A smile appeared on Shen Jialiang's delicate face, but the smile looked very distant.
“We are indeed not locals, but my wife’s ancestors were locals. We will come to offer incense.”
After Shen Jialiang finished speaking, he looked at Chen Jiayi beside him.
He reached out and gently took Chen Jiayi's hand.
"Let's go! Our family is probably almost done, and they might already be waiting for us."
The people behind them exchanged glances, and seeing that they had no intention of meddling, they didn't stop them.
When Dingxiang saw Chen Jiayi about to leave, she immediately knelt down helplessly, her face full of sorrow and sadness.
"Mom, it's me, Dingxiang! The problems between you and Dad have nothing to do with me. You can't treat me like this!"
She remembered!
Dingxiang remembered everything!
She remembered how she treated Chen Jiayi in her previous life, and she also remembered how she died.
Although she didn't know how Chen Jiayi would choose to be different in this life compared to the previous one, Ding Xiang dared not show any sign of regaining her memories at this moment.
Chen Jiayi, standing before her, remained silent, her brows furrowed as she gazed at Dingxiang, who was so different from her previous life.
In her previous life, she raised Dingxiang under her wing, spoiling her with utmost affection.
From childhood to adulthood, Dingxiang has always had the best food, clothing, and household items in the family.
She had no sons and raised only one daughter, which led to many people in the village gossiping about her.
But Chen Jiayi never cared! In other matters, Chen Jiayi could spoil Dingxiang, but not when it came to studying.
As a result, because Chen Jiayi forced Dingxiang to study, Dingxiang developed a strong aversion to herself.
But if Chen Jiayi doesn't force Dingxiang to study, what will happen to a beautiful woman in a small town who has no education, no background, and no brains? Doesn't Dingxiang know?
Lianhua Town wasn't immune to trafficking of women and children before, but things improved significantly after stricter enforcement.
Now, lilacs are being sold to these rural villages...
But Chen Jiayi knew even better that if she hurt her, she would definitely pay a heavy price.
Chen Jiayi's mind raced for a moment, then she decided it wasn't worth it.
Her voice was gentle. "Let's go!"
Perhaps it was Chen Jiayi's overly calm tone that made Dingxiang feel abandoned.
She couldn't accept it immediately and stood in front of Chen Jiayi, kowtowing frantically.
"Mom, I was wrong! I was wrong!"
"Mom, please, please get me out of here!"
Seeing Chen Jiayi's unmoved departing figure, Dingxiang felt a surge of fear!
Several men behind her stepped forward and pinned Dingxiang down tightly.
Dingxiang was slapped hard by one of the men, his tone filled with malice.
"You bitch, how dare you run away?"
Dingxiang didn't want to go back to Shankakali! She knew perfectly well what she would face if she went back.
Dingxiang closed her eyes and shouted at Chen Jiayi's departing figure.
I know where your child is!
Chen Jiayi paused in her steps, her body stiffening for a moment.
Then, Chen Jiayi glanced apologetically at Shen Jialiang beside her.
Shen Jialiang remained calm and said nothing.
He spoke gently, "Jiajia, do whatever you want. I will always support you."
Tears welled up in Chen Jiayi's eyes, then she turned around resolutely.
"I'm taking this person with me!"
The group of people who were originally preparing to leave with Dingxiang scoffed disdainfully upon hearing Chen Jiayi's words.
"Sure, three thousand yuan! Not a penny less!"
Chen Jiayi frowned and glanced at Dingxiang, her tone very calm.
"Fifteen thousand, if you don't want to sell, then forget it."
The people who were about to bid were immediately speechless upon hearing Chen Jiayi's words.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not buy it at all. After whispering among themselves for a while, they finally reached an agreement.
"two thousand!"
Chen Jiayi turned and left without the slightest hesitation.
If the other party makes a move, Chen Jiayi and Shen Jialiang are both capable of protecting themselves, but it's uncertain whether they can win the fight!
The group was stunned when they saw Chen Jiayi turn around and leave without hesitation.
One of them reacted quickly, "Okay! Fifteen hundred!"
When Chen Jiayi heard that the other party had agreed, she immediately stopped walking.
Finally, Chen Jiayi gave them the money.
She smiled and said, "This is all the money I have. If you're not willing to budge, then there's really nothing I can do. I can't help you."
Dingxiang breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Chen Jiayi had bought her.
These people spent 800 to buy her, and now they're making so much money!
Dingxiang rubbed her wrist in pain. After confirming that her wrist was okay, she looked at Chen Jiayi with teary eyes, about to pour out her grievances, but Chen Jiayi looked at Dingxiang with cold eyes.
Although Dingxiang didn't like this mother, she knew clearly that only Chen Jiayi was truly good to her!
In his previous life, not long after Chen Jiayi died, Ding Haowen's company ran into problems. In order to solve these problems, Ding Haowen simply gave her to a customer, just to resolve the issues facing the Ding family.
Unable to accept it, Dingxiang chose to commit suicide.
But for some reason, after waking up, I was in a state where the device had just been turned on.
Not only was his mind completely blank, but he also couldn't remember any of his memories related to his previous life.
If Dingxiang hadn't known that she would be their wife in two years, and hadn't been afraid of living that kind of life, she might have taken the risk and run away when she saw someone. She might have been taken back and beaten half to death by those people by now.
Their journey back was very quiet, and Chen Jiayi didn't speak to Dingxiang at all.
Dingxiang would steal glances at Chen Jiayi every now and then.
She opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end, she swallowed her words back down her throat.
In her past life, she was the one who wronged her mother...
Chen Jiayi's life has changed so much from her previous life, perhaps because she has also been reborn.
So just now, Dingxiang chose to gamble.
Thankfully, she made the right bet!
Chen Jiayi's expression remained cold throughout her descent down the mountain.
She wasn't in the mood to talk to Dingxiang!
Shen Jialiang, who was standing to the side, did not ask her any questions about the child.
This, on the contrary, made Chen Jiayi feel somewhat uneasy...
When Chen Jiayi and her group had reached a certain point, they could see a group of people offering incense at the foot of the nearby mountain from this location.
Lan Meixuan was still very emotional, and Chen Jiayi thought that their relationship was not over yet.
Chen Jiayi stopped and looked at Dingxiang with a cold gaze. After a short while, she raised the question that had been bothering her.
"Dingxiang, where is my child?"
When Chen Jiayi asked that question, Ding Xiang knew that she had made the right bet.
She took a deep breath and looked at Chen Jiayi with reddened eyes.
"Chen Jiayi, your child was actually sold by Ding Haowen long ago!"
Little Dingxiang already knew that Chen Jiayi's child had been sold.
How could Ding Haowen possibly let Chen Jiayi's child live a good life...?
