After an unknown amount of time, Qiu Wu fell asleep. Listening to another soft snore coming from the curtain, Qiu Xia got off the bed, put on her slippers, and tiptoed to her daughter’s bedside.
Qiu Wu’s bed was against the wall with the window. The curtains Qiu Xia bought were bargains from the decoration market and had poor light-blocking properties.
Even though the curtains were closed at this moment, a lot of moonlight still filtered through. With the weak light source, Qiu Xia could clearly see her daughter’s sleeping face.
Compared with the small, wrinkled, and pink-skinned mouse when she was just born, Qiu Wu was so beautiful now, even prettier than Qiu Xia when she was young.
There was no trace of that man on this face, but just this face that looked like her when she was young was enough to remind Qiu Xia of many bad memories.
For Qiu Xia, all the pain that she suffered in the first half of her life was caused by this face.
Her real name was not Qiu Xia, but her parents followed the trend and gave her a name similar to many local girls, Sandi.
Because she was the third girl in the family, and the family still lacked a younger brother, the girl who followed after Dadi and Erdi was called Sandi1*大, dà: big, eldest. 二, èr: two. 三, sān: three
娣, dì: younger brother
This is a common name in a family that does not have a son. The daughters will be named with 娣 in the hope of having a son after this child..
Like her two older sisters, Qiu Sandi was forced to drop out of elementary school before she finished her studies.
The people there were tough and poor, and the education bureau and school teachers didn’t care about these children who dropped out of school before completing nine years of compulsory education.
It was just that Qiu Sandi was luckier than her two sisters because she was so beautiful.
In the eyes of her parents, she could marry into a good family in exchange for more betrothal gifts, so she would not be married off at the age of fifteen or sixteen like her two sisters.
When Qiu Sandi was fourteen years old, she was sent by her parents to work part-time in a local textile factory. In the textile factory, Qiu Sandi worked as an assembly line worker for three years.
Perhaps because she had been sitting in the factory without having to experience the sun, Qiu Sandi had grown more beautiful than before. She was even rated as a factory flower by caring people.
This reputation attracted Yang Kun, the biggest gangster in town. The man, who had been divorced once and had two children with his previous wife, fell in love with the young and pretty Qiu Sandi at first sight, and soon, he went to Qiu’s house to propose marriage.
Yang Kun was ugly, had a rough face, and looked fierce. Moreover, he had a bad reputation. He ran a casino, fired off anti-aircraft artillery, and was not taboo with women.
People often heard that he had an affair with someone’s young wife and was caught by her husband. This was also the reason why his first wife divorced him.
Qiu Sandi didn’t want to marry such a man, but the gift Yang Kun gave was too high.
Qiu Sandi’s parents originally wanted to exchange their daughter for a generous betrothal gift, but now the price Yang Kun offered was much higher than they expected. So even if Yang Kun had a bad reputation, it didn’t matter.
Qiu Sandi wanted to run away, but she was tied up by her parents and sent to the bridal chamber.
For her, this was not marriage. This was rape. That year, Qiu Sandi was seventeen years old.
In the second year after her marriage, the Yang family monitored her even more closely because Qiu Sandi was pregnant, and Yang Kun’s previous wife gave birth to two daughters for him.
Yang Kun always wanted a son, but they were afraid that Qiu Sandi would hurt the child in her belly. The Yang family kept an eye on the child in her belly day and night. Ten months later, Qiu Sandi gave birth to a daughter, Qiu Wu.
