Chapter 1762: Chapter 1762: The Whole Family Sucks My Blood?

“I’m running out of patience, just give me one night. If you don’t provide the money by morning, or gather enough, even if I have to break your hands and feet, you won’t have it easy—I’ll start by breaking your limbs!”

Wu Lingxi knew what her brother was like and felt that she could no longer stay in this family.

She now deeply regretted coming back to this family.

Previously, she had not anticipated that her brother would go to the gambling house and become indebted. Had she ever suspected, she would rather die than return.

Moreover, it seemed that even if they gathered the money, he would continue to gamble in the future. It was like throwing coins into a bottomless pit, never to be filled.

Seeing Younger Brother Wu leave, Mr. Wu, Mrs. Wu, Wu, Mrs. Wu, and Younger Brother Wu’s Wife naturally couldn’t help but urge Wu Lingxi to take out the money to prevent Younger Brother Wu from going mad.

...

Since she felt she could no longer stay, Wu Lingxi planned to secretly escape.

Before escaping, it was natural to stabilize her family members first. Pretending to consider, Wu Lingxi said, “Let me think about it. I’ll give you an answer tomorrow morning.”

Mr. and Mrs. Wu, already believing Wu Lingxi had money, were now even more convinced of it. They thought that eventually, Wu Lingxi would come around and give the money to Younger Brother Wu. Little did they know what a big idea Wu Lingxi had, thinking that a young lady could secretly run away. They never contemplated that Wu Lingxi would flee. Otherwise, would she have returned with the kinship contract instead of staying outside? So, they didn’t watch over her that night, letting her think on her own in her room.

In the dead of night, Wu Lingxi took a bundle and quietly climbed out the window of her room.

Just about to find something to pad beneath the wall to climb over, since Younger Brother Wu had locked the courtyard door, Younger Brother Wu was a bit more cunning than Mr. Wu and the others.

But before she could find anything, Wu Lingxi noticed Wu Changcai preparing to climb the wall from next door.

Upon seeing each other, they both startled one another. Fortunately, they both quickly stifled any noise without letting others hear.

Wu Changcai gestured silently, pulling Wu Lingxi up the wall and then escaping through his courtyard.

Having someone to help was certainly the best outcome. Adding to that Wu Lingxi trusted Wu Changcai quite a bit, so she naturally and immediately placed one of her hands in Wu Changcai’s.

Once Wu Lingxi reached the neighboring courtyard, Wu Changcai asked in a very low voice, “I heard your family arguing during dinner. Now you’re carrying a bundle. Are you planning to leave here?”

“Yes, I can’t stay in this family anymore. The whole family is sucking my blood,” Wu Lingxi replied in an equally low voice.

Wu Changcai, seeing Wu Lingxi as though she were a lot of coins, knew he couldn’t let Wu Lingxi just leave since her money had not yet reached his hands. He hurriedly whispered, “Then wait for me. I’ll pack a bundle too, and I’ll go with you.”

“You want to leave with me? What about your parents?” Wu Lingxi was very surprised.

“Didn’t you tell me during the day that they aren’t truly willing to let me marry you? You are considering them and refusing to marry me. They have more sons than just me. We can’t be completely cut off. I’d rather leave with you. We’ll get married outside, live our lives outside without having to defer to them. Besides, as a single girl leaving home, I’m worried about your safety—what if you encounter criminals? I’m a man, after all, and can at least fend off some danger. When you were sold, your family didn’t even tell me where, making me miserable for a long time. Thank goodness your master was kind enough to let you return. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have had the chance to see each other again. Anyway, I don’t want to be separated from you anymore,” Wu Changcai said.
