But she couldn't go back. She didn't have anything to eat on the first day she came here. She didn't even drink the soup when they stewed meat at home.
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 was so shiny and fat that she should eat less.
She didn't dare to refute, she was afraid of being beaten.
At this moment, she looked at the broken door and wanted to escape, but she immediately gave up the idea.
When she followed her father up the mountain to cut firewood during the day, she had already looked around. This place was surrounded by mountains, and there was only one way to leave. That road was surrounded by towering mountains on both sides, and wild animals would appear at any time. Going out at night would be the same as Yu put himself into the mouth of the beast.
It seems that she can only find opportunities to escape during the day, and tonight, she can only stay in this woodshed.
'Squeak! '
At this moment, there was a sound of opening the door, and An An's expression suddenly became tense. She curled up and looked towards the door through the moonlight.
"Girl..."
It was grandma's voice. She got up hurriedly and came to grandma's side.
"Grandma, why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Grandma took out a steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to her,
"Eat this steamed bun, you can't do it without eating."
"grandmother……"
An An was suddenly touched. The white-flour steamed buns were a rare thing here. During today's meal, she heard her grandma say that she hadn't eaten white-flour steamed buns in several years and wanted to hide one to eat at night.
I didn't expect that she hid it for herself.
An An looked at her gratefully and shook her head vigorously.
"Grandma, keep it to eat. I'm not hungry."
"Silly girl, you haven't eaten for a day, how can you not be hungry? Eat quickly!"
As she spoke, grandma put the steamed buns into her hand and asked her softly:
"Girl, do you really not remember who you are?"
An An pursed her lips and looked up at her grandma with wide eyes.
"My name is Ni Xiaohong."
Grandma's eyes turned red instantly. She touched An An's head, sighed, and murmured to herself,
"What a sin!"
Leaving these words, she sighed again, turned around, opened the door, and left here.
An An looked at the steamed bun in his hand, returned to the position where he had just sat, and started eating hungrily.
It's not that she's not hungry, she just can't bear to eat the steamed buns left by her grandma. She is also very grateful for the steamed buns sent by her grandma, which makes her feel a little bit of warmth in this strange place.
Early the next morning, before An An could get up, Daya started shouting.
"Xiao Hong, get up quickly and light the fire. I have to go out today and have to eat early."
An An opened her sleepy eyes, raised her hands to rub them, and Daya kicked her with her foot.
"Hurry up, the sun is already beating down on your butt, why are you still sleeping? You were reincarnated by a ghost sleeping on death bed."
Although Da Ya's words were unpleasant, An An did not dare to refute. She knew that she was weak and could not offend these strangers.
She hurriedly picked up the firewood and put it into the stove pit in front of her.
But she had never done this kind of work before, and she couldn't ignite the firewood even though she spent a long time trying. This made Daya very dissatisfied.
She pushed An An out, cursed, and leaned on the stove to light the fire.
"What a freeloader. Do you think you are a rich lady? You can't even light a fire. I'm going out today and will be back in three days. During these three days, you can light a fire and cook at home. If your brother and sister are hungry, I want you to look good."
An An kneaded his hands together and bit his lip with his teeth.
At this time, she hated Leng Xi, her so-called fifth uncle.
Why is he so cruel? Want to abandon yourself to such a mean family?
When she has the opportunity to return to the capital, she will definitely settle the score with him. Even if she is young now, she will settle the score with him when she grows up.
"What are you looking at? Go get some firewood..."
Da Ya's scolding broke An An's thoughts. She ran to the firewood pile with her short legs, picked up some firewood, and walked towards the firewood shed.
"What a waste. What are you doing with these few sticks of firewood? Go get it again."
Da Ya's cursing continued until the food was served. An An stood at the door of the woodshed, looking at the food on the table and not daring to step forward.
The man raised his hand to greet her,
"Xiao Hong, come over and eat."
Da Ya quickly picked up the chopsticks and knocked them off his hands.
"She's not hungry. Eat quickly. You have to go out after eating."
Grandma's face darkened, and she murmured dissatisfiedly:
"You also have children, don't do evil."
As she spoke, she picked up an empty bowl, filled it with some food, brought it to An An, and said softly:
"Girl, eat it!"
An An looked at her grandma gratefully, timidly took the bowl, sat at the door of the woodshed, and started eating in small bites.
Although Da Ya was dissatisfied, she said nothing more and said to grandma:
"The two of us will go to the city in a while. You can keep an eye on this girl at home and don't let her get lost? Otherwise we won't be able to do business."
"What are you doing in the city again?"
The old lady's voice became sharp, and Da Ya said with a smile as if she was busy trying to please:
"Well, isn't my eldest aunt's grandson always sick? I'm trying to buy something for her."
"Where did you get the money?"
"You don't have to worry about that. Just take care of your home."
"snort!"
Grandma snorted coldly, "You've been running outside all day without missing a beat. I've almost wiped out the little food your sister-in-law's house has, and you're still running to other people's homes. Can you be more careful? It's not easy for them either."
Seeing that his mother had misunderstood him, Daya hurriedly explained:
"Mom, this time is different. We are not going to borrow rice or noodles. We really want to buy some food for the child this time. As you know, my sister-in-law is not in good health and the child has a fatal disease. , she has helped us a lot in the past, and we discussed it yesterday. If we can't help with anything else, we will buy some food for the child and send it to him."
Hearing this, the man sitting next to her suddenly rolled his eyes and asked loudly:
"Didn't you say you would give them some money to treat their children? Why did you only give them some food? Why don't you keep your word?"
"What are you yelling about?"
Da Ya rolled her eyes at the man,
"I'm showing mercy by giving them some food, and I also give them some money. Do you think that the money came from the strong wind? Why doesn't this family need money?"
"You can't keep your word? If I had known this, I wouldn't have agreed to what happened yesterday even if I were beaten to death. Since you regret it, I also regret it. I will go find that person now..."
Seeing that the man was about to stand up, Daya became anxious. She hurriedly grabbed the man and held him back angrily.
"Okay, don't spoil my good deeds. The worst I can do is lend them a tael of silver."
"One tael of silver?"
The man stretched out a finger and stared at her with his face red and thick with anger.
"You send beggars? What can you do with one tael of silver? In recent years, you have spent more than one tael of rice and noodles from them. You can't say that."
Da Ya gritted her teeth bitterly, dropped the chopsticks in her hand, and shouted dissatisfied:
"Two taels at most?"
"Five taels..."
"Two liang..."
"Then I'll go find the man in black. I won't do such a harmful thing."
