Others are fleeing famine, but I am a salted fish

The man just added a sentence asking Widow Liu to treat the girl well and not to be harsh to her all the time.

As a result, he was countered by Widow Liu's lukewarm words, "You are so kind, maybe you like this little bitch? If not, I will sell her to you for two taels of silver. You can take her back and raise her however you want. When she grows up, she can even be your mistress. It's not a loss, right?"

The man was also an honest man, with a wife and three children at home. He saved Qingliu only because he felt sorry for the child and couldn't bear to see him freeze to death in the cold winter.

He never expected that with such good intentions, he would be slandered so maliciously by Widow Liu. He was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick. He pointed at Widow Liu and kept saying "you you" for a long time, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know where to start.

Later, the man's wife brought her three half-grown children to Widow Liu's house, pressed the man to the ground and rubbed him. Before leaving, she smashed all the few household items in the house.

Widow Liu, who was beaten black and blue, took her anger out on the sick Qing Liu and starved her for two days. Qing Liu, who was on the verge of death, almost didn't make it...

When this incident spread to the whole village, no one dared to lend a hand to poor little Qingliu, for fear of being blackmailed by the unscrupulous widow Liu.

In the end, Qingliu's father lost all the money in his pocket. When he got home and saw Qingliu, who was barely breathing out but not in, he angrily cursed, "You unlucky thing, it's all because of you, this cheap bastard, that I lost money. I thought I could raise you until you were fourteen or fifteen and then sell you for some money. Bah, if I had known you wouldn't live to that age, I would have wasted all these years of money and energy."

This is really flattering yourself.

Since Qingliu was born, her mother had been raising her with great difficulty, borrowing from the east and begging from the west, and going up the mountain to dig wild vegetables and bird nests to feed her.

After her mother died, Qingliu was able to survive thanks to the kindness of her neighbors, who gave her food from time to time. She then went up the mountain to find some tree bark and grass roots, and managed to eke out a shabby living.

It really has nothing to do with his gambling-addicted father.

But when Widow Liu heard these words, she was gloating and wished that the annoying little bitch would die soon, so that she wouldn't have to face those gossipy women in the village who always accused her of abusing and torturing this dead girl.

I thought, since Qingliu's father dislikes this damn girl so much, I might as well sell her to a brothel while she's still alive. Maybe I can get some money from her.

With this in mind, the two evil-hearted men whispered to each other and immediately decided to give the girl some food to keep her alive, and then when she came back to life, they would sell her to a brothel and collect some money to spend.

So, Qingliu, who was less than nine years old, was sold to that dirty place by her heartless father and stepmother for the low price of one or two taels of silver.

She was lucky. After entering the land of fireworks, Qingliu had a chance to survive.

Under the guidance of the mother who was the manager of the brothel, she gradually improved her appearance and learned how to please men with her beauty and sell her smiles.

But the good times did not last long. She was not tactful enough and competed with the sisters in the building for a patron. She accidentally pushed the patron down the stairs, causing the patron to hit his forehead.

The mother in charge was so angry that she beat the two of them severely and confiscated their private money as an apology to the guests. Afterwards, the mother in charge was so angry that she simply sent the two of them to the backyard to be the lowest foot-washing maids.

It was not known whether it was fate that Qing Liu met Mrs. Lin who was complaining to her daughter Lin Xiaolian when she was washing clothes by the river. The two were planning how to control Lin Lao San again so that her third daughter who had no idea what kind of shit luck she had would become their cash cow.

Just as he was feeling helpless, he saw Qingliu, who had a fair face, a delicate figure, and a gentle personality that was very easy to control.

So, an idea suddenly occurred to the two of them, and they asked someone to buy the person from the mother in charge.

This is what happened later. Lin Xiaoyue came back from the imperial city and saw an uninvited guest on the farm.

Recalling the time when she was bought by Old Lady Lin, Qingliu was secretly pleased, thinking that was a turning point in her life and that she had finally met a kind-hearted person who could save her from the dire straits.

But when she heard that woman named Lin Xiaolian, who self-righteously instructed her to seduce her third brother, sow discord between him and his wife, create conflicts and misunderstandings between the couple, and then wait for an opportunity to seize their property, secret recipes, and control their daughter, Qingliu was stunned.

Not only that, Qingliu actually heard the mother and daughter cursing in front of her, scolding her so-called third brother's daughter for daring to hit them and even alienating the relationship between the first and second wives, causing her to lose two grandsons.

Perhaps it was because the two of them held her bond and they felt that Qingliu would be controlled by them no matter what, so they had no scruples when it came to planning and planning their vicious scheme.

Qingliu was confused at the beginning, but then she was shocked and horrified after listening to the two people's endless plans throughout the whole process.

When he found out that the target of their conspiracy was actually the Lord of Le'an Township who was personally appointed by the current emperor, he felt as if struck by lightning.

She looked at the old and young mother and daughter with suspicion for a while, until she confirmed from their resentful and vicious eyes that they were not joking, Qingliu fell silent.

But her silent protest did not last long.

Firstly, the mother and daughter did hold her bond, so even if she refused to obey, they could kill her and replace her with someone else. Therefore, whether she resisted or not, she could not stop them or shake their plan.

Besides, after Qingliu changed her thinking, she thought that if she could really become the concubine of the old woman San'er, she could use the tricks she learned from the brothel to seduce the man and make him gradually dislike the legal wife, and eventually kill her silently or kick her away, wouldn't she become the village chief's second wife? ?

Then she can get rid of the past stain for the rest of her life, live a luxurious life with fine clothes, delicious food, gold and silver, and be envied by everyone.

Thinking of this, the guilt in her heart was much less. She was gradually blinded by wealth and glory. She consoled herself against her conscience, saying that if it wasn't her fault, someone else would have done it, and she was just a knife in someone else's hand.

Moreover, she was not the worst person, but the mother and daughter who held her bond, plotted behind the scenes, and manipulated her. They were the real culprits.

After thinking it through, Qingliu comforted himself, kept a low profile, and followed Old Lady Lin to the Lin family farm. Taking advantage of Old Lady Lin's aggressive and rude behavior, he stayed on the farm and cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself.
