Among the prostitutes, there must be some who are beautiful, good at singing and dancing, and are versatile. These people can attract customers with more distinguished status and are willing to spend money on them. The old madams of

After falling into a brothel, she also received preferential treatment, but in the end she became the most disliked madam. The girl carrying the knife is waiting to be seen.
A difficult life
Nizi was already married, but her family was poor, and Nizi's life was really hard.
Helpless, in order to find a way out during the turbulent times, Nizi went out with her old uncle and embarked on a journey to find a way to survive.
But the outside world is really difficult, and life is even more difficult. In desperation, the old uncle can only discuss with Nizi and send her to the secret door first. At least she will not starve to death. When he saves money later, If you have enough money, come and redeem her.
Nizi agreed. In that era, poor families were constantly looking for a way out, and it was already very rare to have hot food to eat.
After entering the secret door, Nizi's life was not too painful.
She is good-looking and very lovable, and she can always make her guests happy. Seeing that she was able to attract customers, the madam treated her quite well, at least she had enough food and clothing.
But Nizi never thought about spending her whole life in a secret door. She only regarded this place as a transit point in life, and would not leave until there was a way out in the future.
The old uncle had promised to come back to redeem her, and she had always yearned for the free life outside.
Therefore, in order to redeem herself, Nizi is also working hard and hanging around in places like secret doors. Naturally, she has to find ways to save more money for herself, so that she can fly away when she has the opportunity in the future.
But the money was discovered by the madam, and he knew that she wanted to escape. Naturally, the madam would not let her go easily. There was only one way to deal with disobedient girls like them, and that was to beat and scold them.
Nizi was suffering, and she felt more and more that these days were dark and dark.
Originally, the old uncle said that he would take her away after saving enough money, but how could the money be so easy to collect? Nizi felt that life was hopeless, so she finally picked up the scissors and ruined her appearance with her own hands, which also ruined her future. The capital of being in a brothel.
People whose appearance is damaged will naturally suffer a plummeting status.
Nizi could no longer accept customers and suffered humiliation every day. Beating and scolding became a common thing. She still had to do the dirty and heavy work, and her life was miserable.
Even so, Nizi never thought of committing suicide, she still wanted to work hard to live.
Although her appearance was unappealing, a brother-in-law who hoped to have an heir redeemed her body. But after learning that she was infertile, he decisively kicked her out of the house.
The homeless Nizi finally had to live with a beggar , and the two wandered together, but fortunately the war was over and their lives had settled down.
Life is still hard and poverty-stricken. Nizi originally ran away in order to have a better life, but fate played tricks on her. In the end, her life was just passable.
Among those who became prostitutes, some of them suffered a miserable life, and some of them had a good ending.
