Gu Ruoqing jumped into Zhang Xiaohui’s arms and bawled loudly the moment she reached home.
Zhang Xiaohui was frightened. She could hardly call the girl before her her daughter.
although her daughter was quite slim in the past, she was never this haggard. This child did not look like a human now.
“Qing Qing, what happened to you? What happened?”
Gu Ruoqing recounted the events in tears. She was overwhelmed with fear and there was no one else whom she could give vent to apart from her mother.
Zhang Xiaohui was paralyzed by what she heard.
Her daughter was bullied and her body was ruined by Wang Mazi what more.
Gu Ruoqing cried. “Mother, what to do? I can’t stay here any longer. That Wang Mazi knows about us and will definitely look for me. I only managed to sneak out after finding a chance to hit him unconscious. These few days were like hell. I don’t want to be here anymore. I want to leave. I don’t dare to stay. Boohoo!”
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohui’s big stomach was gone, Gu Ruoqing was taken aback. “Mother, where’s younger brother?”
A bitter expression filled Zhang Xiaohui’s face immediately as she recounted the incident.
Gu Ruoqing’s last hope was shattered completely but she was, instead, more clear-headed at this instant.
“Mother, shall we leave? Escape quickly. Away from this damn place. We cannot stay in the Wang Family as we will only be slaving for those two oldies and we can’t even fill our stomach. Furthermore, Wang Mazi would definitely look for us. By then…”
“That’s right!” Zhang Xiaohui seemed to suddenly recall something and she grabbed Gu Ruoqing’s hand abruptly. “Qing Qing, quickly run away. You cannot stay here. Your grandparents want to marry you away to a forty-year-old man in the countryside in exchange for food. Hurry, run away. Your grandmother went to discuss the marriage already and your father has already agreed!”
Gu Ruoqing was taken aback!
She burst into tears immediately. “Mother, I don’t want to stay here. I want to leave. What… what should I do? Where do I go?”
“Mother, can you leave with me? I’m afraid! I’m afraid!”
Zhang Xiaohui’s heart ached dearly as she looked at her daughter. Now that she explained the situation, she understood that their lives would be completely ruined if she and her daughter stayed here.
She must not ruin her future just like that. She still wanted to be a wealthy madam in the future!
Her daughter still needed to marry into a wealthy family. She must not! Must not be ruined just like that!
Suddenly recalling something, Zhang Xiaohui made a decision and said, “Qing Qing, don’t be afraid. I will bring you away. Let’s go to the North. There… is a great person there who will help us.”
“Let’s leave now!”
Things have reached this state and Zhang Xiaohui dared not let Gu Ruoqing stay here anymore. She wants to bring her away from this place. She still had her last hope in the North.
Zhang Xiaohui pulled Gu Ruoqing and wanted to leave.
“Wait!”
Gu Ruoqing calmed down after they decided to leave. Anyway, during the period of time that she was with Wang Mazi, she had already thought through that she would not be able to stay in this place. The fluster she had when she met Zhang Xiaohui just now was only due to the grievance she felt when she saw her mother after living in fear for the past few days.
After calming down, she immediately thought of the plan that she came up with earlier.
“Mother, wait! No! Follow me. Bring all the valuable items in this house away.”
Zhang Xiaohui was stunned!
But Gu Ruoqing had already darted into the house and the first item that she looked for was the money that she once hid.
Although it was not a lot, she still had to take it.
