It was already 04:30 in the afternoon when Quanyuan arrived at his father's house.Quanyuan originally said to come at four o'clock, but now it is half an hour late.Uncle had evidently been waiting for her, and picked her up as soon as she reached the door.

Uncle didn't see Quanyuan for two or three months, so he took out the glasses that he didn't usually wear from his pocket and looked at her.

Quan Yuan laughed: "I am not a company document."

My uncle said, "I'm picky about eating? I lost weight."

Quan Yuan said, "Losing weight."

Uncle said: "What nonsense, don't lose weight like others."

"No loss, no loss, just kidding. Xia Tian has lost weight and has not had time to gain weight back."

"Eat more meat in autumn."

"Yeah." Quanyuan took off his uncle's eyes and put them away for him. "I heard you coughing on the phone, so I bought a Wendan back. Tell Auntie Zhang to peel the skin and boil honey water to drink."

"Okay, okay, it just so happens that your father has a bad throat these days, so go and call him."

Quanyuan was about to go upstairs when the stepmother just came down from above.

She holds a pot of chrysanthemums in her hand.The complex petals of the chrysanthemum are white on the outside and red on the inside, looking dignified and gorgeous, which complements the beautiful stepmother.Maybe because the chrysanthemum blocked her view a little, she didn't notice Quanyuan until Quanyuan made a sound.

"It's Mengmeng."

The stepmother was very young when she married her father, and she is only in her early forties now.Meticulously maintained and groomed, it looks like Wellspring's sister from a distance.But she is middle-aged after all, and her skin and body are beginning to age. If she stands with Quanyuan, her age can be clearly seen.

Quanyuan took the flowers from her hand: "Where do you put them?"

"Just put it on the ground, and we'll move to the dining room together later."

"Put it on the small table in the dining room?"

"That's right, the lights over there are so beautiful."

"I'll just put it up." Quanyuan lifted the flowerpot and put it in the dining room. When he came back, his stepmother was joking with his uncle.

"Mengmeng is just being nice to elder brother. Oh, this Wendan is well chosen. I can smell the fragrance from upstairs. Do you want to share half with me, elder brother?"

As the saying goes, old comes treasure, old comes young.

Quanyuan's uncle is already in his eighties, and his body is very strong, and his spirit is also very good, but his personality and temper gradually began to change.He likes others to tease him and praise him, and becomes a little childish.

When Quanyuan's stepmother first married in, she respected her husband's wise elder cousin very much, and would not talk to him like this, but now she has changed her way of getting along with kindness.

Compared with Quanyuan's first stepmother, this little stepmother is indeed a better person.

Quanyuan still remembers that his first stepmother always bossed his uncle around and never called him big brother.When Quanyuan's father was away, he intensified, and even called him Uncle Chen in front of the guests at home.

In my memory, my uncle always gave way to Quanyuan's stepmother.

Later, Quanyuan learned some things about his uncle sporadically.Uncle and father are not related by blood.It is said that the uncle's ancestor was bought by the Chen family as a servant in the time of Quanyuan's great-great-grandfather. He took the surname of Chen and gradually became the confidant of the master's family.Later came the long and difficult years of war. Uncle’s father was beheaded by bandits for the sake of Quanyuan’s grandfather. Quanyuan’s grandfather recorded this loyal companion slave in the genealogy and asked his children to treat his children as brothers.Later, the society was turbulent and the dynasty changed. During this period, the elder brother of the uncle and several uncles of Quanyuan passed away.The new era has finally arrived.The low class turned over and became the master, and my uncle obeyed his father's behest and followed the Chen family all the time, making suggestions and running back and forth.He is talented, steady and reliable. He had many chances to make a fortune, but he gave up all of them.The declining Chen family was finally pulled back up little by little, and after the situation stabilized, his uncle proposed to leave.He has received too many outdated ideas from his grandfather, father and brother, and cannot abandon the outdated concept of status.The close friendliness between the master and the young master made him feel uneasy and full of guilt.The process of how to retain and persuade him is omitted, but it must have been a precious and unforgettable event for Quanyuan's uncle and father.

Even so, the thoughts of servility and class division have eroded Uncle Quanyuan's soul, always making him show excessive humility and respect in front of the Chen family.

For example, he never called Quanyuan's father his younger brother.Occasionally, when he mentioned Quanyuan's father in his speech, he would call him Young Master Yuqing.

In my uncle's heart, the family surnamed Chen has a kind of nobility that he should not defile or cling to.

This may be loyalty, or it may be inferiority. It is this attitude that condoned the stupid concept of superiority and inferiority of Quanyuan's first stepmother.

—the victim is the source.

Sometimes Quanyuan felt that this woman who had been pampered and raised and later married her father was actually just a poor person living in her own fantasy.In her world, she herself is a noble daughter of a rich family, and her husband is a rich man who inherited a huge family with hundreds of years of background.She showed her nobility and uniqueness everywhere, as if she was performing an old farce of aristocratic family.

Uncle Quanyuan's connivance made her more and more arrogant and domineering.At the same time, Quanyuan was also overly influenced by that uncle who was very kind and kind to him.Her uncle's attitude towards her stepmother gave her an exaggerated awe of that stepmother.Quanyuan didn't dare to raise his head every time he walked past his stepmother, even if he was ridiculed and cursed, he didn't dare to cry or complain to his father.Quanyuan felt that he was extremely pitiful at that time, like a dirty and lowly beggar.

In her own house, she was like a slave, like a beggar, like an inferior person who was born to be despised and reviled.

The young Quanyuan looks at the world with the unique eyes of a child. She does not yet have her own complete values ​​and outlook on life. She thinks that her stepmother is really so noble and she is really so humble.She didn't dare and didn't know how to tell others how hurt she had been.

so young...

If you give her a rotten apple, she will think that the fruit is naturally so bitter.

Quanyuan began to fear staying in that house.Even the much-anticipated father's love couldn't cheer her up.Everyone thought she was shy or missed her mother.The stepmother also hugged her on her lap: "When your mother comes back, I will take you home."

Quanyuan lowered his head.Everyone thought it was the little girl making a fuss, but no one knew that it was the stepmother who pinched her arm severely with her nails.Quanyuan felt very painful, but she didn't cry or speak, she was afraid of her stepmother.

Quanyuan used to be such a very obedient, very obedient, and very stupid child.

Quanyuan stayed at his father's house for half a summer vacation, and then couldn't wait to return to his mother's side.In fact, she didn't know she had a father until she was five years old.One day when the five-year-old father suddenly appeared in the small but warm home, he had a small dispute with Quanyuan's mother and then calmed down and reached an agreement with each other.Sometimes my father would take Quanyuan out for a meal, and take Quanyuan by his side for a day, and Quanyuan would feel very happy.It never occurred to her why her father and mother did not live in the same home.She even thinks this is a normal family relationship.Every child has two homes, one belongs to the father and one belongs to the mother, and each child has two loves from two families.

At that time, the relationship between Quanyuan's parents was not that bad. They were like close friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. Although they were not warm, they had a good understanding.The young source can't figure out the relationship between his parents, can't figure out whether they will still have friendship with each other and whether they will regret their impulsive decisions when they were young.Quanyuan's parents are very restrained, and they don't talk too much even when his father picks up Quanyuan.Of course, Quan Yuan didn't know if it was unrequited love, or if it was a cover-up.Is it morality that constrains emotions, so that neither of them can say.Of course she didn't know anything, she didn't understand that there was love in the world at that age.Her understanding of the relationship between a man and a woman only stops when a prince meets a princess, and they end up getting married in a castle.There's always a witch or a bad maid who's jealous, and that's a very, very annoying character for Fountain.

The reason why Quanyuan moved into his father's house when he was five years old was because his mother's school held a summer camp for students.Quanyuan's mother is a painting teacher, and she will be away with the students in the summer camp for a month.Perhaps also holding the idea of ​​giving her daughter a chance to get close to her father, Quanyuan's mother did not take Quanyuan away, but gave her to her former lover.

Quanyuan left with full expectation.When she came back, she broke free from her father's hand and threw herself into her mother's arms.

She sobbed softly.

Mother asked: "Does Maomao miss her mother?"

Maomao is the nickname my mother gave to Quanyuan.Quanyuan's hair was slender and frizzy when he was a child, and it was always a little yellow like a lack of nutrition.

Quan Yuan said, "I want to."

No one knew how wronged the young Quanyuan had been.

She refused to tell her mother.

She vaguely felt that the aunt in her father's house was hostile to her favorite mother.She thought that if she said it, her mother would be sad too.

Quanyuan used to be such a very obedient, very obedient, very stupid, sensitive and filial child.

Then Quanyuan was six years old.

Quanyuan's birthday is in autumn.In the autumn when she was six, her father started to see her less frequently.Even when he meets his father, he always seems worried—Quanyuan's younger brother is sick.

Quanyuan's father and stepmother have a boy of their own.The boy is several months younger than Fountain.His grandparents doted on him very much, and they always took him abroad for vacation.Because he was a little boy in poor health, Quanyuan's father only took him to meet Quanyuan once or twice.The little boy didn't seem to show much hostility towards the fountain.At that time, he started to get sick, and it is said that he will spend a long time abroad to recuperate from the spring of the following year.After growing up, Quanyuan's memory of his younger brother is already very thin.I just remember that he looked as quiet as a girl, but also very pale and melancholy.

In the summer when Quanyuan was six years old, his younger brother died.

Quanyuan only remembered that he was taken to the hospital for a blood test in winter, and later saw his thin and frail brother who was sleeping soundly in the hospital.

That was Quanyuan's last impression of his younger brother.

In fact, at the beginning of winter, Quanyuan will spend three days a week at his father's house.The man who is about to face the pain of losing his beloved son is haggard and exhausted. The daughter can't drive away all the sadness. He can't help but sometimes ignore her daughter's feelings.Fountain was starting to be unhappy.Her father's sad face always made her feel depressed and sad.The stepmother didn't target her everywhere as before, maybe because she was too sad to have extra energy.Quanyuan's mother always said to Quanyuan: "Your brother is sick, you have to be obedient."

Quanyuan really endured that family's rejection of her obediently.

That kind of rejection comes from the vague neglect of the father, and from the deeply hidden hostility of the stepmother.

Then the younger brother died.

The stepmother was too sad to go abroad for recuperation.

Quanyuan's father gradually came out of his grief and began to make up for his daughter who had been neglected for five years and was finally found.

Quanyuan had the happiest seven-year-old birthday.

Her parents celebrated her together.

She felt like a little princess.

Near the end of the new year, the stepmother came back.

Quanyuan lived with his father three days a week as usual.A smile gradually appeared on the face of the stepmother, and sometimes she would bring Quanyuan to some gatherings among girlfriends.Like a salon for noble ladies, the stepmother displayed her vanity to the fullest.

Quanyuan began to be unhappy again.

But she didn't make this unhappiness too obvious.She was only quieter, no longer flitting happily about like a nimble bird.Everyone thought that although she was a small child, maybe her brother's death had some influence on her.

One night Quanyuan had a nightmare.

Mother woke her up: "What's wrong with Mao Mao?"

Quanyuan dreamed of his stepmother.

"I dreamed about the old witch," she said.

"Mother is here," said the mother, "the old witch is in the story."

——No, there are old witches in reality.

—she would look at me sullenly, and lean into my ear and say terrible things.

But no one knows.

No one knows what the young Quanyuan felt from his stepmother.

No one knew what kind of face appeared in the child's midnight nightmare.

Quanyuan has already attended elementary school.She started until her own family ways were deformed.Other children do not have two homes like her.She understands that when a prince meets a princess, they marry as husband and wife and live together in a castle.But father and mother did not live together, they were not even husband and wife.The aunt of the father's family is not an amiable elder who will give Quanyuan another love. She is a stepmother, just like Cinderella's father married someone else after her mother died.

—But my mother didn't die...

—The stepmother must be a bad witch.

Later, Quanyuan thought that he was the only one who recognized the essence of stepmother before all the disasters happened.

She saw the strange and insane viciousness of her stepmother, which seemed to come from an imaginary world.

It's just that Young Fountain didn't tell anyone.

She failed to expose this evil like a warrior.

She has too little strength and too little courage.She was afraid of her stepmother and endured everything without saying a word.

Then, some unfavorable rumors began to appear around Quanyuan at some point.A classmate said: "My mother said you were born by Xiao Mi, your mother is really shameless."

Neighbors also began to point fingers at Quanyuan's mother and daughter: "No wonder I raised my daughter and bought a house. It turns out that she is a little wife who was adopted by others."

Your mother is the third party.

Yes □.

You are an illegitimate daughter.

Your family is not a good thing.

Quanyuan became silent.

Mother is so strong and gentle, but she can't resist the hurt of gossip for her.

Quanyuan's father would tell others, this is my ex-wife, and this is my ex-wife's daughter.

But I don't know when someone got the inside information.

"A man is a boss. A woman climbs high and gets pregnant, but people don't want her. When a woman hears that a man's child is dead, she takes the child and sticks to it."

"oh, I see."

"Oh, what a shame."

In those days, single, unmarried mothers lived so hard.

Quanyuan asked his mother: "Did Mom and Dad really never get married?"

Mother was silent.

The young Quanyuan didn't know what acquiesce was, what was an answer that was exhausted and unable to speak.She just felt very sad... she felt very sad by her mother's silence...

Quanyuan said, "I want to drive that old witch away."

Quanyuan's mother finally knew who the witch her daughter was talking about was.

She said sternly, "You can't call auntie that."

Quan Yuan said, "We should live with Dad."

Mother said: "Don't talk nonsense about adults."

Quan Yuan was very wronged.

Very wronged.

—Why can't you see it?She is an old witch.

Quanyuan was reluctant to go to his father's house, and the adults had no choice.Quanyuan's mother felt that her daughter's hostility towards a man's wife was not correct. She would sometimes say to Quanyuan, "Go and see Dad, Auntie also said that she misses you."

Quanyuan will feel scared.

But Quanyuan really missed his father.

Uncle came to pick her up on the day of the Gregorian New Year: "How about going to Dad's house with Uncle?"

Quanyuan turned to look at his mother.Mother said: "Mom is going to hold a New Year's Day party at the school. Maomao will come back to accompany mother at night."

Quanyuan happily put his arms around his uncle's neck and left.When she was about to get home, she asked, "Is auntie at home?"

"Here I am."

Quan Yuan said softly, "I don't want to see Auntie..."

Uncle may not have heard.

Father is very busy on New Year's Day.Many guests came to the house, which was very lively.Quanyuan was handed over to the stepmother, who followed her to drink tea and play mahjong with the wives of his father's friends.The owner’s family just experienced the pain of bereavement, and no one brought the child here. Quanyuan sat alone in a small corner of the reception room, wearing beautiful new red woolen clothes, but he looked like a little match seller who was kicked out of the house on Christmas Eve. girl.

The stepmother was joking with the wives she was acquainted with, and said to her in the spare time: "Come here for a glass of water, what are you doing sitting in the corner pitifully? It seems like someone is bullying you."

Quanyuan went over to fetch a teacup, and heard some gossip about her being uneducated and unable to make it to the stage.

The tea was very hot.

Quanyuan was frightened and angry.

The teacup fell over her arm and stained the beautiful sofa seat.

The Victorian style furniture is a real antique, expensive and comfortable.The stepmother uttered a cry of surprise and dragged her over: "Hands and feet, she doesn't look like a lady at all! Do you know how much it costs to change the seat surface? The real hand-embroidered fabrics have to be bought in foreign antique shops! What a prodigal, what are you talking about?" What kind of children are born to such mothers.”

The back of Izumi's scalded hand was so painful.

Pain fueled her courage.

She pushed her stepmother and shouted: "You are not allowed to talk about my mother! You are crazy! You are not allowed to talk about my mother!"

In fact, Quanyuan is rarely exposed to such rough scenes, and his stepmother's sarcastic remarks are rarely poured out directly.The only things Fountain can say are psychos, idiots, villains, and old hags.She has no more nasty words to express her anger.

But she didn't know that the word neuropathy gave her stepmother such a stimulus.

She didn't know that her stepmother was suffering from severe depression because of her son's death, so she went abroad for recuperation and treatment.

Depression... After a long time, Quanyuan found out about her stepmother's condition.She thought depression was her own curse.Her stepmother's depression tormented her.Her mother's depression made her have a bloody memory.And her own depression... where would she end up?Go crazy like your stepmother, or die like your mother?

Quanyuan didn't know what would happen to him.

Countless years ago, the young Quanyuan was grabbed by the collar by his hysterical stepmother while standing in the reception room.

The stepmother yelled without grace, pouring a cup of scalding tea into Fountain's collar.

Quanyuan didn't cry, she just stared at her stepmother fiercely, didn't cry out the pain, didn't speak.

She never knew women could have such a vicious side until she met her stepmother.The wife who came to visit was flattering, superficially persuading Quanyuan's stepmother not to be too angry, but inside and outside the words implied that the illegitimate daughter would not be able to make it to the stage.Those words sounded like small needles piercing into Quanyuan's ears.She was originally a pure and innocent child who knew nothing about the world, and she was finally taken home by her father, full of longing and joy in her heart, but her stepmother threw her happy heart into the dust.

She broke out on this day and was deeply hurt.

The exquisite and elegant ladies in the small reception room were all stunned, no one dared to reach out to stop Quan Yuan's stepmother's crazy behavior.

It was Quanyuan's uncle who broke in, and then Quanyuan's father also came in.

It was a very chaotic New Year's Day.

On this day at the beginning of the new year, the stepmother showed Quanyuan the crazy and cruel side of the world.

Quanyuan couldn't remember how his uncle and father carefully took off his little coat and handed himself over to the doctor.

The screams of her stepmother echoed frantically in her mind.

"You killed my son!"

"Don't think I don't know, your mother just wants to curse my son to death so that you can live in him!"

"Who knows if you are the seed of the Chen family!"

"If it wasn't for Xinxin's bone marrow, you thought you would be able to enter the Chen family?! You really don't even match your blood type! Your mother probably doesn't even know whose child you are!"

"Little Wild Species!"

"Little Wild Species!"

"You little bastard!"

"Even if I die, you don't even want to marry into the Chen family!"

"Don't think about it! You mother and daughter don't think about it!"

These words are like curses, and they linger in Quanyuan's childhood nightmare from time to time.

She no longer wanted to go to her father's house.

She is so eager for a complete family and her father's love, and she is so sad that she is not her father's daughter.

The adults had no way to explain this misunderstanding to her.Perhaps no one thought that she would hear her stepmother yelling crazily while she was in a coma.

However...she still yearns for her father's love that much.

The young Quanyuan used to love his father that much.

However, she never wanted to step into her father's house again.

Even a small step.
