Chapter 470 The Tragic Two Women

After the onset of winter, even the only southern city in Henan Province experienced the unbearable suffering of frostbite and frozen ears due to the arrival of cold air.

This is the third winter since Tang Cuicui came to this remote mountain village. Three years have passed, and she has tried to escape time and time again, but she has never been able to get out.

Not only did he not escape, but he was also beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. And to make matters worse, he was repeatedly humiliated by those men.

Even though she is eight months pregnant, she still has to do housework, wash clothes, and cook during the day, and take care of others at night.

Tang Cuicui grew angrier the more she thought about it, and tears streamed down her face without her realizing it, until she heard a familiar voice in her ear.

"Stop crying, what's the use of crying? You still have to keep working after you've cried."

Tang Cuicui continued washing clothes mechanically by the stream without even looking up.

"You're one to talk, but what about yourself?"

Cao Amei, carrying her still-crying son on her back, squatted down near Tang Cuicui with a blank expression, clutching the wooden basin in her hands.

Isn't it amazing that these two people were sold to the same mountain village?

Compared to Tang Cuicui, Cao Amei was even more miserable. During the famine, she had originally fled back to her parents' home, but unexpectedly, she only stayed there for one night.

One night, her brother and sister-in-law, being inhuman, knocked her unconscious again and sold her back to the mountains.

Although the locations are different, what they have in common is that they still practice communal wives.

She had two sons with the family she was first sold to, and now here, she has had two more sons in three years.

It's ridiculous, isn't it? She's been with Tang Youtian for so many years, and she still can't have a son.

After being sold, she surprisingly gave birth to four sons in one go.

You could say she's had a tough time, and she certainly is, but she's also had her luck.

She had a difficult childbirth when she gave birth to her youngest son, and it took the two brothers, who were already quite old, enough money to buy her, this old woman.

They couldn't bear to see her die like that, so they carried her all the way to the county hospital.

Thankfully, she was taken to the hospital. Her life and the baby were saved, but her uterus was not and had to be removed.

From now on, she no longer needs to give birth, but she can still be used as a woman, and besides, the two brothers each got a son.

He was surprisingly satisfied, and treated her even better than before.

Knowing that going home would only mean being sold again, the two brothers were no better to her than they had been to the previous family or Tang Youtian.

So Cao Amei gave up the idea of ​​continuing to run, as her health was not as good as before.

All I need to do each day is cook good meals, take care of the children, and keep the home in order.

Just live one day at a time, accept your fate!

Three days after Cao Amei was sold, Tang Cuicui was also sold.

She was unlucky, having to serve men, but she was young and pretty, and several men were attracted to her.

But after running away several times, even her good temper was provoked, and she would get beaten up if she did anything that displeased them.

She gradually became obedient after being beaten, but Cao Amei knew that she had never stopped thinking about escaping.

"I advise you to stay here and live a simple life. At least you can eat meat here every few days."

You know there's a famine at home. If you run back, your parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law will sell you a second time if they need money.

Cao Amei herself is a living example. She sold it the first time, so why wouldn't she sell it a second time?

Therefore, Tang Cuicui did not doubt the truthfulness of her statement.

However, she was unwilling to spend her whole life in this dark and gloomy deep mountain forest.

She didn't want to serve four people at the same time; it was too terrible. For so many years, she hadn't slept through the night.

If it weren't for the fact that she was prone to illness during her period, and that illness would cost money, those guys wouldn't have let her off so easily.

Now that she's pregnant and no longer menstruating, he's become even more aggressive and has no intention of letting her off the hook.

A big belly doesn't matter; if they want, they can even do it from behind...

Tang Cuicui was as thin as a skeleton, her clothes hanging lightly on her body, and even though she was eight months pregnant, she could still sit down.

This clearly shows just how thin she was.

Cao Amei has no in-laws to serve, but Tang Cuicui does, especially the way her father-in-law looks at her—it's disgusting.

She didn't want to go home, but she still had to take care of the children. If she didn't go back on time, her wicked mother-in-law would curse her all over the village.

The wicked mother-in-law became unhappy when the four men treated her even slightly well.

What's more, she doesn't just have one father-in-law, she has three!

That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying!

She wanted to run away, but she couldn't. The people in this village were too united; if even one of them tried to escape, the whole village would come out to search for them.

Many of these out-of-town wives didn't know the way, and they would wander off and fall down the mountain, often getting killed by wild animals. Over the years, none of them had ever made it out alive.

There are only two paths to take: death or capture.

There was only one time when someone like Cao Amei was sent to the county hospital during childbirth; she was lucky to have met a kind person.

But what about her?

Endless darkness awaits her!

She didn't even have the right to cry at home; her wicked mother-in-law would beat her every time she saw her, and even wanted to call those three old men to beat her.

If it weren't for those old men having designs on her and not being able to harm her, she would have died long ago and wouldn't have been able to get pregnant.

Pregnant?

After washing the clothes, Tang Cuicui staggered to her feet, supporting her pregnant belly. Without saying goodbye to Cao Amei, she slowly walked home on her own.

Cao Amei's concerned voice came from behind, "Slow down, don't take the side paths, take the main road!"
