Chapter 4 Childhood Memories It's like yesterday

Time flies, and the little girl Shen Xia is now a freshman in high school, and it all seems like yesterday.

When she entered the classroom, her place was still the last one in the last row, she didn't like to talk to others, and she didn't like to be disturbed by others, she liked this position since she went to school, she could see everything outside, and she could also listen to the teacher quietly, her personality was very cold, although her grades were among the best, teachers and classmates didn't like to get close to her, maybe it was the reason why she was quiet and easy to learn, even if she just listened to the lectures in class, she could get the first place in the whole grade if she never talked to anyone after class. Each of her homeroom teachers has made home visits to her, trying to find out the reason for her loneliness, but the family also said that she has been a very cold person since she was a child, and even her family is not very close, except for her parents, her third brother, and her eldest sister, she will not talk to others more than ten words. The head teacher also gave her a psychological evaluation, but she has the characteristics of "anti-psychology", that is, she has a strong sense of self and can resist the psychological treatment given to her by others, and even the psychologist is temporarily helpless against her situation.

So the teachers gave up on her treatment, and she went, and she was happy to be quiet. She knows that she has to work hard to achieve the ultimate goal, and her dream is to be admitted to the best economic university in China. Since she was a child, she secretly swore that she would definitely use money to smash their family in the future, and she would smile and see the family kneeling in front of her and crying, she Shen Xia did what she said. On the day she got the high school admission letter, her heart moved, she could finally leave the cage of the Shen family, even if it was summer or winter vacation, she didn't plan to go home, but went out to work part-time, she knew that her family was poor, so she never asked the family to have pocket money, occasionally the third brother came to see her, would give her some pocket money, and she only accepted what the third brother gave. Her parents just paid her tuition, and she has been earning odd jobs since junior high school, and she has developed the habit of not relying on anyone.

This class is a self-study class arranged by the school, many students in the class are flirting, or playing with their mobile phones, Shen Xia has done all the subject questions, she touched the textbook in her hand, she really didn't expect that she would be in the first year of high school so soon, that family, she won't let them suffer for too long, she and the third brother will let them taste the hardships one by one.

She still remembers that the family moved to the town shortly after the eldest sister got married, and took away the adopted little sister and grandmother, they no longer went back to the courtyard of the Shen family, and the courtyard was left to Shen Xia's family, Shen Xia is not uncommon, she still lives in her own cottage, she did not move to the yard where the family once lived, and the third brother did not move, and in the end only his parents moved over.

When she was seven years old, her parents were often not at home, and the third brother was not there, the third brother was a gangster, and he didn't study well in school, and he often went to fight with others at a young age, and rarely went home, she was alone at home at that time, and at night she desperately held back the fear in her heart, and held back the tears that wanted to cry, she told herself that she couldn't cry, crying is admitting defeat, she will definitely not admit defeat, the long night, and finally she gradually fell asleep in the fear of the night, and she doesn't remember how many times she has lived this kind of day, but whenever she thinks about it, Her fists would clench uncontrollably, and her heart would become very uncomfortable.

At that time, my mother asked my grandmother to come back and help watch her, but my grandmother was contemptuous and disdainful. Will they not be sent to the end in the future? Grandma firmly said that she had an eldest son, and that the eldest son would wait for her until the end of her life. Mother said, the eldest son is a son, isn't the second son a son? All right. Since then, I have never asked my grandmother for anything, my grandmother was helping my uncle feed the pigs at that time, and my uncle raised more than a dozen pigs and my grandmother was feeding them alone, and she also helped take care of the little sister that my eldest sister picked up on her wedding day, Shen Xia knew that she was a broom star in her grandmother's mouth, so how could she expect her to love herself? Yes, grandma is willing to help the uncle raise pigs and take care of the sister who is not related by blood, and will not look at her more.

She is never rare, she never expects her grandmother to love her, nor does she expect that the family will be good to her, she thinks, feng shui will always take turns, and it is best that their family can have the last laugh. Grandma would sometimes take that little sister back to her hometown and proudly say to Shen Xia's parents. And Shen Xia will always find a way to make that little sister cry, but once her grandmother said that she wanted to give her little sister away, and Shen Xia, who was stubborn and rarely shed tears, actually cried and didn't let her grandmother give her little sister away, and she also said that she wouldn't bully her little sister in the future, and she wasn't too innocent at that time. Maybe the little sister was destined to enter the fate of the Shen family from the moment she was born, she originally liked the little sister very much, she looked so cute, but it was a pity that she grew up in that family, the family she hated, so Shen Xia has always excluded her, and refused to accept her from the heart, she robbed her of what she had, and now that I think about it, the behavior at that time was a little ridiculous, but it didn't matter, as long as she could take revenge on that family, she didn't care about these at all, the more they loved the little sister, the more she had to bully her, Xiaomei also hated her and hated her, but in the end she still called her sister, she didn't know if she was right or wrong, she only knew that she hated that family.

Finally when she was ten years old, the patriarchal grandmother was seriously ill and bedridden, and the grandmother who said that she didn't need her second son to send her to old age was finally thrown back to her hometown by the uncle's family on the pretext that she was busy with business and had no time to take care of her, and lay back in the cottage where she slept before, she was so sick that she couldn't get out of bed, it was Shen Xia's mother Shu Xiaoxiang who took care of all her daily life, while her eldest son's family never set foot in front of her hospital bed, and every time she just pretended to buy something and came back and threw it on the table saying that it was for grandma, And he was gone. Shen Xia looked at the pile of things they had placed on the table and thought that if her mother didn't give it to her grandmother, she wouldn't be able to eat what her eldest son bought. Whenever Shu Xiaoxiang remembered everything she had done in front of her grandmother's bed, she sighed to her: I knew this was the case, why bother at the beginning, I was busy for my uncle's family for most of my life, and in the end, I still had to send my second son to your death. Shen Xia's grandmother seemed to know that she had done something wrong before, she couldn't speak, she squeaked at Shu Xiaoxiang all day long, scratched her hands and feet, and shed tears, her mother said that she was regretting it.

When her grandmother was sick, Shen Xia and the third brother never went to see her, and they wouldn't even bring her food, and her father came home from out of town and saw their brother and sister like this, so he was furious and said that his brother and sister were not filial, and that was your grandmother. The third brother said that she was not worthy. Shen Xia also nodded on the side, looking at his father stubbornly. Later, the third brother was beaten by his father and ran away from home, even though he was only 15 years old at the time. Shen Xia has a very good relationship with the third brother, since the eldest sister got married, she even felt that she and the third brother were dependent on each other, she was bullied at school, and the third brother always stood up for her. He runs away from home, but he will tell her where he will go. The third brother's temper is also very stubborn, although he usually follows those gangsters and doesn't learn anything, but he knows better than anyone else that his parents are pressed to death by the uncle's family and dare not resist, he is always used by that family as a stepping stone for the second brother Shen Qi, he doesn't want to stay in this family for a long time. The third brother left, and the family was very anxious, and it took several days to find him in the next village, and his parents kept beating and scolding him. The third brother has long been numb to this, he used to resist, but he didn't even bother to resist later.

Later, the third brother told Shen Xia that in this family, he had never felt the happiness of his family, nor the warmth of family affection, and he was only beaten and scolded and looked down upon since he was a child. He also wanted to work hard to read good books, but his brain was very limited, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't read well, his parents never took his efforts seriously, every time in front of many people, he called him stupid and stupid, never considered his feelings, and refused to even give a word of encouragement and comfort. So he gave up himself and followed others to make a living, and he felt that he was probably not the material for reading at that time. He always couldn't help but shed tears when he talked to Shen Xia about this, and the third brother only dared to cry in front of her, and he usually didn't want to cry to others. That was the first time Shen Xia saw a big boy cry, and he was her favorite third brother. At that time, she was still young and ignorant, but she understood the third brother, and would rather be scolded by her family and stand on the same line as the third brother, the third brother always said to her, fourth sister, you are my only relative.
