周如砥女，年十九，未適人。 Zhou Rudi's daughter was nineteen and not yet betrothed.

至正二十年，鄉民作亂，如砥與女避於邑西之客僧嶺，女為賊所執。 In Zhizheng 20, the local people rose in rebellion. Rudi and his daughter fled to Késēng Ridge west of the district, but the girl was captured by bandits.

女曰：「我周典史女也，死即死，豈能從汝耶！」 The girl answered, "I am the daughter of Zhou the district recorder. If I must die, then die I shall. How could I ever follow you!"

如砥時為紹興新昌典史。 Rudi was then serving as district recorder of Xinchang in Shaoxing.
