No one could compensate Su Ran for the harm she suffered. She could only bear it silently and lick her wounds by herself.
Even if Chen Jiu died a hundred times or ten thousand times, it would be meaningless.
"Later, I went on a hunger strike, refusing to eat or drink. His mother came to persuade me, saying, 'A woman will always get married. It doesn't matter who she marries. You're in this state now. Even if you leave, who would want a slut like you? Just stay like that!'
"Later I found out that she was also trafficked here, and had been trafficked here for many years. She said she had been in the same situation before, and now she has accepted her fate."
"Bah!" Wen Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this, and spat to the side, saying, "Idiot! Are you playing PUA here?"
She held Su Ran's shoulders with both hands and said seriously, "Su Ran...you must not have such negative thoughts."
"She's a fucking slut! You're the victim. Don't let her words make you feel inferior to others."
Jiang Yan also echoed, "That's right, don't listen to her."
Wen Wan earnestly advised, "She is the saddest one. She is clearly a victim herself, but because of the so-called... acceptance of fate? She helps her son become the perpetrator."
"I don't want to say anything to her. After all, she has also experienced pain and she is also a victim. But even if she accepts her fate, she can do nothing. Even if she just watches coldly, she shouldn't say such things to you."
Su Ran looked at her and nodded. "At one point, I also had that thought. I felt that I couldn't get out and that I should accept my fate."
"But I can't do it. I can't accept my fate no matter what. I want to get out! I haven't stopped thinking about getting out of this mountain for a single day!"
After she finished speaking, she laughed self-deprecatingly, and then continued: "I have tried many ways. Once, the village chief came here, and I tried to tell him that I was abducted!"
"I even tempted him with money. I said, as long as you send me back, I will give you as much money as you want! I have money!"
"But he turned a blind eye. Later I realized that everyone in the village tacitly accepted that the buying and selling of women was normal and legitimate."
Jiang Yan slammed the table in anger. "Acquiescence? Who gave them the right to acquiesce? This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this."
"This village chief has absolutely no conscience! Bah!"
Wen Wan couldn't help but sneer. This village chief was really a joke. He knew the law and understood it, but he still broke it and pretended to turn a blind eye. It was really a joke that such a person could become the village chief.
"No matter what I do, it's useless. No one cares about me." Su Ran looked ahead with a dull look.
"After Chen Jiu knew that I had complained, he beat me up severely. It hurt so much! It really hurt! All my internal organs hurt. I have never felt such pain before!" She shed another tear as she spoke.
Wen Wan gently wiped away her tears and wanted to comfort her, but she couldn't say anything. All she felt in her heart was heartache.
Su Ran held his forehead in pain and then said, "Then I wanted to commit suicide. I thought that if I died, I would be free and there would be no more pain."
"But I still couldn't give up! The moment I cut my wrists, I thought of many people, my grandma, my friends, and my fans."
"I was unwilling to die like this. I hadn't made them pay for it yet! Later, they found out I had cut my wrists, so they sent me to a clinic for treatment."
Jiang Yan, who was standing by, couldn't help crying. What happened to Su Ran was so heartbreaking that she really couldn't hold it back any longer.
Wen Wan only felt that she had become numb from the heartache. This deep sense of powerlessness accompanied her, and she could do nothing but listen.
Su Ran continued, "Then I pretended to be submissive for a while, hoping to confuse him, and then I looked for an opportunity to escape."
"But I can't run away. As long as the villagers see me running away, they will collectively help Chen Jiu to catch me back."
"Later I found out that this was their unspoken rule, which had been in place for a long time. Over the years, no trafficked person has ever been able to escape."
Wen Wan was so angry that she clenched her fists tightly, her nails almost digging into her flesh. She didn't even dare to think about how many girls had been sold here and suffered over the years?
It's not just here, it's the same in other places, right?
"If he catches me, I will be severely beaten. The most terrifying thing is... I am pregnant." Having said this, Su Ran lowered her head expressionlessly.
"They are not human beings. Even when I had a difficult birth, they were unwilling to send me to the hospital because they thought the surgery was too expensive and it would be more cost-effective to save me than to buy another one."
"He said, 'If I die, I die. The worst that can happen is they can just cut open my stomach and take the baby out.'"
"At that moment, I really felt that in their eyes, women were not human beings, but animals that could be bought and sold."
Su Ran recalled the scene at that time and said, "When I was conscious, I was thinking, I can't die! I must see them pay the price with my own eyes, then I can die in peace!"
After a pause, she laughed at herself, and then continued, "I don't know if God heard my voice, but I miraculously survived."
Wen Wan felt sad when she knew the truth, but since she had agreed, she would definitely not tell Su Ran the truth.
"I gave birth to a girl. Because I hurt my body during giving birth to her, I couldn't have children anymore. They thought I was useless and locked me in that dark room." Thinking of that dark life, Su Ran was in so much pain that she wanted to go crazy.
Wen Wan didn't know what to say, so she could only hold her hand silently.
Su Ran pulled her hair in pain, then said angrily, "I will never recognize that child. She is my shame! The shame of my whole life!"
"But... I haven't seen her since I gave birth to her. Maybe Chen Jiu thought she was a girl and a waste of money, so he gave her away."
"If you find her, don't give her to me. You can do whatever you want with her. Just pretend I never gave birth to her, okay?"
Wen Wan sighed, then agreed: "Okay."
Although the child was innocent, Su Ran simply couldn't accept it, so she gave in to her wish. The best outcome was that they would forget each other.
But no matter how she thought about it, she was still angry. These people were simply sick.
He can't find a wife, so he buys a woman from outside. When she gives birth to a girl, he thinks she is a waste and gives her away directly. He is really sick!
But you’re also right, this village doesn’t have a normal ecological cycle, how can it be normal?
Just when she was angry, she suddenly felt a strong yin energy coming towards them.
