Chapter 46 My Educated Youth Husband is Gone and Never to Return
The next morning, Zhao Guangming woke up shouting for help.
"Zhao Guangming, are you crazy? What are you yelling about?"
Zhu Daqiang was startled by Zhao Guangming's shout.
I woke up with a start.
When Zhao Guangming heard Zhu Daqiang's voice, he noticed that Zhu Daqiang had messy hair and was staring at him angrily.
Zhao Guangming was very familiar with this scene.
Zhu Daqiang always has this expression when he wakes up in the morning, and it doesn't return to normal until he's fully awake.
Zhao Guangming looked around and realized it was a youth educated youth compound. Hadn't he been arrested?
He thought he would be locked in some dark room with his hands and feet tied.
Was everything last night just a dream?
Zhao Guangming sat up, but his back ached and he collapsed again.
He hurts so much.
With this movement, Zhao Guangming felt pain all over his body.
Last night wasn't a dream; he really got beaten up.
Zhao Guangming looked at his arm; there were no marks. Huh, how come there are none?
He then endured the pain and looked at the rest of his body.
No, there were no signs of redness or swelling.
But the aches and pains in his body were real; he was in real pain.
Why? Why is this happening?
Zhu Daqiang had fully woken up and was watching Zhao Guangming pawing at him like a mad dog.
"This guy is really sick." Zhu Daqiang finished dressing and left the house.
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min went to work.
Neither Zhao Guangming nor Zhao Xiu came.
"Li Min, Zhu Daqiang, where are Zhao Guangming and Zhao Xiuren?"
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min were working in the field when the team leader came over.
"Captain, we don't know, and we haven't seen them."
"These two haven't come all morning, and they didn't ask for leave either. This is getting more and more outrageous."
The Zhao siblings didn't have a good impression on the brigade leader to begin with; they were always slow and sluggish in their work, earning pitifully few work points.
Now they're not even coming to work without asking for leave.
"Captain, Zhao Xiu caught a cold and developed a fever last night. She may still be feeling unwell today. She was still asleep when I left this morning."
Li Min explained Zhao Xiu's situation. Since the two shared a room, she still had to give an explanation when the brigade leader came to ask.
"Captain, Zhao Guangming was still in the house when I left, and he was already awake," Zhu Daqiang said, explaining what he knew.
"Zhao Xiu has a fever? How is she? Is Zhao Guangming sick too?"
The captain pressed for an answer.
"Captain, we're not entirely sure either. They came back very late yesterday, after we had already finished dinner."
Zhao Guangming walked in front, and Zhao Xiu walked behind. Zhao Xiu was soaked, so she went back to her room to change her clothes.
Later, when I returned to my room, I saw Zhao Xiu lying on the bed.
Zhao Guangming asked Zhao Xiu to cook for him.
It was discovered that Zhao Xiu had caught a cold and developed a fever.
Zhu Daqiang and I also asked Zhao Guangming to give Zhao Xiu some medicine, or take her to the hospital for a checkup.
But Zhao Guangming told us not to interfere.
If we want to take care of it, let us pay the medical expenses.
We went to sleep by ourselves.
This morning, Zhao Xiu looked fine; she was just still sleeping, so I didn't think much of it and went to work.
Li Min also recounted what happened last night.
"Captain, I was woken up this morning by Zhao Guangming. He was shouting and yelling, and that's when I woke up. I didn't hear what he was shouting."
Later, when I came to my senses, I saw Zhao Guangming twisting and turning on the bed, saying something impossible. I didn't know what he was doing.
Anyway, I didn't pay any attention to him, and I went to work with Li Min.
Zhu Daqiang also revealed what he knew.
"Then I'll trouble you to come with me to the educated youth settlement and see what's going on with those two."
Zhao Xiu was a girl, and she might even be bedridden, so the brigade leader, a grown man, couldn't see her directly.
So they called Li Min over.
However, Li Min was also a girl, and the brigade leader couldn't be alone with her, so he called Zhu Daqiang along as well.
Upon arriving at the educated youth compound, the brigade leader heard Zhao Guangming's voice.
"No way, no way! Who hit me? Who hit me?"
The captain entered Zhao Guangming's room and saw Zhao Guangming writhing on the bed like a pretzel.
There are still words in his mouth.
"Zhao Guangming, what are you doing?"
Zhao Guangming looked up and saw the captain.
"Captain, help me! Someone's hitting me!"
"It hurts so much! I feel like all the bones in my body are falling apart."
Zhao Guangming even endured the pain and lunged towards the captain.
The captain didn't react in time and was tackled to the ground by Zhao Guangming.
"Captain, someone is trying to harm me, you must save me."
"Get out of my way."
The captain was tackled to the ground. He was both anxious and angry. Zhao Guangming had gone too far.
He pushed Zhao Guangming off him.
Zhu Daqiang and Li Min were also surprised by this situation. They were both standing outside and didn't know how the captain suddenly collapsed to the ground.
Fortunately, the captain was standing relatively far inside; otherwise, he would have hit his head on the threshold after that fall.
Zhu Daqiang stepped forward and helped the captain up.
"Captain, are you alright?"
"My back is killing me!" The captain said, standing up while supporting his back.
The impact of being tackled and thrown like that was really strong.
The captain looked at Zhao Guangming on the ground, who was still crying out in pain and begging for help.
Who's really in pain? He's the one who should be taking the fall; he's the one who should be crying for help.
"Zhao Guangming, why didn't you go to work today?"
"Captain, I'm in so much pain, my whole body aches, I can't get up at all, how can I get out of bed?"
"You, you went to steal in the middle of the night? And came back covered in injuries?" The captain was even angrier and couldn't get up. How come he was so agile just now?
"Captain, I was kidnapped last night. Someone tied me up and beat me up. My whole body aches now."
"Who tied you up?"
"I don't know. When I woke up, I found myself tied up in a sack. I screamed for help, but no one paid any attention to me. They just kept hitting me and hitting me."
"You mean someone kidnapped you in the middle of the night, beat you up, and then brought you back?"
Zhao Guangming thought about it and agreed.
"Captain, yes, someone kidnapped me."
"Zhu Daqiang, you slept here all night, didn't you? Did you hear anything?"
"Captain, I didn't hear anything. Besides, if someone kidnapped Zhao Guangming, wouldn't it be the same to just leave him outside? Why bother sending him back?"
Furthermore, who is so capable as to enter the educated youth compound, enter our room, and quietly take Zhao Guangming out?
I think Zhao Guangming was having a nightmare and taking it as reality.
When Zhu Daqiang left home in the morning, he saw that the locks were all intact.
He didn't hear a sound last night. No matter what, Zhao Guangming is still a grown man. How could someone kidnap a grown man and send him back without making a sound?
The captain also thought Zhao Guangming was dreaming.
When the captain saw Zhao Guangming rolling on the ground clutching his arm, he went over and rolled up his sleeve. There wasn't a single red mark on his arm, yet he was still crying out in pain.
The captain looked at the rest of his body, but there was nothing there.
Zhao Guangming is still performing there.
The team leader thought this was just an excuse Zhao Guangming came up with to avoid going to work.
This excuse is full of holes and cannot be reconciled at all.
Now all I can do is give up and accept the pain.
