Miao Xiaohua looked into Chen Mingliang's crazed eyes. She knew it was real.
He really wouldn't let her go.
No matter where she went or what she did, Chen Mingliang would not let her go.
No one knew what Miao Xiaohua was thinking in that moment.
"I'm not leaving."
At these words, everyone stared at Miao Xiaohua in shock.
"Chen Mingliang, I'm not leaving."
Before the onlookers could figure out what was happening, Miao Xiaohua had already helped Chen Mingliang up and, without a word, returned to the dilapidated home they shared.
Village Chief Sun Dazhuang and the few people with him exchanged glances. Just moments ago, it had been a matter of life and death, and now everything was suddenly calm.
"Chen, keep an eye on them for the next few days. Don't let anyone get killed. It won't be good for any of us if that happens."
The village chief's warning made Chen Mingliang's father nod seriously. He understood the reasoning.
