Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Before Meng Weiwei could open her eyes, she smelled a pungent smell.
She opened her eyes and found herself in the arms of an unfamiliar one-eyed old man. She immediately screamed,
One-eyed Li was almost deafened by her earth-shattering voice.
He slapped her b.u.t.t hard. “Behave yourself. You’re mine now. It’s useless to run!”
Meng Weiwei had been in contact with Wu Hao for so long, but Wu Hao had never touched a finger of hers.
Meng Weiwei was so frightened that her face turned pale. She punched
One-eyed Li with all her might. “Pervert, put me down, put me down!!!”
One-eyed Li’s leg was not mobile to begin with. Meng Weiwei struggled with all her might, but he could not hold her steadily and could not be bothered to hug her. He let go and threw Meng Weiwei to the ground heavily. He said gloomily, “I’m your master now. If you dare to misbehave again, believe it or not, I’ll settle you now and rent you out to receive customers every day to earn money!”
Along the way, there were many men who were eyeing Meng Weiwei covetously. Fortunately, she was safe with Wu Hao protecting her.
But it was different now. She had already been sold to One-eyed Li. One-eyed Li was her master. It was legitimate for her to receive guests on the way, and the bailiffs would not care.
Meng Weiwei was so frightened that her entire body was trembling. She shouted desperately, “Help! Help! Father, Mother! Come and save me!”
Her heart-wrenching roar made One-eyed Li furious. “You don’t know how to appreciate favors! I’ll deal with you now!”
One-eyed Li reached out to tug at Meng Weiwei ‘s clothes. Meng Weiwei retreated in fear and was pulled back.
‘Wu Hao, where are you! Ahhh—”
She struggled with all her might. One-eyed Li was a man after all, and he did manual labor all year round. He slapped her a few times, and Meng Weiwei’s delicate face became visibly swollen. “Behave yourself, or I’ll break your legs!”
Meng Weiwei shed tears of despair and kept begging for mercy. “Please let me go! I’ll give you money, let me go! ‘
At this moment, she felt regret and hatred for Bai Wutong.
“Brother Hao, come and save me—wuwuwu—
The next second, Meng Weiwei’s slightly noisy mouth was covered by a rag.
When a few soldiers heard the cry for help, they walked over. Meng Weiwei struggled to break free from One-eyed Li’s grip, but she could not cry out. She cried and looked at them pitifully for help.
The leader frowned. “He humiliated a good woman in broad daylight. Arrest him!”
They could tell at a glance that she was not someone One-eyed Li could touch.
One-eyed Li was still very afraid of the soldiers. He smiled bitterly and pinched Meng Weiwei’s delicate wrists. He took out Meng Weiwei’s indenture with one hand. “Brother, I just bought this wife. I’m not taking advantage of a good woman. I just couldn’t hold it in for a moment. I won’t dare to do it again during the day.”
When the leader saw the contract in black and white, he immediately looked at Meng Weiwei in surprise.
Meng Weiwei looked pitiful, but it was written in black and white. The soldiers were helpless.
He could only remind One-eyed Li repeatedly not to behave indecently in the day before turning around and leaving.
The soldiers turned around and left. Meng Weiwei’s tears fell as she fell into despair again.
One-Eyed Li stopped touching Meng Weiwei, but he was afraid that she would find an opportunity to escape, so he pulled out a belt and tied her hands firmly.
One-Eyed Li pulled Meng Weiwei and walked forward. Wu Mengyao and Xiao Huan gathered firewood together. When they saw this scene, their eyes widened.
After confirming that the woman being dragged by One- Eyed Li was indeed Meng Weiwei, Wu Mengyao threw down the firewood and hurriedly found the depressed Wu Hao. “Brother, go and see Meng Weiwei.’
Although Wu Mengyao did not like the tricky and domineering Meng Weiwei, she believed that her silly brother would definitely be sad if anything happened to Meng Weiwei.
Wu Hao’s heart ached. He waved his hand. “I’ve already promised Father that I won’t care about her anymore.”
Wu Mengyao said anxiously, “Meng Weiwei was tied up by a man. Even so, aren’t you going to care?’
As soon as he said that, Wu Hao turned around. ‘What did you say?”
Wu Mengyao said, “Hurry up and take a look! I don’t know what’s going on either.”
Wu Hao quickly ran in Wu Mengyao’s direction. At a glance, he saw a girl who he treated like a treasure being dragged like a rag doll that had lost its soul.
Wu Hao was furious. He rushed over and punched the corner of One-Eyed Li’s eye.
One-Eyed Li screamed. Before he could fight back, he was pressed to the ground by Wu Hao.
The battle between One-Eyed Li and Wu Hao attracted the patrolling soldiers agam.
The soldiers pulled them apart and questioned them. ‘Why did you fight?”
One-Eyed Li said with a swollen face, “Officer, he was the one who pressed me down and hit me. You have to stand up for me!”
The soldier looked at Wu Hao again. “Why did you hit him?”
Wu Hao looked at One-Eyed Li fiercely. “Because he deserves a beating! He s.n.a.t.c.hed my-.” Thinking that he no longer had anything to do with Meng Weiwei, he corrected himself. “He s.n.a.t.c.hed someone’s maidservant!”
One-Eyed Li hurriedly shouted, “Officer, you saw the indenture just now. I’m an honest citizen. How dare I do those outrageous things?”
The soldier confirmed, “This woman was indeed bought with money. On account of your good intentions, I’ll let it go this time!”
Wu Hao’s eyes widened. Meng Weiwei had clearly sold herself to Bai Wutong.
One-Eyed Li said indignantly, “Officer, he hit me and hasn’t compensated me.”
The soldier asked, “How much compensation do you want?”
One-Eyed Li blurted out, ‘Ten taels of silver!”
The soldier laughed. “You only spent five taels to buy her. Others. .h.i.t you a few times, and there’s not even an injury, yet you want ten taels.”
“Either he pay you ten copper coins, or there won’t be any compensation. Choose!
Ten copper coins was still money. One-Eyed Li simply nodded. “Then he has to give me ten copper coins now!”
Wu Hao was completely stunned now. He reacted for a long time before finally understanding that Bai Wutong had sold Meng Weiwei.
In less than two hours, she had sold Meng Weiwei to an ugly man. She had probably seen through Meng Weiwei’s thoughts from the beginning.
The ruthlessness of her methods made one’s heart skip a beat, but if Meng Weiwei had not been greedy, she would not have ended up like this.
Wu Hao had truly adored Meng Weiwei and could not bear to see her being ruined. “I’ll give you 10 taels of silver. Give her to me too!”
One-Eyed Li sneered. “Ten taels of silver? Dream on! I’ll sell her to a brothel at a higher price than you can pay.”
Hearing that One-Eyed Li was going to sell her to a brothel, Meng Weiwei completely collapsed.
Taking advantage of his surprise, she aimed at the tree beside her and quickly rushed up.
With a huge force, Meng Weiwei’s head started bleeding profusely.
Wu Hao shouted in surprise, “Weiwei!’
In panic, he pulled the rag out of her mouth and picked her up. He was about to look around for a doctor.
Seeing the terrifying b.l.o.o.d.y hole on Meng Weiwei’s head, One- Eyed Li was afraid that she would die in his hand and stood in front of them. “I’ll sell her to you for 10 taels of silver.. You can only take her after paying silver! If you don’t give me silver, don’t even think about taking her with you! ‘
