Chapter 6: Fate
I came out of the small mountain village in the first car.
From the village to the town outside, there are thirty miles of cliff roads. It's only two mountains in a straight line, but if you really want to run a sports car, it's a long way away.
In the car, I touched my wrist from time to time, and the shallow scar on my wrist was a little itchy, always reminding me of what happened last night.
Of course I'm not going to kill myself or anything because of what happened last night. I'm not that vulnerable. But I can also feel that I can't call the police, and I can't tell anyone. Just like Xing Ye's "Mermaid". The male protagonist called the police and said that he was kidnapped by a mermaid who is half human and half fish. Will others do anything other than think he's insane? If I had gone and told the police, I had been tied up by vines sticking out of the concrete wall, and I had been forced by a ghost. The police should have notified my mom and the psychiatric hospital by the way.
I didn't get back to my house until after 2 p.m. Although my family lives in the city, they are not very wealthy. There is only a small apartment with two bedrooms and one living room at home, and when I went home before, my sister and I had a room with bunk beds, which was similar to the kind of bed in college.
And this time, I went home, dragged my tired body, called Mom, and then wanted to go to the room to find clothes, take a shower and sleep. When you wake up, you may be back on August 30, the day before school starts. The absurdity of those days was really just a dream.
But as soon as my hand turned the lock of the door, I heard my sister shouting loudly inside: "Don't come in, don't come in!" Yes! Well! Get out! You go out first! β
I'm full of question marks. Then my mother's voice came from the kitchen: "Xiangting, you can watch TV in the living room now, and your brother-in-law is in the room." β
Like a puppet pulling a string, I turned to the kitchen a little bit and looked at my mother's back in the kitchen. What she meant was that my sister was doing that kind of thing with a man in the room right now? Why "go out first", that is not me at all, it is my brother-in-law who has never met?
I went to you, I came home exhausted to death, and I found my sister rolling on my bed with someone. I dare say they're in my bed. I sleep on the lower bunk, the upper bunk is relatively small, and relatively high, they dare to do it on the upper bunk, then they are not afraid of falling down J8 fold!
I really don't know how to say that kind of psychological gap. I leaned against the kitchen door and said to my mother, "Mom, I really don't want to be a teacher in that mountain village." It's true! β
"Really, really?" My mom didn't even look at me and said, "Go wash some ginger for me." Mom told you that this matter is not negotiable. Either you're not my daughter, or you're going back to being a teacher. After a few years, when you become an official wife, you will know that your mother is actually good for you. Wash the ginger, don't stand stupidly. β
I glared at my mom behind her, and my legs were still weak after a night of tossing and turning last night. "Anyway, I'm not going!"
"Tsk, you kid, do you know how much your tuition fee is for three years to study as a special post normal student? If you don't become a teacher, you're breaking the contract. If the contract is broken, the tuition and book fees for three years will be counted as bank loans. Your sister looks like she's going to get married, where did we get so much money to break the contract and repay the loan. And I'm telling you, Xiangting. My mom finally looked at me with a smile, "Someone has taken a fancy to you." After three years, Bao You will enter the best primary school in the city, and Bao You will be an official wife. It was your future brother-in-law's boss who said it. As for their family, they are all officials, and some are soldiers. The background is huge. I don't know where people have seen you, so I fell in love with you. Well, in the cabinet over there, there are gifts. People in the family also said that they hope that you will be a teacher in the future. β
I watched my mom stir-fry with wide eyes, and my saliva was about to run down in disbelief. Is it possible? Am I dreaming? Am I not a school girl? How could someone see me and give me a gift and order it? The most important thing is that the other party is still a family-like figure with a strong background. What else is there to be an official in the city, and there are also those who are soldiers......
My mind froze for a moment, closed my mouth, and asked, "Mom, is the person who gave the gift surnamed Jiang?" β
My mom smiled and said, "It seems that you have seen it." Your future brother-in-law said that the family was very powerful. You're going to have to give me a good chance and don't let the good men run away. β
My mother's thick lines didn't expect that I was already trembling, and I was so terrified that I didn't even hold the ginger in my hand, and fell directly into the basin. I yelled at my mother, "I'm not going to marry!" β
My mother took the spatula and waved it over: "Try not to marry?" You yourself pay for the state loan for the three years you studied! is so unfilial, it's not as good as your sister! β
"She's filial? You're stir-frying here, and she's rolling the sheets there! It's still my bed! Mother! Is there still a place for me in this home? β
"You, you!" My mom got angry and came at me with a spatula. I avoided it and rushed straight out of the house.
That night, I slept at my best friend's house. I told her what I had encountered in that little mountain village, and even she looked incredulous. She said: "Yin Xiangting, have you read too many novels, or do you want to be crazy about men." I have that kind of dream every day, and I'm not ashamed. I suggest, how much money do you have? I'll accompany you to find an NL to bud for you, and you won't be crazy here. β
My best friend also has a boyfriend, a classmate from college, and they all made an appointment on Sunday to go on a date. I was alone, and I was alone, even standing on the city streets, not knowing what to do. Sometimes, I still have a hallucination, will I be in a daze and walk, I will be hit by a car, and it will be good to travel back to the time when I was a teacher. At that time, my mother loved me, and my best friend didn't have a boyfriend, so she was inseparable from me.
I was caught in a flower shirt in front of the traffic on the shopping street. I was still waiting for the green light to cross the street, and with a pair of hands hugged me from behind and shouted, "Grandma, grandma, don't kill yourself!" I'll send you back! I'll send you back! β
He said as he dragged me into his car. As soon as I got in the car, I scolded: "Which eye of yours saw me kill myself!" You let me get off! β
Flower shirts are not good kinds, they lock the door when they get into the car, and they drive the car fast and say that they want to take me back to school.
"I finally came out, I won't go back! You let me get off! β
"Grandma, don't be so naΓ―ve. You are already a member of our Jiang family. When they died, they were all ghosts of the Jiang family. β
"What do you call me?" My tone softened a little. In that family, it seems that this is the only one who is more talkative, and he is about the same age as me, so maybe he can start with him.
Flower Shirt smiled: "Grandma." Grandma. You're married to one of my youngest grandfathers. It's my grandfather's younger brother. Even if your husband dies a long time ago, you are still a member of our family, I still have to call you grandma, and our family will take care of you. β
"Don't you think it's ridiculous? Why should I marry a dead man? It's still an old corpse in a mountain village that has been dead for so many years. β
Flower Shirt laughed: "Yes, he will crawl out of that grave at night." Haha, no, it's Sadako who crawled out, the old corpse in the mountain village, the one who was blistered. You must not drink the raw water there. Don't save money, buy mineral water. β
"Then you let me go. Stop and let me get off. β
Hua Shirt squinted at me again: "It's easy to agree to anything, but I can't agree to this." I'll send you back to school, don't you still have to teach the children tomorrow? Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to explain it to my mother. β
Flower shirt drives very fast, even if it is that kind of cliff road, he can maneuver flexibly. In the evening, I returned to the front door of the school. Hua Shirt was still raising the mobile phone in his hand and said, "Grandma, I have already added you to WeChat." Pass it. If you're going out in the future, send me a message and I'll pick you up if I'm fine. This place is inconvenient without a car. β
The flower shirt drove away, and here it became just me again.
I squatted at the school gate, holding my legs in my hands, burying my head, and crying. Fate! Now I kind of believe it. If I had been fine at home, I wouldn't have gone to my girlfriend's house, I wouldn't have gone to my girlfriend's house, I wouldn't have gone out on the street when no one was in her house, I wouldn't have met a flower shirt so coincidentally, and if I hadn't met him, I wouldn't have been caught here by him. I am back! Was it all predestined?
After crying for half an hour, I still sniffed and wiped away my tears. Even if it's fate, I won't accept it!
