The little boy watched helplessly as the slave trader was about to take his little sister away!
He kept peering into the house.
They placed their only hope in the person inside the house.
He could only keep kowtowing to Liu.
He kept hitting his forehead until it bled, but he didn't stop...
Lying on the ground, Lin Yan could only hear a chattering sound in her ears.
The incessant crying gave her a splitting headache.
She read a novel last night.
Dissatisfied with the author's portrayal of the tragic fates of the cannon fodder characters, she "communicated" with the author for a long time in the comments section.
She was so angry that her chest ached all night.
So much so that when he was preparing to carry out his mission the next day, he suddenly suffered a heart attack and died...
An outstanding special forces soldier.
I was so angry at a novel that I almost died...
How embarrassing!
She rubbed her throbbing temples, slowly opened her eyes, and looked around blankly.
All that could be seen were earthen houses that let in drafts from all sides.
The only piece of furniture in the room was a table that was missing an arm and had a limp leg.
The entire house was empty and destitute.
Poor! So poor!
This was Lin Yan's first impression of this home.
Wait, something's not right!
Wasn't she so angry she died?
Has she come back to life?!
"Ouch, that hurts!"
Suddenly she clutched her head and cried out.
Then a memory that didn't belong to her entered her mind.
She time-traveled!!
Moreover, she transmigrated into the novel she was reading.
It was a simple-minded peasant girl with the same name as her.
However, the original owner was only seventeen years old, a full ten years younger than her.
Fortunately, although the original owner was mentally challenged.
But sometimes fools are lucky; she was incredibly strong from a young age.
Of course, she wasn't mentioned in the book; she was just cannon fodder.
The little boy outside has very pointed ears.
Upon hearing his older sister's muttering voice, he quickly shouted into the house:
"Big sister! Come out quickly, little sister is about to be sold by the milkmaid!"
Little sister? Big sister?
Lin Yan remembered; these were the original owner's younger brother, Lin Muyan, and younger sister, Lin Yu.
Ignoring her headache, she scrambled to her feet and rushed out.
As soon as she stepped out of the house, she saw the slave trader carrying her younger sister onto an oxcart.
She ran over in a few big strides.
He stretched out his leg and kicked the slave trader right in the chest!
The man was kicked several steps away.
"Waaaaah..."
Damn human traffickers!
To prevent his little sister from crying, he actually tied a rag in her mouth.
Lin Yan untied the rags from her clothes, picked her up, and carried her into the house.
"Big sister, the slave trader has my sister's indenture!"
The little boy suddenly remembered what Liu had just handed to the slave trader.
Lin Yan gave the little boy an approving look.
The original owner's younger brother was quite clever.
Don't let us down at crucial moments.
The slave trader, still reeling from being kicked to the ground, saw Lin Yan walking towards him step by step.
The expression on her face was like that of a demon from the underworld...
Before she could make any move, the slave trader tremblingly pulled out the indenture from his chest and threw it over:
"Take it, take it! What bad luck! I'm not buying the person anymore, give me back my twenty taels of silver!"
This girl is too strange.
She doesn't look fat at all, so how come she's so strong!
After she kicked him, he was in so much pain that he could barely breathe.
Lin Yan took the contract of sale and looked at it. The dense traditional Chinese characters made her head ache even more.
Fortunately, she had taken a semester of calligraphy classes during her freshman year of college.
It's understandable, though.
After confirming that everything was correct, she tore the indenture to shreds.
Looking down at the human slaves on the ground:
"Silver? Go find whoever you just gave the silver to, why are you coming to me! Do you want to get kicked again?"
After the slave trader was kicked to the ground, Liu planned to sneak away with the silver.
Although her granddaughter is simple-minded, she's not someone to be trifled with...
Lin Yan picked up a stone from the ground, weighed it in her palm, and then suddenly struck Liu Shi behind the knee.
She used all her strength!
Liu was caught off guard and attacked.
She immediately fell to her knees, groaning in pain and unable to hold back her curses:
"You little slut, do you even know your place? I'm your grandmother! How dare you lay a hand on me? I'll sell you off!"
"Ha! I don't have a grandmother like you who would sell her granddaughter for personal gain. If you want to sell me, you'd better see if you have the ability."
"Don't steal my money! This is my money, mine! I sold those two little bitches to you, get out of my way..."
Lin Yan stood aside, coldly watching as the silver stuffed into Liu's chest was rudely snatched back by the slave trader.
She carried her younger sister in one arm and led her younger brother by the hand with the other as they returned to the courtyard.
Once the door was closed, the noise outside was shut out.
Lin Yu is only five years old. After experiencing the kidnapping incident, she was already terrified.
She buried her face in Lin Yan's arms and cried.
Lin Muyan is already ten years old, and he's become bolder.
He raised his head and looked at Lin Yan uncertainly:
"Big sister, are you...you're not stupid?"
"You little bitch, open the door! Open the door!"
The knocking on the door interrupted her thoughts.
Ha, you old hag!
How dare you come here to cause trouble?
Perfect timing! She was just looking for a place to vent her anger!
After gently placing the crying-sleepy Lin Yu on the bed and covering her with a blanket, Lin Yan turned around and answered Lin Muyan:
"Yes, I'm not stupid anymore. Grandma pushed me just now and I bumped my head, but I'm fine now. You don't have to be afraid anymore, your eldest sister can protect you. Little brother, stay inside and don't go out. Go to the kitchen and put some wood ash on the wound on your forehead. I'm going to go see Grandma."
Today, their mother, Ye Lan, returned to her parents' home to beg for money.
Their father worked in town and only came home for four days a month.
That's why their mothers dared to come and sell their younger sisters when there were no adults at home today.
Lin Yan was furious!
That old hag is so vicious!
If she had sold Lin Yu to be a maid, or even to be a child bride, she wouldn't have resented her so much.
But she actually sold such a young girl to a brothel as a "slim horse" just to get a few more taels of silver!
The court is in turmoil, with officials and merchants colluding.
Therefore, brothels and entertainment venues are doing exceptionally well.
The practice of raising skinny horses, in particular, was rampant!
These bred "skinny horses," in order to maintain their thin physique, never ate a full meal in their entire lives, and had extremely short lifespans.
A top-tier young woman with exceptional luck, once properly trained, can marry a merchant as a concubine.
Most of the "thin horses" (young girls) could only become prostitutes.
If Lin Yu were sold into a brothel, her life would be ruined!
Lin Yan grew angrier the more she thought about it, wishing she could kill the old hag with her own hands!
Although the original owner's two younger siblings were young, they doted on her, their eldest sister.
The original owner was also a good child.
Because he was blocking Liu's way, she accidentally pushed him, causing him to hit his head and die.
Now that she has inherited the original owner's body, she should take good care of her younger siblings.
We can't let her leave in peace!
Just as she was about to open the door, her sleeve was tightly grabbed by a small hand.
"Big sister, don't go!"
