Their village was poor, and outsiders simply did not want to marry into it, yet there were significantly more boys than girls in the village.
So, some families would grit their teeth and spend some money at the foot of the mountain to buy a young girl to raise as a child bride; it's just a shame these days that there are fewer and fewer people out there selling daughters.
"Indeed! She's even received education!" The middle-aged couple showed a proud expression, boasting.
The villagers' eyes lit up at once: "Wow! She's educated!"
In the mountain hollow, let alone a school, there isn't even a literacy class.
Most people are illiterate, only able to do some simple counting. This is also why they want to get an educated child bride.
Upon hearing their conversation, Sanni instantly calmed down. They knew each other; they were part of the same gang!
"Must have cost quite a bit, huh?" A villager asked with a smile.
The middle-aged couple nodded: "Absolutely! Ten big circles!"
