Chapter 12, Part 1: Hating My Mother
If you ask me what my plan is, I can't even say what the steps are now, but at least I know the end result--- which is to let Mengling have nothing and let her taste the pain I have experienced. That's what I'm here for.
I endured an anger, I never mentioned it in front of anyone, and I never said that Mengling was not in front of others, because I know that such a thing cannot be rushed, cannot be sloppy, and must plan for the long term. The kind of resentment that accumulates in the bottom of the heart, you can't live normally without leaving home, it doesn't fade because of time, it doesn't disappear because of the change of status, but it is even more likely to accumulate because of it. Or maybe it wasn't just that she had been deceiving me for a long time, but she was so arrogant that she taught me to confuse and help her, as if I had given her a few chances......
Even though I have now reached the status of mayor, in the bottom of my heart, that hatred has never faded.
I have never forgotten that I am now the mayor, and in the contact with the provincial and municipal leaders in Cihu Villa the day before yesterday, it is certain that the appointment is coming soon, and I feel that my future is beginning to be bright. If I have to thank you, it's first of all the father who is related to me by blood.
June 19, 1983, auspicious day, my son...... I thought of the note that said my birthday. My heart hurt so much that it almost shattered into a million pieces. I don't know why they abandoned me in the first place, I don't know why my biological father gave me up...... This note, an insignificant note, records the beginning of a life, if my father didn't love me, why did he remember my birthday, why did he hide it in his wallet, why...... Is there something unspeakable about him, am I his illegitimate son......
I can't imagine that I suddenly want to find out about this matter, and I can't be sloppy and delayed, so I have to find out as soon as possible...... Also, didn't my mother say that my father once went to my mother's house and gave my grandmother some money, and my grandmother ...... I tried to wonder if my grandmother seemed to have given me something, why did I have such a vague mark......
I decided that I wanted to go home once, and immediately arranged for --- Le Lingling to be my secretary now.
I informed Le Lingling, and I said that I wanted to go back to my home once, go get some things, and use the break.
The car took me home, half an hour away, and when I stood at the door of my house, I couldn't believe that I now had the right to call for wind and rain, and it could be said that I had returned home.
My mother stood at the door, almost in disbelief: I used to be a cumbersome adopted daughter, but now I am a newly appointed mayor, and they all have to look at my face. At this time, the third uncle and brother seemed to know. Especially the third uncle, hugged me, tears fell on his clothes, happy that I have today, said that I was out of breath, let the family win glory, and said that grandpa was very happy. It makes me feel a lot of emotion.
I walked into the little room where I used to live, and it was all cleaned up, and I could barely see anything about me, except for the table, and the award certificate on the wall, which recorded that I had lived here when I was young.
Mom said that everything was cleaned up, and a lot of my things were old, as if they were useless, and they were all lost, only some old clothes in the cabinet, which should be the only one.
I asked my colleague to stay in the yard and I went into the house to clean up.
Actually, I don't want them to see me, I'm afraid I'll lose my temper.
Indeed, I felt like crying, crying.
"Grandma!" I couldn't hold back, and I was in a terrible mood.
I sat on a stool and looked at the award certificate on the wall, which I had received when I was in elementary school, and my grandmother was so happy that every time she got one, she would bring me some snacks from the shop and say it was a reward for me. So, my grades in primary school were surprisingly good.
I opened the cabinet and there was a musty smell on my face.
A cloth-sewn schoolbag was placed in the corner--- it was the schoolbag that I didn't throw away after I finished elementary school, at least it accompanied me through elementary school. My heart is sad for a while, or it is precisely because of its face that it reminds me of some of my gray childhood, the past in the wind and rain, only I know.
When I opened it, there were some of my books and even a photo, but it wasn't mine.
It seems to be a group photo of my grandfather when he was teaching, and I don't know which class it was.
I looked at the photo and found my grandfather, how many years ago, he was so young, with such a kind smiling face--- everyone was young, just like my grandfather.
Who's that next in his row? How does it seem a little familiar, I suddenly found that the person who looks like a student in the photo --- a bit like Mr. Gao. I looked at it carefully, and finally found that it really looked like him, didn't it, no, did grandpa teach him?
Looking for it again, it seems that there is nothing, grandma didn't give me anything, I don't remember.
So, how do I know I picked it up by my grandmother. I felt myself tangled.
"Mom......" I asked my mother to come into the room, "why does grandma say that I was born in snow, but my birthday seems to be June, this ......"
"It was indeed a snowy day that picked you up, and you were almost half a year old at that time!" Mom said in the affirmative.
"It's your grandmother on the way to the shop, where there is still a firewood shed, of course it is long gone! I know that. ”
Without thinking, my mother said, "Your grandmother didn't make it clear, but I know." ”
Half a year old, they still lost me. I know who my real father is, so who is the woman who gave birth to me? Who is that my mother's person? How could she throw me away so ruthlessly, how could she throw me so irresponsibly in the firewood room on a snowy day! My heart seemed to be hurting, as if it had been cut open with a knife......
"Your grandmother seems to have left me something, I think about it......" my mother said suddenly, "I was told back then, she said that some of the child's things should be kept, not lost, and that she would give them to her when she got married in the future. ”
"Think about it, Mom, think about it." Sure enough, I just screamed, my heart was beating hard, I knew that my grandmother must have kept something, and I had a hunch that it would be my only hope of revealing my origins.
"I'll look for it!" Mom got up and walked to her room. As he walked, he said, "What are you looking for?" How about finding it! ”
"What?" When I heard this, I felt like my mother was a little impatient.
At this time, my mother turned back and looked at me, "Weiwei, don't look for it, forget it!" ”
"Why?" I don't know what my mom meant by that.
When she came into the room, she sat down across from me, looking at me, and for a while, her tears flowed.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" I didn't know why, so I stepped forward to help her.
"Wei, it's been more than thirty years, I didn't want to tell you, but ......" Mom shook her head.
"Tell me what? What did grandma tell you back then? "I'm also in a hurry.
"No...... Not grandma...... It's me, it's my own sin, and I deserve it! "Mom was in tears, looking like she was doing it herself.
"What's the matter, what's going on, is there something wrong? Is it about me? "My name is.
"Hmm!" Mom nodded.
Oh my God, what's wrong with Mom, what's going on with her.
"Do you know why I don't get along with my grandmother, do you know why I don't like you?" Mom suddenly cried out, "Because of your real mother, because she is my real sister." ”
"What ......? How so...... My mother, my father, and the mother in front of me...... It's a mess...... Oh my God, what's going on? One by one, like a chain of sets, they all wrapped around me, encircled me inside, and taught me that I couldn't breathe......
"You're saying that you and my birth mother are sisters, my father......" I combed my way.
"Yes, your father was the secretary of the director of our factory, and your mother ...... with him," the mother said, "Your father's family found out and forced your mother, who is my sister, to jump into the reservoir, and when you were half a year old, your father sent you to me, pretending to be discarded, and he wanted me to pick it up and raise it......" The mother sighed, and then said, "I know that this child is my sister's, but I don't want you to come, because your father once deceived me like this......"
"Ouch, this is ......" I had a terrible headache, not because of the hysterical venting of my mother in front of me, but because I found that my side was so unbearable, as if I was a superfluous person......
I then remembered my father, who had been a lover, and in that fat body, I didn't know what it was, garbage thoughts and thoughts, how he behaved in the world, how much sin and pain he left for himself and others, how many endless injuries his disorder and pleasure had brought to others.
Yes, he really deserves to be strangled and hated, just like that time in Hong Kong, I only have hatred and killing in my mind, and I hate his past so much. Before thinking about it, I had the idea of forgiving him, and now I add this thing, which makes me face him so head-on.
No wonder over the years, my mother has been nervous, different from normal people, no wonder for so many years, she has been cold and ruthless to me, it turns out that she hates my mother and her sister.
"Does Grandma know?" I took a deep breath and didn't know where to start.
"Grandma didn't know until she died, she always thought that I didn't love you because you picked it up, but she didn't know that it was the result of my sister's jealousy!"
"Back then, you were in a factory?"
Mom nodded, "The factory later knew that your father hadn't driven at that time, and your father was honest, and he took your brother to start a family with me." It was your father who took care of me later, and he asked me to marry your father and compensate me with some money......"
"This is really a fantasy, you can write a novel about your past love, but it is me who hurts, you know, you are too selfish, including the man who gave birth to me!"
"Your grandfather should have known later, and it was because of this incident that your grandfather's title was evaluated, and he had a retirement salary...... So he didn't say it, including telling you! ”
Yes! I don't really know if I don't say it, but when I say it, it really scares me. No wonder my grandfather used to give me money, and no wonder my father came here back then, it turned out that he arranged all this.
"Then a woman came to you and said she wanted to give you money and told you not to look for your father again......
"No wonder that time in the hospital, there was a woman who wanted to give me 1 million, saying that she told me not to look for him again...... "I suddenly realized that the inexplicable woman that time was his current woman--- then, he was remembering me, otherwise, that woman would not have sent money
