Chapter 1096: Today is 1 point better than yesterday
After hearing this, Liu Guiqiu immediately stopped screaming and crying.
She looked up blankly and saw that the man had a serious expression on his face.
Liu Guiqiu realized belatedly that the man was not joking but was seriously warning her.
Liu Guiqiu was terrified. She realized that if she cried again, the man would really cut off her tongue.
She didn’t know if she would die without her tongue, but she would definitely not be able to speak.
Liu Guiqiu didn't want to become mute, so she had to stop crying obediently.
However, his previous resistance was too intense, and the man was still afraid of something happening.
After much deliberation, he knocked the man unconscious and locked him in the basement.
In order to prevent Liu Guiqiu from escaping, he tied her up with a rope.
Liu Guiqiu was thrown to the ground like garbage, and then the man closed the door.
It was pitch dark in the basement, and after Liu Guiqiu was locked up here, there was almost no chance of him escaping.
When Zhong Wentao was first captured, there was still a possibility of rescuing him.
It's just a pity that he was unlucky and was captured at the wrong time.
A huge change happened in his family on the day he was arrested.
Dad was arrested, and mom was also arrested when she went to look for him.
My grandparents are now in hospital and can't take care of themselves, and my aunt hates him to the core.
Those who are willing to look for him have something bad happen to them, while those who don't want to look for him wish he was dead now.
When Zhong Wentao was first taken away, he was still in a nearby city. The traffickers made sure that there was no danger, so they took him away.
Having missed the best time for rescue, Zhong Wentao was destined to wander outside from then on.
The old man and the old woman were hospitalized for several days. When they came back, they found their house in a turmoil.
The son was arrested, and the daughter-in-law and grandson are missing.
At this time, they were still relatively optimistic and thought that Liu Guiqiu could not bear the shock of the sudden change in her family, so she took the child back to her parents' home.
The old couple are in poor health now, and their grandson is so active every day, making so much noise that it delays their rest.
Now that their grandson has finally been taken away, they can finally have a few days of peace and quiet.
During this period of time, Zhong Qingrou has hardly contacted her family.
She lives her life carefreely every day and doesn't care about the lives of others.
She goes to work and gets off work on time every day, and no one bothers her, making her feel happy and free.
However, as a bystander, Zhong Qingrou still found something wrong.
My sister-in-law's family is very patriarchal. Even if she was willing, her family would never allow her to take the child back for so many days.
What's more, Zhong Wentao is a troublesome person and will not behave himself no matter where he goes.
Such a person may not be too disliked at his grandmother's house because of the old lady's indulgence.
But if you go to your grandparents' house, don't expect to be so lucky.
There is no way that Liu Guiqiu's parents would indulge Zhong Wentao for so long.
In addition, my sister-in-law has lost her job now, and she is no longer of any use to her family.
How could such a person take her children back to her parents' home for a week?
Even if she was willing to go back, her family would not accept her.
But what caused them to disappear for so long? Did something happen to both of them?
Zhong Qingrou's heart tightened when she thought of this, but she quickly felt relieved.
This is all their retribution. Whether they live or die in the future has nothing to do with her.
If she meddles in other people's business again, she might end up getting herself in trouble again.
Having finally escaped from this cage, it is of course impossible to go back in.
Thinking this way, Zhong Qingrou decided not to worry about her mother's family affairs anymore.
She went to work peacefully every day and collected evidence for divorce.
Since she started collecting evidence, she suddenly found that doing these things was quite fun.
Prepare sufficient evidence and kill the person directly. There is no need to talk so much nonsense.
Cheng Jinnian has been very panicked recently. He has been back for vacation for more than a month, so why is his wife still so busy?
It seems that he will have to return to the army in more than 20 days, and the relationship between him and his wife has not yet been repaired.
Cheng Jinnian felt uneasy and always felt that he was no longer favored in this family.
After tidying up in the evening, Jiang Wan returned to his room and started writing again.
In the past, Cheng Jinnian didn’t have the heart to disturb him when he saw how busy he was, so he just took the children with him.
Now, because I was competing with myself, I walked in with a thick face.
He placed his large, rough hands lightly on Jiang Wan's shoulders, then squeezed them tenderly.
Cheng Jinnian's hands are very strong, but he controls the force very well.
Jiang Wan was tired after a long day and actually wanted to relax.
It’s just that there are too many things to do every day, so she can only stay tense.
Now Cheng Jinnian suddenly came in and gave her a massage, and Jiang Wan relaxed all at once.
Cheng Jinnian has strong hands, but he doesn't use brute force to rub her shoulders.
He used gentle force when massaging, and asked Jiang Wan how she felt from time to time.
"Wanwan, is this massage comfortable? Do you want to massage this place for a while longer?"
"It feels quite comfortable. Press the shoulders for a while longer."
While Jiang Wan was enjoying it with his eyes closed, he did not forget to think about the plot in his mind.
She found that people's minds are more active when they are relaxed. She was a little stuck before, but now she suddenly felt smoother.
It's a very refreshing feeling, just like a broken faucet that can't be turned on, but after it's fixed, water flows out.
"Am I using too much force? Does it hurt? If it hurts, tell me and I will adjust the force."
Cheng Jinnian asked gently again, and Jiang Wan adjusted the strength from time to time.
"You can pinch here harder, and pinch other places more gently."
Cheng Jinnian did as he was told and gave Jiang Wan a massage for half an hour.
He rubbed his sore fingers deliberately as he left, looking at her expectantly.
"Wanwan, since I behaved so well today, can you reward me with a hug?"
Jiang Wan saw that Cheng Jinnian was indeed working hard, so he stood up and hugged him.
Cheng Jinnian hugged her, kissed her gently on the forehead, and then left quietly.
When leaving, Cheng Jinnian secretly encouraged himself in his heart.
"Cheng Jinnian, well done, you succeeded in getting close to my wife today, keep up the good work next time."
Cheng Jinnian did not act hastily, but instead approached Jiang Wan using the boiling frog approach.
The next night he came over to give Jiang Wan a massage again. With his previous experience, he easily knew which areas to massage lightly and which areas to massage harder.
This time, even without Jiang Wan's reminder, Cheng Jinnian still massaged Jiang Wan very comfortably.
One area where he made progress compared to yesterday was that today he even massaged the head of Jiang Wan who had a headache.
Looking at the faint smile on her face after she relaxed, Cheng Jinnian knew that his efforts to get close to her during this period had been successful.
When he left, he hugged Jiang Wan for a minute, kissed her cheek, and gently stroked her back.
Jiang Wan's body stiffened slightly, but she did not push him away.
Cheng Jinnian knew that he had made a little more progress today than yesterday.
