The surroundings were deathly silent; who would have thought that Yu Tingwan was here to settle an old score?
Yu Tingwan knew that most human traffickers were heartless. They would sweet-talk, promising to send someone to work as a maid in a wealthy household, with wages and a good life. But once they bought someone, they would let them be exploited.
These human traffickers were all ruthless.
If someone disobeyed, they would beat them severely.
If someone tried to escape, they would first break a leg. Yet, this didn't worry them about sales; lowering the price would only attract those old bachelors eager to marry.
This served as a deterrent for the other girls, quelling any thoughts of escape, making them obedient, which was valuable.
Yu Tingwan understood this. How could those families, who would rather accept less money and rice, not know? Yet, they were at the end of their rope, hoping that the traffickers might show some conscience.
