Chapter 903: Chapter 907: Light of Life (6)
Throughout the night, Gao Qianyu was sulking with Su Li.
Su Li, absorbed in his own thoughts, ignored her, regardless of her coquettish pleading, resolutely sticking to one thing: they would leave together tonight.
By midnight, as the agreed time to board the ship was drawing closer, the people in the room gradually became restless.
Each of their faces showed a flush of excitement, and their previously exhausted bodies seemed to be full of energy.
"Boom..." Su Li heard the sound of the ship docking.
At this moment, Chen Cheng, with a roguish intent, approached again.
This time, he did not seek out Su Li, but directly found Gao Qianyu and began speaking to her, saying, "Your cousin has always told me to take good care of you. This batch is about to board the ship. What I told you during the day, have you thought it over? Once you decide, there’s no going back."
Su Li frowned displeased and interjected, "Brother Chen, stop persuading, we’ve decided to leave tonight."
Chen Cheng seemed about to lose his temper, but after glancing at Gao Qianyu, he quickly suppressed his anger and turned his back on Su Li, speaking only to Gao Qianyu, "I’m just asking for your own thoughts. You’re Haizi’s sister, so it’s like you’re also my sister."
Gao Qianyu hesitantly glanced at Su Li and said in a small voice, "Brother Chen, what you say makes sense, but Su Li he..."
"It doesn’t matter, as long as you’re willing... Later, I’ll have someone take you to go the other way."
----------
Watching Gao Qianyu wring her hands nervously, Su Li directly asked, "Do you still consider me your husband?"
"I told you, Chen Cheng harbors ill intentions towards you. Why don’t you listen and keep associating with him?"
Gao Qianyu pouted, unhappy, "Stop being unreasonable, okay? Brother Chen wouldn’t... wouldn’t have those thoughts towards me..."
Su Li remained expressionless, "So I see you’ve already made up your mind?"
The sky will rain, and a lady wants to marry.
If the cow doesn’t want to eat grass, can you force it to eat?
Su Li thought he had done everything he could, already showing utmost kindness.
Everyone has to be responsible for their own choices.
Gao Qianyu was spoiled by the original owner, seemingly obedient and docile, but actually very headstrong.
She lowered her head, saying softly, "Don’t be angry, you go first and set everything up, then wait for me, alright? I’ll be over soon, just another week at most."
Su Li closed his eyes and didn’t respond to her, not speaking again until they boarded the ship.
From her point of view, their connection seemed to end here.
She wasn’t the original owner, wouldn’t wait devotedly for Gao Qianyu, and afterward... Gao Qianyu could only rely on herself for good fortune.
Last time, before leaving, the original owner left all the remaining money with Gao Qianyu, but this time she wasn’t so lucky.
Ignoring Gao Qianyu’s hesitant expression, Su Li calmly took out a few banknotes from his chest pocket, stuffing them deeply into his underwear pocket, ensuring they wouldn’t fall out before patting his hands with relief.
This money was the hard-earned money from the Su Family, borrowed one by one from relatives and friends; it couldn’t be wasted on outsiders.
Speaking of which, Gao Qianyu can’t exactly be considered part of the Su Family now.
Us rural folks marrying isn’t like city folks. Everyone’s ancestors have done it this way, once they’re engaged, the bride’s veil is covered, and she’s moved from her family’s home to the husband’s, becoming family.
But in the city, they say you need some kind of marriage certificate to be truly considered a couple.
Like in the previous life, when the Su Family went to the Gao Family to demand an explanation, the Gao Family responded to the Su Family by pushing back as follows.
"They didn’t have a marriage certificate, so my daughter can’t be considered your family’s wife. If you want to make trouble, let’s take it to the police station."
The Su Family, no matter how unwilling, could only swallow this setback.
Money can do miracles; at that time, the Gao Family had money, and what could the Su Family do to them?
With Su Li about to board the ship, Gao Qianyu couldn’t help but say, biting her lip, "Are you still angry, husband?"
If he wasn’t, despite her grievances, he still wouldn’t be proactive.
"Hmph, it’s good you know."
The one sentence left Gao Qianyu choked, unable to say anything further.
"Hurry up, the ship docking time is three minutes, please everyone board the container, don’t make noise or chaos....."
The human trafficker began organizing everyone boarding the ship in an orderly manner, seeing that if she didn’t speak now, there’d be no opportunity, Gao Qianyu disregarded her shyness and directly said, "Husband, the money is all with you, can you give me some?"
Whether one is rich or poor, you can’t go out without a penny on you.
Su Li looked angrily, startled, "That money was given by my parents."
"Didn’t your parents give you any money for self-protection when you went out?"
Gao Qianyu’s face turned red instantly, not quite believing these words came from her loving husband.
She trembled, her lips quivering, tears almost falling but not quite, very aggrieved, "You, you know, my family is poor, where would they have any money left for me..."
Su Li, with no tact, straightforwardly said, "When we got married, your family asked mine for a full 300 yuan dowry, and the dowry was just an old bed sheet. This much money, you could eat meat for a year and not finish it, how come there’s none left now?"
Gao Qianyu’s face turned completely pig-liver color, stammering for ages, only uttering a sentence, "My brother hasn’t found a partner yet."
Su Li: "Look at you, my sister also hasn’t gotten married yet."
"Can a girl be compared with a man?" Gao Qianyu, also angry, blurted this out.
"Why not compare, only your family is precious? My sister is also cherished by me, my parents, and my brothers, when she gets married, at least it’s got to be grand...."
"Just your family is clever, living off my family, stripping the Su Family’s money for your Gao Family’s marriage and childbirth, to pass on the family line? Did I marry just you, or the whole family?"
Gao Qianyu broke down into sobs, choking, "How did you become like this, how long have we been married, have you forgotten all the promises you made to me before?"
"You’re upset because I’m not going with you this time, I’m just...."
At this point, Chen Cheng appeared at the right time, frowning and angrily said to Su Li, "Qian Yu is your wife, instead of taking care of her, you’ve made her cry. What are you thinking?"
"The question is what are you thinking."
"One with a wolfish heart, one stupid as a pig."
Su Li didn’t bother wasting words with them, quickly stepping into the boarding line, disappearing from their sight in no time.
Chen Cheng’s face was dark; he hadn’t expected his intentions to be revealed long ago, then why did he?
Gao Qianyu’s face wasn’t good either, only those words "stupid as a pig" kept echoing in her mind.
Was that referring to her?
