Ruan Mianmian drank the invisibility potion, followed behind the women's clothing boss, and followed him back to the house.

A three-storey western-style building with a red roof, with two small courtyards in front and back.

The front yard is full of roses, the flowers are blooming, butterflies are flying, and there is a fountain in the middle of the small garden, and the spring water spouts out from the hands of the little angel statue, and it is very beautiful to meet the sun.

Two young girls in beautiful dresses are sitting on a swing and frolicking.

They are the two older sisters of the women's clothing tycoon, Mary and Dorothy.

When they saw the women's clothing boss, they stopped playing at the same time and made each other look at each other.

Both sisters inherited their mother's hair, with long reddish-brown curly hair that made her complexion even whiter. But the elder sister Mary had bigger eyes and a plumper figure, and her waist was tightly corseted, revealing a slender waist.

She lifted her red nail polish hand, brushed the ends of her reddish-brown hair, and asked nonchalantly, "Cinderella, is my dress washed?" I'm going to wear it to the ball at Duke Clips' house tomorrow. ”

Hearing the name Cinderella, the corners of Ruan Mianmian's mouth twitched.

Sure enough, the women's clothing boss is the heroine of this plane.

Cinderella stopped, her pale and delicate face expressionless: "It's been washed." ”

In order to wash the dress, he got up before dawn, scrubbed his hands in cold water, and his ten fingers were red and swollen from the cold.

But who cares?

Mary had so many dresses that even if the dress hadn't been washed, she had other options, but she just wanted to find something to do for Cinderella, especially when she saw Cinderella's frozen red and swollen fingers, her red lips rose and she smiled with satisfaction.

When her sister Dorothy saw the basket in Cinderella's hand, her eyes rolled and she spoke.

"Judging by the way you look, you shouldn't be out to see your dead mother in the afternoon, are you?"

Cinderella said yes.

As if she had caught a handle, Dorothy immediately frowned: "Your mother has been dead for so many years, what's there to see?" Even if you go to see her every day, God won't bring her back to life. But at home, there is still so much work to be done, the floor has not been wiped, the curtains have not been washed, by the way, today's dinner has not been prepared, right? Cinderella, you're really getting lazy! ”

Cinderella didn't retort, but replied habitually, "I'm going to prepare dinner." ”

Dorothy snorted, "Tonight we are going to have oatmeal bread, beef soup, and vinegar-flavored fried fish, and we are going to have fried dough for dessert, and if you don't have these dishes ready before seven o'clock, you won't have to eat tonight." ”

Cinderella nodded, then left silently.

She wasn't allowed to walk through the front yard because her two sisters hated him for being too dirty and scruffy.

Ruan Mianmian quietly followed Cinderella and saw him bypass the front yard and enter the backyard through the back door.

Compared with the beautiful and delicate front yard, the backyard is much simpler.

The corner of the yard was full of firewood, covered with oilcloth to prevent it from getting wet by the dew, and on the clothesline next to it, there were many brightly colored skirts, which were the clothes of the stepmother and her two sisters.

Without squinting, Cinderella walked through the backyard into the kitchen, rolled up her sleeves, and began to work.

Ruan Mianmian saw that he was going to chop vegetables and wash vegetables again, and he had to bake bread on the fire, and he was so busy that he didn't have time to take a breath at all.

But even so, he couldn't get dinner ready by seven o'clock.

There is no way, he only has two hands on his own, and it is almost impossible to prepare so many complicated dishes in just one hour.

By the time he put dinner on the table, it was already past ten o'clock.

Dorothy seemed to have expected this, and she let out a mocking laugh, "Lazy girl, you are too slow to work, and it seems that you will not be able to eat dinner to-night." ”

The man in the house was not at home, and there were only three women at the table, the hostess Holly and her two daughters.

Holly didn't even look at Cinderella, and while eating dinner, she said to her eldest daughter, "I'm going to the Duke Crisp's house tomorrow, are your dresses ready?" ”

Mary happily replied, "Of course, it has been prepared for a long time. ”

"The second son of the Duke Crisp's family is about your age, and if you can marry him, your life will be bright in the future."

"I know, Mom."

Dorothy was also attracted to their conversation and joined in their conversation.

Poor Cinderella, on the other hand, was completely forgotten by them.

Cinderella silently returned to the kitchen.

There were still some leftovers in the kitchen, the bread and soup that had not been eaten at noon, but he could not eat them, because Dorothy would come back to check the kitchen, and if she found out that he had eaten, she would definitely punish him for doing more work.

He could only squat in front of the stove, put his hands in the stove, and used the residual heat of the charcoal fire to keep warm.

Hunger, cold, exhaustion......

Let him involuntarily close his eyes and want to sleep for a while.

As long as you fall asleep, you won't be hungry.

Ruan Mianmian looked at his pitiful appearance and was very distressed.

She quietly left the kitchen and stood in the courtyard, whispering a spell.

As the spell spread, two pitch-black crows flew over and landed in front of her.

This is also one of the unique skills of the shrine maiden, which can drive the crow to do something simple.

Ruan Mianmian ordered them: "Go and find me some fresh bread and meat." ”

The crows rattled hoarsely, spread their wings and flew into the sky, and disappeared in an instant.

The mother and daughter trio in the restaurant finished their dinner.

Lady Holly and Mary went upstairs to their room, but Dorothy did not go, and she went to the kitchen, and examined the bread and soup that had been left at noon to-day, and made sure that Cinderella had not eaten it, and then left satisfied.

Cinderella endured hunger and exhaustion and went to clean up the table.

By the time he was done, the night was dark.

Everyone else in the house is asleep, and the house is quiet.

Cinderella dragged her tired body up to the small attic on the top floor.

The small attic is dilapidated, and what's worse is that in this cold winter, there is no heating equipment here, and even the bedding is a thin layer, which cannot keep warm at all.

Cinderella lay in bed and slept until midnight when she was awakened by freezing.

He had no choice but to tiptoe downstairs with an oil lamp to the kitchen and light the stove.

He sat by the stove and warmed himself by the light of the fire.

It was then that he suddenly heard a knock, as if something was tapping lightly on the window.

He opened the window curiously, and the cold wind poured in, making him shiver with cold.

Two blackened crows stood on the windowsill. I want to talk with more like-minded people about "Wear Female Match: Ding! You have been locked by the boss", WeChat pays attention to "excellent reading literature", chats about life, and looks for confidants~
