Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 417

Under the overwhelming rain, the surroundings were already pitch black.

Wu Dafu took the lead and walked in front, with Yao Zhuer's rustling footsteps following closely behind him. Wu Dafu felt a little itchy and actually felt that it was not so hard to travel on this rainy night.

"We live at the entrance of the village. We are one of the better-off families in this area. Look, the houses in this village are not only low, but when it rains, it rains heavily outside, and it rains inside. How can we live like this?"

Passing by the village, Wu Dafu pointed at the low thatched houses on both sides and proudly showed off his own brick house.

Yao Zhuer was grateful for his help in leading the way, so she echoed a few words, which made Wu Dafu even more proud. He wanted to turn around to see what was going on, but almost fell, so he didn't dare to look back.

Fortunately, the rain came quickly and suddenly, but it also went away quickly and soon disappeared.

At this time, Wu Dafu also stopped outside a separate yard. The bamboo fence was not high, and he could see at a glance that a light was on in the thatched house, with dim light shining through the crack in the door.

"Aunt, uncle, can you please open the door and see who is back?" Wu Dafu shouted into the house with joy in his tone.

The door to the main room opened, and Yao's father stood at the door looking out. He was holding an oil lamp, holding the flame with one hand for fear that it would be blown out.

"It's Dafu, why are you here?"

I couldn't see clearly who was coming, but there were two vague figures, one of whom must be Wu Dafu who had just spoken.

"Uncle, sister Zhu'er is back, please come and open the door, she is soaked, I'm afraid she will catch a cold."

Yao's father was startled and raised the lamp in his hand upwards, but after all, there was a small courtyard between them and he still couldn't see it.

"Who's back?" Yao's father asked loudly, very vigilantly, and did not come to open the door immediately.

When Yao Zhuer saw her father, she felt very aggrieved and suddenly burst into tears: "Daddy, it's my daughter. My daughter is back."

Her voice pierced through the darkness, passed through the small courtyard, and fell into the ears of Yao's father. Yao's mother in the house also heard it and hurried over, holding the door frame with one hand and looking out: "Zhu'er is back? How could it be?"

After a long time, he came over, opened the door and let them in.

It was not until they entered the door that they saw the man following behind them. Wu Dafu was shocked and pointed at him and yelled, "Who are you and when did you follow us?"

Sun Jifei glanced at him coldly, then turned to look at the terrified Father Yao: "I was entrusted by someone to send your daughter back. Now that I have handed her over to you, I have completed my mission. Goodbye!"

After saying that, he was about to turn around and leave. Yao Zhuer subconsciously pulled his sleeve. With just that little strength, Sun Jifei stopped. He turned around and looked at Yao Zhuer, asking her with his eyes what she meant.
Yao Zhuer quickly let go of her hand, then knelt down and saluted, saying: "Please wait a moment, benefactor. It's dark outside and the road is slippery. Why don't we..."

It would be better to stay for a night, but that didn't seem appropriate. After all, she didn't know what her fate would be.

Father Yao said at the side: "Sir, please stay. Who rescued our Zhu'er? Will there be no trouble in the future?"

Sun Jifei cupped his hands and said, "I am just delivering the gift, I don't know anything else."

Father Yao looked at Yao Zhuer, who was leaning against her mother and crying. He asked irritably, "Zhuer, how did you get out? What was the explanation when you were released? Will our family be implicated?" "Daddy, I don't know either. I was just released suddenly." Yao Zhuer stood up straight, wiped her tears and said, "I don't know who saved me or why!"

When asked about the fact that she didn't know anything, Yao's father got angry. He frowned and looked at his daughter, scolding her in dissatisfaction: "You have been an official's wife for so long, but you are still so useless and know nothing. How dare you come here in such a muddle? Aren't you afraid of bringing bad luck to us?"

Yao's mother couldn't bear it and hurriedly advised: "It's a good thing that my daughter is back. Don't be angry. If there is anything, we can discuss it slowly."

"Humph, what are you discussing? You ignorant woman, who knows if someone wants to use her to find our residence and then capture us all in one fell swoop?"

"This"

Yao's mother was a little scared for a moment, and looked at her daughter hesitantly: "You really don't know how you got out?"

Yao Zhuer shook her head, but she felt very sad. Until now, her parents have been asking her why she was able to come out, but they have never asked her if she was hurt, suffered, or was bullied.

The room suddenly became quiet. Even Wu Dafu, who had lustful thoughts, gave up the idea of ​​wanting Yao Zhuer and thought about waiting and seeing what happened.

There is not a trace of concern, not even a hint of falseness.

Sun Jifei stood silently in the corner looking at Yao Zhuer, feeling a little sad for her.

Sun Jifei has a trait that he can always hide himself. It seems that as long as he doesn't let others find out, others can easily ignore him. But once he moves, he feels as sharp as a blade being unsheathed, and people dare not touch his edge.

Yao Zhuer was a little embarrassed and asked, "Where are my brother and sister-in-law?"

Yao's mother was about to speak when she was stopped by Yao's father. He signaled with his eyes that there were outsiders, of course, besides Sun Jifei, there was also Wu Dafu.

"They don't live here!" Yao's father perfunctorily answered, and then looked at Yao Zhu'er: "What are your plans for the future?"

Yao Zhuer was stunned. What was her plan? How could she be a successful person? From childhood to adulthood, hadn't her father and mother arranged everything for her?

Seeing her surprise, Yao's father said, "You are a married daughter. Now your husband's family is in trouble. Logically, you should go to your husband's family to take care of their affairs. We are also incapable and cannot help you, but we will not cause you any trouble. You have seen us, we are fine, you can go back now!"

"Where should I go back to?" Yao Zhuer asked foolishly.

Father Yao turned around, with his back to his daughter, not daring to look at her tearful eyes: "You have to find a way out for yourself. As a father, I have no choice but to protect myself. Your brother and sister-in-law don't dare to live with us, and you too, go out and live on your own!"

Wu Dafu suddenly said, "How about, sister Zhu'er come back with me and live in our house. Tell others that she is mine and that I bought her."

Both Yao's father and mother glared at him, and Yao's mother blurted out: "What do you mean by bought? You want her to sell herself to you?"

In the past, even if she became his legal wife, it would have been unfair to Yao Zhuer. But now, Wu Dafu wants to take advantage of the situation and get her back without spending a penny, but he is unwilling to even give her a legal status.

Wu Dafu spread his hands and said, "What else can I do? After all, she is the wife of a criminal. Can I marry her with three matchmakers and six betrothals? You can't keep her by your side. If you really let her go out alone, won't that be a dead end?"

"This is not a bad idea. After all, Zhu'er has been married before, and Dafu is not bad either. We are all relatives, so we won't make things too difficult for her." Yao's father actually agreed.
