Gradually, more and more people began sending gifts to the Cui family.
It was customary to receive presents when families celebrated joyful occasions, but the Cui couple could only force a smile. Some people even suggested that having their daughter chosen to marry the Water God was a great honor for the Cui family. Of course, the couple dared not express any complaints, lest they be accused of disrespecting the Water God, which would make life unbearable in the village.
Standing from a distance, watching the people coming and going at the Cui family's entrance, Susu couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Are we not going to rescue that girl?"
Shen Wu did not move.
Wen Ran replied, "We have to wait until night fall to see what mystery lies behind this marriage arrangement. That way, we'll still have time to rescue her."
