"Kefu?" Cui Ying'er glanced into the distance hatefully: "The people in this town say that I am Cui Ying'er Kefu, but who knows, this is just a man's own greed." ”

"What do you mean, ma'am?"

"Do you know who got my reputation out of Kefu?"

"Who is it?"

"My father's concubine, a big family called a side room. My mother was only fourteen years old when she married my father, and my father was poor at that time, and my mother suffered a lot with him. On top of me, there are two people who don't know if they are brothers or sisters, but because they are poor and tired, they can't keep it. The child was gone, his body was injured, and by the time my mother conceived me, she was already sick. I, Cui Ying'er, was able to be born, which is simply blessed by God.

At that time, my father bought a few acres of land, and learned to do business with others, and also accumulated some silver in his hand, so he took advantage of the fact that my mother was pregnant and could not serve him, and found a concubine outside. The concubine entered the door with the front foot, and the back foot was pregnant again, and when she saw that my mother was not in good health, she thought about making her angry to death, and she was a good wife. As a result, my mother was not angry, but because of hatred, she accidentally tripped over the threshold when she went out and lost the child in her womb.

After I was born, because of my good looks, I was held around by my father to show off, saying that he would still count on me to be a glorious lintel for his daughter in the future. The little concubine was resentful, so she deliberately spread rumors that I was born to be a Kefu. ”

"Does your dad know?"

"I didn't know it at first, but then I knew, but what can I do if I know it? The reason why a rumor is a rumor is a rumor is because it is false, but knowing that it is false, everyone will still listen to it, believe it, and be willing to take it as true. After the age of eight or nine, I became more and more good-looking, and there were more and more rumors outside.

When I was twelve years old, my mother died of illness, and before leaving, she called my father to the bedside. My mother said that I was born beautiful, but I was born in an ordinary family, which is not a good thing. Let him not be greedy, and just find a solid husband for me in the future. But my father and his concubine didn't think so. My father hoped that he could sell me for a good price, and my concubine hoped that my future life would be better than death. ”

Cui Ying'er showed a mocking smile: "What did they say? They said that it was because of my Kefu that no one dared to come to my Cui family to propose marriage, but they never said that it was because the son of the Wang family was a fool, a fool, and there was no girl in this town who was willing to marry, so their Wang family chose our Cui family. The Wang family is rich, the Cui family has a daughter, and the other party is a fool, which just fits my father's concubine's thoughts, and as soon as the wind blows on her pillow, I was carried out of the Cui family by the Wang family. ”

"I heard that not long after you entered the door, the father and son of the Wang family died."

"It's not like that, because of this incident, I have suffered in the Wang family for more than a year, and I have completely fallen into the charge of a Kefu."

"The death of the Wang family's father and son actually has nothing to do with you, right?"

"Not really." Cui Ying'er looked down at her nails: "The husband I married is called Wang Chong, although his brain is not clear, but his heart is like a child." As a self-starter, he was genuine to me. Don't hide it from my wife, at that time, I also sincerely wanted to live in the Wang family, and I wanted to live a good life with my foolish husband. But the Wang family is not only my foolish husband, his father and mother are not good things. ”

Cui Ying'er shook her hand: "Madame, do you believe it?" The lady Wang actually asked me to stay with her husband, who was my father-in-law at the time, on the grounds that I should add another heir to the Wang family, and said that it was my foolish husband. How can I agree to such a ridiculous thing. They said that I was disobedient and did not think about the Wang family, and deliberately let the Wang family lock me up in the firewood room, until I was starved and dying, and then took advantage of the fact that I had no ability to resist at all, and let the lord of the Wang family, that is, my father-in-law at the time, bully me.

This kind of thing, with the first time, there will be a second time, and it didn't take long for me to find out that I had my husband's brother or sister in my womb. I thought that the absurd thing could finally be over, and I just had to wait quietly for my child to be born. But that old man Wang is not a thing at all, and he even secretly came to me without telling his wife. When I didn't comply, I punched and kicked me, and I took pity on my child, who was gone in less than three months.

When Mrs. Wang found out, she didn't dare to accuse her lord of her own house, but complained that I didn't know how to be polite, righteous and shameful, and once again locked me up in the firewood room, and said that she would starve me to death. My foolish husband didn't know where to get the news, but he wanted to save me out, and in a panic, he had an argument with Master Wang. I don't know who carried the knife, but it ended up in the chest of Master Wang.

My foolish husband saw no blood, and retreated again and again in fright, never thinking that he would stumble and fall on the rockery, and the person was also killed. sweet potato

Mrs. Wang didn't dare to report to the official, worried that she would not be able to hide these ridiculous things of the Wang family when she went to court, so she declared to the public that the father and son of the Wang family died of illness, and the reason for the death was because of my Kefu. I didn't bother to argue, so I simply packed up some of my things and left the Wang family. ”

"It turns out that this kind of thing really happens in the world." Yan Suwen whispered, looking at Cui Ying'er, there was inevitably some sympathy in her eyes.

"There's something worse than that. When I left the Wang family, I was full of grievances, but I didn't know how to tell outsiders about this grievance. I can only hold it alone, hold it alone. The Wang family can't stay, I can only return to the Cui family, but the water spilled by the daughter who married out and come back is simply annoying.

The little concubine looked at me as an eyesore, made me look at it all day long, and took out the affairs of the Wang family at every turn. It was my scar, but it was unscrupulously uncovered by her again and again, so that I could only face that bloody self. ”

"Is the marriage of the Zhang family also the master of your aunt?"

"Auntie, is she worthy?" Cui Ying'er snorted coldly: "It's my own master." When the Zhang family went to propose, I happened to be there, so I personally responded. ”

"Is Zhang Guangen good to you?"

"Not good!" Cui Ying'er lowered her head: "The only one in this world who is good to me, except for my mother, is only that fool." ”

"How is he treating you badly?"

"How is it bad? Everyone in this town knows that he has a short temper and likes to beat his own wife the most. Qiaoqiao's mother-in-law was beaten by him when she was alive. I really like Qiaoqiao's child, and I think she's just as pitiful as I am. Cui Ying'er sighed: "I know what Madame wants to ask, but my husband's death really has nothing to do with me." Yes, I hate him, but I don't want him to die, he is dead, and I am afraid that no one in this town will dare to marry me again. ”

Cui Ying'er raised her eyes, smiled lightly, and rolled up one of her sleeves in front of Yan Suwen: "On the night of marriage, he asked me to kneel in the courtyard, saying that I was born with a fox statue, and after entering the door, it will definitely humiliate their Zhang family." He also said that he wanted to teach me a lesson and let me remember it well, so as not to ruin the style of their Zhang family. He first hit me with a rattan stick, here and here, and I rolled on the ground with my teeth. And that's not all, he also brought a basin of cold water and poured it directly on me, and made me stand in the yard for a whole night, and the next morning, I felt that I was going to become a lifeless piece of wood, but it was by chance that this kid brought me a bowl of hot soup, and then called me back from the underworld.

I originally thought that even for the sake of Qiaoqiao, I should stay in this house well, but he is not a man at all, and he can't do it himself, but he is suspicious of me all day long, looking for words of one kind or another to humiliate me. Since living a good life is being beaten, then I simply don't live well. Didn't he say that I was a fox by nature? Then I deliberately flirted with the guests who came here to eat. Didn't he say that I was inappropriate and ruined the Zhang family's style, then I deliberately accepted the gifts given to me by those guests, and deliberately wore them in front of him. The more he tortured me, the more wanton I lived, and finally I felt that being a bad woman was the happy thing. ”

"Won't you get more beatings and scolding if you do this?"

"I thought I was going to be beaten to death by him, but he stopped beating me. I think it started from that time. The son-in-law of the official came to us to eat fish, and I entertained him, and he drank at that time, and when he saw me laughing and talking to the guests, he grabbed my hair and tried to beat me, but he was taught a lesson by the prince. The boy also left a message, saying that if he dared to insult me in the future, he would be put in prison. He was probably afraid, but he really never hit me again from that day on, and occasionally said a few words, but I heard it as if I didn't hear it. ”

"Does your husband, that is, Zhang Guangen, have enemies?"

"There are no enemies, but there are debt collectors." Cui Ying'er stroked her hair: "In addition to fishing, his favorite thing is to go to the free gambling house in the town." He loves to gamble, but the gambling is not good, he takes the money when he wins, and sits on the ground when he loses. He couldn't change the money he owed to the gambling house, and most of it was paid back by his mother, that is, my mother-in-law. Madame, don't look at the booming business of our restaurant, and the money you can earn is far from keeping up with the hole in him. Just before the accident, I heard that he owed a large amount of silver, and the people in the gambling house shouted that they would take Qiaoqiao away to settle the account. Later, he was scared to death by thunder, and the people from the gambling house came twice, and when they saw our orphans and widows, they coincidentally became mute again, and they didn't feel much trouble. ”

"Don't you have to pay back the money you owe?"

"Also, of course, I have to pay it back, the people in the gambling house are not the kind of reasonable, but the time has been given a lot of grace." Cui Ying'er looked at the lake and sighed: "No matter what, I won't let them take Qiaoqiao away." ”
