Chapter 173 Changing a Life
"After that, she untied the rope tied around me and pushed me to my aunt."
"Then, without hesitation, she turned and jumped off the bridge."
"I will never forget that scene. My aunt caught me and threw me over the railing."
"My mother's body made a beautiful arc in the air and then fell heavily into the water."
"With a splash of water, she disappeared just like that..."
"I cried and screamed my heart out and wanted to jump down to save her."
"But, I was hugged tightly by my aunt."
"I could only watch helplessly as my mother disappeared into the icy river."
"I never saw my mother again after that."
"My dad didn't come to see me because he was embarrassed by my mom's suicide."
"It was as if he had vanished from the face of the earth and never appeared again."
"Overnight, I became an orphan, and it was my aunt who took me home..."
Qi Shan started laughing as she spoke, and she sighed as if she wondered why such a father would let her get in trouble.
"My father is good at putting all the blame on the victim. He thinks that since he is the head of the family, what he says must make sense, and my mother and I must listen to him. When I was a child, I always saw my mother secretly hiding in the kitchen and crying. I didn't understand and just stood there quietly."
[Isn’t this a widowed marriage? ]
[You are wrong. In a widowed marriage, at least one person works hard to raise children. It would be fine if that person didn't exist. This kind of marriage is just not caring about the matter and still likes to comment from a high position. Isn't it just widowhood with occasional corpses? I can't stand it.]
[Let me put it this way. It’s your birthday, and he invites the whole family from your in-laws’ side to celebrate at home. But the whole family waits like a bunch of idiots for you to cook and serve the food. In the end, because there aren’t enough seats, they let you sit on a small stool in the kitchen with some food in your hands...]
[I'll do it, I'll do it. Afterwards, the whole family will have eaten and drunk their fill, leaving you with a mess. You can't be upset, because a man next to you will tell you that they came to celebrate your birthday to give you face. You should be sensible and not be ungrateful!]
[The little sister’s mother is so pitiful. ]
"My aunt has always felt guilty about this, so when my father didn't want me anymore, she decisively took me back to her home. My uncle-in-law is also a very good person. At that time, their home was only 40 square meters, which was not a big deal for a family of three, but with me, it seemed crowded."
When Qi Shan stood awkwardly at the door of her aunt's house, she felt that her cousin disliked her and hated her because of her sudden intrusion, but what Qi Shan didn't expect was.
My aunt and uncle-in-law simply changed my cousin's single bed into a bunk bed and divided all the things in the room into two parts. As long as my cousin had something in the room, she would definitely have it.
[My aunt's family is blessed, they are such good people. ]
【yes.】
[So the young lady was raised by her aunt's family? ]
Qi Shan nodded. "My cousin is lively and lovely, with a cheerful personality. She is the kind of girl that everyone loves. I know that my aunt has been compensating me all these years, but I don't blame her at all. Master, am I born with bad luck? Am I destined to bring misfortune to my relatives? Am I the one who deserves to die the most?"
Qi Shan, who was originally feeling a little depressed, suddenly lost control of her emotions. Bai Youyou was also sighing when she saw her fate and past.
After moving into her aunt's house, she felt a family atmosphere she had never felt before, especially her lovely little cousin who always pulled her to talk about things. She was afraid that she would have wild thoughts if she was alone, so she would tell her jokes when she returned to her room and share with her some interesting things she encountered at school.
These years were the happiest days for Qi Shan. She put aside the pain of the past and integrated herself into this family wholeheartedly. She also silently vowed that she would study hard in college, make a lot of money in the future, buy a big house for her aunt and uncle, and leave a big pink room for her little cousin...
However, the good times didn’t last long. A year ago, on his way home from get off work, my uncle-in-law saw someone quarreling. He went to try to stop them. One of the quarrelers got angry and pulled out a sharp knife from a nearby fruit stand. In the chaos, he stabbed my uncle-in-law in the thigh...
"When my uncle-in-law was taken to the hospital, the doctor said that he couldn't draw any blood... He was stabbed in the aorta in his leg..."
"My aunt handled my uncle's funeral with great strength. She was calm the whole time. My cousin and I didn't dare cry in front of her. We could only hide in the room and cry together."
At this moment, the bullet screen was silent, and no one knew what to say...
She smiled miserably, and tears fell from the corners of her eyes in a line...
Bai Youyou's eyes flickered slightly, and she saw the vague, almost transparent shadow slowly appearing behind Qi Shan...
Silently summoned the purple gold soul-nourishing talisman, and introduced the shadow into the talisman...
[I am about to cry my eyes out. Why is God so blind?]
[That’s right, why don’t good things happen to good people? 】
[Yeah, my heart is twisted when I hear this. ]
[Is it because her father's matter has affected the little sister's cousin? Why does the master have to save her cousin? 】
"In order not to affect my cousin's college entrance examination, my aunt always forced herself to smile and act calm, as if nothing had happened at home. My cousin also worked hard and got very good results in the college entrance examination. She said that she applied to North China University, where I am, and she didn't want to go to school in another city. Like me, she couldn't let go of my aunt."
As she was talking, Qi Shan couldn't go on any more.
Xiao Yezi stayed in the local area to attend university, and many of her classmates were admitted to different cities. They are about to go their separate ways and pursue their own future.
Before that, her classmates organized a class party and made an appointment to go to a food stall to eat barbecue.
Before leaving, Qi Shan's aunt specifically reminded her to go home early, and if it was too late, she would pick her up herself.
Xiao Yezi agreed obediently, and before leaving, she pulled Qi Shan to act coquettishly, "Sister, if I come back late, can you and mom come to pick me up?"
Qi Shan knew that her mother was also worried that she would have some weird thoughts if she went out alone, so she always found various reasons to keep her aunt company.
She tapped Xiao Yezi's forehead and said, "I know, you are not yet an adult, so just drink some beverages, but don't drink alcohol, or I will be angry."
Xiao Yezi smiled and saluted, "Yes, my elder sister!"
Then I went out happily to the appointment...
Qi Shan could never have imagined that this would be a date that would change Xiao Yezi's life...
