Chapter 4: Despair
In this city, Mabo is her only lifeline. Ma Bo has a new love, but she has become an old person. Can you imagine how many new loves and old people he had before her? She knew that her situation was hanging by a thread, and if she gave up, she would have nothing left in the city. The relationship with Ma Bo is already well known, including her parents in the mountains. Everyone who knew her thought that she had already lived the life of a city person, and the facts in front of her shattered her dreams. Liu Sisi, who calmed down, decided to make a difference, she was unwilling to be an old person, she was only twenty years old, and she wanted to try to pull Ma Po back to her side.
She began to spend her time learning to cook according to the recipes, and changing her tricks to make some of Mabo's favorite foods. As long as you tie the man's stomach, he won't run away and won't come back. What she makes, Mabo sometimes eats, sometimes doesn't. No matter how late Ma Bo came back, a basin of warm foot wash would be brought to Ma Bo's feet in time. She held Marbo's feet and cared for them carefully. After more than a year of living together, she has already learned to be amorous and pleasing men. So, she played with Ma Bo on the bed as much as she could, sometimes Ma Bo was very obedient, sometimes impatiently shouted: What is the toss, and there is no end? She quieted down, looked at the night in front of her, listened to Ma Bo's high and low snoring, and burst into tears for a while. In front of Ma Bo, she lost her self-esteem and lost herself, and she shouted in her heart: God, why did you let me be born in a big ravine-
Ma Bo has less and less of her in his eyes, and even when he picks up the girl at home, he no longer avoids her, and simply says to her bluntly: You go out and come back later.
When she heard this, she wept as she walked out. Walking down the street and not knowing where you are. It is often from dusk to late at night, from noisy to sparsely populated. When she reappeared on Mabo's doorstep, she didn't have the courage to cross that threshold. She didn't know, when would such a day be the end?
One afternoon, she was sitting in front of the window in a daze. During this time, she often sat there indifferently. The beautiful, vivid face that used to be began to become numb and sluggish, and since Mabo no longer admired her, what else did she need to do with those beauties? It was at this time that Marbo returned. Ma Bo is back now, it's been a long time. She looked at him with some joy and some apprehension, and Marbo sat on the sofa with his eyelids drooping, took out his cigarette, and smoked it very enthusiastically. After a while, Ma Bo raised his head and said: I rented a house for you, you can move over.
Her worst fears came anyway. She looked at him helplessly and mourned: I'm not leaving, I want to be with you.
Ma Bo didn't look at her, looked at a wall in front of him and said: I have paid the rent, you can just live in the past, and you can still find me if you have something in the future.
No, I'm not going anywhere, I'm going to be with you. She was already pleading.
He seemed to be a little angry, and said in a stiff tone: How can this be, this is my family, and I will get married in the future.
She almost choked on a breath, looked at him for a long time, and said: I want to marry you.
This is what she wants to say most in the bottom of her heart.
He looked at her, then looked at her, then lowered his eyelids and said: We are not suitable, I can't marry you, how is this possible?
Then why did you look for me in the first place? She was a little puzzled and surprised.
He sighed and said, "At the beginning, I gave you money every time. I know you're short of money, but we're in the same balance.
She could have imagined such an ending, but she was still surprised by what he said.
He also said, "When you moved to live with me, you moved in yourself." It's interesting enough that I've raised you for so long, do you still want me to raise you for the rest of your life?
She looked at Ma Bo's delicate skin and tender face, and she couldn't wait to slap her twice. This is the teacher Ma she pinned her true love, and Ma Bo, whom she wants to entrust for life, actually said such a thing. She was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
The house, I've got it all ready for you, you can see it yourself or not. Anyway, you can't rely on me. With that, Marbo placed a key on the table.
At that moment, she thought about it a lot. She knew that Marbo couldn't stay here anyway. went to the house that Mabo rented for her, and she knew that he was throwing off the burden. At this moment, she remembered her parents in the mountains. In her most helpless moment, she realized that in this world, only her parents' feelings for her are the truest; But how can she, covered in bruises, go to see her relatives? Besides, since she came out of the mountains, she never wanted to go back to the mountains, even if she was so mixed up that she was in the city to ask for food.
The only option in front of her is to accept the arrangement that Ma Bo has given her.
Liu Sisi took all his belongings and went to the rented house. Ma Bo saw her walk in, stood at the door, sighed with relief, and said: I have paid the rent for half a year, you can live in peace.
Then, after thinking about it, he took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to her. She didn't pick it up, looking at her toes. At this time, she hoped that Ma Bo would change her mind and say: Come back with me.
Even though she knew it wasn't possible, she hoped for it.
Ma Bo finally threw the two hundred yuan lightly on the windowsill, clapped his hands, seemed to slap away the trouble, and turned away.
She listened to his footsteps near and far, and her heart was empty. She held her head, squatted down little by little, and began to cry mournfully.
From this time on, she and Ma Bo no longer had a slight-hearted relationship. He gave her money, and they were in exchange. has been living with Ma Bo for more than a year, which originally carried her huge dreams and ideals, but everything in front of her was broken and couldn't be cleaned up. In the future, in this city, who can let her rely on each other? She felt lonely and helpless like never before.
Finally, she stopped crying and began to stare blankly out the window. When she looked back, she saw two hundred dollars on the windowsill. She remembered that she still had more than 100 yuan to spend, and that was also the money Ma Bo gave her to buy vegetables. Now, all the assets she has are these more than 300 yuan, and how long can she stay in this city? What's next? Calming down, she began to face the reality in front of her, and if she wanted to gain a foothold in the city, she had to save herself and must not count on anyone. Until now, she didn't hate Ma Bo either, and from the beginning she volunteered. If it weren't for Ma Bo, maybe she would have returned to the mountains a long time ago. Her classmates came from the mountains, and they all returned to the mountains without exception.
Those classmates in the city naturally still live in this city. Liu Sisi, who was unaccompanied, remembered those classmates in the city. Maybe they were the only ones who could help her, she thought.
