Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 418

At this moment, Yao Zhuer was so frightened that she took several steps back and bumped into Sun Jifei.

Her shaking arms were steady by a warm hand, which gently pushed her away to let her stand steady, and then whispered, "Do you want to come with me?"

Yao Zhuer suddenly turned around and looked at Sun Jifei: "Are you willing to take me away?"

Sun Jifei looked down into Yao Zhuer's eyes and just nodded.

"Let's go, Dad is right, I can't let them get into trouble, I have to find a way to survive."

After saying this, Yao Zhuer knelt down and kowtowed to her father and mother respectively, which meant farewell.

As soon as Yao Zhuer stood up from the ground, Wu Dafu came over and blocked Yao Zhuer's way: "Your father has agreed that you can go home with me, how can you follow this wild man?"

Before Yao Zhuer could say anything, Sun Jifei raised his foot and kicked Wu Dafu, kicking him from the door to the wall, and then from the wall to the ground. After the dull sound of the fall, he cried like a ghost.

Yao's father and mother immediately went forward to check on Wu Dafu's condition. They now lived in Wujia Village and still had to rely on Wu Dafu's parents for help, so they couldn't afford to offend them. The Yao family was truly no longer what it used to be!

When they wanted to accuse Yao Zhuer and the man, they found that they had already left.

The carriage was at the entrance of the village not far from Wu Dafu's house. Because there was no lighting, Sun Jifei held Yao Zhuer's hand and walked step by step through the muddy path, through the middle of the village, and only let go of Yao Zhuer's hand when they arrived in front of the carriage.

Yao Zhuer's face was pale, but she stopped crying. She got into the carriage silently and sat down obediently.

Sun Jifei lit the lantern on the carriage and drove away from Wujia Village.

After moving into the room that had been booked earlier, Sun Jifei had someone prepare a hot water bath for Yao Zhuer, and asked the shopkeeper to get a set of his wife's half-new and half-old clothes for Yao Zhuer to change into.

After Yao Zhuer finished washing up, Sun Jifei brought a bowl of steaming noodles to Yao Zhuer.

Yao Zhuer didn't ask any more questions, just lowered her head and finished eating in silence.

"Aren't you afraid that I will sell you out?" Sun Jifei made a rare joke.

"Even my parents are planning to sell me off, so if you want to, go ahead and sell me off!"

Sun Jifei felt a little embarrassed. Apparently, this topic to adjust the atmosphere was not well started. After thinking about it, he gave up and said, "Have a good rest tonight. I will take you to see someone tomorrow. She can help you!"

Hearing his certainty, Yao Zhuer raised her head, a trace of surprise appeared on her disheartened face: "Is he the one who rescued me from prison?"

Sun Jifei nodded.

"But I have nothing. What does he want from me?" Yao Zhuer was extremely confused and couldn't help asking out loud.

"You'll know tomorrow. Don't worry. She's not a bad person!"

The next day, they returned to the capital.

Qin Sui did not meet Yao Zhuer, but asked Li Siniang to take her to arrange a place for her to live.

Sun Jifei told Qin Su about what happened in Yao Zhuer's family, and Qin Su was also deeply saddened after hearing it.

Every family has its own problems, and every person has his or her own difficult path.

However, Qin Sui felt the tenderness and pity in Sun Jifei's eyes when he talked about Yao Zhu's childhood, so she asked, "Do you feel sorry for her?"

Sun Jifei did not hide it and nodded in response: "I don't know why, but seeing her sad, I feel a little sorry for her." "Uncle Sun has always been kind and compassionate to the weak and kind people. I have always known this."

Suddenly he remembered something and asked, "How is Zhang Tianyao?"

Zhang Tianyao has always lived in the same courtyard with Sun Jifei, and has a special servant to take care of them.

"I can now sit up and eat, but I'm still very weak and can only stay awake for about an hour every day."

"There's no rush for this. We still have to take good care of him. Will Doctor Li still come to see him every day?"

Sun Jifei nodded.

Doctor Li also felt sympathy for Zhang Tianyao, the medicine man whose body was almost hollowed out. He said that from his name, one could tell that he was prepared to be a medicine man from birth. He was truly pitiful!

Therefore, Doctor Li came every day, took the patient's pulse and prescribed medicine and medicinal food for the day. In his words, "Doctor Zhang made a medicine man, and he brought the medicine man back to life. Although we can't say whose medical skills are better, I am definitely more humane than him."

Anyway, now everyone in the Xiao family says that this poor Zhang Tianyao was abducted or bought by old doctor Zhang to be a medicine man since he was a child, and they are definitely not biological grandparents and grandchildren.

Qin Sui added, "I'm going to accompany my mother to the General's Mansion, so Uncle Sun doesn't have to go. You can rest at home!"

Sun Jifei shook his head: "I'd rather follow you and feel more at ease. Besides, I slept well last night. I just got up early this morning to travel, so I feel a little tired. It's no problem!"

"In that case, Uncle Sun, go back and change your clothes first. It won't be too late for us to set off later."

A group of people, a carriage, a coachman and Sun Jifei sitting outside. There were only Su, Qin Sui and Qing Gu in the carriage. The carriage was not conspicuous, so it did not attract attention.

When they arrived at the General's Mansion, they did not go through the main gate, but entered from the southwest corner gate. The carriage went straight into the gate, and then Su and Qin Cui got off the carriage.

This time, Su talked alone with General Huo Jianguang, while Qin Sui sat on the other side waiting.

The person sitting with Qin Sui was the steward of the General's Mansion.

The butler said his surname was Huo. He told Qin Sui, "The general doesn't like the capital. He said the air here stinks to breathe."

Qin Shi sniffed and didn't smell anything stinky, just the scent of flowers and grass.

Seeing her like this, Butler Huo couldn't help but smile: "Mrs. Xiao Er, the stench that the general mentioned is mixed with the smell of money, greed and ignorance, calculation and contempt. The people here are too complicated, alas, their hearts are unpredictable!"

Qin Cui smiled awkwardly, then lowered her eyes slightly: It seems that I am also such a person!

It seemed that Butler Huo had also thought of this, and hurriedly explained: "Of course, I'm not saying that Mrs. Xiao is such a person."

Qin Sui smiled bitterly and looked up: "Butler Huo, it might be better if you don't explain! After you explain it like this, I can't deceive myself into thinking that you don't actually include me!"

"Hahahaha, I was wrong. I don't know etiquette." Butler Huo burst into laughter, and then restrained his smile. The serious expression on his face was no longer there.

"By the way, when will General Huo return to the border?" Qin Sui asked directly.

"I went to the capital several times because I had no other choice. But this time, the general refused to leave no matter how hard we tried to persuade him. He probably didn't plan to leave!"

"Not leaving?" Qin Cui confirmed again and saw the other party nodded, but seemed a little hesitant and unsure.

"If Madam Xiao wants our help, you should have asked earlier. I'm afraid that the general won't be able to help me in the future!"

Qin Sui felt a little embarrassed as if she had been seen through, but she also discovered that the people in the general's mansion were different. They spoke and acted directly and did not like to beat around the bush.
