Martinmei was sent to a back house in Nanchang called "Ma Family Restaurant".

The boss Ma Guizeng is in his forties, and he is very solid in shape, with a bald, fat face, and a pair of small eyes revealing a shrewd look.

"Daughter, my name is Ma Guizeng, from Yangzhou. From now on, you are my daughter, I am your real father. This is your mother, Xu." Ma Guizeng pointed to a tall woman with thick hands and feet beside him and introduced to Martinmei.

When Martinmei saw the couple, the man was short and strong, and the woman was tall, she seemed to be younger than the woman in age, so she couldn't help but find it funny.

I heard that my identity is the daughter of these two people, and I felt a little tired for a while: "I am so oily and dirty. Are you worthy of being my father? My father is the assistant..."

"Hmm?! Didn't you hear it?" Ma Guizeng narrowed his eyes and his expression turned sharp when he saw Martin Mei not speaking.

Martinmei was frightened by his eyes, and then realized that he was no longer himself. This father was fake, so why are he picking? Besides, does he have the right to pick and choose?

Just act like acting.

"Dad..., Mom."

Martin yelled out in a low voice.

"That's right. You must act carefully in the future and never show your strength. Let your mother tell you about the family affairs, and you must remember it carefully." After Ma Guizeng said that, he raised his legs and left the main room and went to the yard.

"My daughter, she looks so handsome. Come on, daughter, I will take you to your room to see." Xu took Martin Mei's hand, looked up and down, left and right, then pulled her up and down, and walked towards the east wing room.

Is this my own boudoir? Not bad. Although the beds and bedding are a little ordinary, they are all new and clean. In addition to women's households, there is also a desk in the house. The four treasures of the study are all very complete. There is actually a guqin near the north wall.

"I heard that you can draw and play the piano. This is something your father specially ordered. My daughter, do you like it?" Xu said.

Martinmei happily plucked the strings with her fingers. The sound was very clear and it felt pretty good.

"Mom, my daughter likes it very much. Thank you for your care and care."

"Just like it. You are tired all the way, are you tired? Mom makes a basin of water for you, wash your face first, and then you take a break. My mother calls you when you eat. After dinner, we will talk to each other." Xu said with a smile.

"Thank you, mom."

...

Martinmei slept for a while and felt much better. She got up and walked around the yard. But she found that Ma Guizeng was washing a transparent thing repeatedly, white and thin.

"Dad, what is this?"

"Pig urine soaks. They have been washed clean. Soaked in wine for one night, it will be almost ready to use." Ma Guizeng didn't raise his head, but just lowered his head to wash the thing.

"What's the use of this? Is it useful for cooking?" asked Martin Mei.

"...Stop asking, it's not for cooking." Ma Guizeng hesitated and answered.

"Oh." Seeing that Ma Guizeng refused to say anything, Martin didn't ask again.

In the evening, Xu went to Martinmei's room and told Martinmei the story of her and Ma Guizeng.

"Daughter, your father asked me to tell you about our family affairs. Alas, there is nothing to say. If your father hadn't asked me to tell you, I wouldn't dare mention it. I usually don't dare to think about it. Speaking of those things, my mother's heart is like a needle." Xu sat on the bed, took a handkerchief in her hand, patted Martin's leg, and said with a sad face.

"Mom? You and my dad..."

"Oh, your father and I were not husband and wife earlier."

"What?"

"Listen to me to tell you slowly. We are indeed from Yangzhou. I married another man named Ma when I was young. I am both a brother of the same clan and a neighbor as your current father. The two families are very close to each other. In addition, I gave birth to a son and a daughter. The son was two years older than my daughter. Your father also gave birth to two sons. My son was very diligent and filial. My daughter is very handsome, similar to you, and she is loved by people since she was young. My head pig slaughtered, your father opened a small restaurant, and my pork was delivered to his restaurant, and life was pretty good."

When Martinmei heard this, she saw Xu's eyes shining with excitement.

"But, the good days ended the year before yesterday. The Qing soldiers fought to the edge of the Yangtze River. Shi Xueshu fought to the death in Yangzhou to resist the Qing soldiers. The Qing soldiers sent people to persuade him to surrender, but he would not surrender. This made the Qing soldiers anxious, and they opened the city wall with red cannons and began to kill people everywhere!"

Speaking of this, tears fell in Xu's eyes: "It's so miserable! All the men in the city were killed, their bodies were piled up like hills, and their blood was flowing like rivers. Poor my husband and son were also killed, and even their bodies could not be identified. My daughter was only thirteen years old and was tragically trashed by a team of soldiers. They were all in front of me... Woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo woo

Speaking of this, Xu could no longer help but burst into tears...

"Oh, this is also a miserable person." Martinmei was crying when she said it, and reached out to hold her rough hands.

"Even me, wuwuwu..., let four or five beasts give it to me..." Xu covered his face with a veil, cried bitterly, and could no longer say anything.

Martin Mei empathized with her and shed tears with her.

After crying for a while, Xu relieved the pain a little, slowly stopped crying, and said, "I heard from the old people that life in troubled times is as cheap as a dog. It is true that Mei'er, you have never seen a murderer. It's much easier than killing a pig. With a snap, you didn't even have time to say a word, and a life will be gone. The dog-going Tartars killed ten days in a row, with 800,000 lives. Why do you think they are so cruel?! They are crueler than tigers and wolves."

"Mom, then my dad..."

"Oh, your father's family was killed, and none of his wife's two sons survived. Your father was short and very clever. He dug a tunnel at home early and put some food. It happened that day that he used it, and he hid in the tunnel and escaped his life. His wife and son were both in the store, and they both died before they could go home."

"That night, the beasts finally left, and I thought about hanging them. I buried the body of my husband, son and daughter in the yard, then tied a rope cover on the beam of the house, and wanted to hang them. As soon as I stood on the chair, your father suddenly pushed the door and hugged me tightly. She covered my mouth and stopped me from speaking, and then brought me into his tunnel. He advised me to stay and avenge my husband, son and daughter. After hearing his words, I calmed down and thought about revenge alone."

"What happened later?"

"Later, all the food in the tunnel was eaten up. Although there was money - it was your father put in the tunnel earlier, but it couldn't be hidden, right? But the streets were full of Tartars, how could he go out? Every night your father went out to see it, but he never found a good way."
