Chapter 1395
Looking at her, I said calmly, "It''s not difficult to take you along with us, but at least I need to know
why you want to leave, why are you being locked up in here, and would your parents agree to let
you leave. If I took you away without the consent of your parents, what do you think my
consequences would be? In addition, if you really love your sister, you shouldn''t use her to coerce
me to bring you away from here. You know better than me that we are giving your parents money in
exchange for your sister''s help. From a material point of view, I don''t think we owe you anything. But
from a humanitarian point of view, if your request is reasonable and legal, I will still agree!"
She wrapped her arms around her skinny body and sneered. Then, she said sarcastically, "You city
people really know how to talk. You can easily ruin a life just by giving us money. Alright, it''s also
good that you can make things clear. It shows that you are also a reasonable person. Alright, I''ll tell
you everything."
I was a rational person, but I was still a little shocked after listening to this girl''s story. Her name was
Susan Hathaway, the eldest daughter of Gail Hathaway.
In the remote mountain vige, these people had no other sources of ie except the few acres
ofnd they owned. However, when the country gradually loosened the family nning policy four
or five years ago, the vigers here suddenly found another good source of ie, which was
children.
I didn''t know who brought the news back to the vige, but eventually, children became a form of
business transaction. Some foreigners came here to take a few of the children away and gave the
parents tens of thousands of dors. Most of the children in the vige did not have birth
certificates. Some of the children who were taken away were sent back, and some did not.
Those who were sent back were lucky, but they were not in good health, and there would always be
a lot of healthplications. However, to them, this was actually considered a good oue. At
least they got to return home. However, some children didn''te back, and those families whose
children had not been sent back would eventually receive a sum of hundreds of thousands of
dors. In this way, it was considered that their child had been bought, but it was unknown whether
they were alive or dead.
Each family had about seven or eight children. It was not a big deal for them to lose one or two.

Either way, they could always give birth to another one. So for the children who had not been sent
back, or the children who came back sick, no one cared about what they had gone through at all.
A few families in the vige had moved away after making enough money. However, those who
stayed behind either didn''t meet generous buyers or couldn''t have more children. They couldn''t
bear to lose their remaining children, so they just continued to live here with their few acres ofnd.
I was a little emotional while listening to her words. She looked at me and scoffed, "Do you think
these people are idiots? Just now, you saw that my mother has nine children, and I am the eldest. I
am old and useless to them, so she wanted to marry me off and collect money in betrothal gifts. For
the money, she is willing to marry me off to a fool without hesitation. If I hadn''t gone to school or
witnessed the lives of other children, maybe I would ept it. But I have seen it all."
"I clearly saw what kind of family the children of my age live in and what kind of life they lead. So,
I''m not willing to ept all of this. I''m not willing to let my mother ruin my life like this. I want to
leave this ce, and go somewhere far, far away from here."
