Chapter 14 They Elopeed
As the weather grew colder, Su Jin woke up in the morning to find that it was snowing heavily outside.
Although I was wrapped up tightly, the moment I opened the door, the biting cold wind still kept sneaking into the gaps in my clothes.
"Xiao Jin, the village chief has agreed to go to the county to handle our family's affairs in the next couple of days. Just bear with it a little longer, and once the county approves it, you can go to Zhenxing."
Liu Guizhi felt sorry for Su Jin, whose little face was red from the cold.
To earn those few work points, Su Jin left early and returned late every day. It was alright in the summer, but it was unbearably cold in the winter.
Su Jin nodded obediently and then went out the door.
As she passed the place where the educated youth lived, she wanted to wait for Wang Hongying to go together, but as soon as she reached the gate, she heard a commotion inside.
What happened?
She went inside and saw that not only were the educated youth there, but even the village chief was there.
When Wang Hongying saw her, she lowered her voice and said, "Li Xinyue is missing."
Su Jin blinked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
Wang Hongying bluntly stated, "She eloped with someone."
Su Jin: "Huh?"
"It's true. She didn't come back last night. We found a note under her bed. It said she was going to find love and freedom, and that we shouldn't look for her."
Just hearing Wang Hongying talk about it makes my teeth ache.
However, she wasn't surprised at all that Li Xinyue could do such a thing.
After all, there's no hope for that girl to return to the city, so how could she be willing to stay here for the rest of her life?
Su Jin frowned deeply. "Could there be a mistake? I haven't heard anything about her being with anyone."
"Just because we haven't heard of it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Besides, we just saw it. Her clothes and other valuables are gone, so she must have taken them with her."
Wang Hongying's face was full of disdain.
In this conservative era, eloping with a man is definitely a shameful thing.
Moreover, Li Xinyue was a sent-down youth who had gone to the countryside. If she ran away like this, she would have to live in anonymity for the rest of her life, ruining her future.
How foolish!
Su Jin remained silent.
The village chief's expression grew even more solemn, and he finally spoke, "Everyone, please disperse. There's nothing to see here."
The educated youth ran away; this matter could be a big or small issue, and it was no longer something he could decide.
Su Jin and Wang Hongying went to work together. Wang Hongying talked incessantly the whole way, while Su Jin listened attentively the entire time.
At this moment, Li Xinyue, who should have eloped with the man, was bound tightly and sent to the trafficker's car.
"Waaaaah..."
Her mouth was gagged so she couldn't make a sound, and could only cry in fear, pleading with her eyes for Zhao Zhihu, who should be in the hospital, to let her go.
She truly regretted it; she shouldn't have conspired with a tiger. Now Zhao Zhihu was convinced that she and Su Jin were in cahoots, and no matter how she explained, he wouldn't believe her.
Zhao Zhihu finally came up to her, raised his hand and slapped her tear-streaked face, "This is what happens when you betray your father!"
I've finally gotten half of my revenge!
Li Xinyue shook her head vehemently in denial, only able to sob. Besides, she had already given him everything of value as he had asked; why couldn't he let her go?!
"I'm leaving this bitch to you. I never want to see her again in my life!" Zhao Zhihu told the two human traffickers in the car and then signaled them to drive off.
