Chapter 88 Yan Ling (1)
Meteor Boulevard.
The scorching sun is in the sky, and the traffic is busy.
In front of a signal light, seven or eight cars slowly stopped in the white line, and the red light counted down to 60 seconds.
A man in white-collar overalls held out his hand outside the driver's window, holding a cigarette butt between his middle and index fingers, shook the ash, and suddenly raised his eyebrows to see a scruffy girl trotting down the sidewalk.
The girl looked at him expectantly and passed the notebook in her arms to his hand.
There is a pen hanging in the middle of the book with a pen cap, and the man curiously opened the book and saw a sentence written on it: Please donate 10 yuan with love.
The girl seemed to be afraid that the man would not understand, so she helped him turn to the cover, which was pasted with a green certificate of disability. Then she flipped to the middle again, repeatedly pointed to the 10 yuan donation and the QR code of WeChat and Alipay below, and forced the pen into the man's hand.
"Do you want me to donate ten dollars to sign it?" the man was impatient, he looked at the girl silent and his eyes were clear, and suddenly said, "Oh, deaf and dumb people, right?
The man sneered, and directly threw the pen and notebook far away: "Get out!"
The girl looked at him stunned, apparently unexpected, and when she came back to her senses, the man had already flicked the hot cigarette butt in her face and closed the window.
In the evening, the setting sun casts the afterglow on the light, and the original dark area is even darker.
"Smack!"
A slap struck the girl's emaciated face, sending her to the garbage heap.
"Ten dollars? You got ten dollars a whole day? What's the use of me raising you?" In the abandoned rental house, the woman's roar was clearly heard by the neighbors.
At this time, anyone who knows the inside story will sigh: this girl is really miserable. There was no shortage of well-wishers who tried to dissuade the mother from punching and kicking her child, but as soon as they entered the house, they were smoked by the mixed smell inside, and there were also smart people who went in wearing masks, and then the dirty woman didn't listen to anything, and behaved to them, can you imagine a thirty-year-old woman aging into forty or fifty years old and pretending to be an innocent student girl with inferior makeup? so disgusting that it makes people vomit the overnight meal.
From then on, no one cared about the idle affairs of the mother and daughter, as for calling the police? Anyway, no one was killed, so they could drag it out, and they didn't want to get into trouble.
After all, this kind of woman is still good for her to fend for herself, but she just took pity on that child. But pity is pitiful, they have no sympathy to flood to the point of unconditional funding for her.
Although the girl was deaf and dumb, she could roughly read what her mother was scolding, and she sobbed silently, getting up and looking for something in the garbage heap.
The woman was tired after scolding for a while, so she sat on the haystack and took a sip of tap water from a plastic bottle.
Junk food bags, disposable lunch boxes, cheap canned food, rotten peels with fruit flies flying...... The girl flipped through the garbage with her bare hands, and finally found a coarse cloth stained with menstrual blood.
Relieved, she hurriedly ran to the filthy and dilapidated toilet. She was going to wash it and put it on her mother.
The girl twisted the rusty faucet, but found that there was not a drop of water, she hesitated, but ran out of the rental house and went to steal water from the faucet outside a small factory nearby.
When the woman saw the girl bring the coarse cloth, she waved her hand and pointed to the girl's lower body, meaning "I don't need it anymore, you can use it yourself".
The woman looked at the girl with unkempt eyes but extremely pure, and her already numb heart also tightened, she wanted to touch the girl's face, but the girl dodged in a panic, and her pure eyes showed timidity.
The woman's hand froze in mid-air and fell again.
"I don't like to be clean, and I don't wash my face when I have water, no wonder it's annoying. She whispered.
In fact, she is the same, girls learn from her to become beggars, but yes, they are beggars.
The woman suddenly laughed, and there was infinite desolation in her laughter.
She used to be a nightclub lady and met a rich man by chance. She thought that she could fly on the branches and become a phoenix from now on, so she quit her job and lived in a mansion to ask for money from men.
It's just that she didn't expect that the man likes the new and hates the old, he never regarded her as his future wife, and when she was tested pregnant, the man gave her a sum of money and kicked her out.
Her family was prescient and felt that the man was unreliable at first, but the woman always thought that her vision would not be wrong, so she fell out with the family.
Now the ending is that she did it herself, but in order to maintain the last bit of dignity, she is unwilling to go home and be laughed at by her parents.
Besides, the woman is accustomed to the luxurious life in the mansion, and is still immersed in sweet dreams, she does not want to pay any labor, and fantasizes that as long as she gives birth to a child, the man will one day change his mind and take her back.
But the reality is brutal.
She gave birth to a girl named Ai Ling, the man's surname is Ai, and the woman's name is Ling.
The woman contacted the man by phone and said that she had bore him a daughter, but the man hung up the phone without paying attention.
She finally despaired, the huge stimulation made her suffer from depression, and she could no longer do the service work she was best at, so she could only earn some change by asking for food and helping people clean.
She worked hard to raise Ai Ling little by little, but unexpectedly, one time, Ai Ling had a high fever, because of negligence, she did not take her to see a doctor in time, and Ai Ling was burned to a deaf and mute person.
Fortunately, her intelligence was not affected.
The man later learned of this, and under the woman's bitter begging, he promised to pay to send Ai Ling to study in a deaf school for a few years, but claimed that this was the last time to help their mother and daughter, and scolded: "You mother and daughter are both garbage, and you are only worthy of being accompanied by garbage in this life!"
Hehe, it's so good to scold, garbage is garbage, I like to be with garbage. The woman is completely depraved.
Dad, what kind of person is he? Where is he? Why don't you stay with us? On the first night of the school break, Ai Ling wrote three questions in her notebook.
The woman was slightly stunned, she wanted to say that your father is a super rich man, and he can buy us a few villas just by playing mobile games, but he abandoned our mother and daughter, and he is a complete negative man.
But the woman thought about it and took a pen and wrote: Your father is dead, he is a very good man, don't mention him in the future.
Ai Ling watched her mother hide her face and cry, hugged her arm tightly, and obediently did not ask again.
As the days went by, the family found out about the woman's situation, scolded her for being bloody, and took the initiative to cut off the relationship with her, thinking that there was no such shameful daughter, and the deaf and dumb Ai Ling, they did not take it to raise.
The woman's mental state is even worse, her temper is getting more and more irritable, she can't do any work, and she abandons herself every day and lies in the abandoned rental house waiting for death.
Ten-year-old Ai Ling took over the job of taking care of her mother strongly.
She used her mother's only valuable smartphone to go to the printing shop to intercept the QR codes of Alipay and WeChat, and relied on a certificate of disability to beg on the street, subway, square and other crowded places.
She did not seek help from the police because she felt that the police were catching bad people and could not help their mother and daughter improve their lives.
Zhou Yuling is a woman's name.
When Ai Ling was twelve years old, Zhou Yuling's parents still took them back to their home and sued the rich man in court to get child support for Ai Ling.
But Zhou Yuling's resistance was very fierce, because once her life got better, she couldn't die, so she went on a hunger strike to show her will to die.
"Yuling, isn't she just a rich man? If it's gone, it's gone, do you need to practice yourself like this?" Yuling's mother washed her face with tears all day long.
In fact, it's not that they don't care about Zhou Yuling, they just want Zhou Yuling to suffer a little and have a deep memory, and in the end, if she can come back and admit her mistake by herself, the matter will pass. But who knows, this girl is so stubborn, she would rather die outside than bow to them.
They did go a little too far at the time to sever the relationship, but it was just angry words, if Zhou Yuling could be convinced, how could it evolve into the current situation.
"Look at her, what does she look like now? She is as thin as a skeleton, and she can be a grandmother!" Zhou Yuling's father sighed, and sometimes he blamed himself, blaming himself for failing to educate Zhou Yuling well, she was pregnant unmarried when she was just an adult, and was deceived by a rich and handsome scumbag.
Zhou Yuling is not their only child, she also has a younger brother who is in college - her own brother is also indifferent to this sister, and only cares about having fun with his girlfriend. So most of their energy is focused on their son, which is why they didn't care much about Zhou Yuling.
But even so, Zhou Yuling is their biological daughter, and this will never change.
The reason why Zhou Yuling really begged for death was not because of that man, but Ai Ling.
Since the day Ai Ling couldn't hear her voice and couldn't speak, Zhou Yuling knew that Ai Ling's life was completely ruined, she would have no childhood, no happiness, no integration into society, and she would have to be labeled as a disabled person for the rest of her life, living in the pain of inferiority and autism.
And the initiator of all this is her.
It was she who gave birth to Ai Ling for her own selfish desires, it was she who caused the tragedy of Ai Ling's deafness and muteness, she was sorry for Ai Ling, it was all her! She should die, what she owes Ai Ling can only be repaid with her life.
But can Ai Ling lose her mother? Zhou Yuling doesn't know.
All she knew was that Ai Ling didn't want her to die.
That day, she hoped that her parents would take Ai Ling away, but she didn't.
She couldn't seem to get out of it.
In the tangled contradiction between maternal love and death day after day, she struggles, she hesitates.
Finally, Zhou Yuling came up with a way, that is, to make Ai Ling hate herself by beating and scolding, as long as Ai Ling hates her to the core, after she dies, Ai Ling should not be sad, right?
But no matter how she used violence against Ai Ling, Ai Ling endured it silently and took care of her consistently.
She felt that she had no face to live in this world, and it would be a sin to stay for one more day.
She is a burden, a garbage in a man's mouth, and without her existence, Ai Ling can live a better life.
Zhou Yuling died.
She locked herself in her room and didn't let anyone in, especially Ai Ling.
She poured all the meals delivered to the door into the toilet, making her family mistakenly think that she had figured it out and gave up her hunger strike, but she couldn't get over it and needed time to adjust.
So within a few days, she was starved to death.
When Ai Ling saw her mother's corpse, her eyes welled up with intense sadness, and she drew nine hearts on her mother's right palm, as if to say "I will always love you".
The mother created her tragedy, she created the death of her mother.
It seems that they have been cleared up, but they are relatives who depend on each other, so why should they owe this.
She never resented her mother.
