In years of famine and drought, their village even rejected fatty meat.

Just as the people were watching the Sun family, Xie Chunyu also left Li Qingyun's residence and, together with Elder Xiang, followed the route he remembered to his parents' home.

Standing in front of the simple wooden house, Xie Chunyu couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive about returning home. After hesitating for a moment, she stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"coming!"

A short while later, the door creaked open, revealing a deeply lined face inside.

Xie Chunyu looked at her father's face, which seemed to have aged somewhat, and said with tears in her eyes, "Father."

The familiar, haunting voice rang in his ears. Xie Xun looked up and froze as if struck by lightning!

"Spring Rain? Is that you?"

Xie Xun stared intently at Xie Chunyu's still-childish face, somewhat hesitant to recognize her, yet he knew that this must be his daughter, for he missed her day and night and would never mistake her for someone else!

"It's me! It's me!"

Tears streamed down Xie Chunyu's face. "Dad, I'm back!"

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back!"

Xie Xun stepped forward and reached out to wipe away Xie Chunyu's tears. "Come inside and tell her. Your mother is home too. She'll be so happy to see you back!"

As Xie Xun led Xie Chunyu home, he didn't forget to say to Old Xiang, who was returning with Xie Chunyu, "Old man, you brought my daughter back, right? Please come in and have a seat."

Old Xiang did not refuse, so the three of them went into the house.

Xie Xun's house was obviously quite ordinary; it didn't even have a living room, and the bedroom was right inside.

At this moment, Xie Xun's wife, Wu Yanzi, who was mending old clothes in the bedroom, saw someone come in and subconsciously looked up.

"Spring rain?!"

The next moment, Wu Yanzi froze.

In the Xia Kingdom, once someone is sold to a brokerage firm, it basically means goodbye forever!

Therefore, when she saw her daughter reappear in front of her, Wu Yanzi's mind went blank, and she had no idea how to react.

"mother!"

Xie Chunyu ran and rushed into her mother's arms, bursting into tears of joy.

The moment Dingchunlou was sold, she already had the intention to die. Her only regret was that she could not see her parents one last time before she died.

Fortunately... things took a dramatic turn for the better. The appearance of Chen Dao and others changed her fate, allowing her to survive and see her parents again.

"Spring Rain, you're back! You're really back!"

Wu Yanzi gently stroked Xie Chunyu's back, tears blurring her vision.

Xie Chunyu was her own flesh and blood, and her only child. She had loved Xie Chunyu dearly since childhood. It's hard to imagine how utterly devastated she must have felt when she agreed to let her husband sell Xie Chunyu to the brokerage firm!

Fortunately... Xie Chunyu did not leave her forever, but returned home safely.

only……

Wu Yanzi seemed to have thought of something. She cupped Xie Chunyu's head, making her look at her, and asked with a serious expression, "Chunyu, how did you get back? Did the brokers allow you to come back?"

Wu Yanzi remembered very clearly that Xie Chunyu was sold to Fusheng Brokerage by her husband.

Fusheng Brokerage Firm was no ordinary brokerage firm; it was affiliated with the Sun family of Ding'an County. No one sold into Fusheng Brokerage Firm had ever managed to escape successfully…

It's not that no one thought of escaping, but without exception, everyone who tried to escape from Fu Sheng Pawnshop met a bad end!

They'll either be caught and beaten to death, or their families will be implicated...

It's no exaggeration to say that a person sold to Fu Sheng Real Estate Agency will be treated as if they don't exist by their family. If they try to escape, not only will they be punished, but their family will also likely face unrest.

"I was rescued by someone."

Xie Chunyu replied, "That broker, Fusheng, sold me to Dingchunlou..."

"Dingchunlou?"

Before Xie Chunyu could finish speaking, Xie Xun's face turned ashen.

Who in Ding'an County doesn't know what Dingchunlou is?

As a man, Xie Xun simply couldn't accept the fact that his daughter had been sold into a brothel...

What angered Xie Xun even more was that the broker had told him beforehand that they would arrange a good place for Xie Chunyu. Xie Xun originally thought the broker would sell his daughter to a wealthy family as a maid or something, but instead she was sold to a brothel!

This enraged Xie Xun so much that he almost couldn't resist rushing into the kitchen, grabbing a cleaver, and going to fight the brokers!

"Dad, don't be in such a hurry, let me finish!"

Xie Chunyu quickly stopped Xie Xun and continued talking about what happened next.

After listening, Xie Xun's anger subsided slightly, and he said, "So it was that boy named Chen Dao and the magistrate who brought you out of Dingchun Tower?"

"Yes!"

Xie Chunyu nodded and said, "If it weren't for them, my daughter would probably..."

Xie Chunyu probably didn't say what it was, but Xie Xun and Wu Yanzi could roughly guess. They knew their daughter's personality well; they knew she was strong-willed and would never accept becoming a prostitute who used her body to please others. Therefore…

If Chen Dao and the county magistrate hadn't arrived in time, the daughter would have had no choice but to commit suicide.

Realizing this, Wu Yanzi immediately stood up and knelt down in front of Old Xiang with a thud: "Old man, please thank Magistrate Li and that young man surnamed Chen for me. I will never forget their great kindness in this lifetime!"

Xie Xun also knelt down before Elder Xiang, without saying a word, but the gratitude on his face spoke volumes about his thoughts.

It is said that a man's knees are worth more than gold, but this great kindness and virtue is worth more than gold, so Xie Xun knelt down without hesitation.

"You two don't need to do this!"

Old Xiang helped the two up and said with emotion, "Your daughter is lucky to have come back alive, but some people... will never come back."

A look of disorientation flashed in Old Xiang's cloudy eyes, as if he saw his son and daughter-in-law.

Xie Chunyu's family was lucky. Xie Chunyu, who had been sold to a brothel, was fortunate to encounter the arrival of Chen Dao and others, and successfully escaped from the hellish brothel, so that she could reunite with her parents.

However, Xiang Lao's son and daughter-in-law were not so lucky; they had already died under pressure from the Sun family.

Good thing...

The Sun family, which had committed numerous evils, could not escape the punishment of justice in the end. The patriarch and all the Sun family warriors were killed by Chen Dao and Xu Zhiwen.

As for the members of the Sun family who enjoyed the pleasure, they were not able to escape either, and were all killed by the thieves who broke into the Sun family!

presumably……

My son and daughter-in-law, in heaven, will surely feel some comfort, won't they?

A tear slowly slid down from the corner of Xiang Lao's eye, fell to the ground, and disappeared.
