Chapter 7: The Downtrodden
Outside the window, it was another stormy night, just like the night when my mother died of illness when I was four years old.
In Su Yu's only vague memory, her mother Xiao Qing was a gentle woman. When she was a child, her mother was always by her side, and her father was busy with work and rarely came home. Later, my mother didn't like to smile anymore, and her health became worse and worse. One day, her mother took Su Yu's hand and said a lot of things, and said she was sorry, saying that she would learn to protect herself. Then the mother left.
At that time, Su Yu didn't understand life and death. I didn't understand what my mother meant. Years later, she realized that it was her mother's last advice.
In fact, Xiao Qing is the only daughter of the Xiao family in Liangcheng. Xiao Qing's father single-handedly founded the Xiao Group, which was later handed over to Xiao Qing, and Xiao Qing ran the group very well. Later, he met Su Wen, and under Su Wen's enthusiastic pursuit, the two got married, and the company's affairs were handed over to Su Wen. Xiao Qing didn't care anymore and became a full-time wife.
Su Wenwen is a poor boy from the countryside, because he firmly believes that knowledge changes fate, he graduated with the first grade in the school and entered the Xiao family. Later, after marrying Xiao Qing, he took charge of the Xiao family and was held to the sky by the people around him. gradually began to be dissatisfied with Xiao Qing's occasional eldest lady's temper, and she didn't dare to speak out because of her inferiority complex and cowardly character, so she had to vent with wine. At this time, the well-behaved and sensible Li Hong came to him. Originally, he was just a small clerk, but he was promoted to the president's secretary in less than a month. The matter between the two became an open secret in the company.
Maybe it's because of Miss Qianjin's natural self-confidence, for Su Wen's increasingly frequent nights, Xiao Qing actually believed in the worst excuse - busy. It wasn't until she saw the family of three with her own eyes that Xiao Qing understood the failure of her marriage.
Maybe it was for self-esteem, maybe it was to give Su Yu a complete home, Xiao Qing chose to compromise. But because of this, he was depressed all day long, his health deteriorated, and he finally left.
Su Yu didn't know these things. All she knew was that her father had taken another woman and girl into the house, and since then, that home has no place of its own.
Dad asked Su Yu to call the woman Mom, but she was stubborn and didn't speak. It's obviously the first time they've met, but she doesn't like these two people.
Since these two people moved in, Su Yu has changed from a daughter to an illegitimate daughter, and later to a servant.
Su Wen didn't come back until late every day, and he didn't have time to take care of the family's affairs at all, so he handed it over to Li Hong. When Su Wen is here, the two of them will be more restrained, and they won't be too embarrassed by Su Yu. But sometimes, Su Wen would still see Su Yu's injuries and torn clothes, and ask Su Yu what happened, Li Hong just said that children are too playful. The stubborn Su Yu never bowed his head.
Su Wen, who is cowardly by nature, has already been suppressed by Li Hong's momentum, and he has no strength to speak at home. Knowing that Su Yu was being bullied, he didn't dare to speak, so he could only secretly give Su Yu some change occasionally and comfort her a few words.
Later, Su Yu met a girl from an ordinary family, Qiao Xiaoqi, in college. Xiao Qi didn't know that Su Yu was a wealthy daughter, because she didn't look as good as herself in terms of food and clothing.
Because they are roommates, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, and Su Yu is infected by Xiao Qi's enthusiasm and sincerity. Sometimes Su Yu thinks that if his family hadn't changed like that, and he was still a little princess who was loved by thousands of people, he would never have the opportunity to meet such a girl in his life.
After graduation, Xiao Qi knew Su Yu's identity, and said in surprise: "There is such an almighty daughter as you, who can squeeze the bus, visit the night market, bargain, and cook!" ”
Su Yu just smiled and said, "Down-and-out daughter."
