After the frail beauty went to the countryside, she went crazy with scientific research.

Chapter 263, Episode 0277: A family of three sitting in a row eating melon seeds (Part 3)
Old Master Liu is under the thumb of his mother, and Sun Jiajia, whom he only treats as a younger sister, always looks at him with the eyes of someone who has betrayed him. The girl he likes doesn't like him back.

Under immense pressure, Liu Laoda went far away to join the army.

But no one expected that he would never return, and his remains are still in Myanmar to this day.

Madam Liu blamed Sun Jiajia instead of herself, saying that it was because of Sun Jiajia's harassment that Liu the eldest went to join the army.

“At the funeral, if it weren’t for a few of us stopping her, that old hag Liu would have beaten Sun Jiajia to death.”

The eldest son of the Liu family was the most capable and promising. After his sacrifice, no one in the Liu family made any significant achievements in any field. Although they still live in the compound, it is only because of the glory of their grandfather. After the eldest son's death, the Liu family has gradually begun to distance itself from their circle.

So what happened to the Liu family afterward, Leng Zhi and the others had no idea.

All I know is that Sun Jiajia seems to have something wrong with her head. She listens to whatever the Liu family says. Even after she got married and had children, her heart was still with the Liu family. She was even willing to poison her own son for the sake of the Liu family, just because Old Madam Liu wanted her to be adopted by the Liu family's child into the Xu family.

That's why Grandpa Xu and his father were worried about Sun Jiajia.

Zhang Hongying continued, "It wasn't honorable for Sun Jiajia to marry the eldest son of the Xu family back then."

She looked at Leng Zhi: "You know that I have a very good relationship with Aying."

Leng Zhi nodded with a slightly strange expression. The "Aying" his wife mentioned was the same name as his wife. She was Liu Hongying, the wife of the eldest son of the Huo family. She also came from the Liu family and was the younger sister of Old Master Liu. However, the two siblings had a falling out when they were young, and now you could say they were enemies.

Liu Hongying used to be his wife's team leader. His wife learned her fierceness from Liu Hongying. Thinking about the beatings he suffered when he was young, it's really hard for him to maintain a good mood when he hears Liu Hongying.

Zhang Hongying said she was a little thirsty, so she got up and went to the kitchen to get some water.

During this time, Leng Zhi briefly sorted out the relationships with his somewhat bewildered daughter.

A moment later, Zhang Hongying brought out a pot of tea, poured herself a cup, and gestured to the father and daughter to be self-reliant.

"Although Aying has severed ties with the Liu family, blood ties are hard to completely sever. The daughter of the second son of the Liu family was having a very bad time in the Liu family, and Aying couldn't ignore it after she found out."

"Liu Sui is indeed a pitiful girl. Her biological mother died when she gave birth to her, and she was taken out after her biological mother had already died. Coincidentally, Liu Lao Er was drunk and was hit by a car on the street. Although the injury was not serious, it was a bit of a coincidence. Liu Lao Tai was very superstitious. After this coincidence came together, she felt that Liu Sui was hard-fought and would bring bad luck to her relatives."

"Back then, because Liu Sui was the first child of that generation in the Liu family, when Old Mrs. Liu disliked her, she still had to consider Old Mr. Liu to some extent, so she didn't dare to go too far."

When Liu Sui was four years old, Old Madam Liu met a shaman who said that Liu Sui was destined to be widowed and widowed, and that she would bring misfortune to heaven, earth, and her parents. Anyone who got close to her would be cursed, especially her blood relatives.

Good heavens! Old Madam Liu already thought she was tough, and after the shaman said that, she even thought Liu Sui was the culprit when she sneezed.

She didn't have the guts to kill her, so she thought of throwing Liu Sui away, far away, so that she wouldn't be able to harm her.

But Grandpa Liu didn't believe in these things. They wanted to break these feudal superstitions, so how could they allow their own family members to believe in them?
That's right. Old Master Liu is very busy, and he rarely even spends time at home, let alone pay much attention to Liu Sui's life. At most, he'll ask a few questions each time he comes home. Since they can't be abandoned, Old Madam Liu doesn't want Liu Sui to have an easy time. She believes that the worse Liu Sui's life is, the less she can bring them misfortune. When Old Master Liu comes home and asks about Liu Sui, she either lies to appease him or uses visual tricks to deceive him.

Liu Sui had never worn a new piece of clothing or eaten a full meal in the Liu family for more than ten years. She was so thin that she was skin and bones, and her clothes were always tattered.

When Grandpa Liu wanted to see Liu Sui, Grandma Liu would have someone dress Liu Sui in a nice outfit. As for her thinness, she said it was because she was in poor health and could not gain weight no matter how much she ate.

The whole family cooperated with Madam Liu. Liu Sui wanted to live, but she dared not tell the truth and even pretended to be mute for several years.

She was so successful at pretending to be mute that the Liu family gradually stopped keeping her locked up. After all, she had never been to school and was mute, so she had no way to tell anyone about her ordeal.

When Liu Sui was really hungry, she would run to the trash cans at the back door of the state-run restaurant to pick up food.

After one or two times, she was naturally discovered by the staff of the state-run restaurant. However, she looked so pitiful that even the homeless were a bit fatter than her, so no one in the state-run restaurant made things difficult for her. Sometimes they would even leave her some extra food.

Liu Sui was only eleven years old at that time.

Sometimes the waiters would bring her some candy from home, sometimes the head chef would save her two pieces of braised pork, and sometimes the kitchen helpers would bring her a short-sleeved shirt for her daughter. The people at the state-run restaurant fed her like this for four years.

When Liu Sui was fifteen, Liu Hongying was transferred back to Beijing and worked at the Public Security Bureau opposite the state-run restaurant. She would occasionally eat at the state-run restaurant.

The staff at the state-run restaurant treated Liu Sui well. Liu Sui was a grateful child and often helped out at the restaurant with whatever she could. Liu Hongying would occasionally come over for a meal and that's how she got to know this special little employee at the restaurant.

However, she didn't know at first that this was a child of the Liu family. Although she knew that the child also had the surname Liu, she didn't think about it in that way. After all, although the Liu family was declining, they were not short of money to raise children. The old man alone earned more than two hundred yuan a month.

Then a shocking series of murders occurred in Beijing. The killer's targets were all pretty girls around fourteen or fifteen years old. Liu Sui, who was also beautiful, was also targeted and almost fell into the enemy's hands.

The little girl was terrified, so Liu Hongying decided to take her home.

It was then that she realized Liu Sui was actually her eldest niece.

Although Liu Hongying had severed ties with the Liu family, she still knew a little about their affairs. The fact that Liu Sui was considered an omen of bad luck by the Liu family was not a secret in their circle. However, since the Liu family did not show any signs of feudal superstition in public, everyone turned a blind eye.

“In Aying’s mind, the Liu family members were all hypocritical and pretentious. Liu Sui was different from the Liu family. After she found out what Liu Sui used to be like from the restaurant, she wanted to go and beat up the Liu family even more.”

Although she didn't actually attack the Liu family's residence, she did break into Old Master Liu's office and even smashed the office window.

No one knows what Old Master Liu was thinking, but from then on, Liu Sui's life became much better. Old Master Liu found her a job on the assembly line at a textile factory, and she lived directly in the factory dormitory. Old Master Liu would also give her twenty to fifty yuan and some coupons every month, saying that she should keep them for her future dowry.

Her aunt, Liu Hongying, would often take care of her.

It's like the end of hardship has finally brought happiness!
