523 Severely Injured
Zhang Cong wanted to retaliate, but he thought about how he needed to rely on Zhang Qian to settle this matter and how they would split the money after that and go their separate ways! No one would interfere with each other’s families anymore!
“They can’t go with you! There’s still so much work to do at home! Besides, they still have to sell the vegetables once it’s ready! This way… this way, they can earn more money!” Zhang Wei mustered his courage and retorted.
Zhang Qian walked forward angrily and gave Zhang Wei a slap, causing him to fall to the ground.
“Is there a need for so many people to do just these few things! Even if you get four more people to help, you’ll only make that few dollars! What’s the use! You can’t even buy a pack of cigarettes with that! Besides, I’m bringing them to the city to enjoy life! Don’t hinder me from getting rich!” Zhang Qian scolded.
Zhang Wei looked at Zhang Qian suspiciously. Did he say something about earning money? His younger siblings were going to earn money?
His younger siblings were aged ten and eight respectively. They were still children, so how could they earn money?
Zhang Qian did not waste his breath on Zhang Wei. The more people knew about this matter, the more dangerous it would be for them. He called Zhang Cong to come over and they forcefully picked up Zhang Chao and Zhang Qin. Zhang Miao grabbed onto Zhang Qin’s hand tightly and refused to let go.
“Sister! Sister, don’t go! I want my sister! Let go of my sister!” Zhang Miao shouted at the top of her lungs.
Zhang Qin was flung over Zhang Cong’s shoulder and she cried as she reached out to grab Zhang Miao’s hand and kept kicking and struggling.
Zhang Cong found it so noisy that he shook Zhang Qin. Zhang Qin’s stomach got knocked against his shoulder forcefully and she instantly fell silent from the pain.
“What are you shouting for! It’s not like you’re going to a funeral! Stop shouting! Remember, I’m bringing your siblings to live a good life! You should give them your blessings!” Zhang Qian pointed at Zhang Miao and scolded her.
Zhang Wei hugged Zhang Miao tightly and covered her mouth as he looked at Zhang Qian timidly. He had been beaten up the previous few times when he tried to resist Zhang Qian. He was already covered in injuries and there was no way he could defeat two adult men on his own.
From what Zhang Qian had said just now, Zhang Qian did not intend to take him and Zhang Miao away. He would try his best to protect at least one of them.
“Kid, at least you’re still quite sensible. Take good care of your youngest sister. We’ll take these two children with us and raise them. Tell Li Gui not to worry.” After saying that, Zhang Qian swaggered out of the courtyard with Zhang Cong.
Zhang Miao bit down on Zhang Wei’s hand. She must bring her sister back!
Zhang Wei pushed away Zhang Miao due to the pain and checked his wound. This little girl was so ruthless, he was already bleeding.
Before the two men could walk far, they heard Zhang Miao following behind them, crying and shouting, “Put my sister down! I want my sister! Return my second brother to me!”
Although there was no one around at the moment, the entire village would be alerted if Zhang Miao continued shouting like this.
Zhang Qian turned around and kicked Zhang Miao in the stomach. Zhang Miao was sent flying more than a meter away and fell heavily to the ground.
“Ah!” Zhang Miao cried out in pain.
When Zhang Wei heard the sound, he immediately ran out of the courtyard and saw Zhang Miao lying on the ground, while Zhang Qian and Zhang Cong left with his two younger siblings.
Zhang Wei immediately went forward to hold Zhang Miao and asked, “Miao Miao, look at me! I’m your eldest brother! What’s wrong with you!”
Zhang Miao was in so much pain that she could not speak. Gradually, she could not see clearly and her consciousness began to blur.
“Miao Miao, don’t scare me! Wake up! Zhang Miao! Zhang Miao, look at me!” Zhang Wei desperately hit Zhang Miao’s face to keep her awake.
“Eldest brother… it hurts…” Zhang Miao whispered.
Zhang Wei immediately ran to Qiao Mei’s house and knocked on the door madly.
“Elder sister! Elder sister! Something happened to Zhang Miao! Is anyone home! Grandfather! Elder sister! Are you home! Save us! Is anyone there!”
After knocking on the door for a long time, no one came out. Zhang Wei immediately ran next door to look for Grandma Dong, but it was the same thing.
Zhang Wei returned to Zhang Miao disappointedly. At this moment, Zhang Miao’s face was already pale from the pain and her forehead was covered in sweat.
He used all his strength to pick Zhang Miao up from the ground and onto his back. However, he was not strong enough to support her. Before he even took two steps, he fell and knelt on the ground heavily. Zhang Wei ignored the pain in his knees and quickly reached out to stabilize Zhang Miao so that she would not fall to the ground.
“Miao Miao, hang in there! I’ll bring you to the clinic! Miao Miao, talk to me!” Zhang Wei gritted his teeth and carried Zhang Miao on his back, walking to the clinic step by step.
