Volume 13: Out of the Rubik's Cube (23)

Jiao Shuyin also started to go to preschool because of the stability of her family. If nothing unexpected happens, she would have just studied like most of the children in Lingxiao Town. She dropped out of school and went out to work in junior high school. She came back to get married and have children at the age of 18 or 19. When she was in her twenties, the children were all crawling all over the floor. However, less than a year after they returned to Lingxiao Town, Jiao's father encountered a sudden car accident and was paralyzed for half a year, which completely rewritten the fate of her family.

The so-called wall is falling and everyone pushes it. People are bullied. Jiao’s father, who was originally glorious, fell down suddenly, leaving Jiao’s mother with orphans and widows. Today, Jiao’s grandmother Jiao asked her to give her money to play mahjong. Tomorrow, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law ran over and said she wanted to take some oil. The day after tomorrow, the uncle and uncle came to borrow money. Their behavior made Jiao’s father, who had already collapsed due to large treatment costs, even more stretched. Jiao Shuyin remembered that in the past six months, there was no meat on their table except for the lard cooking. The chickens and ducks and eggs raised were either sold for money or were deceived by other people in the Jiao family. Jiao Shuyin’s three siblings were so hungry that they almost wanted to eat the table. For two months, there was only a plate of dried radish that could not be eaten at the dinner table that they could not eat too much, so Jiao Shuyin didn’t want to touch this kind of food for more than ten years in the future.

Their poverty and embarrassment did not make Grandpa Jiao's family restrained. In the end, even the color TV that Jiao Shuyin and his three siblings had to watch were moved away. When Jiao's father got better, they saw the room that was already barely walled. However, Jiao's father was a relatively foolish and filial person. Grandpa Jiao said that everyone was a family and didn't mind money. Jiao's father saw his pale and thin wife and children, and actually agreed.

It was probably the first large-scale quarrel between Jiao Father and Jiao’s mother. The two broke out in front of Jiao Shuyin’s three siblings. Jiao Shuyin watched her father push her mother to the ground and swung her fists hard. She could not do anything except hugging her younger brother and sister tightly for fear of being beaten by Jiao’s father.

That was the first time in her life when she was less than eight years old that she felt what powerlessness meant. Perhaps the opportunity to become stronger was probably from her incompetence. Since then, she began to study hard. In addition to the simple Chinese and math in class, she also went to the only library in the town every week, hugging one book after another, holding one Xinhua Dictionary word by word, learning and understanding. By the time she was nine years old, she had already read half of the more than 10,000 books in the library and never went out to learn and learn.

When friends play, they never act like a spoiled with Jiao’s father and mother. All the children think she is too cold--althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy-althy

In the past or two years, the conflict in the Jiao family became more and more intense. Jiao’s father was not a mud. When he paid to a certain extent, he began to explode. The entire Jiao family became a battlefield of burning. Any friction could trigger a huge explosion. They quarrel, they threw things, they blamed each other, and their brothers and sisters-in-law complained about each other and even children fought each other. If they couldn’t beat them, they smashed the pot and poured kerosene, threatening to burn each other to death. Jiao Shuyin looked at everyone numbly like an evil ghost

The face almost felt that they were no longer humans, but a group of unknown creatures snatching limited resources. When they couldn't get it, they ruthlessly snatched the other party. Poverty, disputes, depravity, deception, and hatred were almost all entrenched in this small inn... At that moment, Jiao Shuyin couldn't help but turn around and run out of this suffocating place, run to the foot of the uninhabited mountain, kneel down to the mountains, and begging God. If there is no way to calm the battle, then let her leave this home completely.

That's right, Jiao Shuyin had a very disgusted family for a long time. Sometimes she felt that death might be more comfortable than living here.

Unfortunately, Jiao Shuyin's prayers failed again and again, and she became more indifferent again and again. Sometimes Jiao's father and Jiao's mother would fight after a fight, and she could sit by the side with Shu calmly. If they had finished reading Shu and they hadn't finished arguing, she would take Jiao Shuhuan and Jiao Shuyuan to dig things on the mountain to dig food. After eating, it was late at night and then go back. At that moment, the family might be peaceful. She looked at the dark night and suddenly felt that she was no longer afraid of ghosts and gods.

"I have begged for gods and Buddhas," Jiao Shuyin said to Yiling and Han Lu in this way. There was no special expression on his face, and his eyes were filled with holes left after vicissitudes. "But later I discovered that in the end, I was actually the way I was alone in gritting my teeth."

Only the endless quarrels lasted until Jiao Shuyin's first year of high school. Because Grandpa Jiao's eldest son died of cancer, the conflict was temporarily stopped. Jiao Shuyin's uncle committed suicide because Grandpa Jiao felt that the cancer was not cured, so there was no need to cure the disease. Uncle Jiao was tortured by the pain and couldn't help but drink pesticides and died. The third and fourth sons of the Jiao family were very heartbroken, so they simply took away a sum of money, said hello and flew away. They had not come back for several years, and did not contact the family.

Grandpa Jiao shouted and told them not to come back. The Redwood Inn would never have one of them. However, Jiao's father stayed as the second son and took on the responsibility of the eldest son. Grandpa Jiao and Grandpa Jiao still saw that his nose was not a nose, eyes were not eyes, and asked Jiao's father, who was living in the field, to pay them alimony every month. Jiao's father thought that other younger brothers and sisters were unwilling to pay money, so he tightened his belt. Sometimes the family was really out of money. Jiao's mother and he used money to buy a pack of sanitary napkins, and they had to beat them to solve the problem.
