But she couldn't go back. She had no food to eat on the first day she arrived here. Her family stewed meat in the evening, but she didn't even get to drink the soup.

The person she called mother said that the house was small and she could only live in the woodshed. There was not enough food at home. She had a greasy face and was already fat enough, so she should eat less.

She didn't dare to retort, for she was afraid of being beaten.

At this moment, she looked at the dilapidated door and wanted to escape, but immediately gave up the idea.

Today, when she followed the father to the mountain to chop firewood, she had already looked around. This place is surrounded by mountains and there is only one way to leave here. That road is surrounded by towering mountains on both sides. Wild beasts may appear at any time. Going out at night is equivalent to sending herself into the mouth of a wild beast.

It seems that she can only find an opportunity to escape during the day, and she can only stay in this woodshed tonight.

"Squeak!"

At this moment, the sound of a door opening was heard, and An An's expression suddenly became nervous. She curled up and looked towards the door through the moonlight.

"Girl..."

It was grandma's voice. She quickly got up and came to grandma's side.

"Grandma, why aren't you asleep yet?"

Grandma took out a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to her.

"Eat this steamed bun. You can't go without rice."

"grandmother……"

An An was suddenly a little touched. White flour steamed buns are a rare thing here. When she was having dinner today, she heard her grandmother say that she hadn't eaten white flour steamed buns for several years and wanted to hide one to eat in the evening.

I didn't expect that she hid it for herself.

An An looked at her gratefully and shook her head vigorously.

"Grandma, keep it for me. I'm not hungry."

"Silly girl, you haven't eaten for a day, how can you not be hungry? Come on and eat!"

As she spoke, grandma stuffed the steamed bun into her hands and asked her softly:

"Girl, you really don't remember who you are?"

An An pursed her lips, stared at her grandmother with big eyes,

"My name is Ni Xiaohong."

Grandma's eyes instantly turned red. She touched An An's head, sighed, and muttered to herself,

"What a sin!"

Leaving these words behind, she sighed again, turned around, opened the door, and left.

An An looked at the steamed bun in his hand, returned to the seat where he had just sat, and began to eat it voraciously.

It’s not that she wasn’t hungry, but she couldn’t bear to eat the steamed bun left by her grandmother. She was also very grateful to her grandmother for sending her the steamed bun, which made her feel a little warmth in this strange place.

The next morning, before An An even got up, Daya started yelling.

"Xiaohong, get up quickly and make a fire. I have to go out today and have to eat early."

An An opened her sleepy eyes and rubbed them with her hands. Daya kicked her.

"Hurry up, the sun is already shining on your butt, why are you still sleeping? Are you the reincarnation of a sleeping ghost?"

Although Daya's words were harsh, An An did not dare to refute her. She understood that she was alone and weak and could not annoy these strangers.

She hurriedly picked up the firewood and put it into the stove in front of her.

But she had never done this kind of work before. She spent half a day trying but failed to light the firewood, which made Daya very dissatisfied.

She pushed An An out, cursing and lying on the stove to start the fire.

"You're such a freeloader! Do you think you're a rich girl? You can't even light a fire. I'm going out today and will be back in three days. During these three days, you'll be at home making the fire and cooking. If you starve your brother and sister, I'll make you suffer."

An An rubbed her hands together and bit her lips tightly with her teeth.

At this moment, she hated Leng Xi, her so-called fifth uncle.

How could he be so cruel? To abandon himself to such a mean family?

When she has the chance to return to the capital, she will definitely settle the score with him. Even though she is young now, she will settle the score with him when she grows up.

"What are you looking at? Go get some firewood..."

Daya's scolding broke An An's thoughts. She hurriedly ran towards the pile of firewood with her short legs, picked up some firewood, and walked towards the woodshed.

"What a loser! What can you do with these few pieces of firewood? Go get more."

Daya continued to curse until the food was served. An An stood at the door of the woodshed, looking at the food on the table, not daring to go forward.

The man raised his hand to greet her.

"Xiaohong, come and have dinner."

Daya quickly picked up the chopsticks and knocked his hand away.

"She's not hungry. Eat quickly. You still have to go out after you finish eating."

Grandma's face darkened and she murmured in dissatisfaction:

"You also have children, so don't do evil."

As she spoke, she picked up an empty bowl, filled it with some food, and brought it to An An, saying softly:

"Girl, eat!"

An An looked at his grandmother gratefully, took the bowl timidly, sat at the door of the woodshed, and began to eat in small bites.

Although Daya was dissatisfied, she did not say anything else, but said to her grandmother:

"We'll go into town later. You stay home and keep an eye on this girl. Don't let her get lost. Otherwise, we won't be able to report back."

"Why are you going into town again?"

The old lady's voice became sharp, and Daya hurriedly laughed in a flattering manner:

"Well, my eldest sister-in-law's grandson has been ill for a long time, so I bought some things for her."

"Where did you get the silver?"

"Don't worry about that. Just take care of the house."

"snort!"

Grandma snorted coldly, "You're running around outside all day instead of doing your job. You've almost sold out the little food your sister-in-law has, and you're still going to other people's houses. Can you be more careful? They have it tough too."
