Li Jinfeng expressed deep sympathy for Xia Xiaojie's experience. While she felt sad for her, she was also angry at her for not living up to her expectations.
At the beginning, I insisted on having my own way and refused my family's arrangements.
As a result, she found a scumbag as her partner. Not only was she cheated of her body, but she also gave up the college entrance examination in order to have a child with him.
Now my life is a mess.
The most pitiful ones are the two children. Xiaojie said that she got pregnant in 1977, so now the children are probably just over three years old, less than four years old.
A pair of twins, each thinner than the other, with big heads and small bodies. Li Jinfeng had seen such children more than 20 years ago, and they were all hungry.
Xia Xiaojie was still crying. Li Jinfeng took out a handkerchief from her pocket and handed it to her to wipe her tears.
"Are you planning to keep this a secret from you? Before your eldest brother got married, your mother kept complaining that you were too busy and couldn't even go back for his wedding.
She also said that she only wants you to go back and doesn’t want any pearls or seafood you sent her.”
In order not to worry her mother Miao Hong, Xia Xiaojie would send some pearls and some dried seafood back home every once in a while.
The former is very cheap on the island. Sometimes when cleaning seafood, some pearls will be found. Over time, you can collect quite a few.
The latter, she works at a fishery and the fishery pays her some money every month, so she doesn't want any money.
The only thing you have to spend is the postage.
But if she doesn't spend the money, Xia Xiaojie is worried that her mother will come and find out how she is living.
Xia Xiaojie buried her head in her knees. "What's the harm in telling my mom? I'm already like this. If my mom knew, it would just make one more person sad. I don't want to struggle anymore. Maybe this is God's punishment for my stubbornness back then!"
Li Jinfeng: "Xia Xiaojie, when you say this, have you ever thought about your mother's feelings? And your children?
You could have had a better life, you could have given your children a better life, but look at yourself?"
Li Jinfeng reached out and pulled Xia Xiaojie up, pointing at her hand. "Look at your hand? Is this still a human hand?"
Xia Xiaojie's hands were red, swollen, and purple, and there were signs of suppuration at the wound.
I looked at your face again. "You're only twenty-seven, in the prime of your life, but look at what you've been doing? Cleaning seafood at the fishery. Are you planning to stay entangled with that scumbag forever and let your two children suffer with you?"
Xia Xiaojie looked at her hands, tears welling up in her eyes, "No... I don't want to!"
She has suffered, and she knows what it feels like to suffer.
It's so uncomfortable.
"Xiao Jie, you were wrong back then. It wasn't that you insisted on going to the countryside. Your mistake was that you didn't inform your mother immediately after your friend left. If you had told your mother the truth at that time, from what I know about your mother, not only would she not scold you, she would have been happy, happy that you finally figured it out. She would have helped you at all costs!"
Children always think that if they make mistakes, their parents will blame them and be angry with them.
But you haven't even tried it, why do you think you will be scolded?
Is it because you made a mistake and feel guilty?
Or is it because you think you would do this in your heart, so you think your parents would do the same?
Li Jinfeng is a parent and her children are the apple of her eye. Even if they make mistakes, as long as you sincerely apologize to her and explain the reasons to her, she will forgive them.
Every child makes mistakes and has the right to be forgiven.
After hearing what Li Jinfeng said, Xia Xiaojie threw herself into Li Jinfeng's arms and burst into tears.
