Pastoral Bamboo Fragrance

Chapter 1 Traveling (1)
Li Zhu woke up three times from the cold and twice from starvation. It was not until dawn that she felt a little warmth in the cold bed. She curled up and frowned thinking about her situation.

Li Zhuben is a modern person. After graduating from university, she neither took the civil service examination according to the expectations of her relatives and friends, nor took over the family's catering business.

This family was also surnamed Li, and her father was named Li Dafu. In Li Zhu's few surviving memories, this father was an irritable and lazy master who beat and scolded his wife and children whenever things went wrong.Her elder sister married far away, her second and third sisters were capable and well-behaved, and her twin brother was a baby. She was the only one who became Li Dafu's usual punching bag, no, it should be said, his parents' dual-purpose punching bag.Because her mother, Xiao Shi, was beaten and scolded, she also needed a way to vent.In addition, she is still the little girl of her brother who is half an hour older than her.

Li Zhu wears leftovers from her sisters, and eats leftovers.Really answered the sentence: get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, eat worse than pigs, and work more than donkeys.

As for why Li Zhu received such treatment, the child has no mother, it is a long story.

Let’s start with the night when Li Zhu was born.According to the villagers, that night, there were thunder and lightning and heavy rain.

Her mother Xiao struggled for three days and two nights, and finally gave birth to a pair of children.His son, Li Ji, hardly cried when he was born, and was as thin as a kitten.On the contrary, it was Li Zhu who cried loudly and hugged her heavily.The midwife said casually, the little girl sucked up all the good things.However, the Li family took it seriously and blamed Li Zhu for Li Ji's thinness.Who is Li Ji?That was the hope and sustenance of the whole family. After Xiao gave birth to three daughters, she prayed to God and worshiped Buddha to conceive the baby lump.

After Li Zhu's misfortune had a beginning, other misfortunes followed.Li Ji has been suffering from minor illnesses since he was born, which is naturally on Li Zhu's head; just after Li Zhu's full moon, there was a flood in Lijia Village, and most of Li's fields were flooded. Li Dafu also blamed Li Zhu, saying She overcomes her brother Kemuke the whole family.Not to mention that Mr. Li died of illness, Uncle Li broke his leg, and Li Dafu always lost in gambling, all these things were blamed on Li Zhu.

All in all, Li Zhu is like Coptis chinensis soaked in bitter water, suffering unspeakably.At first, she would resist, but every time she resisted, she would face more severe beatings. Gradually, she became numb.The whole person is numb, his eyes are empty, and he has almost no vitality.

Li Zhu was engrossed in his thoughts, when suddenly a shrill voice rang out:

"The sun is shining on my buttocks and I still don't get up to work, a bunch of lazy cowards, what crimes did I do in my previous life, and this bunch of sinners are spread. That broom star is still dead on the bed... ..." This person is the original body's grandma, Mrs. Liu.

At this time, a female voice persuaded in a low voice: "Grandma, Xiao Ji kicked her yesterday, hit the corner of the table, shed a lot of blood..."

Liu yelled again: "Scared, you can stop working if you bleed a little? Don't worry, that broom star is very hard, and it's not easy to die!"

After cursing for a while, Mrs. Liu was called out by people outside the courtyard.Li Zhu continued to lie down, thinking in her head: what should she do next?Can you go out independently?Working part-time, is there any other way out for a woman in this era to become a maid?What's more, are there any normal people in this family besides the best?
It's a pity that Li Zhu only accepted part of the original owner's memory, and after thinking for a while, he still had no clue.

She didn't lie down for a long time before she was dragged up by her mother Xiao to work.

In front of Li Zhu was a basin full of dirty clothes.
