Her biological parents had been unable to conceive again for many years, so they raised Gu Yun.
Unexpectedly, a year later, her biological parents became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.
This is terrible; Gu Yun is practically an unwanted person in the family.
At only six years old, she had to take on household chores.
I get up at five in the morning to cook for the whole family, and then I have to climb two hillsides to cut pig feed.
After feeding the pigs, we went to the river to wash the whole family's clothes.
In the dead of winter, my hands swelled up like red carrots, covered in chilblains.
After finishing all that work, it would be evening, and I still had to cook dinner before the adults came home, or I would get a beating.
Gu Yun lived cautiously, but her family was still dissatisfied and couldn't stand her no matter what.
Her mother often took her to the city and then abandoned her in unfamiliar places.
Eventually, she got lost and became a homeless child, surviving by scavenging for garbage.
Chen Yingnan saw Gu Yun while shopping.
In the dead of winter, Gu Yun was dressed in thin clothes that were tattered and covered in stains, obscuring their original color.
Her hair was tangled and stuck to her scalp, looking dirty.
Chen Yingnan is Gu Yun's sister-in-law. All she knows is that her brother's child has gone missing.
Her family favored sons over daughters, so she only went home once a year after getting married, during the Spring Festival.
Fortunately, she had met Gu Yun once before, otherwise she would not have recognized her at all.
When she took Gu Yun home, she discovered that her brother's family had deliberately abandoned her.
Chen Yingnan flew into a rage and cursed her brother's entire family.
She took Gu Yun home and adopted her.
She and her husband had no children for many years, but after adopting Gu Yun, they had twins, a boy and a girl.
The whole family believed that the child was brought by Gu Yun and doted on her very much.
It is said that Gu Yun's first adoptive parents gave birth to children with poor health; one had intellectual disabilities, and the other was physically weak and died before the age of one.
During the time Gu Yun was adopted, her adoptive father's business grew significantly, expanding from a processing workshop to a factory.
After abandoning Gu Yun, the factory's cash flow dried up, leaving it heavily indebted.
The child's frequent illnesses made the already impoverished family's situation even worse.
Her biological parents abandoned Gu Yun, and her father was tricked into working in an illegal brick kiln.
After escaping, he entered a factory and was involved in a safety accident, in which he broke one of his legs.
The boss simply absconded, leaving no way to claim compensation.
Her biological mother was tricked into joining a pyramid scheme, and after escaping, she was kidnapped and had her kidney cut off.
By the time her family found her, she had gone insane.
It screams and attacks people from time to time.
Her family could only chain her up.
Then one day, something terrifying happened.
