At sixteen, an age when a flower bud is just about to bloom, she now looks like a woman in her mid-twenties.
Aside from her protruding belly, she was thin everywhere else, clearly indicating malnutrition.
After having lunch, Ning Jing went to work. When she met Fu Dahua on the road, she didn't recognize her at all. Seeing that the other woman was heavily pregnant, she kindly stepped aside to let her pass first.
Looking at Ning Jing's charming appearance, Fu Dahua thought of the miserable life she had endured for the past two years and felt a deep hatred in her heart.
Back then, that bitch was completely subservient to their family, and all of Fu Hongxing's remittances were controlled by her grandparents.
How comfortable was her life at home back then?
All the girls in the village envied her immensely.
Her grandmother had once told her privately that after her fourth uncle got married, she would ask him to find her a husband in the county town.
But now, in just two short years, everything has changed.
He stretched out his hand, which was once chubby, but now it was dry and thin, resembling a claw.
Back then, her mother sold herself to a man in his thirties who had lost his wife, for 50 yuan.
She had no idea she was being sold the day she was sold.
After her mother gave her medicine, she was in a daze when the man took her home.
I woke up in pain, but by then it was too late.
Her Qingshan brother, her wild dreams, all vanished like bubbles.
At first, she cried and tried to run away from the man's house.
But every time she ran away, the man would catch her and slap her across the face with his large, fan-like hand.
He would even tie her up with a rope, drinking and pointing his finger at her while cursing.
He said she was a wife he bought for 50 yuan, and if she wanted to leave, she could return the money.
As he spoke, he picked up a feather duster and started whipping her soft flesh, making Fu Dahua writhe in agony.
Where did Fu Dahua get the money?
Not to mention, how could she possibly ask for the money that ended up in her mother's hands!
After being beaten once or twice, Fu Dahua begged for mercy repeatedly and vowed never to run away again.
However, the man did not believe her.
Every time I go out, I lock her inside.
After we got home, I would drag her into the house, except for meals.
It wasn't until the beginning of this year, when she became pregnant, that the man lowered his guard against her.
He even accompanied her back to her parents' home once, but Fu Hongmin and Liu Mei didn't like her.
Feeling aggrieved, the man went home and, after much restraint, still slapped Fu Dahua across the face.
He felt it was only natural for a son to pay for his father's debts.
Fu Dahua covered her face with one hand and her stomach with the other, hating the other person to death, but she didn't dare to utter a sound.
Instead, she humbled herself, acted cautiously, and tried every means to make the man happy.
Although Fu Hongmin and Liu Mei didn't like them when they came back that time.
But Fu Dahua still noticed the differences between her parents' family and her own.
For example, although Fu Hongmin and Liu Mei didn't get involved in raising chickens and ducks, they later got involved in raising rabbits and pigs. They naturally joined in after seeing the obvious benefits the villagers received from the farms.
Every year, although we earn much less than other families.
The money allocated to them was much more than what they used to earn by digging through clods of dirt in the fields.
So, her mind immediately started working on it.
This time, Fu Dahua finally managed to persuade her husband, and then she came to her parents' home to beg for money while heavily pregnant.
Even if her parents refuse to lend her money or food, it's still good if she stays at her parents' house and eats a few more mouthfuls of rice.
