Chapter 6 Unexpected Encounters
Everything is a new beginning, my daughter has entered a university in the field as she wished, the three-year mission of the swallow is completely over, the rest of the road is a new beginning, everything seems so vibrant and full of hope, I am waiting for the spring season of the coming year, I will demolish the old house at home, and rebuild a house designed by myself in the original place, no matter how heart-rending life gives you, we must have a heart full of hope.
There are always unexpected surprises and endless hopes in life. In the midst of boredom, whenever in the dead of night, my unsettled heart will wander around like a lonely ghost, I will read books, write diaries, find nearby WeChat friends, peep into other people's circle of friends, and add friends.
One night, I found a nearby person in WeChat, it was only 800 meters away from me, so close to the person I must know, with curiosity I added her as my WeChat friend, all the encounters in your life, is not accidental, but a kind of inevitability. It turns out that every time I add WeChat friends, nine times out of ten times I won't get a response from others, and one time I can't talk a few words, and I often delete them decisively. And now this neighbor quickly agreed to my request to add it shortly after I added it, and sent a smiley face.
That's how we met, she really lived not far from my house, a little farther away than the neighbors, but I had never met her, and I had almost never seen any other members of her family, except that she had heard of her mother, and had seen her a long time ago, and I didn't know anything else.
This is a girl twenty years younger than me, and she is a girl, but she is already married and divorced. I heard her introduce herself that she got married at the age of eighteen, and gave birth to a child the next year, and soon after the child was born, she chose to divorce because she couldn't stand her husband's domestic violence. After the divorce, she has been working in the south, and she has just returned home recently, she has become older, and the life of working outside is very tiring. She plans to go back to her hometown to find a partner for herself again, then get married and have children, and live peacefully at home with her husband and children, because she said that she really doesn't want to work outside anymore, and that kind of floating life is really sad.
The suffering she said made me have a good impression of her, and they all said that marrying a woman should marry a woman who has been injured, such a woman will cherish marriage and family more, I was completely brainwashed by this sentence, in the face of such a huge age disparity between us, I actually felt that there was nothing inappropriate, and in the future, we really didn't feel anything inappropriate.
That's how we got along, and we made our relationship public to the outside world. This is a girl who looks very responsible, looks harmless to humans and animals, does not fight or grab, and is very docile and obedient. But our relationship has attracted the gossip and criticism of many people around us, including my parents, who also strongly disagree with the interaction between us, and everyone's criticism is concentrated in one place, that is, because her mother is a woman who is extremely unresponsible, her mother is a woman who has been married three times, when she was young, her family was very poor, and she did not do her duty, but she was very beautiful, tall, and fair-skinned. But after all, she couldn't bear the hardships of life in the countryside, and soon after marriage, she returned to us with her husband, and made a living by working as a temporary worker, and the pressure of life made this man from a foreign land miserable, and finally went to the point of no return to theft, when the child was about to be born in a month, this man was sentenced to several years for theft.
Since then, this woman's orphan and widow have become even more miserable, and in desperation, she once again chose to marry a foreigner man, a poor man who can't get a wife, unmarried, in his thirties, and makes a living by selling coolies, although this woman already has a child who is only a few months old, but for such a foreigner who can't find a wife, it is also the biggest beautiful thing in the world, just like that, this woman with her child of only a few months once again chose to marry a foreigner man.
The girl sitting in front of me was born to her mother and her mother's second husband, after marriage, they also chose to return to us to live, still the same as before, and the married life of the first husband is simply a copy, fortunately, after a few years of hard work, their life has improved a little, the change of life has made the distressed couple do not choose to cherish each other, but all kinds of hidden nature in the bones are gradually stimulated and completely exposed.
Her mother was already restless, and the improvement of her life made her even more restless, belonging to the same type of woman as Ye'er, her father belonged to the lowest level of society, and the improvement of his life made him fall in love with leisure and hard work, and he was addicted to alcohol. The couple, whose life had just begun to improve, began to quarrel and fight all day and night, and eventually, her mother found a home to follow, and the successful golden cicada came out of her shell, leaving a mess and three underage children for this foreign man.
I heard my mother say that when their siblings were a few younger, they could eat enough, and that was their greatest wish. Because her father was going out to work part-time to earn money to support the family, and her mother chose to marry someone else, no one cared whether they had food to eat or whether they were full.
The misery and misery of childhood life made me more determined that the girl sitting in front of me needed my extra care and love, and I felt that this was my responsibility and my obligation. But all kinds of criticism from the people around me did not stop abruptly because of my firmness, but all kinds of gossip came one after another, my daughter called, saying that this woman was taking drugs, and even Ye'er, who had not heard from her for a long time, sent a text message, saying that the woman I was looking for was extremely imserious and also took drugs.
Drug use, for a person like me, who has lived on campus since I was a child, is simply impossible to believe. I always naively thought that drugs would only appear in movies and television, that there could be no drugs around us, let alone anyone who took drugs, and that other people's criticism was nothing more than a kind of slander without facts. As for the text message sent by Ye'er, it is more likely to be a rumor made out of nothing, in order to vent her dissatisfaction and resentment that I did not accept her home.
In this way, we walked towards the palace of marriage amid all kinds of criticism from others. I know that many people around me have all sorts of emotions about our union, but the most are the jokes that look at us, and they secretly count the years we've gone through behind our backs to see how many years we'll be able to survive together!
