Soon the meal was ready, and Gousheng's mother served the rice and dishes and placed the bowls and chopsticks.

However, Gousheng and his son acted like big bosses and waited until the dishes and chopsticks were handed to them before they started to eat.

Gousheng's mother lowered her head and ate silently without saying much.

During this time, Gou Sheng said, "Mom, do you think my new daughter-in-law is pretty?" Then she looked up and her cloudy eyes fell on Sang Feiwan and glanced at her briefly:

"Very good, what's your name?"

"Xiaoqiu."

"Oh."

After a very brief and pale conversation, they continued eating.

Sang Feiwan originally wanted to eat so that he could regain some strength.

But just as she was about to pick up the bowl, Gousheng's father snatched it away: "You can't eat it!"

Gousheng liked his new daughter-in-law very much and helped to speak up: "Dad, I see she is hungry too, tell her to eat something, we will be a family from now on."

Gousheng's father glared at his son and said, "What do you know? If she is full and has strength, she will be hard to tame and may even run away. Let her starve first and only give her some water. When she is very hungry, she will know how to surrender."

"Your mother was a hot-tempered person back then. She was turned into a sheep by starvation and beatings."

After hearing this, Gousheng no longer mentioned the matter of feeding Sang Feiwan. He just quickly finished his meal and then couldn't wait to take Sang Feiwan to the bedroom.

Gousheng's father sneered, "You little brat, you're even more impatient than I was back then."

Their bedroom was also very simple, with a wooden bed and a wooden stool as the only furniture. A torn straw mat was casually spread on the bed, which was filled with the unpleasant smell of sweat.

The effect of the anesthetic had long passed by now, but hunger made Sang Feiwan's brain a little dizzy and his body very weak.

She asked Gousheng: "Can you give me something to eat?"

"No. My father said that I have to starve you to keep you obedient. When you become mine tonight, I will give you food in the morning."

Gousheng was making his bed and pasting the word "囍" he had prepared earlier on the window to add a festive touch.

Sang Feiwan tried to get some information through facial features, but Gousheng, like everyone else in the village, could not see the fate.

It seems like everything here is shrouded in a fog and cannot be seen at a glance.

She tried to look again, but still couldn't get a glimpse of his fate... It seemed that he had no fate at all.

Could it be that everything in the movie is fictional? Doesn't exist? So the people here don't have fate either. They are just like NPCs in the game, mechanically doing the things that are set in the plot.

Who set up this plot?

Is this really a movie?

What's the purpose of pulling the audience in and trapping them?

Unable to see through it, she could only ask:

"Why do you have to buy a wife? Can't you find one yourself?"

"It's hard to find a wife outside. They all look down on us mountain people."

"What about the girls in your village?"

"In our village, everyone likes sons, and most families raise sons. Some families have daughters, but the bride price is very high. It's cheaper to buy a daughter-in-law."

"Your mother bought it too? Don't you feel sorry for her?"

"Why should we feel bad about that? She's used to being here. Even if we send her back to her hometown now, she won't have any relatives there."

Sang Feiwan wanted to ask more, but Gousheng had already finished his work and looked at Sang Feiwan with a hungry look:

"I think you are a sensible person. You don't cry or make a fuss. Come here and sit next to me. I will treat you well."

Sang Feiwan raised his trapped hands: "The rope is very uncomfortable, please untie it for me. Otherwise, how can you say you are good to me?"

Gou Sheng asked, "If I untie you, what if you make a scene?"

Sang Feiwan smiled and said, "I can't beat you, so why should I make a fuss? If I make a fuss, I will suffer. Well, it has come to this anyway, I accept my fate."

She was fine if she didn't smile, but when she smiled, she was even more charming and outstanding, and Gou Sheng was stunned by her.

Sang Feiwan said again: "Untie me, I've been tied up for too long. If I continue, my wrists will be injured and it will be inconvenient for me to do farm work in the future."

In the eyes of people like Gousheng, whether the wife can do farm work is also very important.

In addition, he was confident that women could never beat men.

So he untied Sang Feiwan.

When the rope fell, he was about to grab her hand and hold her tightly in his arms, but Sang Feiwan's eyes suddenly turned cold and then a knife came down on him.

Gousheng’s eyes rolled back and he fainted.

Probably to prevent them from escaping, their door had already been locked from the outside by Gousheng's father.

The window was not locked, but there were iron bars welded on the outside, so even if the window was opened, there was no way to escape through it.

Sang Feiwan tried to pry the iron bars apart, but she had no spiritual power and had not eaten enough, so she could not pry them apart. Even when she had knocked Gousheng unconscious just now, it was because she had hit the numb point, which did not require much effort to make someone faint.

How to do?

Just at this moment, she saw Gousheng's mother walk out of the yard and pour out the foot washing water.

Sang Feiwan suddenly had an idea and quickly turned sideways to block the unconscious Gousheng.

When Gousheng's mother turned around and saw her, she quickly lowered her voice and said, "I'm very hungry. I haven't eaten for three days. Can you give me something to eat?"

Gousheng’s mother hesitated and didn’t say anything.

Although her eyes were still a little numb, she was clearly struggling with something.

Sang Feiwan said weakly: "I just want something to eat, just a little bit is enough. If I don't eat, I'm afraid I'll starve to death."

Gousheng's mother glanced at her, and no one knew what she was thinking at that moment, but there was a look of pity in her eyes.

She turned and went to the kitchen, and when she came back, there was a steamed bun in her hand.

After handing the steamed bun to Sang Feiwan, she turned and left without saying a single extra word from beginning to end.

When Gousheng's mother went in, Sang Feiwan could still hear Gousheng's father cursing from the next room:

"I asked you to pour me some water to wash my feet, but you took so long to come back. You are becoming more and more useless!"

"If my family wasn't so poor, I would have married someone else! Why don't you say anything? Do you still want to escape? I'm telling you, you can't run away in this life, and you can only be buried here when you die!"

Sang Feiwan listened to the scolding from next door, quickly finished a steamed bun, and then relaxed a little, finally feeling that he had regained some strength.

He tried to pry the iron bars apart again, and after a lot of effort he finally loosened two of them, allowing her to escape successfully.

Relying on her memory, she headed towards where Yu Beiming was, and ran into Yu Beiming halfway through her run.

The collar of his dress was torn open, revealing his chest.

Sang Feiwan frowned and asked, "Why are you so embarrassed?"

Yu Beiming wanted to curse, but he held back and cursed, "Beast!"

Just now, he wanted to get some words out of Daniu, but that bastard was impatient and had no patience to say more, so he just wanted to use force.

Although he was knocked unconscious later, the innocent Xiao Yu was still deeply disgusted.
