Su Qin'er had no source of income. The meager savings she had saved from buying cakes and frugally could only support her for a short period of time.
She thought about finding a job elsewhere, but no one in Taoyuan Town was willing to take her in.
Su Qin'er, who was desperate, knew very well that she could not stay in Taoyuan Town any longer.
She didn't know where she could go, nor what kind of life she would live after leaving Taoyuan Town. It was very likely that she would face no fixed place and living on the streets from now on, but she thought, no matter how difficult such a life would be,
It's better than staying in Taoyuan Town and being criticized and scorned by others.
It was one winter when Su Qin'er decided to leave Taoyuan Town again.
The weather was surprisingly good that day, and the sun shone warmly on the whole town. The wooden sign placed by the fortune teller on the street said that it was a good day and a good time to get married.
Usually on such an auspicious day, someone would have to hold a happy event, but this day was a rare bustle in Taoyuan Town, as two large families held a happy event.
These two families were among the richest in Taoyuan Town, and neither wanted to be outdone by the other, so they tried their best to organize the wedding. The wedding was even more festive than the Chinese New Year, and almost everyone in Taoyuan Town came with their families.
I took my family to these two houses to join in the fun.
Of course, Su Qin'er would not join in the fun. She also knew that even if she went, she would be kicked out.
She started cleaning the small house where she lived early in the morning, making it spotless from inside to outside.
After lunch, the buyer she had made an appointment with arrived. Although the cabin was small, it was clean and tidy. The buyer was very satisfied and paid the money with one hand and received the land deed with the other.
When Su Qin'er signed and stamped the land deed, she always felt that this scene seemed familiar, as if it had happened somewhere before.
She tilted her head and recalled it for a long time, but couldn't find any clues in her mind, so she finally gave up.
It has been more than half a year since she returned to Taoyuan Town. The things she bought were either too much or too little. She couldn't take them all with her, so she could only sell them at the same price at a discount.
She packed a small package for herself in advance, which contained some dry food and some close-fitting changes of clothes, and there was nothing else except the silver coins beside her.
By the time she finished processing her things, it was already evening. She was a little hungry, so she ordered a bowl of steaming clear soup noodles from a stall in the night market.
After hurriedly filling her stomach, she picked up the only small package she had left and set out on the road overnight.
Su Qin'er had walked along the streets and alleys of Taoyuan Town countless times. Today, when she left, she knew that she would never come back. She usually didn't feel that the road was very long, but today she felt it was extra long.
The town has been bustling since early in the morning and it hasn't stopped yet.
When Su Qin'er passed by the door of a house where a wedding was held, she saw lights and colorful decorations inside, and people drinking and drinking. She couldn't help but pause for a moment. When the entourage at the door saw her, they immediately yelled at her for bad luck and drove her away.
Su Qin'er looked away, silently endured the other party's insults, lifted the package onto her shoulder, and left in a hurry.
After walking far away, she vaguely heard the two attendants spitting on her body, scolding her for being wanton and shameless.
Su Qin'er always thought that she could leave Taoyuan Town quietly. Only when the people in the town woke up from the wedding banquet of these two families tomorrow and found that she had never appeared on the street selling cakes again would they find out later.
When Jue realized what she was doing, she left.
But God did not give up on Su Qin'er so easily. She was stopped by a dozen young men.
They didn't know which wedding banquet they came from and got drunk and left together.
Su Qin'er walked directly opposite them. She lowered her head and walked around the corner to avoid this group of people. However, one of them happened to be sharp-eyed and saw her. Usually everyone pays attention to their image and politeness, so they can avoid her.
He avoided her as far as he could. After drinking that day, he relaxed a little and said, "Hey, isn't that the courtesan from Kyoto?"
His words caused the group of people to look at her.
Taoyuan Town is a small town, so there are no such brothels. Everyone has heard about what the brothels in Kyoto are like from some vendors, or read about them in some books.
Since ancient times, men have loved romance, and they also want to know what the flavor of a famous brand is.
…
At this point, Mr. Chen stopped.
Zhong Shaoyu and others were listening intently. Seeing Mr. Chen's expression of embarrassment, Yuan Jingce couldn't help but ask: "What next?"
Mr. Chen struggled for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said: "Then, one of the men was very angry when he saw Su Qin'er ignoring them, and grabbed Su Qin'er. Su Qin'er was really beautiful. The man was close.
After watching, he got a weird idea, and he suggested to everyone that they are all brothel girls anyway, and they have served so many people, so they don't care to serve a few more of their brothers."
Mu Rou: "Dirty and shameless!"
Mr. Chen did not answer, but lowered his head and continued: "Some people have no guts and stand aside to watch the show. Some people are tempted by this proposal, and then...then..."
Zhong Shaoyu watched Mr. Chen hesitate for a long time and couldn't come up with an answer, so he said for him: "Then those men ruined Su Qin'er."
