Are you suggesting I inherit three wives' households? I'll marry my eldest brother and bec

The woman looked at the young Song Li in front of her: Of all these girls, this one was the most expensive. Although she is thin, her features are the most beautiful. She will be fine after some rest.

If he were stupid, how could he possibly negotiate a good price?

The woman said, "This is 1980, Lishui Town, Kaiyuan City, Province C. Your name is Song Xidi."

Song Li: It feels like it's getting dark.

Why is it Song Xidi instead of Da Xidi?

Song Li finally realized that she must have transmigrated into the body of a girl named Song Xidi in the 80s.

Combining everything in the dream, it must be that incredibly pitiful little girl.

Song Li's eyes immediately reddened.

Did she ultimately leave this cold and indifferent world?

Song Li couldn't tell whether the deep chill in her heart belonged to her or that little girl.

After a long while, Song Li slowly said, "Auntie, buying and selling people is illegal."

The woman smiled and said, "How could that be? We're just an intermediary introducing you to potential partners. Besides, we have your household registration, introduction letter, marriage certificate, and your mother's signature."

Song Li: Hehe...

This is not your average human trafficker.

He was an educated human trafficker.

As the saying goes, a rogue isn't scary; what's scary is a rogue with culture.

Song Li fell silent.

Then the woman said, "My name is Aunt Caihua. Don't be sad. Your original family didn't treat you like a human being either. If you're lucky when you remarry, you might meet someone who cares for you and is even better than your family!"

"I'll go out and get you some food."

The woman then left.

Song Li lay down, still thinking about...?

What's going on?

Why did she end up in this godforsaken place for no reason?!

It was utterly hopeless; no one could help us.

Because he hadn't thoroughly explored the territory, Song Li couldn't act rashly.

Song Li was very well-behaved every day.

Eating with everyone, even though it was just thin porridge and cornbread, was a little better than what she ate at home.

The others were relieved to see that Song Li had stopped causing trouble.

That night, Song Li stayed with several young girls.

After spending these past few days together, Song Li finally understood.

This is a small county.

Besides her, there were a few other girls here.

People come to look at the girls every day; all the other girls have already been sold.

They were all sold for eight or nine hundred.

Even if it's not particularly good-looking, it'll still sell for three or four hundred.

As for why these people want to buy wives...

It seems there's a feng shui problem with a nearby clan; very few girls are born, and most are sons.

Moreover, in that area, several brothers would share one wife.

This has been the case from ancient times to the present.

There are fewer and fewer girls.

So gradually it became even harder for men in that village to find wives.

That's why people would do this business, and at that point, human trafficking becomes illegal.

But what can you do when this human trafficker is educated?

Even if you call the police, they have IOUs and letters of commitment. You can leave, but you have to pay back the money.

After all, they only sell them for a few hundred. If you can come up with that money, they'll let you leave and even give you a household registration certificate.

But they are all children from poor families, how could they possibly come up with several hundred dollars!

As for Song Li! No one has bought any these past few days.

The main problem is that she is short, and those who buy women do so because they want to have sons.

The leader, nicknamed Monkey, thought that although Song Li was thin, his features were well-defined!

So I want to sell it for 1000.

Buyers felt that buying a beautiful baby that might not even guarantee fertility was not worthwhile.

She was left behind.

The only thing this group had any conscience about was that they didn't force them.

The main reason is that buyers also want virgins; if a woman isn't a virgin, the price will be much cheaper.

So they didn't do that.

All I can say is that they have some conscience, but not much.

There are two men here with Aunt Caihua, who are responsible for bringing people here and contacting buyers.

Song Li has gotten to know everyone over the past two days, watching one girl after another leave after she had just become acquainted with them.

Song Li was also worried that she would be sold to a bad family.

After all, her price isn't low, and it's uncertain whether she'll be bought by a buyer and wasted away.

At that moment, she truly hated her own sharp tongue.

That's good now...

It really takes coming to a place like this.

Since you're here, you should at least give me a cheat code!

hateful.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die.

Because no one has taken a liking to her these past few days.

Although some people were interested in her and others were willing to pay, the price alone made them hesitate.

She has to forge her own path; she can't afford to linger here.

She learned this from Aunt Caihua these past two days.

This is a county town.

There are three factories in the county.

A fabric factory, a winery, and a grain and oil processing plant.

There is also a supply and marketing cooperative.

Song Li's attempt to redeem herself by finding a job is definitely not going to work; there's no easy way out right now.

Besides, she left in a hurry.

So he hasn't graduated from high school yet, so he doesn't have a diploma, making it even more difficult to find a job.

Song Li wanted to take a chance for herself, so she suggested that Aunt Caihua take her out to see the world for herself.

Aunt Caihua was in a dilemma.

After all, what if it runs away if you take it out?

Later, Song Li had to persuade Aunt Caihua quite a bit before she finally agreed.

Because Song Li said that she had found a job and could pay 1200 to redeem herself.

Actually, she had no idea what to do, but she had no choice; if she didn't go out, she really wouldn't have a chance.

With her small arms and legs, she couldn't possibly win.

Calling the police is also a way to get your money back.

Then I took her back.

Going back would be like entering a den of wolves; it's better to take a chance on your own.

Song Li and Aunt Caihua searched for two days, but still couldn't find a job.

I also didn't find any stories about encountering a benefactor, as is often mentioned in novels.

It seems she's not destined to be the female lead; she doesn't have any special advantages.

There was only one unexpected incident: I saw a child choke on a candied hawthorn on the road.

Song Li performed the Heimlich maneuver on him.

But the child and her mother were dressed in even more tattered clothes than she was.

There was no way to ask her for help.

The mother and son were extremely grateful.

Song Li could only politely say it was alright.

Then they left.

evening.

Aunt Caihua looked at Song Li, who looked dejected, and comforted him, "Little Li! Don't worry, I can't guarantee that all the girls who come here to buy girls are good people, but I can guarantee that they won't be worse than your family."

Song Li looked up at Aunt Caihua: It's better than the original owner's house, but it's also worse!

She was worried about ending up in a bad family, where she would not only be treated like a slave, but also have to have children!

But what's the point of telling her?

She couldn't make the decision.

"Okay, Auntie."

After spending these few days together, Aunt Caihua also discovered that Song Li is a very good girl.

Moreover, she was exceptionally intelligent; otherwise, she wouldn't have suggested going out to find a buyer herself.

It's simply a matter of wanting to fight for the rest of my life.

Song Li returned to her room.

The three girls beside me were quiet.

Judging from the clothes she was wearing, you could tell that she was just as unpopular as she was.

After washing up, Song Li went to sleep looking dejected.

I don't know where I am.

Then he saw the two people beside him whispering, "What should we do?"

The other person said, "What can I do? It's all because you're always thinking about playing cards. Now look what's happened, you've messed things up."

"I didn't want to either! Wang Chao and Ma Han said they were short one player for mahjong, and they got impatient. I didn't know I'd summoned the wrong soul!"

The man in black said, "Things are getting worse and worse. If the King of Hell finds out, you'll be fried in oil until you're crispy on the outside and tender on the inside."

"Big brother, you have to help me!" the man in white said, sounding aggrieved.
