Chapter 169: Leaving the Rou Family

A small beating every three days, a big beating every five days.

The family even thought the son-in-law was in the right? Her eldest sister still listened to her parents' brainwashing, saying it was her fault for not being able to have children! When Rou Huiqing heard that at the time, she felt like sewage had been poured straight into her skull—utterly disgusted to the extreme!

For the sake of their family's two good-for-nothing brothers, did both sisters have to be sold off to fill the holes they'd dug?

"You're really so useless, dragging my marriage down a notch too. Life from now on is going to be hard!"

Rou Huiqing genuinely felt she'd been wronged! This was clearly Liang Liying's fault! She herself got sick and dragged her former students into it. Or rather, a great many people were simply using it as an excuse to make things difficult for their daughters-in-law, saying it deliberately. Those who actually married girls taught by Liang Liying had hardly any families who genuinely liked their daughters-in-law. Either they wanted to keep asserting control, or they already wanted to swap wives.

In their circle, without interests binding them, people scatter. A girl's value was realized the moment she was married off. Unless there was long-term cooperation afterward, it was no different from buying and selling goods.

Qin Zhenzhong didn't come looking for the Rou family, but news traveled fast!

After Rou Huiqing's parents found out she hadn't desperately begged Qin Yuanjun to change his mind, they flew into a rage and wanted to whip her.

Rou Huiqing was very calm. "If you damage me, you won't be able to sell me for a good price! I'll need at least half a month to recover. Can the family even afford my expenses for those two weeks?"

Ever since she grew up and her mother discovered her talent for auditing accounts, she would dump the work on her from time to time, then snatch it back when her father got home, pretending to have worked very hard.

Having frequently audited the accounts, she naturally knew the family's financial situation wasn't good. Only her grandfather and her parents were still dreaming the dream of her two brothers restoring the glory of their Rou family and becoming a great clan in their circle.

The candidates her niece mentioned for picking a match—was it probably because the family couldn't come up with money? Let her guess: last time's blind date was basically five to ten years older than her. This time's blind date was twenty years older, or fifty?

"What's this about selling or not selling? You're truly carving out my heart!"

"Of course I'm carving out your heart! You want the effect of selling one person for the price of two—wanting both money and reputation, but unable to have both. Isn't that carving out your heart, regretting you didn't have one more daughter?"

"You! You! You!"

"Dad, stop going 'you you you.' You'd better hurry and go check on little brother. I remember he has a car race tonight. If he loses the race, even selling me to someone seventy years older won't save enough for his wife and child! When the time comes, between your eldest son who needs support for his child and your youngest son who needs a wife, whose side are you on?"

Wang Jing was genuinely disappointed!

Why was her daughter so inconsiderate? Her father already favored those smooth-talking illegitimate sons! By exposing her brother's shortcomings like this, what good could come of it for her?

Wang Jing supported her husband to go find their youngest son. The others heard and followed along too. The money from selling Rou Huiqing was already allocated among them, and they absolutely refused to let anyone ruin it!

Rou Huiqing took this opportunity to search the house for her ID card and household register.

She wanted to go back to her room and pack more things, but was afraid her little niece who shared the room would tip them off, so she could only grab the essentials and run out the door.

She stepped outside, took out her phone, and was about to hail a ride when she saw a text message.

Rou Huiqing called without getting her hopes up. Before she could even speak, Su Yu was already talking.

"Auntie, we've driven over. Wait a moment!"

The car stopped at the entrance. Rou Huiqing quickly got in, tugging at her clothes with some conflicted feelings.

"You guys could have actually waited for me to walk over. I remember there are security cameras at the entrance. My parents will definitely latch onto you."

"Is that so?"

Su Yu frowned seriously. "Quick, quick, reverse the car!"

Rou Huiqing watched blankly as Su Xi reversed the car, then she was led out of the vehicle.

"Since there are security cameras, you can't leave with nothing! Bring all the things you like! We'll just record a video!"

Su Yu smoothly opened the camera from the back seat and started recording Rou Huiqing's back.

"Hello everyone, I'm Su Yu. I came to pick up my assistant and found she didn't bring any luggage. But barging into her family's home would be very rude, so I let my assistant go pack the things she likes! Don't bother with the cheap clothes—hurry up and bring down the things you care about!"

【Absolutely not giving her eldest uncle's future parents-in-law any chance to trick her with some old keepsakes!】

Rou Huiqing gritted her teeth and rushed upstairs. She didn't see her little niece, only heard sounds from the bathroom. Feeling incredibly lucky, she grabbed her most important photo frames, certificates, and such, and ran back down.

Su Yu shoved the camera right up to those things to film them. Rou Huiqing proactively took all the photo frames apart. She shook out the certificates and such too, proving they were just sheets of paper, but didn't film the text on the front.

After showing everything, Rou Huiqing said solemnly, "I only took my most important things."

Things in hand, Su Yu shut off the camera and urged Rou Huiqing into the car. "Let's run!"

Rou Huiqing got in the car, and it quickly drove away from the villa that had stifled her for over twenty years.

"But I took the household register. I want to transfer my registration to the Su Clan, is that okay? How should I send it back?"

Hearing this, Su Yu said listlessly, "My eldest uncle said to take you to the Qin family."

【I had it all planned out—to use this chance to get my eldest uncle and Rou Huiqing to marry by agreement, but my eldest uncle just won't agree! Serves him right for not having a wife! What a perfect opportunity! Strike while the iron's hot, two kids in three years!】

Su Xi: That's looting a burning house!

"You're not happy?"

"Yeah, I thought I could bring you back to my house!"

【I even used a Vomit Card! That was drawn with a Lucky Card, and it's worth way more than ten thousand yuan!】

Rou Huiqing pressed her lips together and smiled. Su Yu looked at her face. "You're really so pretty! You absolutely must not smile at the Qin family! If Qin Yuanjun sees your smile and regrets wanting to marry you, or lets you have his child while he flies off into the sunset with his Xianxian, what then?"

【Mostly, what about my eldest uncle? The person I went through all this trouble to get out can't be snatched away by Qin Yuanjun! No good, I need to drag my eldest uncle along constantly to make his presence felt!】

Just thinking about the scenario Su Yu described made Rou Huiqing feel disgusted!

"Here, let me show you a video of Qin Yuanjun and Guan Xianxian together. His love for Guan Xianxian is truly real!"

【Facts speak louder than words! I believe that after watching the video, any normal girl would keep her distance!】

Wulongcha asked curiously, 【Host, what if Rou Huiqing doesn't keep her distance, and for some reason is willing to marry Qin Yuanjun? The plot might still come full circle!】

【That's simple. Just you wait!】

Meanwhile, Rou Huiqing had the camera shoved into her hands and watched the two people on the ground on their knees.

Those expressions!

Those words!

Halfway through, she shut off the video playing on the camera.

"Sweetie, next time when someone's happy, don't show them this kind of appetite-ruining video!"

"Okay!"

"Did you tell Uncle Qin that I'm going over?"

Thanks for the votes, darlings~
