Chapter 79: Expelling Jiang Huaiyu from the University Campus (Part 14)
Mengyu turned to the crowd, “I was adopted at a young age. Since I was three, I started doing chores, and by the age of five, I was already handling all the household tasks.
My adoptive parents forbade me from going to school and didn’t provide me with tuition fees. In order to go to school, I not only took care of all the household chores but also picked up recyclables to sell during my free time to fund my own education.
Being young and unaware of how to protect myself, I ended up with these twenty-eight scars scattered on my hands, and my hands became defined by prominent bone joints and muscles!”
She glanced at Jiang Huaiyu, “In order to save on school expenses, I had to find a way to skip grades. I started school at the age of ten, graduated from elementary school at thirteen, middle school at fifteen, and began high school. I am sixteen this year.”
The crowd listened to her experience in amazement: starting school at ten and taking the college entrance exam at sixteen, which meant she completed elementary, middle, and high school in just six years!
“This year, I should have been in my second year of high school, but I overheard my adoptive mother talking about selling me to a debauchee to get a dowry after my high school graduation. In order to escape that household, I asked my teacher to let me take the college entrance exam early, and luckily, I was admitted to university. But—”
Mengyu paused, drawing all eyes to her, before continuing, “The day I received the university admission notice, my family bought meat to celebrate, and my sweet little sister offered me a cup of homemade sweet wine as a toast. After I drank it, I passed out.”
The crowd was astonished.
A classmate asked, “Did your mom lock you up after you fainted, and then let her own biological daughter take your admission notice and impersonate your identity to attend university?”
This classmate voiced what everyone was thinking.
Jiang Mengyu, however, shook her head.
The crowd was puzzled, wasn’t it so?
Jiang Mengyu said loudly, “When I woke up, I was in a sealed truck, bound hand and foot, and it was moving. Hearing the men in the front cabin talking, I realized that I had been sold by my adoptive parents.”
“Wow—”
The classmates were shocked: this girl had actually been sold.
But it wasn’t right, the sweet wine was given by her sister; does it mean her sister sold her?
To gain the university spot that her sister had earned, she sold her sister to a human trafficker?
“Yes, after being drugged by the toast given by my ‘sweet’ little sister, I was sold by my adoptive parents to a human trafficker for five hundred yuan, and they gave that money to my little sister for university tuition and living expenses.
Furthermore, they made a deal with the human trafficker to sell me to a deep mountain village called Tiger Valley to become a Shared Wife to several men and to never allow me to leave the mountains.”
Listening to Mengyu’s words, everyone became furious.
Ten years of hard study, only to earn a spot in university and become one of the top students.
Yet this achievement was hijacked, which was infuriating.
Even though there was no blood relation, they still called each other dad, mom, and sister, and lived together for sixteen years—wasn’t there supposed to be some affection? Yet they sold someone who had just been admitted to university and was about to become a top student, to human traffickers!
That was the second outrage.
And if selling her was not enough, they even sold her off to be a Shared Wife for several men in a secluded mountain, essentially ruining her life.
That was another peak of fury.
The crowd felt ashamed for initially following along and despising Jiang Mengyu, being deceived, and their gazes towards Jiang Huaiyu turned fiery: it was this wicked woman who had misled them, causing them to misunderstand a genuinely oppressed and kind-hearted student.
