Chapter 6 Burdened More than Love

Since the day of grandma's burial, everything seems to have returned to normal, the third uncle and the third aunt did not stay overnight, and returned to the county on the same day, Shen Xia thought to himself, the third uncle must not be used to living in the countryside. The third uncle patted Shen Xia on the shoulder before leaving, and told her that he hoped that she would study hard and be admitted to the school where the third uncle taught in the future. Shen Xia didn't answer him, just watched him leave, and couldn't even say goodbye.

The eldest sister was about to leave, she wanted to rush up and hug the eldest sister, and coquettish with her like she did when she was a child, but when she walked up to the eldest sister and shouted the eldest sister, the eldest sister glanced at her with some impatient eyes, replied with an expressionless "um" and got into the eldest brother-in-law's car, a little boy poked out of the car and grimaced at Shen Xia, it was the eldest sister's son Yu Chengcheng, Shen Xia ignored him, he felt bored and sat back in the car, Shen Xia stared at their car and gradually left, feeling like someone had poured a basin of cold water, stay where you are and don't move. She always thought that the eldest sister would not change, and always thought that the eldest sister would love her forever, it turned out that she had always overestimated her position in the eldest sister's heart, the eldest sister had her family, and her love would be shared with more people, how could she still be divided into her cousin's head? It's just that Shen Xia couldn't see these things clearly at that time, she was just white in her heart, and the eldest sister was getting farther and farther away from her.

Shen Xia hasn't seen the third brother for a long time, and I heard my mother say that he seems to have gone as an apprentice with someone else, he has never studied well himself, and it is good to be an apprentice with others, and it will be better to live a life with a craft in the future. It's just that the third brother is also ruthless and never calls home, it is the master that his parents called him to talk to, so that he can find him to talk, and later his parents are angry and say that they don't care about this unfilial son anymore, and Shen Xia is also the first time to lose the contact with the third brother for so long.

When the third brother came back, it was already the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on that day their family was preparing to have the so-called reunion dinner, the uncle's family, the third uncle's family, the three of them sat in the former courtyard of the Shen family, and the eldest sister belonged to the married daughter, so she did not come back to eat this reunion dinner. And the uncle's family, as always, sat in the courtyard with the third uncle and aunt and chatted with melon seeds, nothing more than to talk about how good her second brother's grades were, how smart people are, how to play others around, how stupid the children of whose family are or something, those piercing laughter reached the ears of Shen Xia who was washing dishes, she thought that if it weren't for the fact that these bowls were more than one piece and so expensive, she would definitely be unable to help but smash them on their heads. And Shen Xia's parents were busy in and out of the kitchen, preparing meals, and acting as they should be, Shen Xia never figured out why his parents always tolerated them so much and let them be bullied.

Shen Xia put the washed dishes on the table, wiped her hands on her clothes, and walked to the side of the third aunt, she was the first time to see the daughter of the third uncle's family, Shen Lei, she was only about three years old at that time, she was not afraid to look at Shen Xia with a pair of big black eyes, they all said that the third uncle's daughter looked the most similar to her when she was a child, I don't know why Shen Xia actually proposed to the third aunt that she wanted to hug the little sister, Li Xidi put the melon seed shell on the side, as if she was sarcastic intentionally or unintentionally, let her hug? Beware of the little bud being stained with bad luck. The third aunt glanced at her aunt and hesitated, but finally refused her request, Shen Xia is not yin, the third aunt is a teacher, she should be highly educated, why would she believe the nonsense of these aunts. Later, her mother told her that the third aunt did not believe that she would pass on the bad luck to her little sister, but was afraid of offending her aunt. Shen Xia sneered secretly, she raised her eyes and asked her mother, are you also afraid of offending that woman? As a result, her mother slapped her and said that she was so rude, no matter how you say it, it is your aunt, not to mention what can your child's family understand? Shen Xia looked at her mother, she didn't cry or make trouble, she used to think that she had parents, an eldest sister, and a third brother, she was happy, and this life was enough, but she never thought that the eldest sister would leave her, and her mother was becoming more and more mean to her, almost catching up with that woman. She suddenly remembered what the third brother had said before, fourth sister, you are my only relative. Shen Xia is also gradually turning white in her heart, and the third brother is her only relative. She remembered her mother's slap, and it turned out that her mother was nothing more than that.

When they were ready to eat, the third brother appeared, he opened the gate of the courtyard, and found that there was a large table of people, he didn't even say hello, and he didn't bother to bow and walked back to his room, Shen Xia wanted to go to the third brother, but the uncle sitting here threw the chopsticks, and reprimanded Shen Xia's father with a very indignant look on his face, what kind of good son he raised, and whether there were any of them elders in his eyes. And her aunt and her second brother Shen Qi also kept adding oil and vinegar to the side, saying how Shen Liang was, he simply didn't take them seriously, and it was the New Year, so he didn't even say hello. Shen Xia's parents watched their son's back without any words.

The third brother didn't take some of his own things out of the room after a while, and it seemed that he was about to go out, and when he passed their dinner table, the uncle suddenly stood up and slapped the table hard:

"Shen Liang! What is your attitude? Do you still have us elders in your eyes? ”

"Elders? Do you deserve it? Shen Liang glanced at Shen Xiangtian coldly, in his Shen Liang's eyes, these people were not even as good as strangers, and they dared to call them his elders? It's ridiculous, have they done their duty as elders?

"What do you mean by that? Do you think that if your wings are stiff, we won't be able to control you, right? Shen Xiangtian didn't know that he would suddenly answer like this, in this family, he has always had the final say, and no one has ever dared to contradict him like this.

"What qualifications do you have to control me?" Shen Liang never wanted to have a good face for them, usually they ignore themselves, and they won't have anything to do with them, but if they think they can manage themselves, it will be wrong.

"You rebel, he is your uncle, what do you mean that he is not qualified to care about you? Who doesn't have the right to care about you? Shen Xiangyong also stood up instantly, and followed the eldest brother to reprimand his son, this unfilial son, he usually doesn't study well, and he just messes around all day long, but he is getting more and more presumptuous, which really disappointed him, how could his son become like this.

"Dad, I don't want to quarrel with you today, you are my dad and I admit it, but what about him? What's it, in my Shen Liang's eyes, he's not even as good as a stranger! They claim to be elders, but have they ever looked like elders? Shen Liang was also very uncomfortable in his heart, it didn't matter if others didn't understand him, even his parents didn't understand him, did he want to do this? Didn't he try? But what did all his efforts accomplish in their eyes? Just because he has no grades, they all agree that he has never studied hard, he doesn't have to study, he hasn't even received a comforting look, he hasn't even gotten a word of encouragement, I don't know when it started, he has been numb, he has disdained all this, what family affection, what blood is thicker than water, he can only hehehehe.

"It's not that I'm talking about you, it's okay if you can't study, now you're even so bad at being a person, and you go outside with others to fool around, a few days ago, your second brother saw you go to the creek to fight with others, you don't learn anything, and you still learn to fight with others, Ah Liang, you're not too young, you have to be sensible, can't you be a good person, let your parents worry less?" Li Xidi persuaded Shen Liang in a righteous and awe-inspiring tone beside her, Shen Xia glanced at her coldly, people who didn't know thought how much she thought about Shen Liang, but Shen Xia knew that she was just trying to make the third brother have a fresh yin contrast with her precious son, if it was really good for the third brother, she would not embarrass their family everywhere.

"Yes, I'm not as good as your Archie, not as capable as your Archie, I don't understand and I'm not your son, what are you talking about?" Shen Liang glanced at her contemptuously, and didn't accept her affection, don't think that he didn't know that this woman was always changing ways to take advantage of their family.

"You! ......" Li Xidi was about to have a seizure, Shen Xia happened to be sitting next to her, she deliberately touched the bowl, and the soup in the bowl flowed out along the table and dripped into Li Xidi's dress.

"Alas, my new dress! Did you mean it, damn girl? Li Xidi glared at Shen Xia viciously, and hurriedly wiped her clothes with a tissue, while cursing regardless of her image, this dead girl must have deliberately soiled her clothes.

"Xiao Xia, why don't you hurry up and apologize to your aunt?" Shu Xiaoxiang, who was sitting on the other side, also hurriedly stepped forward to help Li Xidi sort out her clothes, how could she not know her daughter's thoughts, but, alas.

"Hmph" Shen Xia ignored them, and walked to the third brother's side alone, the third brother was not at home these days, how many grievances she hid in her heart, she just wanted to tell the third brother, she was only eleven years old after the New Year, but her mother asked her every day to help carry water and vegetables, cook rice and chop firewood, her shoulders were worn out by the flat shoulder, and she still gritted her teeth to do these things, she finally became white, why didn't the third brother want this home, because these were all done by the third brother before, and the third brother had more grievances in his heart than her, right? But who paid attention to him? She knew that her family was poor, and she wouldn't mind doing this, but as elders and parents, they never considered the feelings of their two brothers and sisters, and would only impose their adult ideas on their two brothers and sisters, the third brother never counted on them, and Shen Xia didn't count on them either.

"Third brother." Shen Liang looked at Shen Xia, his eyes softened a lot, he couldn't help but reach out and touch her dark and thin cheeks, he kept thinking that if he had the ability, he would definitely take her out of this house and never come back. Shen Xia felt the warmth of the third brother, and tears flowed out uncontrollably, but she didn't dare to cry, she cried, those people would definitely laugh very proudly in her heart.

"Fourth sister, the third brother will leave first, and I will come back to see you later." Shen Liang looked at the fourth sister who was crying, and felt more and more worried, he was also afraid of crying, afraid of crying here and being seen by them, so he had to leave here before crying.

"You dare! Never come back after leaving this house! Shen Xiangyong yelled at Shen Liang angrily, this rebel is really not enterprising, and he adds trouble to him all day long.

"This home? When did I ever have a home? In addition to a father and a mother, what else is worth calling it my home? Shen Liang laughed at himself, and wanted to step out of the door without looking back.

"Shen Liang, are you really so ignorant? Look at your parents, how old they are, and they have to work hard for you, and get up early and dark for the livelihood of this family, do you really care about nothing? Shen Xia glanced at Shen Xiangtian, the third brother was leaving, and she wouldn't stay herself, because she didn't want the third brother to be so uncomfortable here, and this person has always been a fake orangutan when he speaks, always acting like the head of the family, the whole family is the same, on the surface it sounds good, but behind the scenes, she doesn't know how to make fun of their family. Shen Liang still turned his back to Shen Xiangtian's roar, ignoring it.

"You're leaving, aren't you? Okay, if you go out of this door, we should have never given birth to your son! Everything you have in your hand is what we bought, you go! There you go! But you left all that stuff for me! None of them are allowed to be taken away! I won't give you this traitor even if I throw it into the sea! Shen Xiang's courage was like thunder, and he roared at Shen Liang.

"Don't want it, don't want it! Think I'm rare! Shen Liang threw the backpack he had just taken out of the room to the ground, yes, they bought all this, and he wouldn't ask for their things, but the one he was wearing was bought by himself, and he was qualified to stay, at this time he was extremely disappointed, it was all to this extent, his father still looked at Shen Xiangtian's family, and didn't pay attention to his feelings at all, he suppressed his tears, and said hysterically at them:

"From now on, I have nothing to do with the Shen family!"

"Third brother! Third Brother ......"

Shen Xia cried, staggered out to chase the third brother, Shu Xiaoxiang couldn't help crying when she saw their father and son making trouble like this, although no matter how rebellious he was, it was always the meat that fell from her! She wanted to pull him back, but she ran out and only pulled Shen Xia, Shen Liang ran away after a while, Shen Xia pushed Shu Xiaoxiang away, hugged the small tree at the door alone and cried loudly, she was very scared, afraid that she would never see the third brother again, afraid that she would face the long night alone at home alone in the future, she had never been so sad, why? Why did they force the third brother away?
