Chapter 620: Chapter 620: You guys go ahead!
Tong Sanlang couldn’t help but have red rimmed eyes when he was called out. He nodded, “It’s me.”
“Mother, Xiaomai and I have married, and we, as a family, have come here to take you home.”
Mother.
Married.
Take you home.
This series of words permeated into Zhuang Luhe’s ears and after being processed by her brain, cracks appeared on her numb expression.
She tilted her head slightly, a bit of brightness appearing in her expressionless eyes, and asked, “What did you say?”
Tong Sanlang patiently repeated the sentence. After finishing, he saw Qiao Changshun driving a cattle cart to the entrance of the courtyard. He lifted his arm and pointed at Qiao Changshun, “Dad is here.”
Dad is here.
Dad, that is Qiao Changshun.
Zhuang Luhe became rigid as if she was frozen. She twisted her neck extremely stiffly and turned her gaze towards the entrance.
At the entrance, Qiao Changshun stopped the cattle cart and got off.
He had already seen Zhuang Luhe. The state Zhuang Luhe was in made the tears in his eyes flow even more fiercely.
He limped as he stepped forward, his body trembling all the while, “Luhe…”
Zhuang Luhe looked at him, her chapped lips moving, but she didn’t say anything.
She stood there blankly, watching Qiao Changshun, her whole body immobile.
It was only when Qiao Changshun reached her side and wrapped his arm around her that she had no reaction.
She was like a dazed person, allowing Qiao Changshun to hold her and cry, his tears flowing freely.
Tong Sanlang looked at the scene, and couldn’t help but feel a sense of sourness in his nose.
He looked towards the father and son, Zhan Jin, standing to one side.
The father and son were originally yelling for help, but when Qiao Changshun appeared, both of them shut their mouths.
They shivered when they noticed that Tong Sanlang was looking at them.
“Wha, what do you want to do?!” Zhan Jin stammered out.
Tong Sanlang had a cold expression. He swiftly moved, appearing right in front of Zhan Jin. He kicked away the child on Zhan Jin and then stepped on Zhan Jin’s chest. He ground his foot in, and along with the sound of bones breaking, Zhan Jin cried out like a pig being slaughtered, “Help, help!”
“No one will come to save you, scum.” Tong Sanlang spat out these few words, his tone as cold as a wind that could chill a person’s bones.
“Your second half of your life, prepare to spend it in jail!” After saying this, Tong Sanlang didn’t linger. He turned around and walked away.
Zhan Jin, a man who has taken a life, the government office should be the one to pronounce judgement on his crimes.
He remembered Xiaomai’s words and wouldn’t let such a person soil his hands.
He looked over at Qiao Changshun, took a handkerchief from his pocket and handed it over, saying, “Dad, take mum and go. Don’t let this filthy place dirty your feet.”
“Xiaomai and Dami are waiting at the entrance of the village.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Changshun thought about his children who were alone at the entrance of the village and hastily took the handkerchief.
After hurriedly wiping his face, he let go of Zhuang Luhe and said in a trembling voice, “Luhe, let’s go home. Xiaomai and Dami are waiting at the village entrance. Let’s go home and live a good life.”
Zhuang Luhe, who had been silent all this while, finally showed a clear change in her expression upon hearing this. She looked at Qiao Changshun blankly, her large, empty eyes due to her emaciation widened even more, “I’m not going back. You all go.”
With these eight words, her previously frozen body regained its flexibility. She lifted her foot and violently dashed towards the kitchen wall.
