After nearly twenty years, Du Xueru had forgotten his name and couldn't pronounce it for a while.
She would always remember his appearance: he was in his early twenties, different from the farmers working in the countryside, he was fair and delicate, with handsome features.
Du Xueru saw such a good-looking man for the first time.
At that time, it was still the previous dynasty, and all men had to wear braids, but he had short hair, wore a Western hat, and had a fake braid behind the hat.
This is a young man who came back from abroad.
He was enthusiastic and lively. As soon as he arrived, he praised the sweet soil and water in the countryside, which made him feel like his hometown.
When he arrived, Xiao Ying took her daughter out for a trip and happened to be away from home. The steward received him.
Du Xueru was very curious about him, so the young girl made herself dazzling, put on the most decent new clothes, and went to bring him tea.
As expected, he left her talking.
"Do you know where there is a post office near here?" he asked Du Xueru, "I have to send a telegram."
There was no post office in the town at that time, so we had to go to the county town to deliver.
He then asked how to get to the county seat and when the hostess would return.
Xiao Ying's return journey was uncertain, so the man did not dare to leave. Country people were shy, so although they entertained him, they did not pay much attention to him, except Du Xueru who was busy.
She knew that the other servants in the family laughed at her, saying that she was obsessed and wanted to elope with this fake foreign devil.
Du Xueru just loved talking to him.
A man was alone in a strange place and needed a guide, so he took out the candies and biscuits in his suitcase to entertain Du Xueru, and even taught her to sing.
"I studied singing in England for several years and later played in an opera troupe." The man told Du Xueru.
Du Xueru's voice condition is not bad, and the man seems to be addicted to teaching her, keeping her by his side all day long.
At that time, Du Xueru was extremely sweet.
She fantasizes about leaving the country, going to England with that man, and living another happy life in a foreign country. She can sing with him, wash and cook for him.
However, half a month later, Xiao Ying and Du Xiaoqin came back.
As soon as the man saw Du Xiaoqin, his eyes lit up. They both looked similar, she was the little girl, the younger sister, and Du Xiaoqin was the beauty.
Xueru no longer remembers how Du Xiaoqin took away the man she loved so much. She only remembers that she was angry, desperate, and even thought about death.
Du Xiaoqin and the man were not married. She was much more wild than Xueru, and she soon became pregnant.
But misfortune happened at this time.
The man learned that Du Xiaoqin was pregnant and ran away secretly. No one knew how he ran away, but he left anyway. Xueru didn't know the inside story, but she heard Du Xiaoqin and Xiao Ying quarreling.
She didn't hear clearly what the quarrel was about.
During those days, the family was very dull. Xueru and Du Xiaoqin's biological mother died a year before that. Xueru was very lonely, and she hated Du Xiaoqin to death.
In the past, when Du Xiaoqin was scolded by Xiao Ying, she would go to her own mother to cry. After she cried, she would treat Xiao Ying more intimately than her own mother.
Without her own mother, she used Xueru as a "confidence bucket" and cried to her.
Under such circumstances, the two sisters established a "deep relationship". Du Xiaoqin was unilateral, but Du Xueru still hated her to death.
Du Xueru wanted to find that man, but she had no money. She had been planning that when the disgusting bastard in Du Xiaoqin's belly was born, she would assume that Du Xiaoqin would run away with her.
Du Xiaoqin did run away with her.
Xiao Ying's daughter is rich, and Du Xiaoqin carries a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and silver notes in her suitcase.
There were no trains at that time, so the two sisters took a carriage and walked all the way north.
Halfway through, Du Xueru got the box as she wished, threw away Du Xiaoqin, and ran to Guangzhou alone. She remembered that the man said that he had a house in Guangzhou.
A few years later, Du Xueru failed to find that man, and was defrauded of all her wealth by another man, and ran to become a singer. However, Du Xiaoqin was very lucky, met the fourth master of the Xi family, and became the fourth master of the Xi family.
stepmother.
However, Du Xueru still snatched "this piece of land" from her.
The man who had never been heard from had become an eternal pain in Du Xueru's heart.
Yun Qiao actually looks a bit like him.
"Oh, by the way, his name is Lin Tian." Du Xueru suddenly remembered this.
His name meant nothing to her. She was distracted for a long time before she remembered it.
