053 Chance to leave

After a meal of the spoon stirring the soup, Xiao Zhao joked casually: "Can you come to look for relatives like me? If so, that would be a coincidence."

"No, she seems to be just visiting her friends. I don't know much about the specific things. They are all heard, just the two people who just arrived."

"Is their words trustworthy?"

"Maybe it's not very credible now, but they were not like this before. Before something happened in Xindu County, they were very honest. They often went to the stream outside the county with their husband to fetch water and fish. When they saw me, they also called my sister-in-law. Later, when they followed Mr. He, they gradually became impetuous and often spoke with roars. However, due to their previous friendship, they would occasionally come to their homes. At that time, they heard them talk, and rarely came over in the future."

Xiao Zhao asked tentatively, "Sister-in-law, they come here to sit here, probably not just come to drink tea, right?"

"Why are you thinking so much? But you're right. At that time, they had already started to persuade their husband to go to Mr. He's side to help, but they were rejected by their husband. This is the first time they heard them speak so bluntly."

"If I were caught by them, would I die?"

The woman was stunned, "I don't know this, but I heard that outsiders who broke into this place were sent to a place to be locked up. Mr. He and his friends had no hostility towards outsiders, and the only ones they targeted were people in the county government."

"Mr. He is really busy. He has to pay attention to dealing with the people in the county government and also paying attention to us outsiders. I think it's better to pull the county magistrate down and replace him with it. In this way, everyone shouldn't have any objections."

The woman was amused by her, "What are you saying? This county order can't be called just by saying it. However, Mr. He is also dedicated. He is not from Xindu County. If something happens in the county, he can leave. Anyway, with A Furong he cultivates, he can make a lot of money everywhere, but he stays to make a fuss with us. Although he is very grateful, it is really unbearable."

"Where did Mr. He come from? He seems to be very powerful after hearing what his sister-in-law said."

"Mr. He never mentions his origin to others, so there are many rumors about his life experience outside, which are all speculations in private. However, I also think he must not be an ordinary person, otherwise how could he cultivate such a powerful A Furong and stand up when the life and death of us ordinary people are at stake and hold on for us."

Xiao Zhao heard some admiration and sigh from the woman's mouth.

"Mr. He is indeed a good person, but sister-in-law, don't blame me for telling the truth. I think it's not a solution to make trouble like this. Since it is said that the county magistrate harmed people, why don't you find evidence of him harming people first and go to the prefect to sue him directly."

"Xiao Zhao, you are still young and don't understand what officials are protecting each other. Everyone has long lost trust in the government. Moreover, Mr. He said that since the county magistrate dares to do such a thing, they can still spread the facts that are enough to turn black and white to the outside world. The evidence must have been destroyed long ago, and it is impossible for them to stay by our side waiting for us to steal."

Xiao Zhao shook his head, obviously disagreeing with this statement, "So are you just making trouble every day? They stay in the county government and can't come out, can you still spend so long? The superiors will know about this sooner or later. Then, send troops here and listen to the county magistrate's nonsense and suppress you as rioters. Wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

"No, although we didn't follow Mr. He, we also knew their movements." The woman's eyes suddenly dimmed, "If things are really as they said today, then they may have almost broken through the county government. Our home is here and our relatives are here and we can't get out. Miss Zhao, you should leave quickly. The relatives you have never met are still not as important as your own life."

Xiao Zhao's eyes flashed, he reached out to hold the woman's hand, and said lightly: "Sister-in-law, don't say that. You have no intention of being enemies with either side and wanting to keep yourself safe. This idea itself is correct. You cannot leave because of guilt, not because you don't want to leave."

The woman was stunned for a moment and sighed, "You are very clear-minded, but I feel very ashamed of seeing it."

Xiao Zhao smiled and didn't say anything. He continued to concentrate on drinking the soup in the bowl. He was just talking while drinking the soup. After a few spoons, a bowl of soup was soon found.

"Miss Xiao Zhao, Mr. He and the others will invade the county government every three days, and treat those who are sick every seven days. When you come in, the reason why you can avoid them may be that they will be busy in one day."

Xiao Zhao raised his confusing eyebrows, not understanding why the woman suddenly said this.

"Tomorrow is a day of overlap. They have to conquer the county government and treat the patients. Every time this day comes, the county will become very messy. Not to mention the people who conquer the county, just those patients who are ill and rush out of the street and run around is enough for them to have a headache. At that time, it is the opportunity for you to leave. I will ask my husband to send you out quietly."

When Xiao Zhao heard this, she just lowered her eyes and said nothing.

She came on April 19th, and calculated the day, just six days ago, and she had an inexplicable intuition that the strange thing he had that day might have nothing to do with Mr. He and his group of people.

The woman did not notice her strangeness and continued, "At that time, you will pretend to be a patient, pretend to be crazy all the way, scold anyone who catches and scolds anyone, and if someone gets close, don't worry about anything and smash things directly, so it's easy to hide your eyes and ears."

"Well, I remember everything my sister-in-law said, let me think about it."

Seeing that the smile on her face was faint, the woman did not force herself to say anything. She put away the empty bowl and told her to go to bed early and then got up and left.

When she sent the woman to the door, Xiao Zhao's hand holding the door frame suddenly tightened, "Sister-in-law."

"What's wrong?"

"I have a problem. The county magistrate is the magistrate of a county. He should allow the people to be healthy, smooth and prosperous, but he has caused the entire Xindu County to be in chaos. Don't you hate him?"

The woman groped at the edge of the empty bowl, with a little entanglement and hesitation, "Tell me hate, there are also some things. After all, so many people died. If there were no such thing, everyone's life would be better and better. No one would die, nor would the family be destroyed. Everyone should not be worried, afraid of getting infected or being killed, and not be full of hatred and anger. Everything will be happy and harmonious."

"Since that's the case, why don't you go to Mr. He like others and take revenge on the people in the county government office with him? They caused the current situation in Xindu County."

"Miss Xiao Zhao, not everyone has to live in hatred. We also yearn for a stable life. We are very grateful to Mr. He. It is him who makes our lives richer and can see the hope of being safe and sound all his life. It is precisely because of this that he is unwilling to break the hope and be full of hatred. He will take revenge on the county government. After all, it is also a prison for himself."

Xiao Zhao smiled, "I understand, sister-in-law, go to bed early, thank you for your peace of mind."

"Just like it."

The woman turned around and left, and her back quickly disappeared into the night. Xiao Zhao slowly closed the door. Her face, which was still full of smiles, was expressionless in a flash, and her long eyelashes drooped, covering her cold eyes.

The next morning, Huang Sheng left the house and did not come back until noon.

Xiao Zhao also went out. When the woman got up early to prepare meals, she saw her go to the water tank to fetch water. Later, she disappeared. Last night, she had already told the woman not to prepare her portion this morning.

Hearing the movement of Huang Sheng coming back, the woman threw the vegetables into the basin, shook the water from her hands, and walked into the yard. She saw the people following Huang Sheng at a glance, who were the two who came to make trouble last night.

The woman pulled Huang Sheng over and whispered in a hurry: "Honey, why did you bring them back? Xiao Zhao hasn't come back yet."

"Sister-in-law, I was really sorry yesterday. We were also anxious. All the dirty words came out. Don't be surprised by them."

The woman looked at them in surprise, always feeling something strange. Huang Sheng pulled her shoulder and gently pushed her towards the kitchen.

"Have the food ready? This time they followed me to have a meal. So hurry up to avoid everyone going hungry."

"Don't worry, let my sister-in-law do it slowly. Let's go into the house to drink." The two men held Huang Sheng's shoulders and walked into the house.

The woman went to cook reluctantly. This time she didn't come slowly, not because of Huang Sheng, but for Xiao Zhao. The girl didn't know when she would come back in the morning. She wanted to go outside to guard. If she saw Xiao Zhao coming back, she had to keep the person outside first and not let her see the two men.

As soon as the dishes were cooked, she immediately took them over. As soon as she stepped into the house, she looked over and almost smashed them with the dishes and plates.

The pretty little girl sat next to Huang Sheng, talking with a smile. Her soft and tender hands were placed on the table, holding the teacup. One of the men's hands was about to touch them quietly. The little girl just retracted her hand. The man's fingers touched the hot cup wall, and her eyes were instantly widened because of the scalding.

The woman tightened the plate in her hand and walked over angrily.
