Chapter 1618 The Unconscious Rat
"Sister-in-law, what are you saying! She's our cash cow. If she dies, we'll be in big trouble. At that time, we won't even have any capital to make a comeback. I'm doing this for everyone's sake," Zhao Liu said.
What Zhao Liu said made sense. Wang Meng felt that she had been in the cellar for too long and wanted to go up and take a breather.
"Then don't take too much time! The village chief doesn't allow you to come and see Li Gui. We're doing you a favor now. Hurry up." With that, Wang Meng left the cellar.
Seeing Wang Meng leave, Zhao Liu immediately said to Zhao Ming, "Second Brother, you should go up and take a breather too. I'll just watch her finish the meal, then take the bowl and go back."
Zhao Ming looked at Li Gui and then at Zhao Liu before following behind Wang Meng. After that, there was only Zhao Liu and Li Gui left in the cellar. Zhao Liu even pulled the cellar door halfway shut, worried that he would be seen.
"You must be starving. Eat something!" Zhao Liu placed the food in front of Li Gui.
Li Gui did not need to take a look to know that the food came from her factory. She could recognize it from the smell. These people were really scheming. After robbing the factory, they were giving her the factory's stuff as if it was their own.
"Pfft!" Li Gui spat in disdain and kicked the bowl that Zhao Liu pushed over.
After Zhao Liu left, Wang Meng suddenly pointed towards the cellar and said, "Hubby! Come and take a look at what's inside!"
All the food in the village had already been snatched away by the buyers of the seeds. When the rats could not find anything to eat, they also started to come out to look for food. Just now, the rats had eaten what Zhao Liu brought and they dropped to the ground after taking a few steps. Zhao Ming hurriedly went to the cellar to check if the rats were still alive. He touched them and could feel that their hearts were still beating.
"They just fainted. They're fine," Zhao Ming shouted towards the upper level.
"Throw the food away! Don't let that b*tch die! If that happens, the two of us won't be able to face the others!" Wang Meng shouted.
Zhao Ming cleared the food and put them aside like it was rat poison. After he checked that Li Gui was still tightly bound with the rope, he went up. The couple had planned to sleep at the cellar door tonight. Anyway, it was summer now and they would not freeze if they slept there.
"Don't tell me he wanted to do something to Li Gui just now?" Wang Meng said in shock.
"Lower your voice! Fortunately, you were smart enough to yell at him to come out just now. Otherwise, the two of us and the children would be doomed for the rest of our lives!" Zhao Ming lamented.
However, Wang Meng kept feeling like there was something wrong. If Zhao Liu had succeeded just now, would the outcome be even better than now?
