Chapter 109 The Most Unlucky Protagonist
Perhaps people of this generation, although they talk about heresy about ghosts and gods, don’t think much about it.
So although the aunt felt that Zhao Yuanyuan's personality had changed a lot recently, she didn't really think that she had become a different person. She just whispered to her mother-in-law about her daughter's rebelliousness in recent days, and finally said hesitantly that if both children in the family were in school, she and her husband would definitely earn work points to send her youngest brother's two children to school in the future.
Xingxing listened quietly, as if the "two children" mentioned by the other party had nothing to do with her.
"They say a child's future can be seen at the age of three. In my opinion, it's time to educate your two children properly."
The old man lowered his head to pick up beans, and said slowly and steadily, "The older one has no interest in studying and even lies to his family. If he is not taught well, he will grow up to be a useless piece of mud."
"As for this little one, he is outstanding in everything. He used to be quite obedient and sensible, but now it seems that he is not a shrewd person."
After He Guizhi finished speaking, she looked up at her eldest daughter-in-law. Seeing that she looked gloomy, she shook her head and said, "Don't look so sad. They are all your children. You and the eldest are their parents. It is your job to raise them. They are still young now. Whether they will grow up straight or crooked in the future depends entirely on how you two teach them."
"As for your youngest brother's two children going to school, it's still early. It won't cause you any pressure at the moment, so don't think too much about it."
"Although we are a family, there are still differences in closeness and distance. They have their own parents to worry about. You and the eldest brother should focus on your own children."
Liu Cuifen moved her lips and nodded in response after a long while.
But when Xingxing heard her, she felt confused.
She was illiterate, and after listening to her mother-in-law's words, she felt that what she said made sense, but she was at a loss as to where to start.
Doesn’t she care enough about her two children?
From daily food, clothing, housing, transportation to caring about the child's well-being, which aspect doesn't she, as a mother, take care of?
But it seemed that was all she could do.
Her husband knew a little about academic matters. Her mother-in-law had sent her and her brother to school. Even her sister-in-law, who married into the city, only finished junior high school.
But Zhao Guodong worked hard from morning to night to earn work points to support his family. When he came home at night, he was already exhausted and almost fell asleep as soon as he lay down.
How can he find the time to take care of his two children's studies?
Besides, isn’t teaching and educating the students the job of school teachers?
The family sent their child to school, but the teacher did not teach him well. Now the parents are asked to continue teaching him. What is the role of the teacher then?
And what happened today? Huayang simply forgot to do his homework, just this once, so the teacher asked the child to make up for it in school. But the teacher even went to the parents to complain... and the child was beaten up when he got home.
Mothers all love their children. The old saying is right: When a child is beaten, the mother feels the pain.
Liu Cuifen felt extremely distressed. She did not dare to blame her husband and mother-in-law. She did feel a little resentful towards her youngest brother, but did not dare to show it.
So more resentment was directed towards Zhao Huayang's teacher.
And all of it was hatred that she thought was justified. She didn't think there was anything wrong with her thinking. She had even started thinking about reporting it to the school when she sent her daughter to school and not letting that teacher teach her child anymore.
She had too many messy thoughts and Xingxing was not interested in listening to the whole thing. After picking up all the beans in the winnowing basket, Xingxing sat under the eaves with her sister, watching the adults carrying hoes and going to the fields under the scorching sun.
The afternoon sun is the hottest and most intense, and can easily cause sunburn and peeling of the skin, so any caring parent will not let their children go out with the sun.
I am afraid of heatstroke and also afraid that the children’s tender skin will be sunburned.
So before leaving, I specifically told these naughty kids at home to wait until the sun sets, around five or six in the afternoon, before going out.
None of the Zhao family's children ran outside.
Zhao Huayang was doing his homework on a small stool under the eaves. Xingxing was sitting on another small stool, watching his third sister clumsily sewing a schoolbag for herself under the eaves with a needle. Little Moon was also joining in the fun.
"Third sister, is school going well?" Little Moon asked her question to someone else again.
She really is a person who doesn't hold grudges at all, and it seems that she has forgotten the shock she felt today from being frightened by her third sister.
Zhao Yuanyuan held the needle and looked at Xiaoyue's innocent and curious look, then lowered her head again and said calmly, "No, don't learn it."
The third sister lied to the child.
Little Moon puffed up her cheeks and ran towards her brother with her butt twisted.
"It must be great!" She whispered with great longing: "Brother, we want to go to school too! I can take off the crotch of my pants and let mom sew them into small schoolbags for us, and we can go to school too!"
The children who heard this said: "..."
Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't help rolling her eyes and refused to admit that she was jealous of Xiaoyue's innocence.
Zhao Huayang held a pencil and wrote crooked words on the notebook. Hearing this, he glanced at his brother and sister's mended pants and said worriedly, "You are not allowed to wet your pants. My mother has to wash a lot of clothes every day. If you wet your pants, don't let her wash them!"
Little Moon nodded obediently, not understanding anything.
Xingxing obediently said that she would wash her pants by herself and also wash them for her sister.
"That's good."
As the eldest among the younger generation, Zhao Huayang was taught by his family to take care of his younger siblings. After he finished speaking, although he was relieved about his mother, he was still worried about the little one Xingxing, and could not help but remind him: "Although you are stupid, you must listen to your brother. If you listen, you can put your pants there when you wet them in the future. I will help you wash them when I get home from school in the afternoon. I am stronger than you and can wash them more cleanly."
As soon as these words were spoken, before Xingxing and Little Moon could even say thank you to their brother, Zhao Yuanyuan couldn't help but roll her eyes again.
She had been treated differently for a long time and had long believed that her father's family were blood-sucking bugs. At this moment, Zhao Huayang's words immediately hit the anger in her heart.
There was no one in the room at the moment, and she wasn't afraid of the kids, so she glared at her brother and said in a sarcastic tone, "Whose brother are you anyway? It's fine that mom and dad work like slaves for them, but do you want to be their servant too?"
"...What is a servant?" Zhao Huayang asked his sister blankly.
Zhao Yuanyuan: “…”
The breath was stuck in my throat, unable to go up or down, and I almost choked to death.
She angrily threw down the sewing bag in her hand and loudly accused: "Zhao Huayang, can you use your brain? I am your biological sister, why are you so nice to them? Isn't our family dragged down enough by them?"
She began to list the things she had observed during this period of time. "Our dad dropped out of school after just one elementary school, but my second aunt's daughter actually finished junior high school, and my youngest dad even finished high school! As a result, he studied so much, but when he graduated, he couldn't lift anything with his hands or shoulders. All the housework was done by my dad, and at least half of the work points were earned by my dad. He brought his family to suck blood and eat for free. Don't you know that our grandma's heart is so biased?"
"And there's Miss Ma! She said she's not in good health, but I think she's just pretending. Who doesn't give birth to children? Didn't my mom give birth to you and me? How come my mom can go to the fields to work, doing this and that every day, but Miss Ma can't? She's just like Miss Dad, finding excuses to be lazy, and then throwing all the burdens on our family!"
“And these two!!!” She suddenly pointed at the star sitting quietly on the side and the little moon hiding beside her brother with a dazed and timid look in her eyes. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if she wanted to pour out all the grievances she had suffered in two lifetimes. She said hatefully, “They are the treasures of this family. You and I are just servants who serve them. We hide all the good and expensive milk for them to eat. They are grandchildren too. Why should we give up what we deserve to support them?!”
Why should I be partial to others and never to myself in every life?
Why is it that, as we are all born as human beings, all the things that I cannot get are rushing towards them?
Fate is unfair, family members are partial to me, I thought that in another world, the outcome would be different...
Why? If you didn't love me, why did you give birth to me in the first place? If you gave birth to me, why do you keep abandoning me like a worn out shoe?
Zhao Yuanyuan was shaking with hatred and crying heart-wrenchingly.
She couldn't stand it! She couldn't stand seeing her family members living better than herself.
But she couldn't get it, so she could only complain feebly and angrily. She could only vent her anger through tears. She didn't even dare to show her resentment and hatred in front of adults.
Zhao Huayang was so frightened by his sister's sudden emotional breakdown that he dropped his pencil.
He listened to his sister's complaints and looked at her tearful face. He finally felt a little helpless. He wanted to comfort her but didn't dare to go forward. He hesitated. When his sister calmed down a little, his mind suddenly jumped and he whispered in defense: "But... my own sister also took away my chance to go to school..."
He is not a fool.
He has not so quickly forgotten what his sister said when she knelt on the ground and firmly begged grandma to let her go to school at noon, as well as his parents' anger and his own panic.
Now hearing his sister say "I am your biological sister", Zhao Huayang's anger that had been suppressed for the whole afternoon was aroused. He looked at his sister who was stunned by what he said, took a long breath, and restrained his anger. The little boy actually acted a little like a brother, asking word by word: "Yuanyuan, I am also your biological brother. You want to go to school in my place. Are you sucking my blood like you said?"
Zhao Yuanyuan fell silent with tears in her eyes.
Perhaps it was not silence, but that he was shocked by Zhao Huayang's sudden question and was speechless.
Xingxing protected her sister, listened to Zhao Yuanyuan's accusations, and watched the farce in front of her. In her heart, she whispered to Qiuqiu blankly: "I don't think she looks like the protagonist."
Because Xingxing felt that the protagonist seemed a little... unlucky.
Qiuqiu couldn't help but light a candle for the protagonist, "Yes, she is the most unlucky protagonist we have ever seen."
Why is it that every time I say bad things about people behind their backs or when I’m about to do something bad, I get caught?
Just like now, the people who heard the passionate speech just now were not just the three kids here. If the protagonist glanced back, he could have caught a glimpse of the corner of clothes behind the wall.
The old man didn't know why he came back, but he happened to encounter the whole cause and effect.
I don’t know if the protagonist in the original story was also so unlucky, but it shouldn’t be… Then is it possible that the wings of the little butterfly Xingxing are so strong now? ?
Qiuqiu didn’t understand, so he lit another row of candles for the protagonist.
This was the first time it had lit candles for one person multiple times in a row on the same day.
Maybe when people are unlucky, even drinking cold water will get stuck in their teeth.
Now seeing that the protagonist is such a unlucky little guy, Qiuqiu was surprised to find that even when he heard the protagonist saying bad things about Xingxing and his sister, saying that they were little blood-sucking worms, he was not as angry as he had imagined.
After all, when it thought about the protagonist making a passionate speech here, and the person who was the biggest and most powerful person in the family happened to listen to the whole thing...it even felt that the protagonist was a bit pitiful.
As for the stars, he heard a lot and saw a lot.
He heard the protagonist's grievances and crying, and also heard the protagonist's inner disapproval and self-righteousness towards his brother.
He saw that there was a twisted soul trapped in the young body.
