My Beloved Super Fierce Wife-Chapter 246 An Eye for an Eye
Chapter 246: 246 An Eye for an Eye
Seeing Zhang Hongyan standing there, he hurried his steps.
"Wife, why are you not heading home? What are you doing standing here?"
Zhang Hongyan snapped back to reality, tugging at the corner of her mouth, "Nothing, just had a bit of a leg cramp."
"Leg cramp?"
Lin Shou’s heart tightened upon hearing this, and he bent down uneasily to massage her leg.
After pressing a few times, he looked up and asked, "Is it here? Does it feel any better?"
The tall man squatted halfway, a small knot forming between his brows, his face full of anxious concern.
Zhang Hongyan helped him up, her eyes welling up, "It’s fine now."
Lin Shou, seeing that her face didn’t look strained, stood up.
"How did you suddenly get a leg cramp..."
As he spoke, Lin Shou turned his back to Zhang Hongyan, squatting halfway and patting his shoulder.
"Get on, I’ll carry you back."
This sight was no different from when they first got married, except that they had aged.
Time had flown by, and twenty-something years had passed.
Perhaps it was because the moonlight was too beautiful, the surroundings too quiet.
Zhang Hongyan didn’t hesitate and lay directly on Lin Shou’s back.
Her voice was laced with laughter.
"...Sure! I might as well enjoy a few more carries while you still can, in a few years you might not even have the strength to lift me."
This would have been too embarrassing for her to do in daylight.
At night, however, anything goes with her own husband.
Lin Shou replied with a laugh, "As long as you’re not embarrassed, even when I’m eighty I’ll be able to carry you."
He too recalled their wedding days.
His wife was someone he had set his heart on, and although she had her flaws, who was perfect?
Compared to others in the village, she was quite good.
Especially since ’making peace’ with their daughter, their home had been getting better and better.
The journey home took less than ten minutes.
At the doorstep, Lin Shou put down Zhang Hongyan,
"Wife, there’s hot water in the pot, go wash up and soak your feet. I’ll go check on the pigs in the backyard first."
He wouldn’t be at ease without checking before bed.
Zhang Hongyan smiled, "Go ahead."
In the countryside, there wasn’t much entertainment, and villagers usually went to bed early.
By nine o’clock, the village had plunged into silence.
After Lin Shou had fallen asleep, Zhang Hongyan took a shiny, sharp pair of scissors from her waist and left the house.
As she left, she pushed the family’s broken cart.
The cart had one large wheel and was made of wooden planks covered with dust and small stones.
Just as she stepped out.
Zhang Hongyan felt she was missing something,
She put down the cart, went back to get a torn plastic cover used for firewood, and left home again.
At night, the outside was dark and quiet.
Occasionally, there were a few croaks of frogs and chirps of crickets.
The stars and moon in the sky emitted a bright light, illuminating the country path.
Nearing the village entrance, Zhang Hongyan hid the pushcart in the roadside bushes before heading toward Mao Laizi.
Mao Laizi, who was bitten all over by mosquitoes, had been waiting impatiently, a fire burning in his chest.
When he finally saw Zhang Hongyan, his eyes lit up.
"Hongyan sister, you’ve finally arrived, I was almost too anxious to wait."
"Where’s the money?"
"It had better not be short, or my legs will uncontrollably want to head to the Chemical Factory in the county..."
Greed filled his eyes, and he had already thought about how to spend the money.
First, a good meal of meat! Then, buy a pack of sweets.
The rubber shoes at the supply and marketing cooperative seemed nice, he had never worn such before...
As for the money not being enough? That was out of the question.
He had a hold over Zhang Hongyan.
She had no choice but to listen to him.
Grasping the scissors tucked at her waist, Zhang Hongyan’s hand clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.
"It will certainly not be short..." she took out several large bills and handed them to Mao Laizi.
There must have been at least twenty yuan.
Mao Laizi’s eyes reddened at the sight of so much money.
Greedily snatched the money and happily started counting it.
While he was not paying attention, Zhang Hongyan pulled out the scissors from her waist and stabbed Mao Laizi in the abdomen.
Pu——
The sound of scissors piercing flesh.
Mao Laizi hadn’t snapped out of the joy of his windfall when a sharp pain came from his abdomen.
"Ah..."
He let out a cry of pain and stared blankly at his wound.
Zhang Hongyan pulled out the scissors without any expression, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Mao Laizi, you certainly don’t know, I’ve wanted to stab you several times for over twenty years, and I should thank you for fulfilling my wish..."
"Did you enjoy bullying my sister back then?"
"You owe my family a life, and you even dare to threaten me..."
Mao Laizi’s body shook, holding his injury.
His hand quickly felt sticky.
Fearfully, he staggered back a few steps, distancing himself from the blood-stained Zhang Hongyan.
It felt as if all his blood had coagulated.
There wasn’t an ounce of strength in his body.
"...I, others know I came to find you, do you really dare to kill me?" he blustered with a pretense of toughness.
But inside, he regretted this visit.
This person was crazy!
Zhang Hongyan scoffed.
She stepped forward and stabbed down with the scissors again.
Mao Laizi tried to dodge, but he had no strength left from hunger; he was still stabbed.
"Ah!! It hurts..." he cried out.
Zhang Hongyan took the clean hand to grab the money back from Mao Laizi and carefully placed it back in her pocket.
This was her daughter’s hard-earned money; how could she let this disgusting man defile it?
After securing the money, Zhang Hongyan kicked the injured area of Mao Laizi.
"You dare cry out in pain? Didn’t my sister hurt back then?"
"When you bullied my sister, did she beg you? Did you spare her?"
After asking, she stabbed with the scissors again.
"You certainly weren’t merciful! How could you, an old beast, possibly spare my sister?
She was just seventeen years old, old beast; why don’t you go to die..."
Pu!
Another thrust of the scissors.
"You even bragged about it to those hooligans as if it were an achievement. How can there be someone as disgusting as you in this world!
You weren’t satisfied with just bullying my sister; you even incited the village hooligans to bully me!"
"Did you think I’d be unprepared after what happened to my sister?"
Upon saying this, Zhang Hongyan let out a laugh, as if exhaling.
"...When the old ruffian tried to bully me, I killed him with a hoe..."
She used all her strength to smash his head, creating a large hole.
The blood, it flowed down his forehead and covered his face.
The dead man bled out, right in front of her eyes.
After it was done, she dragged the body into the mountains and threw it away; alive, he was seen, but dead, he left no trace.
After that, no hooligan in the village dared to mess with her again.
Mao Laizi was still holding on to consciousness.
But upon hearing this, he realized he was done for and finally fainted.
Zhang Hongyan came to her senses, feeling the stickiness on one hand.
Her face instantly turned pale.
She quickly washed her hands, got the cart over, and laid out the rotten plastic.
With great effort, she dragged Mao Laizi onto the cart.
Pushed the cart to a ditch.
Threw him in.
She even burned the plastic with a fire.
In the dark night, it was pitch-black and the wind was high.
A fire illuminated the woman’s expressionless face, a bit eerie.
"An eye for an eye."
"You shouldn’t have threatened me, nor should you have had designs on my daughter; my whole life has been hard enough, Xiaojing... no one’s going to get the chance to hurt her..."
When it was all dealt with, Zhang Hongyan pushed the cart back home.
