As she spoke, Su Li turned and walked away. It was obvious that the girl had deliberately run up to her.
Although she did seem somewhat disgusted by the idiot, she wasn't actually afraid.
She just wanted to use people's sympathy to achieve her own goals.
The girl did indeed deliberately run to Su Li's side, mainly because she really had no other choice.
Her parents wanted to marry her off to this mentally challenged man to pay for her younger brother's dowry, which she was naturally unwilling to do.
These few days are her wedding day, and she really wants to run away, but she doesn't have a single penny on her.
Just now, when she was at the edge of the field, this idiot came looking for her. As she walked this way, she suddenly saw Su Li.
Judging from Su Li's clothes and appearance, it was clear that she was not short of money, and an idea immediately came to her mind.
If I can win her sympathy, can I escape the fact that I have to marry a fool?
That's why the scene just now happened.
Seeing that Su Li was about to leave, how could she let her leave so easily? She immediately grabbed Su Li's arm.
Su Li gave her a cold look and said, "Let go."
She was startled by Su Li's gaze; she had never seen a woman with such a strong aura.
Su Li turned to leave when the girl suddenly saw the photo in her hand and exclaimed excitedly, "I've seen the man in the photo you're holding!"
Upon hearing this, Su Li immediately stopped.
She looked sharply at the little girl in front of her; "Are you sure you've seen it? If you're lying to me, you'll be in big trouble."
The girl insisted, "I really have seen it."
She had indeed seen the man before, at her cousin's house.
She had a deep impression of him because the man was lying on the bed wearing a military uniform.
She only glanced at him briefly and saw that the man on the bed was seriously injured, and she could only see half of his face; the other half was covered in blood.
However, she was certain it was the man in the photo.
Hearing her certainty, Su Li said excitedly, "Take me to him quickly."
The girl wasn't stupid; she knew this was an opportunity for her.
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Su Li; "Sister, you know I'm in trouble right now, could you help me first?"
Su Li understood what she meant; the implication was that she wouldn't tell her if she wasn't going to help.
She wasn't angry. Sometimes, using the information you have to get what you need is better than resorting to underhanded tactics. "What do you want?" she asked.
The little girl held up five fingers: "I want five hundred yuan."
She knew she wanted a lot, but what if this beautiful woman was just a fool?
Wouldn't she have made a huge profit?
Su Li looked into her eyes; "Fifty."
The young girl's face fell instantly; fifty was exactly the dowry the fool had given her family.
This money wasn't enough for her to escape her current family and start a life outside.
Although it sounded like a lot, she had heard her cousin say that money was needed everywhere when you were out in the world.
If I can't find a job, this amount of money won't last long at all.
She'll eventually be found by her family and brought back to marry this fool.
The young girl gritted her teeth and said, "One hundred and fifty. If you don't want it, then forget it. I didn't mean to ask you for so much money. I know I'm being unreasonable, but I really need this money. If you don't want it, I can write you an IOU. I'll pay you back when I earn this much someday."
"One hundred and fifty, right? Okay, I agree. Take me to him now." Su Li was eager to see Gu Huanian, so she didn't argue with her anymore.
The little girl blinked and stared at Su Li without moving, while the foolish man started shouting again, "Wife, wife, let's go back, I'll take you back to have the baby."
The little girl glared at him with disgust and said, "Shut up."
As expected, her shout silenced the fool, who was clearly aggrieved.
Su Li: As expected, all that fear before was just an act for her. I didn't expect people in this era to be so cunning.
Su Li took out 150 yuan from her pocket and handed it to the little girl. The girl took the money excitedly and counted it one bill at a time.
It really was 150! She was incredibly excited.
"Okay, let's go! I'll take you there now."
Su Li followed the little girl and the fool, wandering around the village, and after half an hour they finally arrived at a dilapidated courtyard.
The little girl went up and knocked on the door. Soon the door opened, and there was another thin little girl who looked about the same age as her.
"Xiaoya, you're here?"
As she spoke, she looked behind Wu Xiaoya, where a very beautiful woman stood, looking like a fairy.
She felt that the woman standing in front of her house seemed to have bathed her yard in a halo.
She had never seen such a beautiful woman in her life. The woman's aura inexplicably reminded her of the man from before.
"Cousin, the older sister behind me is here to see that brother from last time."
The woman inside the door was stunned by these words. At this moment, Wu Xiaoya didn't care what her cousin was thinking and directly grabbed Su Li's hand and walked in.
Su Li cut to the chase, pointing to the photo in her hand, "Comrade, your cousin told me this man is at your house. He's my man. I want to ask if he's inside right now?"
Wu Xiaoya's cousin's face turned somewhat unpleasant upon hearing this.
He hadn't expected the man's wife to be this beautiful woman in front of him; he had thought...
She stammered, "But...but the day before yesterday, someone claiming to be his partner took her away."
