Lost my parents because I was eight years old and lived with my grandparents since then. Although I was loved by my grandparents, I couldn't resist the fact that there was a good old man at home who was not stingy.
and his newly married aunt are even more of a good-looking person. Not only do they speak vulgarly to the two elders, but they also beat and scold Xiu Gu. Xiu Gu has been bullied by her a lot.
Grandparents are honest and honest people and have been cowardly for most of their lives, so they have to protect their granddaughter. Most of the time, they are insulted by the evil daughter-in-law along with their granddaughter.
Every time at this time, the two old men could only swallow their anger and wiped their tears behind their backs.
In fact, Xiu Gu is a tough girl in her bones and has also fought against her little aunt. The ending she gets naturally can be imagined.
not only made her worse for herself, but even her grandparents' life became even worse.
After a long time, Xiu Gu has developed a tolerant and taciturn character.
Looking at a lively and cheerful little girl, gradually, she became less talkative and her temperament became more and more dull. When most people in the village saw it, they would inevitably stop and sigh, saying a few words about this little girl without father or mother.
But although life is difficult, the embroidery aunt has grown up under the protection of her grandparents, and she has learned a good hand at embroidery.
It is precisely because of this that in the autumn of her sixteen years old, she finally ushered in the first opportunity in her life...
The day is coming, and the autumn is as cool as water.
The cousin of my uncle's house, who was two years younger than Xiu Gu, was happily coming out of Xiu Gu's room, but when she saw her look like a thief, her arms were still bulging. When she was looking around and walking out, she was just overwhelmed with Xiu Gu who had returned from her.
Although she is younger than Xiu Gu, she has a good meal since she was a young man and has a big waist and a round waist. This collision knocked the thin Xiu Gu to the ground.
But not only did she not help her, she even kicked Xiu Gu a few more times before leaving with a swagger.
When Xiu Gu rubbed her arms into the room, she saw the half-open cabinet drawer, she realized her cousin's purpose.
I saw that the drawer with a pair of embroidery was empty, and the embroidered girl couldn't help but cry out in dismay. This was her hope. A bargaining chip that could allow her grandparents to move out with her and no longer be bullied by her aunt. Unexpectedly, she was deprived of her cousin.
Xiu Gu was unwilling to give up and decided to get her hope back. At this moment, she decided to be tough.
followed him to the east room, but saw that her cousin's door was closed. She knocked several times but failed, so she threatened to burn the house with a fire, saying that except for the main house, there was no one in the west room where she and her grandparents lived. Grandpa and grandpa went to their aunt's house today and would not come back tomorrow morning. She was not afraid of dying with them.
This threat was indeed useful. Not only did my cousin open the door angrily, but even my aunt hurriedly ran out of the main house.
She was tidying up her messy clothes while cursing at Xiu Gu, calling her an ungrateful wolf who was not well-versed.
Just as Xiu Gu was about to curse her, she heard a sound from the main room, as if some animal was opening the window and jumping down, and then there was a small sound of footsteps.
The little aunt was immediately panicked, but when she saw Xiu Gu's expression coming from doubt, she heard her mocking, "Ha, my uncle ran away quickly. When she heard that her niece was about to set fire, she left you and climbed over the wall and ran away. Your relationship was really 'deep'!"
The little aunt immediately breathed a sigh of relief and threatened that Xiu Gu would dare to dig the grave of her parents if she dared to set fire.
When Xiu Gu heard this, she was immediately discouraged.
Hehe, she smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking that a person as affectionate as her uncle can really do such a thing.
This move was a threat. She wanted her cousin to hand over the embroidery. She never thought that she would die with them. She still had grandparents to raise. Knowing that she was extreme, she chose to endure it again and turned around and left.
The mother and daughter scolded her again, and then went back to the house with their own thoughts.
The poor Empression Auntie cried when she returned to the room, but she was tough and immediately picked up the needle and thread basket next to her before she could vent her emotions and began to reconceive and proofread...
Three days later, the county town was filled with lively scenes, and countless young women in new clothes were in an orderly manner in front of an embroidery workshop.
This is the largest embroidery workshop in the county, called Xiuyunfang.
Today is the day when the shop owner Liu Xiuyun holds an embroidery competition, and the embroidery in the hands of the girls is the stepping stone for this competition.
At this time, Xiu Gu was standing at the end of the team, and her dress was particularly eye-catching in the patched clothes.
But she turned a deaf ear to the discussion around her, and thought about entering the finals and getting the reward. Then she took her grandparents to live elsewhere, and no longer had to look at her aunt's face.
At this moment, the embroidery girls in the embroidery workshop have begun to appreciate the embroidery items in the hands of the girls one by one. If they meet the finals, they will issue a special sign with the word "Embroidery Yunfang" to the selected girls.
In this way, the unqualified people were eliminated immediately, and the few remaining people could directly enter the embroidery workshop and participate in the final victory and loss competition.
Finally, the top five can be selected and can be directly put into Xiuyunfang for work.
Not only that, these five people can also receive certain rewards, especially the first place. It is said that the embroiderer has spoken this year, and will add a reward of fifty taels of silver on the original basis. Therefore, there are particularly many people participating in this biennial event this year.
Everyone wants to be that lucky person, and for this, they have applied everything they have learned throughout their lives to the fullest.
But the results of the game are always cruel. Except for the five who succeeded in the end, the rest had to leave with a sigh.
But there was one person who not only did not leave, but also made a big fuss in the shop, saying that he had evidence to prove that the first place cheated. As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.
The manager of the embroidery workshop immediately ordered someone to close the door and then asked the reason.
The woman who was making trouble pointed with her hand at the pretty woman in a ragged clothes and said sternly: "She is her! She is just an orphan who can't even afford to eat. She can't even afford ordinary needles and threads, so how could she embroider such a beautiful embroidery? She must be possessed by something, so everyone must not let her go!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the house was very surprised, especially four of them who had just won the ranking. Because the first place was actually taken away by the poor girl covered in patches, they were more or less dissatisfied. Now someone stood up to blame them, and they were happy to watch the fun, and two of them had even started to help with the fire.
Fortunately, the aunt in charge is an upright person, and she warned them not to look down on others because their family is poor. You must know that there is never a shortage of talented people in this world. As long as you work hard and have talented support, it is difficult not to succeed.
The woman who was troubled was Xiu Gu, and the person who spread rumors and caused trouble at the beginning was her cousin Guixiang. Seeing that everyone didn't believe her, she hurriedly said in desperation that she had evidence, but when the evidence was revealed, everyone found it incredible.
It turned out that just over a month ago during the competition, Guixiang got up one night and saw Xiu Gu quietly leaving the door. She thought that this little hoof was going out to meet her lover, and she wanted to be caught by herself, so she had a reason to drive her out, so she followed her quietly.
I saw Xiu Gu walking all the way to the back mountain and stopping when she arrived at the pavilion on the side of the mountain.
There was a person waiting in the pavilion. Guixiang Cat looked at the two lanterns in the pavilion by a bush, but found that the one who had a secret meeting with Xiu Gu was actually a white-haired old lady. She felt bored and wanted to leave.
But as soon as she turned around, she heard the old lady speak to Xiu Gu, "Xiao Gu, have you memorized the embroidery skills that my mother-in-law taught you these days? In a month, it will be the two-year embroidery competition in Yunxiufang. You must get a good ranking so that you can get rid of the uncle who treats you as a cow, and you can take your grandparents to live in the city. This is a chance to realize your wish. You must seize it, do you know?"
Xiu Gu nodded and responded after hearing this, then picked up the embroidery work with a determined look on his face and started practicing seriously.
Guixiang saw it and wanted to go up to learn. But after just walking for a while, she suddenly saw the old woman standing up, and this sight didn't scare her away.
I saw her white hair, her old face was covered with gullies, and there was a dark mark on her right cheek, which made her look so scary!
Guixiang immediately stopped the idea of going up to learn, turned around and ran back, but she rolled down the hillside with her legs trembling. If the moonlight was not surprisingly bright tonight, she would have fallen to the point where she would not be able to find her way home.
But at this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and when it appeared again, he stood in front of Guixiang.
Guixiang was so scared that she squinted her eyes. It didn't matter when she saw it. She just felt so scared that she didn't even dare to move her fingers anymore. The person came was the white-haired old lady. But although the distance was not very far, how could she, the old man, come to her?
Guixiang screamed in fear, and the old lady waved her sleeves and disappeared immediately.
She didn't know how she got home, and until a few days later, she was still in fear.
She was thinking about going to see the embroidery of the embroidery girl. If it was really good, she would definitely steal it and take it for herself and then take it to the competition herself, so the beginning of the scene was in existence.
But she was not stupid enough to tell this secret. Everyone heard that Xiu Gu had contact with the ghost. Now they were all stunned. Immediately, there was a lot of discussion in the whole house.
Suddenly, a hearty laughter sounded, and with a beautiful figure entering, the person coming was Liu Xiuyun, the owner of Xiuyunfang.
She glanced at everyone in the room, then fell on Xiu Gu's body, and her eyes became softer.
But she did not talk to her, but looked at Guixiang, with no anger and arrogant expression. The next moment, she ordered the guards who came in with her and said, "Come on, blow this woman full of bad insects out for me, and don't allow her to enter my Xiuyunfang in the future."
Guixiang originally wanted to make a quibble, but the owner of the shop said again: "You bite your cousin for no reason. You and your parents not only regard her as a cow, but also to their grandparents They are all cold words and insults as servants. Just people like you think that any trick can control me by driving the first place this year out of Xiuyunfang? Haha, then you are too naive! "
" But that was my own eyes..."
Before Guixiang could finish defending her, the owner of the shop had already winked at the guard guard, so one person stepped forward to cover her mouth, and the other person came forward, and the two threw the person out without any effort.
And the leading guard also secretly threatened her that if she was gossiping, she would pull her tongue out and let her be a mute for the rest of her life.
Guixiang was also afraid, so she quickly covered her mouth and never dared to speak again...
Days froze, and two years passed quickly.
A lot of things have happened in the past two years. For example, Xiu Gu is now the golden signboard of Xiuyunfang and has become the owner of the shopkeeper. Not only that, she also settled a home in the county town. Last year, she brought her grandparents to the city to support her and was also a maid and servant. The two old people live leisurely and are now urging their granddaughter to find a son-in-law to have a child every day.
In comparison, her unsatisfactory uncle and aunt's family were very unsatisfactory.
Their family is lazy, and now there are two old people and one young people who are missing to make cattle and horses for them, and their family's livelihoods have plummeted.
Although Guixiang can also embroider some beautiful patterns, she is very obedient and wants to get rich overnight. So an old man in the same city hooks up and now she has become one of the seven or eight wives and concubines of the old man.
I thought life would be very comfortable, but she thought she had never calculated the ruthlessness of the big room, and she was criticized and scolded by her behind her back.
What makes it even worse is that her parents thought she married a rich man and could soar to the sky from now on. The couple tried their best to find their daughter and son-in-law who were a few years older than them to ask for money and treasures.
After a long time, my son-in-law became annoyed, and by the way, Guixiang became annoyed, and never entered her house again.
When the other wives and concubines saw this, they stepped on her even more. For this reason, Guixiang lived a worse life in the mansion than a maid who washed her feet. From time to time, she could hear her wailing and crying, but she did not get half of the sympathy, which was also her retribution.
And her parents who were heartless and greedy were even worse. It is said that because the woman could not bear such hard days, she ran away with her husband who had been hooking up for a long time. Her uncle, who was instantly a lonely man, wandering on the street all day long, and joining the gangsters in the city.
But he was no longer young and could no longer get money from his parents to take some filial piety, so he had no place in the gangster world. In the end, he had to lick his face and come to find his niece Xiu Gu to raise him.
Xiu Gu is no longer soft-hearted. She borrowed two strong guards from Xiuyunfang, and then bought a few acres of land in the countryside, asking them to take their uncle with him, staring at him every day at sunrise and resting at sunset, asking him to support himself and the two guards with his own hands, and "reward" him a whip whenever he is lazy.
Not to mention, a surprisingly lazy person became a farmer reluctantly. Not only did he grow well in the fields, but he also raised chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. He never had to worry about starving himself to death, which was considered as having a place to rely on him.
This Japanese Xiuyun was the host, and invited his mother Liu Xiuyun to have a meal. During the meal, the mother and daughter told the past. It turned out that they had known each other for a long time. After drinking a few glasses of fruit wine, they even smiled and said, "The embroidery ghost mother-in-law was dressed very well at that time. Look, I scared my cousin."
Liu Xiuyun said proudly: "What's the matter? My light skills are unique. You didn't see your cousin's stupid look when he saw me take off and disappear. I didn't beat her up at that time, it was considered a bargain, and she asked her to bully you."
"Thank you for your mother-in-law."
Xiuyun raised her glass to her and forced her back to tears. It felt so good that someone felt hurt.
