Chapter 136 That Bad Guy (4) (1/2)
Father Lin came back very early today. He was in a very good mood and bought a fish.
As soon as he entered the door, he smiled and handed the fish to his wife who came over after hearing the noise, "Cook this fish, the two children love to eat fish."
Mother Lin took it, but there was not much joy on her face: "Shixing said she wanted to continue to go to school."
Father Lin was stunned at first.
He and Mother Lin were from the same village, and their living environment was naturally similar. Although they have now moved to the city, because of the level of contact, Father Lin's concept is the same as his wife's, and has never changed.
A seventeen-year-old girl should get married. Why should she study? What's the point of studying now? Even if she is a college student, what's wrong? He is now in the woodworking factory. Isn't the accountant a college student? He works overtime every day, but he doesn't earn as much as the master in the factory.
"What's wrong with this child."
He muttered a little complainingly, but he didn't mean to blame.
In the eyes of Father Lin, Lin Shixing is still a child. Children are ignorant and it is normal to have some strange ideas.
She hasn't grown up yet. When she grows up, she will naturally figure it out.
So he said, "It's okay. If we don't give her money, she won't make a fuss. I've been busy with her work these days. You don't know, I found her a very good job, sitting in an office, not tired, four or five thousand yuan a month, and it's not too late to work. Then find her a husband and have a baby. When she lives comfortably in the future, she will know that we are doing it for her good."
Lin's father thought it was natural and never thought that his daughter would resist or disagree. After all, he has been the master of the family for so many years. The children have always done what he said at home. Even Shi Heng, who has always been naughty and playful, is always nice to him.
Lin's mother doesn't think so.
She held the fish, her eyes full of worry: "I think it's a bit troublesome. She insisted that she wanted to participate in a singing competition. I didn't allow her to go, so she tried to commit suicide. She wanted to jump off the building and kill herself with a knife. If Shi Heng hadn't found out, she might have been in the hospital now."
"His father, I think Shi Xing is serious this time..."
Lin's father still didn't take it seriously, and even felt that Lin's mother was fooled by the child.
"Shi Xing doesn't have the courage. I guess she's just trying to scare you. Children are like this, with a lot of tricks in their stomachs. We show our attitude, and she will behave herself when she finds that there is nothing to talk about."
"But..."
"Okay, okay, let's go and cook the fish quickly. When we eat later, I'll tell Shi Xing that she is sensible. Talk to her carefully, maybe she will listen."
As for what will happen if she doesn't listen, Lin's father also has a plan in mind.
No matter how disobedient she is, she is still their daughter. If they don't give her money to spend, she will have to listen.
Mother Lin went to cook with a worried look on her face. Because she was worried about something, she put too much salt on the dishes, which looked normal when they were on the table, but she found something wrong when she ate them.
There are four people in the family. Father Lin suffered a lot when he was young, so he is not picky about food and eats whatever he is given. After Lin Shixing was called out, he buried his head in his food and didn't say a word when he tasted the saltiness. As for Mother Lin, she was worried about something and couldn't taste anything, let alone taste it.
Lin Shiheng, the only one in the family who ate seriously, threw away his chopsticks after a few bites.
"There is too much salt at home and there is no place to put it? It's going to choke me to death!"
Mother Lin was interrupted by her son's dissatisfied voice and came back to her senses: "Oh, oh, I'll pour it back into the pot and add some MSG to lighten the taste."
"Hurry up and lighten it, it's choking me to death."
Lin Shiheng pushed several plates to his mother very impolitely, his face full of dissatisfaction and impatience.
Father Lin couldn't stand him like this, frowned and scolded: "What do you mean by bland? It's just a little salty, just drink more water!"
"You're almost choking my tongue, how can I eat this meal!"
The son who was spoiled by him was not afraid of him at all, and took his hand back directly: "No, no, no."
This disrespectful look made Father Lin's forehead throb, but even so, when he saw the face that looked similar to himself and was many times more handsome than when he was young, the anger in his heart subsided a lot.
He exhaled and slowed down his voice: "How can you not eat? Didn't you always call back from school and say you wanted to eat your mother's cooking? It's a rare holiday, eat more."
Mother Lin stood up, "I'll make it lighter."
Lin Shixing looked at this scene coldly. She had long been accustomed to the completely different attitudes of her parents towards her brother and herself. Even if she was jealous and uncomfortable with this different treatment, she would not show it.
But now, after saying that, Lin Shixing's mentality has changed.
She still can't easily abandon her family, nor can she be unaffected by them, because deep in her heart, they are still her parents.
Even if they are not as good to her as her brother, it is impossible for her to not feel a little warmth and family affection from childhood to adulthood.
So she can't let go.
The incident at the dinner table did not stop Lin's father from thinking about what his wife had said before. While the dishes were being taken away, he put down his chopsticks and looked at his daughter: "Shixing, I heard from your mother that you don't want to go to work and want to continue to go to school?"
"Yeah."
Lin Shixing lowered her head and stared at the chopsticks in her hand: "I have good grades. The teacher said that I will definitely be able to get into a good university, and I will also work part-time to earn tuition and living expenses, so my family doesn't have to pay."
Lin's father keenly saw that his always sensible daughter was not in a good situation. He paused, and suddenly realized that his thigh was hit by his son sitting next to him, and subconsciously raised his eyes to look.
Lin Shiheng pointed at his sister who was looking down at people, and put his hand on his neck again, rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue, and made a hanging gesture.
Lin's father still frowned. As the pillar and head of the family, he was not afraid of his child's threat of zi-i'sa.
Because he never took it seriously.
Just like Lin's mother, Lin's father would also put himself in the shoes of his children's education issues. Think about when he was 17 years old, he had a hard life and never thought of committing suicide. How could Lin Shixing, who eats and drinks well and lives a good life every day, commit suicide?
It's just a means to scare parents.
Father Lin thought it through, his face turned cold, and he slapped the table: "Don't think I don't know what you are thinking. Do you think that if you pretend, your mother and I will agree? This matter has been decided. You go to work first. I have negotiated it. You will sit in the office. At the beginning, you will get 4,500 yuan a month. It will increase over time. You will have one day off a week. Even if you graduate from college, you may not find such a good job. You are ignorant!"
"I am ignorant..."
Lin Shixing murmured these three words, raised her head, looked at her father with tears on her face, and asked in a trembling voice: "Dad... do you have to do this?"
"What about us? We are not for you. If you were not my daughter, I would not bother to care. I tell you, Lin Shixing, put away your crying and eat quickly. After dinner, I will take you to the factory in the afternoon. You should learn from others."
Lin Shixing put down his chopsticks.
Gently, without force.
She wiped her tears with the back of her hand, and her red and swollen eyes met her father's gaze. Her clear voice became hoarse and slowly rang out: "During the holiday, I will work part-time to earn money. I will go to school as soon as the semester starts. I will eat and live in school. I won't ask you for a penny. If you are not happy, you can come to the school to make trouble. I will definitely sit on the ground and cry, and call everyone in the school to tell them our home address, your name and factory address. By then, our family will be famous."
Father Lin was stunned by her words. After reacting, he stood up suddenly in anger: "Look at what you are saying, what kind of person you are! Who taught you!"
The instigator, Lin Shiheng, sat obediently.
Lin Shixing had a blank expression on his face, but his hands under the table were shaking: "The barefoot are not afraid of the ones wearing shoes. I don't rely on my family, and I don't take your money. If you don't let me go to school, the whole family will be embarrassed. Anyway, I'm not afraid of anything now."
"Okay! Okay!! You are not afraid of anything! You are not afraid of anything, right?!"
The Lin family rarely used sticks, but today Lin's father was really angry. Thinking about how he had used his connections everywhere and finally found a good job for his daughter, she ended up repaying him like this. He stood up and looked around the room angrily, picked up a broom and rushed over to hit him.
"I must beat you to death today, you unfilial daughter!!"
"Hey, Dad, Dad!!!"
Lin Shiheng, who was watching the show quietly, rushed up and hugged his waist from behind to prevent him from moving forward, "What are you doing? Lin Shixing is skinny and has no meat on his body. If you hit him like this, he will be killed directly!"
Lin's mother, who was in the kitchen and looked out from time to time, ran over and grabbed Lin's father: "His father, you, tell the child, what's wrong with you?" "Don't hold me! Look at what she said, as if we were hurting her. I must teach her a lesson today!" "Dad, teach her a lesson, put the broom aside first, mom, hold him! Lin Shixing, why are you still standing there, hide in the house quickly and lock the door! ! " The three of them were in a mess, only Lin Shixing, with a calm face, but tears in her eyes, quietly and sadly watching the scene. Angry father, mother who tried to stop the fight, brother who stood up at the critical moment even though they had a bad relationship. This is her family. Her despair is not because of her family's indifference and unfair treatment. But even if they treat her like this, they still love her. Sometimes Lin Shixing really hates this love. If she finds out that they don't love her, she can just give up everything and walk away, but the reality is that she knows they love her, and she loves them too. Because of this love, she couldn't let go of this family, even if there was disgust, quarrels, pain, and despair.
It was like she was split in half, and she was in great pain.
Lin Shixing felt dizzy and almost couldn't stand. She looked at her parents across from her and asked softly:
"Dad, Mom, let me ask you, am I your daughter or an accessory?"
"You kid."
Mother Lin replied hastily: "Of course you are our daughter, Shixing, don't make your dad angry, go into the house quickly, I'll tell your dad about school."
"What are you talking about!!"
Father Lin was angry and directly pushed his wife and children away, and raised the broom in his hand to hit them.
The broom stopped in the air, and Father Lin looked at his daughter who was looking up without any fear. She was looking at him with a pair of bright eyes swollen from crying, and he couldn't swing the broom.
Finally, he threw away the broom, pushed his daughter into her own room roughly, and locked the door with a key from the outside.
"You are not allowed to eat today! Reflect on yourself in the room, I will take you to the factory tomorrow!"
After such a commotion, he had no mood to eat. He said irritably that he would not eat anymore and went to the balcony.
Lin Shiheng looked at his mother: "Then Mom, let's continue eating."
A good family of four, only two people ate in the end. Mother Lin ate absent-mindedly and went to wash the dishes after dinner.
She had the habit of square dancing. She didn't want to go downstairs because something happened at home today, but Lin Shiheng urged her to go out.
As soon as Mother Lin went out, Lin Shiheng immediately found the key to open the door and shouted like a thief.
"Hey! Lin Shixing!"
Lin Shixing was sitting on the bed with his knees hugged, staring blankly at the tree outside the window. He turned around when he heard the voice, revealing his red and swollen eyes.
"Come on, get up. I'll help you find out what's going on. You just listen secretly."
Lin Shiheng pulled her up and took her to the balcony door. He made a silent gesture and whispered, "You just hide here. I'll go to the balcony."
Lin Shixing nodded silently and watched his brother, who was two years older than him, push open the balcony door and go in.
Father Lin was smoking.
There were at least five cigarette butts in the dustpan next to him. It can be seen that Lin Shixing's mood was seriously affected by this incident.
"Dad."
Lin Shiheng called out, and also leaned against the railing like his father, looking at the sky outside: "My sister wants to go to school, just let her go, our family is not really poor and can't afford the tuition."
"You don't understand, it's useless for girls to go to school."
"Why is it useless? This is not the old society. Dad, I know that in our family, you have always loved me more than my sister, but my sister also calls you mom and dad, and she is also your child. The family is not so difficult that she has to drop out of school. In our family, I, who has poor grades, went to college, and she dropped out of school first in her grade. What do you want her to think?"
"She can think whatever she wants. I raised her so big, and I am sorry for her?"
Father Lin took a deep puff of his cigarette and exhaled "You kids are ignorant and don't know the situation. I'll tell you this. Your sister is seventeen this year. She will be eighteen after the college entrance examination. She will be twenty-two after four years of college. Can she date a boyfriend while she's still in school? She'll definitely date after graduation."
"She'll have to find a job by then. The best she can do is to get the same salary I'm looking for her now. Then she'll get married and get pregnant. She'll be pregnant for ten months, and she'll have to take care of the baby after it's born. Do you know how tiring it is to take care of a child? Why didn't your mom go to work? It was to take care of you two. When you were little, she would wake up six or seven times a night. She could either work and take care of the baby at the same time, exhausted, or she'd give up her job to take care of the baby. When the baby grew up, she'd want to go back to work. Who would want a person who hasn't worked for several years and is old? ? Even if there is a company that wants you, how high can the salary be? "
"And I'm not kidding you. It's not easy for girls to find jobs. If they find one, they will encounter a lot of problems. You say, you have a good job, but there are hidden rules, bosses harassing you, and you go out to accompany drinking. Your sister is pretty, and she will probably encounter these things. After you negotiate a client, people will gossip about you behind your back. It's in bed... cough. "
Remembering that the person in front of him was not a friend chatting about gossip but his son, Father Lin stopped in time and changed his words: "The gossip was negotiated by improper means, and your mother said she wanted to participate in a singing competition. Do you know how dangerous the entertainment industry is? There are drugs, drugs, and everything. Do you think we can rest assured? Your mother and I don't expect you to be glorious, Just be ordinary, live a peaceful life and don't mess around. "
"Such a good job, it will be hard to find it again if you miss it. If I wasn't for her good, would I have heard of such an opportunity and begged for it to be kept for her?"
Lin Shiheng still looked like he didn't take it seriously: "Dad, what you said is too extreme. It's not her fault that Lin Shixing is pretty. You can't just cut it off now because of the bad things that may happen in the future, right?"
"Besides, you are obviously doing it for her good. Although this point of view is very wrong, you can't tell her. If you hide it, people who don't know will think she is not your biological child."
"What do you know, kid? Okay, okay, the wind is so strong, it will be damaged again, go into the house."
How could Father Lin be willing to give in to his children? The education and experience he had received since childhood would never allow him to do so.
So he drove them away directly.
"Oh."
Lin Shixing did not entangle, "Then I'll go in, Dad, you don't want to go in?"
"No, I'll smoke for a while, okay, hurry in."
Father Lin threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the dustpan in annoyance, and took out another cigarette and put it in his mouth.
Lin Shiheng opened the balcony door and went out, and saw Lin Shixing squatting on the ground crying with her mouth covered.
He pulled her and went into the house.
He hugged his sister's shoulders, patted her gently, and said impatiently: "Okay, don't cry."
Lin Shixing didn't want to bother about his tone at this time.
She leaned tightly in her brother's arms, her tears soaking his clothes, sobbing intermittently, "I want... I want to go, I really want to go... I like, I like singing, brother, I really want to go..."
"Go, go, go today."
Lin Shiheng patted her shoulders again and again.
"Stop crying. When have you ever been so submissive to me since you were a child? Your crying scares me."
"I'm talking to you. You should have some savings in your hands. Why don't you just run away? Why do you still ask your parents for their opinions? Our generation is separated from theirs by a ditch or a sea. Even if you cry to death today, they won't agree."
Lin Shixing cried and hiccuped, sobbing, "But I, hiccup, I'm not an adult yet. If they go to catch me back... hiccup... I still can't go."
"Why do they do this? Why... hiccup! They say they are good to me, but they treat me badly. Why? Is it because I'm a girl? Just because... hiccup! Am I not a son? Why can't they be good to me? Can't they be like the parents of other girls..."
She cried so hard that she seemed to faint from crying the next moment.
Lin Shiheng could only pat her shoulders and back to comfort her: "Don't ask why, your parents are all rigid in their minds. Think about it, if they suddenly ask you about your well-being, your first reaction must be that they are possessed, right?"
"How about this, you go to participate in the competition, and after you win and become famous, you can make more money, as much as you want, and then get married and have another daughter. At that time, you can treat her as well as you want your parents to be. How about it?"
"Yes!"
Lin Shixing responded heavily with a crying voice, and said with a strong nasal voice: "I want three daughters " "Okay, okay." "If it's a boy, I will teach him to be humble and polite and take care of his sisters." "Okay, okay." "Don't be like you, always bullying me." "Hey, I say, do you have no conscience? Who is here to comfort you? Are all my clothes wet with your tears? Get up quickly, pack your clothes, and take your ID." Lin Shixing stood up with swollen eyes, still a little confused: "Where are we going?" "Nonsense, take you to participate in the competition!" Twenty minutes later, Lin Shixing, who was still confused, stood by the window with Lin Shiheng. "Do you remember when we were young, we secretly climbed down from here to go out and play." Lin Shiheng's expression was full of nostalgia: "At that time, I asked you to go down first, and then called my parents to catch you. It was a wonderful childhood." Lin Shixing silently gritted his teeth and endured it. "So we go down from here?"
"You are so stupid. Mom is not here, Dad is on the balcony, and there is no one watching the door. Why don't you go through the window when there is a door?"
Lin Shiheng looked at his sister in surprise, as if he was looking at a huge fool.
Lin Shixing: "..."
She saw her unreliable brother tear a piece of paper after he finished speaking, and wrote on it.
[Dear Mom and Dad:
The quarrel in the family hurts me so much and makes me miserable. The world is so big, I want to see it. This should be considered running away from home. By the way, I also took my sister with me. I decided to take her to the Philippines. I heard that there are many illegal workers there who can make a lot of money. The boat has been found. We will leave tonight. It is considered as smuggling. Maybe you will not be able to contact us in the short term, or maybe our family will be separated in this life and never see each other for the rest of our lives, but it doesn't matter. My sister and I will miss you forever.
—Love you Shiheng, everyone loves reading 00
↑The above is fake. In fact, we just went to participate in the competition and traveled. Our phones were always open, we had money and all the documents, we didn’t take illegal taxis, we kept in touch at any time, and we came back in half a month.
Compared to running away from home to the Philippines and never coming back, is it easier for you to accept just going to participate in the competition?
Call me back when you see me, muah~]
