Taozi looked up at Qiao Jiangxin, her eyes showing a stubbornness that was not in line with her age. "From a practical point of view, it was my parents who troubled my uncle and aunt to raise the child, and they pushed their responsibilities onto my uncle and aunt.
The ones who were in trouble were my uncle and aunt, and I was the one who was asked to be grateful and suffered the injustice.
It's not that I'm ungrateful, it's that I'm unwilling. I'm unwilling to accept that my parents have been invisible in this matter. ”
Taozi knelt on the ground with her neck stretched out. When these words came out, Qiao Jiangxin was stunned for a long time.
"You get up first." She pulled Taozi up.
Taozi tightly grasped Qiao Jiangxin's sleeve and said, "I have been used to reading people's faces since I was a child. After I said those words to you, I clearly felt that you didn't want to play with me anymore.
Before, people laughed at me for being an unwanted dog and I just wanted to go home. Now that I’m home, I want to escape again.
Sister Jiang Xin, I am really not an ungrateful person. I know whether my uncle's family has done me any favors or not.
But I just don't like everyone reminding me of this matter over and over again, asking me to remember and to repay the favor, because this itself is an invisible burden and pressure for me now. The more they do this, the more I want to go against everyone, because I am still in the fire pit.
You helped me, and I will remember you for the rest of my life. ”
Qiao Jiangxin felt a little complicated.
If we put it in the future, Taozi would be in junior high school.
But her thoughts are more extreme and mature than those of ordinary people, and even a little rebellious. As a woman at the bottom of society, she has a selfish character, which she doesn't hate, but the impression she left on herself last time was not just selfish...
Seeing that Qiao Jiangxin didn't say anything, Taozi looked directly at Qiao Jiangxin and continued, "I know I'm selfish, but no one in this world loves me. My parents have never cared about me since I was a child. They just told me over and over again that they are my biological parents and asked me to be filial to them in the future.
My uncle and aunt were forced to raise me, and their lives were not easy either. I was forced into the family. Before I was ten years old, my aunt was not nice to me. Although she didn't beat me much, she often scolded me. She often quarreled with my uncle, and she would talk about me every time.
She always keeps saying in front of me that her nephew is a dog and will leave after eating.
Every sigh and even silence from my uncle makes me tremble with fear because I know I am a burden.
I stopped going to school when I turned eleven and could stay at home to do a lot of chores. Then my aunt didn't hate me as much. I tried my best to please everyone in the family and carefully made everyone happy, for fear of being kicked out.
Everyone stood on a moral high ground and taught me to be grateful, but no one asked me whether I was willing to live this kind of life.
I was kicked and beaten during the holidays, but I didn’t think too much about it. I just wanted to be a bad person and do the best for myself. ”
Qiao Jiangxin looked at her rough and cracked hands, then at her pants that revealed a portion of her calves, and her heart softened.
"Okay, put your things down first. I'm just giving you a chance. How you go on in the future depends on your own efforts."
Taozi breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully, "Well, Sister Jiang Xin, thank you, don't worry, I won't eat for free, and I won't let you lose money."
Liu Axia was wiping the table. When she saw Qiao Jiangxin coming out, she hurriedly went up to him and asked with concern.
"Jiang Xin, will the noble have any opinion about you?"
Qiao Jiangxin knew that she was asking about Taozi.
"It's okay, it's not a big deal." Qiao Jiangxin shook his head slightly.
Liu Axia also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't worry, I'll take care of Taozi. She's also very hardworking. Although she has some small thoughts, she's willing to do anything like those girls from your uncle's family. They're not the kind of people who are lazy or play tricks."
Qiao Jiangxin nodded, "Aunt, Taozi will live in the same room with you from now on."
"Oh." Liu Axia was very happy to see that Qiao Jiangxin was willing to accept Taozi.
Taozi packed up her two few sets of old clothes and quickly followed Liu Axia into the kitchen to find something to do.
It is indeed like what Liu Axia said, she is not a lazy person and knows how to do things when they happen.
With her joining, Qiao Jiangxin and Liu Axia felt a lot more relaxed.
After school, Ah Qi still comes to Qiao Jiangxin's store to help.
In just a few months, her personality became much more cheerful.
