Zi Jue looked at the two people in the room blankly, her little hands tightly grasped the corners of her mother's clothes, and looked at the strange man - that was her father, her mother said; Although her face was dumbfounded, her heart was full of joy, seeing her father for the first time.

She didn't listen carefully to what the adults said, and she didn't understand it, and her little heart was completely immersed in the joy of seeing her father, and she was also looking forward to her father coming to hug her.

Wan Shi looked at the man in front of him: "No, no......"

"It's also a good thing to leave you, and there are all kinds of cheap things to go one step further, and it won't make people pick on you too much;" Chi Zifang watched his wife speak gently, just like when he and her held hands with Hua Qianyue in the past: "As for Zijue, I will arrange someone to take good care of her here." ”

Wan's lips trembled: "I haven't done anything wrong, since I married into the Chi family, I have been teaching my husband and children, farming and weaving, taking care of housework, and being filial to my in-laws; Why, why?! ”

Chi Zifang looked at her: "You and I are not all the way, and our fate is over." And the book is here, you can pack up your things and leave today. After speaking, he stood up and saluted her: "The lady has worked hard for many years, and I thank my husband here." ”

After finishing the ceremony, he got up and asked softly, "But is there anything else?" I'm going to take a break if I have nothing to do, because I'm going to have to rush back to Beijing early tomorrow morning, and it's really tiring to go back and forth. ”

Wan's hand holding and leaving the book trembled like a leaf in the wind, and her hand was worse than a dry leaf because of labor: "You send me like this, and I will occupy the same as the six outs?" Xianggong, I've been waiting for you for three years, do you know how I persist every day, just thinking of you and looking forward to your heart......"

Tears flowed down her face and fell on Zijue's little hands.

After her mother became excited, she snuggled into her mother's arms and stopped looking at her father, feeling that her father was a little annoying; Now that her mother was crying, Zi Jue raised her hand to wipe her mother's tears, but the tears were wiped more and more, and she turned her head to look at her father: "Don't bully my mother!" ”

The milky voice exchanged for a glance at Chi Zifang, of course he didn't have much affection for this daughter who was born after he left and only saw it now; As for the child's words: how can a small child be put in his eyes, naturally ignore it.

Zijue felt indifference and contempt in her father's eyes, and everything made her little heart twitch and hurt a little; Her eyes were red too, and tears began to accumulate but she didn't cry.

Chi Zifang ignored his daughter and didn't open his mouth, just looked at his wife with his eyes, let her continue, let her cry and fall to the ground, and let her catch his robe, but in the end he only gave a gentle sentence: "We are not all the way, let's get together and disperse." "From beginning to end, he never mentioned six outs or anything like that, he didn't divorce his wife, he just ended up as husband and wife.

Wan, who had been crying for an hour with his daughter in his arms, finally felt like ashes, knowing that Chi Zifang had already made up his mind: "Daughter, why do you want to keep her in the ancestral house, why don't you take her with you?" "After all, how you are is not the most important thing, the most important thing is your daughter.

Chi Zifang hesitated: "It's inconvenient." My teacher intends to marry his daughter to me, and I am also in love with him, so it is inconvenient to bring Zijue over. ”

Wan was stunned, and she couldn't imagine that it was this reason: her hard work, supporting her husband to study and gain fame - everything she paid was not worth a word of affection! What does it mean to not be a one-way person? Why didn't the Chi family say this to her parents when they proposed marriage, it was just an excuse.

Seeing Wan's appearance, Chi Zifang paused and told the truth: "Zi Jue's words in the past will make 'her' be wronged; You have always understood my heart, and you don't need me to say more. ”

What a deep meaning, how thoughtful: it will make "her" feel wronged - so, your own daughter can also be not?! Wan Shi had all kinds of complaints in her heart, but her temperament was supple, and she had done her best to cry just now, but at this time, she didn't know how to let Chi Zifang know her anger.

Moreover, the husband is the outline of the wife, the husband is the sky above the wife's head, she has always been timid and does not dare to attack the pool. Now even if she complains and worries about her daughter, she can only say one sentence: "Daughter, leave it to me." ”

Zijue, who didn't understand a lot of things, finally understood one thing in the end: her father didn't want her, for another "her".

On that day, Zijue and her mother left a place she was familiar with and stayed in a somewhat dilapidated courtyard at night; At home, there was no rice, no oil, no money, and that winter was so cold in Zijue's memory.

****

Zi Jue's body was amazingly hot but she was screaming cold, and the wounds on her back had not yet scabbed; Wan's only knew how to cry when she hugged her daughter, and she didn't even dare to ask Wen Si for money to see a doctor: because she knew that the result of asking for it would only be in exchange for Wen Si's beating of Zijue again, and she would not give her a penny to see a doctor.

hugged Zijue all night, using her own body temperature to warm her daughter, and also using her body to give her daughter cool, Wan could only pray to God to bless her daughter.

Zi Jue woke up and stroked Wan's face with her little hand: "Mother, don't be afraid, don't be afraid." She knew that her mother could not live without her, so she had been struggling in half sleep, just to touch her mother's face and not want to hear her sad cry again.

This year, Zijue was five years old, and Wen Si renamed her Xiaoyu, saying that the girl should have a girl's name. And Wan's remarriage to Wen Si was only more than seven months ago; Before Wan's marriage, it was because he learned that Chi Zifang had a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

****

Xiaoyu threw herself on Wan's body and cried: "Don't beat my mother!" ”

Wen Si raised the whip viciously and whipped it down: "If you don't beat your mother, I'll kill you as a slut, if it's not for me Wen Si kindly accepted your mother, you would have died a long time ago, and you still want to eat for nothing - you didn't earn enough money today and still want to eat, you want to eat me poor, eat me, don't you?" ”

The whip landed on Xiaoyu's small body, and the tattered clothes became even more tattered, and quickly soaked in blood.

Wan desperately held Xiaoyu in his arms: "Don't beat my daughter, I won't agree to you selling Xiaoyu to that kind of place; Either I die, or we leave! ”

Ning Shi twisted over and hugged Wen Si's arm and gave him a look: "Forget it, forget it, the master is also tired, isn't he?" Let's drink saliva - if you don't sell it, you can't raise her for nothing, our family doesn't have extra food; Why don't you let her go to work, that's all right? ”

Xiao Yu stared at Ning's eyes, and pulled up Wan's who was about to kneel at Wen Si's feet: "I, go." "Next to her upright little body is a mother who is crying softly.

This year, Xiaoyu was seven years old; And seven-year-old Xiaoyu's back is full of hideous scars.

Since Wan married into the Wen family, Wan no longer mentioned the matter of the Chi family, not only because of his heartache but also because of Wen Si's whip: he did not allow Wan to mention half of the Chi character.

And since the Wan family left with Xiaoyu, the Chi family has disappeared forever in the lives of Wan and Xiaoyu, as if those people have never existed in the lives of their mother and daughter.
