Chapter 5: Don't Let Me Study
My mom glared at me, her eyes wide, and she could tell that she wanted to scold me several times.
I hugged the quilt and looked at her: "If you have to pull me down and stop me from studying, I will run away from home!"
"How dare you! I'm a woman, is it easy to feed two children?" my mother's fingers poked at my forehead, and her nails pierced me: "Do you still have a conscience?"
I smiled, every time I was forced to do something I didn't want to do in my previous life, I said this, and I also felt sorry for her and my brother, so I ended up being so miserable, and I didn't want to go back to my previous life in this life.
I said, "I'm forced by you to be unable to live, and I can still control others? Now the only people who can care about my brother are me and you, if you force me away, I will see what happens to you." ”
"You damn girl, I don't bother to pay attention to you! Hurry up and go to sleep, I'll be annoyed by looking at you! You want to go to school? Okay, pay your own tuition, I'll see how capable you are!" she said and left with a slam on the door.
I know that my mother is jealous of me, she is afraid that I will treat my brother badly in the future, who can care about my brother except me?
I'm not here, I've found a way to survive, threaten her with my brother, and I'll be able to live better. Let's do it first, lie down and cover the cup.
The quilt is the kind of quilt that only exists in the old countryside, and my mother brought it when she got married. It's been almost twenty years. The cheesy peony flowers plus some birds are now patches and patches, the thin ones are not warm, and the color has been washed and faded, and they can't be warmed for half a day.
I was lying under the quilt, a little panicked, this was the first night I was reborn, what if I couldn't wake up and made up my mind to live again, and I only had one day?
I smiled bitterly, this is not something I can decide, but I don't regret what I did today. If I can continue to live tomorrow, I will live every day as if it were my last, and I will never let myself suffer any grievances in my life. What you don't want to do, you definitely don't do!
At this time, my mother's laughter came from the next room, she has been sleeping in that room with her brother, in my previous life, I often cried because of her indifference to me, sad, and once in order to get a praise from my mother, I tried my best, and finally just cried myself, I have no such expectations in this life, and everything has been figured out.
My hand touched the edge of the kang, thinking to myself, I have to find a way to make money, my parents will not support me to go to school, I want to continue to study, have a good future, have money, study hard, but how do I make money?
Is there a job that is suitable for my age to make money? Like my mother, I make so much money for a penny, then I can't earn the tuition for school? Besides, if I make money, my mother will definitely snatch it!
How do I make money, if I can get into a good high school, a good university, I can work as a tutor during the holidays and make some money, but what should I do before junior high school? I have to find a way that I can make money. In my previous life, my ex-husband and I started by selling vegetables and fruits. worked day and night to save the first pot of gold, and then put on clothes, opened a store, and worked hard for more than ten years.
I don't have anything in this life, I'm still so young, how can I make money and still stay?
I really wanted to go back to school, sighed, and fell asleep in a daze.
The next morning, before dawn, my mother got up early, pushed the door in, she didn't speak, directly lifted my quilt, I shivered coldly, she didn't look at me, turned around and went out.
She has to get up at four o'clock every day to sweep the streets, and now it's winter, and she has to clear the ice and snow, and she can't stop working outside for hours on end, which is really hard. The salary is not high, but because this work only takes half a day, and I can go home to take care of my younger brother after finishing it in the morning, my mother is very willing to do this job. In my previous life, until I vomited blood and died, my mother was still doing this, and even on the day I got married, she never rested.
I hurriedly got dressed, and the room was only a small wall of fire, and there was no heat for a long time. The temperature was really cold, and when I was dressing, I was so cold that I sneezed a few times in a row, so I quickly got dressed and went out, and started the stove first.
Digging out the ashes in the stove, the black smoke miasma, and the ashes inside choked people so much that they couldn't open their eyes. I haven't had an electric stove for 10 years, and it's really sinful.
She was changing her clothes and combing her hair, and when she saw it, she was about to kick me; "You be quiet! Why are you waking up your brother? Clumsy, you don't have a long heart!"
I didn't speak, I ducked as fast as I could, and went on working.
I didn't have much time to cook in the morning, so I just warmed up the food I saved last night, and added some water to the rice porridge, and then I put a big bowl for her, and then I had to prepare the rice I was going to bring at noon. My mom doesn't have time for me.
My mother drank porridge and watched me squatting over there beating potato skins, and said, "I thought about it, if you don't study, you don't have to work so hard, and if you go to junior high school in the future, go earlier, what will happen to your brother? Come down, so that when I go to work, you can take care of him, and I can rest assured." I graduated from elementary school in the second half of the year, and then you will find a job to do, I think you are stupid and clumsy, you can't get into college at all, don't bother it. ”
I didn't look at her, and quickly threw the peeled potatoes into the basin: "I just want to try, wouldn't it be good if I passed the test? I said that you don't need to spend money on me, you can rest assured." ”
My mother snorted: "It's okay if you don't spend money? Other people's children make money for their families when they are teenagers, and they can still give their families bride price when they get married in their twenties, and if you don't earn money for me and still want to go to school, you will lose money! You stay at home at the age of 25 and get married." In the past few years, you can be regarded as helping the family. Mom will ask someone to find you a good one when the time comes. ”
I looked at my mother: "Do you mean to let me come down from now on, work for 12 years, earn enough money, and then throw me out for a bride price? I'm not so stupid, my brother is like this, I stopped studying after graduating from elementary school, and I still want to find a good partner in the future? I'd better study hard, having a good job is good for our family. In the future, you can find a good man, at least with culture and quality. ”
My mother grabbed her chopsticks and looked at me deadly: "Stinky and shameless, how old are you thinking about this?"
"You brought it up first, don't scold me for being shameless at every turn! I said I must study, and you can't stop me. I looked at her calmly.
I just didn't know a few words in my last life, and I was always deceived when I did anything. Obviously, I was doing business with my ex-husband and established a factory, but in the end he transferred flowers and trees and became his personal own, I had nothing, I was busy, and my father also took advantage of me not knowing anything, so I owed so much usury, and I can't suffer the loss of no knowledge in this life and go down the old road.
Seeing that I kept talking back, my mother frowned and said, "Are you stunned? Dead girl, I have seen that something is wrong with you since yesterday." If you dare to disobey, I will beat you to death!"
I said, "I'm going to go to school, and if you keep pushing me, I'll have to run, and you take care of my brother by yourself." "I didn't speak, I quickly cracked the potato skin.
My mother scolded me, mentioning that I didn't care about my brother, she had no words, drank the porridge, and then went out, and before leaving, she came back to me: "I don't believe that you can be admitted to school like this, you have to count down, you have no other skills now, and your skin is getting thicker and thicker!"
I sighed and cut the potatoes over there, even the countdown wasn't what I wanted.
My mother didn't give me any time at all, and every day when I went home, I kept working, and if I wrote my homework in front of her, I didn't get scolded once, and she once tore up my homework book, and the students in the class kept bullying me. I had low self-esteem and fear, and the teacher didn't like me.
Every time I give a gift to the teacher on Teacher's Day, I am empty-handed, I have not heard the teacher's sour words, every time I am sarcastic, I dare not look up, the second semester of the fifth grade was driven by the teacher to the last row, in front of the big and tall boys, I can't see the blackboard at all, and it will hell if my academic performance can be good.
