Xue Li'er had some knowledge about Arab violence.
She knew that they never intermarried with people of other faiths. In their eyes, women were just men's private property and had no social status at all.
However, she had never heard that Arabs had such a tenacious tradition of revenge. This was beyond her expectations.
"I...I..." Xue Li'er was a little scared. She really didn't want to have any more trouble with these Arabs. "You didn't tell me in advance! I didn't know..."
"Shh!" Rashid put his index finger to Xue Lier's lips and said soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Patty. I have a way to save you."
"What method?" Xue Li'er's eyes lit up when she heard what Rashid said, and she asked hurriedly.
"Marry me, Patty." Rashid said slowly, his voice full of seduction. "As long as you become my wife and join the Communist Party, no one will seek revenge on you."
Xue Li'er stared blankly at the Middle Eastern man in front of her who was more than twenty years older than her. She had never thought that he would actually want to marry her.
"Are you kidding?" Xue Li'er suddenly felt incredibly absurd. Was she risking her life like this just to become the wife of this old Middle Eastern man?
"I'm not kidding," Rashid said. "The traditions of Islam have always been sacred and serious. You, a woman of a foreign race, must be punished for killing a man of ours."
Xue Li'er was confused. Although she didn't know much about the ***, she did know some of their terrifying traditions.
If this is true, then even if she returns to the imperial capital, she may still be hunted all day long.
How can I explain this to Nanxun, and how can I live a happy life with him?
But this Middle Eastern man in front of me couldn't possibly be unmarried at his age. Polygamy was common in most societies. Could it be that I could only be his concubine?
As if to help Xue Lier make up her mind, Rashid's eyes suddenly softened.
"I have three wives," Rashid said. "We can marry a maximum of four wives. You will be my last wife."
"In my entire life, no Oriental woman has ever touched my heart like you do," Rashid continued. "Patty, I'm willing to make an exception for you. I'll let you join the *** as my wife. You'll become the most distinguished woman in our organization."
"But I don't have legal status." Xue Li'er tried to put the old Middle Eastern man off for now before making any plans. "You know, you brought me here illegally. If you want me to marry you, I must have legal status."
"Ah..." Rashid felt ridiculous for his own impulsiveness. "Yes. My oriental beauty, you are right. To become my wife does require legal status."
"Then... you must let me go back to China first." Xue Li'er said, "I'll come back to marry you after I've completed the legal procedures."
Rashid immediately saw the cunning in Xue Li'er's eyes. After a moment's silence, he said, "That's a good idea. But, Patty, you have to join the Communist Party before you can return home. You know, you don't need legal status to join the Communist Party."
Xue Lier was overjoyed when she heard that Rashid agreed to let her return to China.
"Okay. I'll join the Communist Party," Xue Li'er said. "As long as I can return home safely, I'll do whatever you say."
