end of ten days.

I stood at the door of the house and hesitated for a long time, and I didn't even think about what to say in the first sentence.

At this moment, the mobile phone in my pocket vibrated. I took it out and saw that Xiao Sun had sent a WeChat message.

"Sister, are you here?"

Seeing this sentence, I felt a little relieved.

Yes, I haven't reported my little grandson's safety yet.

"I have arrived."

I wanted to put the phone back in my pocket, but I saw that he was "typing in", so I held the phone and waited for a while.

"Sister, my eyelids keep twitching, can you post a location? I'll pick you up after the wedding tomorrow."

I find it a little funny, is Xiao Sun also a superstitious person?

"What are you worried about? I'm going home, not going to the battlefield."

"No, sister." Xiao Sun quickly sent a reply, "Recently, I keep seeing news about bus accidents. I'm really worried. I just happen to be fine tomorrow, so I'll drive to pick you up."

"No, it's too far."

"Not far, send it to me."

Seeing that he was so persistent, I sent the location to him, and Xiao Sun replied "received" and nothing happened.

I put my phone away and let out a sigh of relief.

Yeah, I have my own life.

This time when I go home, I just want to put an end to this village.

End sooner, end sooner.

I pushed open the door and found that they were happily preparing to eat.

My mom, my dad, my brother, and a fat girl I've never seen.

That should... be my future siblings, right?

When these four people saw me entering the room, two of them rolled their eyes, and my siblings didn't even look up, they were eating all the time.

Only my old man just stared at me blankly.

It's nice, this expected welcome ceremony, this happy family atmosphere.

"Leidi is back?" The old man stood up and said to me expressionlessly, "Did you eat?"

"Dad, I ate." I nodded, "Chengcai is going to get married, I must come back."

"I just came back to wash the dishes." The woman said, "You haven't worked at home for so many years? I gave birth to you to make you happy?"

"I don't do it, Mom." I smiled and shook my head, "I paid you all for eating these things. I don't need to do the dishes for you anymore. It's not fair."

The woman's eyes obviously flashed a hint of ferocity. In the lawsuit field, she would only show this expression when she wanted to ruin the other party's reputation.

But I saw this look in the eyes of my biological mother.

"Hey...baby..." The man waved to me, "Come and sit down, let's eat something together."

"I don't want to eat, Dad." I took out a thick red envelope from my backpack while talking, and put it in front of Chengcai's eyes, "Chengcai, I wish you a happy wedding, and you have to be responsible when you get married in the future."

My younger brother picked his teeth with his hand, wiped his pants and opened the red envelope in front of my face, without even looking at me from the beginning to the end.

He roughly counted, quickly rolled his eyes, and then threw the red envelope in front of my mother.

"Damn it, it's only 1 yuan." Chengcai said.

"What?!" The woman was furious instantly, "Zhang Laidi!!"

"Mom, my name is Zhang Chenze now." I said.

"Zhang Laidi, are you embarrassing?!" She pointed at my nose and scolded viciously, "There are so many elder sisters in the whole village, and you are the only one who doesn't give money to marry your younger brother! You are 35 years old! Working part-time It's been more than ten years, and no one wants you, so can your brother be no one wants?!"

"Mom, I'm 33 years old." I said again, "The 1 yuan red envelope is my best benevolence. Since my younger brother has a family, it shows that he has the ability to start a family. From this month onwards, I will not give the family's living expenses any more. Yes, this time I came here specially to explain clearly to you.”

"What?!"

She immediately picked up an empty bowl on the table, looking like she wanted to throw the bowl in my face.

"Hey!" My old man stopped him instantly, "Forget it! Forget it! Laidi finally came back! Don't beat me!"

The atmosphere was suppressed to the extreme.

I sighed and turned around: "At first I wanted to show up at Chengcai's wedding, but now it doesn't seem necessary. Now that I've said everything clearly, I'm leaving now."

"Laidi!" the old man stopped me, "It's too late now! Is it worth staying for one night?"

I looked at the sky outside, and it was indeed a bit embarrassing.

The village is different from the city. After five o'clock in the evening, it is already pitch black outside.

Not only can I not get a car when I go out now, but even my mobile phone is running out of battery.

I turned around and nodded. Although I hate this place very much, these people are my relatives after all.

They just make me sick, not put me in danger.

"Then I'll stay for one night, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

"Leidi...don't stay at home for two more days?" the old man asked again.

"Well, I'm busy, I'll go back when I come to see you."

After I finished speaking, I walked into the inner room. There was my former room, which had not been cleaned for many years. It was full of sundries, and I could barely find a dusty bed.

This environment is not too bad for me. After all, I have slept on the sofa for three years, and there is nothing I can't bear.

I climbed onto the bed, brushed away the cobwebs at the head of the bed, found a wall socket that had been dusty for a long time, then took out the charger from my backpack, and charged up my phone.

Fortunately, I was wearing casual clothes, so I just went back and washed them when they got dirty.

This time I am here to cut off this difficult family relationship, so I will suffer a little bit, which is fair.

From now on, I will gradually get better and try my best to "explore happiness".

I didn't turn on the light, just looked out of the dark window in the dark room.

The village is quieter than the city, with no cars honking their horns passing through at midnight, and no drunk lunatics yelling in the streets.

I'm just a little hot, and the weather in June has brought a lot of flying insects in the room, but it doesn't matter, it's just some mosquitoes and moths, and I often get close to them when I'm in Chengdu.

As long as I can get through tonight, I can start my new life, which will be a long night all to myself.

"Leidi... asleep?"

The old man's voice sounded at the door.

He was standing outside the door holding a stainless steel mug.

I slowly frowned: "No, what's wrong?"

"I'll give you milk." He whispered, "I haven't reminded you to drink more milk for so many years."

He put the cup on the table, sighed, and walked out of the room.

Looking at the still swaying glass of milk, I just felt sick to my stomach.

When I was nine years old, the old man heard that drinking milk can make a woman's breasts bigger, so she can find a better man. From then on, he brought me a glass of milk every night.

He doesn't care if I eat or not today, whether I am happy, whether the milk is expired or not, or whether it is too cold to swallow, he only cares whether I drink milk or not.

This makes me want to throw up at the sight of milk for a long time.
