Chapter 1434: I Have No Choice Either

"Hehe, I have to hand it to you, kid." Zhao Desan said admiringly.

"It didn't stop there. I don't know why, but it seemed Second Brother noticed something or was not at ease with his new wife, so later, he simply built a shack in the fields and brought his new wife to live in the fields. This really made me cry..." Shuanzhu said with a tone of regret.

"Then what method did you come up with?" Zhao Desan asked.

"This time I really spent money. I knew Second Brother liked to drink, so I used the money I had saved to buy a few bottles of wine and went to the fields to drink with Second Brother every few days. Second Brother naturally didn't know the reason, but instead enjoyed it tirelessly, getting dead drunk every time. So, I took his new wife to a nearby cornfield, where I had already laid out a comfortable grass bed, and the two of us did it there comfortably. Hehe, don't tell me, doing it here was very comfortable; that kind of primitive resonance could make you radiate huge energy..." Shuanzhu recalled with relish.

Hearing this, Zhao Desan couldn't help but grip Zheng Jie's hand tightly, feeling very uncomfortable all over. The soft resonance coming from the tightly gripped hand made him pant slightly...

"Big brother, what's wrong with you?" Shuanzhu seemed to see Zhao Desan's abnormality and asked quickly.

"I'm fine, you just keep talking." Zhao Desan, in his urgency, actually started speaking like "I, I." After saying this, he secretly glanced at Zheng Jie and saw her secretly laughing at him.

Shuanzhu sighed and continued, "Later, I finally understood why Zeng Jinlan wanted to do this kind of thing with me. After I had done it with her a few times, she started telling me to help her escape from here. This made me a bit difficult, so she started not treating me well, and several times she wouldn't let me touch her body, which made me feel stifled."

"Look, isn't it? I knew she had a purpose." Zhao Desan said proudly.

Shuanzhu shook his head and continued, "It seemed like I was addicted to opium, unable to stop. So I promised to help her escape from here. But it's easy to say, really hard to do. Our place is a poor and remote area, and if you want to go to the county seat, you have to walk hundreds of miles of mountain roads. And, and I had never walked out of our village before."

"It seems that for this woman, you didn't even want your own father and mother, right?" Zhao Desan glared at Shuanzhu and said.

Shuanzhu sighed and continued, "I didn't disregard my parents, I almost risked my life."

Zhao Desan took the conversation and said, "So you were bewitched and eloped with her, right?"

Shuanzhu nodded and said, "She told me that if I could escape with her, she could let me live a good life, and she would marry me and let me enjoy happiness in the big city."

"You believe such ghost stories?" Zhao Desan couldn't help but feel helpless at Shuanzhu's simple mind.

Shuanzhu snorted disdainfully and said, "Of course I know now, but I didn't dare believe it at the time, and I felt she really wanted to live with me wholeheartedly. So, I escaped from my little mountain village with her regardless of everything, and after a bumpy journey, I escaped to this city I didn't even dare to think about. However, when I got here, before I could settle down, I lost Zeng Jinlan. So I lived by begging while looking for her everywhere. Finally, hard work pays off. One evening, I ran into her at the entrance of the Waterwood Residential Area. Although her attire was completely different from before, I could absolutely recognize that the woman was her. But she said she didn't know me. This really made me at a loss. It was only when I saw the end that I understood: I was used by her, or to put it bluntly, I was cheated by her."

"So, you started robbing?" Zhao Desan asked closely.

"No, at the very beginning, I wanted to go back to my hometown immediately, but I had no travel expenses. Secondly, considering that I couldn't face Second Brother after going back, I stayed. However, I'm a rural young man, how would I understand things here? Even begging for food has people chasing you for territory fees. I had been hungry for several days, and I really had no other way, so I ran into Sister Zheng, and then I had the heart..."

"You had the heart to rob, say it all, okay!" Zhao Desan said nitpickingly.

"Then what are you going to do in the future?" Zheng Jie, who was on the side, spoke.

Shuanzhu shook his head and said sadly, "It was all because I was momentarily bewitched that I did such a thing. Now I don't dare go back to my village, so I can only muddle through one day at a time."

Zheng Jie looked at Zhao Desan, meaning: *What should we do now? * Zhao Desan also looked at Zheng Jie, meaning: *Don't look at me, I have no choice either! *

The room was quiet for a long time. At this time, Zhao Desan broke the deadlock and said, "I think we should wait until tomorrow for anything. Let's go to sleep first. Tomorrow morning, you come with me. You absolutely cannot live here anymore, do you know?" Zhao Desan pointed at Shuanzhu as he spoke.

Shuanzhu nodded, his eyes showing a look of gratitude, and said, "Thank you, big brother. I will never forget your kindness in my life."

"Alright, stop thanking me. I'll just put you on the train tomorrow. I have no choice for anything else." Zhao Desan stated his thoughts.

"Big brother, then don't trouble yourself. I can go back by myself, but not now. If I go back now, Second Brother will definitely take my life," Shuanzhu answered straightforwardly.

"Xiao Zhao, you should just save him to the end. Think about if there's any other way?" Zheng Jie's soft words were very pleasant for Zhao Desan to hear. At the same time, he felt that Zheng Jie's words made him very difficult. But if he wanted to take care of it, what could he do?

"Big brother, just find me something to do. I have strength, I don't want anything, as long as I can have enough to eat," Shuanzhu said to Zhao Desan, who was lost in thought.

Zhao Desan looked at Shuanzhu's expectant eyes and then at Zheng Jie's expectant gaze. He really had no way to refute Shuanzhu's request, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, since things have reached this point, I can only accept it. I guarantee that as long as I have meat to eat, you won't go hungry, okay?" Zhao Desan was now also influenced by Shuanzhu, speaking sometimes "I" and sometimes "me."

"Thank you, big brother. I will listen to you from now on. Whatever you tell me to do, I will do!" Shuanzhu said happily.

Zhao Desan looked at Shuanzhu's determined appearance, and a feeling of wanting to test him arose in his heart. At the same time, his brain turned, as if he had thought of something. His eyes narrowed, and he said mysteriously: *Really? Whatever big brother tells you to do, you will do? *
