Mother Lin untied her hair and was about to take a shower. Hearing the eldest son's roar, the rubber band fell to the ground with a flick of his hand, and he opened the bathroom door and rushed out.
Three minutes later, Lin Shixing, who was rushed in by her disheveled hair, was pulled off, and Lin Shixing, who was dragged into the living room and pointed at her nose, was still blank.
"Isn't it because you won't be allowed to participate in that shit competition, you will commit suicide with me, Lin Shixing, do you have any brains, and you have lived so much in the belly of a dog??"
Lin Shiheng added "Mom, you're right" beside him: "That's right, don't your parents know that your body is affected by hair and skin?"
Mother Lin's heart was hurting with anger, and being fueled by him, she immediately became even more angry, "Tell me about you, why are you not convinced! Since childhood, how have you been worse than your cousins? I send you to school, buy you clothes, and let you live in a room by yourself, like I used to, how can I get such good treatment, I have no food, no drink, no clothes, and I have to squeeze with your aunt and the others. The house is on a kang, and when I was a teenager, I went out to work early..."
She usually likes to nag about the hard years in the past, and Lin Shiheng added: "With a salary of more than 20 yuan a month, I work from morning to night every day, and I can't even eat a piece of meat."
"right!"
Mother Lin gave her eldest son a loving glance, "It's still Shiheng sensible."
After praising the eldest son, he immediately pointed his finger at the younger daughter: "Look at you again, you are not obedient at this age, always yelling that we are partial, we are not good to you, let you eat it again when I was young. If you suffer, you will know how good the family treats you!"
Lin Shixing didn't want to cry in front of her, but just now, her mother's loving eyes when she looked at her brother seriously irritated her, and she couldn't hold back the tears. But he still choked up and cried: "Did you have the same age as now? You let me drop out of high school after graduating from high school, what will I do in the future? If my grades are poor, then don't say anything, obviously my grades are so good, you rely on it What made me drop out of school to work part-time!"
Mother Lin frowned, "The situation at home is not good now. Your father's factory is about to close down. There is really no money for you to study."
Speaking of this, Lin Shixing wiped away his tears, "You always tell me that the factories at home are in recession, that life cannot go on, and that there is no money in hand, and every time I come back from vacation, you tell me that I can't even buy vegetables. From then on, I study hard. I get up at five o’clock and read a book, for fear of making my roommates take books to read in the corridor outside. When get out of class is over, my classmates are shopping and chatting, so I hurried to the toilet for fear of not having time to read. , Everyone slept at night, and I hid under the covers to review with a flashlight. I came here every day, why? Not for those scholarships, but to lighten your burden!"
"Now my grades are the first in the grade, and I can get scholarships every year!! I can earn tuition and living expenses, why don't you let me study, why!!"
The last sentence was almost roared by her with a cry.
Lin Shixing has been a quiet and obedient child since he was a child. When he was very young, he took the initiative to help his family. After school, he never bothered at home. Mother Lin had long been accustomed to her obedience and obedience. Roar, the emotions that had been righteously subsided unconsciously.
She lowered her voice a little:
"Speak well, what are you yelling, you are a girl with such a high education, you will get married sooner or later, I tell you, don't think that I am hurting you, I am your mother, not a stepmother, do you know You know, in today's society, the more educated a girl is, the less likely she will be able to marry."
Speaking of this, Mother Lin's self-righteousness, which had dissipated a little, suddenly doubled back to her body, "You know what that one is called, leftover girl, yes, leftover girl, do you know why it is leftover girl? It's because her education is too high, and no man dares to marry her. I'm afraid that I won't be able to hold back, and no one will want it after a lot of age, if I'm not afraid that you will become like this in the future, why should I bother!"
"So you're going to marry me? Marry a man five years older than me??! Mom! Are you so eager to sell me?!"
"What are you selling, don't talk so badly, what's wrong with being five years older, you know it hurts when you are five years older! Your dad is three years older than me!"
Mother Lin looked at her daughter with hatred full of hatred: "I just want you to talk to him, do you know how rich his family is? Didn't I make it clear to you last time that his house has been demolished? , lost a lot of money, and still have three houses. Her mother and I have a good relationship. She said that if you get along well, she will give you a separate set when you get married, and give you another 500,000 to spend on your own. At that time, my in-laws were not around, and he was the only child. In the future, this family background is not all yours. How many years of struggle, you can see how much money your father and I have earned in most of our lives. You can have this opportunity. You should thank me Ah, how ignorant!"
Lin Shixing looked at the mother in front of her. Her eyes were indeed full of condemnation. The words she just said were the truest thoughts in her heart and were not adulterated at all.
For a while, Lin Shixing felt a sense of despair that he couldn't communicate with his mother for the rest of his life.
She wanted to say that she studied for herself, not for marriage, and she would never marry a man five years older than her who had never met for the sake of a house or money, but she also knew that these words Come out, Mother Lin will never listen.
It was like she had cotton stuffed in her ears. No matter what her daughter said, she could directly filter out the words she didn't want to hear.
Tears glistened in Lin Shixing's eyes, and the hope that had been raised because of her mother's nervousness faded a little bit.
Let's go, there is no need to stay in this home anymore.
Just when Lin Shixing made up his mind, Lin Shiheng suddenly interjected: "Mom, Lin Shixing is not yet an adult. If you want to push her to marry, she can sue you."
Lin Shixing was stunned when he heard his words, and looked at his brother with red eyes.
"Sue, sue me?"
Mother Lin was stunned. She always listened to her son's words. Isn't it her own business to let her daughter marry
"Yes indeed."
Lin Shiheng smiled and said with an air of arrogance: "Our country has a law on the protection of minors, and Lin Shixing is not of legal marriage age. If she is forced to marry someone, she will sue you and my father. Go to court and sue one by one."
"This, there is such a thing."
Lin's mother rubbed her hands together, but she had no doubts. She always believed her son's words the most. After all, in this family, she and Lin's father both graduated from elementary school. Naturally, they trusted their son who was going to college.
"Then it's okay not to marry, and it's okay to wait until the age to marry again."
"No mom."
Lin Shiheng continued to brutally interrupt her thoughts: "She doesn't want to, then you are helping the man to rape her, and then you will all be sued. The man's main culprit, you are an accomplice, how can you be sentenced? two or three years."
Mother Lin was stunned.
This doesn't work, that doesn't work either, but she managed to find such a good marriage for her daughter.
She was so distressed that she could only give in in the end.
"That's fine, if you don't get married, you won't get married."
Lin Shixing had a feeling of being reborn after a catastrophe. Before she was happy, she heard Mother Lin plan:
"Shixing doesn't get married, so go to work. I originally said that after high school graduation, it would be nice to say it out loud, and if you marry, you can get your back straight. Since this marriage has become a problem, go to work, just to relieve the family's worries. burden."
The joy on the girl's face froze.
She couldn't help crying, and subconsciously begged: "Mom, I can get a scholarship, I can also work part-time, you can't let me drop out of school, if I drop out of school, I will never have a chance in the future..."
"Hey mom."
Her voice interrupted her words, Lin Shixing wiped away tears, looked at the brother in front of him and said with an impatient look: "Are you in charge of her? She has a scholarship and can work part-time. Tutoring makes money, you can earn enough money during the holidays, Mom, if you don’t let her go to school, she goes straight to school with her schoolbag, how can you shamelessly drag people back.”
Lin Shixing stared at him blankly, the thought that "you can't do anything if your parents don't let you do it" in his mind was suddenly pierced by these words.
Yes, she has the ability to make money on her own. Although she doesn't have much time off, she is the first in her grade. It's quite easy to find a job as a tutor. In addition to the scholarship and this long vacation to make money, she doesn't need to do it anymore. Depends on family money.
What's the use of her parents' disagreement. She hides at school. Dad wants to save face, and she will definitely not agree with her mother to go to school and bring her home.
Mother Lin was stunned by this sentence again.
"This, how can this work? If we don't want her to go to school, we can still keep her in the school?"
Lin Shixing paused, yes, her parents wouldn't let her go to school, even if she wanted to go to school, her hope was very slim.
Lin Shiheng's impatient ruffian voice sounded again: "Mom, why don't you make sense, the state stipulates nine-year compulsory education, she Lin Shixing is only seventeen this year, it's illegal for you to do this, and you will be in jail by then. Don't worry if I didn't warn you."
"Also, don't think about going to school to be embarrassed, now it's an online society, do you think it's when your scum is slag, whoever does something takes ten years and eight months to spread to other people Going to a city, network society, you know? Everyone has a mobile phone, and who has done something and posted it online, the whole country will know it in a second. If you go to school, the teachers and students of their school will take pictures. Come down, our family is still not a human being, how can I hang around in school!"
Mother Lin was dizzy at her son's series of words, and she couldn't turn around. After a long while, she muttered, "Why is this, I also take care of my daughter's country, we didn't go to primary school in the past. Nobody cares."
"You were just a small village back then, and you didn't even have an old-fashioned telephone. Who cares."
Lin Shiheng's tone was very contemptuous. If Lin Shixing said this, he would have been scolded long ago, but who made him the precious egg of the Lin family, so not only did he not get scolded, but he also received criticism from Lin's mother.
"Shi Heng, it's your filial piety, you know to tell Mom."
The ruffian young man, whose appearance was even more amazing than Lin Shixing, raised his head and showed a smile that had nothing to do with filial piety at Mother Lin.
"Mom, if you know, just give me some money, I have to recharge the card again."
"Eh, good."
Mother Lin was easily led astray, and while giving money to her son from her pocket, she said to the thoughtful Lin Shixing: "Since your brother said so, then you can continue this study, anyway, the tuition fee Don't think about taking it from me, and the singing competition that you said before can be on TV, you are not allowed to go, I told you that the women on TV are very shameless, one wears less than the other , those with short skirts can see briefs, as well as those with exposed backs and chests, they are smoky, and they will be bad for learning!"
"Okay, okay, don't stick around here, go back to your room... No, no."
Thinking that her younger daughter was going to commit suicide by jumping off the building just now, Mother Lin was still a little scared. After thinking about it, she grabbed Lin Shixing and pushed her into the windowless guest room.
"I'll tell you Lin Shixing, you're here to give me a good reflection, when you know what's wrong and when you come out."
-boom!
The door was slammed shut.
Mother Lin locked the door outside with peace of mind, and then said to her son, "Shi Heng, Mom, go take a bath, go and play in the house, and I'll call you when you eat."
"Eh!"
Lin Shiheng readily responded, watching Mother Lin go to the balcony to collect clothes, strolled around the living room, picked up the fruit knife on the table and held it in his hand, turned around and entered the guest room.
In the guest room, Lin Shixing was sitting on the bed with a contemplative face when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening. When he looked up and saw Lin Shiheng, his expression suddenly softened.
"What are you doing here?"
"To help you."
With his hands behind his back, Lin Shiheng raised his eyebrows and smiled at her: "Hey, Lin Shixing, did that competition have a lot of money?"
Lin Shixing looked suspiciously at his brother who had bullied him since childhood: "Yes, what do you want?"
"I want to change a laptop, I want to change a new mobile phone, and I'm missing a few pairs of running shoes."
The young man with a perfect appearance showed a wretched smile of "you know", "Although you have a bad temper and you are ugly, as your brother, I can still find the good things in you, at least you can sing. really not bad."
"Well, I'll help you get Mom to agree with you to participate in that competition. You won the bonus, and you're half-pointed with me."
If Lin Shiheng doesn't want anything, he will help her. Lin Shixing might even wonder if this person has any other conspiracy, but since he is asking for something...
She pursed her lips: "Twenty-eight."
"Hey, you even raised the price with me."
Lin Shiheng, who just barely made a "I'm for your own good" look, really changed his face in seconds, "Lin Shixing, do you know your current situation, you, our parents can only listen to me, if I don't say anything , you definitely won't be able to go, I'll give you 50% and I'm very worthy of you, don't put your nose on your face."
Lin Shixing was unmoved: "Sanqi."
"If you do this again, I'm leaving. Let me tell you, you need me now, not I need you."
"Four or six."
"Okay, deal!"
Lin Shiheng directly took out the hand that he had been carrying on his back, turned the fruit knife in his hand dazzlingly, and laughed twice:
"Hey-hey."
As soon as he saw the knife, Lin Shixing became vigilant and leaned back subconsciously: "What are you doing with the knife!"
"You don't understand that."
Lin Shiheng acted as if he didn't see her dodging, and stepped forward and shoved the hilt into Lin Shixing's hand: "Hold tight."
"For the sake of money, I'll teach you a few tricks for your brother today. Do you know what a crying child has milk to eat?"
Lin Shixing held the knife: "What the hell are you doing?"
"Tell you a secret to dealing with Mom."
The corners of Lin Shiheng's mouth twitched proudly, and raised his eyebrows at his sister: "If you cry, make trouble, and hang yourself, my mother will eat this."
As he said that, he grabbed Lin Shixing's hand holding the handle of the knife, turned his head and started shouting:
"Mom! Come on! Lin Shixing said she's dead!!"
"—I want to kill myself!!!"
