Chapter 3: The Tragic End of My Sister
7I helped my sister clean the house, washed the sheets and covers, and saw that she was playing the TV, so I said to her:
"It's okay for you to rest more and watch less TV, it's not good for pregnant women."
"If you have something, you can find me at the snack bar behind Xinglong Street, where I got a job."
My sister turned off the TV and asked:
"Why don't you work in the slaughterhouse?"
I was just about to speak, when the door opened, and Zhang Yunhao walked in.
I was stunned for a moment when I saw me:
"Oh, it's Sister Wen!"
In fact, I'm only a year older than him, and it's reasonable to call me sister by my sister.
"Well, Xiaorong is not in good health, so I have to come and see her and bring her something."
Zhang Yunhao nodded:
"Yes, I'm busy with work, so I neglect to take care of her." Seeing him looking at my sister affectionately, I thought, maybe he really likes my sister!
"Otherwise, sister, you will move here to live, this place is big, and you can also help me take care of Rongrong." I'm more relieved to work.'"
I looked at my sister and saw her nod:
"yes, why don't you move in?"
I thought about it:
"Okay, I'll go back and clean up, I go out to work during the day, and I'll come back after work to cook for you, and take care of you."
He patted my sister's hand and said happily:
"With my sister here, I'm relieved."
From this day on, I was with my sister, who gradually grew into a big belly, so she took a leave of absence to recuperate at home.
I also took the time to go back and tell my parents how my sister was doing, and when I heard that everything was fine, they would follow me back.
"No, Dad. Mom, as long as my sister and the person surnamed Zhang are not married, everything may be said, you can live here well, and it will be too late to go back when the dust settles."
"What's the matter, when Xiao Chen goes to the county to deliver the pigs, just give me a message."
Mom and Dad had to nod helplessly.
Back in the county seat, in the alley outside my sister's house, a car was parked.
"This isn't Aunt Tu's car!"
"It's over, she's here."
I wrapped myself in a towel so tightly that I was able to make sure I didn't even recognize my parents standing in front of me, and I went upstairs.
The door was wide open, and the voice of Aunt Tu scolding came from inside:
"Okay, your surname is Zhang, eating from the bowl and looking at the pot, and now even people's stomachs are bigger, phew. Shameless.'
A mouthful of spit fell on Zhang Yunhao's face, and my sister pulled the paper and hurriedly wiped it off for him.
Standing up with your waist up:
"Look at your meaty face, the fat pigs in the pen can't compare to you, what is the right to be arrogant in my house if you occupy the pit and don't shit?"
Zhang Yunhao looked at Aunt Tu gloomily:
"For so many years, because of your father, I have to compromise and seek perfection, but you can't even give birth to a child, should our old Zhang family be extinct?"
"Now that your father is gone, there is no one behind you, I advise you, divorce me honestly, and I can also give you half of the property, so that you will not have a bleak night."
Aunt Tu stuck her waist and scolded angrily:
"You want me to make room for this little slut?" You're dreaming.'
"If I didn't have a good life, you would have recuperated too."
Zhang Yunhao threw a killer shot:
"I remember your brother, who opened someone's head last year and lost some money and pressed it down, but this matter is still pressed by me!"
"If I report it...... He hasn't been around for ten or twenty years, don't think about it."
Aunt Tu turned off the fire all of a sudden, and dropped a sentence viciously:
"Count yourself ruthless, let's see."
As soon as I saw that she was leaving, I hurriedly climbed to the sixth floor to hide, and when I saw her go downstairs and walk away, I dared to return to my sister's house.

I tore off my sweaty scarf and whispered:
"Sister, Xiao Zhang......"
Zhang Yunhao looked up at me, sweating in his head:
"Did you hear it all just now?"
I nodded:
"What do we do next?"
My sister looked indifferent:
"That shrew, what are you afraid of her doing?"
Zhang Yunhao said:
"It's okay, you can't make many waves, you take care of Rongrong and give birth to the child well."
I nodded:
"Don't worry, it's just. Your matter must be resolved as soon as possible, Xiaorong will be born immediately, and the child will have to be registered."
Zhang Yunhao looked at his sister and said:
"It's really hard for you, you are still willing to follow me in this situation, you can rest assured, I will never treat you and your children badly."
He said it so unequivocally that I would believe it.
However, if everything is going well in this world, there must be a great danger hidden behind it.
Zhang Yunhao really divorced Aunt Tu, because his younger brother who was not a good man only got one-third of the property that should have gotten half of the property, and the director of the slaughterhouse was also replaced by someone else.
When people reach middle age, they have no father, no mother, no husband and no children, and they have no job, which is really desolate.
But before I could sympathize with her, disaster ensued in our family.
When I was washing dishes in the snack bar, Chen Peng hurriedly came to me and called me aside:
"Xiaowen, I sent the pig to the slaughterhouse today, and when I stopped by to your house to have a look, I found that there was a fire in your house last night."
I was so shocked that my legs went limp and I almost sat on the ground.
I pulled him by his clothes and asked:
"Did you hurt anyone?"
Chen Peng shook his head:
"Your neighbors found out in time, called 119 to come, and put out the fire, only to find that the inside was smashed into disshapenness."
I said in my heart: If I hadn't insisted on sending my parents away, would I have to carry out two corpses today?
Second Aunt Tu is too arrogant, didn't Zhang Yunhao say that there is no one behind her! How dare she do that?
I hurriedly got into Chen Peng's minivan and went home, and downstairs I saw a house still emitting black smoke, and a group of old men and women in the distance were talking about it.
"What a grudge! They smashed the house and burned it like this.'"
"That's right, when I first heard that voice, I thought that the two of them were arguing and throwing things!"
"If it weren't for the fire that came to my house, we would have suffered."
Listening to these words, I gasped.
In order to make sure that my parents were safe, I followed Chen Peng back to his house.
Seeing that my parents were still helping him dry pigweed in Chen Peng's small courtyard, I was really relieved.
stepped forward and told the second elder what had happened recently.
My dad squatted on the stone steps, smoking a hookah in silence, and the family was rarely silent.
Suddenly my dad shouted:
"That Xiao Zhang went to work, and you weren't around, and your sister was home alone?"
I nodded in hindsight:
"yes, Dad, what's wrong?"
My dad slapped his thigh:
"Oh, oh no, if the butcher can find our house, he will be able to catch your sister alone!"
He pulled my mother up and said to Chen Peng:
"Xiao Chen, if you want to trouble you to send us to the county seat, you have to hurry."
After a day of running back and forth, it was already evening when I arrived at the county seat.
When my parents and I ran up to Room 501 of Unit 2 out of breath, the door was wide open, and my sister had already fallen to the ground, bleeding all over the ground.

When my parents saw my sister like this, they didn't know whether she was alive or dead, and they cried.
Chen Peng and I hurriedly carried her downstairs and sent her to the hospital.
Outside the emergency room, I was in a state of panic.
As soon as the doctor came out, we gathered around:
"How's the doctor?" My sister she?'
The doctor shook his head:
"The pregnant woman lost too much blood, and the child was not saved, and it has been removed there, but fortunately it was saved."
I froze, as did my parents behind me.
The child is gone? Can't be a mother anymore? How can my sister marry in the future?
I wiped my tears and said:
"It's good to be alive, it's good to be alive, thank you, doctor."
Watching my sister being pushed back into the ward, my parents hugged each other and cried loudly in the hallway.
I had to let Chen Peng take care of my sister on my behalf, and I went to their unit to find Zhang Yunhao.
Something so big happened to my sister, it makes no sense for him to care.
"What? Zhang Yunhao absconded in fear of crime?'
"Who are you?"
I said, 'Oh, I'm a distant relative.'
"No wonder you don't know! After he divorced his wife, his wife was angry and reported him for embezzlement and bribery, embezzlement of money to support the junior, and after checking the truth, he ran away."
He ran away, and that sister has no one to call the shots? That's how this loss is eaten?
I took two steps back in despair.
I saw a uniformed man in the distance hurrying in:
"Go and tell the leader that Zhang Yunhao's kid has been found."
As soon as I heard that I had found it, I wanted to ask where the person was.
"yes, where did you find it?"
The man said as he walked:
"I got on the highway and was stopped and didn't stop, and when I was driving fast, I hit the big truck on the opposite side, and the person was gone on the spot."
My head slammed and exploded.
Zhang Yunhao died.
When I told my parents about this sudden change, my mother covered her mouth and said:
"I blame me, I have been used to her since I was a child, I spoiled her, and let her be a junior without knowing the sky."
"Now that I have ended up like this, what can I do in the future?"
My dad hung his head:
"I should have tied her to my side in the first place, maybe, maybe there wouldn't have been so much."
Chen Peng and I sat on the side, not saying a word.
When my sister woke up, she knew everything, and it was rare that she didn't cry.
Feed her water, drink water, feed her food, and eat honestly.
There was no sparkle in his eyes, and the whole person was very sad.
Before being discharged from the hospital, Chen Peng and I were busy for several days before finally cleaning up our home.
When my sister got home, she was still silent, and when she saw the walls of the house curled by the heat of the fire, her sister sat on the bed with her head in her arms and cried.
Thinking of the past when she used to work hard early and late, and worked hard all the way, we all thought that she would have a glorious life.
I didn't expect to meet Zhang Yunhao after graduation, which was embarrassing.
Seeing her miserable, the whole family comforted her, took the wrong path, just come back and correct it, and be a good person and live a good life in the future.
My sister nodded, and she was getting better and better day by day.
And Chen Peng also brought us good news:
"The former director of the slaughterhouse was arrested for arson and premeditated murder, and she was accompanied by her brother who was a street boy."
Our whole family breathed a sigh of relief, and this time we could finally rest assured.
My sister didn't react at all, as if that person, that family, had nothing to do with her.
I said in my heart: It's okay like this, life must go on.
Unexpectedly, my sister left home early in the morning with simple luggage and never came back.

A year later, my sister sent money from thousands of miles to her parents and apologized to her parents and me.
"Dad, Mom, Sister, please forgive me for not contacting you for so long. That accident smoothed out the arrogance of my life. I'm living well now, rest assured, I will live well, but in the dead of night, I think of my parents and sister for my kindness, and I am ashamed to bring so much harm to my family before I repay you. I'll be back, but not now. Sister, please take care of your parents, I have been owing you a thank you for so many years. I only hope for the future, and there is still a future. Xiao Rongliu'
After reading the letter, I burst into tears.
This sadly, she won't be coming back for a while.
Later, relatives and friends were embarrassed when they found out about their sister.
I had high hopes for it, but I ended up like this, and I, who was neglected since I was a child, have now come together with Chen Peng.
Husband and wife are loving, and both children are complete.
Parents often enjoy the joy of their children and grandchildren around their knees, while looking into the distance and sighing.
I know that they are missing the sister who has a home but never returns.
Looking at Chen Peng's busy work inside and out, running our small family well, my parents would always say to me guiltily in the envious eyes of the people:
"Xiaowen, over the years, your parents are really ashamed of you! Your sister is like this, and she still relies on you and Xiao Chen to survive."
"Thank you for your hard work."
I looked at my father's gray hair, and my heart tightened:
"Dad, family, don't talk so much."
Chen Peng answered:
"Yes, Dad, relax your heart and live a good life. Our family's good days have just begun!'
Mom and Dad nodded with tears in their eyes.
For my sister, I also look down on it now, as long as she is alive and well, then let her live in her own way!
People always have to pay the price for their mistakes, even if the price is so heavy and painful.
