peach blossom was born in the 1950s and is the first daughter of a small family in the next village, with 2 younger brothers below. At that time, in our southern Anhui village, where boys prefer girls, peach blossom life was not easy at all.
But fortunately, she looks decent and has a good personality. The market in rural areas is also very popular. But regrettably, Taohua is a stone girl, which destined her to have a miserable life after marriage.
Stone women are divided into two types: one is "outer stone". Through simple surgery, you can live a couple's life. Some can have children, while others cannot.
One type is "inner stone". You cannot live a couple's life, and there is no way to talk about giving birth. This kind of peach blossom is very rare and unfortunate.
According to the elderly in the village, peach blossoms were born and her grandmother delivered the baby. As soon as she was born, her grandmother discovered that there were problems with her external characteristics as a girl. At that time, grandma wanted to drown her in a basin, but Taohua Niang refused. She felt that doing so would damage her morality.
Furthermore, Taohua Niang still has a glimmer of hope, thinking that her daughter has some physical defects and will be fine if she grows up naturally, and there is no big fuss. After 10 years of maintenance, it will be worthwhile to get a bride gift.
Taohuaniang's family also hid the flaws of peach blossoms tightly. No one in the village knows that peach blossoms are unique.
The peach blossoms when they grew up are hardworking and capable, and they look so handsome. Several families come to marry. Taohua's parents chose the right choice and ordered the highest bride price for the family.
On the wedding night, when the man excitedly got into the bed of peach blossoms and was rejected by peach blossoms in every way, the man was anxious and used all his brute force to deal with peach blossoms. The moment he pulled off Taohua's pants with brute force, he discovered Taohua's secret.
The man was angry and felt that Taohua and her parents had joined forces to deceive him. In anger, he took the method of being bullied. Taohua couldn't stand the pain and started to tear her up with the man. In a rage, the man beat Taohua to a bruised nose and swollen face, and humiliated her with extremely mean words.
第二天，男人的家族全都知道了桃花是石女的事情，都在嘲讽她，尤其是她的婆婆，指着桃花的鼻子骂道：“母鸡不下蛋好歹还能吃，你说你连个女人都算不上，娶你这个丧门星回来能干什么，活该被我儿子揍”。
The second day of the wedding, the peach blossoms with a bruised nose and swollen face were spent by the ridicule and scolding of the in-laws. According to our customs in southern Anhui, the new son-in-law wants to bring his new wife back on the third day of the wedding, commonly known as " Three Dynasties Return to the House ".
The man pulled the ox cart and brought the peach blossom back to the door. The difference is that the man sat on the ox cart, and the peach blossom limped in front of him.
When I arrived at the Taohua girl's house, the man took out a broken washbasin and knocked hard in the village, shouting, "Come and see, this family is doing unethical things. I'll use a stone girl who cannot have children or can't live in a house to deceive me of the bride price. I'll send this stone girl back to you today, and you will return the bride price to me."
Taohua was ashamed, but Taohua's parents said shamelessly: "You welcome people back. You can don't want people, but the dowry cannot be refunded."
The man was so angry that he slapped Taohua several times in front of Taohua's parents. Taohua knelt down and begged her parents to return the bride price to the man. Taohua said that she was willing to make money for her parents and make money for her younger brother to marry a wife for the rest of her life, and only asked her parents to return the bride price to him.
Parents looked at Taohua with a bruised nose and swollen face and were indifferent. Taohuahua's mother only said one sentence: "The water from the married girl poured out."
The man did not get the bride price back, so he had to drag the peach blossom home again. From then on, Taohua is like a long-term worker in a man’s family, doing the dirtiest and tiring work, eating the worst food, without any dignity, anyone can beat and scold.
Spring goes and autumn comes, and three years have passed in a flash. Peach blossoms are sick due to years of fatigue and overwork, and have no nutritional supplements. They are all thin.
A man’s family is afraid that peach blossoms will die of illness and is unlucky at home. In addition, peach blossoms are known as the man’s wife, which also affects his remarriage. So the man's family drove out the sick peach blossoms.
Taohua returned to her parents' home. She planned to stay in her parents' home for the rest of her life after she recovered from the illness, but her two sister-in-law in her family were not welcomed. Her situation at home became more and more awkward and more difficult.
not only will he be subjected to the rolling eyes and sarcasm of his two sister-in-law, but he will also be subjected to the abuse of his father. Maybe they are both women, but my mother finally felt pity when she looked at the miserable peach blossoms. She secretly gave Taohua 65 yuan and advised her to leave the house.
Taohua, who had nowhere to go, finally moved to a broken cowshed 2 miles away from the village. She decided that she would work hard on her own for the rest of her life, without having to be scolded by her husband's family.
The hardworking and capable peach blossoms often go to the mountains to pick wild fruits or herbs, and then go to the town to change a little rice. She also opened a small piece of wasteland and planted some sweet potatoes, potatoes and seasonal vegetables, which basically solved the survival problem.
Winter is coming, Taohua went to the mountain to cut some thatch and surrounded the cowshed that leaked everywhere. Although it was simple, it was very warm.
On this day, Taohua used homemade tools to catch a big pheasant foraging on the mountain. She couldn't bear to eat it, so she took it to a restaurant in the town to exchange for some money.
On the way back, I saw a thin beggar, about six or seven years old, dirty all over, wearing a torn jacket with cotton wool exposed, trembling with cold.
Taohua felt pity and gave him one dollar. The little beggar grabbed Taohua and kowtowed to her, saying with tears in his eyes: "Please take me in with kind people. I will do a lot of work and I eat very little. My mother is dead, so I am the only one."
Taohua's heart is soft. In this winter, such a young child will definitely not be able to withstand it. So Taohua took him to the cowshed and said to him, "I am an unpopular person. This is my residence. If you want, stay. As long as I have something to eat, you will definitely not be missing."
The little beggar smiled, his eyes shining. He said anxiously, "I am willing. I will do a lot of work." He was afraid that Taohua would not believe it, so he hurriedly took a broom and swept it hard.
Peach Blossoms looked at the little beggar, and the little beggar looked at the peach Blossoms, and both of them laughed.
From then on, the little beggar followed Peach Blossoms, and Peach Blossoms always cleaned up the little beggar, although the clothes were covered with patches.
Day after day, year after year, peach blossoms gradually grow old, and the little beggar gradually grows up. He can go to the mountain alone to chop firewood and then pick it up to the town to sell. Then I will buy some meat and always give the remaining money to peach blossoms.
Later, as the working boom swept across the countryside, the little beggar bid farewell to his peach blossoms and boarded the train heading south.
The little beggar entered an electronics factory. He always worked hard whether it was dirty or tiring. He also learned how to weld and obtained special operation certificates such as welding certificates, cutting certificates, etc.
As the Chinese New Year approached, he returned to the cowshed where Taohua was located, bought supplements for Taohua, and bought new cotton coats and cotton shoes. Taohua looked at the little beggar who was one head taller than her, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows.
Now, the little beggar has married and had children, and has bought a house in the county where we are. The couple found a job in the county, taking care of their family and peach blossoms. Taohua is almost 70 years old, and she occasionally helps them cook rice in the county town.
The family has been happy for three generations, without ridicule or abuse. Peach blossoms live in a harmonious family in their later years, and their children and grandchildren are surrounded by their knees, so they no longer have to bear the rolling eyes of others.
