"This is outrageous! They're breaking the law!"

After listening to Yun Duo's brief explanation, the child angrily hissed and said, "People like that should be arrested and locked up in prison for proper reformation."

Hearing the child's words, Yun Duo suddenly felt as if she had grabbed something, and she grabbed the child's arm tightly, asking excitedly, "What? You just said it was illegal?"

Of course, in her previous life, the original owner's parents' actions were definitely illegal. However, the original owner's memories were too monotonous. Apart from working, being beaten and scolded, and being abused, there was basically nothing else. This made Yun Duo think that she had been reborn into a feudal society where "the father is the head of the family." She never expected that the original owner's parents' actions were also illegal in this world.

To be honest, although she had escaped, she was still completely lost. After all, given the original owner's age and physical limitations, she still didn't know what to do after escaping. The child's words were like opening a window for her, making her incredibly excited.

However, Yun Duo was unaware that the so-called rule of law in her current country was merely a formality. The child before her was only saying such things because he was still young and naive, having read related books and heard similar things, and thus believing it to be true.

"Of course it's illegal! We live in a new society where the rule of law applies!" the child declared confidently.

"That's great! Thank you so much! Really, thank you so much, you've helped me a lot." Upon receiving another positive answer from the child, Yun Duo was so excited she was almost incoherent. After a while, she continued, "Then could you tell me how to get to the county town?"

"You're going to the county town? Walking there?" The child looked Yunduo up and down with a suspicious gaze, completely disbelieving that she could walk to the county town by herself.

Yun Duo was so focused on the thought that 'there's really hope now' that she ignored the child's gaze. Hearing the child's words, she nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, go to the county town, find the 'government,' the Civil Affairs Bureau, and the 'Women's Federation,' and ask them to stand up for me. Even if they can't arrest my parents, they should at least give them a good talking-to, and then..."

"No, old habits die hard. I can't go back to that home; I'd probably be tortured to death there someday. Ideally, I should go to an orphanage..."

"Women's Federation? Civil Affairs Bureau?" The child was full of questions, looking at Yun Duo with confusion, and asked, "What are you talking about? I don't know we have such organizations. And... what did you say, welfare home? Oh, I know, you mean Tzu Chi Foundation, right?"

“No, that won’t work.” The child shook his head, looking at Yunduo with some sympathy, and said, “You have parents and relatives, but you can’t go into the Tzu Chi’s orphanage.”

Hearing the child's words, Yun Duo was dumbfounded. Her excited expression froze on her face before it could even fade.

"There's no Civil Affairs Bureau?"

"No."

"No Women's Federation?"

"No."

"No orphanage?"

"Yes, it exists, but you can't get in."

"I can't get in?"

"Yes, you can't get in."

Extreme disappointment finally caused Yun Duo to lose control of her emotions. She hissed at the child in front of her, "How dare you call yourselves a society governed by law if you don't even have these things?"

Cruelty is nothing more than giving hope and then taking it away, like pouring ice water on someone in the middle of a good time, leaving them chilled to the bone.

That's how the clouds feel right now.

Even though she has the soul of an adult living inside her, her current body is just a skin and bones of a child.

What should she do?

What could she do?

This is absolutely terrible...

Yun Duo instinctively hugged herself and squatted down, still tightly clutching half of a honeycomb covered in honey in her hand.

This is something that can save our lives; we can't lose it.
