Chapter 39: A Carnival of One Man

Li Ling's birth was an accident, Lin Liangying was thirty-five years old that year, and he once thought about beating it, but finally gave birth. Soon after Li Ling was born, he was sent to Li Guofu's aunt who lived in the countryside and asked her to raise Li Ling, and she did not return to Lin Liangying until Li Ling was about to go to school. Li Ling remembered that on the day she left the countryside, she cried hoarsely, and she refused to let go of her aunt's hand.

Li Ling's sudden arrival made Li Zhaorong, Li Zhaohua and Li Xin extremely uncomfortable, and they were unwilling to admit that she was their own sister. At that time, Li Ling was thin and dark, and could only speak his hometown, in their eyes, this was a native girl from the countryside, so they laughed at her behind her back and alienated her on the bright side.

When Li Ling was a little older, he would follow them to buy snacks at the small shop downstairs. Once, Li Ling bought a popsicle with the little change he had left, and he was reluctant to eat it so quickly, but Li Zhaorong took it out of the refrigerator without asking, Li Ling didn't give it, and wanted to grab it back, Li Zhaorong pushed her away.

Li Zhaorong sat on the sofa and took the first bite, with an expression of enjoyment and showing off: "It's delicious~"

Li Ling was annoyed and rushed over to grab it, Li Zhaorong directly kicked Li Ling's face, every time Li Ling approached, he kicked and kicked, kick and kick, the more he kicked, the happier he became, grinning with his teeth and laughing harshly. Li Xin couldn't stand it and wanted to stop it, Li Zhaohua stopped her while laughing, and under the influence of Li Zhaohua, Li Xin couldn't help but giggle while saying "stop kicking".

The sounds in my ears converged, like the sounds that came from the sewers mixed with flowing sewage, foul-smelling garbage, crawling cockroaches, and screaming rats in the middle of the night.

Blood came out of the nostrils like red worms, staining the clothes red. Li Ling lost his strength, his head was dizzy, and he got up and stumbled into Lin Liangying's room. She locked the door and sobbed and used a tissue to stop the bleeding, but she couldn't seem to stop it.

Lin Liangying only found out about this almost a month later, she asked Li Ling if there was anything wrong, Li Ling shook his head and said nothing.

Lin Liangying accused Li Zhaorong: "My sister is only a few years old, you still bully her, are you worthy of being a big brother? You're such a big person, can she stand this foot under her feet, do you know that it's terrible?"

Li Zhaorong was still eating the meal, constantly rolling his eyes, with an expression of "she deserves it".

After a few words of scolding, the matter passed, and later Li Zhaorong went to another city to repeat his studies for three years before being admitted to university, and Li Ling met him only a handful of times.

Before the fifth grade, the family was quite lively, although Li Guofu was not often there, but Lin Liangying, Li Zhaohua and Li Xin were basically at home.

In the morning of school days, Lin Liangying often makes a breakfast that looks similar, instant noodles with two eggs, and at noon the most common thing to eat is salted duck eggs and salted fish with white porridge, or fried beans and the like.

After Li Guofu set up a factory in G City, Lin Liangying often went over to help, and it was a few months, Li Xin's high school had to stay, and only Li Zhaohua, who was in his third year of high school, was left at home, and Li Ling began to be responsible for Li Zhaohua's diet, but they all went out to buy breakfast.

Li Zhaohua decided to drop out of school a month before the college entrance examination, he was too stubborn to persuade him, and his grades have been counting, so Li Guofu asked him to go to G City to learn to do business, so Li Ling was the only one in the family.

Lin Liangying told Li Ling to go to the neighboring market to buy vegetables and cook at home, or to eat at the aunt's house who lived in the opposite building in the same community.

That aunt is a very kind woman, she looks a few years older than Lin Liangying, Li Ling was very embarrassed when she went there for lunch and dinner at first, but the aunt was very enthusiastic, and the style of the meal changed every day, which was very delicious.

After eating for about two weeks, my aunt's daughter and son-in-law went home after their honeymoon. Li Ling will never forget the look in the young and beautiful woman's eyes that looked at her for the first time, with sneer and contempt.

Her self-esteem did not allow her to disturb others, so she mostly nibbled on bread and ate pancakes from roadside stalls at noon, and had plenty of time to buy and cook for herself in the evening.

In addition to the Spring Festival, other festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, and birthday, Li Ling basically spent it alone in front of four white walls, and the carnival of this world has nothing to do with her.

I can't count how many dark nights I've spent alone, but I've always comforted myself that it's okay.

At this moment, Li Ling felt that her body was like a balloon filled with water, and it seemed to be falling down, and she didn't want to stay here for a second.

Jiang Zhiqing saw Li Ling's eyes with tears, and his eyes gradually became hideous and full of resentment, which was Li Ling he had never seen.

Lin Liangying kicked up from his chair, pointed at Li Ling and scolded: "I don't care about you? I don't care about you, can you grow so big? Your conscience has been eaten by dogs! Do you think you can fly when your wings are stiff? Let me tell you, a person without a conscience will never achieve anything!"

He turned his head and explained to Huang Zhong: "Teacher Huang, you are commenting, when his father was busy with work, I also worked with him, and at the same time, I took care of the four children with a handful of and urine, and her father ignored the affairs of the family, and I was always taking care of it." ”

Huang Zhong nodded from time to time in response beside him.

"My dad went to other places to do business, and I had to run back and forth between the two cities, and it was inevitable that I couldn't spare time to accompany her sometimes, but I couldn't help it, I had to survive. You also know how difficult it is to be a parent, she doesn't understand me and blame me for ignoring her, how chilling you say it is. And ......"

"Auntie, can you stop talking?" Jiang Zhiqing's voice was low with a hint of anger, "Teacher, please let Li Ling rest first." ”

Jiang Zhiqing's father finally spoke: "Jiang Zhiqing, what do you think you are? What are the elders talking about? ”

Jiang Zhiqing said stubbornly: "Please let Li Ling go back first, and communicate with me if you have anything." ”

Huang Zhong didn't know how to control the scene for a while, and noticed that Li Ling's face was ugly, so he said, "That...... Li Ling went back to the classroom to calm down his emotions first. ”

Li Ling turned his head and left, ran to the toilet and washed his face, so that the skin on his face was about to be torn and still felt that he had not washed it.

When she returned to her seat, Zhou Youer came with a note from behind: What's wrong?

Li Ling's hand was a little unsteady with the pen, and he reluctantly wrote a few words: It's okay, don't worry.

After a while, Zhou Youer wrote: It's okay. If there's anything I can share, just say.

Li Ling replied with a "good" word and added a smiling little sun.

Li Ling stared at the test paper in a daze, completely unable to concentrate on studying, and was scribbling things on the paper that she couldn't even understand, when suddenly a hand reached over and gently knocked on her desktop.
