Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
When Wu Hao appeared with ng Weiwei and her family, Cui Shize had already gotten into the carriage and set off.
When Wu Ji saw them, his gaze landed on ng Weiwei’s hands that had the handcuffs removed. He imdiately lowered his eyes. “Hao’er, what’s going
When Wu Hao was in the Imperial City, he had already liked the beautiful ng Weiwei. Because of ng Weiwei’s identity and spoiled personality, Wu Ji did not agree, so Wu Hao could only hide his feelings in his heart.
But it was different now. ng Weiwei was a commoner like them. Wu Hao thought that Wu Ji would definitely agree to this marriage.
Wu Hao introduced happily, “Father, Weiwei will be a family with us in the future. When we reach the Southern Frontier, Weiwei will marry .”
As soon as these words were spoken, Wu Ji’s expression imdiately changed.
“Nonsense! How can marriage be child’s play!’
ng Ge was also unhappy and sneered. “Even if you agree, I won’t agree! Without three matchmakers and six betrothal gifts, how can it be so easy to marry my daughter just by redeeming her?! ”
Wu Hao panicked and hurriedly said, “Uncle ng, I’ll work hard. I’ll definitely let Weiwei live a good life.
ng Ge ignored Wu Ji, who was about to flare up, and ordered Wu Hao, ‘Then show so sincerity now. Without a carriage, how can Weiwei go on her way!’
Wu Ji took a while to recover and finally thought of the key point. He looked at
Wu Hao in exasperation. ‘What’s going on? Where did you get the money?”
Wu Hao did not have a single copper coin on him. Hearing Wu Ji’s words, Wu ngyao also frowned.
Could his brother have borrowed money from Sheng Huaixuan to redeem ng Weiwei?!
In an instant, her heart sank.
Wu Hao stamred but still did not say anything. Wu Ji was furious. “Speak! ”
Wu Hao made up his mind and gritted his teeth. “Father, I borrowed money from Uncle Cui, but don’t worry, I’ll definitely repay Uncle Cui double in the future!”
As soon as they t, Wu Hao borrowed money from Cui Shize. Wu Ji was almost angered to death by him.
However, Wu Hao had already redeed the people, and he could not return the money for a while. Wu Ji could only fling his sleeve and say angrily, “I won’t acknowledge this marriage, but you still have to return the ransom!”
Wu Hao was not in charge and did not know how expensive wood and rice were. Without any capital, how could it be so easy to earn back 60 taels of silver?
Wu Hao was stunned. ng Ge scolded even more, “1 wasn’t the one who asked your son to redeem us. Your son was the one who wanted to redeem us. He was begging to redeem us. You want money? Dream on! You still want to be in-laws with us? Get lost!”
Wu Ji wanted to curse back, but he had no way of retorting. He glared at Wu Hao. “Bastard! ngyao, let’s go! ‘
Wu Ji carried his bag and hurriedly followed the team. Little Huan and Wu ngyao hurriedly followed.
Wu Hao wanted to stop his father, but he was afraid that if he chased after him, ng Weiwei would ignore him.
He hesitated for a mont. He was certain that Wu Ji would not be able to accept it for a while but his anger would subside later.
Wu Hao comforted ng Weiwei, “Weiwei, don’t be angry. My father is just being impatient. He’ll be fine after he thinks it through. ‘
ng Ge said sarcastically, “My daughter is as beautiful as a flower and virtuous. I don’t need him to think it through. He should consider what kind of person he is!”
ng Ge was used to being arrogant as a royal family mber. In the past, he did not take Wu Ji seriously. Now that Wu Ji was just a poor old man, he looked down on him even more.
Wu Hao did not get anything he wanted. If not for the fact that he had redeed them, ng Ge would not even want to give him a look.
In ng Gels opinion, even if they were down and out currently, ng Weiwei ca from a noble background. It would be easy for her to marry a good man with a noble status.
As long as ng Weiwei married well, he could enjoy life with her and not have to live a hard life.
God knew how he had survived the journey.
If there was a suitable candidate, ng Ge wished he could marry ng Weiwei off imdiately.
Wu Hao’s expression darkened when his future father-in-law scolded his biological father. He endured it for ng Weiwei and said, “Uncle ng, I’ll try my best to treat Weiwei well. I won’t let her suffer in this lifeti.”
ng Ge scolded loudly, “You claim to be trying your best to treat my daughter well, then go find a carriage! Why are you dawdling here?! I was angered by your father just now. Even I know how to speak better than you!”
When Wu Hao heard ng Ge emphasize the carriage again and again, his expression changed. His father and sister did not even have a carriage, so how could he get a carriage for ng Weiwei?
Moreover, when he borrowed money from Cui Shize, he did not think much about it. He had used all the 60 taels of silver he had borrowed to redeem them. Even if he wanted to rent a carriage, he could not take out any money.
If he did not follow his father, it would be a problem for him to eat and sleep at night.
Wu Hao stamred, “Weiwei, let’s walk for a while. I’ll think of a way for you on the way.”
ng Weiwei compromised and beca Wu Hao’s fiancée in na because she wanted to reach the Southern Frontier safely.
If Wu Hao could not get a carriage, her legs would be crippled if she walked to the Southern Frontier.
Her expression beca straight. “You clearly have an idea now, but you refuse to do it. You are not sincere to at all!”
What could Wu Hao do? He looked at ng Weiwei in confusion.
ng Weiwei was anxious. “Since you can borrow money from them, why would it be difficult to borrow a carriage? Could it be that the relationship between your two families is not worth a carriage?”
Cui Shize would lend him money all because of his father.
If he went to beg Cui Shize to give him a carriage now, not for his father and sister, but for ng Weiwei, what would everyone think of him?
At the thought of this, Wu Hao felt that he was not fillial at all.
He shook his head and said pleadingly, “Weiwei, can we walk first?”
They had nothing now. Before their family found soone to rely on, they could only follow Wu Hao.
“Okay.”
ng Weiwei agreed on the surface, but she was filled with disdain for Wu Hao’s incompetence.
ng Ge was extrely dissatisfied. When he t his daughter’s gaze to stop, he swallowed his words.
Wu Ji carried a huge bag on his back and wore a simple cotton robe. He was no different from the immigrants on the way.
He smiled brightly at ng Weiwei. ng Weiwei glanced at him coquettishly and hurriedly looked away, but her eyes were filled with endless disdain.
ng Weiwei had a weak body. She would stop for every few steps she took. They only appeared when the team stopped to rest, set up the pot and almost finished cooking the noodles.
ng Ge had been walking for so long and was already hungry. When his gaze landed on Wu Ji’s pot, his eyes could not move.
He had eaten enough cold food and imdiately ordered Wu Hao arrogantly, “Cook noodles for us. We want to eat noodles!”
All the instant noodles were in Wu Ji’s backpack. Wu Hao looked at his father awkwardly and said carefully, “Father, can you give a few bowls of instant noodles?”
Wu Ji picked up his bowl of noodles and said coldly without even looking at him, “The governnt is in charge of food for the migrants heading to the Southern Frontier. Go and collect them yourself..”
