"You can't just stay like this forever. It's not a good idea to stay in this village. Daughter, you've been to college, so it should be easy for you to find a job. Why don't you go to the city and find something to do?"
Ever since Lin Shu blocked her, she has been giving her the minimum amount of money. She can barely use it herself, and still has to bear Lin Jiaojiao's expenses. Lin Jiaojiao spends money lavishly, going to the city all day to buy all kinds of clothes and cosmetics, and she almost lost all her capital.
"Mom, you know I'm not in good health, but you still asked me to find a job. I'm your daughter, how could you do this?"
Qi Baozhu said quickly: "But Lin Shu never wants mom to worry about her."
She felt something was wrong after she said that, and looked up to see Lin Jiaojiao's sarcastic and resentful expression.
"Then go find Lin Shu! Lin Shu is a big boss, and her husband is a professor at North City University. You're such a snob, so she blocked you, you deserve it!"
Qi Baozhu was stunned when she saw Lin Jiaojiao's crazy tone. She suddenly remembered that she had spoken to Lin Shu in the same way.
At that time, was Lin Shu in the same pain as she is now, unable to breathe?
Lin Jiaojiao didn't think she did anything wrong. Qi Baozhu doted on her so much in the past, but now she has become like this just because she stayed at home for a few more hours.
She was obviously the victim.
Later, after several matchmaking attempts, Lin Jiaojiao always belittled the man as being useless. Everyone in the village knew that the eldest daughter of the Lin family had high standards and looked down on people from the village or the small town.
After that, no one wanted to introduce a date to Lin Jiaojiao anymore.
The days passed by in a chaotic manner.
It was not until Lin Yeguo had to be hospitalized frequently due to some old age diseases that Qi Baozhu remembered Lin Shu, but Lin Jiaojiao remembered Lin Shu.
She thought that now Lin Shu would have to pay for her father's medical treatment, and then she would ask Qi Baozhu for more and she could get some.
She has been living a very tight life these years, and Qi Baozhu doesn't dote on her as much as before. She would start scolding her when she saw her lying there, and wouldn't give her a penny.
It was not until the year before last that she came to her senses and wanted to find a man to rely on. However, when she got married, she discovered that her reputation in the village had long been ruined and no one was willing to introduce her to a man.
This time, Lin Shu did not shirk her responsibility, nor did she give any money. She directly hired a nurse to help take care of the child, and also found an aunt in the village who was efficient and had a good reputation to help keep an eye on the child. The money went directly to the aunt, and not a penny was given to Qi Baozhu. The aunt also helped with cooking and housework, and left after cooking, regardless of Lin Jiaojiao's hints about wanting money.
Later, when Qi Baozhu refused to give her the money, Lin Jiaojiao simply broke open the cabinet to take it. She was caught in the act and pushed Qi Baozhu to the ground. The back of her head hit the corner of the table and she soon started bleeding.
When the aunt heard the noise, she hurried out of the kitchen, saw Qi Baozhu lying on the ground, and immediately sent someone to take her to the hospital.
Although his life was saved, he will have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
Lin Shu called the police, and later, Lin Jiaojiao was sentenced to prison for causing injury by negligence.
By the time she came out, her parents had no time to take care of her, and she was alone and could only make a living by picking up garbage.
........
After Lin Jiaojiao was imprisoned.
Qi Baozhu couldn't move in bed and could only rely on the nurse to turn her over and move her body. She stared blankly at the ceiling every day, and her mood became extremely irritable. Unfortunately, no one was willing to talk. Lin Shu occasionally came over, but she just said a few words to Lin Yeguo. She didn't want to look at her and left in a hurry.
She always wondered how she had ended up in such a situation.
Although she only gave birth to two daughters, in this happy village, everyone envied their daughters' success and said that they had a blessed life.
Until - Lin Jiaojiao came back from her divorce, and she was unwilling to go out and wanted me to support her.
The way everyone looked at her was no longer envy, but sympathy. She deserved it. Yes, most people thought that she was partial to Lin Jiaojiao and she deserved the fate she had.
She thought of Lin Shu when she was little, who was obedient and dependent on her. When she saw her coming back from farm work, she hugged her tightly without caring about being covered in mud, and said in a clear and soft voice, "Mom, I miss you so much."
I don’t know when it started, but Lin Shu gradually stopped talking and became taciturn.
Was it because of the abuse year after year, the countless forgotten birthdays, or the comparison between Lin Jiaojiao who had everything and Lin Shu who had nothing, that she finally gave up on herself?
Qi Baozhu could do nothing but keep thinking about her childhood. In a trance, she seemed to have turned into Lin Shu from another world.
In this world, Lin Shu lost her husband and was alone with her child. Her family had run out of food, so she went to Qi Baozhu to borrow some.
It was the first time she saw her own face was so sarcastic. Qi Baozhu, the woman in that world, said disdainfully: "A daughter who is married off is like water spilled out. How can a daughter ask her parents for things? If you can't afford it, then don't live."
She returned home in a daze.
Later, Qi Baozhu woke up from her dream with horror. Looking at the familiar ward, she burst into tears.
Finally, after a long period of loneliness and pain, she finally closed her eyes.
