I heard you are a junior

Seeing that she couldn't hide it anymore, mother quickly closed the door, turned her head and covered her mouth, "Xiaoya, don't be so loud, your father will hear..."

"He beat you, right!" Liu Jinya was so shocked, she pushed her mother's hand away, and asked angrily, "You gave the account password because you were beaten by him, right!"

Mom didn't want to admit it, so she put it mildly, "No, he was drunk that day, and he was confused for a while..."

Seeing her mother submissively helping her father to speak, Liu Jinya sneered, grabbed the medical records and test sheets on the bed and yelled loudly, "You can hit someone in a moment of confusion! Why do you still help him speak, these injuries are not painful enough!"

Her voice became louder and louder. Seeing that it was about to reach Dad's ears, her mother calmed down, "Don't get excited, can we go out and have a good talk?"

"Go out?" Liu Jinya frowned, "That's fine, tell Dad clearly."

"No! I mean... let's get out of here first." Mom stopped her.

The attitude changed too quickly, Liu Jinya became suspicious, "Are you serious?"

"Shh." Mom persuaded softly, "Let's go out and talk about it when we go downstairs. You pretend you don't know anything, or Dad won't let us go."

Liu Jinya thought about the disparity in strength, endured her anger, and helped her mother pack things up.

When the mother and daughter walked through the living room, Dad was still changing channels with his legs crossed. He heard the sound of the door opening and glanced over, "Where are you going?"

"Xiaoya is leaving, I'll see her off." Mom said.

Liu Jinya looked at her father with disgust. If she didn't want to take her away safely and smoothly without any trouble, she might have rushed to ask her father why she did this.

They closed the door and went downstairs. Mom was silent, helping her gather up the flying coat, and gently persuaded, "Don't be angry, the matter is over."

"It doesn't matter if it's over!" Liu Jinya became excited, "There is only a difference between domestic violence once and countless times!"

Mom frowned, "It's just a time of confusion, so it's not enough to talk about domestic violence..."

"Beating you to the hospital is not considered domestic violence?" Liu Jinya stopped and asked angrily, "Does killing you count as domestic violence?"

Her excited attitude was not in line with mother's wishes. Mother sighed, moved her lips and finally said nothing, took her hand and hurried down the stairs.Liu Jinya thought that she would have plenty of time after returning home, and it would not be good to make noise and attract the attention of neighbors, so she closed her mouth, held her breath, and followed her mother down.

When we reached the stairs, my mother stopped and refused to go any further, and said softly, "Go back."

"What about you?" Liu Jinya was surprised, "You won't come with me?"

"Your father swore he would never do it again." Mom said softly, "He has changed. He doesn't play cards for several months. He only watches TV at home and won't lose his temper..."

Liu Jinya sneered, "Mom, how many times has he said he would change it over the years? How many times did it take more than half a year? Haven't you seen through his nature yet!"

Mom bowed her head in silence.

"He hit you." Liu Jinya tried to make her mother understand the seriousness of the matter, touching the slightly raised scar under her mother's sleeve and said, "Even with a knife, if you hit harder, you will die immediately .”

Mom defended, "He...he has a sense of proportion. You can see that these wounds are very shallow."

Liu Jinya was dumbfounded, "Are you still speaking for him?"

"You go back." Mom insisted, "I have married such a man in my life, and I have accepted my fate. You are still young and have a long way to go in the future. There is no need to worry about old things like us."

Liu Jinya still couldn't believe her mother was so weak, she stared blankly.

Seeing her silence, my mother thought she had listened, and tried to persuade her, "I was confused last time. It's fine if you refuse to introduce someone who is so close to your father. Now that you work in a big company, talk to your colleagues more. Build a good relationship and find a way to meet a good man. I know you are not short of money now, but having a man in the family will always make you feel at ease, and you can handle any accidents..."

When Liu Jinya heard this, she realized something, "Accident? Do you mean that Dad came to ask me for money?"

Mom stopped talking and looked away.

Liu Jinya recalled many details in an instant, and smiled wryly, "You asked me to find a man to protect you last time, just to prevent such accidents."

"That's right." After seeing the truth of the matter, mother admitted and confessed, "Your father said, as long as I don't get divorced and live with him well, I won't bother you..."

Liu Jinya was anxious, "Mom! How can you believe such words!"

"Can I not believe it?" Mom smiled wryly, "Divorce is not so easy."

"Why is it not easy! Why don't I just leave? I'm living a good life now!" Liu Jinya pointed to herself.

Mom sighed, "That's because Xu Rongyuan is also willing to divorce. Your father is a dead-headed person, and he won't nod even if he puts a knife on his neck if he doesn't want to."

"He can leave if he disagrees!" Liu Jinya said hastily, "Domestic violence alone..."

"No, my injury has healed." Mom said.

Liu Jinya was on the verge of collapse, "Is it enough if the injury is healed? Are you afraid that he will hit you again?"

My mother shook her head, "During the National Day, I didn't let you come back, just because I was afraid that you would be worried when you saw the wound. Now you know, it's probably a matter of fate... Xiaoya, at this age, my mother knows how to live. , you just take good care of yourself."

Seeing her mother living so without dignity, ignorant and ignorant, Liu Jinya suddenly didn't know how to persuade her, numbly pushed a few steps away by her mother, looking back, saw a thin figure waving to herself.

When she was a child, she felt that her mother was the greatest person, as long as she was with her, she didn't have to be afraid of anything.

When she grew up, she realized that her mother was so weak, willing to stay by the side of a man who was devoid of conscience and started to attack his wife.

Liu Jinya was not surprised that her gambler and lazy father would become what he is today, but she was disappointed to find that her mother's concept was so old-fashioned, and she wasted time innocently and masochistically staying beside a worthless man.

"Xiaoya." Mom noticed the look in her eyes, neither angry nor annoyed, and softly persuaded with a temperless gentleness, "You go back first,"

Liu Jinya took another look at her mother carefully.

My mother was standing downstairs in the old house, her body trembling. Even when she was seeing her off, her steps were still within one meter of the stairs, as if she was bound by invisible shackles.

Obviously it can be better!

Liu Jinya is heartbroken, but she also understands that her mother's thoughts cannot be changed for a while. She wastes more time here, just wasting each other's time.

"Okay," she sighed, "I'll see you next time."

Liu Jinya didn't say the warm words of "come back next time".

Locked up with a bad father and a cowardly mother, she really didn't want to call it home.

-

Along the way, Liu Jinya kept thinking about what she saw in her mother's room, and regretted not taking pictures with her mobile phone.

There are still a lot of words in the medical record that she didn't understand. She felt that she had to ask a professional to let her mother understand the seriousness of these injuries and know that her father was not a person who was "proprietary" or "able to correct". No matter how difficult it is, no matter how long it takes, you have to bite the bullet and get the divorce done.

Liu Jinya smoothed the matter in a smooth direction, even considering whether she could borrow money to support the cost of hiring a lawyer, turned around and thought about what to do in the first step, and was sadly discouraged.

With the temperament of my mother being beaten and speaking for her husband, can you agree?

Liu Jinya was worried about too many things, passed the station without paying attention, and walked home slowly after getting off the bus, letting the bleak night wind make her cheeks cold and stiff.Today was the weekend, and there were quite a lot of people on the street, and many laughter and conversations reached her ears. The joy and excitement made her feel pitiful and lonely.

In a daze, Liu Jinya followed the prestige and saw couples eating at the small wooden table at the supper stand. She remembered that she dragged Zhong Yuxiao to eat wontons after working overtime last week.

It's not possible now.

Liu Jinya sighed, rubbed her hands together to make her palms warmer, looked at her empty ring finger and suddenly felt a little emotional—whether she was married or divorced, she was always alone, with relatives, colleagues, socializing with nodding friends, night time. When it gets deep, it disappears, only the lonely shadow follows.

For more than 20 years, she doesn't even have a friend who can talk freely.

Liu Jinya recalled the unfeeling words she had said to Zhong Yuxiao, and felt even more uncomfortable, and almost wanted to make a phone call.

The phone has been taken out and unlocked. She stared at the note of "Zhong Yuxiao" on the screen, her fingertips trembling, and she couldn't click it for a long time.

What is she?You obviously don't want to have an intimate relationship with Zhong Yuxiao, but when you encounter difficulties or feel lonely, you go back and make up?

Liu Jinya was powerless to lower her hands, and she detested her unsteady heart.

She stood by the side of the road where people were coming and going, until the young couple sitting in the garden cast strange eyes before moving away.Her steps were slow and heavy, wondering which step to go back to the past and change would make the present less miserable.However, after thinking about it, she felt that every step was in line with her awkward and timid nature, and she couldn't avoid it. Even if God gave her a chance to start over, she would still make a mess of her life.

Liu Jinya was depressed and fell into a sentimental dilemma and couldn't get out.

One stop was not far away, she moved slowly, but within 10 minutes, she arrived at another gate of the community.This time, she walked the opposite way as usual. She took a small path and suddenly saw Zhong Yuxiao's car hidden under the tree.

Liu Jinya was surprised, and after gathering her mind, she looked at the car that had stopped and waited for her, feeling a faint joy in her heart, and almost walked up to it.

However, as soon as she took a step, the leather boots knocked on the gravel road in the forest, which was very similar to the sound of running away in a hurry when she got off work.

Liu Jinya hesitated.

Obviously she was the one who said not to talk about feelings, not to be friends...

Liu Jinya recalled that when she first joined the job, she was looking for work all over the place, and Zhong Yuxiao disliked "don't do redundant things". She asked stupidly what "superfluous things" meant. Zhong Yuxiao frowned, and the answer was: "You Help, let someone else get the salary, there is no result, and it is meaningless to be treated as a fool who runs errands."

She went up to reconcile, but she couldn't give Zhong Yuxiao what she wanted, which made Zhong Yuxiao misunderstand that there was still hope.

There is no result and no point.

Liu Jinya lowered her head and quickened her pace to go around Zhong Yuxiao's car, but halfway there she saw Zhong Yuxiao get out of the car.

After a distance of about ten steps, the two of them looked at each other, no one spoke, no one approached, and they stood there awkwardly motionless.

Liu Jinya first avoided her gaze, thinking about what to do.

Zhong Yuxiao approached directly, and asked in a customary opening, "Have you eaten yet?"

Liu Jinya didn't dare to look up, stared at Zhong Yuxiao's shoe tip, hesitated for a moment and nodded.

"Oh." Zhong Yuxiao replied with a thin breath, softly.

Bewildered by the soft voice, Liu Jinya raised her head and found that Zhong Yuxiao was not wearing much, and the thin windbreaker wrapped her body made her look slimmer, her face was pale and her brows were frowning, as if she was very uncomfortable.

She guessed that Zhong Yuxiao hadn't finished dinner, "Go ahead and eat, it's bad for your stomach if it's late."

Zhong Yuxiao is a person who is very good at seizing opportunities. When he heard that there was room for negotiation, he immediately begged, "Will you go with me?" He spoke with a pitiful expression, and the soft long hair scattered on his shoulders made him fluffy. People want to stroke their hair.

Liu Jinya felt as if her heart was being pulled, but her intuition would be endless once she agreed, so she gritted her teeth and refused to nod.

"Okay, I'll go by myself." Zhong Yuxiao muttered, turning around to leave, staggering while rubbing her stomach.

Liu Jinya subconsciously went to help, "Be careful."

Zhong Yuxiao remained silent, his eyes were full of water, and his fair and tender face became smaller and smaller under the cover of long hair.

Being looked at so straight, Liu Jinya was completely defeated.

For such a juicy girl, if she fainted from hunger and fell on the road on this dark and windy moon night, it seemed a little unsafe.

Liu Jinya couldn't let go of her worries, thinking of a good person who will do it to the end, she nodded softly.

"I'll go with you."
