I've Got a Good Price

While I was working myself to the bone at the sewing machine on the assembly line,

my older brother, who was in college,

jumped off a building to kill himself.

Because he’d been dumped.

But he didn’t die. He only lost the use of both his legs.

“Linlin, your brother is no good. We can only count on you for the rest of our lives.” My parents, who favored boys over girls, clutched me and wept.

The moment I let my guard down, they sold me for a good price.

They demanded a bride price of 288,000 yuan. My dowry?

Just two quilts...

In my previous life, I was beaten to death by my husband.

In this life, I won’t let any of them get away with it.
