The youngest, fourth mother, was only 25 years old. At 15 years old, she was sold to a rich family's foolish young master as a wife.
This foolish young master was not a cute fool. He was the kind of fool who would go crazy and kill people. There were more than a dozen little girls who had been harmed by him.
The fourth mother's family was not so poor that they could not afford to eat. On the contrary, she had a cousin who was studying in school. However, her parents had passed away. As she grew older, her grandmother and aunt knew that the family spent at least a hundred taels on buying a wife for their son. Therefore, the fourth mother, who had no parents or brothers, was sold.
It was even a life and death contract. Her family would directly remove her name from the genealogy, which meant that she no longer existed in this world and would not affect her cousin in the future.
