As if I had been depressed for a long, long time, and I wanted to cry happily, the sky was gloomy and it had been raining for a week, as if it was endless. Yi Songjuan stood lonely in front of the window looking at the still gray and oppressive sky, and the row of low magnolia trees were like a long drought and a rain, blooming one after another moist white flowers, one by one competing for beauty in the rain.

The yellow flower that had just bloomed from the canna in front of the window was finally knocked to the ground after a torrential rain. The rainwater that came down from the hillside rushed down to the low-lying area, forming a small stream in the middle of the rocks. The water that collects into the stream grows larger and larger, hitting the rocks beside the stream, forming several churning streams, and then flowing more and more rapidly towards the lower places. The yellow flower that had fallen to the ground was washed into the stream by the rain, and soon disappeared without a trace.

Several apple trees in the yard have grown taller and brighter, and their leaves are bright and bright. After another torrential rain, the sky brightened a little, but in the blink of an eye it darkened again, and a bigger rain was brewing. There was a faint sound of thunder in the distance, and after a while, the thunder got closer and louder, and after a series of explosions, the raindrops the size of beans poured down and smashed on the roof with a "crackling" sound.

Yi Songjuan suddenly noticed that there was some itching in her calf, and she inadvertently looked down to see that it was the little flower cat that had disappeared for many days and came back. She hurriedly bent down and picked it up, looking at its frightened eyes, gently stroking its smooth fur wet by the rain with her hand, and a dull pain unconsciously permeated her heart.

She looked at Xiaohua's still panicked eyes, as if she was talking to herself, and as if she was talking about her heart with this only friend who could be with her: "Xiaohua, where have you been these days?" Why don't you say goodbye? After being away for so long, don't you miss me? I regard you as my only friend, so why did you leave me and abandon me? What does it make my heart ache? It's good that you're back, you didn't really leave me and abandon me, and you still think of me as your best friend, right? ”

She continued to stroke the cat's rain-soaked fur: "You know what? The day you left home, I prepared a rich dinner for you, with your favorite small fish, your favorite fish soup and rice, and fresh vegetable salad, well, and baked potatoes! Because that day is your birthday. Actually, I don't know your real birthday, but that day was the day we met, and after you were ruthlessly abandoned, I brought you back to this home, and I commemorate this day as your birthday. But you didn't say goodbye, you know? I've searched for you a lot, but I haven't seen you. Do you know how worried I am about you? How many nights have I been thinking about you, where will you go when you leave me? Is there anything to eat? Do you have a place to shelter from the elements? Are you wandering again? ”

Yi Songjuan's eyes were moist, looking at the heavier and heavier rain outside the window, unconsciously her nose was sour and tears flowed, and the little flower cat looked at her and called "whining", as if to comfort her, and as if to tell her what happened to her. She kept petting it, and was suddenly pleasantly surprised to find that the little flower cat seemed to be pregnant: "Oh my God, you little thing, are you as restless as me?" You've eloped with your lover these days, so why did you come back alone? Has it abandoned you? Isn't it responsible? Or is it also a homeless person and you need a warm home? You must be hungry, right? Come on, sit on my knees, I've got two roasted sweet potatoes here, you need to strengthen your nutrition. Come, come, come, you eat, eat, it's very fragrant. It's been a long time since I've eaten such a delicious roasted sweet potato. In the future, I will bake it for you often. Don't worry, I'll take care of you, and you can give birth to your child with confidence. This home will always be a home you can rely on, we don't have a glorious and rich day, but we have a life of coarse tea and light rice, there is a bite of me to eat, there is a bite of you eat. It's just that from now on, you are not allowed to leave me again! Even if you want to leave, you can't say goodbye like that. You're going to have to show me who you're leaving with, so you can reassure me, you know? Well, don't just 'woo, woo', you promised me? That's good, I really like you, because you and I really have the same personality, dare to love and hate. ”

The little flower cat seemed to look at its owner with some curiosity, and a slight smile appeared on Yi Songjuan's face: "You know what? The reason why there are only the two of us in this family, and no one will take the initiative to come to the door, is because people dislike me as a divorced woman. They don't think about why I want to get a divorce, they don't care who is right and who is wrong, they pretend they didn't see anything when I was beaten by my husband, but after I got divorced, they had so many eyes staring at me every day, like a thief who would steal from their house at any time. If I hadn't divorced, I might not have been alive today, he would beat me whenever he was drunk, and when he woke up, he would have ...... with me, he would have to sleep with me, he would have to eat and drink for him, he would have to wash his clothes, and he would want me to have children for him. I had no choice but to take medicine secretly, and I was afraid that my children would be beaten and scolded by him in the future. I only have one way to go, and that is divorce, and if I can't get married, I will be beaten to death by him one day. ”

Yi Songjuan shook her head helplessly and sighed: "If I was killed by him, they might sympathize with me, but I divorced, but they refused to accept it." I don't know why I went from being a weak person who was abused by domestic violence to a woman who was spurned by everyone. Women are afraid that I will seduce their men, so why should I seduce their men? Could it be that in the eyes of a divorced woman, all men become treasures? It's a big joke. ”

She sighed softly: "The men have openly accused me again, saying that I am an immodest woman. In private, they will secretly give me benefits, want to have something with me, but refuse to admit their bad intentions. In order to prove to others that they are not lustful and upright gentlemen, they desperately poured dirty water on me like a demon, as if the dirtier I said, the cleaner they were. Hehe, do you believe it? Devils believe it. Those men who pretend to be serious are used to coaxing, and those women who have no self-confidence prefer to eat this set. This is the tragedy, my tragedy, and theirs. ”

The little flower cat lay on Yi Songjuan's lap, ate a few mouthfuls of sweet roasted sweet potatoes, and called a few times "woo, woo, woo", Yi Songjuan looked at it and shed tears: "Xiaohua, do you know? Today is my birthday, my thirtieth birthday. Well, what are you looking at me for? No one remembers my birthday, no one remembers it except myself. What did you say? Mom remembers, let me tell you, my mother was very disappointed when she gave birth to me, so she didn't like me at all. Well, you wonder why she was disappointed? Why doesn't she like me? Alas, let me tell you, there's nothing you can't say anyway, it's just that you don't quite understand the strange ideas of human beings, and if you tell you, you won't figure it out. Because, before my mother gave birth to me, I had two older sisters waiting for me. However, they are not waiting for me, who is the same as them, but a different brother, and they are waiting for their younger brother. ”

The corners of Yi Songjuan's mouth raised: "Are you funny?" Mom and sister seemed disappointed, and even though they were also women, my presence made them sad. I came to this home, but I didn't get the warmth of this home, because there was no warmth in this home. I was a kid with no one to take care of, no one asked me to do anything, and no one told me not to do anything. I am a real outcast who has not been discarded, an outcast who has been psychologically abandoned, and I have grown up in a kind of indifference and neglect. When it was time to get married, I was thrown from one side of the mountain to the other side of the mountain like a burden that had been thrown out, and I was married to a man who had been immersed in alcohol all day. ”

Yi Songjuan listened to the sound of rain outside the window, glanced at the little flower cat that was still lying on her lap and said, "What do you want to tell me?" Well, did you see the second tiger? Are you trying to tell me, you went to the other side of the mountain, can you run that far? Hmph, you're for love, you're really laughing at me, you're really a lover. You're just a kitten, and it's funny that a male cat can elope over the mountains and mountains. What did you say? I can't laugh at you like that, cat people also have feelings? Should I respect you? Oh, well, I agree with you that you also have the right to love. Tell me, did you see the second tiger? It's not that you don't know, this negative man has long forgotten about me, what are you mentioning him for? Alas, Xiaohua, you are really good at picking the time, do you have to make my current mood worse? ”

"Woo woo" The little flower cat looked up at the melancholy eyes of her master, and she gently stroked it on the head: "Erhu is too weak, when I wanted to marry him, he married another woman." Well, it's not that he's weak, he's too snobbish, because that woman's family has money and a lot of things to dowry, and I don't have a dowry. My father came to the forest farm here to buy wood, and after a meal of wine, he gave me to them like a dish to accompany the wine. Can you understand? You're not going to believe it, hehe. ”

Yi Songjuan looked at the little flower cat: "My fate always seems to be related to wine, because my father drank a meal of wine, and I married into the forest farm here." And because my drunkard husband drank too much after I filed for divorce, and when he went to the mountains to cut down a tree, he fell off a cliff and died, and I became a broom star. Is it fair that I was a victim and ended up being a sinner in the eyes of others, as if I had pushed him off a cliff? Definitely not fair! ”

She looked out the window at the continuous rain: "I have never experienced a kind of fairness, and fate has always imposed all kinds of unfairness on me. I won't give in, why should I? I have hands and feet, I can support myself, there is no need to care about what others say, there is no need to look at other people's disdainful eyes. I just need to look up to myself, and I'm used to living my life with peace of mind under the discriminatory eyes of others. ”

There was another thunderclap, and the raindrops became heavier, slamming on the roof, and the little flower cat curled up on Yi Songjuan's lap in some horror, her eyes rolling and looking around. Yi Songjuan gently lowered it to the ground, then walked to the window again, looking at the hazy rain outside, tears silently flowing down again. The little cat followed her to the window, rubbing her feet with her body, as if to comfort her.

"If others discriminate against me, do you discriminate against me too?" Yi Songjuan remembered the dispute with Du Shaoyou not long ago, and felt a special loss in her heart.

The divorce between Du Shaoyou and Ling Yuan soon spread throughout the Phoenix Mountain Forest Farm, and Yi Songjuan was the first to guess, but the last to know. When Du Shaoyou was taken home by her and put down on the bed, she guessed that he and Ling Yuan must be going to divorce, which bride could bear her groom sleeping on another woman's bed on the wedding night?

That morning, after Du Shaoyou's father came to her house and dragged him away from her bed, she quietly followed him to the circuit court in the compound of the field department. stayed in the woods outside the courtroom for a long time, until Du Shaoyou walked out of the courtroom alone. When she returned home, she closed the door of her yard and the door of the house tightly, and locked herself in the house.

It wasn't until five days later that she opened the door and went up the hill with the medicine basket on her back. All I heard along the way was the divorce between Du Shaoyou and Ling Yuan, talking about it with nose and eyes, but it sounded more about her, she knew that she had become the person who was pointed at behind her back, but she didn't care, and she didn't want to say hello to anyone.
