The day before the exam was a Sunday, and the eldest brother happened to be on vacation, so he went to the vegetable station to serve the food in the morning.

I helped my sister-in-law light the stove at the stall and then did the final preparations on the side.

I took out all the notes Li Shan gave me and read them carefully, and I always felt that no matter how I looked at it, there were places that were missing, and I became more and more useless and had no confidence, and my hands were cold.

My sister-in-law patted me on the shoulder: "Qiao'er! Don't be nervous, I see you memorized the question very well yesterday. How can you be a full meeting, you are not a machine, even if you are the champion, you will not get a perfect score. ”

"I understand my sister-in-law." I put all those books aside, prepared to read one subject for an hour, and then stopped reading them, and relaxed and prepared for the exam.

When the door opened, we both thought it was a customer and said, "What do you want?" ”

A gray figure rushed in, it was my mother, and before I could talk to my mother, she slapped me suddenly, and I was hit in the face a few times, and then my mother's fist hit me in the face, and she didn't speak, her eyes were red, and she wanted to eat me.

I pushed her away with all my might, my face was blazing, and I shouted loudly: "What are you crazy about here, what's wrong with me, why are you beating me!" ”

The sister-in-law hurriedly rushed over and grabbed her mother: "What are you doing, Mom, can't you say anything well, you let go of Qiao'er!" ”

"Lin Cailian, get up! I'm going to beat her to death today! My mother was hugged by my sister-in-law and couldn't move, pointing at me panting and shouting: "I said that you don't want to serve your second sister-in-law's confinement child, it turns out that people want to take the exam, and I lick my face and want to go up!" I heard you're going to go to an agricultural school? You don't pee to see what virtues you have, and you have the life to go to school! Bah! I'll take care of you! ”

"Who are you listening to about this?" I said coldly.

"You still want to hide it from me? Yaya came to the house to say, if it wasn't for your second sister-in-law telling me, I would still be in the dark! ”

I understood, Yaya saw that I was also going to be admitted to the agricultural school, and I couldn't get angry, because my grades after graduating from junior high school were better than hers, and he was worried that I would be admitted and make her lose face, so he went to my house to instigate Liu Ye.

Liu Ye is a woman like the mud of her own life, it is absolutely impossible for me to live well, and her plan to throw the child to us did not succeed, I guess she is bent on revenge.

Knowing the news, I naturally instigated my mother to stir up me, I will take the exam tomorrow, and come over today, whether it is Liu Ye or Yaya, it is vicious enough.

The sister-in-law hurriedly said: "Are you just because of this matter?" It's not a shame to be admitted to an agricultural school, so why don't you let her take the exam? ”

"You know!" Mom pushed away the sister-in-law and shouted, "You don't know what's going on at home?" The second brother ran away and was not at home, the second brother and sister knew how to eat without doing anything every day, the two dead children cried every day, the poor in the family couldn't open the pot, and she still wanted to go to school? I'm telling you, as long as I have a breath left, I won't be able to let you take the exam, and besides, you won't be able to pass the exam! ”

I sneered and said, "Knowing that I can't pass the exam, why are you still in such a hurry?" Aren't you just worried that I'm going to be admitted to school, and you can't control me anymore, and no one continues to be a cow and a horse for you? ”

"What do you say?"

"What does it have to do with me, did I let my second brother elope with Zhang Yutong, or did I let my second sister-in-law be so lazy? Did I take the hundreds of dollars you saved? Or did I give birth to those two girls? I said, why can't you see me as good? ”

My mother's face turned purple, and she pointed at me and said, "I know you can speak well, and I don't need to say anything." You are twenty years old this year, and if you can't get married, our Wang family will be embarrassed, things are packed up, and the fruit doesn't need to be sold, hurry up and go back with me, I have asked the matchmaker to show you, a descendant in the back village has just been discharged from the army, and he is anxious to find a partner, and people have also said that they don't dislike you, and they will prove it after February 2nd! ”

I laughed, "What's so disgusting about me?" And why should I marry someone I haven't met, Mom, you'd better get your head treated. What age do you think I'm still a child, what do you say? ”

When my mother heard this, she pounced like a beast, grabbed my hair and tore it out: "Your cheap mouth is just not cleaned up, I will never let you take the exam, even if I cripple you, I can't let you go to the exam!" ”

I felt a sharp pain in my head, grabbed my mother's arm and slammed it out, her body staggered and hit the door frame behind her, and with a bang, she screamed and sat directly on the ground.

She began to slap her thighs with her hands and cried: "Look at the daughter who beats her own mother like this? I raised and raised such a white-eyed wolf, it's not a human being, it's disobedient and beats its own mother, it's even worse than a beast! The sister-in-law hurriedly went over to persuade her, and her mother pointed at her and began to scold.

"Lin Cailian, are you stupid? Now marry Qiao'er, and everyone over there has agreed to give a bride price of 500! You and the second child's family are more than two hundred, and you actually help her talk? If she goes to school, she won't be able to do anything for several years, she can't get married, she can't make money, why should I keep her? ”

I sneered: "The second brother is an old waste, you are willing to support him for a lifetime, and I don't need you to feed him, why are you interfering in my life!" ”

"I'll interfere, you don't care about anything at home and watch jokes on the side, and you don't pay or contribute, I can't make you feel better!" Mom can be regarded as telling the truth, but she doesn't want me to be good.

The sister-in-law hurriedly said: "You can't treat Qiaozhen like this, she is a person, not a bride price." ”

Mom shouted anxiously: "Why don't you even listen to me, are you still human, are you willing to force me to death!" ”

I gave her a cold look, returned to the kang and continued reading.

The sister-in-law was embarrassed: "Qiao'er, look at this ......"

"If she's crazy, I don't have to spend a penny on her now, what can I do? Sister-in-law doesn't care about her, do you see that she has been calling over there for a long time, and there is a tear flowing down? It's all pretended. I flipped through the pages and looked at the English words on it.

When my mother saw me like this, she simply rushed out and cried loudly, scolding me for having no conscience and even beating my own mother.

But she made one mistake, this is not a rural area, there is a group of people around big things, the city is in charge of itself, who cares what she is shouting about an old lady, the big guy is afraid of getting into trouble, so he walks far away.

My sister-in-law wanted to go out to persuade her, but I stopped her: "Whatever she does." It's not so cold now, whatever she wants! ”

"That's what you say about your mom? Wang Qiaozhen, even if I risk my life today, I can't let you take the exam! "Mom rushed in again, grabbed the book in my hand and tore it directly, I hurriedly grabbed it with her, the cover was too hard, only a few pieces were torn off, and she threw the book on the top of the stove lid, where it was already red, and sparks came out of the ground.

The sister-in-law screamed and rushed over to grab it, but most of the book had been burned, and only a few pages remained.

Mom was even more proud, grabbed all the books and threw them on the stove, although I desperately snatched back a few copies, but most of them all smashed on the top of the stove lid, and a small lid on the top flew out, and a math book went directly into the stove, and instantly burned into a flame, directly into ashes.

The sister-in-law couldn't care about anything, so she rushed over and snatched the books and notes back, and didn't care about the flames and inserted them into the basin of water beside her, but none of them were good.

My mind was buzzing, and by the time I could react, I had grabbed the books and sat on the floor crying.

These books were lent to me by Gao Tiansheng, and there was also the handwriting given to me by Li Shan and Wang Changjiang, and they were all burned to ashes.

My sister-in-law hugged me and cried: "I'm sorry Qiao'er, I didn't help you." ”

Mom said proudly: "This time the book is gone, I see if you can still take the exam, oh yes, give me the admission ticket!" She stretched out her hand and said, "Take it out quickly!" Don't force me to burn everything in your house here! ”
