Chapter 114 Heartbeat Like a Drum

Du Ziteng immediately retorted, refusing to admit he was afraid of being dealt with by Zhang Liunian.

But who would have thought that instead of being dealt with, there were many benefits. “Following Brother Liunian, watches, money, it’s all like picking things up. Anyone who doesn’t want to be his little brother is a fool.”

Du Zhan saw his son trying to save face and didn’t expose him. He smiled at his son, but in his heart, he couldn’t help but sigh. They say you become like the people you associate with.

Seeing how his son had become sensible after only a few days with Zhang Liunian, he knew sending his son to him was the right decision.

He hoped that in the future, his son would follow Zhang Liunian and not cause trouble or end up in jail again.

“Follow him closely, help him with his affairs, and don’t do anything that would betray him. If he tells you to go east, you go east. If you dare to disobey him, I’ll be the first to deal with you. Do you understand?”

“Old man, you’re really selling your son.” Du Ziteng rolled his eyes, thinking who his real son was.

“It’s precisely because you are my son that I’m packing you up and sending you to Comrade Zhang Liunian.

After interacting with him these past few days, haven’t you seen his capabilities?”

Every time his son returned home these days, Du Zhan would ask about Zhang Liunian’s actions.

The more he heard, the more astonished he became, and the more he secretly admired Zhang Liunian’s vision and abilities.

At the same time, he became increasingly convinced that Zhang Liunian was no ordinary person and would definitely not stop here in the future.

“Brother Liunian is amazing, but he wouldn’t rush to send his son to someone else’s father.

Fortunately, Brother Liunian is a man. If he were a woman, your son would be gone.”

“Gone is gone.” As long as you can live well, he would be comforted and ask for nothing else.

“…”

In fact, this kind of conversation between father and son was not only happening at Du Ziteng’s place, but also being staged at Zhang Hao’s home in Zhangjia Village.

This was mainly because they had seen their son get a coveted watch yesterday, and today they heard he had received a hundred yuan for free.

This made them admire Zhang Liunian’s generosity.

“Liunian is such a generous child. He single-handedly dealt with the robbers, and then he even split a hundred yuan with you. He’s truly willing to give.” Zhang Hao, after hearing about today’s events from his son, praised him profusely.

His words were agreed upon by the whole family, as only Zhang Liunian would give away a hundred yuan so readily.

Zhang Li looked enviously at the watch on his elder brother’s wrist and said, “If I had known following Brother Liunian brought so many benefits, I wouldn’t have gone shrimp catching and would have followed him.”

Hearing his brother’s envious voice, Zhang Qian proudly puffed out his chest, “I’m lucky.”

That’s why Brother Liunian noticed him, and his younger brother didn’t have his good luck.

“Hmph, after I work for a few months, I’ll also have money to buy a watch.” No man in this era disliked watches, and Zhang Li was no exception.

Looking at his elder brother’s demeanor, he secretly vowed to save money to buy a watch, a bicycle, and then upgrade from a bicycle to a motorcycle.

Zhang Hao and the others were naturally unaware of Zhang Li’s grand ambitions; they were still talking about Zhang Liunian.

“You brothers should help Liunian diligently. Once he becomes big and strong, our entire village will live a good life.” Zhang Hao suddenly remembered what Zhang Liunian had told him yesterday, and the corners of his mouth couldn’t help but stretch into a wide grin.

Zhang Li and Zhang Qian, hearing this, asked why he said that.

Zhang Hao just smiled mysteriously and didn’t answer.

After he went back inside to sleep, Zhang Li asked Zhang Qian, “Brother, why did Dad say that? Do you know something?”

Zhang Qian shook his head, “I haven’t heard Brother Liunian say anything yet either?”

Seeing that he wasn’t lying, Zhang Li shook his head and returned to his room.

As soon as he left, Zhang Qian went to sleep, clutching the watch protectively.

On the other side, after talking with his elder brother, when Zhang Liunian returned home, his wife was fanning their sleeping daughter with her hand to drive away mosquitoes.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, Jiang Qingqing stopped her actions, turned around, and saw her husband had returned.

“How did it go?” Jiang Qingqing asked softly.

“I’ve spoken with Big Brother, and he’ll bring the things tomorrow morning before we leave,” Zhang Liunian replied. After that, he went outside to shower and returned to the room to change clothes.

“Will Big Brother be able to get it?” Jiang Qingqing asked again, seeing her husband close the bedroom door and walk over, supporting her head with one hand.

“Mom and Dad always live with Big Brother, so he must know where the household registration is. As long as Mom and Dad go out for a while, he’ll have time. You don’t need to worry.” Zhang Liunian casually took off his wet underwear, exposing himself directly to Jiang Qing’s sight.

“Ah!” Caught off guard by the glimpse, Jiang Qingqing’s face turned red and her heart pounded. She pulled the quilt to cover her face, daring not to look again.

Hearing the exclamation, Zhang Liunian stopped and looked at his wife on the bed. He saw she was facing away from him, revealing only a pair of red ears.

“Heh heh!” Zhang Liunian laughed, the sound flowing from his chest, rich and pleasant.

Hearing her husband’s laughter, Jiang Qingqing felt even more ashamed. She pulled the quilt tighter and disappeared beneath it, not even a wisp of hair showing.

Zhang Liunian put on his pants, slipped into the bed, and embraced her. He sniffed the fragrance of his wife’s body and said contentedly, “Qingqing, you smell so good.”

“Thump thump thump…” Jiang Qingqing’s heartbeat suddenly accelerated, making her want to find a hole in the ground to burrow into.

But there was no hole in the ground at this moment, only a strong chest. So, she desperately burrowed into Zhang Liunian’s embrace, pressing tightly against him.

With this closeness, Zhang Liunian immediately heard his wife’s drumming heartbeat. At first, he didn’t quite react, but when he did, his eyes instantly lit up, and the corners of his mouth turned up, “Why do I seem to hear drumming? Where is the drum sound?”

“Don’t say it, don’t.” I’m so embarrassed. How could he say that? He clearly knew it was her heartbeat, so why did he have to say it?

Unable to bear it, Jiang Qingqing raised her small fists and began to pound on Zhang Liunian’s chest.

Zhang Liunian caught the little hands causing trouble on his chest, brought them to his lips to kiss, then pulled them up, making him and his wife eye-to-eye and mouth-to-mouth.

“…” As their lips met, Jiang Qingqing froze. Afterward, she fumbled, trying to push him away, but a large hand firmly held her waist, forcing her into a position where she could neither advance nor retreat. To make matters worse, her mouth was blocked, preventing her from making any sound.

“Mmm…”

After a long while, Zhang Liunian contentedly released her, “So fragrant!”

Boom!

Jiang Qingqing, panting, heard these words. It was as if fireworks were booming in her ears, and her head spun. Her large, watery eyes gazed at Zhang Liunian’s handsome face, then moments later, she shyly turned her head, her eyelashes trembling lightly.

Her appearance was like that of a captivating enchantress, making Zhang Liunian’s blood rush downwards.

“Qingqing, I want you…” Zhang Liunian’s large hands moved up and down her body, and he murmured sweet nothings.

Jiang Qingqing thought it was over, but it turned out the previous actions were just an appetizer.
