Chapter 457 The Crying Child Gets Candy (1)
"Da Xiuer, go wash the dishes!"
"Mom, I want to eat watermelon..."
"Da Xiuer, go cut a watermelon for your little brother and remove the seeds. He's still too young to spit them out!"
Where did my pencil go?
"Da Xiuer, go find a pencil for your sister, hurry up!"
Su Dingding opened her eyes and found herself sitting on the toilet in the bathroom. Coincidentally, it was her period.
Outside the restroom, the voices of a middle-aged woman and two children were alternating and arguing.
"Da Xiuer, why do you take so long to go to the toilet?" the middle-aged woman shouted impatiently. "I asked you to do something, and you dawdle like that. You're the most enthusiastic when it's time to eat, but you shrink back when it comes to doing chores. How did I give birth to such a useless daughter..."
"Ughhhhh!" the little boy started to throw a tantrum. "I want to eat watermelon, right now!"
Su Dingding rolled her eyes, looked at the messy clothes hanging in the bathroom, and felt a sense of suffocation.
"Gangzi, what kind of family am I in?"
[Host, you'll understand once you receive the original owner's memories; it's truly oppressive.]
This is a small world derived from a novel.
The original owner's name was Zhao Xiu.
Her mother became pregnant after being raped. She secretly took medication, but the pregnancy didn't end, and the truth was discovered.
To save face, her family forced her to marry a rapist.
Therefore, Zhao Xiu was not very bright when she was born, and her mother did not like her very much.
After her one-month celebration, she was left by her parents to live with her grandparents in the countryside.
Grandpa disliked her because she was a girl. He always had a cold face and treated her very badly. He would even give the best food to his second uncle's son in front of her, and then tell him to eat it himself and not to give it to his sister.
Grandma was slightly better, but being an old woman from the countryside, she was still quite conservative and often scolded her.
After Zhao Xiu started school, because she was not good-looking and a bit simple-minded, her classmates liked to bully her.
She didn't say anything, and just did whatever she was told to do.
When she gets home, she likes to help her grandma with chores; she can do all sorts of chores, both inside and outside the house.
When she was nine years old, her mother became pregnant again, this time with twins, a boy and a girl.
The whole family was overjoyed, but sadly, Grandma passed away before she could see the birth of her twin grandchildren.
With no other option, Zhao Xiu's mother had to take Zhao Xiu to live with her and serve her.
He did everything for her: washing clothes, cooking, shopping, pouring tea, and even helping her with her bodily functions.
After the twins were born, she couldn't take care of them alone, so Zhao Xiu had to help take care of the children.
He's been taking leave every few days, and his grades are getting worse and worse.
Every day, Zhao Xiu's mother would order her around while scolding her for being stupid, unable to learn anything, and not as clever as her younger siblings.
Seeing how much her family doted on her younger siblings, Zhao Xiu felt envious, but she never said anything and just worked like a slave.
Everyone in the family kept instilling in her the idea that when she grew up, she should earn money to support her younger siblings' schooling, and even when she found a husband, she should ask for a large dowry so that her younger brother could use it when he got married.
The point Su Dingding relayed was that Zhao Xiu had her first period, and she was terrified, thinking she was going to die.
Although she is already fifteen years old and in junior high school, she only attends school for less than two months a semester and is ranked last in her class, so she doesn't know much about hygiene.
She cried to her mother about it, and was scolded and given a sanitary napkin. Her mother also nagged that she would have to spend money on an extra sanitary napkin in the future.
Zhao Xiu dropped out of school before graduating from junior high and started working as a child laborer in small workshops.
The money earned wasn't even given to her; the workshop owner gave it directly to her mother.
After I became an adult, I changed to a job with a higher salary, but I still didn't see any salary; all the money was taken by my mother.
Later, they sent her to work in a big city and didn't let her come home for holidays. On the one hand, she could get double wages, and on the other hand, the travel expenses were too expensive. Of course, they also thought that her coming home would ruin the atmosphere.
It wasn't until Zhao Xiu's grandfather passed away that she was allowed to return.
Zhao Xiu had been away for three years and didn't even know that her family had bought a new house. When she arrived at the new house, she found that there was no room for her. They said that she rarely came back and that she could just sleep on the sofa.
What surprised her even more was that her younger siblings were all wearing T-shirts that cost several hundred yuan each, while she was wearing cheap clothes that she could just pick out from a bunch of stalls for ten yuan each.
At the dinner table, she finally mustered up the courage to say that she wanted to save money to buy a new phone and that she wouldn't be giving her family her salary next month.
As a result, she was verbally abused by her mother, who accused her of buying the phone to seduce men and slapped her twice.
The next day, at the funeral banquet for her grandfather, her mother was still slandering her innocence in front of the relatives. The relatives took turns advising her to behave herself, to know how hard her parents had worked, and to raise her younger siblings.
After returning to the city, Zhao Xiu was already feeling somewhat depressed.
Later, she fell ill and had a fever for three days, so she took leave to rest at home.
When her mother learned that she would lose her perfect attendance bonus for taking leave, she called and scolded her again, saying that she was becoming more and more dramatic and had to take leave even for a fever.
Zhao Xiu had her first argument with her mother. She cried loudly, and her mother cursed her with foul language.
After hanging up the phone, Zhao Xiu completely broke down.
However, she insisted on going back to work as soon as she recovered, but decided not to send money home anymore.
As a result, her mother went to her workplace and beat her severely, throwing a tantrum and accusing her of being unfilial, earning money but not wanting to give it to the family, and only thinking about keeping a mistress.
She said this because she had seen a picture of a boy on Zhao Xiu's phone before, and knew that Zhao Xiu liked that boy, but told her not to date unless the other party was willing to give her money.
After seeing that the boy was among the onlookers, Zhao Xiu's mother even pulled him out, causing Zhao Xiu to lose face completely.
That guy is so handsome, how could he possibly like Zhao Xiu?
Not only did the other employees in the factory laugh hysterically, but the boy also looked down on her, and Zhao Xiu's mother belittled her to the point of being worthless.
Zhao Xiu's beliefs in life completely collapsed, and she ultimately chose to commit suicide...
"Host, the original owner's wish was to escape that suffocating home and have a wonderful life," Gangzi said.
Su Dingding sat on the toilet, his face blank.
So, the squeaky wheel gets the grease, right? Well, she's a super good crybaby.
"Boom boom boom!"
The original owner's mother, Zhang Hongying, started banging on the bathroom door, yelling, "Zhao Xiu, is your big butt stuck in the toilet? Get out here right now! Didn't you hear your brother wanting watermelon?"
Su Dingding let out a cold snort, followed by a scream.
Zhang Hongying was frightened and knocked on the door even harder, but Su Dingding just kept yelling inside without saying a word.
"What's wrong? Say something!"
Unable to get a response, Zhang Hongying had no choice but to break down the door.
Then Su Dingding said slowly, "I've started my period. Get me a sanitary napkin, quick!"
