Du Xiaowan dodged in despair, and shouted to her father in her dying, "Dad, save Xiaowan," Xiaowan lay on the ground and shouted to her father, her father hurried home after work, and not far away he heard his daughter's heart-rending screams and cries for help, and the father pushed open the door with an arrow step, and the scene in front of him made his father stunned.

Under the faint yellow light, the daughter lay on the ground and was dying, the tender wife, holding the stick high, roared the daughter lying on the ground with a hideous face, "Stop, you stinky woman," the father snatched the stick from the stepmother's hand, the stepmother was stunned by the father who suddenly broke in, and said in horror "Old man, I didn't hit her, I ......" The stepmother stammered and quibbled, "snap" The father slapped the stepmother in the face, and his hands trembled angrily, not knowing how to touch the daughter who was full of pain.

The father's heart hurt like a knife, picked up Xiaowan and gently put it on the bed, blood oozed out of the broken clothes, the father gently took off Xiaowan's clothes, wiped the blood stains on her body little by little, and her daughter showed different shades of bruises, "Doing evil for my father, this is still my Xiaowan......" The father's tears fell on Xiaowan's thin cheeks, Xiaowan slowly opened her eyes, saw her father vaguely, hugged her father, and cried silently.

The stepmother called a basin of water, took the opportunity to glance at Du Xiaowan, and muttered in her heart, "Dead Nizi, isn't this okay?" "Get out of ......" the father yelled at the stepmother, and the stepmother's behavior made the father hate and blame himself and drove away the stepmother.

When the stepmother heard this, she knelt on the ground and knelt to the side of the bed, "Xiaowan, mom please, don't let your father drive me away, mom is not a person, mom ......" snapped, stepmother slapped herself, her father pushed away her stepmother and pushed her out, Xiaowan glanced at her stepmother who was kneeling on the ground, and grabbed her father in fright, "Dad, are you okay with me," Father's heart stabbed like a thousand arrows piercing his heart.

Seeing this, the stepmother didn't say much, and she didn't dare to stay in the house longer, so she withdrew from the house and hid outside, peeking into the house from time to time.

Tossing all night, the father's physical strength is a little unknown, and he is forced to suffer the injury on Xiaowan's body, he doesn't want his daughter to fall down as soon as he recovers, his father can't afford to be sick, and his stepmother has no mind to care about his father's life or death, rummaging through the boxes and cabinets to find valuable things, Du Xiaowan knelt in front of her father's bed, "Dad, Xiaowan is obedient, Xiaowan doesn't want anything, I want you to accompany me," tears fell on his father's hand, his voice became hoarse, holding his father's hand tightly, and his father's very weak voice told his daughter, "Remember what Dad said, you must take care of yourself...... Put this away, this is the ...... left by your biological mother" "Dad" A cry that shook the sky, the sky was shaken and it rained, and my father left Xiaowan with regret.

Du Xiaowan lost the only relative who loved her and loved her, her red and swollen eyes and tears were about to dry up, the neighbors helped to handle her father's funeral, comforted Xiaowan's mother and daughter, and left one by one, the stepmother didn't look at Xiaowan, went into the house and counted the money given by the neighbors, Du Xiaowan sat there in a daze, crying silently.

"Xiaowan doesn't cry, I want to cry if you cry," Rong Rong comforted Xiaowan, but seeing her lonely appearance, she also cried sadly, "Rong Rong died and Nizi went home," Rong Rong's mother stood in her yard and shouted loudly, "Alas, it's back." Rong Rong reluctantly looked at Xiao Wan and ran home.

The stepmother was very happy with the money, and muttered "Old immortal, look at how you protect the dead girl this time" The stepmother rolled her eyes and thought, "What valuable things did the old immortal leave for the dead girl?" I have to get it," the stepmother pretended to feel sorry for Xiaowan, "Oh, Xiaowan, you said that your father is gone, leaving us orphans and widows, but how can you live, come, go into the house with your mother, and we will depend on each other in the future," the stepmother helped the stupid Xiaowan, one hand, kept touching around, and occasionally pretended to wipe her tears with her hand.

Rong Rong often comes to see Xiao Wan, the two have played since childhood, they are like sisters, after Du's father died, Rong Rong's mother no longer likes Xiao Wan, she thinks that Xiao Wan killed her parents, "Go and see what that broom star is doing, take my brother at home," Rong Rong couldn't bear to ignore Xiao Wan, but every time she saw Xiao Wan, she would be blamed by her parents, Rong Rong was very aggrieved, and she especially wanted to return to the days without her younger brother.

As the sun set, at sunset, Du Xiaowan sat on the edge of the bed, secretly picked up the yellowed paper, thinking about what her father had said, and suddenly heard her stepmother knocking on the door, "Xiaowan," Xiaowan hurriedly hid the paper under the pillow, and her stepmother opened the door and came in, "What are you doing?" So you can't hear it, huh? The stepmother looked around, "Mom, are you looking for me?" "It's okay, go to bed early." Du Xiaowan's flustered expression could not escape the thief's eyes of her stepmother.

The stepmother thought about it and saw the things in Xiaowan's hands tossing and turning outside the door, what did the dead girl hide under the pillow? got up early and sent Xiaowan to commemorate her father, and her stepmother took advantage of Xiaowan to go out, rummaged through the whole room, and found a piece of broken straw paper, "Phew, dead girl, let me be so unlucky early in the morning." ”

Xiao Wan came back from her father's grave and saw her stepmother tossing back and forth in her room, "Mom, what are you looking for in my room?" Xiao Wan walked in as she spoke, and her stepmother was so frightened that she hurriedly put down the clothes in her hand, "No, I didn't look for anything, what can I find?" You pack up your clothes, throw away those you can't wear quickly, save me and clean up" The stepmother hurriedly walked out of Xiaowan's room.

The stepmother didn't find anything, and she thought in her heart that it would be better to marry this dead girl, save the eyesore, and earn some dowry, and the stepmother was so beautiful when she thought of money that it was time for dinner.

"Xiaowan, you have grown up, your mother is also old, your mother is all for your good, and your mother is going to marry you off......" Xiaowan's hand shook, the chopsticks fell to the ground, Xiaowan frowned, "Mom, what are you talking about?" I'm only sixteen years old, my dad just died, and I'm not married. Du Xiaowan turned her head and walked into the house.

With a snap, the stepmother threw the chopsticks on the table, stepped forward and slapped her, Xiaowan fell to the ground, "Dead girl, it's against you," Before Xiaowan could react, the stepmother grabbed Xiaowan's hair fiercely and dragged her outside, and threw her out, "Ah" Xiaowan couldn't care about her feet when she protected her head, her shoes fell off, her pants were torn, and her scalp was torn in pain.

Du Xiaowan climbed up with difficulty, the door was closed, blood oozed from her knees, she just wanted to use her hands to sort out her messy hair, and her scalp hurt again, Du Xiaowan curled up and sat on the cold steps, holding her knees with both hands, her tears crackling and falling non-stop, and she vaguely saw a figure walking towards this side in the night.
