A glimmer of understanding flashed across Lu Zhiye's eyes. It seemed that his previous guess was not wrong at all.
After arriving in Anshi, he got a general idea of the situation in this place.
The man named Jiu Ye was said to be a tomb raider and had a big stall in Anshi.
Such a person must have many capable people under his command. How could he tolerate Hu Ermaizi borrowing so much money and not paying it back?
There is only one possibility, Hu Ermazi has something that someone else wants.
"Her? I don't dare to accept her. You two are a legitimate couple. If you go to the street office and file a complaint against me for human trafficking, wouldn't that be more trouble than gain?"
Lu Zhiye spoke slowly, looking Anping up and down several times.
Hu Ermaizi quickly smiled and said, "How could that be? We didn't get a marriage certificate at the beginning, and I'm not stupid. What is her identity?
If you get the certificate, you will be involved with the landlord. Don't worry, the kind of thing you said will never happen."
Lu Zhiye noticed that when Hu Ermaizi mentioned the word "landlord", the woman's body trembled even more violently.
Perhaps because they shared the same suffering, Lu Zhiye felt a little sympathy for her.
The look he gave Hu Ermazi gradually turned cold. Hu Ermazi was horrified by his gaze and quickly ran to Anping and pulled her over.
"Look, look, your mind is clear, you will definitely be able to find out something."
Hu Ermaizi is not a stupid person, on the contrary, he has a very active brain.
When he first stepped into the casino, he won some money and had a sweet time with Anping.
However, human desires are always endless. After winning a small amount of money, they want to win big money.
Later, he lost everything and just when he was about to give up, people around him kept saying that your wife must have a lot of good things hidden in her hands given her previous status.
If you find a way to take what she has, won't you be able to make a comeback?
Under the repeated instigation of people around him, he borrowed more and more money.
He knew very well that if people around him were willing to lend him money, they were most likely certain that his wife had something.
Otherwise, he is so poor that his pockets are leaking, how can others dare to lend him money?
Lu Zhiye then looked up at Anping. Her pale face was filled with death, and even her eyes, which were previously filled with tears, no longer had any ripples.
She looked at Hu Ermazi silently, as if asking: Do you really want to do this?
Hu Ermaizi was startled by her look, and subconsciously looked away and loosened her collar.
"Okay, but I'm worried about you. I just need to sign a letter of responsibility to sever ties with you.
She will have nothing to do with you anymore..."
Hu Ermaizi's face flashed with confusion: "What about the debt I owe?"
Lu Zhiye glared and looked at Hu Ermazi fiercely.
He was so frightened that his legs were shaking. He didn't dare to ask any more questions and said quickly, "I'll sign, I'll sign..."
Watching him sign his name crookedly, Lu Zhiye took out the ink pad from his arms and pulled his hand to press it.
"Go, get your things and follow me."
After Lu Zhiye finished speaking, seeing An Ping didn't move, Hu Ermaizi raised his hand and hit her: "Didn't you hear me talking to you?"
Lu Zhiye kicked the chair under him towards Hu Ermaizi to stop him from doing so.
Hu Ermaizi's leg was hit hard by the chair. He grimaced in pain and quickly closed his mouth.
Anping went back into the house with a wooden face, put away his household registration booklet, and walked out with a small package.
After they left, people around them kept talking about it: "Hu Ermaizi is selling his wife now?
His wife is usually down-to-earth and capable, and she manages the household well?"
"Who says it's not true? But then again, there are so many people asking for debts, Hu Ermaizi probably owes a lot of money. It's worth it to exchange a wife for future peace."
A man scratched his head and stared at the direction where Anping left without blinking.
The aunt next to him was so angry that she stretched out her hand and hit him: "I'll let you see, look again, don't think I don't know your dirty thoughts."
The men around looked away silently.
Anping is good-looking, and many people have set their sights on her.
Lu Zhiye took Anping through many twists and turns and headed straight to the outskirts of the city.
At this moment, An Pingxin was already dead, looking at everything in front of him in confusion.
There is a large reservoir outside the city. Lu Zhiye walked in front, and Anping's eyes fell on the bottomless reservoir.
I murmured to myself: Will I be free if I die?
Lu Zhiye had sharp ears and sharp eyes, so he naturally heard her words clearly.
I looked around and saw that there was no one around. It was a perfect place to have a conversation.
"Anping!!"
The man's shout was like a thunderclap exploding in Anping's ears, causing her eyes to widen in shock.
"Who are you???"
Lu Zhiye didn't waste any time and directly handed over An Jingyi's letter.
The moment he saw the letter again, Anping's hands trembled like a sieve and he looked at everything in the letter in disbelief.
"I, my father, am really still alive..."
Everyone thought An Jingyi was dead. There had been no news about him for so many years. Only An Ping still held on to a glimmer of hope.
His father once said that he would never abandon her...
Anping lost his balance and fell to the ground, tears streaming down his face.
He whimpered like a trapped beast, as if what he was facing was not his father's letter, but the living An Jingyi.
She held the letter tightly in one hand and grabbed her clothes on her chest with the other hand, crying breathlessly.
He was completely a wronged child, expressing his sadness to his father with tears.
Lu Zhiye stood with his hands behind his back, looking towards the direction of the reservoir. It was the same scene as when he first met Yan Wenqing.
I feel wronged, sad, unwilling, and even a little resentful, but it can't overcome the hope and longing in my heart.
When Anping had cried enough, she stood up carefully and asked softly, "Is my father okay?"
Lu Zhiye told her the real situation. All the talk of whitewashing the truth and only reporting good news but not bad news was nonsense to Anping.
She needs to know that no matter how hard or difficult life is, her father still cares about her.
After a long time, Anping wiped his tears and said, "I'll go with you. There's nothing worth staying in this place.
But before you go, can you go somewhere with me?
I need to solve some problems. As a reward, I will not only give you the recipe my father gave me, but I will also give you half of what he left behind."
Lu Zhiye was a little surprised by this. An Ping's attitude in speaking and doing things was somewhat similar to An Jingyi.
I just don't know how my life has become like this.
