They eventually had two more daughters, but never a son. The silver-tongued eldest sister married a man in the village who was blind in one eye. Watching her carry a child on her back yet still going up the mountain for wood and down to the fields for farm work, living such a hard and poor life, I walked up to her and called to her. Looking at her wax-yellow, bloodless face, I thought, perhaps this was heavenly arrangent. As a timid and pitiful child, I was pushed out of the house by this person. I went through years of begging, but now have beco a favored daughter of heaven, unlike her, who stayed in that ho and stepped into the destined path like all the won in this village.
Ironically, Laidi did not recognize . When she looked at , her eyes were full of envy.
Indeed, I think she should envy . At twenty-two, the age of blooming flowers, she is bent like an old woman under the weight of life’s burdens, with dark, rough skin on her hands and clothes that are all patches.
And I, wearing branded clothes from a big mall, spotless from head to toe, stood before her like a deity, while she was like a mud figurine.
No one in that family missed the sold Zaodi, just as I never missed that ho.
I mockingly watched them busy themselves over a penny without rest and then left that mountain village, never again thinking of going back. I saw everything I wanted to see and was very satisfied and pleased.
I originally thought all I owned would continue on like this forever.
My things would always be mine.
Until later, Ding Jinshi appeared. I drove her out of my world, but never expected that after Ding Jinshi, the intruder, Gu Zhilan would appear in my world.
I will always rember the first glance I saw Gu Zhilan. She stood next to a man, wearing a light green dress. I must admit, she was very pretty. Her shapely figure and fair skin, with a small face and those water-like eyes almost compelled one to take another look. Lin Deng said her smile seed to light up other people’s worlds. To this, I sneered; n are all visual creatures, even Lin Deng was no exception.
The first ti I heard the na He Zhilan, my first reaction was that there was still soone in this world who would use such an outdated na like Gu Zhilan. But at the ti, I could not have imagined that she was the very Gu Zhilan I watched disappear into the crowd!
When I flipped to a photograph in her book, my hands trembled. I would never forget that chubby face, would never forget every person in the photograph!
He Zhilan! He Zhilan! She is the Gu Zhilan lost all those years ago!
She has returned! She has really returned! Does she want to take everything away from ? My dad and mom, my grandpa and grandma, everyone who loved , cared for , will they all be taken by her?
My beautiful clothes, my big room, everything, everything I have, do I have to return them to her one by one? Everything I’ve barely gained, is it all going to suddenly vanish again, am I going to beco the Zaodi begging on the streets?
No! I don’t want that! That is the nightmare of my life! I never want to beco Zaodi again!
