In the early hours of the morning, Bi Yue, who was sleeping with a high fever, had tears quietly sliding down her eyes into her pillow.
…
In a small mountain village in the northeast, surrounded by mountains on three sides, there lives such a family.
Grandpa Bi Fu suffers from uremia and is paralyzed on the kang all year round;
When my uncle Bi Tielin was 23 years old, he was convicted of "hooliganism" and imprisoned for kissing a female educated youth who had not yet returned to the city. It has been seven years since then.
The same year that my uncle was first imprisoned, my grandmother knelt down in front of the government and cried out for justice. Less than two months after returning to the village, she held Bi Yue, who was gasping for breath, and breathed her last with her eyes open, dying with her eyes open.
From that day on, eleven-year-old Bi Yue gradually became less talkative.
Why is the girl like this?
Because Bi Yue, who was gathering firewood behind the pile, witnessed with her own eyes that it was the female educated youth who kissed her uncle first.
She blamed herself. If she hadn't told her grandmother that her uncle was wrongly accused, would her grandmother, who loved her the most, have passed away so early?
This became a scar in the young girl's heart, a hurdle that she could never overcome!
…
Later, she and her twin brother Bi Sheng grew up.
They became the talk of the town in the surrounding villages, and one could often hear the villagers sighing with pride for them.
Because her family was poor and the Bi family had a lot of foreign debts, they had already borrowed all they could.
First, I was worried that my uncle was suffering in prison, so it was difficult to provide him with food and drink. Later, I had to pay for the treatment of my grandfather's uremia.
How poor are you?
I was admitted to university, but I couldn't afford the travel expenses and couldn't leave the mountains.
In order to pay for the trip and other expenses after arriving in Kyoto, Bi Cheng went to the brick factory to carry bricks to earn money.
For the sake of money, the money she owed and the money she lacked, Bi Yue felt that life was meaningless.
Why? Why did she and her brother get into college at the age of sixteen, but still couldn't change their fate? Who can give an answer, tell the sixteen-year-old girl!
…
"Nier, isn't it just travel expenses?! Daddy would sell his bones to support your studies!"
A middle-aged man of 1.8 meters tall, carrying a hoe and dry food on his back, resolutely stepped into the local famous dangerous mountain.
Legend has it that there are wolves there, and of ten that go in, eight will never come back;
It is said that there are treasures special to the Northeast there, and if you find them you will become rich.
Both his eldest daughter and eldest son were admitted to universities in the capital. Not only are they twins who are praised by everyone in the surrounding villages, but they are also extremely intelligent siblings. Who wouldn't say that his daughter and son are the incarnation of the God of Literature!
Everyone in the village, young and old, said that smoke was coming out of the ancestral grave of the Bi family. When Bi Tiegang thought about it, he felt that there was finally hope in his life!
This dark-skinned, simple man set out the day after his children received their college admission letters. He risked his life to go into the mountains.
His purpose was simple, to send his children to college and to send them away from the small mountain village to the big city!
However, Bi Yue and Bi Cheng never imagined that their college admission letter, the result of their hard work, would make their father lame in one leg.
The taut string in Bi Yue's heart broke the moment she saw her father being carried back.
…
"Nier, my silly Nier! Your father's legs and feet are broken, that's his fate, how can you be so stubborn? He doesn't regret going into the mountains! He's anxious and angry because he didn't dig anything! Having parents like us has delayed you, and you are mistreating yourselves like this, you are tearing at my heart!"
Amidst the sorrowful cries, Liu Yafang touched Bi Yue's face with her rough hands, looking distressed.
During this period, Liu Yafang's eyes seemed to be blinded by crying, and everything she saw was a little blurry.
Grandpa Bi Fu, lying on the kang, watched his eldest son Bi Tiegang dragging his injured leg to get off the kang in a hurry to see Bi Yue, and leaning against the fire wall in vain. The old man tilted his head to the other side and burst into tears.
The door creaked...
Bi Jinzhi, the second oldest and only aunt, lifted the tattered door curtain, grabbed Bi Yue, who had attempted suicide, and slapped her twice. The slap marks immediately appeared on Bi Yue's face.
After the beating, amidst the screams of Bi Yueniang and Liu Yafang, Bi Jinzhi hugged her niece, who was lying on the kang in a daze, and suddenly burst into tears, muttering hoarsely:
"I'll pay for you! I'll pay for you! Xiaoyue!"
Bi Jinzhi regretted why she didn't choose a better man when she got married...
This was the first time Bi Yue was beaten since she was a child.
The ten-year-old Bi Chen dragged the sixteen-year-old Bi Yue and said anxiously with a red face:
"Sister! I'm going to the brick factory to carry bricks with my brother! Don't, don't..."
The ten-year-old boy turned his head away stubbornly, not wanting to cry, but his tears wouldn't listen to him and flowed down mixed with snot... I just beg you not to scare me, sister.
…
In that scene two years ago, Bi Yue at that time was just like Ai Xuan who had traveled through time at this moment.
Their eyes were filled with tears, but they were unwilling to open them. The tears slid from the corners of their eyes, flowed into the cracks in their hearts, seeped into their bones, and spread throughout their bodies.
Aixuan recalled her original body's memories. She lay on the iron bed and clenched her fists tightly.
It seems that he is trying his best to fight against fate for Bi Yue;
It seems to be encouraging myself to have the courage to continue feeling;
It seems helpless that no matter whether it is a big city or a small village, this tragedy can always be seen in this world.
…
Bi Yue went to college. The Bi family had two college students, which was incredible for the Bi family at that time.
It was Zhao Shugen, the village chief in his fifties, who pushed open the door of this house filled with sorrow.
Zhao Shugen, a distant relative, respectfully addressed Bi Fu as "Uncle." As soon as he entered the room, he shouted to the old man lying on the kang:
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
