Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Can’t Step Forward

Liu Zheng had abruptly tumbled into his arms, and at this point, Zhao Cuihua truly had no way to escape.

The reason for this was entirely due to her own actions just a moment ago.

Now, a pair of black lace panties were caught on her knee, because she had been too rushed to pull them all the way up.

This was thoroughly embarrassing, and it left Liu Zheng with mixed feelings of laughter and consternation.

"Wait a sec!"

After steadying herself on Liu Zheng, Zhao Cuihua immediately reached down to pull the lace panties from around her knee.

Her actions were frantic, compelling Liu Zheng to hold back his amusement helplessly.

However, at that moment, a creaking sound came from overhead, clearly signaling the imminent collapse of the roof.

"We can’t stay, let’s get out of here."

Liu Zheng let out an alarmed cry, grabbed Zhao Cuihua who was still pulling up her panties, and the two of them rushed out of the dilapidated house in a fluster.

However, Zhao Cuihua’s hand also left her panties behind.

The issue was, in their haste, the panties hadn’t been fully pulled up and were still hanging between her thighs, nowhere near properly in place.

But meanwhile,

the house’s collapse didn’t wait for her to adjust.

With a thunderous roar, the entire ramshackle house crumbled down, the dust spreading all over the place in an instant.

The noise wasn’t small, immediately attracting the attention of the neighboring villagers, who ran out of their houses to see what the commotion was.

But that wasn’t the most important thing. The most embarrassing part for Liu Zheng and Zhao Cuihua was that, when the dust finally settled, everyone could see the two of them clearly.

"Holy smokes, what are you two doing here? How did you even manage to knock the house down?"

Someone in the crowd of villagers immediately questioned them.

In that instant, Liu Zheng and Zhao Cuihua were at a loss for words.

Embarrassed, so incredibly embarrassed!

The two of them had intended to have a private meeting, and Zhao Cuihua had even taken off her pants.

They had wanted to satisfy themselves, to enjoy a good time, for him to be the old bull grazing on tender grass.

But then,

who knows what happened.

The house just inexplicably collapsed.

And in such circumstances, they found themselves exposed before everyone’s eyes.

This was as embarrassing as it could possibly get.

Of course, since someone had asked, and with so many neighbors watching, not providing a reasonable explanation would definitely arouse suspicion.

Liu Zheng scratched his head, then his face adopted an expression of anger.

Instead of answering the question, he pointed at Zhao Cuihua, vexed, and loudly exclaimed, "Cui Hua, you really are too much trouble. Insisting on finding a pole that is both long and thick, I suggested searching in the woods, but no, you insisted it had to be perfectly straight and not at all flawed like a misshapen gourd."

He pointed at the pile of debris in front of them, his face filled with frustration as if chastising iron for not turning into steel.

"Look at what you’ve done now; you’ve even torn down the house, and here we have poles that are indeed long and thick."

As he spoke, he stamped his feet repeatedly, showing a deeply pained expression.

Hearing Liu Zheng say this, the neighbors at the scene all believed him.

The reason they believed Liu Zheng was firstly due to his status.

Secondly, it was because of Zhao Cuihua’s standing.

The third reason was that Liu Kai, that guy, had learned martial arts; who in the village would dare to lay a hand on his woman?

Because of these reasons, people had no doubt about what Liu Zheng said.

However, Zhao Cuihua, standing beside him, had a look of resentment in her eyes at that moment.

Others might not have understood Liu Zheng’s underlying mockery, but how could she possibly miss the double entendre in his words?

She had no way to refute, nor could she, and all she could do was listen silently.

With a sigh, Liu Zheng saw that everyone believed him and couldn’t help but find it amusing.

He turned his head to glance at Zhao Cui Hua by his side, then with a grin, Liu Zheng strode into the rubble and quickly hoisted out a very straight pillar.

The pillar wasn’t thick and looked to be less than two meters tall.

He had sized it up; this pillar was definitely something Zhao Cui Hua could carry home.

"Here you go, Sister Cui Hua, this pillar is for you. According to your requirements, this one should do."

As he spoke, Liu Zheng had already placed the pillar on Zhao Cui Hua’s shoulder.

Zhao Cui Hua felt like crying but had no tears to shed!

When did she ever ask for such a pillar?

But she had a grievance she couldn’t voice, and could only reluctantly shoulder the pillar, giving Liu Zheng a deep look before stepping toward her home.

Yet, she walked slowly and unsteadily, seeming to struggle a bit.

Watching her carry the pillar home alone, many people glanced at Liu Zheng with disdain.

What a guy, not even offering to escort her home.

Some men muttered, "Who knows how many would want to walk her home, and yet he doesn’t seize such a good opportunity. What a waste!"

Liu Zheng seemed as though he didn’t hear the people’s comments as he turned and sprinted towards his own home.

Of course, the people didn’t pay him much attention, as their gazes were fixated on Zhao Cui Hua, who was slowly making her way back.

Zhao Cui Hua now felt helpless, innocent, and desperate.

It wasn’t that she couldn’t carry the pillar, but that she couldn’t walk fast, nor too carelessly.

Because her black underwear had still not been pulled up and was trapped between her thighs.

If she walked too fast, it would easily fall down.

Thus, she had to adjust her stride and angle, then inch her way home.

Meanwhile, Liu Zheng had swiftly run back to his own house.

He was fast, and in the blink of an eye, he was already home.

As soon as he entered the yard, he encountered Wu Min.

Seeing him rush in flustered, Wu Min couldn’t help but be startled and quickly asked, "Little Zheng, what’s wrong with you?"

"Nothing, sister-in-law, I’m just covered in dust; I’ll go rinse off, okay?"

After speaking, Liu Zheng dashed into the house like a gust of wind.

Not long after, he had showered, changed into new clothes, and came out.

He picked up the carrying basket and placed it directly on the electric trike.

He was heading into the city to deliver medicinal herbs to Renxin Hall.

Liu Zheng had promised Qin Wan Ru and had always kept it in mind.

Owing a considerable sum of money, Liu Zheng did not want to let the debt linger too long.

After leaving the yard, Liu Zheng thought for a moment and decided to head to Liu Sumei’s home first.

The herbs he applied for Liu Sumei the day before, after such a long time, had likely lost their effect, so it was necessary to change them again.

Arriving at the entrance of Liu Sumei’s home, Liu Zheng got off his electric bike, took some herbs, and walked towards Liu Sumei’s house.

Before reaching the door, Liu Zheng heard the moans of a woman.

Hearing the moaning, Liu Zheng was taken aback.

He had an ominous feeling.

With the effects of yesterday’s herbs gone, although the major snake poison had been cleared, could the remaining venom have worsened the situation?

With that thought, Liu Zheng rushed into the house.
