Zhang Duo tossed and turned all night and couldn't sleep. She waited and waited but her parents didn't come back. Instead, the town police arrived.
The police came to Zhang Duo's home twice in a row. Except for Zhang Duo who was half blind and couldn't do anything, all the other healthy people were taken into custody.
The entire Yejia Village was in an uproar, everyone was whispering to each other, and no one cared about Zhang Duo's feelings.
"What's going on at Ye Daqiang's house? It's Chinese New Year, why are they all in?"
"Could this be a curse? Or is there a jinx in this family?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Duo. Ever since she lost one eye, all kinds of misfortunes have happened in their family.
I heard that Zhang Duo has been eyeing her sister Ye Jin's cornea, and the news coming back from Zhangjia Village is that Ye Jin is living a very comfortable life now, with a group of younger brothers around her to order around.
They have a group of people helping them with yard repairs, house construction, and cement work, and I heard they don't even have to be paid.
Some people who knew the situation thought of a deeper issue. Ye Jin was doing very well now, but Zhang Duo was so blind that she insisted that she was weak and could be bullied, and she was determined to take advantage of her cornea.
Even a clay man can still have some temper. Although Ye Jin is honest, he is not the kind of person who can be manipulated by others and does not know how to resist.
It must be because Zhang Duo angered Ye Jin that she suffered retribution.
There is retribution in the world, and no one can escape it.
The tragic fate of Zhang Duo's family now is because they wanted something they shouldn't have. In the final analysis, they deserve it.
After thinking this through, some people stopped wanting to watch the fun.
However, there were also some people who couldn't keep their words to themselves and immediately started to lead the crowd.
"You guys only see the surface. In fact, the reason why Ye Daqiang is so miserable is because he married an ignorant woman."
"What are you talking about? Although Wang Fengqin is a bit harsh, she manages the household well."
There are still some people who don't understand, while those who see through everything smile, shake their heads and sigh.
"Even after all this, you still don't understand. Ye Daqiang's previous wife was so nice, and their life was so comfortable. Ever since he married Wang Fengqin, not only has he had to raise someone else's children, but these two unlucky women have also caused him so much trouble."
Everyone's attention shifted to Zhang Duo again. Zhang Duo gritted her teeth and dared not say a word. When she heard others say that she was unlucky, the veins on her forehead twitched, and it looked like she was about to collapse.
"How can they be called unlucky? I think they are just a pair of debt collectors. Ye Daqiang owed them something in his previous life, so he worked like a slave to support them when he was young, and now he has to be sent to the public security bureau when he is old!"
"Isn't this the height of bad luck that I married such a jinx?"
Zhang Duo was so angry that her teeth were itching. She knew she was outnumbered, but she couldn't help but retort.
"Don't talk about my mom!" Everyone looked up to Zhang Duo when she said this, but her next words slapped them in the face, "And don't talk about me! I'm not a jinx, and I'm not a debt collector. I just had bad luck and lost an eye!"
"I'm so young and I'm blind in one eye. What's wrong with me not wanting to become blind? I still have a bright future ahead of me. What does Ye Jin have? Why would someone who has nothing compete with me?"
The more Zhang Duo spoke, the more she felt that she was right. Her voice became louder and louder, until she completely drowned out the voices of others.
Zhang Duo looked at everyone with disdainful eyes, her chin raised higher and higher. The self-confidence that had been trampled underfoot because of her family's misfortunes was finally restored.
"You're not wrong? Why are you not wrong? Who do you think you are? Does Ye Jin have the obligation to give you his eyes?"
A pile of pig shit hit Zhang Duo squarely in the face. The stench hit her so badly that her stomach churned and she almost vomited.
Zhang Duo forced herself to hold it back. She raised her head and cursed viciously, her blind eye slightly narrowed, and she looked quite ferocious indeed.
"Who is it? Who threw the pig shit? Stand up!"
Zhang Duo mustered up her courage. Her body was shaking and trembling violently. She was completely angry.
No one responded to her, but just threw another pile of black dog shit at her.
Zhang Duo dodged it quickly this time, but this time the dog shit he threw was not just one lump, but lump after lump.
Zhang Duo could dodge it once, but she couldn't dodge it the second or third time. Everyone had been displeased with her for a long time. Once someone started this, more and more people kept throwing things forward.
In a moment, pig manure, dog feces, rotten vegetable leaves, and rotten eggs were flying everywhere.
At first, Zhang Duo held her head high and only protected her face.
Later, she couldn't bear it anymore and burst into tears. Her legs became weak and she couldn't even stand.
"Who taught you to be so selfish? Someone like you who only thinks about yourself deserves to become a blind man!"
"If you don't want to go blind, go ask for someone else's cornea. Why is your face so big?"
"Such a good girl like Ye Jin was almost harmed by your family. We were deceived by you before, and now we think Ye Jin is a bad girl. You are so cruel!"
A group of aunts pointed at Zhang Duo's nose and scolded her. Zhang Duo squatted on the ground with her face buried between her legs. She cried so hard that she almost died.
The noise, abuse and accusations around her seemed so close yet so far away to her.
These voices are familiar yet unfamiliar. They used to be her uncle and aunt who stood beside her and praised her. Why did they become like this now?
In the chaos, someone kicked Zhang Duo on the head. Zhang Duo felt a sharp pain in his head and fell down limply.
Everyone was stunned. Realizing that they might be in trouble, they all dispersed.
The yard was quiet and smelly. A cold wind blew past, and Zhang Duo fell to the ground, covered in dirt.
It was unknown how much time had passed before Zhang Duo opened his eyes from the pain.
Her eyes were covered with a layer of feces, which over time formed into hard scabs, blocking her vision and making her unable to see anything.
She could only hold back her nausea and rub off the pile of pig manure. She tried several times to get up from the ground, but her legs went weak and she fell to the ground again.
Zhang Duo cried loudly in grievance. She used all her strength and crawled desperately into the house.
"Why? Why did it turn out like this? I just want to see the light again. What did I do wrong? Why do they treat me like this?"
Zhang Duo cried and cursed. The more she thought about it, the sadder she became. She almost fainted from the collapse.
There were heavy footsteps at the door. Zhang Duo stopped crying out of fright. She turned around slowly and saw a pair of shiny leather shoes in front of her.
A cold male voice sounded: "Do you know why you ended up like this?"
