Chapter 397: Chapter 397: Encountering a Top-grade Person While Buying a House (Part 5) Chapter 397: Encountering the Top-grade Scam in House Purchasing (Part V) Mengyu sneered: “Parents? Are you sure you’re my mother? Back then, you had been married for several years without any children, then someone suggested that it was decreed by fate that you wouldn’t have children of your own, and that you needed to adopt a child to bring siblings into your life through them. So, you stealthily took me away right after I was born from my mother’s side, depending on the prophecy that I would bring siblings for you, and only then did you give birth to your own children. You kidnapper who stole a baby, how dare you call yourself my parent?” On hearing this, the crowd’s gaze towards Madam Jiang changed instantly; to steal someone’s child, causing a mother and daughter to be separated, no wonder she wouldn’t recognize you as her mother after finding out. Madam Jiang wanted to say that it was her father who handed me over to her, and that her father even took her money, but by saying so, it would have further affirmed her crime as a human trafficker. Mengyu continued: “And earlier, you said you only scolded me and hit me a few times? But I was raised through beatings and scoldings by your entire family since childhood.” Jiang Mengyu recounted her experience of doing chores from a young age in the Jiang Family, often going hungry, not being allowed to study until she was ten, not being granted money for miscellaneous school fees even when she did study, and having the little money she made from collecting trash frequently taken away. “If it weren’t for the neighbor’s help with a meal from time to time when I was at home, and classmates helping me with lunch at school, I would have starved to death long ago. Li Chunhua took me away from my birth mother. Aside from my infancy which I don’t remember, as soon as I have memories, I had to work to get food. I started working at the age of three, took on all housework at the age of five, and if anything was slightly amiss, it wasn’t only scoldings and beatings I’d get, I wasn’t even allowed to have food. After so much hardship, I managed to get into university this year by studying with the money I earned from selling trash and skipping grades, but she intended to sell me to a pair of brothers in the mountains to secure my hard-earned university spot for her biological daughter. If it wasn’t for my quick-thinking jump off a cliff to escape, I would now be the shared wife of some brothers in Tiger Valley. Everyone, think about it, can such people be called parents? Would any of you want parents like that?” After listening to Mengyu’s accusation, everyone was stirred up by righteous indignation. Previously abiding by the principle of “one should sweep the snow from one’s own doorstep and not worry about the frost on another’s roof,” their indignation now sparked widespread discussion: “This isn’t like raising a daughter at all, but more like raising a servant!” “Yes, indeed! To steal someone’s child and then treat that child in such a way is just too much.” “I think I’ve heard about this woman; she’s been caught for human trafficking before.” “Stealing a child away from her mom, she should be in jail for that.” “Not that, it was because she sold her daughter.” “It seems... I’ve also heard about it, selling her daughter to a remote mountain to be a shared wife.” ... Li Chunhua had not expected that Jiang Mengyu would divulge the matter of her nearly being sold into the mountains as a shared wife, did she not realize that talking about this would also damage her own reputation? And moreover, there were actually people here who had heard about the things she had done. Wasn’t this only spread around the village before? When did people in the county town get wind of it? She couldn’t help but regret it; had she known, she wouldn’t have provoked Jiang Mengyu. After all, if this spread throughout the county town, how would she live here in the future? Seeing Mengyu airing out their family’s dirty laundry in public, Jiang Huaiyu was also very anxious. She swiftly stood up on the steps and shouted to the people: “Don’t listen to her nonsense, if my mom had really trafficked people, would the law let her go, would we be standing here? We would have been in prison by now.”
