Liu Min said impatiently, "How could I possibly lie to you? Why are you so impatient?"
"How can I not be anxious? This is my daughter. You want to take her away without money? How can such a good thing happen? Hurry up and give me the money."
Lan Yaowu held Lan Shuang tightly and refused to let go.
Liu Min sneered, "Do you remember that she is your daughter?"
Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan's faces turned ugly. They wanted to refute but had nothing to say.
Liu Min turned around and took out a neatly bundled stack of banknotes from his electric tricycle. "Here it is. Count them carefully, or you'll come back and say the amount is wrong."
Lan Yaowu's eyes lit up. He turned to look at Fang Yinan. Fang Yinan counted them one by one. There were a total of 40,000, not a single one missing. She counted them three times and nodded to Lan Yaowu after confirming that there was no problem.
"Can you give him to me this time? We have signed a contract and we can't go back on our word later."
Liu Min looked at Lan Shuang greedily.
Lan Yaowu put the person in the car and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I won't regret it. Take her away quickly, otherwise she won't wake up and cry."
Lan Shuang sat in the truck bed, which was covered with a thick layer of old clothes, which were relatively clean and soft. She leaned against the corner of the guardrail, feeling nauseous.
Liu Ming had just gotten into the car and was about to start it and turn around to leave when Lan Shuang suddenly called out, "Who are you? Why are my hands and feet tied? Dad? Mom?"
She looked at Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan in "disbelief".
Lan Yaowu remained silent and did not answer. Fang Yinan turned her face away and said, "You will be a member of the Liu family from now on. Live a good life with Liu Min. We will visit you when we have time."
Liu Min sat on it, twisted the handle and smiled, "Wife, be good and don't scream. Let's save some energy for when we get home. No one will save you even if you scream now."
Lan Shuang was devastated and struggled frantically, but her hands and feet were tied and she couldn't break free at all. She could only watch her home getting farther and farther away.
She cried out for help: "Help, help me! I don't want to leave!"
"Someone come and save me!"
“Help!”
Some villagers heard the noise and ran out to see what was going on. However, when they saw Lan Shuang's hands and feet were tied, and then they looked at Liu Min who was driving, they immediately understood what was going on.
Lan Yaowu and Fang Yinan shouted from behind, "Lan Shuang, you're not a child anymore. Stop throwing a tantrum. When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken. When you marry a dog, you follow the dog. There's no reason to regret it so easily."
After they said this, no one came forward to help. They just watched the farce with indifference, numbness or relish.
The electric tricycle was speeding forward. Those eyes flickered in the night. Lan Shuang scanned them one by one. No one responded to her cries. Perhaps they had become accustomed to this kind of life.
As they were about to leave the village, Lan Shuang stopped shouting and leaned against the railing with an expressionless face.
888 asked with concern: "Host, is your throat okay?"
"I'm fine. I just held back and didn't scream to death." Lan Shuang said calmly.
888 was even more confused: "Then why did you shout just now?"
"Just acting." Lan Shuang smiled, but the smile was fleeting, like fireworks in the night, and soon returned to silence.
She actually wanted to see how many people in this village still had good intentions. Now she saw that human nature could not stand the test. If she waited for them to help her, she was afraid that even her bones would be eaten away.
Now that this approach seems unfeasible, the only option is plan two.
"You can actually untie the rope and run away now, right? Host, why don't you run?"
"Why are you running?" Lan Shuang asked back, "The next village is closer to town. I could just take a ride. How long will it take me to walk all the way?"
888: "...You're awesome."
Seeing that she had stopped crying and making a fuss, Liu Min in front of her smugly hummed a little tune, "Why are you yelling? Who will help you? We're all from the same village. We'll see each other every day. How can you survive in the village after I help you?"
Lan Shuang didn't say anything, just listened to him playing quietly, treating it as background music.
Liu Min talked for a while, and seeing that she didn't respond, he didn't feel embarrassed. Instead, he persuaded her, "Don't worry. Although I'm a little older than you, older people are more caring. Just work hard to give me two big fat boys. What's there to worry about having no money to spend?"
Lan Shuang's expressionless face finally showed cracks. She rolled her eyes and asked, "Why don't you give birth?"
"Hey girl, how can you talk like that? If I can survive, do I need to find a wife? More wives means more rice, isn't that money?"
He couldn't pretend anymore before he even got to his house.
"In the future, don't turn on the lights at home when you have nothing to do, and save firewood and other things. Don't be extravagant. I hate women like this the most. They can't make money and only know how to squander money. Don't blame me for not wanting you when the time comes."
Lan Shuang sneered, "Are you talking as if I cherish you so much?"
What do I care about you? Do I care that you don't take a bath, that you are narrow-minded, or that you are stingy to death?
Liu Min became more and more excited as he spoke. "I have an elderly mother at home. After you marry into my family, remember to cook for her on time every day and don't talk back to her. It wasn't easy for my mother to give birth to me. You must be filial to her. If she is not satisfied with you, don't blame me for being rude."
Lan Shuang was silent. She finally understood why this man was still a bachelor at such an old age.
He is stingy and chauvinistic, but he is also a mama's boy!
The buffs are stacked up and the appearance is ugly. Who is blind enough to marry their daughter to such a family?
Oh, Lan Yaowu Association.
Lan Shuang looked at the surrounding scenery. She had not gone out in vain during the day. She had also walked here and had a general idea of the layout of the village. When chatting with 888, she learned that the next village was closer to the town, so she followed suit and got on the car.
After about twenty minutes, the car finally stopped slowly.
Lan Shuang looked at the short and dilapidated house in front of her, and finally understood where those tens of thousands of dollars came from. It was probably saved by living frugally. Half of his front door was broken, with one side hanging on the ground, but he had never thought of repairing or replacing it.
The electric tricycle stopped. Liu Min rubbed his hands excitedly and walked over to look at Lan Shuang. "Wife, I'm going to hold you. Be good and don't move around, or I'll beat you up."
Lan Shuang looked at him. It turned out that the previous evaluations were not comprehensive enough. He had to be added as a potential domestic violence offender.
Lan Shuang was picked up by Liu Min. She whispered, "Please untie the rope on my legs. I can't run away, and it's inconvenient to do anything with it tied up."
Liu Min looked at her in surprise, as if he didn't expect her to say such a thing. When he lowered his head, he saw Lan Shuang's face flushed, as if she was embarrassed.
A man who had not tasted the sweetness of love in all these years could not resist such temptation. He immediately bent down and untied the rope on her legs.
Just as he was about to happily stand up and lead the person in, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his back, so painful that his eyes went black.
