Chapter 14 You've Got the Wrong Person
At this moment, Zhou Erleng was jumping with joy, exclaiming: "I caught her! I caught her! I have a wife now! I have a wife now!"
Four men rushed over, holding a rope to tie up Mengyu.
Suddenly, Mengyu shouted fiercely: "If you dare to tie me up, I'll die right before your eyes!"
If it were someone else, perhaps Zhou Daleng and the others wouldn't believe it, but they believed this girl in front of them.
Hadn't she jumped off a cliff just a month ago?
Zhou Erleng said blankly, "You, don't die, my brother and I will treat you well."
Mengyu looked at him coldly: "Who are you? Why are you trying to capture me?"
Zhou Erleng replied: "I, I and my brother are your men."
Mengyu sneered: "Men? I'm not married yet, where did these men come from? You've mistaken me for someone else."
Zhou Erleng was at a loss for words.
Zhou Daleng stepped forward: "It was your parents who sold you to us. So now you are our wife."
Mengyu looked puzzled: "My parents?"
Zhou Daleng looked at her calmly, "Yes, your parents, Jiang Haidong and Li Chunhua. They signed this contract to sell you to us. They took our five hundred yuan and sold you to us."
Mengyu laughed suddenly: "Jiang Haidong, Li Chunhua? They are not my parents!"
Zhou Erleng shouted: "You're talking nonsense, denouncing your own parents because you don't want to be our wife."
The two brothers always bought brides sold by their parents, as per their eldest brother's advice—it avoids a lot of trouble with the girl's family searching for them later.
They clearly heard this woman was sold by her parents before buying her, and they even got the contract from a human trafficker; otherwise, they wouldn't have proceeded.
Zhou Daleng also found it hard to believe: "Aren't you Jiang Mengyu?"
Mengyu looked up: "No, my name is Lin Yu. My father is Lin Hai, my mother is Leng Xiangyu. Those Jiang Haidong and Li Chunhua you speak of aren't my parents, I don't even know them."
Zhou Daleng and Zhou Erleng were both stunned, as were the men behind them holding the rope, ready to tie someone up.
Had there been a mistake?
"What were you doing climbing up there?" Zhou Erleng asked blankly.
Mengyu took out some herbs from the bag behind her: "I went up to gather herbs."
This she had done earlier while climbing over a ridge, where she found some rare herbs and had picked them on impulse.
She pulled out a small hoe used for picking herbs from the bag: "This is my small hoe for picking herbs."
Thankfully, there was a small hoe in that storage talisman. Of course, this small medicine hoe was considered an antique and kept in the collection.
Seeing the medicines and hoe in Mengyu's hands, everyone was momentarily at a loss for words.
She was just here to pick herbs, not the poor girl sold by her parents into Tiger Valley.
However, the human trafficker had left long ago, and they had never seen Jiang Mengyu, so they couldn't be sure.
Mengyu was betting on the fact that they had never seen her, which is why she spoke so.
"You've got the wrong person, get this net off me," Mengyu said while trying to pull off the net.
"That's not right!" Zhou Erleng suddenly shouted: "Lao Liu told me my wife was on this cliff, waiting for me, that one day she would come down— that's why I brought Susu and Lao San here to wait. Since you came down from the cliff, you definitely must be my wife."
This Erleng, truly speaking nonsense.
Zhou Daleng was also momentarily taken aback and looked at Mengyu, as if waiting for her explanation.
