Chapter 235: Chapter 237 Despicable Person_1
Zhang Ziwen was out of breath, but this matter was no joke, so he insisted on getting the message across.
The situation was simple: while chopping wood on the mountain, he had unintentionally overheard Xiao Lingchuan talking with someone else.
Xiao Lingchuan’s exact words were, "So he bought a plot of land? He’s gone to town today, and who knows if he can even make it back!"
His tone and demeanor were not at all joking.
Zhang Ziwen felt something was off about these words, so he wanted to warn Tan Zhenghong, but he was still a step too late.
No wonder Xiao Lingchuan was so sure, he must have known that Tan Zhenghong had already left the house.
"Xiao Lingchuan often runs goods outside the village and knows quite a few shady characters. If on the way..."
Sun Erhu felt it was bad luck to say more and quickly shut his mouth.
This man might lack other talents, but his words of doom had an uncanny way of becoming true.
Qiao Duo’er could almost guess Xiao Lingchuan’s plan.
Have those thugs take the silver by force, so they couldn’t afford to buy the homestead, and he could get a cut because he provided the tip.
Wouldn’t that be killing two birds with one stone?
"Xiao Family is the worst, could Brother Zheng Hong be in danger?" Chao Lian asked worriedly.
Qiao Duo’er clenched her fists tightly, thinking that after drafting the property deed, she could rest easy, but the Xiao Family still refused to let them be.
She really wanted to curse: A bunch of assholes, truly fucking despicable!
The daughter can’t get married, can she? Always eyeing a married man, is that pleasing?
Hmph, she, Qiao Duo’er, was not someone who shied away from trouble; the Xiao Family had bullied them to this extent, if she didn’t react, wouldn’t that make others laugh their heads off!
After thanking Zhang Ziwen, Qiao Duo’er grabbed the bow and arrows Tan Zhenghong used for hunting and ran out.
"Sister-in-law, Chao Lian, you stay at home, I’ll go see what’s happening."
Sun Erhu said and went home to grab his bow and arrows to follow her.
Zhang Ziwen also wanted to join them, but a mad sprint had left him exhausted, and he could only sit in a chair and gasp for breath.
Qiao Duo’er, slim and small, was not vague at this moment, fully keeping pace with Sun Erhu, even outstripping him a little.
It was clear she was worried about Tan Zhenghong.
Sun Erhu always felt it was his Brother Hong who invested more in their relationship, but now he saw reality was not as he perceived.
His sister-in-law might appear somewhat aloof on the surface, but her heart was definitely hot with passion!
Indeed, in this world, there’s no love without reason.
Between Big Willow Village and the town, there was a stretch of road through the woods, an ideal spot for misdeeds, which is why Qiao Duo’er slowed her steps when she arrived there.
She searched carefully and soon found traces of trampling on the grass.
And it seemed there were quite a few people involved.
Xiao Lingchuan indeed knew many people from the underworld, and since this was a money-making affair, plenty were willing to lend a hand.
Without hesitation, Qiao Duo’er plunged into the woods; her only thought was to rescue Tan Zhenghong.
Tan Zhenghong, you’d better be alright!
She had walked about a hundred meters into the forest when she heard noises ahead.
Crouching down behind a tree, she saw Tan Zhenghong and Tie Niu surrounded by a dozen or so people in the clearing.
Those people looked like mountain bandits, each emanating a murderous vibe, armed with gleaming knives, and the one in charge even donned a flashy tiger skin skirt.
Lucky that Zhang Ziwen was there, or Tan Zhenghong would have been in a real pinch today.
Not that Tan Zhenghong was weak, but it’s hard to defend against multiple attackers, especially when they’re all armed with knives.
