Chapter 180: Chapter 180 Arguing in Defense Chapter 180: The Explanation “Fourthly, classmate Cai Yingdi said that I got into university but didn’t want to attend, which isn’t true. I went through so much hardship to get into university, why wouldn’t I want to attend? If I didn’t want to attend, why would I beg my teacher to let me take the college entrance exam? In fact, I was overjoyed when I received the admission notice. It was precisely because I was so happy that when Jiang Huaiyu’s parents offered to celebrate for me, I didn’t realize they had ill intentions. I drank a glass of sweet wine poured by Jiang Huaiyu for me, and then I passed out. When I woke up, I was bound by my limbs and locked in a sealed truck. It was only by listening to the voices outside that I learned I had been sold by Jiang Huaiyu’s parents to the Zhou Brothers of Tiger Valley for five hundred yuan, to become a Shared Wife.” “Whoa—” The classmates began to discuss fervently: “What’s a Shared Wife?” “Isn’t that a wife shared by several men?” “It must be, right? I’ve heard that men in the mountains can’t afford to marry, so they buy a woman and take turns—” “That’s horrifying!” Mengyu raised her hands to quiet the voices of the students: “Does everybody find it terrifying? I was very scared back then too. And as a result of my fear, I took extreme action—I jumped off a cliff!” The students started discussing again: “What, jumped off a cliff?” “Are you kidding me?” “Can you survive a cliff jump?” “But isn’t she alive and well?” “Is it true?” “Where did she jump?” “But—” Clearly, many classmates were unwilling to believe Mengyu had jumped off a cliff. Mengyu continued: “Everyone finds it inconceivable, right? I can hardly believe it myself now, but that’s exactly what I did then. Because there were no roads to Tiger Valley, after the car reached the end of the road, there was still a three-hour mountain climb. After getting out of the car, the traffickers untied the ropes on my feet. I asked them to untie my hands as well, under the pretense that it would make it easier to climb. When we reached a bend at the top of a small mountain, about to turn towards another peak, I impulsively climbed onto a large rock and jumped off the cliff. At that moment, I gambled on chance: jump and either die or be free. In other words, I preferred to die rather than be sold into the deep mountains to become a Shared Wife!” The classmates gasped, looking at Jiang Mengyu with eyes full of admiration. “However, I was very lucky. I got caught by a branch of a pine tree that was growing out of the cliff, did not die but was injured. I climbed down towards the base of that pine tree and found a cave, where I survived by eating wild vegetables and fruits on the cliff for a month, healing my injuries. Then, I climbed down using the tree vines and happened to meet the liberation army who were on a mission; they saved my life. So, saying that I got into university and didn’t want to attend is slandering me, trying to justify their act of taking away my university place.” The classmates nodded, looking at Jiang Mengyu with admiration. “Fifthly, classmate Cai Yingdi said that my biological mother sold me to human traffickers. I want to tell everyone that I was sold two months ago, while my biological mother only came here and recognized me one month ago. When I was sold, my mother hadn’t even acknowledged me yet. By what right would she sell me? Therefore, that statement isn’t true either. Sixthly, the claim by Cai Yingdi that my mother sold my university place to the Jiang Family is even further from the truth. Because my biological mother didn’t even know I had gotten into university. And no mother who isn’t lacking money would sell her own daughter’s hard-earned university place to someone else.” The classmates were puzzled again: Mengyu’s biological mother isn’t lacking money?
