202. The Silent Truth (Forty-Three)

In order to support herself and her grandmother, it is not enough to rely on the fixed and meager "part-time salary" every year, at a young age, she learned to wield a hoe to farm the land, go up the mountain to pick wild vegetables, so she delayed school, other children of the same age in the village began to study, and she did not even touch the school gate.

Later, the number of times her parents came back became less and less, and the attitude towards her every time she came back was also very perfunctory, which was equivalent to coming back and sending their grandparents home for a year's living expenses and leaving, and they were reluctant to stay even one night.

Li Chunhong, who has been very sensible since she was a child, has no resentment, but silently envies her younger brother who has never met but is accompanied by her parents, and her peers who have gone to school.

When she was eight years old, her grandmother paid for her schooling.

got the hard-won opportunity to study for a long time, Xiao Chunhong was very happy.

But worried that her grandmother with bad eyes could not take care of herself at home, Xiao Chunhong was very hesitant.

How can a grandmother not understand what her granddaughter thinks about getting along day and night?

On the one hand, she is very ironing in her heart, although her son and daughter-in-law are busy with work and rarely come back to see her, but the granddaughter who is by her side is very sensible and caring, on the other hand, she feels very self-blaming, if it is not her own body, how can she delay her granddaughter until now?

Although she is an old lady in a mountain village and has never seen much of the world, she knows the importance of reading. Only by studying can she have the opportunity to go out and see the bigger world, and her son finished high school under her urging and went out to explore, so that he had the opportunity to stay outside and work hard.

"Honghong, grandma knows what you're worried about. Grandma's eyes are not very good, but daily life is no problem. Reading is very important, you go to school to study hard, but grandma is waiting for you to grow up, be admitted to college, and make money to cure grandma's eyes. ”

Li Chunhong began her reading career.

After a few years, although the grandparents and grandchildren had a hard life, they saw hope and hope, and their hearts were very satisfied.

But the good times didn't last long, and when Li Chunhong was about to take a vacation from junior high school, something happened that changed her life.

During the holidays, in order to make money to show her grandmother's eyes and save for tuition, Li Chunhong walked back and forth between the village and the town every day to sell home-grown vegetables and bamboo shoots and mushrooms dug up in the mountains.

If it weren't for the fact that she was too young and the other helpers didn't want people, she originally planned to go to the town to do a part-time job, so that she would earn a little more.

It is said that the children of the poor are in charge of the house early, Li Chunhong is indeed the case, she is only thirteen years old, and she can basically handle the work at home and in the field.

If she continues like this, although she will suffer a lot of hardships in life, there are many possibilities in the future.

What changed the course of her life happened one evening.

Summer nights tend to get dark slowly, but this day is a bit cloudy, and before six o'clock the day is a little overcast.

Li Chunhong, who sold the mountain goods that day, did not bring an umbrella, and hurried home in a hurry.

In the distance, she seemed to see her grandmother standing at the door with a stick waiting for her to come home.

Her heart warmed, and when she was about to hurry up, a hurried footstep came from behind her, and when she turned around, she saw Grandpa Li from the same village.

It is said that most of the people in their village are surnamed Li, after all, the conditions are more difficult, and there are few outsiders.

Xiao Chunhong, who has always been sensible and well-behaved, said hello to her grandfather, and planned to continue her journey, so that her grandmother would not be in a hurry.

But the old man Li who came at her obviously didn't intend to let her go: "Little girl, can you do grandpa a favor?" ”

The kind and simple little girl didn't know how to refuse an old man's request, although she was very anxious to go home, worried about her grandmother, but she was afraid that the old man had something important, so she hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.

In her cognition, respecting the old and loving the young is the basic virtue of a good child, not to mention that Grandpa Li and she are from the same village, and it is common for them to have a group of children who are always smiling and amiable.

She didn't see the "old man" she thought was kind and kind, and at this time the cloudy eyes were constantly looking at her immature but faintly beautiful face, and the eyes were full of greed and disgusting looks......

With a heart to help others, she followed Grandpa Li, who pretended to be unwell and needed a hand, into his house, and it was not until late in the night, until the sky began to drizzle, that she staggered home with a tear-stained look on her face and staggered home.

Hearing the movement, the grandmother, who had not slept and had been in a hurry, groped for the light and walked towards the door.

"Honghong? Is it Honghong? Grandma's voice was full of urgency.

"You girl, why are you so late today, are you wet? Didn't my grandmother tell you that she would go home when it was dark and be hungry, right? Milk for you to eat......"

Xiao Chunhong's mouth, which was mixed with rain and tears on her face, was full of rust smell that had bitten her lips, and at this time, listening to her grandmother's loving and caring voice, her heart full of panic and anxiety finally found a dock, and she cried and stepped forward to hug her grandmother......

In the intermittent crying of her granddaughter, the grandmother learned the truth of this painful matter, she gritted her teeth and spat on the ground hatefully: "old thing! When I was young, I was not serious, and when I was old, I still came to harm my family, I, I ......"

She wanted to say that she would fight with him and avenge her granddaughter, but her eyes were broken, and it was difficult to even go out, so how could she find the scum who had lost her conscience and chopped him up to vent her granddaughter's anger?

She didn't think about reporting the case, after all, it was about her granddaughter's reputation, don't look at the few people in the village, but the old people who lack after-dinner entertainment like gossip the most, the east and the west are short, and the village is full of rumors as soon as there is a disturbance, she doesn't want her granddaughter to be pointed at by the people in the village in the future, and she can't hold her head up.

Can you bear this breath? How did she do it?

When she thought that her young and well-behaved granddaughter was bullied by the old wicked, and she was still an acquaintance in the village who didn't look up and look down, she felt a sulk in her chest, and she wanted to cut him with a thousand knives!

……

Li Chunhong has always been busy with her livelihood since she was a child, and she is withdrawn, and she has no friends who can play, she is always alone, and she made a few friends when she went to school.

Li Gou is one of them.

Back then, he was still a boy who liked to drag his nose, was always dirty, and always liked to tease girls. He is also a left-behind child, and his parents are too busy with work to take care of him, so they leave him with his grandparents to take care of him, but he can receive a large amount of living expenses every month, which is actually much better than most people in the village.
