The Twin Peril of Wind and Snow

This new book is just getting started. Comments are very welcome, thank you!

“Uncle... Auntie... please, lend us some money... Save Mom and Dad...”

“The doctor said... they can be cured... They really can...”

Their voices went from screams to pleas, until all that remained was a broken whisper, torn away by the wind and snow as soon as it left their lips.

The five-year-old twins knelt in the blizzard and knocked on their uncle’s door. Their father was gravely ill and their mother was near death. All they wanted was a chance to live.

Warmth filled the house. Their uncle sipped his tea without even looking up. “Those two worthless little girls will leave once they get tired of kneeling.”

Their third uncle was even worse.

Their parents died without receiving treatment. Not a single relative attended the funeral. The sisters slept under bridges, fought stray dogs for food, and searched for scraps in slop buckets. Amid the indifference of the entire town, only an old woman who collected rubbish gave them the money she had saved her whole life for her own coffin: 1,032 yuan and 80 fen.

Ten years later, they returned. They repaid kindness a hundredfold, and vengeance with thunderous force.
