In the remote village, the villagers were uneducated.
Ignorant people can do many things.
The butcher Gu Minmin married, actually used her to make money.
The other party was infertile and never expected Gu Minmin to bear him children.
No matter how beautiful a woman is, there comes a time when the novelty wears off. Within a few years, the butcher began to use Gu Minmin to support the family.
Not only did he let others have their way with her.
But he himself also often visited widows in various villages for his own pleasure.
Gu Minmin died by suicide; the look of despair in her eyes when she died in the dream still tugs at Gu Jin's heart.
How desperate and helpless she must have felt to take the step of ending her own life.
In her previous life, she clearly understood her position, recognized her dispensable status, and survived within the Zhen and Liu families' challenges, yet didn't reach the point of suicide.
