"The neighboring wife of Elder Wang was bought as well, and now she lives a harmonious life with him. The Liu family down the hill, both brothers bought wives, and they're doing well too. You shouldn't think about your past, this is your new home now."
The old woman continued speaking when she saw that Lan Xin Ai remained silent.
In their minds, offspring meant everything.
But the village was so impoverished that no one was willing to marry into it, so almost all the women were bought from outside.
"Don't think about running away. Women who've escaped from the village have had their limbs broken. You should give up on those thoughts."
The old woman's words filled Lan Xin Ai with despair. Was she really going to be trapped in this hellhole, unable to see Mr. Xi or Xiao Yan?
No, she wouldn't accept that; there had to be a way, there had to be.
