After Father Su and Mother Su left, the educated youths looked at their backs with various gazes. Some male educated youths sympathized with Su Anna for being forced to marry Da Gao, while most female educated youths gloated at her misfortune.
With her marrying Da Gao, their chances of getting close to male educated youths increased, which is what they had always wanted. From now on, they no longer need to watch Su Anna act so pretentiously in front of male educated youths to gain their sympathy and affection.
Not knowing that their daughter had a bad reputation among the educated youths, Father and Mother Su came to Da Gao’s house.
At first, they also hoped that what the villagers and educated youths said were lies and that what their daughter said in the letter was the truth. But their hopes were dashed when they saw their daughter washing clothes at the well in Da Gao’s house.
"Anna!" Father Su called in disbelief.
Hearing her father’s voice, Su Anna stopped washing the clothes and slowly raised her head. The moment she saw her parents standing outside the fence, her eyes turned red, and all her grievances poured out of her heart. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she slowly stood up.
Seeing her daughter’s appearance, Mother Su felt her heart being stabbed by a dull knife. The beautiful daughter was nowhere to be seen. All she saw before her was a woman with rough, yellow skin and dry hair.
After looking at each other for a while, Su Anna finally choked up, "Father, Mother..."
When Father Su saw his daughter’s condition, all his anger at being deceived suddenly disappeared. He opened the door and walked into the yard. The parents and daughter stood face to face, lost at words due to their turbulent emotions.
Suddenly, Su Anna threw herself into her mother’s arms and cried heartbreakingly, "Mother, Father, you are finally here!"
"Anna, tell Mother, what happened. How did you become like this?" Mother Su hugged her daughter tightly and asked.
"Mother, it’s all because of Lu Jueyu. She plotted against me and forced me to marry Da Gao!" Su Anna cried.
Hearing her words, Father Su narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is Lu Jueyu the one who married Li Chenmo?"
Su Anna nodded and said, "It’s her. Not only did she trick Brother Chenmo into marrying her, she… she also plotted against me so people would see Da Gao and me half-naked. "
When Mother Su heard this, her face turned red with anger, and shouted, "What a vicious woman! Anna, why are you so naive and fell into her trap? What happened?"
"I… I don’t know that she won’t let me go even after she snatched Brother Chenmo away from me. Mother, please take me away. I can’t live in this place anymore!" Su Anna pleaded.
Father Su frowned as he listened to the conversation between his wife and daughter. When he looked up, he spotted a middle-aged woman leaning against the fence, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation.
