Professor Gu's daily life in the countryside after his rebirth

Chapter 134: Capture

Zhou Yunyun glanced at He Miao and the others vaguely, lowered her head and did not speak for a long time.

Even if what she said at that time was true, she couldn't just say it without substantial evidence. She said it just to piss off Zhao Hongmei, but if she had to say it in public, she still couldn't say it.

Seeing this, Zhao Baogen knew that it was just some groundless rumors.

He turned his gaze to He Miao again and asked calmly, "Tell me, who started it first?"

He Miao pointed at Zhao Hongmei without hesitation and said, "It was Zhao Hongmei. She rushed over and beat Zhou Yunyun first. Then, when we saw that Zhou Yunyun couldn't win, we went over to help..."

After listening to He Miao's account of the entire incident, Zhao Baogen was furious and cursed: "I'm telling you, if Gu Zhan's wife is fine, then forget it. If anything goes wrong, you'll be punished. And the rest of you, when the other person comes back, come and apologize to me."

"Okay, Captain." The young wives had a good relationship with Liu Xiaoxi. If they wanted to apologize, they should come to his house to apologize. After all, they had caused such a big trouble.

But for Zhao Dani and Zhao Hongmei, who regarded Liu Xiaoxi as a thorn in their side, this apology request was simply a heartbreak.

Zhao Dani jumped up three feet high and cursed angrily, "Asking me to apologize to her? No way."

Zhao Baogen held his forehead helplessly, looked at Zhao Hongmei, and said majestically: "Hongmei!"

Zhao Hongmei paused for a moment, then followed the others and said, "Okay, uncle."

Zhang Qiaomei heard the faint voices inside and Zhao Baogen's sometimes high and sometimes low questions, and she felt inexplicably irritated. Her stupid daughter-in-law and stupid mother-in-law were together all day long and never did anything to worry about.

When Zhao Hongmei came out of the brigade office, she saw her mother-in-law waiting for her not far away with a sullen look on her face. She lowered her head and walked over to her, calling out, "Mom!"

Zhang Qiaomei ignored Zhao Hongmei and walked out of the brigade headquarters yard. Zhao Dani followed closely beside Zhao Hongmei and said, "Don't apologize. Apologizing to that bastard's family is wishful thinking."

But when Zhao Hongmei thought of Zhao Baogen's majestic eyes, she couldn't help but feel scared: "Grandma, I'd better go. It's okay if you don't go."

Hearing what Zhao Hongmei said, Zhao Dani knew that it was impossible to stop Zhao Hongmei from apologizing to Liu Xiaoxi, so she rolled her eyes at Zhao Hongmei and strode forward.

Zhang Qiaomei was feeling irritable, so she ignored Zhao Dani who was walking in front of her, and walked home with Zhao Hongmei along the village road.

The weather turned cloudy, there was no moon at night, the road was dark, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked very slowly.

Not long after leaving the brigade headquarters, when passing by Widow Zhao's door, Zhang Qiaomei's eyes flashed, and she saw a dark shadow with its waist hunched coming out of the door of Widow Zhao's house.

The shadow probably didn't see the people walking on the road, so it walked stealthily onto the main road.

It was pitch dark, and the man was probably nervous. He didn't look at the road and accidentally bumped into Zhang Qiaomei.

On a dark and windy night, a person suddenly bumped into the shadow, and the shadow screamed, "Ah, ghost!"

Zhang Qiaomei was curious about who the black shadow was. She had heard that Widow Zhao had affairs with several men in the village, and that men often came in and out of her house at night.

Who knew that the other person would bump into him without paying attention while walking.

Zhang Qiaomei was also startled by the scream of the black shadow. Then he realized that it was Gu Mancang's voice, and suddenly his head felt dizzy.

"Gu Mancang?"

Gu Mancang had just run out of Widow Zhao's house and had not yet completely adapted to the darkness outside. He just wanted to leave the vicinity of Widow Zhao's house as soon as possible to avoid being spotted by others. Who knew that he would bump into someone as soon as he went out.

He panicked for a moment, then thought that it was dark and no one could see each other clearly, so the best thing to do was to leave quickly. So he left in a hurry.

He had only taken two steps when he heard Zhang Qiaomei calling him.

When Gu Mancang heard Zhang Qiaomei's voice, his calves began to tremble.

what to do? To go or not to go?

In the end, Gu Mancang decided to take the risk. It was dark at this time, and as long as he refused to admit it and was not caught by Zhang Qiaomei on the spot, he would be fine.

So, when Gu Mancang heard Zhang Qiaomei calling his name, he paused for a moment, then quickened his pace and left.

Zhang Qiaomei saw the black shadow pause for a moment and then quickly left. She was almost 100% sure in her heart that the black shadow was Gu Mancang.

Zhang Qiaomei ignored Zhao Hongmei and Zhao Dani behind her and quickened her pace to jog a few steps along with the shadow. Just as the shadow was about to walk into another path, she grabbed his ear and asked, "Gu Mancang, where are you running to?"

When Gu Mancang heard Zhang Qiaomei call out his name with certainty, he thought to himself: I'm done for this time.

He stopped, smiled awkwardly, and turned back to call Zhang Qiaomei, "Wife."

The word "daughter-in-law" made Zhang Qiaomei's blood boil. She didn't care that they were on the road, and didn't care that her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were present. She slapped Zhao Baogen in the face.

"Snapped!"

The sound of the slap was even clearer in the night, and even Zhao Dani, who was dozens of meters away, could hear it.

Zhang Qiaomei's voice almost lost its mind: "Gu Mancang, tell me, where did you go just now?"

Gu Mancang was forced back to his senses by Zhang Qiaomei's voice. He knew that he must not admit that he had an affair with Widow Zhao at this moment, otherwise if other people in the village knew about it, it would be over.

So he turned around and asked Zhang Qiaomei, "What have you been doing so late?"

Zhang Qiaomei was so angry at Gu Mancang's stubbornness that she laughed: "You went to Widow Zhao's house, right?"

Seeing that Zhang Qiaomei had directly exposed his thoughts, Gu Mancang forced an awkward smile on his face: "Wife, don't talk nonsense. Why would I go to Widow Zhao's house? I... I was just passing by."

"Just passing by?" Zhang Qiaomei stepped closer to Gu Mancang and said, "I saw you leaving her house. Do you think I'm a fool?"

Hearing other footsteps in the distance, Gu Mancang pleaded, "Wife, please keep your voice down. It would be bad if others heard us."

Zhang Qiaomei laughed in anger. She pointed her finger at Gu Mancang's nose and scolded him, "You know how to save face now? Gu Mancang, why didn't you know how to save face when you did it?"

Seeing that Zhang Qiaomei was determined to do it, Gu Mancang threatened in a panic: "If you say anything more and others hear it, not only will I lose face, but Junzi will also lose face."

Zhang Qiaomei's hand, which was pointing at Gu Mancang's nose, paused for a moment, and her eyes stared at Gu Mancang fiercely in the darkness.

He waited until anyone passing by left the house with a look of suspicion before continuing to scold, "Gu Mancang, you now have some dignity to save for your child. Did you think about it when you did these disgusting things?"
