Chapter 1819: Chapter 1819: Someone, Save Me Please

She had intended to find a place nearby to buy some land and live her days out.

Little did she know, she would encounter a very handsome young master on the road who, by some cruel twist of fate, took a liking to her, openly declaring he wanted to take her back to his residence to marry her.

After spending a few days with the young master on the road, she became completely enchanted by the man.

It wasn’t until she was drugged, robbed of all her silver and her ox cart, and sold to a ’tooth house,’ that she sobered up and realized she had been deceived.

Oh, how she regretted it!

But by then it was too late for regrets; she had already been sold.

The madams in the tooth house divided the girls into several groups, based on their looks. Because of the bullying she endured at the tooth house that left her pale as if she were seriously ill, she was sorted into the lowest group.

Then, she was dragged to this borderland.

Latter, she was bought by the same man from before, for ten silver taels.

That was all the man’s fortune.

Originally, she had no idea, but the man himself said that he had spent all his silver on her, so from then on, he needed to "earn back" those ten taels through her.

After that, she was completely violated by the man.

For three months, she was locked in a room, bound with ropes every day, just because the man wanted her to get pregnant first and bear him a son.

He even directly told her that once she bore him a son, he would let other men from the village come and lie with her too.

For every child she bore for the men in the village, the man could earn one to two taels of silver.

A son would bring in two taels, a daughter only one.

When she first heard this, she was scared witless, wanting to run, but utterly unable to escape!

What could she do but despairingly live out each day, being beaten and scolded day after day?

Every night was filled with her deepest regrets; every time she closed her eyes, she could remember the times at home, eating hot meals and drinking meat soup.

How long had it been since she last experienced days like that?

How could she have been so foolish to escape such a good home, only to end up in her current plight!

"Someone, please save me."

...

In Yang Family Village, Yang Lin’s parents’ home.

With the prospect of soon receiving five hundred silver taels, which would allow him to marry the two women carrying his children, Yang Lin’s uncle was overjoyed, and he went to town to buy several catties of pork.

Mother Yang cooked a large pot of braised pork and stood in the main room where five people were eating.

"Mom, I want to eat meat too."

Outside the main room, a little girl swallowed a mouthful of saliva, smelling the aroma of the braised pork, and called out to the woman working in the yard.

But before the woman could answer her, a stick was thrown out from the main room, nearly hitting her.

"Go away, get far away from here, you cheap goods don’t even dream of eating meat—no way!"

The shrill voice came out from the main room; it was Mother Yang’s voice. She had never had any regard for these daughters.

"Come here, Cuihua, Meixiang, eat, eat more, you both are carrying babies after all, you can’t starve. Eat, the more you eat the better, in the future give me two big, plump boys!"

Her voice changed, then she looked cheerfully at the two women sitting opposite her and spoke to them.

Feeling that just talking wasn’t enough, she stretched her chopsticks into the bowl of braised meat and fetched two large pieces for the two women.
