Chapter 4: The Stepmother's Premeditation
The stepmother in the house was foaming and scolding, it was a little cold in the dark night, Du Xiaowan sat on the steps, leaning against the door, the light from the crack in the door made her feel very warm, and it was faintly like a figure coming over in the dark.
"Why are you sitting outside?" Xiao Wan looked up and vaguely saw a tall boy in a suit, the light was a little dim, and she saw a mask looming, and the man's voice was very good, "I was kicked out" "Where is your mother?" The boy asked, "I don't know where my mother is......" Xiao Wan shook her head timidly, the boy didn't ask any more, and handed Xiao Wan some food, "This is for you, I don't need it, and this ......" The boy took out a dozen money from his trouser pocket, put it next to Xiao Wan, and turned around without saying anything.
"Thank you," Xiao Wan looked at the bag of delicious food, and the money, and looked at the boy who was leaving, the figure was tall, Xiao Wan thought to herself that if I marry me, I hope I can marry a boy like him, maybe it is really providence, Du Xiaowan is destined to meet him.
Early in the morning, the stepmother opened the door and saw Du Xiaowan sleeping by the door, and went up to wake up Xiaowan with a kick, Xiaowan woke up in a panic, stood up in a panic, and the thing fell to the ground instantly, and the stepmother saw the scattered money at a glance, pushed Xiaowan away, and took it all, "Dead girl, is this what you hidden?" Xiaowan stammered about last night, and her stepmother thought to herself that she had gone out of her shit luck, and if I could marry him, wouldn't I have made it?
Four years have passed in a blink of an eye, and it has been four years since her father's death, and Du Xiaowan has never seen the strange little brother wearing a mask that night.
Du Xiaowan cooked well in the morning, stood aside and waited for her stepmother to come to eat, her stepmother was not angry when she saw her, Xiaowan was heartbroken, "Mom, as long as you agree that I won't marry, I'll go out to work to support you," the stepmother heard this, and her shrugging face immediately changed, "Yo, this is what you said, I didn't force you" Xingyan glanced at Xiaowan, and since then, the stepmother only has money in her eyes, and Du Xiaowan has become a money-making machine.
A girl who has not yet graduated, how can she have a suitable job, in order to prevent her stepmother from selling herself like a pig, Du Xiaowan will do no matter how dirty and tiring the work is.
Shine shoes, deliver newspapers, she is busy, she can't even drink saliva one day, just arrived at the door after dark, the stepmother stood at the door with a black face, stretched out her palm, Xiaowan took out three or two gross tickets, and the stepmother yelled loudly, "Just these three melons and two dates, enough to do something, you are not allowed to eat today," the stepmother slammed the door and entered the back room.
Du Xiaowan was tired and hungry, touched her cooing belly, took a water scoop and drank a stomach of cold water, "What are you rubbing, don't hurry up and go to bed, you dead girl, just a little money a day, and if you can't earn money tomorrow, don't come back." The stepmother grumbled.
Xiao Wan tiptoed back to the room, gently closed her door, staggered to the bed, tired and fell on the bed, tears came out of her eyes, she missed her mother so much, her father could be by her side at this moment, tears soaked the pillow, and fell asleep in a daze.
"Xiaowan, baby girl," as if she heard her father's voice in a daze, she sat up with a plop, "Dad?" You're back," tears flowed down her cheeks, "girl, this is your own mother," the father looked at the woman standing beside him, thin and feeling like himself, "Mom? Xiao Wan got out of bed and threw herself at her mother, "Girl, protect yourself, I'm leaving with your mother......" Who knew that with her father's voice, her parents dissipated with the wind, "Dad, Mom, don't go, don't leave Wan'er......" Du Xiaowan got up violently, opened her eyes, the room was empty, there was no shadow of her parents, only her lonely self, crying, Xiao Wan grabbed the quilt and covered her mouth, she was afraid that her crying would provoke her stepmother, why would it be a dream, "Dad, Mom, Wan'er misses you so much."
"When has it been, don't you go to work yet, do you still want to eat?" Outside the house, her stepmother complained, Xiaowan quickly wiped away her tears, tidied up and walked out of the house, "Mom, I haven't eaten yet, can you give me porridge to drink?" Xiao Wan tugged at the placket of her clothes in fear, and stammered a few words, "Dinner?" Bring? The stepmother held out her hand, "Take what?" Xiao Wan became even more timid. With a snap, the stepmother slammed the chopsticks on the table, "Money, what do you eat if you don't have money, did I raise you for nothing?" The stepmother scolded Xiao Wan, her hands were not idle, she crackled, Xiao Wan hid and ran out of the door, "Dead Nizi, if you can't get the money back, just get out of me" The door was closed.
Du Xiaowan was hungry all night, didn't eat breakfast, was beaten out again, rubbed her shoulders, wiped away her tears, and carried the box to work. "Xiaowan, Du Xiaowan." Xiao Wan heard someone calling her, Xiao Wan looked around, someone in the corner of the wall was waving to her, she took a closer look, Rong Rong?
Rong Rong's neighbor Uncle Li's daughter, the two are like sisters, Xiao Wan quickly walked to Rong Rong's side, Rong Rong pulled Xiao Wan over, for fear of being seen, "What's wrong Rong Rong?" Rong Rong took out a steamed bun from her arms and handed it to Xiao Wan, "Eat quickly, eat quickly, what are you doing in a daze." Rong Rong urged Xiao Wan to eat quickly, Xiao Wan bit the steamed bun, her tears were completely uncontrollable, Rong Rong wiped away Xiao Wan's tears with her cuffs, and she also cried.
"Where did you get the steamed buns? How do you know I'm starving? Du Xiaowan asked Rong Rong indistinctly, Rong Rong Yile, "Fool, I stole it from home, I was going to see you last night, I saw you being scolded by the old woman outside the house, I didn't dare to go forward, you won't blame me Xiaowan," Rong Rong was a little embarrassed, tearing the corners of her clothes, "How could it be Rong Rong, since my dad left, you are left with me, how can I blame you, I also know your family, your dad left all the good ones to your brother, you give me steamed buns to eat, Rong Rong and I ......" The two sisters hugged each other and comforted each other.
"I'm full, I'm going to work Rong Rong," Xiao Wan wiped away the tears on Rong Rong's face, Rong Rong secretly looked around, "I'll go back quickly, otherwise I'll be beaten again, I'm trying to find a way to steal food for you," Rong Rong ran back home with a cigarette, Xiao Wan felt a sour feeling in her heart, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and started the day's work.
The stepmother was idle at home, her apricot eyes were flipping back and forth, thinking in her heart how could Du Xiaowan make more money, such a beautiful face, she couldn't grow in vain, dead Nizi, you are a cash cow? The stepmother moved back and forth in the room, her brows furrowed at times, relaxed at times, and suddenly, those apricot eyes rolled and slapped her thighs, "There is." A wicked smile appeared on the corner of the stepmother's mouth.
