Chapter 1
My name was Wu Kuishou and my sister’s was Liu Liu Liu.
On the day we were sold, we were eight years old and our family had already lost to the point of only three pairs of pants left.
The one who took a fancy to us was the wife of the merchant Su family’s owner, offering one hundred and fifty coins.
Dad was dissatisfied and kept shouting, “I am the twin! Servants are more versatile than other girls.”
My sister stepped on his foot and I headbutted him straight down under the table, smashing half his butt.
The Su family’s main wife said, “Girls should be this clever. They will achieve great things in the future.”
In this way, under her insistence, we entered slavery and became rough servants in the Su mansion.
In early March, the village peddler came to the city for business and told us that mother had died.
I was momentarily dazed. Two years ago she had been sold by dad to a low-end brothel. Dad had clearly patted his chest and guaranteed that as long as we handed over the monthly allowance to him, he would redeem mother and let her go free.
The peddler uncle shook his head and sighed, “Your monthly allowance was long gone by your dad. Now I don’t even know where he drowned.
Listen to my wife, your mother was pitiful too.
When customers kept coming, she could only lie on the kang bed gnawing on a steamed bun.
The old pimp said she had a filthy disease and in the end didn’t even get a grass mat. ”
I gave the peddler uncle six hundred coins and begged him to find mother’s corpse and bury her.
After we returned in a daze, my sister and I sat together for a long time and then said in unison, “Let’s kill dad.”
