The stench in the basement was overwhelming, with rats scurrying about constantly.
Qian Mentao was always waiting for Qiao Yue'er to help her find a lover, so that she could leave. Now the old things only gave her one steamed bun a day, she could not get enough to eat. She hadn't bathed in a long time, her body was greasy and smelly. What made her even more distraught was that when she tugged her hair a couple of times today, clumps of it actually fell out!
Because of the suffering, time seemed to stretch infinitely, and every minute and second felt particularly hard to endure.
Thinking of the past luxury and comfort, she felt as if it was a lifetime ago. She increasingly hated everyone in the Qiao Family, Qiao Qiqi was no good, Qiao Guangzong and the old things were even worse. As for Qiao the Second's family couple, she wouldn't let any of them go!
