C121 Something else is going on

Zhou Hao wanted to ask more, but when he saw Yan Qing pursing her lips with a melancholy expression, he couldn't bear to force her.

Sighing to himself, he revealed a smile and changed the topic. "Oh right, I heard aunt say that you're no longer studying."

Yan Qing nodded her head and said with a self-deprecating smile, "Anyway, I'm not a material for studying. I've never qualified for the Chinese Literature test before."

She smiled lightly as she looked at Zhou Hao, "Aunt said that your school results are very good. Xiao Hao, you have to work hard.

She knew that only by studying hard would she have a bright future, but she wasn't studying anymore.

Actually, Zhou Hao knew that Yan Qing was a girl with a clever mind. If she could set her mind on studying seriously, her results would not be any worse than his.

However, on one hand, Yan Munan's family's conditions were not considered good. Even after working hard for an entire year, they were only barely able to maintain their family's existence.

It would be difficult to take even a single step forward if he were to bear the burden of Yan Qing's tuition. Furthermore, since Yan Qing was young, she had to help out with the household chores. The time that she could spend on studying was very limited.

Thus, Yan Qing was not stupid, but rather objectively unable to take care of her studies.

She didn't go to high school because she didn't want to burden her family anymore.

"Cousin Qingqing, if you have the chance, will you go back to school?" Zhou Hao asked.

Yan Qing paused, then shook her head and smiled, "Forget it, I do not have this kind of talent, so there is no need for me to waste my time."

"What about the job? Cousin, do you want to work in the city?" Zhou Hao said to her.

"Work?" Yan Qing's heart skipped a beat.

Zhou Hao laughed: "That's right, my mom has a shop. You can come and help out, since we are family after all, it is very convenient to take care of them."

"Can I really?" Hearing Zhou Hao's words, Yan Qing Qing was very moved, but after thinking about it, her expression darkened again.

"I … I don't think so. I want to stay here. I can't leave here."

As she said this, a flash of pain and helplessness appeared in her eyes, as if there was some kind of problem that she had to remain here for.

"Why? I don't think Uncle and the others would object. " Zhou Hao said.

Yan Qing shook her head stubbornly. "No need, Xiao Hao, there's really no need.

I am very good here, I don't need to go to the city, and you can also ask for other people's help. As a rural girl, I am not the only one who can do it without me. "

However, Zhou Hao was puzzled by his slight transformation. Just now, when he said that she could help in the city, her face had clearly revealed a moved look.

However, he suddenly changed his attitude. It was clear that he had some difficulties.

However, Zhou Hao also knew that even though Yan Qing was gentle and kind, she was also very stubborn at times. If she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't say it no matter what he asked her.

Therefore, he purposely said, "Then forget it, I won't force you."

"Yes." Yan Qing nodded her head, but her eyes were also filled with deep disappointment and helplessness.

"Oh right, Cousin Qingqing, I brought a gift for you this time." Zhou Hao laughed.

Yan Jing smiled again. "Really? What gift is it? "

Zhou Hao took out a telepathic knot from his chest pocket and passed it to Yan Qing, "Previously, didn't you always say that you want to be like the female protagonist in the TV, and have a telepathic knot? I've brought it for you. "

Yan Qing was stunned as she saw this red heart knot. Then, two teardrops gushed out of her eyes. She covered her mouth and burst into tears.

Zhou Hao was frightened by Yan Qing's reaction and immediately said: "Cousin Qingqing, what's wrong? You, why are you crying? Did I do something wrong? Cousin Qingqing, don't cry. "

Yan Qing shook her head and sobbed, "No, you didn't do anything wrong. It was me, I was just too happy."

She took the telepathic knot in her heart, and said to Zhou Hao: "Xiao Hao, I'm really too happy. I really like this gift of yours."

As she spoke, her tears began to flow again.

However, Zhou Hao felt that other than being happy, there was also an indescribable sadness on his face.

Yan Qing looked at this telepathic knot that Zhou Hao had given her with a deep look, and then covered it with her hand. Finally, she carefully put it into her clothes bag.

Wiping his tears, he smiled at Zhou Hao: "Xiao Hao, thank you. I really like this present. I really do."

"It's good that you like it. We've been out for a long time. Let's go back." Zhou Hao said, then gently pulled Yan Qing's hand and headed down the mountain.

As she was holding Zhou Hao's hand, her face gently rippled with two faint red clouds.

Looking at Zhou Hao's mature figure that had already grown up, her eyes suddenly became a little misty and a little misty and sad.

And Zhou Hao, who was holding onto Yan Qing's hand, also had a strange feeling in his heart. Especially the warmth and slight wetness that came from Yan Qing's palm, it was as if a thread of it was seeping into Zhou Hao's heart.

Returning to the front door of the Yan family, Zhou Hao and Yan Qing saw a group of villagers watching from outside.

Zhou Hao's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pulled Yan Qing and the others through the crowd and into the cave.

As he was walking through the crowd, Zhou Hao heard someone say, "Eh? Wasn't that Old Wei's wife? Why did you bring a man back? "

Other than Zhou Hao, Yan Qing Qing had also heard this, but she did not say anything, only lowering her head and following behind Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao did not have the time to care about these villagers as he walked into the Yan family with Yan Qing.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Zhou Hao saw two dogs lying there bleeding from their stomachs. Their intestines and internal organs had all leaked out, making them look extremely terrifying.

As for Yan Mudong and Yan Tong, they were both in the courtyard, and upon seeing Zhou Hao returning with Yan Qing, Yan Munan immediately came over.

He said nervously, "You guys have returned. How is it? Nothing happened outside, right?"

Zhou Hao shook his head and asked Yan Munan: "Second Uncle, what's going on? How did these two dogs die in our yard? "

First Uncle Yan Mudong walked to the door and waved to the villagers who were watching outside, "Alright, alright, everyone can go back now.

It's just two dead dogs, there's nothing much to see, both of you can go back now. " As he spoke, he closed the door to the courtyard.

Yan Tong glanced at the two dogs, and said: "These shouldn't be our dogs, right?"

Yan Munan shook his head: "No."

"But who's so disgusting as to throw them in our yard?" Yan Tong said while covering her mouth.

At this moment, Yan Qing's face was extremely ugly as she stared at the two terrifyingly dead dogs on the ground. She muttered to herself, "It must be Wei Kuangshu's doing."

Although her voice was soft, Zhou Hao's hearing was far superior to others, so he was able to hear her words clearly.

This was also the first time Zhou Hao had heard of "Wei Kangtu" from Yan Qing's mouth.

"Let's stop talking for now and deal with these two dogs." Yan Mudong said, then together with Yan Munan, they carried the two corpses out of the courtyard, and used sand to cover the bloodstains on the ground.

After returning to the house, Zhou Hao took the lead and asked, "First Uncle, Second Uncle, what happened? Those two dogs from before were obviously a form of threat.

First Uncle, Second Uncle, we are family. If you have anything to say, just tell us.

Yan Tong also said: "That's right big brother, second brother, Xiao Hao is right. Quickly tell us what happened."

Yan Mudong sighed deeply and said: "Didn't we always raise fish?

Two years ago, we contracted four more fish ponds and brought them to a nearby county to buy them. Business was good and our lives were better.

However, half a year ago, including our original three fish ponds, all of them died. We don't know why.

Moreover, we still owe them a few thousand yuan when we buy the fish. If we can't sell the fish, then we can't afford to pay it back. "

"Just when we have no solution, Old Wei's family said that they can lend the money to us first."

Yan Mudong said: "We borrowed 5,000 yuan from Old Wei's family and quickly bought a new breed of fish. But, no matter how careful we are, all those young fish died in the end. So, the people who sold us those young fish also came to chase after our debts. "

Hearing his two uncles, Zhou Hao tightly furrowed his brows, and then said: "Where do we have the money to return it to? That person said that if we still don't pay up, he's going to take our house away.

At that time, Old Wei's family lent us another five thousand yuan to repay that debt. However, this way, we would owe Old Wei ten thousand yuan. "

Yan Mudong said: "We don't dare to raise fish anymore. We think about how we can slowly return the money back.

But just last fall, when our fields were about to be harvested, the rice in the fields had somehow all withered and died.

Without these grains and rice, not only will we not have any income this year, we will also have problems getting food and drinks. "

At this time, Zhou Hao spoke up, "And then, that Wei family took the initiative to lend you money?"

Yan Mudong looked at Zhou Hao in shock, "Xiao Hao, how did you know?"

Yan Munan said: "After the rice withered and died, the Old Wei family saw that it was difficult for us, so they lent us another five thousand yuan."

Second Aunt Lu Guifang sighed, "We owe Old Wei a total of fifteen thousand yuan, but Old Wei and the others did not rush us.

However, in the end, Old Wei's son, Ah Ji, came to ask for our hand in marriage.

He told us we wouldn't have to pay the fifteen thousand dollars if we married her lightly, and that his family would give us ten thousand dollars as a gift. "

"But we know about that Ah Ji." Yan Munan said: "That brat might be young, but he's good at gambling and drinking, and is not a good man."
