However, why did she feel so resigned?
Olive stood there dumbly as she cried. Then, she broke down laughing.
After a while, Olive calmed and prepared to find a place to eat something.
However, when she passed an alleyway, Olive suddenly stood still. She heard a heart-wrenching cry from the alleyway.
The cries were of children and women, and they sounded desolate and heart-wrenching.
As soon as she heard the cries, Olive thought of her situation and felt emotional. Then, she walked into the alleyway without any hesitation.
Gasp!
Olivia's delicate body trembled with anger and heartache when she entered the alleyway and saw the scene in front of her.
A decently dressed middle-aged man stood there with an impatient face. A few men surrounded him. A mother and daughter sat on the ground; they were crying as they held onto each other.
The mother and daughter, dressed in patched clothes, were filthy and pitiful.
There was a stretcher next to them. It looked like there was a dead body under the white cloth that covered it. Olivia presumed it was the little girl's father.
The mother's name was Yee, and the little girl's name was Fang.
Fang's father had died in an accident, and the family was suddenly left without a source of income. They could not even afford to bury Fang's father.
Yee had no choice but to sell Fang so that she could bury her husband with that money.
The mother and daughter had sat there the entire day before a kind middle-aged man finally came across them. However, Fang continued to cry and refused to leave.
When she saw her daughter crying, Yee could not bear it and broke down and cried too.
The middle-aged man lost his patience when he saw them crying. He frowned and said, "Is your daughter still for sale? If not, I'm leaving."
The middle-aged man, Lee Dong, was a businessman passing through Japonica Town. It was a coincidence that he saw Yee trying to sell her daughter to get money to bury her husband.
When he noticed that Fang was good-looking and well-behaved, he decided to buy her. He did not expect Fang to refuse to leave her mother.
"Fang."
