Chapter 322 Two people pay off their debts faster than one person
When the militia was rescuing Zheng Lan and Hu Xiaohua, there was a lot of noise. Some old people gathered around, and some went to inform Zhou Chuanjing and Zhou Chuanyi.
The elderly people watching advised Zheng Lan not to do anything stupid, saying that it is better to live a miserable life than to die a good death, and that she should consider her children no matter what.
There was a kind-hearted old man who brought a bowl of warm water from home and gave it to Zheng Lan and Hu Xiaohua to drink.
After thanking her, Zheng Lan tried to feed Hu Xiaohua some water, but she couldn't get it in. Tears started to flow out of her eyes, and she murmured, "My child can't get better... I can't live anymore..."
An old man said, "Oh, your child is seriously ill. Send him to the clinic immediately to have his treatment checked out. Don't delay treatment."
Zheng Lan shook her head and said sadly, "I don't have any money."
Upon hearing this, everyone sighed helplessly and stopped trying to persuade him.
This man seemed to be a disaster victim. Everyone's life was hard now and there was no way they could help this poor mother and daughter. Moreover, once he showed kindness, other disaster victims would come to Zhoujiawan and refuse to leave.
They have no ability to save people from suffering, so they can only blame God for not giving poor people a way to survive!
Hu Bing was hiding in the dark. Seeing that Zheng Lan and Hu Xiaohua were about to die, the people of Zhoujiawan were still indifferent. Not only did they refuse to lend them money for medical treatment, they even refused to give them food. Hu Bing quickly jumped out and said that the people of Zhoujiawan had forced his wife and children to death.
He also said that Zheng Lan was touched by several men, and if she was not given an explanation and compensation, he would go to the commune to make trouble and spread these scandals so that everyone would know about the dirty things happening in Zhoujiawan.
Zhou Chuan'an was so angry that he smashed Hu Bing's arm with his homemade gun and cursed: "You son of a bitch! I was wondering why a good woman would commit suicide with her child in her arms. It turns out that it was the wife and child of you, a beast.
With your character, you must have treated them harshly, which made them unable to live. Not only do you not behave like a human being, but you also want to blackmail us. Today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven and beat you to death, you conscienceless beast!"
The militia members were also angered by Hu Bing's rogue behavior and helped Zhou Chuanan to teach Hu Bing a lesson.
Hu Bing was beaten so badly that he had no power to fight back. He begged for mercy again and again, saying that he did not want any compensation. He also shamelessly asked if someone's family was in need of a wife and he was willing to give Zheng Lan to that person as long as he gave him something to eat.
Zhou Chuan'an kicked Hu Bing and said, "You beast! You actually said that I would sell out my wife. I guess I didn't give you enough punishment!"
Zhou Chuanan became furious and hit Hu Bing even harder, leaving wounds all over Hu Bing's forehead, cheeks, arms and thighs.
Because he had a criminal record, no matter how he begged for mercy, Zhou Chuanan had no intention of stopping. The onlookers also did not help to plead for him, as they all wanted to teach him a severe lesson.
Hu Bing didn't want to be beaten to death. Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, he shouted angrily: "Zheng Lan, you bitch, your man is almost beaten to death, why don't you come to help?"
Zheng Lan stared at Hu Bing intently and said indifferently: "I can't beat them, so I can't help you."
Hu Bing: "If you can't beat me, you can just stand in front of me! If I get killed, you'll be a widow!"
Zheng Lan sneered, hugged Hu Xiaohua in her arms, knelt on the ground, and said with a dead heart: "The three of us are a family and cannot be separated. Hu Bing's sins are so serious that his death is not a pity.
Please kill him and bury the three of us together. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you all for your kindness."
Onlookers: “???…”
Hu Bing: “!!!…”
Zhou Chuanjing rushed over after hearing the news and after learning the whole story, he told Zheng Lan to stop making trouble, and to take Hu Xiaohua and Hu Bing away immediately, and not to come to Zhoujiawan again, otherwise they would take ruthless action and they would bear the consequences.
Zheng Lan smiled bitterly and said, "I have nowhere to go. This beast asked me to come out to beg for food, and if I can't get anything to eat, he said he would boil my child.
My little Hua hasn't had a good life since she was born. Can you please let me stay here for a while? If Xiao Hua dies, I will bury her properly and take care of her for a few days to prevent her from being poisoned by her own father."
After hearing this, Zhou Chuanan beat Hu Bing again.
The onlookers also scolded Hu Bing for being a good-for-nothing, saying that he wanted to eat his own children and was not afraid of being struck by lightning.
Hu Bing argued that he had never said such words and that Zheng Lan was talking nonsense.
Zhou Rong, who was squeezed in the crowd, felt pity when he saw Hu Xiaohua, who was pale and thin in Zheng Lan's arms.
Zhou Rong approached Zheng Lan and whispered, "If you were given a chance, would you be willing to get rid of that scum?"
Zheng Lan said bitterly: "I have tried to get rid of him more than once, but I couldn't. He has a bad temper. If I don't obey him, he will either beat me or scold me, or threaten me with the children."
Zhou Rong: "Just cooperate with me and leave the rest to me."
Zheng Lan: "Okay."
Zhou Rong walked up to Hu Bing and said coldly: "The pond where your wife jumped into is the source of drinking water for our production team.
We have no grudge against your daughter-in-law, but she jumped into the water with her child in her arms to commit suicide, polluting the water source and destroying the feng shui of our production team. She must pay compensation.
We don't want more, just 88 yuan. Since you are the head of the family, you should pay it. If you dare not pay, we will send you to the People's Armed Forces Department of the commune and lock you up."
When Hu Bing heard this, he said hurriedly: "I have no money. If I had money, I would not have fled. I did not force Zheng Lan to jump into the water. I just asked her to come out and beg for food.
Who knew she would take the initiative to jump into the water? If you want compensation, go find her. When I get back, I will teach her a lesson!"
Zhou Rong asked Zheng Lan: "Do you have money to pay?"
Zheng Lan: “No.”
Zhou Rong: "Husband and wife are one. If you get into trouble, it is only natural for your husband to pay for it. Now you don't have the money to pay, so we sell your husband to the quarry to do hard labor. Do you have any objection?"
Zheng Lan: "...No problem, just go ahead and sell it. I have a mother-in-law who lives on a barren hill outside the village. I can sell it to you as well. Two people can pay off the debt faster than one person."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, let's send them to the quarry now."
Zhou Rong whispered a few words to Zhou Chuan'an, who nodded repeatedly and promised to get the job done. Then he called a few militiamen and carried Hu Bing out of the village.
Hu Bing struggled desperately: "I don't want to go to the quarry. I can't come back from there. Let me go!
Zheng Lan is responsible for the trouble she caused. I will divorce her now. If you want money, go to her. Why do you want to arrest me to pay off the debt? "
The militia did not listen to Hu Bing's explanation and, under the leadership of Zhou Chuan'an, went to find Grandma Sun...
After Hu Bing was taken away, Zhou Rong felt Hu Xiaohua's forehead and breath and said, "The child has a fever and needs to be sent to the clinic for an injection as soon as possible."
Zheng Lan cried and said, "But I have no money..."
Zhou Rong: "I'll lend it to you. When your child recovers, you can go back to work and pay me back."
Zheng Lan: "Okay, thank you!"
