Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

Chapter 402: Miss Wu - Meeting Zhang Shouyi

The third aunt of the Wu family is named Wu Fengyue. She is the third child in the family. She has older sisters and two older sisters who have been raised by their parents since early in life, and a younger brother who is looked after by the whole family. She is like a transparent person at home. She wants the attention of her relatives and the love of her parents.

Many times, the more you want something, the more you tend to go in the opposite direction. For example, if you want to get your parents' attention, you will choose to be obedient or naughty. But Wu Fengyue is the opposite. The first step she takes when she wants their care is to ignore them and focus on herself.

Wu Fengyue spent all her time on improving herself. She was not very talented in studying, but she had the perseverance to study hard. She went to a girls' high school, university, and after graduation, she went to work at a newspaper in Taipei.

Working at the newspaper allowed her to come into contact with people from all walks of life and gave her the opportunity to display her talents. The Wu family paved her way to success, and she became the editor-in-chief of the newspaper. She used her connections to recruit writers who focused on writing about love and started her own small magazine. Most magazines nowadays are about current affairs, history, and entertainment. Fiction magazines are despised by many people but loved by ladies and young ladies. The sales volume is not enough to make a fortune, but it brings Wu Fengyue many connections and news.

Wu Fengyue finally got the attention of her parents and the admiration of her siblings, but now it is only a small part of her life and it is just icing on the cake.

Chang Yusheng took Wu Fengyue as his fourth concubine because of her connections and abilities. This is also the reason why she lived alone in the Chang Mansion in Taipei City despite being the fourth concubine.

Most of the 70% of the Wu family's income, the one thousand dollars that Zhang Shouyi asked for this time, went into Wu Fengyue's pocket, but the Wu family always thought it was a gift from Deputy Commander Chang.

Zhou Leng stayed here for two days, and after careful contact she slowly relaxed.

Now the bank can allow Zhang Shouhe to get the money quickly.

Although the thousand dollars would not cause the Zhang family to suffer heavy losses, the eldest wife was unwilling to pay for the rescue, but she also did not want to break up with the family. She said to Mr. Zhang behind his back, "Should we talk to the Wu family again? Commander Chang is such a high-ranking official. It is not easy to save someone. I am afraid that all this money will go into the pocket of the third girl of the Wu family."

Mr. Zhang usually treated his wife with respect, but at this moment he scolded her with a frown: "Don't say that again, especially in front of the fourth son's wife. Commander Chang is such a person, and the fourth wife Wu is flattering us by accepting our money. Now that you have a place to spend your money, you should be grateful."

The eldest wife of the Zhang family turned pale and red in the face, and she was shocked and embarrassed.

The money was transferred from Zhou Leng's hand to Wu Fengyue's. Zhou Leng watched Third Aunt calmly make a phone call, then turned to her and said, "Go downstairs and tell Shouhe to go directly to the prison tomorrow to find a man named Bao Ge. Someone will take him to pick up the person."

"Third aunt, you are truly a heroine, and you are as good as any man."

Wu Fengyue looked at Zhou Leng with complicated eyes. She seemed to have something to say but after thinking for a moment, she stopped talking.

"Third aunt?"

"Some things are not the right time yet. Let's talk about it in two years. I bought you a dress and customized a cheongsam. You can take them away later."

"Thank you, Third Aunt."

Zhou Leng took the things and went to the prison with Zhang Shouhe the next day to find the man named Bao Ge.

The two were nervous, but things went surprisingly smoothly. Zhang Shouyi was changed into clean clothes, and although there were still bruises on his face, it looked like it had been cleaned.

"Fourth brother, fourth sister-in-law."

Zhang Shouyi was obviously different from when they got married. Although his eyes were still clear and firm, he lowered his head and drooped his shoulders after he finished speaking. He no longer seemed as high-spirited and motivated as before.

"Shouyi, my fourth sister-in-law and I will take you home."

"Ah."

The two of them called a yellow and white car and took Zhang Shouyi back to the hotel.

Zhang Shouhe examined his brother's body. Although his body was not covered with bruises, there were bruises and scabs on his body.

Zhang Shouyi's hands trembled slightly. He lowered his head and said, "I heard from that person that the fourth wife of the Wu family had given orders, so I didn't get beaten afterwards. But my classmates, those classmates can't hold on any longer. Fourth brother, I want to save them!"

Zhang Shouhe said gently, "It cost your family a thousand dollars to save you. If you want to save your classmate, first you need to have money, and second you need to find someone who will pay to save you. This time it was your fourth sister-in-law who came to ask your third aunt to save you. Think about it carefully."

"Fourth brother!"

"One should take care of the snow in front of his own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs."

Zhang Shouyi's face was pale, he gritted his teeth and shed tears.

The next morning, the three of them boarded the train back to the county town and asked for leave from school. After such a big thing happened, they had to go home.

The Zhang family also received the telegram and started preparing early.

Zhang Shouyi had already changed into the clean new clothes prepared by his fourth brother. Now that he had arrived at the doorstep, the second wife of the Zhang family pulled him into a brand new gown and stepped over the brazier placed at the gate.

Someone shouted: "Burn off the bad luck and cut off the disaster."

Zhang Shouhe saw that many people were watching, and noticed that there was a light blue color under Zhou Leng's eyes. He whispered a few words to the eldest wife, then walked forward, took Zhou Leng's hand and returned to their own courtyard.

The two of them seldom had intimate contact after their marriage, and most of the time they were just getting to know each other. Now, they were walking side by side, holding hands intimately. Zhang Shouhe felt the warm hands and soft touch in his hands, and he only felt his heartbeat slow down, his breathing sluggish, his ears turned red and hot, and he didn't dare to look at Zhou Lengchu.

"There are a lot of people here now. I see you are tired. Go back and lie down for a while. You still have a lot to endure in the evening."

Zhou Leng hummed lightly and did not withdraw her hand. She was always ready to communicate with the other party in a friendly manner. After all, they were husband and wife. What if she insisted on remaining chaste and the mission object was not satisfied? She wanted to see the consequences of obeying her father's orders.

The two of them returned to the room quietly.

Zhang Shouyi at the door stepped over the brazier and entered his mother's yard. Someone came forward with a pair of scissors and cut off the hair on the back of his head.

"Cut off the trivialities, and everything will go smoothly in the future, with peace and joy."

A red rope was tied around Zhang Shouyi's wrist.

"If there is a disaster, the broken rope can stop it."

The ceremony was over, the crowd dispersed, and only the Second Wife and Mr. Zhang were left in the house.

"Tell me the whole story honestly."

Zhang Shouyi looked at his father's blue face and his mother's red eyes from crying. Even though he felt that he was not wrong, he still told them everything.

When Mr. Zhang heard his son talking about equality, freedom, equal distribution of land and an end to the civil war, he almost fainted.

"Just study your books well. If you can save a few lives in the future, you will be doing a great deed. But you are still concerned about the civil war among warlords. You must have been kicked in the head by a donkey..."

Zhang Shouyi lowered his head, hearing his father's hysterical roar, and he felt sad. If everyone was like his father who only cared about himself, and if everyone was like Mrs. Wu who abused power to make money, then the country would be gone and the family would be gone.
