C1 (1/2)

My name is Wu Lei, after working in the city for many years, I still haven't been able to get anything out of it.

I was a technician, and I always did things in a straight line, because I couldn't bear to see my boss cut back on the quality of his products, so I made a scene with him and got fired.

Now that I had lost my job and was in a bad mood, I had the idea of going back to my hometown for a while.

My hometown is in the mountain village, that place is still frighteningly poor. This poverty was not only material, but also spiritual.

When I got home, it was already afternoon. The village was very lively with lanterns and decorations. I was very hungry and curious, so I asked my father what was going on.

He told me that Zhao Wu's family was having a wedding and that his son was getting married.

I was stunned when I heard this. Zhao Wu was a nouveau riche with a rich family, but his son Zhao Quan'er was a sickly person who relied on medicine to feed him. Which girl was so blind to want to marry him?

My father secretly told me that Zhao Quan'er was on the verge of death, and that the reason she married him was to make him happy.

His new daughter-in-law was a foreigner. She had already been confined in the Zhao Family for more than a month and had never left her home. Rumors had spread outside that she had bought her.

When I heard this, I got angry. I said that this was a trafficking in human beings, and it was against the law. I'm going to the police.

My father jumped and told me not to go.

He told me that this was an autonomous county, and that the county governor was the brother of Zhao Wu's family. If this matter gets out of hand, our family will be the one to get into trouble.

I was furious and cursed the Zhao family for being nothing.

My father told me to mind my own business, and then he told me to come to the Zhao family in the evening to join him.

I said I would not go, my father said our family still owes money to the Zhao family, not to go.

In the evening, I summoned up my courage and went to the Zhao Family. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Zhao Quan'er being carried out.

The boy's face was deathly pale. He didn't even look like a living person anymore.

Startled, I asked what was going on. Someone told me that Zhao Quan'er was dying and had been sent straight to the hospital.

I said in my heart that he deserved the death of his family.

However, I had to pay them back, so I entered the Zhao family with hatred.

At this moment, the Zhao Family was in a state of chaos. I couldn't find the account room, so when I was about to go around, I bumped into a woman.

The woman was at most in her twenties. She looked very pretty, but her expression was one of panic.

I was shocked and only later did I find out that her name was Soo Soo.

I was angry from the start, but when I saw Soo Soo's pitiful appearance, my heart warmed up. Thus, while no one was around, I secretly brought her back home.

My father was startled to see me bring someone back and asked me what was going on.

I told him I was going to get him out.

My father was so shocked that he almost exploded. He told me to send him back as soon as possible. The Zhao family cannot afford to offend him.

I won't listen. I'm sure I can save this person.

Soo Soo was greatly frightened. After escaping from the Zhao family, she relied on me and followed me closely through the night.

She hid in our house for a few days in a row, and during these few days, my feelings towards Soo Soo subtly changed.

I don't know if it was because of her pitiful appearance that aroused my desire to protect her, but I felt that I was beginning to like her a little.

My father scolded, saying that sooner or later the Zhao Family would find out, and our family would definitely suffer.

I also knew that I could not keep Soo Soo here forever. Thus, I told her that I would find a friend in the county and send her out as soon as possible. I wanted her to wait for me at home.

Soo Soo trusted me very much and wanted me to return quickly.

When we arrived at the county town, I didn't call the police. Instead, I rented a car and told him to wait for me in the county town after we agreed on the price.

This was already two days later.

When I returned to the village at night, I saw that a white banner had been placed at the entrance of the village. It was something that only the dead could use.

Someone told me that it was Zhao Quan'er. He went to the hospital but couldn't rescue her.

When the funeral was over, the Zhao Family would be free to take care of the matter of my new daughter-in-law being lost.

I rushed home and saw that Soo Soo had already disappeared. My father was sitting on the brick bed, eating noodles and drinking wine.

My heart skipped a beat as I asked my father, Soo Soo.

My father was a little drunk and told me with a smile that he had sold Soo Soo back to the Zhao family.

The Zhao family not only forgave our family's debt, but also gave my father thirty thousand yuan.

When I heard this, my lungs almost burst from anger. Pointing to my father's nose, I asked, ”Do you know that Zhao Quan'er is already dead? I wonder how Zhao Wu will face Soo Soo.”

My dad chuckled and said he knew. Yesterday, the Zhao Family had made a marriage alliance. Even below, Soo Soo and Zhao Quan'er were still a couple.
