"I'd rather eat husks and wild vegetables every day, as long as he'd let me leave behind an heir."
"He took the silver, but in the blink of an eye, the girl I was going to marry went out, fell into the water, and drowned."
Gu Fei frowned. 'This Housekeeper Wu is so ruthless!'
'The things he's done are just twisted. What a complete psychopath!'
Old Huang gave a bitter smile. "After that, I gave up on the idea of marrying. I spent my days in a daze. After a while, things did quiet down."
"Later, everyone advised me to rent out the shop to collect some silver for my old age. I agreed, but who knew it would lead to trouble?"
"He wouldn't even let me collect a few hundred taels of silver in rent a year. In short, he's only happy when I'm dressed in rags, struggling for my next meal, utterly alone, and half-dead."
Gu Fei let out a long sigh. "So you're saying Que'er must have fallen into his hands?"
Old Huang nodded. "Who else could it be?"
