After my stepmother was shot, I took my brothers to the countryside

Chapter 182 Zhang Fengfeng Returns Home

When Zhang Fengfeng came out of the alley, she had the idea of going to the police station to report the case.

But when she thought that Shi Shengxia would be like her, beaten up by those people and even stay out all night.

Would Zhou Jindong no longer like her after he found out? Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Fengfeng instantly gave up the idea of going to the police station.

Thinking back to what she had done before being arrested, Zhang Fengfeng completely gave up going to the police station. She was eager to return to Shuangxi Brigade as soon as possible to see with her own eyes how miserable Shen Nian was now.

On the way back to Shuangxi Brigade, Zhang Fengfeng deliberately chose a small road to avoid people, for fear of meeting acquaintances and being recognized.

When she was about to reach the brigade, Zhang Fengfeng felt panic again. What if she met Zhou Jindong in the brigade? How would she face him in her current miserable state?

After much deliberation, Zhang Fengfeng decided to find a place to hide and wait until it was completely dark before going home.

At this moment, Zhang Fengfeng seemed to have completely forgotten what was happening with Shi Shengxia, whom she had pointed out to the fat man and the other man.

As the sky gradually darkened, a bicycle came quickly towards her and then passed by quickly.

Was that Brother Jin Dong just now? What is he doing at this hour?

Zhang Fengfeng was startled and recognized that the figure that flashed by quickly was Zhou Jindong.

When she saw Zhou Jindong, Zhang Fengfeng suddenly remembered Shi Shengxia who might be being beaten right now.

She suddenly felt a mixture of emotions. She hadn't been home for a few days, and no one had come out to look for her. And Shi Shengxia had only been gone for half a day, yet Zhou Jindong had already hurriedly ridden out on his bike to look for her!

The sound of the bicycle gradually disappeared into the night. Only then did Zhang Fengfeng dare to come out from her hiding place. She bit her lower lip tightly, as if trying to suppress the resentment and anger that was about to burst out.

It was already completely dark, and Zhang Fengfeng sneaked into the brigade and moved towards her home.

Finally, she arrived at the gate of her own yard and tried to push it gently. The door opened. Zhang Fengfeng was delighted and quickly slipped in.

The courtyard was completely dark, and even her father's snoring could be heard from inside the house. Zhang Fengfeng tiptoed towards her room.

Feng Yaniang tossed and turned on Zhang Fengfeng's kang, unable to fall asleep.

Her heart was in turmoil. Ever since Feng Ya disappeared, she had been worried sick. She wanted to report it to the police, but she didn't dare to do so.

Her thoughts were so swirling that she didn't even notice the sound of Zhang Fengfeng quietly pushing open the courtyard door. When she turned over again, she happened to see a figure sneaking in through the door.

Feng Yaniang was frightened by the sudden figure and froze on the kang, not daring to move.

Zhang Fengfeng didn't know that her mother was sleeping on her kang. When she returned to her familiar room, her tense nerves finally relaxed.

She tiptoed to get the kerosene lamp from the kang cabinet. However, just as she approached the edge of the kang, Feng Ya Niang on the kang thought he was going to attack her, so she suddenly turned over and kicked Zhang Fengfeng to the ground without even being able to stand firmly.

"You...where did you come from, beggar? You came to my house to steal things!"

As Feng Yaniang spoke, she turned on the flashlight and shone it towards Zhang Fengfeng. She looked at her tattered clothes and felt that she looked a little familiar, but was then persuaded to retreat to the innermost part of the kang by the foul smell emanating from Zhang Fengfeng.

Zhang Fengfeng was already hungry, thirsty, and exhausted. When her mother kicked her to the ground, she was completely bewildered. "Mom? Why are you in my room?"

"What do you mean by 'your room'? This is my daughter's room... Are you Fengya?" Fengya's mother walked closer and looked at the person on the ground. "No wonder I said this dress looked familiar. I didn't even use any force, so how did you fall to the ground?"

It was no wonder that she didn't recognize her own daughter. The Feng Ya in front of her was completely different from before. Not only was she much thinner, her clothes were tattered, her hair was messy, and there was a disgusting smell on her body.

This made Feng Ya's mother hard to believe that this was her daughter. She looked puzzled and asked, "Feng Ya, what's wrong with you? Why do you look like this?"

Having said this, she hurriedly got off the kang with a distressed look on her face and wanted to help Zhang Fengfeng up. She wanted to use her sleeve to wipe the dirt off her face, but as she got close to Zhang Fengfeng, the smell became stronger and more pungent, and she couldn't help but step back.

Zhang Fengfeng watched her mother's actions, her nose sore, and she almost cried out. But she held back her tears and whispered, "Mom, I'm fine. It's just... I just ran into some trouble."

"What's the trouble? Tell me quickly, where have you been these days? I'm worried to death!" Feng Ya's mother asked anxiously.

Seeing her mother questioning her, Zhang Fengfeng knew she couldn't tell the truth, so she simply made up a story about how she was abducted by human traffickers and later escaped by luck.

She didn't dare tell the truth, she didn't trust her mother. Her mother was a big mouth, if Shengxia came back at this time, her mother discussed with other aunts and let the cat out of the bag, then her hope of marrying Zhou Jindong would be completely shattered.

At this moment, Zhang Fengfeng's stomach rumbled. She touched her stomach and looked at her mother: "Mom, I'm so hungry."

After hearing this, Feng Ya Niang felt both relieved and frightened. When she heard Zhang Feng Feng complaining about being hungry, she stopped asking and quickly said, "Rest in the house for a while. I'll boil some water for you to take a bath, and then make you a bowl of noodles."

After Feng Ya's mother finished speaking, she hurried out of the house and went to the kitchen to boil water. Not long after, she came back with a basin of hot water: "Feng Ya, I see that you have so many wounds on your body, it's not suitable for you to soak in water. How about you just wipe it off?"

"Mom, just pour the water into the basin for me, I will do it slowly." Zhang Fengfeng responded softly.

Seeing this, Feng Ya's mother had no choice but to agree with her. She carefully poured hot water into the wooden basin and added some cold water to adjust the temperature: "Then wash slowly. If you feel uncomfortable, call me and I will make noodles for you."

Zhang Fengfeng took off her clothes and slowly sat in the basin, letting the water soak her whole body. In fact, her body was mostly bruised, and there were not many wounds.

During the days she was locked up, those people often starved her, only gave her one meal a day, and beat her before letting her eat.

However, she couldn't help but feel fortunate that those people only starved her and beat her, and didn't do anything else excessive.

Then she secretly prayed in her heart: It would be great if they could do something extreme to Shi Shengxia! Then, would Zhou Jindong still want a slut?

Zhang Fengfeng gritted her teeth and vowed secretly that she would never go to the town again. That place was simply unlucky for her.

Feng Ya's mother came in with noodles and closed the door again. When she saw Zhang Fengfeng still sitting in the tub, she quickly called out, "Feng Ya, why are you still in the tub? Come out and eat noodles. Mommy also cooked two eggs for you."

Zhang Fengfeng responded by getting out of the basin, sitting on the kang and eating noodles in big mouthfuls. She groaned twice when the wound on her face was affected, then continued to eat noodles.

Feng Yaniang found the medicine that Zhang Fengfeng had used before and carefully applied it on her body.

While eating noodles, Zhang Fengfeng was still thinking about Shi Shengxia and Zhou Jindong. She didn't know how Shi Shengxia was doing, nor did she know if Zhou Jindong had found her.

But she really envied Shi Shengxia for being able to receive Zhou Jindong's care, and wanted to take all that care for herself.
