Chapter 193: Wishful Thinking (1)_1
Yan Yun and Yan Liu, who had fallen to the ground, were also scared to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. They wished to be married into the Lin Family, but they had never dreamed of risking their lives to do so. They had jumped out in front of the cattle car just now because they were desperate. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the Lin Family’s servant had managed to control the ox in time.
"Do you not value your lives?" Wu Dayou furiously leaped off the cattle car to interrogate them.
"Brothers, we were wrong. It seems like you are about to leave the village, could you possibly give us a ride? We were forced to stop the car out of desperation. Please do not take this to heart," Yan Yun pleaded sadly, clutching a small bundle as she looked at Wu Dayou.
"Brothers, we were hasty, please forgive us. Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and we are eager to return home. No cattle cars came through this afternoon..." the frail Yan Liu was even more pitiful.
"Aren’t you from the Shili Village?" Lin Changshu looked at the two sisters in front of him and found them very unfamiliar.
"Seems like they are the Ma Family’s cousins," Wu Dayou replied softly.
Upon hearing this, Lin Changshu stopped talking. Though he was busy at home, he had heard about the arrival of the Ma Family’s two cousins who were girls from the Yan Family. He had also heard that the two girls were forced to seek refuge with the Ma Family precisely because they were being pressured into arranged marriages by their family.
Thinking of how the Yan Family was planning to marry off the two girls in front of him to pay off their gambling debts, Lin Changshu’s heart softened a bit. Countrymen were straightforward people. The Ma Family may not be good people, but it had nothing to do with these two innocent girls. Besides, in the countryside, everyone warmly pitched in to help whenever a relative visited. Moreover, he wasn’t the only one on the car.
With these thoughts, Lin Changshu’s expression softened a bit, "Do you want to ride our cattle car to the market?"
