Recalling past events, old Aunt Xing's tears flowed uncontrollably.
In her recounting, Su Qingyue and Xiao Yuchuan learned that back then, the farmer Lu Erdan married a woman named Huang and had two daughters, the elder one Lu Xingcui, and the younger Lu Xingu.
Huang died during childbirth when Lu Xingu was born, and Lu Erdan immediately remarried a woman named Lady Mo.
Lady Mo bore three sons and naturally disliked the sisters Xingu and Xingcui, considering them loss-making goods.
The Lv Family had several acres of fields, and when Lady Mo entered the house, Xingcui was ten years old. Despite her young age, she was good at work and very diligent.
As Lady Mo's three sons grew, Lady Mo had long harbored the idea of selling Xingu and Xingcui, yet she was reluctant to part with Xingcui's ability to work.
This delay dragged on until Xingcui was twenty years old, when she was sold as a concubine to a sixty-year-old man.
