Chapter 19: The Spirit Behind the Scenes
Xiaohui looked at Li Mengyao, who was lying on the ground, blood constantly flowing from her forehead, and she was very scared.
She seemed to see her father lying in a pool of blood again, even if her mother covered her eyes in time at that time, but the scene she saw at that glance became a shadow for her whole life.
She didn't know if Li Mengyao was dead like her father, but she had to find someone to save her, and she shouted helplessly:
"Help! Help me! ”
She shouted more than a dozen times, and was finally heard by passers-by who helped her call the ambulance.
The ambulance took Li Mengyao away, and Xiaohui staggered home as if she had collapsed.
After returning home, Xiaohui didn't tell her mother anything, she naively thought that she had solved everything and didn't need to worry about her mother anymore.
The next day, however, she was called to the office.
Pushing open the office door, there was a room of people standing inside: the head teacher, her mother, Li Mengyao's mother, and the girls who followed Li Mengyao yesterday.
When they saw her come in, they all stared at her with their eyes, but their eyes were different.
I only heard Li Mengyao's mother shouting with red eyes: "You murderer, finally here?" ”
The teacher hurriedly grabbed her to prevent her from being excited for a while, and went over directly to do it.
Xiaohui's mother also hurriedly ran over to protect her daughter.
This gentle woman was a little angry for the first time, and she said, "Mother Mengyao, the matter has not been asked clearly, please don't say that!" ”
"Don't say that? So how to say? Li Mengyao's mother said emotionally, "These classmates can testify that it was your daughter who pushed my daughter down, and you still want to deny it?" ”
Xiaohui's mother looked directly into Xiaohui's eyes and asked with a serious expression: "Xiaohui, you tell your mother the truth, is it Meng Yao that you pushed?" ”
Xiaohui looked at her mother and didn't make a sound.
"Tell the truth!" Mom shouted sternly, but there was crying in her voice.
Xiaohui shook and nodded hesitantly.
I saw my mother slap her in the face, crying and shouting, "What do I usually tell you? Didn't you stop causing trouble? Have you listened to my words? ”
Xiaohui was slapped in the face, and she couldn't help but shed her eyes, and whispered to justify: "They hit me first." ”
Xiaohui's mother followed the direction of her daughter's finger and looked at the female classmates.
Several female classmates hurriedly shook their heads, and a girl said: "We didn't have it, we just saw her on the way out of school, Meng Yao may have said two unpleasant words, who knew that Zhang Xiaohui had such a big temper, and she pushed Meng Yao down when she came up." ”
Several other girls also hurriedly chimed in.
"Humph! I've done something bad myself, and now I want to push it on others? Sure enough, what kind of father teaches what kind of daughter! Li Mengyao's mother sarcastically said on the side,
"Okay, don't play a bitter trick for me here, my daughter is lying in the hospital now, she needs surgery, and she is about to take the college entrance examination, and I don't know how much study time will be delayed.
Say, how do you compensate? ”
Xiaohui's mother took a deep breath, looked up and said to Li Mengyao's mother: "Don't worry, all the expenses of Mengyao's hospitalization will be paid by me, as for studying, let Xiaohui go to Mengyao to make up lessons every night, and she will definitely not fall behind." ”
"Let her make up for it? My daughter is now shadowed by your daughter and doesn't want to see her at all. Li Mengyao's mother is unrelenting.
Xiaohui's mother frowned and said, "Then what do you say?"
"Hmph, it's easy to do, I am busy with the child's father at work and have no time to take care of her, so we hired a nurse, as for learning, I don't worry about it, so I specially hired a tutor.
The operation fee, nurse fee, and tutoring fee add up, almost 100,000 yuan, for the sake of the two of us being neighbors, I will give you a zero, 100,000 yuan! ”
"One hundred thousand?" Xiaohui's mother couldn't believe it.
"What? Too much? Don't want to take it? That's okay, then we'll call the police and let the police deal with it, don't forget, your family has a criminal record, Dad almost went to jail at the beginning, and now his daughter is going to go in again, it's not good to say it, right? ”
When Xiaohui's mother heard this, she gritted her teeth and nodded in agreement: "Okay, it's just 100,000, but I can't come up with so much money for a while now, you wait for me for a few days." ”
"Then don't keep me waiting too long."
After speaking, Li Mengyao's mother glared at the two of them and left arrogantly.
Xiaohui's mother nodded apologetically to the teacher and took Xiaohui out of the office.
The two of them came to a secluded place, and their mother stroked Xiaohui's swollen face, and said to Xiaohui: "I'm sorry, my mother is too heavy, but if you don't hit it harder, she won't let you go." ”
Xiaohui lowered her head and didn't make a sound, just shook her head.
Seeing this, my mother comforted Xiaohui and said: "Mom believes in you, it's not your hand that moved first, but I told you before that our family is different now, and we don't have your father, so we can't afford to mess with others, so we can only endure it."
You don't have to worry about money, mom will find a way, you hurry back to the classroom and study with peace of mind! ”
Xiaohui still returned to the classroom in silence, but Lin Guiyi could obviously feel the complicated emotions in Xiaohui's heart.
She wanted to rebel against her mother's words that made her suffer in silence, and she was worried that her mother would do stupid things because of money.
After a day at school, she finally returned home after school in the afternoon.
But the moment I opened the door with the key, I was stunned by the scene at home.
I saw that many of the things in the living room were broken and thrown on the ground, and there were a few clothes spread on the ground, Xiaohui recognized that this was the clothes that her mother was wearing during the day today.
The bedroom door was not closed, and a strange noise came from inside.
"No, don't do that...... You can't do this! ”
"You obediently obeyed me, and when I went back, I told the child's mother that you owe our family the 100,000 yuan, and we will write it off.
Don't forget, your family still owes so many foreign debts, plus our family's 100,000, can you pay it back as a woman?
As long as you listen to me and serve me well, not only do I not need you to repay our family's money, but I can also help you pay off your other debts. ”
"No...... You do this...... How can you be worthy of Meng Yao's mother. ”
"Humph! That tigress, I've had enough of her for a long time, you don't know, the first day I moved here from your family, I liked you, do you know how long I've been waiting for this day? ”
The voices coming from the house are all very familiar to Xiaohui, a relative who accompanies her day and night, and an uncle she trusted the most when she was a child.
But now, in the face of such a scene, she didn't know what to do at all, so she could only stand there stupidly, unable to move forward or retreat.
So she didn't notice the sound of the door opening from behind, and the sound of approaching footsteps.
"Ahh
A scream brought Xiaohui back to her senses, and she saw a figure like a gust of wind running into their bedroom.
Then, the voices inside became even more chaotic, with screams, name-calling, and crying.
Cry?
It's mom crying!
Xiaohui hurriedly ran into the bedroom, and she saw her mother's clothes torn and hanging on her body.
She was dragged by Li Mengyao's mother by her hair, and the force was so great that she seemed to pull off her scalp.
Xiaohui hurriedly stepped forward and wanted to break Li Mengyao's mother's hand away, but when her mother saw her for the first time, she was stunned in place, forgetting even the struggle, and a trace of humiliation and despair flashed in her eyes.
When Li Mengyao's mother saw Xiaohui appear, the anger in her eyes was even stronger, and she slapped Xiaohui's face with her backhand.
Xiaohui's mother hurriedly hugged her daughter, Xiaohui was beaten and blinded, covering her face and hiding in her mother's arms.
Li Mengyao's mother pinched her waist and stood by the bed, scolding Xiaohui and her mother on the bed:
"It's really not a family, don't enter a door, I really saw it today, I thought it would be enough for a robber, but I didn't expect that there were two cheap goods, one big and one small, and the whole family didn't have a good thing, I bah! It's really poured eight lifetimes of blood mold, and there is such a neighbor on the stall.
I said it's not good for you to seduce anyone, you dare to seduce my man, today my mother doesn't discount your legs, I'll have your surname! ”
As he spoke, he searched around for the guy who was beating people.
Seeing this, Li Mengyao's father finally stopped pretending to be dead, he hurriedly hugged his wife and comforted: "Wife, wife, although it was said that this goblin seduced me first, but you can't really beat her to death, so you will go to jail, for such a shameless thing, it's not worth it, right?" ”
"You let go of me," Li Mengyao's mother was unmoved, "You think you're fine?" You wait until I get home and then I'll clean you up! Get out of the way! ”
Suddenly, Xiaohui's mother went crazy, covered the torn clothes on her body, and ran out quickly.
Xiaohui suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart, she also got off the bed and hurriedly chased after her!
"This slut even dares to run!" Li Mengyao's mother shouted and also chased after her.
Li Mengyao's father hurriedly followed.
I saw Xiaohui's mother running to the top floor in one breath and coming to the rooftop.
After coming here, her pace slowed down.
She walked to the edge of the rooftop step by step, looked at the ant-sized traffic below, and suddenly smiled.
"Mom!" Xiaohui's voice sounded from behind her, and her mother turned her head, looked at Xiaohui, and said softly:
"I'm sorry Xiaohui, I let you see the most unbearable side of my mother, I'm sorry, my mother is about to leave you, but my mother really can't hold on, I'm so tired of living, I'm so tired, just think it's my mother's selfishness, let my mother rest and rest."
As he spoke, he smiled, turned around and jumped without hesitation.
Xiaohui watched her mother jump up from the rooftop and disappear again, her steps were so brisk, so resolute, as if she was not going to die, but to a paradise without trouble and pain.
Ah, it turns out that death is such a simple and joyful thing!
Could she also go along?
She wanted to run over, to follow in her mother's footsteps, but someone grabbed her.
"Where are you going? If you want to die, you have to explain it to the police before you die, it was your shameless mother who jumped down the stairs by herself, and it has nothing to do with us. ”
The same sharp and mean voice, but this time Xiao Hui did not have the slightest fear in her heart, she raised her head and looked coldly at the person with a bit of meanness in her face.
"What do you see? Little bunny. ”
Xiaohui used all her strength to bite her wrist fiercely.
"Ahh
Xiaohui ran desperately, ran, she ran for a long time, seemingly aimless, but she knew where she was going.
Before she died, she had to do something important.
