Chapter 674: Horribly Exploited

ouldn't ask her anything, so Rosen thoughtfully closed the door of the ward before Captain Sun said:"Little Rain, don't be afraid! That wasn't a monster, that was the doctor who came to save you. He's...If life continues this way, the Song family will slowly get better. Unfortunately, with Tiger son being such a liability, all the hard-earned money Song Dachuan makes goes straight into the pharmacy. The whole family only manages to barely make ends meet and has no extra money left. If something unexpected happens, they won't even have emergency funds.

It so happened that there was a young student from Zhangjia Village studying in town, attending the same academy as the Dong family's young master. He brought back news to the village that the Dong family was hiring people, with a labor contract instead of a death contract. If one finished their term and wished to renew, they could; if not, they could simply go home when the time was up.

This got the villagers who had surplus labor excited, after all, it was just going to work for the Dong family, not selling themselves. The money earned wasn't little either. The Dong family also had connections, they were just temporarily residing in their ancestral home, and one day they would return to Kyoto. Perhaps they could benefit from them, so many people went together to apply.

She is in here, and she wants to contribute to this family. Besides, she's also afraid that the Song family will make trouble for her again. If she goes to the Dong family, the Song family won't be able to touch her.

The reason the original intended to fight for this opportunity was still because of that day after summer, when she saw Song Dashan from afar. At that time, she was so frightened that she turned around and ran to the fields, where she found her four uncles. The four held up their poles and scared Song Dashan away.

But the original body felt that her uncle was still harboring ill intentions and wanted to sell her. Her father was working in the town, and her mother had to take care of the household chores and her younger brother. She managed to escape this time, but she couldn't run away every time. So, she gathered her courage and begged the person from Zhangjia Village who was going to apply for a job in Dongjia, the town, to take her with them.

She didn't tell her parents about this beforehand, for fear they wouldn't agree. When she applied to be a maidservant, Song Dachuan and Zhang Huiniang only found out then. The two of them didn't want the original person to work as a maidservant for others, but after hearing the original person's reasons, they remained silent.

Finally, Song Dachuan personally sent his eldest daughter to the Dong family. The contract was for two years of service. That year, the original body was just twelve and a half years old, and Tiger was two years old. During these two years at the Dong family, although life was hard, she persevered. One year, she even saved Miss Dong, the second daughter who had fallen into the water, and received ten taels of silver as a reward.

The original stayed perfectly still and returned the silver home. That's when they finally furnished themselves with two acres of medium-sized farmland. With the income from the field, plus the uncultivated land opened by Song Daxiang, their life improved somewhat.

Just as her contract was about to expire, Miss Dong's second daughter got engaged. A year later, she married, and she took a liking to the original owner, wanting her to be a maid of honor. This is how Lianyi heard the conversation between Song Dachuan and Zhang Huiniang after entering this body.

In her past life, the original owner had left home for money and to completely break away from the Song family. So after returning home, she immediately told her parents that she was going to be a maidservant accompanying Miss Dong Er. She said that this way, her life would be better, and she could also help the family. After resting at home for three days, she happily returned to Dong Mansion.

After a year of training by the Dong family, the original body was pampered and slowly blossomed. The youthful figure became slender and graceful, her appearance more and more radiant. Not to mention that people rely on their clothes, the original body dressed in silk and satin was also a beauty.

Thus, the original followed Miss Dong into her husband's home, Yao Mansion. After entering Yao Mansion, she behaved herself and focused solely on taking good care of her mistress. She never formed alliances or cliques, being a well-behaved maid.

After a year in the household, Miss Dong Er became pregnant. Because of her pregnancy, she was unable to attend to her husband, so she directly sent the original owner to her husband's bed to demonstrate her magnanimity and virtuousness, while also endearing herself to her husband.

Unbeknownst to her, she had become a stepmother-in-law. When she first learned of this, she contemplated suicide. However, the second young mistress of the Dong family took her hand and wept, explaining tearfully:

“Because you are my maid, your husband has taken a liking to you. But I know you don't want to, so I've always been stopping him. Even because you signed a binding contract, I wanted to let you go, but here in the capital, it's not like our small town. I'm afraid if I let you go, you wouldn't even be able to leave the city gates.”

I had already planned that when I returned to Wangshan Town to visit my family, I would take you back and reunite you with your parents. But unexpectedly, I became pregnant and couldn't attend to my husband, so he found this excuse to take advantage of you first.

I only found out this morning when you didn't come to serve me that you had taken your own innocence. How can I face people now You grew up with me, we are as close as sisters. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken you with me when I got married.

"I know this is unfair to you, and I will make it up to you tenfold. I'll write back and ask my father to send the best doctor to treat your younger brother. There will also be two hundred taels of silver. Please, for my sake, bear with this!"

The original owner, who had originally wanted to die, hesitated. She could disregard herself, but she couldn't disregard her younger brother and parents. Especially since she could afford to treat her brother's illness and use the money to buy land and build a house, even if she suffered some grievances, it was worth it. Who would have thought that she was just a maidservant.

Just like that, the original body succumbed and eventually became Young Master Yao's aunt by marriage. And because of her constitution, she soon became pregnant as well.

She was just three months younger than Miss Dong Er. Miss Dong Er had given birth to a daughter, so she stayed with her the whole time during her delivery.

The original body was lucky enough to give birth to a son, but before she could even take a glance at her child, Miss Dong Er gave the just-delivered original body a bowl of medicine, causing her to hemorrhage and die.

Even in death, the original body remembered how Miss Dong Er looked at her, as if she were an ant. After that, she knew nothing more.

After receiving the original body's memories, Ripples sighed in her heart. When she received the memories, she saw the old woman from Dong Mansion teaching the original owner things and taking care of her. She knew that the Dong family had been raising the original body as a concubine.

The purpose was to, when Miss Dong Er was pregnant or inconvenient to serve her husband, use a trusted maidservant to win over the man's heart, so that he wouldn't lessen his favoritism towards Miss Dong. Especially since she had inherited the best qualities from both her parents, she truly caught the eye of the Yao family's men.

"What was the original wish of the Stone Mill"

The original owner's desire was simple; she didn't want to be a maidservant for the Dong family anymore. She only wanted to stay with her parents and younger brother, find a man she liked, and live a peaceful life.

Is the second young mistress of the Dong family up to no good Doesn't the original body intend to seek revenge

She wasn't going to seek revenge. After all, the Dong family had hired a doctor for her brother and given him money. She felt it was worth sacrificing her life for these things.

Has Dongjia given it yet

"The silver was given, and the doctor summoned was a general practitioner, not one specializing in treating weakness. So the original owner's younger brother barely managed to live until he was twenty before passing away. This was a huge blow to Song Dachuan and his wife, especially since Zhang Huiniang could no longer have children. They had no sons or daughters, and their later years were very bleak. They were often ridiculed by the Song family members."

The stone mill speaks the truth.

"I know what to do."were overwhelmed by mutated rats.Later, those mutated rats just ran off. They disappeared completely until no more mutated rats could be found. Then the place finally calmed down. It only lasted for a...
