Three Women in the Cage

Sure enough, not long after, several pretty girls in the class asked Tang Jiahui to play with them. They all liked her very much and thought she was like a porcelain doll. A group of pretty girls and all the boys rushed to play with her.

So gradually, all kinds of people surrounded her, and those people treated her like a princess. Xinxin always saw her smiling beautifully and sweetly, as if in her world, all she needed to do was be happy.

Gradually, Xinxin could no longer squeeze into her world, and she was surrounded by a circle of people and could no longer see Xinxin on the outside. Just like this, they were forcibly separated.

Later, they tacitly stopped communicating and became the most familiar strangers. How ridiculous! Some destined gaps cannot be crossed no matter what you do. Even if you accidentally break in, you will eventually be kicked out.

After all, they are not the same kind of people. Their friendship is destined not to last long. It is just a fleeting fate that makes fun of true love...

One day, the seats in the class were changed, and the deskmate was a girl with ordinary looks. Xinxin knew at first sight that they were of the same kind.

They are all equally quiet, equally unknown, equally simple, and equally unnoticed.

The girl's name is Li Jing. She is as quiet as her name, and a little delicate in her quietness. They have one thing in common, they both hope that someone will accept them in the quietness. However, quiet people are destined to be noticed and approached by only quiet people.

Just like this, I don’t know if it was fate or something else, but they became deskmates. In their shared suffering, they became each other’s support.

They feel at ease when they are together, because no one of them will serve as a foil to the other. They are symbiotic, absorbing the faint sunlight together.

After being with Li Jing, Xinxin no longer has to worry that she, standing next to her, will attract other people's attention all the time, drowning herself in the light of other people's gazes and turning herself into a clown.

Don't worry, when the two of you are halfway there, your good friend may be suddenly called away, leaving you alone, embarrassed and not knowing what to do next.

She no longer has to worry about these things because they are equal, unlike her and Tang Jiahui, who were unequal to each other from the very beginning.

Neither of them would be confessed to halfway, and neither of them would abandon the other halfway. This feeling was comfortable and at ease, and their relationship became more and more inseparable.

Maybe this is her world. The topics they discuss do not include boys, likes and love, smoking, drinking, or going to bars and singing karaoke.

All they have is the library, the projects, and so on.

The two of them were inseparable, moving around every corner of the school and becoming inseparable from each other.

They agreed to take the college entrance examination together, work hard together, and go to the same university together.

It was National Day holiday time, and the school required everyone to leave campus for this long vacation. This was the first time since the start of school that Xinxin faced the question of where to go.

The problem seemed to have returned to the past, and she felt distressed. Why did she have to face this problem again?

Seeing Xinxin's listless appearance, Li Jing asked in confusion, "What's wrong? You look unhappy? We finally have a long vacation and everyone can go home. Why are you unhappy?"

Li Jing asked her while packing. Xinxin was not on guard against her and sighed: "I don't want to go back. There is no one at home..."

Li Jing didn't think it was because of this, and thought it was a big deal, so she suggested: "Why don't you go to my house? It's just that my family is poor, so please don't despise me..."

Xinxin said gratefully, "What are you talking about? I'm also poor, how could I look down on you?"

She was struggling over whether to go or not. After all, she had been to a classmate's house before. She thought that even if her classmate didn't mind her going home, her family might not be happy about it, and she was afraid of that embarrassment.

But if I don't go, where else can I go? Stay at the train station? Stay in a hotel for the entire seven-day holiday?

Just as she was struggling and hesitant, her second sister Yaya called. When she answered the phone, Yaya said anxiously, "Come over during the holidays! My uncle is not feeling well and is in the hospital. Please come and visit him!"

After hearing this, Xinxin was a little shocked. How could her uncle suddenly fall ill? This reminded her of her eldest uncle, who also fell ill suddenly and never got out of bed again.

She didn't ask anything on the phone. After all, she and her uncle didn't have a deep relationship, and now she had nowhere to go, so she just went over to visit him.

After hanging up the phone, she said to Li Jing: "Unfortunately, my sister just asked me to go to my uncle's place, so I won't go to your house this time. I'll go next time if I have the chance."

The two separated at the school gate and walked in opposite directions. Xinxin quickly arrived at the train station. Fortunately, she had a ticket for that day, and soon she was on the train to her uncle's house.

This was her first time going to her uncle's house, and she felt a little nervous, but when she thought about her sister being there, she felt less nervous.

After a two-hour drive, they finally arrived at the station, but this time no one came to pick her up, so Yaya asked her to take the bus by herself.

When we finally got off the bus, Yaya was already waiting at the platform. Seeing Xinxin coming over, Yaya stepped forward, pulled Xinxin away, and said anxiously, "Come on, follow me to the hospital to deliver food. My aunt and the others are all waiting at the hospital."

On the way, Xinxin asked: "Why did you suddenly get sick? Weren't you in good health?"

Yaya hesitated before saying, "Hey, you don't know, my aunt is always finding fault with my grandparents. She complains that my grandmother doesn't cook properly and can't take good care of the kids, and that my grandfather doesn't do anything. They always quarrel over these trivial matters, and every time my uncle gets angry, he stays to himself. After a long time, he's bound to get depressed."

"Also, when I came here this time, my aunt had a huge temper. Originally, my uncle wanted me to stay at home, but then I saw that they were having such a big conflict, so I took the initiative to suggest that I live at school."

"You don't have to come back every day. You can eat and live at your uncle's house. Otherwise, I don't know what my aunt will do."

"They quarreled every other day. My uncle was very angry and overthinking things. It was really a mess. Suddenly, he got angry and fell ill!"

Yang Ming wanted to do everything well, but found that he did not do anything well. His long-standing guilt and depression finally made him unable to bear it and he collapsed.

Thinking that my eldest brother passed away at a young age, leaving behind several children, I couldn't help at all and could only watch my nephews suffer.

He knew that Tian Yun had found a strange man and that they were abusing the children, but he was a teacher, so what could he do?

He couldn't beat or scold his children like his elder sister did. He couldn't do it and didn't know how to do it. He had to consider his identity as a teacher. After all, he was different from his elder sister.

The original intention was to let the younger sister and the older sister come to work and help each other, but in the end, they did not earn any money, but instead the conflict between the two sisters escalated.

He knew that he had his own reasons, and everything made him feel a little overwhelmed.

There are also his parents, who are old and have to go through the pain of losing their children. Now they live with him, and are despised by his wife everywhere, but he has no way to do anything about it.

Seeing his once happy family now suffering, with each of his brothers and sisters struggling, and his parents also suffering, he felt deeply distressed. He had once thought that if he had graduated, he could lead them to a better life.

However, he didn't expect that in the end everyone's life was broken, which was completely different from what he had imagined. He felt helpless and unwilling.
