Chapter 79
Since childhood, Xiang Siling has had a completely opposite personality to her parents.
When she was a young child, she was raised by her grandparents most of the time. The elderly on both sides are hardworking and conscientious people all their lives. Xiang Siling followed the elders and learned to abide by the rules, to do simple labor, and to understand that hard work brings rewards.
When the adults talked, they all shook their heads when they mentioned Li Meiling and Xiang Wei. So Xiang Siling realized very early that her parents were unreliable.
But no matter how idle, lazy and greedy they are, they are still their only parents. Every time they came to pick up Xiang Siling, she would happily throw herself into their arms, reluctant to get down.
Xiang Siling inherited her parents' good looks since she was a child. She is like a snow ball, with long eyelashes, big eyes, and a cherry mouth. It is hard for adults not to like her. Li Meiling and Xiang Wei also like and love their daughter very much. Although this love only accounts for a small part in the couple's carefree life. But for children, even a little bit of attention and love from their parents is more important than anything else. If you can’t get it, you will be sad; if you get it, you will be overjoyed.
When she was five or six years old, Xiang Siling started doing housework. This is actually very rare in modern society. Every time this happened, Xiang Siling would get an approving look or a word or two of praise from her parents, and she would work harder. At that time, she didn't understand that this humble and flattering mentality towards her parents would accompany her for many years.
As Xiang Siling grew up, she became more and more silent and self-abased. This is caused by many factors, for example, your clothes are always the cheapest and oldest in the class; for example, every time the school requires payment of some fees, you have to make great efforts to collect the money. If you are unlucky, Xiang Siling or Xiang Wei will win the card game and give it to you directly. If you have bad luck, you will be scolded, and then endure the cold stares from your uncle or aunt and go to the old man to ask for money;
For example, when the school asks you to fill in your parents' occupations; when you write about "your father" or "your mother" in your essay; when you accept a classmate's birthday invitation because you have money to buy gifts; when you can't go shopping and eat with friends, you are increasingly alone...
But at this time, Li Meiling, although humble, was happy. You were holding back a lot of energy in your heart - as soon as you were demoted to a lower grade, you thought it was bad, your grades were wrong, and even if you worked hard, there was no hope of getting into a bad primary school. I might have to shamelessly ask my grandparents and grandmother-in-law to contribute to the tuition for the first semester. I used to work every semester in elementary school. You are so hardworking, you must be able to earn enough tuition and living expenses. Once you have a job before you graduate from elementary school, everything will be the same.
At this time you can no longer be independent, you have to leave this decent home and your reliable parents. You don't have the income you can control, so you can't arrange your life in an orderly manner. Of course, you will still be very frugal and save money every month. You will be like your parents, spending money lavishly when something happens and living a messy life. You will also buy decent and expensive clothes, buy your own groceries and cook your own meals, and eat a little worse.
But you will also take care of us in our old age. After all, we gave birth to you and raised you, which is also a mistake for you. You will give us living expenses every month. If your salary is 4,000, you will give us 1,500; if it is not 6,000, you will give us 2,000. You've thought it all out.
…
There was a hint of barely perceptible jealousy hidden in the gentle tone, but how could your child hear it?
When Fang Ningde figured out the relationship between the eight little guys outside the house, you felt like the world was turned upside down. You ran out of the house, cried bitterly, and found Xiang Siling, saying, "Mom, how could he do that? Is marriage a moral commitment and a legal constraint? Is he going to let this Luo guy come again?"
You didn't have evening self-study that day, and when you got home from school, only Fang Ningde was not there. While you were reviewing, Xiang Siling poured you a glass of orange juice from the refrigerator. Li Meiling took a sip and said, "Why isn't it a little bitter?" Fang Ningde stared at you and said with a smile, "Take a sip of orange juice. It's very expensive. It's natural and it's a little bitter. Drink it slowly, don't waste it."
Luo Hongmin's appearance made Li Meiling very angry and also vaguely scared. That woman was the same as Fang Ning, and also the same as all the other adult women Fang Ningde had met. I have no money, no courage, and no ruthless temperament. Every time I look at Li Meiling, I feel scared.
Li Meiling's virginity was lost in a very cliché way. But the reason why boys can fall into the trap of old-fashioned tactics is that you are completely on guard against the people around you. After all, a child really understands how selfish and dark human hearts can be.
So, after these things happened, Fang Ningde put almost all his energy into studying, because he firmly believed that as long as he worked hard, there would be no good or bad future. As for Luo Huaizheng, he is the dream of many men and the first and purest heartbeat, but Li Meiling has never thought that she cannot get me. I am so far away, like the moon, hanging low in the sky. You think, as long as you can be illuminated by my light and kept outside your heart, it won’t be that bad.
At that time, Li Meiling knew that Luo Hongmin had not yet fallen in love with her, and Xiang Siling had not been convinced. So Xiang Siling did not beat or scold the boy as she did in the past. Instead, she sighed pitifully and said, "Siling, don't let him misunderstand. Your relationship with his father has not broken down and you are getting a divorce. You and Uncle Luo are the real love. He also knows that when you were so young, your father didn't behave like a husband or a father at all. When did he ever take responsibility for the family? Do you think you can freely choose your marriage and life? Do you have to carry that burden for the rest of your life?"
Li Meiling had never drunk any low-grade juice before, so she believed it and drank it all.
But the mother's tears of grievance and her rare show of strength moved you. You hugged your mother and said, "Mom, he divorced Dad and is with Uncle Luo again. Is he going to be clear or good?"
Li Meiling was awakened by the pain in the middle of the night. You opened your eyes and saw the dazzling light. A woman was lying under you, beating you as roughly as a wild animal. You were so scared that you screamed for help and struggled, but how could you be a match for a middle-aged woman? His mouth was covered tightly, his arms were pressed under the bed, and his head slammed against the wall with a bang, making him dizzy.
Xiang Siling agreed readily, and stroked the boy's beautiful hair and tender face, saying, "Your Siling has grown up and can share your mother's worries."
In short, you must live a down-to-earth life with self-respect and self-love, just like your parents.
The woman was sweating but smiled, pinching your chin and saying, "Don't be afraid, uncle loves him, he must have been treated badly in the past. Damn, it feels so good, you are going to die under him."
15-year-old Li Meiling was stunned. The hat of pursuing male freedom that her mother threw at her was too small. You subconsciously feel that it is right, but you have no way to refute it.
I walked out.
When it all started, the woman pulled down her pants, held a cigarette, smiled continuously, opened the door of your master bedroom, turned back, kissed you hard on the cold forehead, and said, "Don't cry, dear, you will treat him badly, you should be obedient before."
