Chapter 9: Unspeakable Suffering
On the porch. After a while, you say, "Qin'er, do you trust me?" ”
I said, "Why does my brother ask that?" ”
You say, "Before you know it, it's been a few days since you've been home." Saw many things. ”
I look down at the teacup in my hand, avoiding your gaze.
You say, "When I get home, there's a question I've always wanted to ask you." ”
My heart skipped a beat, and I was nervous. I said, "What is it?" ”
You say, "Qin'er, I want to ask you, have you been happy in the Cui family all these years?" ”
I was taken aback, I didn't expect you to ask this. My eyelashes flickered slightly. I said, "How can you not be happy?" The whole family took good care of me and treated me very well. Without the upbringing of the Cui family, how could I grow up. ”
You shake your head. You say, "Don't you trust me?" ”
I said, "There's no distrusting brother." ”
You look me in the eye and say, "Are you telling the truth?" Then, when you came back from the feast, why did you lock yourselves in your room alone and weep sadly? ”
I was taken aback. You say, "When I came in, the incense in the furnace had not yet burned out, and there were tears on your eyelashes." ”
I bowed my head and said nothing.
You say, "Qin'er, sister, will you tell me?" How can I help you? ”
A bitter rush to the throat. My tears began to roll in my eyes. I turned my head, lowered my eyes, and said nothing.
Say, "Since you won't speak, I'll speak for you." Big brother, how long has he been bullying you like this? ”
My tears finally broke through the embankment and ran down my cheeks. You sigh slightly and look at me. My tears were falling down my face.
You say, "Don't be sad, sister. I have seen all your grievances, and not only this time today. He has made you feel scared and helpless for a long time. ”
I choked up and said, "It's been almost two years." ”
You say, "Auntie doesn't care?" ”
I said, "I told my aunt." My aunt said it didn't matter, it was just a joke between brother and sister. You say, "Do you think it's a joke?" I shook my head.
"You didn't tell your father either." You ask.
I nodded.
You say, "Why don't you tell your father?" It's not right for Big Brother to do this. When the daughter's family encounters such rudeness, no matter who the other party is, they should not endure it silently. It's about your life, not child's play. You should say it to your father. ”
I said, "But what about after that." My father would punish my eldest brother, and my aunt would hate me for it. The eldest brother may be kicked out and never come back. I said, "Well, we grew up together." He has taken a lot of care of me since I was a child. After all, he didn't do too much embarrassment, maybe it was really too much of a joke, maybe it was just a moment of confusion. How could I ruin his life so easily? Ruined the happiness of my aunt's life? The eldest brother, no matter what, is the eldest son of his father. And I'm ......"
You said: "You are the most cherished daughter of the Cui family, and you are the daughter who is more valued than your own daughter." You are not an outsider. ”
I look up at you with tears in my eyes.
You look at me. You pursed your lips. You say, "Okay. I'll take care of that. You say, "Qin'er, don't worry, from today onwards, I promise that this kind of thing will never happen again." ”
I looked at your expression, and I said anxiously: "No, no, brother, don't ....... it"
You say, "Don't worry." I won't. I won't tell my father, and I'll save face for my eldest brother. I won't touch him, even a hair. I have my own way. ”
You say, "Qin'er, listen, your father entrusted you to my family on his deathbed, and your parents have always watched over you from heaven and everyone in our family. Father and I want you to be happy and carefree at home. Every night, like tonight. I hope you will be like tonight for the rest of your life, for the rest of your life. You say, "This is our Cui family's commitment to the Chen family, and it is our responsibility." ”
You say, "I don't know about this, but now that I have seen it, I must not ignore it, and I must not let Uncle Chen and Mrs. Tai feel sad and uneasy in heaven." ”
You say, "Trust me. This pain, for you, is over from tonight. ”
