“My parents both told me not to mention it. My dad said I like to make trouble out of nothing, and my mom said I'm all grown up now, I'm a grown woman, I can find a good husband, why do I have to bring these things up? They didn't do anything, why do I have to cause them headaches and sadness? They were all glaring at me, looking at me with cold eyes. Especially my father, his eyes were clearly full of disgust, as if he hated me. They didn't want to know that their daughter had been hurt, and they had failed as parents. They didn't want anyone to know about my injuries.”
As Jiang Tian spoke, her voice trembled slightly.
Wei Su quickly put the contract aside and hugged her.
He knew that Jiang Tian was going through a period of emotional instability recently, and he also knew that the psychologist was right, that being able to talk about it was the beginning of recovery.
He had to listen carefully to Jiang Tian's story; it was a sign that Jiang Tian was getting better.
Previously, Jiang Tian had kept herself closed off, finding it difficult to speak her mind, let alone express her opinions. At least now she is willing to express herself and tell Wei Su what's on her mind.
Wei Su was her audience, and he felt very honored.
“I can understand your parents, and I can understand you, but I feel more sorry for you. You ask your parents to understand these things, but they can't. They think you're making a mountain out of a molehill. For them, burying it is the best thing to do. A girl's reputation is very important, but I feel so sorry for you. I feel sorry for you having such a family. I feel sorry for your parents, who are unwilling to form an alliance with you even at home.”
Wei Su even felt a bit of hatred.
He says he understands, but how does he understand?
If it were his daughter, he would definitely kill whoever bullied her.
Jiang Tian burst into tears again.
"But I just don't understand why, when we talk about this at home, both my father and mother feel ashamed, they both feel that it shouldn't be mentioned, and that I should bury this scar. Should I suffer this injustice? Should I always be the flawless, chaste daughter in their eyes?"
"Many years have passed, and sometimes I dream that if I had stood firm and resisted back then, my parents would not have stood by me. They would have just said that the children were throwing a tantrum and playing around. They would never have truly defined everything I suffered as illegal behavior or as me being harmed."
“Whenever I bring this up, my father gets very impatient, and my mother says that the man already has two children and we shouldn’t bring it up anymore… Do you understand that feeling? It feels like the whole world is against me. In my heart, my parents are still very good to me. Even though they didn’t buy me a house or a car, they are still very good to me.”
“But at that time, I realized that I really couldn’t stay in the village. Neither my parents nor anyone else would allow a girl to live quietly and cleanly in the village. They would always be malicious. I had to escape, I had to escape as far away as possible, so I went to this university. This university is several kilometers away from my hometown, and I’m so glad. I really don’t want to go back. I’d be willing to stay here for the rest of my life. I’d be willing to pick up trash, I’d be willing to do anything.”
Jiang Tian repeated herself in her speech.
Wei Su knew the psychologist was right; her repetitions indirectly showed that she was slowly regaining her ability to express herself.
She was talking about her feelings, saying what was truly in her heart, so what if she repeated herself?
However, she seemed to be having some kind of stress reaction; her emotions became unstable whenever she thought about her old scar.
Wei Su was well aware of her condition and knew that he had to comfort Jiang Tian.
He kept saying, "Don't worry, now no one will say you're making a mountain out of a molehill, no one will say you're looking for trouble, that you're deliberately making your family suffer, or that you're deliberately causing trouble when you talk about these things. No one will use you as their financial support while hurting you or subjecting you to a series of insults. There really is no one left."
"You don't need to go back to see your parents anymore. I will find someone to take good care of them. You can stay in this city or go abroad, it's fine with you."
"And that other person, don't worry, he will pay the price."
As he uttered those words, a fleeting chill crossed Wei Su's eyes.
In many ways, Wei Su has always played a positive role.
However, accidents happen to so many people in this world.
So many people die every day out of guilt; one more or one less makes no difference.
Since I couldn't control my hands when I was a child, it seems only right that I should atone with my life.
Wei Su is playing the good guy, but he's not a good guy at all.
He had already found that person a long time ago.
He had even designed a complete plan.
Jiang Tian endured decades of suffering and pain; when he sought justice for him, it was as if a messenger of justice had descended.
Upon hearing Wei Su's arrangements, Jiang Tian could no longer hold back her tears.
She suddenly felt an indescribable sadness.
Jiang Tian looked at Wei Su: "Are you really willing to date me? I don't know how this relationship will end, whether I'll be left battered and bruised, but no matter how bitter, difficult, or hurt I am, it won't be like when I was a child, my family won't stand against me, and everyone won't criticize me like that, which hurts me."
“You wouldn’t be impatient with me or say I’m making trouble for no reason when I finally mustered the courage to talk about the hurt I’ve suffered. I really don’t want to live like that anymore. I want to go back to a normal life, get rid of that scar, and live my life properly. I… want to get better.”
After saying this, Jiang Tian burst into tears.
She had used all her strength to shout, but her voice was still very soft.
She is just an ordinary person, but the burden she carries is not just a little.
Her sister, her sister's children, and even the scars from her own childhood have gradually caused her to lose herself and become afraid to pursue the life she wants.
Now, for the first time, Jiang Tian confided in someone and did not receive discrimination, harm, or attacks from her closest relatives.
She met someone who was willing to be considerate of her, care for her, and feel sorry for her.
This person is much younger than her, but he has already surpassed her in many ways.
Jiang Tian took a deep breath and looked at Wei Su: "If it's about dating you, then I'm willing, even if I lose, I'm willing, just for the sake of you being willing to listen to me now, being willing to look at me with loving eyes, even if you really dump me, even if you let me down, I'm willing..."
