Reborn back to the time before I sold my blood to support my scumbag boyfriend's college educat

"Ah Cong, what are you doing?"

The woman entered a room where a young man in a wheelchair was looking at a landscape painting on the wall.

"What can a cripple like me do?" the man said sarcastically, his back to the woman.

"I've brought you the woman you wanted, a female teacher who graduated from university. She's good-looking, and I found her exactly as you requested. I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Is she prettier than my sister-in-law?"

The woman was taken aback by these words, and after a moment of hesitation, she said, "Pretty much, everyone's beauty is different."

"Pretty much, you're still as vague as ever."

"Ah Cong, your brother is trying his best to meet your demands. So many years have passed, and he didn't do it on purpose, so can't you just..."

"No, ask him if he could forgive me if I broke his legs and he was the one in the wheelchair today."

The man turned his wheelchair around, his face filled with anger. Fifteen years had passed since that incident. He still remembered how he felt at the time, from shock to anger to utter despair.

"Ah Cong, your brother was young and didn't know any better back then."

If that incident hadn't happened, the two brothers might still be the same as when they were children. They had a good relationship since childhood, and were only a year apart in age. They used to live in the countryside, and often went to the river to catch fish and to climb trees at the foot of the mountain to pick wild fruit and raid bird nests.

When the eldest son was twelve years old, he and his younger son went to the trees at the foot of the mountain to raid bird nests. The younger son climbed up the tree, while the older son was below. He saw a bird nest and tried to pry it down with a branch.

Unexpectedly, it wasn't a bird's nest at all, but a small hornet's nest. In the instant he fell, fearing being stung by the hornets, he ran away first, while his youngest son fell from the tree, which was two or three meters high, and broke his leg.

"They were being inconsiderate and clearly had ulterior motives. Knowing I was still in the tree, they used a branch to poke at the hornet's nest, causing me to fall from the tree, and that's not all."

He actually went home and didn't tell you, leaving me to spend the night under the tree, which caused me to miss the opportunity to get treatment for my leg.

"Ah Cong, your older brother already explained that he didn't know you fell from the tree, let alone that it was a hornet's nest."

After your older brother realized he had caused trouble, he ran to your maternal grandmother's house. We assumed you went to your grandmother's house with him, which is why we didn't look for you.

Okay, let's not dwell on the past. Saying more won't change the outcome. Get along well with that girl. Your older brother said he'll take care of all your child's expenses from now on.

Ah Cong sneered, "He's in charge of expenses? If I hadn't been ruined by him, I would need him to raise my children. He can marry the woman he loves openly and honestly, while I have to resort to improper means to get married."

The woman smiled bitterly. She didn't want to either, but her youngest son knew that his older brother's wife was a college graduate. He said he also wanted to marry a college graduate; these days, college graduates are so precious, who would want to marry a disabled person with an unpredictable personality like him?

A young woman who had just graduated from university was willing to marry him because her younger brother was sick and needed money for surgery. She was very happy and offered to help them pay for the surgery.

Then he brought the girl to his younger son, who rejected her because she was short and ugly. Yang Yan wanted to find a woman as beautiful as his sister-in-law.

Both are indispensable, and they're not easy to find. Out of desperation, the eldest son had a business friend who offered to help. At first, they didn't know his help involved finding abducted girls.

Later, I learned that I originally wanted to refuse, but my son made a huge fuss. He insisted that they were biased and looked down on him, saying that they were arranging a marriage for his brother but not for him, so I had no choice but to agree.

"Yu Mei, the person has been brought."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister-in-law Xiulian."

Xu Xiulian was the one she hired to take care of her son. In the past, she had hired many people to take care of her son, but they were all driven away by her son after only a few days.

Finally, they thought of saving their son and a woman from the same village. She was the one who found their son and lent him money to go to the hospital.

Her son only showed kindness to her family, so she went home and invited them to come and take care of him. Only then did her son calm down.

"It's not hard work."

Huang Shaomin was timidly pulled in and made to stand aside. She was given a dress and light makeup. She looked pretty good; at least the woman was satisfied.

"Girl, don't be afraid. What's your name?"

"I...I'm Huang Shaomin. Please let me go. My parents are rich," Huang Shaomin pleaded, grabbing the woman's hand.

"Xiaomin, there's no way I'm going to let you go. Do we look like we're short of money? Let me tell you, you're lucky to have married my son into our family."

The other abducted girls were sold to remote mountain areas to be wives of old bachelors, where they had little to eat and had to work hard; if they tried to escape, they would be severely beaten.

Huang Shaomin knew that she and several other girls had been following human traffickers these past few days. The others were indeed sold for several thousand yuan, and there were also cases where several brothers from poor families couldn't afford wives, so they pooled their resources to sell one woman to carry on the family line. The thought sent a chill down her spine; she never wanted to live that kind of life.

"I…"

"Don't be afraid. As long as you make my son happy and give him a child, gender doesn't matter, I won't mistreat you. But if you run away or treat my son badly, I'll have someone send you back to the human traffickers."

"I understand, I promise I won't run away."

Seeing that Huang Shaomin was intimidated, the woman took her hand and placed it together with her son's, saying with satisfaction, "Acong, I've had the room decorated. Let's have a family dinner tonight to celebrate."

"No need. What's there to celebrate about a tool bought to carry on the family line?"

He pulled his hand away and looked at Huang Shaomin coldly. Huang Shaomin froze; when his hand had been on the man's, goosebumps had risen all over his body—the man's hand was very cold.

"Acong"

"Alright, you can go back now! Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary."

Seeing her son's impatient expression, the woman dared not say anything more.

"Sister-in-law Xiulian, please take good care of Acong. Call me if anything happens. Keep an eye on her." The woman looked at Huang Shaomin.

"Okay, don't worry! With our family here, we won't let her get away."

The woman nodded and left. After seeing her leave, Huang Shaomin became very nervous.

"Auntie, bring a rope and tie her to the bed."

"No, I promise I won't run away."

Huang Shaomin has been traumatized by being tied up these past few days, and she never wants to be tied up again. She doesn't want to experience that feeling of being unfree again.

"This isn't a good idea."

"Auntie, if we don't tie her to the bed, she might run away. How am I supposed to chase after her?"

"Okay, I'll go get the rope. Xiao Cong, she can't run away, the gate is locked. And there's a dog in the yard, if she dares to escape, she'll definitely be bitten to death."

Yu Xiulian gave Huang Shaomin a warning look, then went out to get a rope. Huang Shaomin looked at the man in fear, but then breathed a sigh of relief when he remembered that he was disabled.

"I really won't run away, can you please stop tying me up?"

The man gave Huang Shaomin a cold look, and she immediately lowered her head, not daring to speak.

Before long, Yu Xiulian came in with a rope and quickly tied Huang Shaomin's hands and feet together, with the other end of the rope tied to the bed.

"Xiao Cong, that's enough. I'll take her to the bridal chamber tonight."

"it is good"
