Family on Their Knees Heart Turned to Ice novel Chapter 769

"So, they started sending the boys to school.

Dolores begged to go, but if she left, who would do the chores?

They forced her to stay home and slave away while her brother got an education.

The tragic irony is that neither of them are exactly academic material. The more they spoil the boy, the lazier and more entitled he becomes.

And the more he fails, the more resources they pour into him, desperately trying to make him a success.

They suppress the girls in the family just to bleed them dry for their precious sons.

They believe that girls are just like me—that once we leave the mountains and find success, we become outsiders who won't give them anything.

But the boys are different. They view the boys as the true heirs. So Dolores is denied an education, and once, when they were tight on cash, they actually sold her off for a couple thousand dollars.

I was absolutely furious when I found out.

She was the only one in that house who reminded me of myself. Because of my success, they cracked down on her even harder. I couldn't bear it, so I went back and saved her.

I wanted to take her with me and raise her, but they refused.

They needed her as a maid, and no matter how much I fought, I had no legal right to her.

She's my sister's daughter, not mine. My hands were tied.

I had no idea they brought her to the city this time."

Lillian felt a wave of profound sympathy as she listened.

The girls born in that village were truly trapped in a living nightmare.

To be treated like livestock by their own parents, sold off for a mere couple of thousand dollars...

It was utterly barbaric.

What kind of monsters could be so ruthless?
