Ask for peace of mind

Xu Wei'an, who returned home, really experienced a family dispute.

Mrs. Xu beat and scolded him, and whipped him with a stick, "You are useless, the old Xu's family saved money for your studies, what do you think you have studied? You dare to show your grades, It's not too shameful. Our old Xu family is dragged down by you, a wretch."

Sun Yulan stopped Mrs. Xu, "Mom, Wei An's grades have always been good, this time maybe he didn't perform well, give him another chance, let him repeat it." But she couldn't stop Mrs. Xu, Mr. Xu The wife also had a bad temper, so she turned her head and beat her with a stick, "Let him repeat it again? Do you think that the old Xu's money was blown by the strong wind? You are a troublemaker. If it weren't for you not being able to have a child, How can the Xu family support him, a worthless wretch."

Sun Yulan was stabbed to the death point, and her face turned pale immediately. After being hit by the stick, she didn't dare to stop Mrs. Xu, and hurried to hide beside her.When the two children of the Xu family saw their mother being beaten by their grandma, they were so frightened that they cried softly.The two held on to Sun Yulan's clothes tremblingly, looked at grandma in horror, and sobbed softly.

Xu Limin stood beside him with a livid face, stopping Xu Wei'an from moving.Xu Wei'an gritted his teeth and could only squat on the ground with his head in his hands, letting the old lady Xu vent her anger.The stick fell on his back, and the pain was so hot that Xu Wei'an almost breathed out of the pain.But no amount of pain could wake him up from his despair about the future.

The old lady Xu struck ruthlessly, but she was also measured. She didn't move Xu Wei'an's legs and face, and beat Xu Wei'an's back until it was bloody and blue, but the bones were fine.Xu Wei'an was injured, but his face was fine, he could walk and move, and he had to go out to work.

It was summer, and the wound on my body had not been treated with medicine. Within a few days, the wound became a little inflamed and festered, sweat flowed out, and itchy and painful.The injury was on the back, Xu Wei'an couldn't see it, everyone in the family ignored him, even Sun Yulan didn't look good when she saw him, he knew that he couldn't ask for help.He could only hold the towel and roughly wipe his back. The rough towel wiped his back, and Xu Wei'an, who was in pain, wished he had to have that layer of skin on his back.After wiping, he poured coarse salt water on his back to wash.After the wound was treated, he was already sweating profusely, as if he had been lifted out of the water.

Fortunately, although his life was bad, his body was strong.Within two days, the wound on the back stopped suppurating.He thought, if the injury is healed, there will definitely be a reckoning.It's not the old lady Xu's style to just beat her up once, and the old lady won't let it go.

The result was exactly as he expected: the old lady was extremely angry, and Xu Limin might not allow him to go to school again in order to appease the elderly Xu.And Mrs. Xu was extremely disappointed in him and forbade him to live with her anymore. Xu Wei'an finally returned to live at home.

To Xu Wei'an's surprise, Xu Limin actually built him a rough room of a few square meters alone.Although the house was humid and hot, full of mosquitoes, not too high or too big, it looked like a dog's hole, but Xu Wei'an didn't expect Xu Limin to spend money for him.It is true that the house is small and there is no place to sleep, but the lessons of history are still there. Xu Limin is different from the old lady Xu.

Ever since Xu Weian was in junior high school, the Xu family had never paid him tuition.The Xu family asked him to ask his grandmother for money to pay the tuition, and he agreed every time, but without letting his grandmother know, he paid the tuition with his own savings.The Xu family thought it was his grandmother's subsidy and paid him the tuition. The grandmother thought it was the Xu family's generosity and paid him the tuition. The two sides never discussed this issue, so they didn't know that he saved the money to pay the tuition.But it is useless to pay for meals at school. The school cafeteria only accepts food and dry firewood.Every time Xu Wei'an asked his family for food, Xu Limin would find an excuse to beat him up. Xu Wei'an didn't believe that Xu Limin would change his mind and become generous.But Xu Limin did build him a hut this time, built him a bed with a door panel, and asked him to cover it with a bad bed.

Feeding chickens, pigs, mowing grass, weeding, and cooking every day, Xu Wei'an just got by and did the work. He didn't dare to think whether it was because Wen Di was disappointed in him and didn't reply.Now when he thinks of Wen Di, his heart is full of sadness, and he wants to cry but has no tears.Without Wen Di's guidance, he doesn't know where his future lies.

In October, the teachers were busy harvesting autumn, and Xu Dexiang and Xu Deping, who were in primary school, were on vacation.Like Xu Wei'an, the two of them followed behind the adults.

Xu Dexiang didn't know how to work, so he played behind with a rake, "Brother, help me hold the peanut leaves, and I'll dig out this nest of peanuts."

Xu Wei'an didn't want to talk to her, he had done a day's work yesterday, and in the morning he only ate a multigrain steamed bun and came over to shave peanuts in a hurry. Now he is tired and hungry, so he doesn't have the heart to play with her.

"You go over there to help your sister, just take a break." Seeing Xu Dexiang digging around alone, Sun Yulan was afraid that she would accidentally hurt herself.

Xu Wei'an reluctantly dropped his rake and reached out to hold the peanut leaves.

Xu Deping was still young, and had been playing with the dirt next to his sister. Seeing Xu Wei'an holding the leaves, he started to grab the rake in his sister's hand. "Let me plan first."

Xu Dexiang pushed Xu Deping once, and shouted: "Get out of the way!" He raised the rake and planed down.

Xu Yanping is the baby of the family, so there is no way to rely on him. He stretched out his hand to push Xu Dexiang, "Don't let me play, and I won't let you play either."

……

By the time Xu Wei'an woke up from the severe pain, the blood had flowed all over his arm, and dripped into the brown ground along his clenched fist due to pain.

Xu Dexiang and Xu Yanping were terrified, and burst into tears, crying, "Mom, it's bleeding, it's bleeding."

Sun Yulan panicked when she heard this, she threw the rake and ran over, she was relieved when she saw her two children were intact, but when she turned her head she was startled by the blood on Xu Wei'an's arms.

"Limin, come here, Wei'an is bleeding."

Xu Limin dropped the rake and came over, looked at Xu Weian's arm and asked, "Does it hurt?" Seeing Xu Weian nodded, he said to Sun Yulan, "Take him to the village health center."

Seeing that the sky was getting cloudy, Sun Yulan frowned and said anxiously, "It's about to rain, you have to dig out the peanuts in this acre of land quickly, or they will rot in the ground again."

Xu Limin hummed and went back to work.

"The two of you follow your father and stay obediently, don't touch the nails again."

The two whimpering children were frightened just now, they said sorry to Xu Wei'an and slipped away.

Sun Yulan frowned, "How could you be so careless? Your sister is still young and you won't hide yourself." Seeing that Xu Wei'an gritted his teeth and didn't speak, his face turned pale and the blood was still flowing, so he Pull him to the health center.

Along the way, Xu Wei'an gritted his teeth silently enduring the pain, the sweat on his head wet his forehead and hair.Seeing that he was in severe pain, Sun Yulan felt a little uneasy, stepped up her pace, and said, "Does it hurt? Don't worry, just take some medicine to stop the bleeding and everything will be fine."

Xu Wei'an gritted his teeth and nodded to express his understanding.

The female doctor in the health center is the daughter of an old doctor in Murakami. She has not studied for a few days and can only prescribe some medicine or water for patients with headaches and brain fever.

The female doctor is also an enthusiastic person. After asking the cause of the injury, she kept moaning and sighing.He kept yelling about why he was so careless, but gently disinfected Xu Wei'an to stop the bleeding with his hands.She didn't have the ability to look at any serious illness, but she still said responsibly: "Take a good rest, and if your arm still feels uncomfortable in two days, go to the town hospital for a visit. An arm injury is not a trivial matter. If you hurt your nerves, you will be injured for the rest of your life." Your arm is useless."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yulan turned pale with fright, pulled the doctor and asked, "It's just being scratched with a rake, can it be so serious?"

The female doctor glared at her angrily, "Why don't you take good care of the child, what if the child loses his arm, parents don't worry at all."

"Yes! Yes! I was careless this time, and I will pay more attention next time." Sun Yulan kept nodding her head, with a very ugly expression on her face.The old lady's illness hasn't improved yet, and she still needs to be treated with medication. If something serious happened to Xu Wei'an's arm, her family would definitely not be able to afford it.

The female doctor prescribed some anti-inflammatory drugs and let them go.

Xu Wei'an Cheng didn't say a word, he gritted his teeth in pain, thinking that he might really be unlucky.His arm was sore and weak, and his thumb and index finger were a little out of control, and he didn't know what was going on.Looking at Sun Yulan who was frowning beside her with a livid face, he finally swallowed what he wanted to say.

The autumn harvest was busy, Sun Yulan told Xu Wei'an a few words and then went back to work in the field.Xu Wei'an staggered home alone. He was tired and hungry, his head was dizzy, his whole body was sore, his arms were throbbing, and he was at a loss, not knowing what the future would hold.He looked up and looked around, and what he saw was a gray and messy rough house, with various dry firewood scattered around the house.Looking up at the sky again, dark clouds were pressing towards him, making him almost out of breath.

Xu Wei'an shook his head, getting rid of the warm smile of that person in his head - he no longer dared to expect that kind of warmth anymore.In September, he asked Xu Qing, who was admitted to No. [-] Middle School, to send him a letter, but he still hasn't received a reply.

During the summer vacation, he still thought that if he really had no chance to study, he would go to work outside and earn money before going to school.But after returning home, he lost his freedom. He was beaten and worked like a mule every day, without rest.Whenever he wanted to stop and have a rest, Mrs. Xu would yell at him: "You can't even go to school for you, and you can't do work if you are asked to do it. What can you do? Are you really letting my family raise you for nothing? "

It was difficult for Sun Yulan to do things at home. Her husband was filial to her mother, and she was usually angry with Mrs. Xu.At the beginning, when she heard Mrs. Xu swearing, she would stop her out of guilt, but she couldn't bear it after a long time, so she pretended that she didn't hear what the old lady said.

Xu Wei'an started to minimize his presence at home as he did when he was a child, working as much as possible and eating less.It's just that his obedience and obedience did not allow him to be free. On the contrary, the Xu family saw his mule-like potential and squeezed his energy and physical strength even harder.

He also thought about running away, but now Wen Di has not heard back. Grandma is the only emotional support he can have, and he cannot lose her.If he lost his grandmother, he would really be like a rootless duckweed in this world.

He touched the weak thumb and index finger on his right hand with his left hand, and he knew that Mrs. Xu would never allow him to exist, and maybe he would be free this time.It's just that he may never be able to study again in his life.Thinking of the agreement with Wen Di, tears welled up in his eyes involuntarily, but he forced them back, he couldn't think about this person any more, he would be weak.

The outside world is not necessarily better than home, but he thought, no matter how bad it is, it can't be worse than it is now.
