Song Li was half asleep when she felt a terrible headache.

I wondered if I hadn't slept well because I stayed up late last night.

Do you have a cold?

Her body was so frail!

She has the life of a princess but not the life of one.

Fortunately, she is quite quick-witted and a high achiever; otherwise, with her frail and sickly health, any company would have rejected her.

Just as Song Li was wondering about this.

Then I overheard a conversation between two men next to me.

Holy crap.......

Why is there a man in her room?

A man said in an unfriendly tone, "Look at you, you hit so hard. If this one dies, all our work will have been for nothing. This is the best-looking one in this batch."

"I didn't do anything! She tripped and fell because she was running too fast," a man said, feeling aggrieved.

"I don't care, we're just making money, we can't let anyone die."

"I know."

Another woman nearby said, "There shouldn't be any major problems. I'll talk to her again when she wakes up."

Song Li tried to open her eyes, but she couldn't open them no matter what she did.

Then I felt very sleepy and had no energy, so I fell asleep again.

She had a dream.

Looking around at the surroundings, she saw a scene she had never seen before, resembling something from the 1970s or 80s.

How did she know it looked like it was from the 70s or 80s?

She remembered it because she had recently watched a lot of short dramas based on period dramas.

Song Li was born in 1995, so she herself has never seen the scenes of the 1970s and 1980s.

She looked around in a dilapidated courtyard.

A little girl with sallow skin but striking features was washing clothes in the yard.

He looks to be only eight or nine years old.

The basin was piled high with dirty clothes.

A little while later, two more little girls came back carrying large baskets on their backs, but they looked to be a few years older than the little girl.

The two older sisters' clothes didn't seem to have many patches, unlike the little girl's clothes which were mostly in good condition.

The scene shifts, and it's time to eat.

There is a little boy in the family, and only the man and the boy have dry rice in their bowls.

The other two girls at the table had porridge, but there were still grains of rice in it.

Only that little girl had pure porridge.

It's more like rice water than porridge.

There was also a plate of meat on the table.

Needless to say, the little girl could only eat vegetables.

Song Li's feelings were quite complicated.

Is this the legendary family that favors sons over daughters?

The scene shifts to winter again, and the little girl's hands are covered in chilblains, but she is still washing clothes in the water.

The scenes of the little girl's hardship made Song Li feel heartbroken.

She was puzzled, as the family didn't seem poor, because they could occasionally eat meat.

Of the family, only the little girl's clothes were tattered; the others' clothes were in pretty good condition.

Year after year goes by.

The little girl did something that finally convinced her parents. She started earning her own money to go to school, while still doing all the housework.

Song Li had never seen such a heartbreaking life even in TV dramas.

I've finally turned eighteen.

She's in high school now.

But one day, a stranger came to our house.

She didn't know what had happened.

Her parents arranged a marriage for her.

He accepted a dowry of 500 yuan.

Calling it a bride price is less accurate than calling it selling her.

Five hundred yuan was equivalent to a person's annual salary at that time, because a month's salary was only about forty yuan.

This group of people took her and several other girls to a rural area in Province C.

Because of the feng shui of that place, there are more men than women, so many men have to find wives from outside the area.

The little girl was shocked to hear that she was going to be sold to a family where several brothers would share one wife.

Thinking about this, the little girl was terrified.

Thinking of sneaking away.

Then an accident happened.

Looking back on the little girl's life, Song Li felt an overwhelming sense of pity.

This little girl's fate is so tragic, it's heartbreaking.

Both are children, but the little girl did not receive the same treatment as her brother, and was even treated far worse than her sister.

In fact, Song Li was very puzzled by all of this.

She could understand that her son was different, but she couldn't understand why her daughter was different.

In today's society, a cute little girl would probably be the apple of her parents' eye no matter where she is.

She should have enjoyed her parents' love and care, but instead she encountered so much hardship and injustice on her path to adulthood.

Song Li couldn't help but recall the old saying: "A hemp rope always breaks at its thinnest point, and misfortune always finds those who are unfortunate."

This phrase couldn't be more fitting for the little girl; she was like that fragile rope, easily broken under the weight of life's burdens.

Song Li's thoughts gradually became blurred, and her body grew heavier and heavier.

Before she knew it, she slowly closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

However, this sleep was not peaceful; various stories about little girls kept flashing through her mind, filling her dreams with pain and sorrow.

That painful life felt like I had experienced it firsthand.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

I don't know how much time has passed.

She finally woke up.

Open your eyes and look around.

This unfamiliar sense of era!

What kind of place is this?

In her surprise, she accidentally shook her head.

"Ouch...it hurts so much..."

Looking at the unfamiliar surroundings.

Earthen-walled houses.

Although she is also from the countryside.

But everything she saw when she was a child was better than this.

I finally managed to earn enough money to buy my own house. It's not big, but at least I have a place to call home!

I was sleeping soundly at home, how did I end up here?

Looking around, I wondered if I had been reborn into my childhood.

I've really watched too many short dramas.

But this house isn't the house I lived in when I was a child!

I took a deep breath.

Song Li wanted to find an answer, but he couldn't think of anything at all.

She looked down at her hands.

Her hands were covered in calluses. Although she had some calluses on her hands, there couldn't possibly be this many!

And those hands look so old-fashioned, you could say they're skin and bones.

There wasn't a single piece of meat.

This is not her hand.

Song Li had too many questions in her mind.

Just then, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman entered.

Looking at Song Li.

"Xidi, you're awake?" the woman said gently.

Song Li asked in confusion, "Who are you? Where is this?"

The woman immediately comforted him, saying, "Don't even think about running away. What the monkey said isn't entirely true. Although several brothers share one wife there, they aren't the kind of vicious families you'd find."

Song Li's head was about to explode as she listened to the woman's words. What was going on?

The more she listened, the less she understood!

Since the other party still thought she hadn't come to her senses, they said, "These days you need a letter of introduction to go out. Your household registration and letter of introduction are with us. Even if you run away, you won't be able to take a bus. If you go back, your parents will have to compensate us 1000 yuan. Since they could sell you for 500 yuan, how could they possibly redeem you for 1000 yuan!"

Song Li: Wait...

How come this is somewhat similar to the ending of the little girl in my dream?

And what era are we living in that we still need letters of introduction?

Song Li looked at the woman in front of her: "I...I think I hit my head yesterday, I'm a little dizzy. What year is this? Where am I?"

The woman looked puzzled: Could it be that he's lost his mind from the fall?

Please don't!
