In the 115th year of the Southern Jin Dynasty, Sanhe Town, Kubuck Village, Zhao family.

In the evening, the pouring rain fell on the small courtyard, and the three low and old earthen embryo houses were shrouded in mist, gray and unreal.

Yuzhi sat slumped in the mud outside the door, covered in bruises, the palm prints on her face were clearly visible, and the blood on her forehead slid silently with the rain.

She was thin and thin, and her clothes were thin, as pitiful as a chicken in soup.

But the adoptive mother "Chen", who was standing under the eaves to shelter from the rain, had no mercy at all, and she scolded viciously while spitting:

"There is a little wild seed raised by a father and a mother, God is really blind, you fell off the cliff three years ago, why did you only break a pair of dog legs? The old lady saved money for more than half a year, and finally saved enough silver to buy the best fabric for your third sister's wedding dress, you don't have to sew it, how dare you lose such an expensive material? It's just a money-losing goods picked up from the bazaar, a little slut who is not as good as a pig and a dog, and selling you to the Qinglou is not worth the silver taels to buy cloth flowers! If you don't find out the fabric, the old lady will beat you to death today. ”

As he spoke, Chen raised the wooden stick in his hand and beckoned to Yuzhi's body again.

Staring straight at the treasure branch that was silently weeping beside Chen, Yuzhi said coldly: "Mother, the fabric was not lost by her daughter, it is obvious that the third sister can't look down on the fabric you bought, so she threw it into the stove and burned it in a fit of anger, and my daughter saw it with her own eyes......"

"Bang ......"

Before Yuzhi finished speaking, with a muffled sound, Chen had already raised a stick and smashed it on her body.

Immediately afterwards, Chen scolded in an even more vicious tone: "The little beast who reverses black and white, the little slut who has a rotten heart, you still dare to talk nonsense? Over the years, you have been paralyzed in bed, relying on your third sister Zhang Luo for three meals a day, not only do you not want to repay, but you also want to slander her reputation, you are really a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised! ”

As he spoke, Chen once again waved the wooden stick in his hand and hit Yuzhi's body.

The jade branch with unbearable pain gradually turned red, and she curled up in the mud, she changed her previous style of low eyebrows and low eyes, and retorted sharply:

"Whew! Since I was a child, the batter you gave me was as thin as water, and I was so hungry that I could only eat wild vegetables and tree bark, especially in the past three years, you saw that my legs were crippled, and I couldn't give it to the rich, so I simply ate two boiled taro for three meals a day!

"I eat the least, but I earn the most money, even if I have inconvenient legs and feet in the past three years, I can't go to the field to do farm work, but I have been embroidering day and night, and my eyes are almost blind! The surname is Chen, you take the flowers I embroidered to sell every time you go to the market, and you praise the third sister for her good performance, but in fact, she can't even take embroidery needles! And my father, the money he lost at the gambling table was also my embroidery! If it weren't for me, your family would have starved to death! After all, who is the white-eyed wolf, do you really not count in your heart? ”

The red eyes stared straight at the treasure branch standing next to Chen, the jade branch ignored the wooden stick that was frantically hitting her body, and her consciousness gradually blurred, she said word by word: "Zhao Baozhi, you put on a harmless stinky face all day long, but in fact, your heart is extremely black!" The so-called gods with three feet above their heads, in front of the gods and Buddhas and thunder mothers, do you dare to swear that you didn't burn the cloth? Do you dare to swear I wasn't pushed off a cliff by you three years ago to fall like this? ”

While saying this, Yuzhi desperately crawled towards the treasure branch under the eaves, although she was covered with scars and her breath was weak in the torrential rain, she had a murderous intent, like a life-seeking ghost crawling out of the abyss underground.

The soft and weak Baozhi turned pale with fright, and knelt at Chen's feet with a "plop", she cried while wiping her tears: "Mother, you see that the fourth sister is talking nonsense, most of them were beaten by you and delirious, stop quickly." The friendship between sisters is important, even if the marriage date is missed because of this, it is not a big deal! ”

Chen showed no mercy and knocked the jade branch unconscious with a slam of stick.

Immediately afterwards, she changed her previous fierce face, and comforted her softly while bending down to help Baozhi up: "Baozhi, how much effort did your father make to promote your relationship with the old Liu family in Rotten Peach Village, how can the marriage date be wrong?" Relax, your father and I will take you to the market early tomorrow morning to buy better fabrics. ”

Without looking at the jade branch lying in the rain, Baozhi obediently led Chen into the house and said, "But...... But the cloth lost by the fourth sister cost two taels of silver, where does our family still have so much money? ”

"Isn't that easy?"

Chen Shi turned his head and glared at the jade branch outside the door, and said in a reasonable tone: "Anyway, that little wild seed with a broken mouth was picked up, no different from chickens, ducks and geese, plus his legs are crippled, it is impossible to sell it to a rich family in exchange for a dowry." When your father comes back, won't I let your father sell her to the town's Qinglou to make money? ”

With a light in his eyes, Baozhi hurriedly said: "The little wild seed that even her biological parents have abandoned, she should have been sold as a prostitute a long time ago." The eldest sister and the second sister are both married, and the daughter will be married in a while. ”

The two of them thought about it, Zhao Sanjin, who was wearing a robe, hurriedly came back, he only entered the courtyard door with his front feet, and he didn't care to look at the jade branch that was already unconscious on the ground, and hurriedly said in a panic: "Oh my God! Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Something is wrong! Guess what, what is the origin of the second child of the Liu family in Rotten Peach Village? ”

As soon as he ran under the eaves, Zhao Sanjin slipped under his feet, and suddenly fell and ate.

Chen and Baozhi hurriedly went out to help.

Chen Shi said: "What is reckless like? Let the neighborhood see a good joke! Who can be the second child of the Liu family, isn't it your future third son-in-law? ”

"Son-in-law's fart!"

Zhao Sanjin didn't care about the mud all over his body, and said in a panic: "I saw the wanted document of the official government in the town before, and the second elder of the Liu family is clearly the owner of Heifeng Village. ”

His face changed sharply, and Bao Zhi said in a trembling voice: "The 'green-faced ghost king' who likes to eat human flesh raw is actually the second child of the Liu family?" I...... My future father-in-law? This...... How is this possible? Dad, don't marry his daughter......"
