Hongxiu is looking forward to growing up every day, looking forward to flying out of this cage like a free sparrow.

Later, a few years later, Xin became pregnant again, but gave birth to a daughter.

The two of them have a mediocre attitude towards their daughter Hongying, but after all, they are biological, so they are better than Hongying.

If the stars and moon in the sky can be plucked, Xin is afraid that he will also go to heaven to pick them for his precious son.

Tie Zhu has watched Hongxiu and Hongying work and be beaten since he was a child, and he doesn't have much respect for the two sisters, shouting and drinking every day, and even punching and kicking, which the Xin family turns a blind eye to, as if it is a normal thing.

After all, Hongxiu is six or seven years old, and she has been stubborn and proud since she was a child, she will not stand and let Tiezhu beat, and when she is angry, she will beat Tiezhu when no one is angry.

Tie Zhu will complain to Xin at the beginning, Xin will beat Hongxiu severely after learning about it, but Hongxiu is not afraid, if Tiezhu complains, she will beat Tiezhu harder, after all, there is always a time when adults are not at home.

Later, Tie Zhu was finally scared, so he didn't dare to continue to sue.

Hongxiu worked and was beaten day after day, and even if time passed slowly, she finally grew into a big girl.

Although she has lost some weight, her appearance is simply one in a hundred, and there is no girl in the village who looks better than red embroidery.

So although the Xin family is not easy to get along, there is still an endless stream of people who come to propose relatives from ten miles and eight villages.

But Xin didn't let go of his promise to anyone, without him, the bride price was too little.

In fact, people give a lot, there are rules for normal marriages in the village, and most people give those bride prices, but Xin is not satisfied, she is thinking about selling the red embroidery at a good price.

It wasn't until Hongxiu was fifteen years old that Xin finally relented and agreed to marry someone, but it was a bolt from the blue for Hongxiu.

The man who came to propose marriage was an old man over fifty years old, the old man's family was wealthy, he was a rich man in the next village, and he promised to give a bride price of one hundred taels of silver, and he did not need any dowry.

This made the Xin family very happy, and they immediately agreed to the family affair without saying a word.

Red embroidery is like falling into an ice cave.

This old man is rich, but he has already died eight daughters-in-law, and he is particularly famous in the local area.

The old man himself said that the eight daughters-in-law were all sick and died by himself, but who didn't know that they were tortured to death by the old man, marrying him is not much different from sending him to death, it is better to send them to death, at least they are innocent when they die, and there is a lot less torture.

Xin said proudly towards the red embroidery: "Dead girl, old lady, I chose a rich family after thousands of choices, how rich is the old man Sun, you are fragrant and spicy when you marry, you don't have to do any work, you can't forget your roots, remember to get more silver and food home after marrying, your mother's family is your root." ”

Red embroidery scoffed, her mother's family is her root, but what does she want this root for, it's better not to have a rotten root.

But these days, marriage pays attention to the life of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker, what should she do? Seeing that three days later, Old Man Sun came to carry people.

She has been a cow and a horse for this family for more than ten years, and in the end she will end up being sold, not to mention that she is a big living person raised since childhood, and she should have feelings for a cat and dog, but her adoptive father and adoptive mother sent her to death like this, and brazenly said that she found a good family for her.

She endured the humiliation in her heart, knelt down at the two of them with a flutter, and said with tears in her eyes: "Father, mother, Old Man Sun's family is rich, but he has already killed eight daughters-in-law, and his daughter is sent to death when she marries, and her daughter has been living with you for more than ten years, how can you bear to let your daughter die, please don't let me marry me." ”

Although she knew that there was little hope of quitting her family, she still begged.

Xin Shi was furious when he heard this: "You said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, the bride price has been accepted, how can there be any reason not to marry, what is not dead, you cheap girl has been thick-skinned and cheap since childhood, the old lady has not beaten you to death for so many years, the first few are unlucky, after you marry, you will coax the old man Sun more, even if you beat you, you can endure it, let him pay more money is serious, so that even if you die, it is worth it." ”

Hongxiu didn't give up, and looked at his adoptive father Wang Dazhuan again.

Wang Dazhuan lowered his head, as if he didn't see it.

"Daddy?"

Hearing Hongxiu call him, Wang Dazhuan said as if he was helpless: "Hongxiu, how can a girl not marry when she is older, who is not married, your younger brother Tiezhu is about to get married, our family is poor, you are the eldest sister must not pull him up, we will raise you, it will be regarded as a repayment to us." ”

Hongxiu sat on the ground, her heart cold.

Raise her? Not to mention the jewelry she brought, she has been working as a cow and a horse over the years, serving the old and the young, not enough to eat and wear, most of them are raising themselves, where did they come from to say that they raised her.

It's not that she doesn't know that these two people are ruthless, but she always hopes that they can see her for her years of hard work and resentment, and let her go and let her marry a good family, not to mention being rich and rich, even if it is eating chaff and vegetables, as long as she lives a happy life, she will be content.

It's because she's too naïve, she shouldn't have counted on these two black-hearted people.

She can't accept her fate, and this life can't be ruined like this.

Swayed to the stove room, found a corner and squatted, thinking about how to save himself.

pulled out a cloth bag from the corner, which contained more than 20 yuan that she had secretly saved from the Xin family over the years.

She always knew that she was not her own, and these two treated her so viciously that she didn't want to leave for a day.

However, it is really too difficult to save money, especially under Xin's nose, it is even more difficult.

Now I don't have a lot of money, but it's time to leave.

Although he is full of fear of the unknown world outside, he has no choice but to let go.

She planned to run in the dead of night tomorrow night, but the plan never caught up with the change.

Hongxiu was determined that the most important thing at the moment was to take care of her spirit and maintain her strength, so she fell asleep in the corner in a daze.

The door of the stove room creaked, and the person instantly sobered up.

She has been in a state of panic all these years, so she has always slept very lightly, and even the slightest movement can wake her up instantly.

At this time, it was late at night, and the lights were blind, and it was impossible to see people clearly.

"Who?" Hongxiu touched a stick and was highly vigilant.

"Red embroidery, it's me."

It was his adoptive father, Wang Dazhuo, and Hongxiu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

"Dad, what's the matter?"

"Dad came to tell you about your family, in front of your mother during the day, Dad didn't say much."

Hongxiu was overjoyed in her heart, thinking that things had taken a turn for the better.

Wang Dazhuan sat down next to the red embroidery in the dark.
