Chương 61: Chapter 61: Atonement

"What is it?" Yang Xiao pressed.

"Do you still remember those girls that the Feng Family bought? They weren't just bought randomly... they were all firstborn daughters in their families. We found a few of the girls' families, and according to their parents, some families had more than one daughter. They wanted to sell all of them, but the people from the Feng Family would only take the eldest. Even when offered the rest for free, they wouldn't take them."

"Some families actually didn't intend to sell their children, but they couldn't withstand the Feng Family visiting repeatedly to persuade them, saying that keeping a girl is a burden, she can't do heavy work and is just another mouth to feed. If they sold her to them, not only would they get some silver to help with expenses, but more importantly, they would give the girl a good future. They even said things like as a parent, one should learn to consider their child's best interests."
