Chapter 174: You Are Still My Wife
"You must be seeing things. Li Laizi's wife just married into the family two months ago; how could she look like this?" The old man beside the aunt hurriedly pulled the aunt away.
The aunt looked back while walking, "I'm not talking about the current one, but the one Li Laizi had before."
"Zhang Honghong?" The old man stopped and took a look, clearly somewhat unbelievable, "If you hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have noticed. This really looks a bit like her!"
The reason the two didn't dare to be sure was that when Zhang Honghong was in the village, she worked hard every day, her hair was often unwashed like a chicken coop, and she wore tattered clothes. How could she have such heroism now!
"You must have seen it wrong. Didn't Li Laizi say that person was already dead?" In the end, the old man still didn't believe this person was Zhang Honghong.
But the aunt was even more certain, her tone very firm: "It must be her. Can what Li Laizi says be believed?"
Then the aunt continued: "Look, isn't the direction they are going Li Laizi's house? In my opinion, Li Laizi must have done something, and Zhang Honghong has come back for revenge!"
"Yo! It really is!"
"No, I have to tell the village head!" After the aunt finished speaking, she ran away in the opposite direction.
How could her old man not know his wife? She was born with a loud voice. In a while, I guess the whole village would know. But so many people entering the village, it should indeed be notified to the village head, otherwise everyone would have no idea in their hearts.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly followed behind, "Wife, wait for me!"
Zhang Honghong walked on the road aggressively. At this moment, she could already see her former "home."
Just then, the door of the small hut opened, and an old woman came out to pour water and immediately saw a group of people holding knives.
She was very panicked and wanted to run back into the house, but tripped over her own feet and fell to the ground, immediately shouting loudly.
"Laizi, there are thieves! Help! Help!"
Zhang Honghong walked closer. This was her former mother-in-law, who was arrogant and domineering, always saying she couldn't "lay eggs," making her live like an animal.
Without waiting for Zhang Honghong to speak, the old woman recognized her identity at a glance and immediately climbed up to scold: "You animal who can't lay eggs, you still dare to come back?"
At this time, two more people rushed out of the house, exactly Li Laizi and his new wife.
Li Laizi helped up his mother and frowned at Zhang Honghong, scolding angrily: "I have already divorced you, and you still have the face to come back?"
Zhang Honghong gripped her spear tightly, too lazy to chatter with them. She didn't know why, but seeing these people made a nameless fire jump out in her heart.
Just as Zhang Honghong raised her spear and prepared to do it, a voice came from behind.
"Wait! Let's talk!"
Zhang Honghong turned to look. The person who came was actually the village head of Xiaohe Cun.
The village head ran a few steps, stood panting in front of Zhang Honghong, and asked without any politeness: "Who are you? What are you doing in my Xiaohe Cun?"
Zhang Honghong had a pretty good impression of the village head of Xiaohe Cun. He was fair and just, sometimes spoke very interestingly, and most importantly, the village head had secretly given her two steamed buns.
Li Laizi, the son of a bitch, used her as an animal at that time. She didn't care, as she had strength, but she didn't expect Li Laizi would not give her food to eat.
She accidentally fainted from hunger in the field. Fortunately, the village head found her and gave her two steamed buns.
So Zhang Honghong was relatively polite when facing the village head of Xiaohe Cun, but still directly stated her purpose.
"Grandpa Village Head, I am a bandit from Yangguangzhai. I came here mainly to let Xiaohe Cun join Yangguangzhai."
Many villagers followed behind the village head and heard what Zhang Honghong said at this moment.
For a time, everyone was excited. You have to know that Xiaohe Cun was a village around Jiangcheng. They were different from the villages outside. They had long heard about the affairs of Yangguangzhai.
Moreover, everyone often went to the city to buy grain now. Every time they saw those people taking their household registration to buy cheap grain, they could only buy expensive ones, and they were extremely envious in their hearts.
Not to mention that the matter of Liujia Cun was not hidden. Now the entire Liujia Cun had gone to mine for Yangguangzhai, and they were provided with food and housing and could get quite a lot of monthly wages!
Various things had long made the people of Xiaohe Cun jealous. Unexpectedly, they got the news today that their Xiaohe Cun actually had a chance to join Yangguangzhai?
Zhang Honghong was not surprised by everyone's reaction. In the villages she visited in the past two days, as long as they were near Jiangcheng and Lichee City, they were all grinning from ear to ear when they heard the news, and basically none of them would refuse to join.
"We agree, but I don't know... what can we do?"
The village head beamed with joy and didn't notice that the person in front of him was very familiar for a while.
"Yo! Bandits of Yangguangzhai! This is a hot commodity."
"My cousin's friend is a bandit in Yangguangzhai. Last time he said he would introduce me to date him, but the other party didn't look at me!"
"Stop thinking about it! The bandits of Yangguangzhai naturally want to marry good girls!"
"Auntie, what do you mean?"
The villagers chattered and discussed. The aunt before didn't expect Zhang Honghong to be a bandit of Yangguangzhai and immediately thought of climbing relatives.
"Honghong! You really have a future. You've become a bandit of Yangguangzhai. Auntie is really happy for you!"
Zhang Honghong turned to look at this person. She seemed to have some impression, but couldn't remember how to address her, so she just returned a smile.
"Yo! Auntie Liu, you know a noble person?" Someone in the crowd immediately asked enviously.
"Pfft! Everyone knows her! Take a good look." Auntie Liu said proudly, as if she was the first to recognize Zhang Honghong, and her face was a bit more glorious.
"Eh! Isn't this..."
Everyone looked at Zhang Honghong and then at Li Laizi on the side, and the remaining words couldn't be said.
Mainly because Li Laizi had said in the village before that Zhang Honghong was already dead, so who was standing here now?
Li Laizi heard this on the side, and his eyes immediately turned. He had previously thought that this woman couldn't give birth and was ugly, so he sold her to the slave market.
But selling his wife couldn't be spread, otherwise his reputation would stink, so he lied that Zhang Honghong went to cut firewood and fell to her death from the mountain.
They were all villagers, and everyone didn't expect Li Laizi to do such a thing as selling his wife, only thinking that Zhang Honghong had bad luck.
Now Zhang Honghong had become a bandit of Yangguangzhai, and looking at the standing position, those bandits still listened to her. Maybe she had some status in Yangguangzhai, so could he...
Thinking of this, Li Laizi showed a deep look, looked at Zhang Honghong and said: "Honghong! You don't know how much I missed you during this time! Every time I think of you, I can't even eat!"
His newly married wife was stunned when she heard this. Why was this person's face so thick?
Even his old mother was unbelievable, as if she was meeting her son for the first time.
Zhang Honghong was preparing to attack, but Li Laizi leaned closer and said in a voice only the two of them could hear: "I know you still can't let me go. As long as you give me your monthly wages, you are still my wife, otherwise..." ===== CHAPTER 175 =====
