When Qiu Jinyu heard that Li Shuping had joined the garment factory, her face was filled with envy.
Back then, her family was classified as small owners, so even if they knew how to use a sewing machine, a good job like this would only be theirs.
"Are you still working in the garment factory?" Qiu Jinyu asked.
Li Shuping shook her head. "No, the job was transferred to my children at home."
Qiu Jinyu nodded and said, "It's like this now. There's more work for the children, so parents transfer their work to their children in advance."
Li Shuping didn't really want to talk about these things, so she changed the subject, "By the way, where did you move to back then?"
Qiu Jinyu sighed and said, "When the house burned down, all the money in the family was burned up. Jin and Jinbao were shocked and became even crazier. My parents let me get married in the city hastily and took Jinbao back to the countryside."
Hearing Qiu Jinyu mention Jinbao, Li Shuping couldn't help but let the hairs on her body stand up.
"A few years after I arrived in the village, Jinbao fell into the river and drowned. Two years ago, my father also passed away, leaving only my mother. I brought her from the village to the city."
"Shuping, can I ask you a favor?" Qiu Jinyu looked at Li Shuping and asked.
Li Shuping: "Sister Jin Yu, you say."
Qiu Jinyu said with difficulty: "My mom, my mom is sick. The doctor said there is no cure. She will live for a few days. She is a little confused, but she always mentions you. She cries and says she is sorry for you and wants to see you before she dies."
"We can meet again now. I think this is also arranged by Grandpa Mingming, so you can go to see her and let her family leave in peace."
Her mother was a kind person who only did one wrong thing in her life, but she felt guilty for the rest of her life, and attributed all her misfortunes in the rest of her life to the retribution for doing something wrong.
Li Shuping: “…”
Seeing her talking, Qiu Jinyu said, "Shu Ping, just think of it as a plea from your elder sister, just because she treated you well in front of her."
"Which hospital is Aunt Jin in?" Li Shuping asked.
Qiu Jinyu: "Ward 403, Second Hospital."
"I'll think about it."
"Okay, you take your time to think about it. If you can go and see my mom, it would be best. If you want to go, I won't blame you."
…
Ever since breaking up with Qiu Jinyu, Li Shuping has been a little absent-minded.
I cooked the wrong dumplings several times in the evening.
At half past ten in the evening, Li Shuping lay on the bed with her eyes open, still thinking about what Qiu Jinyu had said in the morning.
"Mom, can I sleep with you tonight?"
The voice of my daughter Lin Xiaoyu was heard outside the door.
"Come in." said Li Shuping.
Lin Xiaoyu went to bed holding the pillow.
Li Shuping: "Why do you dare to sleep alone tonight?"
There was no thunder tonight and the moon was bright.
Lin Xiaoyu leaned over and hugged her arm and said, "Mom, I see you're feeling depressed today, so I wanted to come and keep you company."
"Mom, Aunt Qin said you went out this morning. Did anything happen when you went out?"
Seeing her daughter's concerned gaze, Li Shuping shook her head.
"It's nothing, I just ran into a story I haven't seen in many years, and I'm a little confused."
"Isn't it a happy thing to meet old friends? Why are you so conflicted?" Lin Xiaoyu understood very well.
Li Shuping sighed and said, "Because I know I should go meet another story that helped me but also hurt me."
"Mom, can you tell me about this past event?" Lin Xiaoyu asked.
She wanted to know about her mother's past, and also wanted to know why the person who had helped her mother would hurt her?
Li Shuping: "Do you want to know?"
"Yeah." Lin Xiaoyu nodded.
Li Shuping was silent for a moment, then slowly opened her mouth.
When she was ten years old, Li Shuping was taken in by a kind-hearted couple who owned a tailor shop and asked her to help out in the shop.
The Qiu family has a daughter, Qiu Jinyu, who is three years older than her, and a son, Qiu Jinbao, who is one year older than her.
The couple treated her very well, gave her clothes to wear, food to eat, a room to live in, and taught her the craft of tailoring.
Qiu Jinyu was also very kind to her, treating her like her own sister and willing to share any good things with her.
Aunt Jin was also very kind to her, so Li Shuping once treated her as her own mother.
Except for the idiot from the Qiu family, who always liked to beat her, life in the Qiu family was really good.
Li Shuping was also particularly grateful to the Qiu couple, who worked hard and, in addition to helping make clothes in the shop, also took care of all the housework.
The neighbors all said at that time that the Qiu family took her in just to make her a child bride for the Qiu family's fool, Jinbao.
But she didn't believe it and even quarreled with him, saying that the Qiu family took her in just out of kindness and pity.
But when she was about sixteen years old, Aunt Jin called her into the room alone and asked her if she was willing to be Jinbao's daughter-in-law?
She was completely confused at the time, and seeing that she seemed too willing, Aunt Jin even persuaded her, saying that as long as she married Jinbao and gave him a child, she would have the final say in the family in the future.
She even used the kindness to blackmail her, saying that the Qiu family had taken her in for so many years and taught her a craft, so she should be grateful and repay the favor, and not be ungrateful.
She is young and naive, does she really know what to do?
She wanted to marry a fool, but she couldn't appreciate the kindness of Gu Qiu's family to her.
After thinking it over carefully, she said she was willing and promised that she would forget the Qiu family's kindness and work hard to make money to repay them.
But the usually kind Aunt Jin suddenly changed her face and scolded her for being an ungrateful ungrateful person without conscience, a beggar abandoned by her parents, who had the nerve to despise her Jin Bao. If she had been with the Qiu family, she would have starved to death on the streets.
The taciturn Uncle Qiu tied her up with a rope, stuffed a cloth into her mouth, and locked her in the house.
Because they thought that she would run away if she refused, so they tied her up and locked her up, and also forced Qiu Jinbao to have sex with her.
Li Shuping still remembers Aunt Jin standing in front of the window and said coldly, "A Ping, our Qiu family has raised you for so many years, and it's time for you to repay the Qiu family. When you get pregnant with Jin Bao's child, Aunt Jin will let you come, and then we will be a warm and loving family."
She cried and struggled desperately on the kang, begging Aunt Jin to let her go.
But she closed the window heartlessly. When the window was closed, her world collapsed.
Not long after, Uncle Qiu let in Qiu Jinbao, who had been given medicine.
Now recalling how Qiu Jinbao walked towards her with red eyes, Li Shuping felt horrified.
A pair of warm hands hugged her tightly.
Li Shuping pulled away from the nightmare-like memories and gently patted her daughter's hand.
Lin Xiaoyu raised her head, looked at her with red eyes and said, "I know, Mom, you have experienced such terrible things before. Mom, you really suffered too much in the past."
Li Shuping exhaled, "It's all over. Qiu Jinbao didn't do anything to my mom. Sister Jinyu pried open the window, climbed into the house, knocked out the mad Qiu Jinbao, and gave me the bag she packed and the few dollars she saved, and let me run."
Qiu Jinbao was a fool. Even if he was drugged, he didn't know what to do and only knew to beat her.
She was almost beaten to death by Qiu Jinbao. If she had known Sister Jinyu, she said she would have been beaten to death by Qiu Jinbao.
