Chapter 487 Donny''s Wife


    In the days that followed, Donny treated Emily very well. He provided for whatever she needed - food,


    medicines,fort. Donny kept his father at bay and tried to make Emily feel asfortable as he


    could.


    As Emily tried to make conversation with Donny one day, he nodded at her, trying toprehend what


    she was saying. "Tell me what I can do for you?" he asked, as that was all he could offer to her in


    exchange for her willingness to y with him.


    "Nothing, yet." she said. Emily knew Donny would never hurt her but she decided not to reveal too


    much as his mother was not as kind and genuine as him.


    They yed together for a while before Mrs. Yang appeared at the door, "Donny, we are going to


    harvest potatoes. Do you want to join us?" asked Mrs. Yang.


    "Of course!" Donny answered, excitedly.


    "Okay, good boy," said Mrs. Yang, who always treated him like his little boy. Mrs. Yang''s eyes were


    warm with motherly love until theynded on Emily. Reluctantly, she said, "Hey, you...e with us


    too. We never feed idle people."


    "Umhm.. Got it." Emily nodded her head lightly, feeling obliged and dutiful.


    But Donny disagreed with his mother, refuting, "Mommy, how can you make my fairy do such hard


    labor? She is so beautiful. My fairy. She shouldn''t work!"


    "Oh, is it? Who will support your fairy if she doesn''t do her part? You? What would you do? Give her


    your food and starve?" she asked back. One could detect the casual contemptuousness regarding


    Emily in her voice.


    "Of course I will! I support her," Donny said with that serious conviction of a child, puffing out his chest


    with pride. "I swear to support her," he repeated.


    Mrs. Yang was amused at her little boy''s determination and pulled his ear gently, saying, "Right now,


    you yourself need my support. How will you support others? You really are going to follow the old


    saying, ''once the son is married, the mother is forgotten!'' Hahahahaha,"ughed Mrs. Yang.


    ''You have not married her yet, my silly boy. How could you protect her like this?'' Mrs. Yang thought in


    her mind. For one second, she even did not know whether it was right or not to keep Emily here.


    Her smiling eyes shifted to Emily, bing narrow and cunning. "You''d better not try to escape. This is


    our territory. You cannot escape! Don''t even think of it!" She pointed her forefinger at her, intimidating.


    "My fairy will not escape, mother. She likes me. She is different from all the other girls here..." Donny


    refuted loudly, grabbing her mother''s arm.


    "Fine, fine, fine. Got it. My silly boy! How could you fully believe what others say..." Mrs. Yang soothed


    him gently.


    As for Emily, she got a chance to finally step out of the room. The arrangement was that one of her


    ankles would be tied with a man rope with the other end tied around Donny''s waist.


    Donny wasn''t very smart but had brute force in his body. Mrs. Yang was convinced Emily wasn''t strong


    enough to break free.


    Her ulterior motive was also to show off Emily in front of other vigers. ''What a beautiful girl Donny will


    marry!'' She imagined others saying behind them. Mrs. Yang thought of the stupid girls of the vige,


    who despised her boy. Surely, they would be jealous when they see Emily.


    In some time, her imagination came true. Mr. and Mrs. Yang projected Emily like a trophy and got a lot


    of admiration and envy, just as they had wanted. It was surprising no one cared about the rope around


    Emily''s ankle, almost as if it was apletely normal thing to witness.


    The vigers thought she was beautiful, and also believed she would surely escape if she got a


    chance. That was exactly why she had to be tied up.


    But then again, it was almost impossible for a weak creature like her to escape. There were so many


    wild animals in the forest beyond the mountain. Even if she crossed the mountain, she was sure to be


    devoured by those beasts. What a pity!


    "Mr. Yang, where did you find such a beautiful girl?" one viger asked.


    "Yeah!" Someone else jumped in. "She is just like ady from a big town! How lucky you are!" another


    agreed.


    "So, Mrs. Yang finally agreed to let you take a concubine, right? And such a beautiful one at that!"


    another one bantered.


    "Damn you!" Mr. Yang interrupted. He noticed his wife''s face darkening and felt an urgent need to


    exin, "Don''t be stupid! You know, I only love my sweet wife. This girl is to be Donny''s wife. She is


    from the town!"


    "Oh, she is Donny''s wife! Wow" said one viger.


    The vigers were shocked listening to this. They couldn''t believe it, especially the young boys. In fact,


    they were angry thinking an idiot like Donny was going to marry such a beautiful girl. ording to


    them, he didn''t deserve it. They waited for Mr. and Mrs. Yang to give an exnation.

    ''It''s all because Mr. Yang is the vige head!'' one young man thought in his mind.


    At the same time, some women could not help feeling sympathetic for Emily as they knew she was


    another poor soul who had been tricked into the vige just like what happened to them in the past.


    They were doomed to be trapped in this living hell and could never leave.


    They were forced to live here, marry someone, bear children and work to feed them.


    For Emily, it would be even worse as she was going to marry aplete idiot. Everyone could foresee


    the terrible future ahead of her.


    The young girls were concerned about something else. "Look at her! She looks so fragile. She cannot


    even do manualbor. How will she survive?" "Maybe she''ll give birth to a child soon? But I highly


    doubt that," another girl said.


    "Well, it''s useless to marry someone who can neither do manual work nor give birth. I mean is there


    any other point?" One girl suggested arrogantly, her own body strong and sturdy.


    A young man had been eavesdropping the entire time and had ament of his own to add. "You


    girls! Look at her beautiful face! I would marry her simply to look at it day and night. What a pity! She is


    going to marry that idiot, Donny! How sad," he said, sighing and staring at Emily.


    Mrs. Yang caught him looking and was filled with joy. She gloated over the fact that her son was going


    to get something those boys never could. They would probably just end up marrying some generic girl


    with a rugged face from the mountain.


    Emily was the most beautiful girl to step foot in this vige and she was going to marry her son! No one


    could have such good fortune! ''Keep getting jealous for as long as you please!'' she thought, smiling


    smugly to herself.


    Of course, everyone envied them. But they could not stay for too long. Soon, the crowd scattered and


    everyone returned to harvesting potatoes.


    Emily''s foot still hadn''t recovered fully but it didn''t really hinder her walking. But since she''d had such


    little food she had no strength to work. Yet, she tried to learn how to dig out the potatoes like other


    vigers did but only seeded in finding a few.


    After about half an hour, she heard Donny speak up behind her, "My Fairy,e get some rest. Let me


    do the digging."


    In his mind, she was already his wife and he couldn''t bear to see her tired and exhausted; her slender,


    white hands covered with dust and her forehead dripping with sweat gave him heartache.


    A woman working behind Emily saw the scene and said, "Well, well, Donny has already changed,


    simply by the prospect of having a beautiful wife. Surely, you must cherish her!"


    The voice sounded familiar to Emily. She turned to look at the woman and immediately recalled she


    was the woman who had cheated her before and sent her to Mr. Yang!


    Emily had heard Mrs. Yang saying she was sold to them by this woman for 2000 dors, which was a


    huge amount of money for a viger.


    Other women were bought for a lot cheaper here.


    The woman caught Emily looking at her and suddenly panicked, looking away immediately.


    Mrs. Yang, standing a little further away, heard what she had said and looked at Emily''s almost-empty


    basket. "You scum! You couldn''t even dig one potato! Why should I let my son marry you, if you''re so


    useless!"


    Still, she did not force her to go on. She understood Emily was different from the others girls of the


    vige. She was weak and fragile, and didn''t look like she had done any physical work before in her


    life.


    ''I paid 2000 dors for you!


    If you cannot work, at least give me a grandson soon! I never pay for a fruitless deal!'' Mrs. Yang


    thought, calcting.


    Truth was, she had never expected Emily to work. She had just brought her to show off as well as keep


    an eye on her! She would never leave Emily alone at home while the whole family was working in the


    farm. Although she looked like she would faint any second, what if she still managed to escape?


    Mrs. Yang told Donny to take Emily away under the big tree nearby at which many girls felt jealous.


    They were never given a break. Well, seemed like luck came along with a beautiful face by default!


    Emily was relieved. She yed with Donny under the tree for some time, making dragonflies and


    grasshoppers out of fallen leaves.


    All she thought of was how she could find a chance to see the handsome man in the vige, who she


    suspected was Jacob.
