Kang Yurong's guess was right, Wu Xiuzhi was Tang Manying.

Didn't Wu Xiuzhi go to Beijing to be a child daughter-in-law?

Why did you go to Shanghai again?

It was all thanks to her uncle, who was the culprit who pushed her into the abyss.

Xiuzhi Niang is the eldest in the family, and there were originally two elder brothers, but the second brother died unexpectedly when he was seven years old, so there was only the eldest brother left in the family.

For this baby shell, the father and mother are simply indescribable.

Xiuzhi Niang's maiden home is on the edge of Beijing City, and the family is more than enough. Xiuzhiniang is not bad-looking, and it stands to reason that no matter how good she is, she will not marry Xiuzhi's father, who is not from a good family.

However, Xiuzhi Niang came to that point because of her eldest brother.

The eldest brother who was spoiled by his father and mother was lazy to eat and do it without learning skills, and later became obsessed with smoking. The family was originally in a good situation, but within a few years, he gave Huo Huo Guang. Because of this, my father and mother were also angry.

Xiuzhi Niang reached the age of marriage, because there was a big smoker in the family, no one wanted to marry, and even the matchmaker walked around the door of her house.

As soon as he saw this, the eldest brother let out the words, as long as thirty yuan, whoever gave the money would take the person away.

Xiuzhi's father is a carpenter, and he is more well-informed about going to the east village and the west village all day long, and after getting the news, he sent the money over and brought the person home.

Although Xiuzhi's father is poor, he is honest and diligent, and he is good to Xiuzhi Niang, and Xiuzhi Niang will follow him to live with all her heart. The two of them have one heart, and they are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, so life will be better in a few years.

It was from then on that Hideeda's unsuccessful uncle came to the door every once in a while. However, the financial power of the family is in the hands of Xiuzhi's father, and Xiuzhiniang just wants to give her eldest brother money, but she can't give much.

Xiuzhi's father died, and Xiuzhiniang couldn't afford to get sick. Xiuzhi's uncle didn't think about how to treat his sister and how to avenge his brother-in-law, but again and again, under the guise of finding a doctor for his sister, kept picking money from Xiuzhiniang, and when he got the money, he hurried to smoke a lot.

The family didn't have much savings, and within a few days, Uncle Hideeda couldn't cheat his sister anymore. I can't get the money, and Uncle Hideeda won't be at the door. As for whether Xiuzhi and Xiuzhi Niang are dead or alive, that's not his business.

Two months later, Uncle Hideeda came to the door again, this time on Hideeda's idea.

He took Xiuzhi away, not to be a child bride at all, but to sell it to traffickers.

The traffickers took Xiuzhi to Shanghai, where she resold it to a brothel there. was too young, so the old bustard asked her to be a maid first.

A year later, Mr. Tang, a prostitute in his forties, accidentally bumped into Xiuzhi and bought her back when he saw that she looked good.

After entering the Tang family, Mr. Tang did not treat Xiuzhi as a maid, let the subordinates call her "Miss", changed her name, and invited someone to come to the house to teach her cultural knowledge, teach her piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and teach her foreign etiquette and language.

When Mr. Tang participates in social gatherings, he sometimes brings Xiuzhi and declares that she is a righteous daughter.

That kind of life of fine clothes and food made Wu Xiuzhi feel that he was a big disaster, and ushered in the future blessing. For Mr. Tang, the father-in-law, he is naturally grateful to the bones.

It's just that what Wu Xiuzhi didn't expect was that she, her father-in-law, was also a wolf in human skin.

Fourteen-year-old Wu Xiuzhi was taken possession by Mr. Tang, who said to the corpse-like Wu Xiuzhi while putting on his clothes: "You will have many men in the future, but the first time it must be me who comes, because I can't support you for so many years in vain." I'm a businessman, I don't trade at a loss. ”

Wu Xiuzhi was scared and ignorant at the time, she didn't know what Mr. Tang meant by "she has a lot of men", did she sell her to a brothel and let her be a prostitute/woman?

Mr. Tang is right, he is a businessman, and the Tang family used to be called in Shanghai, but he was defeated by the opponent's tricks, but Mr. Tang has always wanted to make a comeback.

To do business, you must not only have a keen sense of smell, but also have a broad network.

After Wu Xiuzhi broke the bud, he was officially pushed to the upper class by Mr. Tang, and he circled around among those high-ranking and wealthy nobles every day to pull business and find contacts for Mr. Tang.

Wu Xiuzhi is slender, sweet-looking, and versatile, and she has become a famous courtesan in Shanghai in less than two years.

When Wu Xiuzhi's fame rose, it was also the day when Mr. Tang was in the limelight in the business field.

Mr. Tang took advantage of the resources gathered by Wu Xiuzhi and slowly became the overlord of Shanghai Tang.

The tree is very popular, not to mention that Mr. Tang is ruthless, brutal, and unscrupulous, so there is naturally more hatred. finally led to a situation of "attacking it in groups".

The general trend has gone, and there is no way back, Mr. Tang packed up the fine, sold the family property, and secretly fled abroad with his family.

When Wu Xiuzhi was blocked by those big enemies to the Tang family, he only knew about it.

Those people couldn't catch Mr. Tang, so they sent all their resentment to Wu Xiuzhi. not only found someone to gang/rape her, but also used all means to abuse her. If she hadn't fooled them by pretending to be dead, it might have been the end of the fun.

After returning to her place of residence (in order to facilitate her reception of so-called friends, Mr. Tang specially bought her a house), she covered up her cripples with clothes, and then sold the house casually, dismissed her subordinates, and quietly returned to her hometown.

Her more than ten years of courtesan career came to an end, and the name "Tang Manying" slowly disappeared from people's mouths with the loss of time.

Half a year after she came back, her uncle appeared in front of her, remorseful, complaining, and asking for money to her over and over again. The uncle's stalking finally hooked out all Wu Xiuzhi's new and old hatreds, and she waved her knife in anger.

The uncle gambled and cursed, covered his wounds and left, and never came again. Whether it's dead or alive, who knows.

This is Wu Xiuzhi's unbearable past, an untold story.

After Kang Yurong left, Wu Xiuzhi looked at the wall full of clothing artwork and was silently stunned.

When she was in Shanghai, she was too slender, and most of the clothes she bought didn't fit, and it was a pity to discard them, so she repaired them herself in her spare time. Practice makes perfect, and slowly she does it well. As a result, she also developed an interest in clothing.

At that time, the dresses in Shanghai were all bought from dress-up stores, and it was inevitable that they would collide with others. In order to be different, she designed her own clothes and asked her master to make them, and no one ever collided with her again.

Before leaving, she left everything there in Shanghai, including the drawings and clothes. As for the ones on the wall, they were just a "means" for her to spend time in the long years.

When she returned, she lived a life of seclusion. It's not that she's ruthless, she just doesn't want her mutilated body to attract the sympathetic eyes of others, and she doesn't want to analyze the pain she doesn't want to mention again and again under the care of others.

This time, if it weren't for Kang Yurong's illness and "three visits to the thatched house", if it weren't for her attitude that made her feel compassion, she would never have gone out to see each other.

Although Kang Yurong was very measured, she did not show strong sympathy when she revealed her crippled body, nor did she ask the reason curiously, but she still regretted it.

Because Kang Yurong not only disturbed her tranquility, but also made her heart, which had been silent for more than ten years, a little active.

What Wu Xiuzhi thinks, Kang Yurong naturally doesn't know.

When she arrived in the city, the sky had already fallen, and in order to know the result as soon as possible, she and Liang Yu sent the clothes over together.

After trying it on, the clothes fit very well, and the customer was also very happy, and originally wanted to give more money as a thank you, but Kang Yurong refused.

"That's what we're supposed to do, you just have to pay the price of the dress," she said. If you think we're doing a good job, visit us a few times. ”

When you come out of the customer's house, it's not early. Kang Yurong asked Liang Yu not to go to the store, and she went home directly.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving. Before the people entered the house, Kang Yurong's voice floated in first.

Ke Mulan, who was tutoring Qing'er in the house with her homework, hurriedly walked out when she heard the voice: "Didn't you say that you should come back early? Why is it so late?"

"It's late today, it's worth it. The matter was done, and Kang Yurong was smiling when he spoke.

"Hmm. Ke Mulan snorted lukewarmly, walked to the table and asked while setting up the meal: "What's the value, let's hear it." ”

Kang Yurong washed his hands and face, came out of the bathroom, and shouted at Qing'er's room: "Qing'er, it's time to eat." ”

"Got it, there are a few more words, I'll come when I'm done. ”

Kang Yurong walked over, helped set the meal, and said, "The value is that the clothes are repaired and the customers are very satisfied." ”

"Oh, that Wu Xiuzhi actually agreed?" This really surprised Ke Mulan, he thought that with Wu Xiuzhi's cold strength, he would not agree to be killed. He asked curiously, "Why did she agree?"

Kang Yurong said: "I was probably influenced by my indomitable spirit. Wu Xiuzhi said that her spirit of looking at the thatched house touched her.

Ke Mulan was amused by her cheekiness.

Qing'er washed her hands and ran over, and the three of them sat around and began to eat.

Kang Yurong said: "I think the reason why Wu Xiuzhi is reluctant to help is because she doesn't want others to touch her private life, no matter what, her background is strange and pitiful. And she really can't help because she doesn't have a left hand. ”

"No left hand?" Ke Mulan looked at the other party and couldn't help but repeat it again.

Kang Yurong nodded and told Ke Mulan what he saw.

"I dare to conclude that those beautiful 'clothes' on the wall were painted by Wu Xiuzhi. But why doesn't she want to admit it? Tell me, I'm not going to preach it to her. ”

Ke Mulan said: "Perhaps, behind those beautiful 'clothes' lies a story that is not beautiful for Wu Xiuzhi." ”

"I also think she's a person with a story, and that story is never a good story. It's just, what kind of story is that?"

Ke Mulan shook her head and smiled, knowing that it was not a good story, but her curiosity was still so strong, there was no one but her.

Wu Xiuzhi's story, Kang Yurong probably can't know it in his life.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that Wu Xiuzhi, whom she had worked so hard to meet, not only helped her at a critical moment, but also became her "cash cow" in the days to come.
