Old Lady Luo did not know that her daughter-in-law was not living a carefree life outside; instead, Chen Guihua's current treatment was much more miserable compared to the Luo family.
At least the old lady and the others had food and clothing, whereas Chen Guihua was locked up in a coal mine village in Jinbei.
To prevent her from running away, the buyer had put iron shackles on her hands and feet and detained her in a pitch-dark room where one couldn't see their fingers in front of their face, feeding her only two dark steamed buns a day to stave off starvation.
The buyer was a thin old man in his fifties surnamed Sun. He had broken a leg working in the mines when he was younger, so the villagers all called him Sun Lame.
Having worked in the mine his whole life, Sun Lame had scrimped and saved sixty thousand yuan to find a wife.
