In a small villa in the countryside of Hong Kong.
Ye Susu was packing her luggage. More than half a year had passed, and she looked a bit more weathered, with a sharper chin and a more pitiful charm.
"Miss Ye...can I really go back to Pingjiang?"
The one asking the question was none other than Lu Qingquan. He had changed even more; he was thin and bony, his back was hunched, and his hair had turned white. He looked like a middle-aged man who had gone through countless hardships and was now down on his luck and unsuccessful.
Lu Qingquan's eyes were no longer as smug as before. He was timid and hesitant, afraid to make eye contact with people. When he spoke to people, he would subconsciously hunch his back and shrink his neck.
Ye Susu didn't even glance at him, her expression haughty, and she said coldly, "You should also pack your things. I'll take you to the port at dawn."
Lu Qingquan doesn't have an ID card, so she has to smuggle herself back. She has already contacted a smuggler and will depart early this morning.
"I...I can really go back?" Lu Qingquan was overjoyed and could hardly believe his ears.
Can he go home now?
You're not lying to him, are you?
Ye Susu frowned in disgust. She couldn't stand this incompetent man. What was most hateful was that he had actually slept with her, and that was the humiliation she would never forget for the rest of her life.
She remembered very clearly that Lu Qingquan was also with her, and might even be the father of the child she aborted.
If it weren't for a last resort, Ye Susu wouldn't want to see Lu Qingquan at all, and even wanted to stab the man to death.
But now, she doesn't even have anyone she can use. Lu Qingquan is still somewhat useful, at least he has some influence in Pingjiang.
Most importantly, Lu Qingquan and she shared a common enemy, which was the main reason why Ye Susu forced herself to save Lu Qingquan.
"I went through so much trouble to redeem you from the rubber plantation, just to deceive you?" Ye Susu retorted sarcastically.
Lu Qingquan finally believed it was true and was overjoyed; he could finally go home.
No more wandering around outside!
Lu Qingquan suddenly felt like crying; his eyes stung. This time, he really almost... almost died in a foreign land.
It turns out that Ye Yuanhao tricked him into going to Hong Kong to marry Ye Susu. Lu Qingquan believed him and was eager to become the son-in-law of the Ye family. He even dumped Ye Lan, who was six months pregnant, causing Ye Lan to die along with her unborn child.
At the time, Ye Yuanhao said that Lu Qingquan couldn't handle the procedures in Hong Kong, so he coaxed him to take a cargo ship there. Lu Qingquan didn't suspect anything and was overjoyed to become Ye's son-in-law.
At the time, he didn't know how many days he had been adrift at sea, huddled on the lowest deck of the cargo ship, keeping company with a group of dirty and smelly people. Lu Qingquan thought he was different from those people, but after getting off the ship, he realized that he was no different from them.
Lu Qingquan had some doubts halfway there. It shouldn't have taken that many days to get to Hong Kong, but he felt like he had been floating for at least half a month.
After disembarking, Lu Qingquan didn't wait for the Ye family driver Ye Yuanhao had mentioned. He got into a car with a group of people and arrived at a rubber plantation in a daze.
Then……
He then began a life of slavery that was worse than death. These people were all sold here to do hard labor, getting up before dawn every day to dig holes and plant trees, without rest from morning till night.
They eat worse than oxen, but work harder than oxen.
These weren't the worst parts. What Lu Qingquan feared most was the quiet of the night, when his suffering truly began.
The rubber plantation was huge, and all the laborers there were strong men, and they had all been starving for several years. In such a vast plantation, you couldn't find a woman, or even a female dog.
