The cool breeze blew past Bai Chen’s messy long hair. The fine hair was swept up showing his pale and sweaty face. At this moment, Bai Chen looked even more embarrassed and weak.
Bai Chen frowned. His petite body was half lying on the ground. His coarse clothes on his body were slightly scattered, exposing his thin and delicate collarbone. Many dry leaves fell on his clothes with a few small holes open a little all over the place.
His two skinny little hands supported himself on the ground. Bai Chen struggled to prop up his upper body from the ground and look at his ankle.
He saw that his trouser legs on both of his feet were slightly rolled up, exposing his swollen ankles. His legs were small and thin, but his ankle was swollen, very red and looked scary.
A pain came from his ankle, Bai Chen pursed his lips.
It hurts.
The system that sent Bai Chen to this poor body, at this moment, also noticed Bai Chen’s predicament. Looking at his injured ankle, the system sucked in a cold breath.
System: [Little master, no pain no pain. We don’t feel pain.]
The system is distressed. It has always been strict on choosing the wisher for Bai Chen, all their identities were carefully scrutinized strictly. It was afraid that it would wrong Bai Chen in that life, but since the last world, it no longer has the right to choose the world.
Although the system knew why, it still couldn’t help complaining.
Its little master has been pampered since childhood, where has he ever had to endure all this pain? The system looks at the information of the wisher in this world, it old mother’s heart hurts, it aches. Looking at Bai Chen’s embarrassed appearance now, it just want to jump out and change the world for Bai Chen directly.
System: [Little master, you are going to be wronged in this world.] It’s frustrating, his identity in this world is even more miserable than the previous world.
Bai Chen couldn’t stand the pain in his ankle, and this body, except for his ankle injury, there were also many small aches all over the place that were covered by his clothes. Even if he didn’t look, Bai Chen knew that there were many wounds on his body.
Bai Chen supported his body and crawled a few steps forward. Leaning against the sturdy tree, he took a few breaths.
This body seems weak.
Mo Yuan is not here. Bai Chen suppressed the sadness in his heart and the urge to act like a spoiled child, [System, send me this body information.]
Bai Chen, who accepted the information, was stunned.
This world is little different from the world he has come into contact with in the past.
Men in this world can have children.
No, not man, but ge’er.
This world is amazing, it has three genders. There’s woman, man, and ge’er.
There will be a red mark between the ge’er eyebrow. Their body structure is the same as that of man but their body is smaller than man. Their strength is also not as good as a man from birth. Their facial features are not as rough as that of a man, they are closer to the beautiful and delicate woman. Not only that, they can also have children just like women.
It’s just that compared to women, ge’er fertility is not as good as women and difficult to get pregnant. In their lifetime, they can at most have two children.
Poor fertility and can’t get a woman to get pregnant, have less strength and can’t do heavy work. This makes ge’er status in this world very low. Only men from poor families who cannot marry a woman will fall back and ask for a ge’er. As for those big families, if they look at ge’er, at most, they would only be a concubine to play with.
And Bai Chen’s identity this time is a ge’er.
The original owner’s name is Mian ge’er. Ge’er usually don’t have surnames. Only after marrying into their husband’s family can they take on their husband’s surname. If taken as a concubine and was favored, with the consent of their husband’s family, can the surname be given. Otherwise, they will only have a first name and no surname for the rest of their life.
Mian ge’er is an ordinary ge’er in Ruan family Village. He is fifteen years old, but because he often doesn’t get enough to eat, he was thin and petite. He was only 1.6 meters tall. His skin on his face is sallow, his chin is small and pointed, his face is no bigger than the palm of an adult man’s hand. His body looked so weak as if he was about to fall due to malnutrition.
Mian ge’er grandparents passed away one after another last year. His parents are now separated from their few uncles. Life was a little better than when they were still living together but not much better.
Mian ge’er’s mother gave birth to four children in her life. Mian ge’er was the third child with two older brothers and one younger sister.
His two older brothers are labor, and also have the responsibility of passing on their lineage, they are the most important at home. The second most important is Ruan Ayao, Mian ge’er younger sister. Ruan Ayao is only one year younger than Mian ge’er. In Ruan family Village, she was one of the beautiful ones so the family has always been spoiling her. They only hoped that Ruan Ayao will marry a rich family in the future so they can get an abundant betrothal price. After marriage, she can secretly help the family with her husband’s money.
And Mian ge’er is the least valued by the family. In this world, especially in poor families, they all see ge’er as worthless. Therefore, regardless of whether it was before or after their marriage, ge’er generally have a hard life.
Those who marry ge’er are poor people that couldn’t get a generous salary. Before getting married, the family will always take the principle that they won’t make a loss on this transaction so they make the ge’er do all the work. After getting married to the poor husband, they won’t be able to provide enough, and since the family is poor, there is no less work than at home.
Mian ge’er is naturally like that too. They don’t have much money at home. His two brothers in the family have to spend a lot of money to marry a wife and have children. They want his sister to marry into a good family so she naturally couldn’t do the rough work. Therefore, in addition to the heavy work that his brothers can’t do, the rest of the work falls on Mian ge’er. He has to go to town from time to time to pick up some embroidery work to supplement the family. He was busy like a spinning top every day, and he was still considered worthless. His every meal was all leftover at the end. When the family finishes eating, it will be his turn. If nothing is left, Mian ge’er will just starve.
Bai Chen frowned and continued to read.
These ge’er don’t complain because almost all the ge’er in the village are in the same situation, that’s why Mian ge’er also didn’t think there’s anything wrong.
It was when he was fifteen years old and he went up the mountain to collect firewood that his fate took a big turn.
Mian ge’er works all year round, his skin is not good and his face is more sallow, looking very ordinary but his facial features are actually very delicate, especially those eyes. It was black and bright, it looked as if there were stars inside it.
Every time people in the village saw Mian ge’er, they couldn’t help but praise his eyes.
It is also because of these eyes that Mian ge’er was noticed by Ruan Eergou, the lazy good-for-nothing in the village.
Ruan Ergou did not study well since he was a child. He was always stealing chickens and dogs, gambling and fighting for anything. He often mixed with the hoodlum from the surrounding villages. Everyone in the village avoided him, no one wanted to get involved with Ruan Ergou.
This Ruan Ergou is now a 20 year old man but has yet to marry a wife. Two years ago, he lost dozens of silver taels in the town casino. He was threatened to pay back the money, otherwise, his hand would be chopped off.
That’s a lot of money. To pay back the money, Ruan Ergou stole his mother’s pension money and the money saved for him to marry a wife, making his mother, that suffered every possible torment to raise him, anger to death.
He was not filial. After his mother died, to save money, he didn’t even do a funeral. He went up the mountain, dig it up and buried her. For this reason, the village chief of Ruan family village went up the mountain specially. As a result, Ruan Ergou drove him away.
With no parents and in deep debt, Ruan Ergou, whose character is still bad, naturally makes no one want to marry. Even if it is a ge’er, no one would marry their ge’er to such a person. Of course, the whole village naturally talks about him behind his back.
It has just started so Ruan Ergou doesn’t really care and lives calmly by himself. But not long after, he doesn’t feel at ease anymore. He was the only one left in the house. No one prepares his meal, does his laundry, does housework, no extra income. Ruan Ergou gradually became a little irritated and started to look for someone to take care of him.
But he has no money. Even ge’er doesn’t want to marry him, and he also looks down on ge’er either. He prefers women.
It’s been like that for two years, Ruan Ergou hasn’t got a wife. Whether it was in or out of the village, all will avoid him. One day, when he went out to steal chicken and dogs, he bumped into Mian ge’er. He noticed Mian ge’er beautiful eyes and started thinking about Mian ge’er.
He knew about Mian ge’er situation at home. He also knows that no one will marry their ge’er to him. Ruan Ergou, who has not been able to get a wife for the past two years, got a bad idea, becoming brave and vicious.
He followed Mian ge’er, who went up the mountain to collect firewood, and blocked Mian ge’er. Since there’s no one in the mountain, he dragged Mian ge’er to the grass to do it. Then he forced Mian ge’er to go back to the village and demand a marriage.
It became a big deal and spread throughout the village. Ruan Ergou even threatened that if they don’t get Mian ge’er marry him, he will just babbled it to other villages. In order to not affect the village reputation and make other girls and ge’er in the village never get to marry, in desperation, the village chief and the clan elders could only try to smooth things over and make Mian ge’er married Ruan Ergou. To protect their daughter, Mian ge’er’s parents sever ties with Mian ge’er and kick Mian ge’er out of the house.
At the same time, in order to prevent Ruan Ergou from doing such extreme things in the future, after the two quickly got married, the village chief also made the decision to drive Ruan Ergou out of the village.
Ruan Ergou, who was used to getting spoiled, did not expect that the consequences of this incident would be so serious. He hasn’t even been happy for a few days, then attributes this matter onto Mian ge’er. Mian ge’er, who lost his home and was kicked out of the village together, eat and sleeps in the open air every day with Ruan Ergou. He has to endure Ruan Ergou’s daily domestic violence. After that, to make money for Ruan Ergou to eat, drink, and have fun, he was pulled by Ruan Ergou to town and other villages. He forces Mian ge’er to have relationships with other people.
Mian ge’er couldn’t bear the humiliation and tried to kill himself several times without success. Instead, Ruan Ergou’s outbreak toward him became more severe. In order to punish Mian ge’er for his disobedience, Ruan Ergou also continuously made Mian ge’er take customers to make money.
In the end, Mian ge’er died tragically in an old man’s bed. Not a single piece of his skin on his body was good when he died. Those formerly beautiful eyes were open wide.
That year, Mian ge’er was only sixteen years old.
It’s the golden years in one life.
T/N: The last line could also mean the best age in their life to fall in love.
Btw…Can I kill that Ergou? ( ๑•◡•)╦̵̵̿╤── Ruan Ergou
Doesn’t matter how many times I had read this chapter, I still can’t get over my baby Mian ge’er life (༎ຶ⌑༎ຶ) just…why?! (┛ಠДಠ)┛彡┻━┻
