Quick Transmigration: Why did you provoke him? He's love-struck!

Chapter 609 Dawn (15)

Upon hearing this voice, Yan Zhen paused slightly.

Jingchen's second uncle?

Immediately afterwards, Yan Zhen was kicked in the butt, and Aunt Jing's voice came: "Hey! Hey!"

Yan Zhen remained motionless.

The couple seemed to think she was dead. Immediately, one of them pulled up the sack, and the other untied it and pulled Yan Zhen out of it.

The next moment, they met Yan Zhen's wide-open eyes.

"..."

"..."

Aunt Jing threw Yan Zhen back into the sack and scolded her impatiently, "You brat, what are you pretending to be dead for!"

With his hands bound, Yan Zhen sat in a sack and quickly glanced around.

This is a van used for hauling goods. In order to make more space for loading, all the rear seats have been removed, and the enclosed compartment smells of poultry manure.

At this moment, besides Uncle Jing and his wife, there was also a middle-aged man driving.

There are three people in total.

Yan Zhen was plotting his escape when Aunt Jing said, "Don't worry, we won't do anything to you. This trip is to send you to enjoy a good life. A friend of mine has a wife who can't have children and wants to adopt a daughter."

Their family is well-off. As long as you behave well over there, you won't have any problems with food and clothing. It's much better than you staying with my nephew... I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?

Seeing that Yan Zhen was turning her head back and forth, seemingly not listening to her at all, Aunt Jing kicked Yan Zhen in annoyance.

The kick landed on Yan Zhen's shin, and she hissed in pain.

Although he was annoyed, Yan Zhen wisely refrained from retaliating and simply lowered his head and said "Oh".

The car swayed and bumped along for six or seven hours before finally stopping.

When Yan Zhen was dragged out of the car, it was already dark outside.

She looked around and could vaguely make out that it was a village.

Uncle Jing untied the ropes binding Yan Zhen's hands and feet, pulled her in front of him, and the couple took turns threatening her.

"You'd better behave well when you meet your future parents later."

"If they don't want you, we'll throw you into a grave and let the ghosts eat you!"

Yan Zhen looked frightened and nodded quickly.

Uncle Jing then picked her up and drove her into the village with the man who was driving.

The village roads were still dirt roads. As you walked in, there were low, yellow mud houses on both sides of the road. The man driving the car stepped in a pile of cow dung after a few steps, which made him curse and grumble for a long time.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Uncle Jing carried Yan Zhen into a courtyard enclosed by a fence.

When they pushed open the fence gate and went inside, the chickens and ducks in the yard were startled and started squawking. At the same time, the stench of chicken and duck droppings hit them.

"Is Brother Zhao here?" the man driving called out.

A couple in their forties soon came out. Their faces were etched with the marks of time, and their eyes immediately fell on Yan Zhen, who was being held by Uncle Jing.

Yan Zhen sucked on her fingers, met their gaze, and tilted her head.

The woman gave Yan Zhen a critical look and whispered to the man next to her, "You've lost weight and aren't pretty."

"That's enough, what family would give away such a pretty girl..." the man said, then smiled and beckoned to the group, "Let's go inside and talk, let's go inside and talk."

Upon entering the low-ceilinged and cramped living room, which was dimly lit, the woman poured tea for them, asking, "Why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten yet?"

Uncle Jing was about to say he hadn't eaten, but Aunt Jing quickly nudged him with her elbow and said with a smile, "You have eaten. Let's talk about business first."

She pushed Yan Zhen in front of the woman: "This is the child I told you about. Her parents are gone, and she only has an older brother. You know our family's financial situation; we can't afford to raise two children, so we had to give her away."

The woman beckoned to Yan Zhen, signaling her to come over.

Yan Zhen obediently walked up to her. The woman pulled her over, first pinching her chin and examining her teeth like she was inspecting livestock, then pinching her arms and thighs.

"Why are you so thin? I hope you don't have some kind of illness."

"No way," Aunt Jing quickly said. "When her parents were still alive, they spoiled her and made her very picky about food, which is why she's so thin. Don't worry, she'll behave herself after a few meals of hunger."

The woman was clearly not satisfied with Yan Zhen and said, "Can we change her? Doesn't she have an older brother? Let's switch him over, and we'll pay you..."

Aunt Jing's expression changed slightly, but she still smiled and said, "Her brother is already twelve years old. You can't raise him to be ingrained. You don't want to work hard to raise him for ten or eight years, only for him to disown you once he can earn money, do you?"

After hearing what Aunt Jing said, the woman indeed gave up the idea.

Just as she was about to ask Yan Zhen to stay, Yan Zhen suddenly snuggled into her arms, nuzzling her chest with his head.

The woman was startled, realizing that Yan Zhen was looking for breast milk, and she quickly pushed him away: "What are you doing!"

Yan Zhen pretended to be startled, froze for a few seconds, then his mouth twisted and he burst into tears: "Mommy! Hungry! Hungry! Milk!"

When she cried, saliva dribbled from the crooked corner of her mouth, and coupled with her stuttering speech, her already unattractive appearance became even uglier, making her look clearly a child with intellectual disabilities.

Realizing this, the woman became furious and yelled at Aunt Jing, "How could you be so kind as to send me a child, even personally delivering it to my door? You just wanted to dump this burden on me!"

The inability to have children is her greatest pain. She and her husband both want to adopt a child, boy or girl, so that they won't be destitute in their old age.

But the Jing family couple had such malicious intentions; they actually wanted to send a fool to their home.

If we hadn't realized this child was mentally disabled and had taken her in, wouldn't our family have just been left with a bottomless pit of someone who only eats and can't do any work?

Upon hearing this, Aunt Jing immediately stood up and waved her hands frantically, "No, no, she's faking it, that brat is very clever..."

"Get out! Get out!" The woman roared, refusing to listen to any explanation, and kicked Yan Zhen, along with Uncle Jing and his wife and the man driving the car, out of the car. "Don't let me see you again!"

The four of them were kicked out, looking disheveled and embarrassed.

Standing outside the fence, Aunt Jing's face was gloomy. She turned her head and kicked Yan Zhen in the butt, knocking her to the ground.

"You little brat, I'll beat you to death!"

Uncle Jing quickly stopped them, saying, "Don't fight here, there are people in the village watching!"

Yan Zhen was picked up and thrown back into the car.

The man driving asked, "What do we do now? Take this girl back?"

"No way." Aunt Jing's expression was extremely ugly. "If we send her back, all our work today will have been for nothing."

She stared at Yan Zhen for a while, then turned to look out the car window.

This village, far from the city, is nestled in a mountain valley, surrounded by earthen slopes, and is more than 70 kilometers away from the nearest other village.

The earthen slope is piled with the ancestral graves of each family, and in the distance, you can see the white banners planted on the graves fluttering in the wind.

"Throw this brat into the graveyard for one night and she'll behave. We'll send her to the Zhao family tomorrow." Aunt Jing said, glaring at Yan Zhen and threatening, "If she pretends to be crazy again tomorrow, we'll sell her to an old bachelor as a child bride!"
