"Hmm." Madam Yun Qi nodded, then asked, "Since it was your own idea, do you know what dangers a single girl like you might encounter when she goes out alone?"
"I..." Yang Damei lowered her head and rubbed her toes uncomfortably for a while before saying softly, "I don't know, but... no matter what danger I encounter, I'm not afraid. Even if it's dangerous, it's better than staying at home and waiting to die."
Yun Qi shook her head and tried to persuade her, "Could it be that you're overthinking things and scaring yourself? Given your family's situation, even if your parents don't expect you to take care of them in their old age, they should at least expect you to look after your brothers when they get old. Logically speaking, they wouldn't be so heartless. Could it be a misunderstanding?"
"It's not a misunderstanding!" Yang Damei's tone suddenly became intense, and she almost couldn't suppress the resentment she felt towards Yun Duo. She held back for a long time before finally managing to suppress all her venom and not reveal anything. After suppressing it, she continued, "This time, my dad is really determined to sell me to some man. My mom just said one word for me, and my dad beat her... I begged my mom, but all she did was cry."
"Moreover, I also know that even if I am lucky enough to escape this time, I will still want to do it again."
“He scolded me at home, saying that Yunduo and I are the same, but Yunduo can help the family earn so much money, while I can only consume his rice and grain. He said I am useless, that he can't count on me now, and he can't count on me in the future. He said it would be better to sell me for a good price and save more for Erwa.”
"Of course, I know that Yun Duo can make money, that's her skill, and I don't think I have that skill... But my dad... he always gets angry and upset about this. The better your lives are, the harder my life is."
“If things continue like this, I’m really scared… scared that I’ll become jealous, scared that one day I’ll become twisted, that I’ll no longer be myself, or even human. What difference would there be between me and being dead?”
"Grandma Yun, I really want to get out of here and find a way to make a living. If you and Yun Duo can help me this time, no matter what happens to me in the future, I will only be grateful to you. If I encounter danger or have a hard time, I will not hold any resentment towards you. If I am fortunate enough to live a good life, I will come back to thank you."
"You are an elderly person, and you came from outside with Grandpa Yun. You have more experience than I have. You have lived through more things than I have heard. If possible, could you please teach me how to avoid danger?"
Yun Qi was not a heartless person; in fact, she was quite soft-hearted. Therefore, after hearing Yang Damei put it this way, she could no longer bring herself to refuse.
"Alright, young lady of the Yang family, although I, this old woman, don't know much, I am, as you said before, an old woman, and I have experienced more things than you. I can indeed tell you what I know about the things outside."
"As long as you're willing to listen."
“I’m willing!” Yang Damei replied immediately with a 'surprise'. She knew very well that Yun Qishi’s words meant that she had already tacitly agreed. If Yun Duo “helped” her, at the very least, her finances would be secure.
