Chapter 180: Little Cotton Jacket is so fierce! (4)
The room Xuanxuan lives in now is the one his mother slept in before she got married.
Very small and old.
Xuanxuan found her mother's diary from the gap between the headboard and the wall when she was playing in it.
The naive Xuanxuan couldn't understand the words inside, and once foolishly took it to ask her uncle what was written inside.
After flipping through a few pages, my uncle's face turned pale and he yelled, "This is not something for children to read!" Then he turned around and threw the diary into the trash can.
In the end, Xuanxuan took the diary back when no one was paying attention and put it back where it was, intending to take it out and read it again after she could learn to read.
...Now Shihui took out the red-covered diary.
The small notebook looked a little worn, with the edges curled up.
It was filled with densely packed words.
Xuanxuan's mother's life, from the age of 15 until she got married at the age of 25, a full 10 years, is written in it...
My mother doesn’t write in her diary very often and there is no regular pattern to it.
Sometimes I write several times a week, sometimes only one or two a year.
It all depends on my mood.
Shisui read it carefully and was deeply moved.
Unlike the gentle and smiling image in Xuanxuan's memory, the emotions expressed by her mother in her diary are very heartbreaking...
For example, when I was 17, I wrote:
"I don't understand why my parents insist that I give in to my brother! I'm the one with the best grades and the one who does the housework diligently. But why am I the one who gets scolded in the end?!
My dad got drunk today and told me not to take the college entrance exam and to go out and work to support my younger brother's education!
Although he apologized to me later and said it was just drunken nonsense, I know...he must have thought so in his heart...
So annoying! ! ”
...Her depressed mood has never been relieved.
For example, she wrote during the Spring Festival when she was 25 years old:
"My boyfriend came to my house yesterday to celebrate New Year and proposed marriage. But it ended on a sour note.
My mom asked for 580,000 yuan as a betrothal gift right away, and she said it was to give me some security?!
My boyfriend's family is not rich, and his mother knows it. They definitely can't come up with the 580,000 yuan betrothal gift.
After some "coordination", the price was finally settled at 280,000.
In fact, 280,000 yuan is not enough for their family. They just bought a wedding house with a down payment, have to repay the mortgage regularly, and also have to pay for the wedding banquet... I feel a little blocked in my heart.
Who doesn't know that this is my mother finding all sorts of ways to help my brother get the money to marry a wife?!
But my boyfriend gently comforted me, saying that as long as he could live with me for the rest of his life, everything would be worth it. He also asked me not to argue with my mother about this matter anymore.
He will work hard to earn money in the future.
I am really lucky to have met a man who understands and loves me.
His parents are also very simple and kind old people, and they are very nice to me.
I really want to get married soon!!
It may sound a bit unfilial to say this, but I really want to escape from this house..."
...This diary came to an abrupt end just after Xuanxuan's mother recorded her excitement two days before her wedding.
Tokiho closed the diary.
What she saw was the oppression of her sister struggling to survive in a family that favored boys over girls.
So it is not difficult to understand why Xuanxuan's uncle developed the bad habit of being lazy and gluttonous.
It's all a habit of the older generation.
...At the dinner that night, Shisui took a few bites, put down her chopsticks, and said she was full.
Grandma asked Zhao Ziyin with some concern: "Has my darling granddaughter not eaten well or slept well these past two days? She seems to be lacking energy."
"Heh...your granddaughter is still not spirited? She's become so capable! She's even bullying me!"
Zhao Ziyin seized the opportunity and exaggerated the story of her niece's non-cooperation during the filming of a children's biscuit commercial two days ago.
After hearing this, the grandmother pushed her bowl away and started to teach her: "Haven't I told you many times that children must listen to adults, don't be naughty, don't talk back, and be good, otherwise grandma won't love you anymore."
My uncle also agreed while playing games: "Yes, that's right."
To your sister!!
No one in the whole family cared about the little girl's actual situation.
It is all about "being good", "being obedient", "being liked by others", "not causing trouble"...
After her grandmother helped Balabala preach, Zhao Ziyin felt relieved, so she took out her cell phone and transferred some money to her mother-in-law.
Zhao Ziyin raised her pinky finger and said, "Mom, this is the allowance I give you this month."
"Okay, okay! My dear daughter-in-law, you have worked hard!"
As the announcement of "20,000 yuan has been received on WeChat" rang out, the wrinkles on grandma's face became a flower, and the corners of her mouth cracked to the roots of her ears.
My uncle would only agree: "Yes, yes, yes, my wife has worked hard!"
Where did Zhao Ziyin get her money? It was earned by Xuanxuan through hard work and sweat!
A whole family survives by sucking the blood of a 5-year-old girl, and then accuses her of not being obedient?
Shisui saw clearly what group of people they were.
If a tool can make money, he will be treated like a little princess in the palm of his hand; if he cannot make money, he deserves to be beaten and scolded.
It really disgusted Shisui.
Just wait and see, Shisui will definitely make them return all the money they shouldn’t have taken.
By the way, we have to make them angry!
…
Two days later, the shooting of Merchant A's autumn and winter children's clothing began.
The other party chose a park.
In the height of August, the sun is extremely strong and scorching.
In order to improve the efficiency of the shooting, Zhao Ziyin brought her niece to the scene at 7 o'clock in the morning to do her makeup and hair.
Including Tokiho, there were 2 little girls and 2 little boys, a total of 4 children participating in the filming today.
It was not the first time for everyone to be a child fashion model. They were not at all nervous. They sat down and started to play games on their phones and tablets skillfully, like little adults.
The parents were too lazy to worry about anything, and they just hid under the tree, chatting and exchanging industry information with each other.
Zhao Ziyin is different.
She neither accompanied her niece to put on makeup nor exchanged experiences with her peers. Instead, she pulled the merchants together and talked to the photographers.
The photographer was a middle-aged man with braids and a full beard.
Everyone calls him A Lei.
They all stood behind Shisui, chatting in secret.
The photographer was quite talkative and a social butterfly. He made a few jokes, which made Zhao Ziyin cover her mouth and laugh uncontrollably.
The atmosphere was similar, so Zhao Ziyin took out her cell phone and showed Are the works that Xuanxuan had previously taken.
"Our little girl is really versatile. She can pull off any style of clothing. Look, she's so beautiful."
If it were just an ordinary photo, it would be fine.
But in order to prove her niece's "acting skills", Zhao Ziyin even showed off the photo of Xuan Xuan being heartbroken at her mother's funeral!
The photo was taken shortly after the mother's mourning ceremony ended.
While her father was busy dealing with various relatives, Xuanxuan crawled over the fence and lay alone on the lid of the transparent coffin where the body was placed, silently looking at her peaceful mother.
She didn't cry.
Just two lines of hot tears flowed from her beautiful big eyes, and her little lips pressed against the transparent lid, kissing her mother for the last time.
Such a tragic scene was captured by Zhao Ziyin and is now shared with others like a trophy!
"This is good, this is good. Quite contagious!"
Arei didn't know the background of the photo and thought it was just an artistic photo, so he gave a thumbs up and praised it, and cast an admiring look at Shihui.
