Chapter 489: Chapter 490: I want to go home1

Their village was poor, and outsiders simply did not want to marry into it, yet there were significantly more boys than girls in the village.

So, some families would grit their teeth and spend some money at the foot of the mountain to buy a young girl to raise as a child bride; it’s just a shame these days that there are fewer and fewer people out there selling daughters.

"Indeed! She’s even received education!" The middle-aged couple showed a proud expression, boasting.

The villagers’ eyes lit up at once: "Wow! She’s educated!"

In the mountain hollow, let alone a school, there isn’t even a literacy class.

Most people are illiterate, only able to do some simple counting. This is also why they want to get an educated child bride.

Upon hearing their conversation, Sanni instantly calmed down. They knew each other; they were part of the same gang!

"Must have cost quite a bit, huh?" A villager asked with a smile.

The middle-aged couple nodded: "Absolutely! Ten big circles!"

The crowd was taken aback— one hundred yuan was not a small sum!

The Zhang Family probably used up even their coffin funds for this child bride.

In the village, getting a wife usually cost a basket of eggs and a chunk of bacon, even if brought from the outside, it wouldn’t cost ten big circles!

But this educated girl was worth the price, and she could serve as a wife for both the elder and the younger brother, it was like buying two brides for one hundred yuan!

Calculated this way, it seemed reasonable!

While they were distracted with their chat, Sanni broke free and tried to run, but she was caught by the villagers after taking just a few steps.

"She’s nice but rather willful; you guys will need to discipline her well when you get home!" The man holding Sanni warned sternly.

If she ran away, the hundred yuan would be wasted!

The middle-aged couple, looking cheerful, did not seem angered: "She’s young. Being scared in a new place is normal; she’ll get used to it after a while."

They knew this too, but in the depths of these mountains and old forests, a little girl like her wouldn’t be able to run far.

They figured they’d try gentle approaches first, if that didn’t work, they would use the hard way.

The man didn’t say much else and handed Sanni over to the middle-aged couple.

They continued to lead Sanni home, looking pleased with themselves.

Along the road, the village was full of mud houses which looked even shabbier than the commune houses down the mountains. Villagers, young and old, men and women, were all wearing animal skins for warmth to different extents.

Upon arriving home, Sanni was shoved into a room.

She turned around to pound the door, hearing the sound of a lock from outside, she begged: "Please, let me go! My grandmother will pay back the one hundred yuan! I don’t want to stay here! I want to go home!"

"We don’t want money, just a daughter-in-law, Sanni! Settle down here, from now on, this is your home, your mother will cook for you!" Granny Zhang coaxed from outside the door.

She liked Sanni very much. Sanni had a sturdy build, one look and you could tell she’d be good for work, and for giving birth in the future!

At this moment, a boy of about ten years old ran over from afar, hearing the commotion, he curiously peered into the room and asked, "Mum, who’s in the room?"

"The girl inside is your eldest brother’s wife. When you grow up, she’ll be your wife!" Granny Zhang said gleefully, patting the boy’s head.

"Okay!" The boy happily agreed, not finding anything odd.

Because some of the men in the village also had wives bought from elsewhere, he didn’t feel it was strange.
