An Dafu stretched out his head, trying hard to look in the direction An Ning’s voice was coming from.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t see anything through the door panel.
Even the voice was much more immature than his daughter’s.
However, he’s not who he used to be. If his Ningning also ca over, she’d be different from before, using soone else’s body.
Before An Dafu could figure anything out, he was slapped on the head by Gao Dashu, "Erlaizi, don’t think just because you’re a thug, I’ll be scared of you. If you keep staring around, I’ll gouge your eyes out!"
Having sneaked into soone else’s ho in the middle of the night, An Dafu couldn’t really argue when being beaten.
The only regret was that he couldn’t even take a glance at the person he wanted to see, and got beaten for nothing.
"Dashu brother, Dagen brother, I swear, I really didn’t co to do anything bad. I was just too hungry and thought to co to brothers’ house to find sothing to eat. Please have rcy and spare this ti!"
A man under the eaves cannot but lower his head.
Having built everything from scratch, An Dafu wasn’t soone who couldn’t swallow his pride.
However, Gao Dashu and his brother exchanged a glance and sneered, "Bah, if you said that normally, I might have believed you. But you, scheming with Erlai to secretly sell my daughter, then sneaking into our house, did you think I wouldn’t guess your vile intentions?"
"No, I swear, I really just wanted to find sothing to eat, absolutely no intention of harming anyone. Brother, can you believe ?" An Dafu ca sneaking over in the middle of the night just to verify if this An Ning was indeed his daughter.
He’s not the real Erlaizi, even if An Ning wasn’t his Ningning, he couldn’t do sothing like selling another family’s child!
Unfortunately, Gao Dashu was unaware that the soul of the Erlaizi in front of him had changed, firmly believing the man sneaking around in the middle of the night intended to harm their An Ning.
Glancing at his fourth brother Gao Dagen, Gao Dashu said, "Enough, let’s not waste words with him. Let’s get back to sleep and let the village chief deal with it in the morning."
"Alright, third brother, you should also sleep early." With that, Gao Dagen yawned and turned back to the room.
"Brothers... Brothers... No, listen to explaining..."
No matter how much An Dafu shouted from behind, unfortunately, no one paid him any mind.
There was no way around it; the character of the original Erlaizi was simply too despicable for anyone to sympathize with.
When Gao Dashu returned to the room, Mistress Yan asked, "How did it go? Did you find out? Did he co to harm Ningning?"
"He didn’t admit it, just said he was starving and wanted to find sothing to eat at our house," Gao Dashu replied.
"My husband, you can’t trust this Erlaizi. I think he’s clearly here to harm our Ningning. Soone like him, who already has designs on Ningning, is a scourge if left around!"
Just thinking about what could have happened if no one had discovered Erlaizi tonight, thinking that her Ningning might be sold to such a filthy place, made Mistress Yan tremble with anger.
"Don’t worry, I don’t believe him. Tomorrow morning, I’ll go with our fourth brother to find the village chief..."
Even with Gao Dashu’s assurance, Mistress Yan was still unsettled.
Gao Dashu still owed the gambling house money, a full fifty taels of silver, and the Gao Family certainly couldn’t afford it.
Throughout the Gao Family, only her Ningning was an outsider. If there had to be a sacrifice when the ti ca, then...
