Zhao Di arrived at the hilltop where she had arranged to meet Fu Jun, and sure enough, she saw her father's imposing figure in the hazy night. Zhao Di excitedly ran over to him.

As she ran, she looked at the village at the foot of the mountain and the rolling mountains around her, the place that had trapped her for more than a decade.

This time, however, she was smiling. She thought she had finally made it through.

"dad!"

"Zhaodi, you've arrived."

The person who answered her wasn't just her father, but also Pian Tou.

Only then did she realize that there was a short, sleazy figure behind her father—the one with the tilted head, the husband her family had found for her.

Zhao Di was terrified and turned to run away, but was caught by Fu Jun.

The two men carried her into the cave, and no matter how much she struggled, it was no use.

Pian Tou is getting old, and he was also slapped by Ruan Jiaojiao, so he hasn't been feeling well these days and can't handle the young and energetic Zhao Di by himself.

Therefore, Fu Jun is here not to take Zhao Di away, but to help his crooked son-in-law deal with Zhao Di!

Zhao Di was bound hand and foot by her biological father and could not move; on this cold winter night, she was bullied by Pian Tou.

Zhao Di's voice became hoarse from shouting, but no one came to her rescue.

Later, he tilted his head and said, "You're mine now. I didn't expect your father to be so trustworthy, sending over a virgin."

He also said, "Zhaodi, you can't escape now. No one would want a woman I've bullied. You can only be my wife for the rest of your life."

Zhao Di cried herself to sleep, and then, in so much pain, curled up on the ground and rolled around.

Fu Jun and Pian Tou escorted her back to the Fu family home, and the next day, Zhao Di got married.

When she got married, Shen Junmei and Fu Jun told her that the bride had to make clothes for her husband, and if she didn't, she would be beaten.

It was at that moment that Zhao Di learned that Pian Tou's previous wife had not died in childbirth, but had been beaten to death by Pian Tou during her postpartum period.

Shen Junmei and Fu Jun knew that Pian Tou had a habit of beating his wife and was prone to domestic violence. He liked to hit people when he got anxious. But they still gave in for the sake of the few hundred yuan dowry.

Moreover, they have no psychological burden whatsoever.

They even felt that compared to parents who abandoned or drowned their daughters after birth, they had done more than enough.

The whole point of raising Fu Zhaodi was to use her to get a good price to supplement Fu Jindan's income, wasn't it?

Ruan Jiaojiao felt this was pathetic, truly pathetic.

Zhao Di cried and said, "Second Aunt, my life is ruined... I have no hope of ever getting ahead... But I'm not reconciled! Why! Why was I forced to support my brother from the moment I was born! Why did I do nothing wrong, but just because I'm a girl, they all think I'm the one who's wrong!"

Yes, the problem isn't you, it's the world.

The world has kissed you with pain, so why should you repay it with a song?

"Zhaodi, you can't die." Ruan Jiaojiao stroked Zhaodi's hair, which was like a black waterfall, a symbol of vitality for rural girls, but Ruan Jiaojiao cut it off with a pair of scissors.

"Ah!" Zhao Di felt very distressed.

Ruan Jiaojiao held the hair in her hand and said, "Zhaodi, this hair represents the you from before. The you from before is dead. From now on, you must live for yourself. Don't think about men. A woman can live a carefree and independent life on her own."

“That bastard with the sideways head has bound you, but if you want, he can also become your stepping stone. Zhao Di, a smart woman will take every possible opportunity to climb up. You are still young, you have plenty of opportunities to leave the mountains. When that time comes, you can change your name, and no one will know where you come from or what you have been through.”
