Li Qiang's moody interrogation attitude has always been unpredictable. After he threw the money on the table, his subordinates released the little boy and let him return to Ma Hui's arms. This behavior did not let Zhou Xu Couples feel relieved, but more stressed.

"Whoa!"

Li Qiang pulled out the pistol from his waist, pulled the sleeve skillfully, and pointed the muzzle at the Zhou Xu family of three, the corners of his mouth raised slightly: "Did you hear the crisp loading sound? Next, I just need to gently move my finger. , you can turn your family of three into a pile of rotten meat! The power of firearms, you have seen it!"

"Hoohoo!"

The three members of Zhou Xu's family were short of breath and hugged tightly. Although the temperature in the house was cold, cold sweat was streaming down the faces of the three members of the family.

"Life and death, poverty and wealth, in my opinion, it's not a difficult choice to make!" Li Qiang put the gun next to the stack of money on the table: "Now, I'll give you the chance to choose!"

Under the enormous psychological pressure, Ma Hui's spirit was about to collapse, and she looked up at Li Qiang blankly: "Sir! If I say something to you, you can guarantee that we will live, and really give the money to us. Us?"

Zhou Xu heard Ma Hui's question, and suddenly roared: "Ma Hui! What the **** are you doing! Are you crazy?! We don't know anything! What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Bang!"

The plainclothes next to him saw Zhou Xu's excitement and kicked him to the ground, and then he was about to throw a fist at him.

Seeing the action of the plainclothes, Ma Hui shouted at Li Qiang: "Don't fight! Stop fighting! If you want me to say something! Don't touch my family again!"

"Shut him up!" Li Qiang asked his subordinates to cover Zhou Xu's mouth with a quilt, and smiled at Ma Hui in his muffled voice: "I can assure you, as long as you tell me what I want to know Say it, all the conditions I have just now count!"

"I really don't know where Ning Zhe went, but he came to me before he left! Let me hand over the factory's duty watch to the guard post on a regular basis. As a reward, he will give me daily rations!" Hui looked at the cash and pistol on the table, and answered blankly.

At this moment, even Ma Hui did not know whether she chose to compromise, whether it was because of fear of death or because of the temptation of profit, but she knew very well that what Li Qiang just said was right. With this money, their family, It is absolutely possible to spend this winter easily. Ma Hui does not understand why Zhou Xu would choose to sacrifice his family's life to save Ning Zhe. She only knows that if they can get the money, they can leave this pigpen. The same shack, buy an adobe or even brick house, you can light a brazier when it's cold, and you can fill your stomach when you're hungry.

Li Qiang saw that Ma Hui had already started answering his questions, so he did not rush to ask, but calmed down his tone and restrained his sharpness: "Think about it again, what did Ning Zhe tell you besides these?"

"He told me that if you encounter any problems, you can go to the burial mound in the east of the market town to find him when the sun goes down, and someone will answer me!" Ma Hui had already chosen to cooperate, so she did not continue to hide: "Ning Zhe only I told me so much, but I didn't tell me who the person I met!"

Hearing Ma Hui's response, Li Qiang turned off the gun safety and put it away: "You should know what will happen to cheating me, right?"

Ma Hui shook her head without hesitation, and said very seriously: "Sir! I absolutely dare not lie to you! You have also seen the situation in my family. If we leave the market town, we will not be able to live at all! So I know the price of lying!"

Li Qiang glanced at the mechanical watch on his wrist and thought for a moment: "Before the bell rings at four o'clock tomorrow afternoon, you go to the grocery store at Dongchengmen, and my people will pretend to ask you for directions. , you go to the mass graves and meet them according to the way Ning Zhe told you!"

After listening to Li Qiang's words, Ma Hui nodded hurriedly: "Sir, what should I say to him?"

"Whatever, you can say something about what happened recently in the neighborhood, or you can make up something. In short, don't be seen as flawed. Tonight, my people will be guarding around your house, don't think about running, or you will He died miserably!" Li Qiang dropped a sentence with cold eyes, and then took two of his men and left the dilapidated shack of Zhou Xu's house.

"Ma Hui! Why did you do this!" Zhou Xu lay on the ground, his eyes became dull, his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and he asked in a hoarse voice: "Over the years, Xiaozhe has helped us so much. Much! Why did you betray him?"

"Zhou Xu! You only think about how much others have helped you! Don't you ever think about how much I have paid for this family? Don't forget! I'm just a woman! I know how tired I am! I know I’m tired! I don’t ask you how much you can contribute to this family! I just want the three of us to live in peace and stability! I can endure grievances and hardships to guard this family! I can endure the ridicule of others and guard you Disabled life! But you want me to protect Ning Zhe with my life, sorry! I can't do it!" Ma Hui's tone was equally flat, picking up the banknotes scattered on the ground expressionlessly: "The refugees want to live, they themselves It's hard, I don't mind helping others, but this kind of help must be based on our ability! You can also see that on this street, the conditions of our family are the worst! Since I married With you~lightnovelpub.net~ I can choose to accompany you to endure hardship! But I can't let our child continue to suffer! I just want to seize a chance and give him a good life! I don't ask him to live Like someone, I just hope he doesn't have to struggle on the brink of starvation every day! I don't want to die, and I don't think it's a mistake to want to live!"

Zhou Xu heard Ma Hui's words and looked down at his empty legs. He was speechless for a long time. The child on the side was covering the wound on his arm. He hadn't recovered from the fright just now. The atmosphere made him dare not speak.

Zhou Xu felt that he was right. Ning Zhe had helped him for so many years and extended a helping hand to him countless times. Even if he could not repay anything, he could not harm Ning Zhe.

Ma Hui also felt that she was right, she just didn't want to see her husband and son die, she just wanted to seize an opportunity to live and make her family live better.

Since they all think they are right, who is wrong?

Maybe none of them are right. As Ning Zhe said to Lin Xun, in this era, if you want to be a good person, you have to endure the backlash brought by kindness, and you have to pay for it.

Zhou Xu died, quietly.

He chose to hang himself on the support of the shack with a hemp rope in the middle of the night. Because he had no legs, it was very difficult for him to hang himself, and the death was very funny.

He couldn't accept Ma Hui's betrayal to Ning Zhe, he couldn't face his heart, he didn't want to be a drag on his family, he didn't want his wife and children to be ridiculed for having a disabled husband and father, and he was even more afraid of hearing others say he was a bad guy in the future. Ungrateful scum.

Until he was about to die, Zhou Xu felt that he had figured out one thing, maybe none of them were right, but wrong, it should be this era. ?
