Tick-tock-tock-tock.
A drop of water fell from the gap above the beam, and the clear round bead quickly turned into a greasy water spot on the powder.
The friction of cloth shuttles was accompanied by the movement of a gray pupa on the bed board.
An arm comparable to fine white jade poked out from the gray mass.
The nails painted with red cinnamon were shiny and set off the snow-white jade arm.
In just a blink of an eye, the gray mass flattened into two thin gray lines.
A big girl wearing a lotus root pink princess dress sat under the gray lines, her face obscured by quite modern curly hair.
She seemed a little annoyed, as if she had a child's temper, and landed heavily on the bed board.
The bed board creaked under her movement.
Perhaps it was because of the creaking of the bed board and the noise of dripping water.
She soon became annoyed again.
He kicked off the half-covered quilt, and finally sat angrily against the mottled and damp wall, avoiding the "sky window" where water was leaking.
The shadow of Rong Jinhua, the little princess of the Rong family, can be vaguely seen in her current appearance, but it is no longer obvious.
"Xiaoqing Xiaoqing" accompanied by her shouting, a head poked out from the dark stairway of the attic.
On her little yellowish face, a pair of eyes like black grapes kept spinning.
The shrewd little girl appeared in front of her.
"You lazy guy, why are you here?"
"Miss."
Xiao Qing looked at her aggrievedly, and the pitiful look made the hardness in her heart soften a little.
She looked at Xiao Qing sideways and waved her hand, "Come on, let's hire a master to repair the house."
Xiaoqing didn't move, hesitated for a while, then boldly moved to her, and whispered: "Miss, why don't you just make do with it, we have no money."
"If you dare to behave in front of me, I will let you go, so just go."
Jinhua cursed, took out something from the bed and threw it at Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing picked it up and saw that it was a bright gold bracelet with a thin It is wrapped with gold wire and embedded with rubies the size of pigeon eggs.
"Let's take it."
Jinhua didn't look at Xiaoqing, and lazily turned her head to the side of the wall.
She was silent for a while, then turned her head, looked at Xiaoqing's thin back, and said again :ot Come back and buy some eggs and cook them for yourself.
Don't keep telling others that I've treated you badly. ot's voice was a little low, but she didn't care whether Xiaoqing heard it or not, and quickly closed her eyes lazily.
Xiaoqing stayed at the top of the stairs for a while, sniffed, turned her head and glanced at Jinhua on the bed, her eyes were red, but she quickly went downstairs.
Hearing Xiaoqing's voice coming downstairs, she opened her eyes, with a numb expression on her face.
She sat staring at the raindrops splashing on the dilapidated window and sighed.
That bracelet is her last piece of jewelry.
It's cold.
She sat in silence for a while, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the corners of her eyes.
She raised her hands and saw that there were no tears on her hands.
It was difficult to even cry now.
This is what it means to cry without tears She was amused by her own thoughts and grinned.
Her pretty and innocent eyes were so bright and thrilling.
Xiaoqing soon came back with the master who repaired the house, and went upstairs to report.
When he suddenly saw her appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Sister Jin from the Rong family is one of the most beautiful girls from a wealthy family in Shanghai, so she is naturally beautiful.
But the Rong family is already a thing of the past.
No matter how beautiful a person is, without status, status, or fancy clothes, they are all in ruins.
Xiaoqing's hands clenched tightly when she regained consciousness.
Jinhua saw Xiaoqing standing at the door of the stairs, all wet, staring at him stupidly.

He also remembered that there was no oil-paper umbrella at home, and Xiaoqing had gone out in the heavy rain.
When he saw that she was thin and small, he couldn't help glaring at her and scolding her. : "You bitch, when you come back, why don't you wipe yourself with a dry handkerchief so you don't get sick from me?"
Xiaoqing came back to her senses.
Seeing Jinhua's appearance, she lowered her head and said in a timid voice, "It's okay."
Before he could finish his words, a blanket was pulled down from his head.
He heard Jinhua start to scold himself for being stupid.
"Sister Jin."
Xiao Qing suddenly knelt in front of Jinhua.
Jinhua was stunned.
Her face was sickly pale.
She stared at Xiaoqing with sharp eyes for a long time and sighed.
"I'm Rong Jinhua.
I'm no longer just a sister from the Rong family."
She glanced at the master who was repairing the leak in the house, lowered her voice, and turned away, "I'm tired, you go about your business.
Bar."
"Okay."
Xiaoqing wanted to say something more, but seeing Jinhua's gloomy look, he couldn't help but shrink his head nervously, and the wise man stopped talking and retreated.
When Xiaoqing left, in this temporarily peaceful land, the raging heavy rain finally knocked down the dying window.
The brown window covered with dirt hit her feet, and the rainwater hit the window sill.
It made her face wet.
The icy rain and biting cold wind made Jinhua wake up.
She looked at the slightly dirty window at her feet.
The fortress that had been oppressive for half a year finally collapsed in an instant, and tears mixed with the rain poured into her thin body.
She didn't cry, but her eyes were wet.
She wanted to whimper, howl, but she couldn't.
Even if you are hungry, cold, and poor, even if the house is dirty and damp, even if your relatives and friends are indifferent, and the Rong family is dilapidated, even if you are suffering humiliation now, and even if your lover has left, you will never forget it.
But she belongs to the Rong family and is the last protector of her parents' reputation.
She cannot be weak.
She hated her father's desperate measures, her mother's softness and obedience, and even more their loyal feelings.
She didn't want them to go to hell together.
At least if one of them stayed, she wouldn't be so miserable.
At least she didn't have to worry about food for the time being, or worry about whether she would have money tomorrow.
Jinhua's hands tightly grasped the wet window sill.
Every time she thought about the past, she couldn't help but tighten her grip on the window sill.
She vigorously dug her nails into the soft wood soaked by the rain until she dug out a large piece that stuck together. sawdust residue.
Although she hated it, the education she received and her upbringing told her that she should bear all this.
Jinhua stood on the window sill for who knows how long.
When the sound of Xiaoqing's stomping on the stairs woke her up, the rain outside the window had stopped, and the craftsman who repaired the house had also left.
The sky washed clean by the rain is blue and clear, just like the eyes of foreign children in the concession, clean and clear.
Jinhua stared at the sky and suddenly jumped away from this place where she could see the outside world.
She felt ashamed of the sky as clean as a child's eyes.
She touched her face.
The makeup she had carefully applied in the morning was already gone.
"Miss."
This time Xiao Qing's voice was not timid, and even revealed a bit of surprise.

Jin Hua wiped her face with a handkerchief, then turned around and looked at Xiao Qing's expressionless face, waiting for Xiao Qing's next words.
What to say.
"Miss, can you return my deed of betrayal to me?"
It was beyond her expectation.
The child who let her scold her, tolerated her temper, and whom she once thought would protect her and stay with her for a long time was about to leave.
Jinhua's face turned pale, her legs and feet were trembling a little.
She opened her mouth to ask, but she stopped when she saw Xiaoqing talking happily to herself.
"My brother came to pick me up.
He is famous now and I can live a good life."
Xiaoqing's eyes were as bright as the morning stars in the sky.
It was a look that Jinhua had never seen in her eyes before.
Jinhua raised his hand, subconsciously wanting to touch Xiaoqing's head, but met Xiaoqing's frightened face.
"Miss, please be kind and let me go.
My brother will give you a large amount of money."
She was afraid, afraid that he would not let her go, and Jinhua felt a little sour.
"Okay."
Even Jinhua was a little surprised at her decisiveness.
"How much can your brother give me?"
she asked Xiaoqing with a smile on her face.
Seeing her smile, Xiao Qing felt less afraid.
She rolled her eyes and bargained with Jinhua like a young adult: "How about two silver coins?"
"I want the most prosperous shop in the city."
She said this to the high-spirited man in military uniform standing on the stairs behind Xiaoqing.
She was somewhat difficult.
The man looked at Xiaoqing lovingly and agreed without hesitation.
"good."
Xiaoqing pouted, obviously dissatisfied with Jinhua's lion's big mouth, but when she saw her brother's doting look, she immediately smiled and didn't care anymore.
After all, she would be a young lady in the future, and her worth was still too low for her.
"Give me the land deed to the shop, and I'll give you the deed to sell Xiaoqing's body."
Jinhua said calmly.
The man put his hand into his clothes, fumbled for a while, took out several land deeds, took one out and handed it to Jinhua.
He really came prepared, Jinhua laughed.
Seeing the man glancing at her, she immediately stopped laughing, coldly took out a neatly folded piece of paper from her purse, which was Xiao Qing's contract of sale.
Jinhua took the land deed with his left hand, and the man took Xiaoqing's deed of sale with his right hand.
After that, Jinhua put the land deed into his purse, and the man tore Xiaoqing's deed of sale into pieces.
The brilliance in Xiaoqing's eyes began to shine from the moment the man took the prostitution contract.
Jinhua saw her brows full of joy, innocently looking up at her tall and majestic brother standing beside her, those talking eyes.
Unabashedly written with adoration and attachment.
Jinhua felt a little embarrassed to be sandwiched between them, but fortunately, Xiaoqing left with a wink before she could chase them away.
When Xiao Qing left, she put something hard into her palm.
The warm touch made Xiao Qing hold it for a long time.
Jinhua held on tightly and wanted to see Xiaoqing off, but Xiaoqing stopped her.
She didn't go and watched Xiaoqing get into a black car from the attic window.
Xiaoqing greeted her before getting in the car.
She waved, nodded, and watched the car carrying Xiaoqing leave.

Until the car that was driving away finally turned into a small black dot in the hazy fog.
Jinhua sighed, lowered her head, and spread her palms.
Two shiny silver coins lay in her palms.
"Xiaoqing."
Jinhua sighed and put Yuan Datou into his purse.
"He is a child with backbone."
She suddenly thought of such a sentence, and then raised her head to look at the fog in front of the window.
Her eyes were dark and had an indescribable meaning.
The rain started to fall again, pattering a little, then getting heavier and heavier, and Jinhua wrapped herself in a quilt and curled up into the cold and wet bed, half-closed her eyes, and fell asleep. sjgsf0916:
