Don't want to be thrown away...

These words were like needles piercing Dazai's heart.

The reason for this is closely related to Dazi’s original family.

The story can be traced back to the generation of Li Fengbei's father.

The Li family was originally a poor family, so they sent their sixteen-year-old child to join the army.

It was also because of this that the Li family received a subsidy from the army, and the family had some money and was finally able to afford the bride price.

Li's father and mother found a wife, Liu Mei'e, for their eldest son Li Fengnan.

But the good times didn't last for many years. Li's father fell seriously ill and the family spent all their money on medicine for his treatment. They also owed a lot of debts to relatives and neighbors.

In the end...

Li's father died without receiving treatment.

Before he died, he didn't even see Li Fengbei for the last time.

Even the news of his death was not sent to Li Fengbei until a year later.

As a farmer's family, without an adult man who can do heavy physical work, the Li family's life became more and more difficult.

During those years, the biggest source of income for the Li family was the allowance Li Fengbei sent from the army.

At that time, Li Fengbei's position was not as high as it is now. He was just a private.

His allowance is not much.

Later, when Liu Mei'e became pregnant, she gave birth to two big fat boys in one pregnancy.

For other families, it may be a great joy.

But for the poor Li family, having two more hungry mouths waiting to be fed every day was like the sky falling.

The burden of life suddenly fell on Li Fengnan.

In order to support his family, Li Fengnan not only had to work in the fields, but also had to find ways to make money.

I'm just a peasant. Apart from doing dirty and tiring physical work, how else can I make money?

This went on for three years.

Liu Mei'e was pregnant for the second time, and her three cubs were born with loud cries.

Li Fengnan gritted his teeth and worked desperately.

But when Sanzai was one year old, Li Fengnan died.

A middle-aged man in his thirties.

He died of overwork.

The pillar of the Li family has completely collapsed.

Life is even more unbearable, and I can only barely make ends meet every day.

The two remaining women in the family took care of the three children with great difficulty.

During those hard years, Sanzai was just a baby in swaddling clothes, with no memory at all. He could only have a runny nose and cry for milk.

The second child is careless and forgetful, and it seems that he didn't take it to heart.

But the big one is different...

When in Li Fengnan, Liu Mei'e and Li's mother had to go to the fields to work, so she left all the housework to the eldest son, and asked him to take care of his two younger brothers.

The eldest child at that time was only three or four years old.

A little kid of three or four years old, carrying one on his back and holding another in his hand.

You have to walk several miles along the mountain road to fetch water and collect firewood.

In the middle of winter, you have to go to the river to wash clothes.

If it's just a little bit hard, the family can still get through it by staying together.

But Liu Mei'e is not a good-tempered person.

When Li Fengnan was still alive, Liu Mei'e was a shrew.

Now that Li Fengnan is gone, life is hard and her temper is getting worse and worse.

Whenever the older child did something wrong, she would beat and scold the younger one.

Even when the third child cries, they blame the eldest child for not knowing how to comfort the child.

"I went through so much trouble to give birth to you, what's the point of having you as a child? You can't even do such a simple thing! I might as well give birth to a pig!"

"You only know how to get into trouble all day long! Don't you think I'm tired enough? Do you want me to die of exhaustion too?"

"You're just a fatherless child anyway, and I don't want you anymore! I might as well just throw you away so I can have some peace and quiet."

Liu Mei'e shouts similar words every day.

The little big cub remembered it all in his heart.

Later.

Liu Mei'e did not abandon her eldest child. Instead, she could not bear the hardship, so she left the child behind and ran away secretly.

Not even a single word was left, and there was no news at all.

At that time, there was still a whole month before Li Fengbei returned home.

That month was also the most difficult time for the Li family's one old man and three children.

Li's mother also became ill due to overwork and was unable to go out to work in the fields. The whole family could only dig some potatoes to fill their stomachs.

She could bear it, but the three little cubs needed nutrition for growth, so how could she bear it?

Li's mother had no choice but to think of sending the child to foster care.

It is better to be adopted by someone else's family than to starve to death in your own home.

There are actually people who come to pick children.

The first ones to be noticed are the older ones who are well-behaved, sensible and capable of working.

Even if you don't raise him as your son, it's still worthwhile to buy him back as a farmhand.

Dazai didn't know what foster care was. In his little consciousness, he just felt that Li's mother was going to abandon him.

"Grandma, don't abandon me, don't! I can work, I can! I can wash clothes, chop wood, and even make a fire and cook by myself! Grandma, I will be obedient, don't abandon me..."

That day, the eldest child cried loudly, tears streaming down his face.

When the eldest cub started crying, the second and third cubs followed suit.

The miserable Li family was in tears.

Mother Li could only hold her three little cubs and wipe away her tears.

Fortunately, before the eldest child was sent away, Li Fengbei finally returned home, ending the Li family's miserable life.
