Chapter 1194: Chapter 1193 Encountering Zhou Siyu 1

A week quickly passed, and the old Mr. He and Ruan Feng decided to set Shen Mianmian and He Nan’s wedding date for October 1st.

At this time, Lu Siyuan was abroad with friends, observing the situation in F Country. Upon learning about the wedding date, he promised to return a week earlier. It was Lu Siyuan’s first visit to F Country, and he was shocked by everything here. Compared with developed countries, he felt that the economic level back home needed improvement; once he arrived in F Country, he suddenly felt that his homeland was a paradise.

Here, people have to walk several miles to the river to fetch water, the distinctions between the rich and poor are stark, particularly in some backward tribes, where a man could legally have several wives, which he found incredible.

But it must be said, the land here is fertile, and engaging in agricultural activities like farming is indeed profitable.

The mindset of people here is also different from those back home; they never think of saving money. Most of them are rather lazy; they don’t have much money, yet they can afford to marry two or three wives.

Lu Siyuan took note of everything here, planning to share it with Shen Mianmian and Yang Xiaoxi upon returning home.

They visited several tribes, and one day, as the local guide took them to a particularly undeveloped tribe, a friend travelling with them suddenly exclaimed, "That looks like someone from our country."

Lu Siyuan looked in the direction he was pointing, and saw a woman being beaten, standing out in a crowd of Black people with her skin yellowish due to prolonged exposure to the sun, her frail figure looking particularly pitiful.

"Stop."

Lu Siyuan shouted, and immediately ran over, and the other companions followed suit.

The guide shouted something in the local dialect, which Lu Siyuan didn’t understand, but the few Black men stopped their assault and stepped aside to watch.

The woman on the ground, upon hearing the shout of ’stop’, appeared as if she saw a savior, her whole body suddenly looked up, and seeing the person coming, her pupils dilated, seemingly in disbelief, as if in a dream.

"Zhou Siyu?"

Lu Siyuan was also stunned to see Zhou Siyu sitting on the ground; he had heard that Zhou Siyu had gone to F Country with a Black man, but he never expected her to end up in such a state, and to meet him in such a scenario.

Once Zhou Siyu regained her senses, she grabbed onto Lu Siyuan’s legs as if clinging to a lifesaver, "Lu Siyuan, save me, please save me, I want to go back home, I don’t want to stay here anymore, the people here are insane, it’s too horrifying."

Five years ago, she came to this place full of expectations with her boyfriend, never imagining that it wasn’t paradise, but hell. They took her passport and ID cards and dumped them, then brought her to this godforsaken place.

All the promises were lies; after tormenting her for months, they sold her to someone else. To date, she’s been sold seven or eight times and has given birth to three children.

The women who were beating her were her current husband’s other wives. They forced her to accompany local men to earn money. Any resistance was met with severe beating, and though she had been complying, recently she discovered she was pregnant again, feared complications, and dared not continue. They beat her again.

She thought she was going to be beaten to death, and never imagined she would encounter Lu Siyuan, knowing that if she wanted to return home, she could only rely on Lu Siyuan.
