The transmigrated younger sister of a powerful figure in a novel is forced to become the beloved pet

Chapter 116 The tip of the iceberg

Yuan Yangyang froze, then asked uncertainly, "What did you just say, a surrogacy village?"

Yuan Si'an also frowned.

"Yes, you heard me right. I only found out after I was rescued that outsiders call villages like ours surrogacy villages."

Dong Meier's expression was very calm, as if she were telling someone else's story.

"More than half of the women in that village were trafficked. Once they were sold to the village, they were destined to never leave it for the rest of their lives."

Having children isn't just about carrying on the male line; it's about earning money for them and supporting their entire family.

"The women who are sold to the village will get pregnant almost every year. Once the child is born, it will be taken away by the buyer with whom the deal has already been made."

Then the woman rests for two months, then gets pregnant again, and the cycle repeats endlessly.

Many women end up dying on the operating table during childbirth.

"The men in the village don't need to go out to work or do any labor. They can live a life of luxury simply by the women selling their children."

Their sole task each day was to keep an eye on these women to prevent them from escaping.

This was the first time Yuan Yangyang had heard these things from someone in person. Even though Dong Meier's expression was calm and her tone was uneventful, it was still much more shocking to Yuan Yangyang than seeing cold text descriptions in the news.

[Surrogacy village? I remember the book mentioning an underground surrogacy agency that specialized in providing surrogacy services for wealthy wives or female celebrities who didn't want children. It took advantage of quite a few women.]

[I never imagined this surrogacy village would be so outrageous; they don't treat women like human beings at all! It's despicable!]

[How old was she back then? I wonder what she went through to become so indifferent to life and death. No wonder the butler pleaded for her; he probably felt sorry for her!]

As Yuan Yangyang thought this, the expression in her eyes unconsciously betrayed her thoughts.

Dong Meier changed the subject, saying, "Fortunately, we were all rescued. I heard that many people in the village were arrested."

"So after you were rescued, how have you been living for the past two years?"

Thinking about the relationship between Dong Meier and Wan Bang, Yuan Yangyang tentatively asked a question.

Yuan Si'an's gaze towards Dong Mei'er gradually deepened, and an idea took shape in his mind.

Dong Meier pursed her lips, stopped speaking, picked up the scissors, and turned to continue pruning the flower branches.

His words and actions clearly showed his resistance to Fang Cai's question.

After thinking for a moment, Yuan Yangyang changed the subject, "Uncle Butler has been taking good care of you. How have you been adjusting these past few days?"

"Mmm." Dong Mei'er pursed her lips and smiled from the bottom of her heart.

“I really like these flowers, and the housekeeper asked me to take care of them. I’m doing very well.”

Yuan Yangyang advised, "This is the life you should be living. Those surrogacy agencies that make money by exploiting women's bodies should not exist in the first place."

If I find out anyone is still doing this kind of shady business, I will definitely not stand idly by.

Dong Mei'er paused, and her movements became flustered.

Yuan Yangyang continued to persuade, "You should know better than me how much harm those illegal surrogacy practices cause to women."

If you know anything, I hope you will speak up so that more women can be rescued.

Looking into the girl's clear eyes, Dong Meier felt a pang of sadness.

Compared to the other person, she felt utterly inadequate.

She spoke slowly, her voice dry, "What if those people were there voluntarily?"

As expected, she really did know.

Yuan Si'an's eyes also sharpened, awaiting further developments.

Yuan Yangyang: "Whether they volunteered or were deceived is something that Uncle Hat needs to judge."

What we need to do is expose these illegal organizations and prevent more girls from being harmed as a result.

"You're willing to help them, right?"

Dong Mei'er was persuaded and told what she knew.

It turned out that after Dong Meier was rescued, she had nowhere to go and no education.

I finally found a cleaning job, but just before payday, the company went bankrupt and the place was deserted.

She originally lived in the company's storage room, but now she was penniless and had nowhere to go.

Just when she was going through her most difficult time, Wanbang found her.

The other party knew her background and her past experiences.

They directly promised her 100,000 yuan if she successfully gave birth to a boy as they requested.

She had no way out, and despite her inner resistance, she reluctantly agreed.

However, when she was in the village, her body was not fully developed before she became pregnant and gave birth, which caused great damage to her body.

In Wanbang, she became pregnant twice, but ultimately failed to give birth.

On the contrary, Wan Bang invested a lot of money in her.

Dong Meier knew that if Wan Bang couldn't earn back the money he had invested in her, he wouldn't let her go easily.

Therefore, when Wanbang proposed to take her eggs, she did not refuse, nor was she able to refuse.

"I've wanted to leave there for a long time," Dong Meier said calmly.

"On the one hand, I don't know where to go, and on the other hand, Wanbang won't let me leave easily."

“If he doesn’t agree, I have no relatives or friends, and even if I run away, he will catch me and bring me back.”

"Speaking of which, I should thank you for giving me a reason to leave that place."

Yuan Yangyang and Yuan Si'an exchanged a glance and saw the shock in each other's eyes.

It turned out that it wasn't just a simple egg-selling agency; it was also involved in illegal surrogacy.

In a big city with so many surveillance cameras, to use the guise of a testing agency to do illegal things is just too brazen.

Yuan Si'an's heart pounded like a drum. He was right; Dong Mei'er really did come from that shady organization.

However, to his surprise, the illegal organization was even bolder than they had imagined.

I wonder how long that organization has been around, and how many girls have suffered at its hands.

"Do you know how many girls like you are inside?" Yuan Yangyang asked anxiously.

Now that she had started talking, Dong Mei'er didn't hide anything and told everyone she knew.

Yuan Yangyang was alarmed by the names and data she heard.

Unexpectedly, such an inconspicuous and unscrupulous organization has such a huge business, and so many girls provide services for them.

This is just what Dong Meier saw; how much more could she have missed?

"Fifth Brother, we have to tell Dad right away. This is a big deal. We have to tell Uncle Hat first," Yuan Yangyang said hurriedly.

"Moreover, it is best to remain still and not alert the illicit organization until all the details are clear."

"I understand, I'll do as you say!"

With a solemn expression, Yuan Si'an pulled Yuan Yangyang back to find her father.

As Dong Meier watched Yuan Si'an protect Yuan Yangyang as they walked away, a hint of envy flashed in her eyes.

It felt much lighter to finally talk about what had been weighing on my mind.
