After My Flash Marriage with the Sick Beauty, I Reached the Pinnacle of My Life - Chapter 103.2
Ye Murou subconsciously looked at Wei Xixue, then said into the phone: “Got it, I’ll be right there.”
Undoubtedly, Wei Xixue would definitely go.
These past few days, Ye Murou kept asking if her vacation was over, but Wei Xixue never said, clearly intending to wait for Ye Murou to finish this matter before going back together.
Her earnestness moved Ye Murou but also made her feel fearful. And Wei Xixue was still attentive to Ye Murou’s feelings on the details.
As a result, by today, Ye Murou could calmly ask: “Are you coming along?”
Wei Xixue just smiled: “Of course I am.”
Ye Murou was already prepared: “Then let’s go.”
Zhao Dahai was waiting for them at the foot of the mountain. That man lived in the mountains, and climbing up and down took time; everyone wanted to get it done early.
Zhao Dahai merely glanced at the extra woman without asking more, as long as his thirty thousand dollars wouldn’t be reduced. Zhao Dahai was clear-headed: “Let’s go.”
Since starting high school, Ye Murou hadn’t lived at home.
Xia Shishi’s sponsorship started when she was in junior high school. Two thousand per month was more than enough to cover a child’s education, but the money was in that man’s hands. She earned her high school and college tuition herself.
Even during winter and summer breaks, she worked part-time outside, so this mountain felt very unfamiliar to Ye Murou.
Returning to the village made Ye Murou’s stress multiply, almost suffocating her. Even knowing she had hired Zhao Dahai and his team, and that man wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on her, Ye Murou couldn’t stop feeling scared.
This was a long-term nightmare. Even though she had avoided it for many years, facing that man again still made her feel nervous and anxious.
It was then that Wei Xixue took her hand, and suddenly, Ye Murou wasn’t so afraid anymore.
Arriving at the door of the house, Wei Xixue was still holding her hand.
Ye Murou felt a little relieved, so she directly pushed the door open, putting on a powerful show.
In the middle of the day, that man was still sleeping in. When Ye Murou yanked him out of the quilt, he was still groggy. He instinctively wanted to lose his temper at Ye Murou, but then he saw the group of people behind her.
He was just a lazy man. Even though the village allocated him some plots of land, this man wouldn’t farm them.
Wasn’t having a daughter who could study enough? Two thousand dollars every month—what could farming achieve?
So the man, who only cared about enjoyment, was not stout, far different from Ye Murou’s memory.
She had really been away for too long, long enough to think the man was still like he was when she was a child, half a head taller than her, able to hit and scold her at will.
Now, Ye Murou was about the same height as the man, not to mention Zhao Dahai behind her, along with the few helpers he found. A large group of people stood densely inside the house, looking down at the man with intimidating pressure.
One person would only need to come forward and punch him, and he would back down. The man was instantly intimidated, but his eyes caught Ye Murou, and he still wanted to assert his authority as a father: “You finally came back!”
Slap! Ye Murou smacked him across the face.
The man’s anger was instantly ignited, and he tried to hit back, but Wei Xixue grabbed his hand.
Ye Murou panicked instantly, turning her head and roaring: “Hit him!”
Zhao Dahai looked hesitant. Didn’t they say it was just intimidation? Why did they have to use force?
Ye Murou was nearly driven crazy. The words “Do you still want the money?” were about to spill out, but Wei Xixue diffused the situation with a laugh: “Why so nervous? Do you really think he’ll climb up to hit me?”
The words Ye Murou wanted to say were stuck in her throat. She looked at Wei Xixue’s hand, thinking it was nothing if she got hit, but this hand was more valuable than her own life.
Zhao Dahai and his team took the money but didn’t stop him, so Wei Xixue had to intervene.
At this moment, Zhao Dahai also realized what the problem was. He cleared his throat, stood in front of them, and glared at the man: “You still want to use force? Are you pretending we don’t exist?”
After speaking, he raised his fist, as big as a sandbag, and angrily stared at the man. If he dared to resist, the fist would drop.
The man was scared, but still annoyed: “Why are you interfering in our family matters?”
Zhao Dahai chuckled: “Your family? It will be our family soon! Search!”
With Zhao Dahai’s command, his partners began to search the household, scaring the man, who thought they were going to rob him. In his haste, he actually said: “You are breaking the law by doing this!”
Ye Murou looked at him coldly: “What law am I breaking by taking things from my own home?”
Man: “You unfilial child!”
“Unfilial child?” Ye Murou sneered, “Why did you have to give birth to me? So unlucky.”
Ye Murou suddenly realized: their father-daughter relationship was a constraint on her, so why couldn’t it be the other way around?
She had been too obedient for too long, only understanding after resisting. She could actually be a villain too. Not only could she take the household register, but she could also take the bank passbook.
Even if the man reported it, she wasn’t breaking the law—Ye Murou quickly sobered up, knowing this wasn’t right.
She couldn’t become a person like that man. If she really took his money, she could forget about making a name for herself outside.
She just needed to take the household register… Ye Murou took a deep breath: “But don’t worry, your bad luck will end soon.”
The man stared fiercely at Ye Murou, wishing he could strangle her. He had already sat up from the bed, his fists clenched.
If Zhao Dahai hadn’t been worried about another incident like before and stared wide-eyed at the man, he probably would have used force already.
“You little bitch, you’ve even learned to commit treason!” The man couldn’t hit her, so he could only curse.
“You’re right,” Ye Murou glanced at the unsanitary and foul-smelling bedroom, which no one had cleaned up. “I didn’t want to come back either. It’s just that I didn’t have any money for a dowry to take with me.”
A dowry? The man froze.
Ye Murou looked at him, disgusted: “Don’t tell me you’re still thinking about the marriage you arranged for me. I was married in college a long time ago. If you hadn’t called, reminding me that I hadn’t asked you for a dowry, I wouldn’t have come back.”
Wei Xixue watched Ye Murou’s acting with amusement, thinking she could actually come up with such lines, so clumsy.
But it was surprisingly effective on this man. Hearing that Ye Murou got married in college, he immediately started cursing: “Good for you, you useless baggage! No wonder you never came home; turns out you sold yourself a long time ago!”
Wei Xixue frowned, crossed her arms, and didn’t do anything, appearing unconcerned.
That group of people had already searched the room thoroughly, even the outer house was not spared. They had discussed on the way that even though they would only take the household register, they should still mess up the entire house.
However, the house was already so messy that they didn’t have to try very hard. Soon, someone found the household register and brought it over.
That person even cooperatively said: “Didn’t find the passbook or bank card.”
Ye Murou tutted: “He probably has no money, the old bastard. How annoying.”
The annoying man saw Ye Murou take the household register and then realized: “It doesn’t count as marriage if you didn’t register. Damn cheap woman, now the bride price will be cut in half.”
Ye Murou knew that Zhao Dahai and his team wouldn’t easily use force, so she simply hit him herself, otherwise, she couldn’t suppress the anger in her heart.
Whenever the man tried to strike back, Zhao Dahai would intercept him; this was within Zhao Dahai’s scope of duty.
So, the situation was one where Ye Murou was unilaterally using force. As soon as the man opened his mouth, she would hit him.
“Useless baggage? Cheap woman? Bride price?” Ye Murou gnashed her teeth, looking at him. This man truly didn’t treat women as human beings. He was like this twenty years ago, and he still was now.
His mind was filled with the idea of selling his daughter, no different from an animal.
Ye Murou hated that her hands weren’t strong enough. That man would hit people regardless of the consequences, but she had to restrain herself when striking.
Such unfairness made Ye Murou’s eyes red. No acting was needed; her expression was full of hatred for the man.
“You really are dreaming.”
In this unreasonable place, even Ye Murou’s laugh was so sarcastic.
The most ironic thing was that Wei Xixue was watching nearby. What would Wei Xixue think? Would she think about how her mother was tormented by this man twenty years ago, and how twenty years later, she still couldn’t completely break free?
What was so great about this man that he could actually get what he wanted?
Ye Murou refused to let him have his way: “You’ll have endless suffering to endure from now on!”
