Guo Jiumei believed Su Nanxi and was willing to go with him.
She'd be a fool not to leave; would she just wait for Zhao Jinhua to sell her off?
Given her current state, can she fetch a good price? Will there be any good buyers willing to take her on?
The answer is definitely no!
Su Nanxi could tell that Guo Jiumei hated Zhao Jinhua; the hatred in her eyes was impossible to hide!
But the current situation is not the time for her to take revenge, so she can only grit her teeth and swallow her anger.
Su Nanxi didn't care about their messy affairs; she only came to save her out of kindness!
Let them fight or kill as they please!
Su Nanxi gave Guo Jiumei some antidiarrheal medicine, threw her a set of maid's clothes, and told her to go to the well in front to fetch water and wash herself off.
Limited by circumstances, there was no choice but to wash with cold water, otherwise I would have to go back smelling like this.
The weather was so hot that Guo Jiumei always took cold showers at home, so she gladly accepted it.
After getting ready, Su Nanxi led Guo Jiumei out through the back door, avoiding all the guards.
Guo Jiumei asked in surprise, "How did you get the key to the back door of the Jin residence?"
After Su Nanxi came out, she threw the key into the wall and said, "I swiped it from a maid! This place is no place to stay any longer, let's leave quickly!"
Guo Jiu Mei glanced at the Jin residence, her eyes dim, it was unclear whether she believed it or not. After a while, she turned around and left with Su Nan Xi.
In the alley, Mo Qinghe, dressed as an old man, sat motionless on a donkey cart, seemingly blending into the night.
Hearing a noise behind him, he turned around and immediately rolled off.
My wife must have rescued him!
Okay! It must be!
Before I even got close, a foul odor wafted over!
Mo Qinghe stopped and waited for Su Nanxi to get closer before approaching her.
Su Nanxi nodded to him, and Mo Qinghe understood.
Guo Jiumei was shocked. What was going on? Why was there another person waiting here?
Is this mute woman an accomplice of Zhao Jinhua, who staged a charade to lure her out and then resell her?
Guo Jiumei's gaze towards Su Nanxi changed instantly; she went from believing to disbelieving!
Su Nanxi didn't notice anything unusual about Guo Jiumei. She was only thinking about sending this person back as soon as possible and completing her mission so she could be free of worries!
"This is the driver, get in! We'll rush back to the village tonight; the village chief and your parents must be getting impatient!"
Su Nanxi gave a brief introduction to Mo Qinghe, and then told Guo Jiumei to get in the car and go back.
Guo Jiumei hesitated for a moment, struggling with her own thoughts, unsure whether to believe it or not. Hearing that her parents were waiting for her made her feel extremely sad.
"Mute girl, tell me honestly, are you Zhao Jinhua's accomplice? Are you planning to lure me onto the bus and then sell me to someone else?"
Guo Jiumei finally couldn't help but ask the question that was on her mind.
Su Nanxi's hand, which was stroking the donkey, paused. She laughed angrily, "Sister Guo! You have quite the imagination! I'm letting it slide because you're easily frightened and don't trust people easily! Please use your brain to think about it. If I wanted to sell you, why would I need to trick you into getting on the cart? I could just chop you down with one hand, and you'd be lying obediently on the cart!"
I must say, Su Nanxi's sinister smile was quite terrifying in the darkness!
Guo Jiumei was so frightened that she took two steps back, her body trembling. Her eyes were full of vigilance, as if Su Nanxi was about to step forward and knock her unconscious!
Su Nanxi didn't want to waste time arguing with her, so she jumped onto the donkey cart and said to Guo Jiumei, "Hurry up and get on! If Zhao Jinhua finds out you've run away and chases after you, I might not be able to save you!"
Now Guo Jiu Mei was scared; she didn't want to go back to the Jin residence!
That dilapidated house was a disgrace to her!
So she simply got into the car, not caring whether Su Nanxi was lying to her.
At first, she was uneasy, but gradually, Guo Jiumei calmed down because she recognized that this was the way back to the village!
When under high stress, people tend to focus only on their own affairs and pay little attention to unrelated matters. However, once they relax and have time, they will start to pay attention to other things.
Once Guo Jiumei was certain that Su Nanxi wasn't lying to her, her tense nerves relaxed, and she began to pay attention to the driver and the donkey.
Guo Jiumei wasn't very familiar with Su Nanxi, but she secretly paid a lot of attention to her. The reason was simple: the Mo family's fortunes only improved after Su Nanxi married into the family.
She also wanted to get rich, but her family was too poor. None of them had any skills, they were illiterate, and they were always arguing!
She envied Su Nanxi for living a carefree and unrestrained life, and for being pampered by her whole family!
In private, Guo Jiumei learned a lot from Su Nanxi, setting traps and schemes, hoping to catch a wild animal for a meal, but unfortunately she caught nothing!
At first she thought she was just unlucky and that's why she didn't catch it, but later she realized that she had no luck at all!
She began to feel jealous and resentful. When rumors about Su Nanxi were circulating, she even spread them privately, because that ugly woman was so smug!
If we don't suppress it, we won't even know where this place is.
I thought it was the territory of a wealthy family in the past!
One important reason why Guo Jiumei was so easily deceived by Zhao Jinhua was that Guo Jiumei believed that associating with wealthy people could improve her own living conditions!
She felt that Su Nanxi was living such a good life because of Su Nanxi's previous environment, so she also wanted to get closer to the circle of rich people!
Zhao Jinhua tricked her into going out with just a few simple words!
At this moment, Guo Jiu Mei saw that Su Nan Xi still had a coachman and a donkey cart, and she couldn't help but feel envious. Her jealousy resurfaced.
Why did she fall into the mud while this ugly woman became more and more successful?
She'll definitely get a scolding when she goes back, and might even get a beating!
Even if she is still perfectly fine and her innocence remains intact, her parents will definitely be eager to marry her off to a distant place because of the rumors and gossip!
On the contrary, this ugly woman, who risked the danger of the dark to save her, will surely receive a lot of praise from the villagers and gain a group of admirers!
Hmph! Why should this ugly woman be worshipped?
Can a woman who runs around in the dark be a good person?
Su Nanxi wasn't stupid. How could she not notice Guo Jiumei's intense resentment?
But Su Nanxi thought it was resentment towards Zhao Jinhua, so he didn't take it to heart and let Guo Jiumei continue to be indignant.
People need some space to vent, she should just pretend she doesn't know!
Besides, Guo Jiu Mei's stench is a disgrace!
Mo Qinghe, who was driving in front, didn't think so. He felt that Guo Jiumei was no good person and harbored a lot of resentment. He thought she might be ungrateful!
They saved her this time, but perhaps their good intentions won't be rewarded!
Sure enough, when they reached the entrance to the village, Guo Jiumei saw her parents. She jumped down and hugged her mother, burying her face in her hands and crying.
Then she said something that made Su Nanxi wish she could send her back to the Jin residence immediately.
"Mother! This mute woman conspired with Zhao Jinhua to kidnap me!"
Su Nanxi laughed in anger. "Fine, very well!"
She's living out a real-life version of the farmer and the snake story!
