I've seen it since I was a child. Every family is like this, every household in the village is like this.

Qi Ningzhu seemed to suddenly think of something bad and opened her mouth with gritted teeth.

"That's enough. You are the source of her suffering, so she hates you and treats you badly. She was driven crazy! She gave you flesh and blood! But you are not hers! Your village deserves to be eaten by ghosts!"

She said that in anger, and Yan Weiwan thought the same as she did, and walked forward to untie the chains on the woman.

The woman was covered in dirt. The moment she saw Yan Weiwan coming over, she started trembling and hugged herself, saying, "Don't hit me! Don't hit me!"

As soon as she touched it, the old woman came over, pushed her away, and then knelt down.

"Immortal, please don't do this. This is my family's affair. Can I not beat her less in the future? She is my daughter-in-law! If you let her go, do you want me, an old woman, to be alone with that half-born grandson? Do you want that child to be without a mother now? If so, the child will hate you when he grows up."

Every word she spoke was laced with blood. Ah Jin remained silent and turned his head to the side.

At the door, Bai Yunshu and Nan Lezhi watched all this, with dark expressions in their eyes.

Looking at the child, Yan Weiwan finally did not help him unlock the chain.

Finally, several people walked out. The woman looked at Qi Ningzhu and the others' backs and mustered up the courage to speak.

"Save me! Please save me! Please!"

Her voice was very soft, but it fell on Qi Ningzhu's and the others' hearts, so heavy that they couldn't even weigh it or pick it up.

Yan Weiwan turned around to look at her, nodded to assure her, and mouthed the words to her.

"Wait for us."

After a few people came out, Qi Ningzhu looked at the wedding character on the door which had not faded at all, suppressed his inner annoyance and asked.

"When did she marry your son?"

"Three months ago..."

Yan Weiwan was shocked when he heard this.

"Three months ago? How old is the child?"

The child in the rocking chair looks full-mooned no matter how you look at it.

The old woman suddenly spoke with a guilty conscience.

"Two months... The rice was cooked first, because there were several girls from the village who came here together, and the families discussed it together, and held a wedding banquet at the same time, which was also quite impressive."

Yan Weiwan grasped the key words.

"How many girls came here together? Are all the girls in your village kidnapped and lured here?!"

Yan Weiwan's voice suddenly became louder, which made the old woman's face turn pale and blue.

"Not all of them. Some of them came here on their own, and some were sent here by their parents. We all spent money. Many of them even spent their life savings to find a wife for their son. After all, most people only have one son..."

As soon as the old woman said this, she immediately thought of her son and started sobbing.

"I only have one son, but he's dead now. Immortal, please save us. Now there are only me and my daughter-in-law at home with a child. We have no source of income. I, a half-blind old woman, have to rely on weaving to support myself, and I have to raise a hungry child..."

As she spoke, she was about to kneel down again, but Qi Ningzhu quickly pulled her back.

"We'll check it out. Now, we're going to check out the rest..."

After they finished talking, they left, and Ajin took them to the homes of the remaining victims.

Several families were in similar condition, with weddings held in the past three months. Now only the elderly and the purchased daughter-in-law were left at home.

There was a house where, when Bai Yunshu and her friends went, the bought daughter-in-law was smiling and kept saying "it's good to die, it's good to die".

She was covered in wounds and looked badly beaten, but even so, she was still smiling and clapping, mumbling something.

"Good death, damn it, God has come to take you away, hahahahahahaha!"

Looking at her, Qi Ningzhu stuffed a small bottle of medicine for treating wounds into her hand.

The woman looked at it and suddenly began to laugh, tears falling from her eyes.

She clutched the medicine bottle tightly, as if it were a straw of hope, a piece of driftwood in a drowning river.

There is another special family, also a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.

But the daughter-in-law was not tied up. Instead, she sat at the door and selected dishes, occasionally asking her mother-in-law what she wanted for dinner.

The old woman was blind in one eye and lame in one leg. She sat on a stool, squinting in the sun. I answered all her questions patiently.

After her son died, her husband couldn't accept it for a while and passed away too.

That night, she and her daughter-in-law hugged their heads and cried, declaring that their suffering was finally over.

One of her eyes was blinded by her husband, and her legs were broken when she tried to escape.

After her son bought this daughter-in-law, she never made things difficult for her.

When her son died, she took out her little savings and gave them to her daughter-in-law.

"You are still young, unlike me, who is old, disabled, and unable to go out. I have wanted to go out since I was young, so why don't you fulfill this wish for me? Let's go, go far away from home in the night, and be careful of people's hearts."

But the daughter-in-law cried out, "Let's save money together and leave together."

When Bai Yunshu and the others came, both of them told the truth.

"I understand their pain, but I was sold to someone else by my own parents... so I have no home after I leave."

"I want to save money and take my grandmother away. She was deceived and I want to take her away from here, away from this cannibalistic place. But I have no money now, not enough for two people... The bastards in the village are always thinking about me, a widow."

She spoke lightly, brushing aside her own suffering.

Hearing that she was sold by her own parents, Qi Ningzhu's eyes were filled with pain, and she thought of her past.

But now she can't remember what her parents looked like. Compared to them, she is so lucky.

She made a promise.

"Once this is settled, I will clear the way for you and guide you. Go and look for your home. If you can't find it, you can be on your own. It's better than staying here."

The daughter-in-law smiled sweetly.

"Okay, then. Thank you, Immortal. I hope you can save my family. If you need my help, I will definitely do my best."

The last family is the family of the bride who was arranged to have a ghost marriage.

When Bai Yunshu and the others stepped into the yard, they heard bursts of noise coming from inside.

"Hey! Drink! Drink more. I didn't expect that dead person is worth so much money."

"Hahahaha, it's better to die than to be like a chaste woman at home. The girl was bought for only three taels of silver, but she was sold for thirty taels! The Ji family is really good at this!"

"Hey? Who are you? What are you doing here?"
