6 A heavy past

The name Du Yalin was given to her by Du Yalin's grandmother. Since Du Yalin was born, her grandmother has supported her.

When Du Yalin grew up to be ten years old, her mother Du Yi took Du Yalin to live with her from her grandmother in the countryside, because her grandmother began to be in poor health and was often sick in bed, unable to take care of Du Yalin.

Before that, Du Yalin had never seen her mother Du Yi in person, only in photos, and her grandmother often comforted Du Yalin's young, lonely and sensitive heart, saying that her mother was trying to make more money to let her live a good life. Because of the warm company of her grandmother, Du Yalin's personality is not distorted because of the lack of love, but is lively and cheerful, and endearing.

Sometimes Du Yalin will innocently ask her grandmother: "Do Mom and Dad love me?" Grandma always laughed and didn't answer.

Du Yalin knew that she had no father since she was a child, she thought that she lacked fatherly love, and then her mother Du Yi would make up for her with more double love, but no, at first there was just indifference, and finally she knew that her mother Du Yi had no more anger and hatred for her.

is about to live with her mother, Du Yalin began to rejoice and look forward to it, but in the end it was empty joy. Her mother hired a nanny to take care of Du Yalin, and she felt that she was living with the nanny aunt, not her mother. During the day, Du Yalin did not see her mother several times, she always left early and returned late - she had already gone out before Du Yalin got up in the morning, and she waited for Du Yalin to go to bed at night before coming home.

After several days of this, Du Yalin finally realized that her mother was avoiding her. One morning, Du Yalin deliberately got up earlier than her mother, and she wanted to seize the opportunity to talk to Du Yi! Du Yalin sat on the sofa, staring intently at her mother's room. She was expecting the door to open, expecting her mother to come out and be happy to see her.

When Du Yi opened the door and saw Du Yalin sitting on the sofa, she was surprised for a moment, then glanced at Du Yalin indifferently and walked away. Du Yalin felt sad because she saw disgust and rejection in Du Yi's eyes. Du Yalin immediately jumped off the sofa, tiptoed behind her, and whispered, "Mom...... I...... I ......" Du Yalin wrung her fingers in nervousness.

Du Yi turned around and yelled impatiently: "Don't follow me, I'm annoyed when I look at you!" Accompanied by Du Yi's angry yelling and the loud sound of her closing the bathroom door, Du Yalin stood in front of the door, her head blank, startled by Du Yi's roar and the deafening sound of the door closing.

The nanny aunt told Du Yalin not to go to Du Yi's side. Why can't she get close to her mother? Du Yalin is stubborn. She pretended to be sick and wanted to deceive her mother Du Yi's sympathy, pity, and concern, but Du Yi just looked at her indifferently and picked up her bag and went out. Du Yalin waited all day with hope, without waiting for Du Yi to buy her medicine or take her to the hospital in person. Du Yalin thought that Du Yi saw through her trick of pretending to be sick and didn't care about her, but one day Du Yalin was really sick and had a high fever, Du Yi was still indifferent, and it was all the nanny and aunt who were busy before and after.

At that time, Du Yalin understood that her mother Du Yi really didn't care about her, whether she was sick or not. Even though they are related by blood, Du Yi treats Du Yalin like an irrelevant stranger. Du Yi just fulfilled the obligation to support Du Yalin, gave Du Yalin food and shelter, provided study, and paid a fixed amount of money to the bank card every month, so he refused to give charity to warm Du Yalin, only cold words and indifferent attitude.

There was a knot in Du Yalin's heart - why did her mother treat her like this? The knot was like a foreign body squeezing into her immature body, tearing at her young heart, and the pain was incessant.

Du Yalin finally grew to the age of thirteen. Thirteen years old is a half-year-old age that understands everything. On the day her mother broke out, Du Yalin's depression was untied, and at the same time Pandora's box was opened, torturing each other.

That night, Du Yalin was woken up by the sound of glass smashing on the floor, drowsy and drowsy, and after a moment of trance, she pricked up her ears to listen, the sound came from the living room, accompanied by faint staccato crippling cries and hoarse roars.

Du Yalin was completely sleepy, turned over and got out of bed, tiptoed to open the door, through the crack in the door, she saw that her mother Du Yi was not dressed up beautifully, but was wearing a cloak, throwing things frantically, tearing things, the floor was full of glass shards of wine bottles and scattered pieces of paper, the ground was full of mess, and the air was filled with alcohol.

Du Yi was crying bitterly while throwing and tearing things, and roared in his mouth: "It's all you!" It's ruined my life! Why do you continue to plague me? Why? It was the first time for Du Yalin to see her mother, who had lost her mind and was on the verge of collapse, and Du Yi's appearance and behavior at this time made her feel scared. Du Yalin trembled, but did not close the door to dodge, but stood at the door of the room in a daze, looking at the crazy and grief-stricken woman through the crack in the door.

Du Yi suddenly turned his head and saw Du Yalin inside the crack in the door. Du Yi was looking into Du Yalin's eyes, and suddenly the whole person became angry—she was drunk and delirious, as if she saw Du Yalin as another person. She looked hideous and roared: "It's you! It's you! You deceived me of my feelings...... I shouldn't have fallen in love with you bastard so easily, loved you so madly, but what about you? You don't love me, you don't love me, you forsake me, you forsake me, you conceive your child...... I actually hurt my family and gave birth to your evil seed for a scum like you, and I can't wait to cut you with a thousand knives...... If you die, stay away from me, why are you still pestering me now? Why ......"

When she heard the word "evil seed" come out of Du Yi's mouth, Du Yalin was shocked, she opened the door and cried loudly: "Is this why you have treated me indifferently for so many years? The child is innocent, I am innocent! Du Yalin's eyes were wide open, full of tears, and her chest rose and fell violently.

Du Yi shook her heavy head, as if she wanted to sober herself, she stumbled towards Du Yalin, bent down and grabbed Du Yalin's arm, shook it violently, and shook Du Yalin's teeth rattle, and scolded Du Yalin: "You look too much like him, I am disgusted and upset when I see you, why did I give birth to you as a sinful seed!" You have the filthy blood of that bastard in you. After saying that, Du Yi pushed Du Yalin away, Du Yalin's head hit the wall, Du Yi got up and walked back to his room.

Du Yalin couldn't feel the pain in her head, because her heart was being torn apart, and the pain was terrible.

After that, they lived under the same roof like real strangers.
