Late at night, Zhou Bingchen had not returned yet.
I know my days are numbered.
He glanced at the two children sleeping in the room and walked out the door, striding forward resolutely into the night.
At the foot of Lingyuan Mountain, I looked up at the majestic mountains.
In front of it, humans are as small as ants.
I put my hands together, bowed my head as I walked up the stone steps, and made a sincere wish to God.
I, the believer Qiao Chu, wish to turn into dust and raindrops in the world, and repeat myself in the red mortal world over and over again. I only hope that God will have mercy on me and protect my two young children so that they can grow up safely and without any disasters.
Tears fell drop by drop on the stone steps.
God has given me a chance to say goodbye to my family, how can I expect too much?
My heart aches when I think about my children who will lose their mother's protection and the difficulties and obstacles they will face in their long life journey.
When I held Ji Nannan in my arms and coaxed her to sleep at night, I asked her if she wanted to stay with her grandparents, but I wouldn't force her.
After all, I will soon disappear from this world.
The reason why the custody of Ji Nannan was added to the divorce agreement was that she didn't want her future life to be affected by Qiao Zhixian.
I originally thought that if the child didn't want to follow me, she would understand.
But it wasn't until last night that I knew what the child had experienced since he was a child.
On the surface, their family loves Ji Nannan very much, and Qiao Zhixian's online account is full of posts about everything about Nannan's life. As a result, she has become an Internet celebrity with hundreds of thousands of fans.
But in private, she and the old couple of the Qiao family abused her both mentally and physically for more than six years.
Yes, ever since Ji Nannan was just one month old, they have trained her in an inhumane way to become a money-making tool.
Whenever Nan Nan drank milk, Qiao Zhixian would poke an inconspicuous place on her body with a needle under the camera, just to create the illusion that the child was not interested in milk, arouse the empathy of mothers and netizens about the difficulty of raising children, and gain traffic.
In order to shoot videos, I would use toys such as rattles to lure her into doing the actions she expected, and then reward her with candy for licking them.
If the video did not meet the standards, she would punish her by not allowing her to drink milk for the whole day and instead prick her with a needle.
Over time, my Nan Nan started to cry in fear whenever he touched the bottle.
Chronic malnutrition during infancy.
What was I doing at that time?
I was heartbroken as I took Ji Xing, who was born with a congenital defect, to seek medical treatment everywhere.
At that time, I didn’t understand why my child, who was born at full term, had such a weak constitution?
Little did I know that my own flesh and blood would suffer torture at the hands of the devil.
Later, I was kidnapped and taken to northern Myanmar, and she followed Qiao Zhixian back to Ji Linting.
But even when he grew up, Nan Nan still had nightmares every time he followed Qiao Zhixian back to his grandparents' house.
She also used needles to force and punish her, forcing her to do various actions that only adults would do at a young age to gain traffic. It was common for her to go without food for the whole day.
Although Ji Linting, who often works overtime, loves his daughter, he just thinks that the child is allergic to milk like him and that the child likes to take videos.
Little did he know that his child's liver was being slowly eroded by the various candies given as rewards by Qiao Zhixian, and that he would eventually need a liver transplant to survive at such a young age.
Not only that, the little girl even suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder and often had nightmares at night.
The two old people in the Qiao family knew all these things, but they tacitly allowed Qiao Zhixian to make money with the help of this woman.
After hearing all this from Nan Nan, I almost couldn't stand up from the bed.
I hate myself for not being a good mother and for not being able to protect my two children.
The time to leave is approaching, and I wish I could tear the flesh and blood of those demons into pieces with my own hands and swallow them bite by bite.
But I am also glad that my liver yin accidentally saved my poor child's life.
I can't change the past.
But I am willing to give up everything I have to keep the children away from those scums, away from suffering, and let them grow up safely!
And I will drag those scum into hell on earth!
I knelt down again in front of the stone statue of the god on the top of the mountain, and my vision was blurry.
When the morning light fell on me, I raised my hands to cover my eyes subconsciously, but I saw my arms gradually becoming transparent.
I looked up at the gods, put my hands together again, and knocked my head hard on the stone slab.
The last tear of blood fell from his eyes.
Time seemed to stand still, carrying my hatred deeply into this land, taking root and spreading endlessly.
I clenched my palms tightly, closed my eyes and prayed.
Just one day, one day is enough!
When I came down the mountain again, it was already daybreak.
The warm sunlight enveloped me, leading me step by step towards this farewell slaughter...
＊
When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I received good news from Lawyer Zhang.
He said Ji Linting agreed to sign the divorce agreement and asked me to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau.
I am not surprised by this result.
Last night at midnight, I sent Ji Linting the recording of Nan Nan telling me about what had happened to her over the years.
In the recording, I asked Nan Nan why she didn't tell her father about these things?
The little girl blinked her big wet eyes, and even her voice was timid and trembling.
She said that she was afraid that her father would divorce her mother because of this, and she didn't want her father to take time off to take care of the family, which would delay her father's time to treat illnesses and save lives.
I think there is no parent who would not shed tears after hearing such sensible words from their child.
What's more, Ji Linting loves his daughter so much.
When he learned all this, he would definitely feel the pain deeply and his heart would twitch and break in pain.
Guilt and regret will crawl all over his body, gnawing at his soul like insects and ants.
