A woman in her forties, her face full of wrinkles, clearly someone who does farm work every day, stepped forward to comfort Lan Xin Ai.
"I was sold into this village a few years ago too, now I've had my first and second child, and I'm not thinking about running away anymore. You should just settle down here. Aunt Zhou has a bad temper, but she won't abuse you."
Everyone added their words, each trying to persuade Lan Xin Ai.
Lan Xin Ai looked at the unfamiliar faces in front of her and listened to their unfamiliar words, her heart turning cold. It seemed that the people in this village were all in it together, and if a woman sold into the village tried to escape, they would all join in the chase.
Moreover, the whole village would help keep watch.
So, those women sold into the village couldn't escape; in the end, they had no choice but to comply.
If it were her, she would rather bite her tongue and kill herself.
