Three Women in the Cage

She was afraid that the same result would happen again, and she felt uneasy...

"Hello, Mom?"

Yaya's clear voice came from the phone.

Hearing the call connected, Yang Yu quickly picked up the phone and carefully asked, "What are you doing? Have you eaten?"

Yaya said happily: "I have eaten. Have you eaten? How is it at home?"

When Yang Yu thought of the grievances she suffered at home, she choked up and said, "I ate it. It was fine at home, but I was mad at your eldest sister one day..."

Listening to her mother's sobbing, Yaya worriedly asked, "What's wrong? Why is she so angry with you? Why is she so angry?"

Yang Yu suddenly sobbed, "Your elder sister has gone out to work now. I asked her to find a man and go back to teach those who bullied us in the village a lesson. But your elder sister is unwilling to do so. She doesn't want to do it. She wants to live her own life and doesn't want to get involved in what happened before."

"I raised you all this time, and now I just hope you can vent my anger for me, but your elder sister wants me to give up and let me suffer all those grievances in vain. She is a heartless person and cannot be relied on at all..."

"I'm so angry my heart aches. I won't accept this! Yaya, I asked you to write down all the grievances you suffered before, and I told you that one day, you would definitely take revenge. You saw it too, so I can't let what I said become a joke!"

"I don't ask you to do anything. I just want you to quietly drag them to a place and return all the bullying they have done to us. That will relieve the hatred in my heart. Otherwise, I will be haunted by the devil day and night, and I will be suffocated to death. I won't accept this..."

Yang Yu's resentment was engraved in her bones and blood. She was deeply trapped in it. If she couldn't get rid of this anger, she would never be able to let it go.

Yaya remembered the notebook she had written in the past, which recorded the time, place, reason, and who beat her mother.

Page after page, a thick stack was filled up. At that time, my mother was sitting in front of the stove, making a fire, and she instructed with red eyes: "I will read and you remember. Write it down one by one for me. Later, you three sisters, each of you will get a few pages and go to get it back one by one according to what was written. We can't let them beat you up in vain. I said that one day, they will have to pay back, otherwise they will die with regrets. The same goes for you. If you don't do those things, you will never be able to live in peace..."

At that time, Yang Yu could not retaliate forcefully. Filled with resentment and unwillingness, he asked Yaya to remember every detail and not forget it.

It seemed that only by doing that could she calm down her anger a little, because she knew that sooner or later, she would get it back.

If she knew that one day, she would still not be able to get back what she had suffered, and that all that humiliation would become a few insignificant lines on a notebook, I wonder if she would be furious?

At that time, the reason she didn't do that was because she placed all her hopes on her children. She thought that no matter how many years passed, they would not forget. Even if they forgot, there were lines of words in the book to remind them.

But she didn't know that with time, the scars would heal, the pain would fade, and the empathy she once had would never return.

Time has diluted their hatred and their vindictiveness. I wonder if they have let it go, or if they have chosen to deceive themselves?

But no matter what, you are not the victim, you cannot forgive or let go on behalf of the victim...

Yaya remembered that she was crying while taking notes. The tears fell drop by drop on the notebook, wetting the handwriting again and again. Each word spoke of endless humiliation and pain. At that time, she secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would make them pay in full...

Thinking about it now, the pain I once felt is still vivid in my mind, but why do I now have the thought of not wanting to look back?

Since when did people become unwilling to look back at the unbearable past, and just want to close their eyes and move forward as if forgetting the past?

Yaya didn't want to make her mother sad, nor did she want to express her inner feelings. She remained silent and did not respond. After a long time, she slowly said: "Mom, I haven't graduated yet. Can you wait until I graduate before talking to me..."

After hearing this, Yang Yu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom, and her whole body felt cold and weak. She stood there in a daze, unable to come back to her senses for a long time. She didn't know when the phone was hung up, nor when her clothes were wet with tears.

She sat on the edge of the bed, not knowing whether it was day or night. It seemed as if the sky had collapsed on her and the beliefs she had once held seemed to be destroyed.

After all, all of this is just my own obsession, which I imposed on them. They want to break away from the past and move forward, but I am still staying where I am and cannot keep up with their pace.

At this moment, she didn't know whether she had been right or wrong in insisting that they learn knowledge and have a bright future.

It seems that I have become a person who is stubbornly opinionated, while they have become people with advanced ideas. I am the one who pushes them further and further away from me, and in the end, I am the only one still living in the quagmire.

Finally, she called Xinxin. After the call was connected, she repeated what she had said to Yaya, but this time she added: "My eldest and second sisters are unwilling to help me. Third sister, are you willing to help me?"

Xinxin was at a loss for a moment when she heard her mother's pleading words. She knew her mother's pain, but she didn't want her sisters to reject her. She suddenly didn't know how to answer.

She had thought countless times about using a knife to take devastating revenge, but in the end she failed because she simply didn't have the courage.

She had fantasized countless times that she could possess infinite power and take revenge without restraint like the protagonist in the novel. However, she couldn't do it. In reality, her power was too small. She was just an ordinary person and could not carry out those seemingly satisfying revenges.

It’s too difficult…

Life is not as easy as we imagine. Especially the more we learn and the more people we meet, the more we realize that we are really ordinary. It is not as easy as we imagine. After all, fantasy is just fantasy.

In a single thought, you cannot become a Buddha, and you cannot obtain salvation like redemption. In a single thought, you cannot become a demon, and you cannot take revenge to your heart's content.

She felt powerless and could only comfort her mother, saying, "Let's talk about it after my second sister and I graduate!"

Yang Yu smiled bitterly. In the end, all her hopes were shattered. They refused to lie to her even for a moment!

Their hearts are no longer with me, they are moving away from me.

Yang Yu thought of his parents again. They had spent their whole lives worrying about their children, but in the end, they still ended up alone and helpless.

So what's the point of looking forward to having children? Whether they are successful or not, what can they do to their parents? It still can't change anything.

The paths they take are always different, and the lives they live will never go back. They will only choose to forget, keep moving forward, and never look back.

The children moved forward, but the parents stayed where they were, unable to reach the same destination as them.
