Everyone else was happy, but her life was as miserable as Huang Lian's. No one cared even if she went crazy.

Su Ying did not know how to hate until she died.
The mission she gave Xia Ling was not to seek revenge on the SU family and old master Su, but to study.
She wanted to change her fate. Just like everyone else in the village, she sat in school, attended classes, and studied. In the future, she would get into a good school and leave the village to live a good life.
She had a good time with the village head's Su Mei. Su Mei went to school every day, and later, she even went to university. She was completely different!
Su Ying looked at Su Mei, and her heart was filled with envy. This envy would last her entire life, so she wanted to change her fate. She no longer wanted to be a tool for anyone, and only wanted to live a good life for herself!

On such a hot day, other people's houses had all gone to rest, but only the Su family was still working.
Now, the village was divided into plots according to the number of people. The two adults and three children of the Su family originally had more land than other people's houses. In order to fill the hole, Father Su had to ask for three or four more eyes than the others.
A laborer with a family of women and children. These ten acres of corn were enough for them to work day and night!
Breaking corn was the hardest work in the field. In the 1990s, there were machines to harvest everything.
Now, the harvesters in summer were still rare. The men and women had to get the corn, cotton, and peanuts from the field bit by bit.
After a busy morning, Su Ying had finished breaking three rows of corn, while mother Su had only finished breaking two rows.
In the past few days, there were only five rows of corn left in the two acres of land. After finishing the work in the afternoon, the two women could move to other fields. Su Ba would hoe the corn out here alone, and he could pull it back to pile firewood in the sun.
Other than the heat, Xia Ling also felt very tired.
Su Ying was only eleven years old, and she was also a little girl. Even a man with such high-intensity Labor could not stand it, let alone her!
Mother Su sat on the ground and drank water. The corn field was not ventilated, but the ground could rest, and she could also drink some water and slack off.
In the past, when mother Su rested, Su Ying had to finish his three rows before helping mother Su finish the two rows.
But now, Xia Ling was tired, so she did not do it anymore.
She carried her own basket to the ground and sat down beside mother Su.
There was a cool shade of corn on her head. Now that she was sitting here, she could enjoy the cool breeze. It was really a divine enjoyment!
"Mom, I'm thirsty. Give me some water to drink. "
"Why are you resting? " Su Ying's mother glared at Su Ying. "Don't think about playing tricks. Your father said that if we don't finish this mu of land this morning, none of us will be able to go home for dinner. "
"I'm thirsty! " Xia Ling didn't talk to Su Ying's mother. She snatched the kettle from Su Ying's hand.
This kettle was a military kettle used by the army, and it could hold water very well.
The Su family was divided into two families. The eldest took up a lot of land and wood, and he only gave Papa Su a kettle that grandpa Su had used when he was a soldier. This kettle was also a treasure in the SU family.
He was so thirsty that the water he drank was like a shower.
Mama Su was also thirsty. She didn't know what Su Sanmei was doing. She should have brought food and water a long time ago, but she didn't come until now.
A pot of water for the whole family to last the whole morning was also the limit. It was already half a pot, so Mama Su restrained herself and only had half of it left.
Xia Ling raised her head, and the water was gone.
"YOU WRETCHED GIRL Your father is still working. Why did he drink the water after you finished it? He will beat you to death later. How come he doesn't know the principle of being filial to your parents? He sent you to school for so many years for nothing!"Mama Su picked up the shoe under her butt and hit Xia Ling.
Xia Ling didn't intend to keep it when she drank it.
Why was it that they were all children? If Su an and Su Sanmei didn't want to do it, she would be their slave?
