When Xihe met 009, he was still struggling in hell.
She is not a god, not an immortal, and does not have any noble blood. She is just a girl among the countless people.
Her mother gave birth to her but wanted to strangle her to death. Her so-called father and grandmother wanted to bury her in the wild because of their preference for boys over girls... She stayed in the basin of blood for five or six hours and was only rescued when she was about to die.
She never had a sip of breast milk, and had to rely on charity from people here and there since she was a child.
Buddha said: "There are eight sufferings in life: birth, old age, sickness, death, separation from loved ones, long-lasting resentment, failure to obtain what one desires, and inability to let go."
Of the eight, except for old age, she has all the other seven.
Her parents divorced early, leaving her and her brother alone in their hometown.
Although her brother always bullied her, he was the only one willing to protect her. They lived under someone else's roof and were insulted by their uncle and aunt. Later, they were taken to the north by the so-called mother, but were cruelly abandoned.
At a young age, they learned to read people's expressions and work hard.
They were looked down upon, had little to eat and no clothes to wear, and for a long time, they made a living by picking up scraps... But at that time, they had light in their hearts, and they imagined a better future, such as going to college or opening a restaurant.
Xihe started school at the age of nine and was already fifteen when he was in fourth grade.
She was a good student, and even in a rural area with poor resources, she was still qualified to take the Mathematical Olympiad exam... In the same year, her brother passed away with ascites.
She left her hometown early, and her only memory of her hometown was the ferocious expressions of her uncle and aunt.
In the first semester of the fourth grade, she gave up the opportunity to study and knelt in the yard for a day and a night. Finally, she begged her stepfather to give her travel expenses. So she took the household registration book and took a bus back to her hometown alone.
She didn't think about the future, she just wanted to see her brother for the last time.
She didn't see her brother.
The family thought it was unlucky that my brother died at such a young age, so they cremated him and buried him hastily on the mountain.
The mountain was bare and surrounded by weeds.
Those so-called relatives even deprived her of the right to visit them and locked her up at home. She jumped out of the window, broke one of her legs, and limped to the mountain under the cover of night, hugging the grave and crying.
Her mother called her and cried, saying that her brother had died and she was very sad.
Xihe looked at the sky and felt sick. Her own son was gone, and this woman didn't even know about it. She hung up the phone, rushed into the living room with a knife, overturned the dining table, and knocked over the wine bottles.
How bad is human nature?
This so-called father tricked my brother into going back home by saying he would give him money to study, and ended up sending him to work in a factory... He fell ill and rolled around in pain, but these so-called relatives just watched coldly.
She had been secretly inquiring about the news and learned from others that her brother's illness had been completely delayed.
Once on the street, my brother was in so much pain that he held his stomach and went to the hospital to see his uncle. However, his uncle only gave him a dozen dollars and pushed him out.
Just a dozen dollars, just a dozen dollars!
When Xihe heard this, his eyes turned red and his heart was filled with overwhelming hatred.
For the first time, she regretted not leaving with her brother for the so-called responsibility, because her irresponsible mother gave birth to a son in the north and then ran away.
What could she do? She was desperate too.
The child was only half a year old at the time, and the stepfather was the only man at home. If she left too, who would take care of him?
She was abandoned when she was young. At that time, she told herself that she must never be like her mother. So in order to make up for the mistakes her mother made, she stayed.
But the result is... my brother is gone.
Xihe dragged her legs and smashed the living room. She hated them and hated herself even more.
She worked and studied at the same time and was admitted to high school, but the mother and father came to harass her again, asking her for money and threatening to make trouble at school if she didn't give it... She was put in a sack and moved into a room.
There stood a man with an ugly and disgusting face in the room, stretching out his claws towards her.
Xihe was malnourished since childhood and was not tall. She couldn't beat the man, so she bit off his ear. She was slapped hard in the face and her head was buzzing.
She looked at the man with a fierce look: "If you can't kill me, I will definitely kill you!"
The man's face turned red with anger, but he was frightened by her cruelty. He kicked her hard and left quickly. Xihe quickly closed the door, sat in the house all night, and reported her father to the police station the next day.
The son sued his father, and Xihe's reputation was completely ruined.
But what is reputation? Xihe never cares.
She went to school well, but maybe God just didn't like her. There were always people who wanted to bully her for no apparent reason, either accusing her of stealing money or deliberately targeting her. Especially when the senior students in the third year of high school always took care of her, things got even worse.
This world always bullies honest people, so Xihe doesn't want to be an honest person.
When someone accused her of stealing money, she called the police without saying a word. When someone deliberately targeted her, she would be alert and avoid him. If she couldn't avoid him, he would hit her. She was never afraid, except for her senior... Xihe admitted that she was moved at that time.
I met my senior before I left my hometown, and I still remember her after I came back.
He is warm and kind, has a heartwarming smile, and even gives her lectures. Xihe has never been treated like this before, so how could she not be moved?
She accepted the senior's pursuit, but within two days, the senior was warned.
Xihe: “…”
She sighed and said goodbye.
She avoided her senior and left quickly when they met. The senior was under pressure from the college entrance examination and had to give up.
This was the first time Xihe gave up on someone. She forced herself to study. She still had a grudge to take. She promised her brother that she would get into college, and she would keep her word.
Xihe studied while working hard to earn money.
She turned herself into a silent shadow, trying not to clash with others. She endured her mother's bad behavior that ruined her reputation, and endured the pointing and criticizing of her classmates, and she persisted until the college entrance examination.
"Tsk tsk tsk, she's pretty good-looking, why don't we just..."
"Don't mess around. That person just said that she shouldn't take the college entrance exam. He didn't say anything else. Let's go."
The two male voices faded away. Xihe struggled to look over and could only vaguely see two silhouettes... It was dark all around. She got up and walked towards the school.
She can't fall down, she has to take the college entrance examination!
During the two-day exam, Xihe managed to hold on until the next morning, but then he could no longer hold on and collapsed in the examination room.
One of her legs was twisted and her body was covered with scars. The place was relatively hidden and the police couldn't find her, so the case was left unresolved. However, Xihe knew who it was. She knew who did it.
This time, the wound was more serious and her leg was left with a root of disease.
Xihe did not choose to repeat the year, but went to school with the college admission letter. She said goodbye to everything and waited for the right time to come back and settle the accounts.
