Quick travel: repaying a favor or taking revenge, the mission has the final say

To the south of the well is a small room, forming an L shape with the building.

The small room was divided into two rooms. One room was surrounded by a fence and housed two pigs. The other room was closer to the building and had a stove inside, which was grandma's kitchen.

There are doors in front and back of the kitchen. The front door leads to a red brick yard, and the back door leads to a patio.

She remembered that her mother always asked her grandmother to eat with her, but her grandmother refused and insisted on cooking alone in the small room. But most of the time, her grandmother would go to her second mother's house to help with cooking and housework, and then stay for dinner. When her father came back or relatives came, her grandmother would cook in this simple little kitchen.

The four-year-old didn’t understand, but the 40-year-old girl did.

Standing in the yard, I looked up at the sun high in the sky with my eyes narrowed, tears streaming down my face.

Maybe the sun is too bright.

She didn't have any big ambitions. In her previous life, apart from her mother's expectation that she would become successful, she was unable to meet the expectations of her mother. As long as she wanted to make friends with someone, she would be so sweet-mouthed that it would make them suffocate!

Many things and people forced her to make choices passively. Her mother's doting and her own lack of ambition made her mediocre. In the end, her love of traveling broadened her horizons, but she chose to lie low...

It’s June 1986!

As far as she could remember, her father hadn't come back for a long time since he beat her mother that afternoon.

Gu Tian stepped into the yard of Ermu's house. The yard was filled with cement, but there was a lot of chicken shit. After walking through the yard and crossing the half-stone and half-mud main road about two meters wide, and then walking south, there was the only river in the village. Many families who did not have wells would use the water from this river.

When she was a child, she had a fight with her playmates and rolled into the river. A piece of glass bottle scratched her hairline, leaving a scar between her forehead and her hair.

Gu Tian saw his grandmother washing clothes by the river. The wooden basin beside her was full of clothes, so he knew she was probably helping his second mother wash clothes.

Turning around, Gu Tian walked west along the main road.

Their vegetable garden is in the middle of the village and next to the river.

This vegetable patch is said to be the family's former ancestral land, with two graves in the middle.

The vegetable plot is two mu in size, but it is shared by three families.

Gu Tian’s family, Gu Biqing’s (Gu Tian’s second aunt) family, and my grandfather’s eldest sister’s family.

Walking into the vegetable garden, Gu Tian saw his mother watering the vegetables.

"Mom." Gu Tian hurried forward.

"Why is Tiantian here?" Jiang Lanying put the scoop into the bucket, wiped the water stains on her body skillfully, and hugged her daughter who ran towards her like a little cannonball.

After tidying up his daughter's messy hair, he picked her up and walked back.

Jiang Lanying walked along Xiaonongtang and then from Xiaozhudi back home.

After helping her daughter change her clothes and comb her hair, Jiang Lanying took out the warm porridge from the iron pot and placed it on the stove. She scooped some brown sugar with a spoon and mixed it into the porridge. She took out two small stools from the small room and sat down to feed her daughter who was also sitting there.

After feeding her a small bowl of porridge, he picked up the enamel basin on the shelf next to him, pulled down the towel on the rack beside the cupboard, scooped up the warm water in the small iron pot, and washed his daughter's face and hands.

The movements were neat and skillful, and it was obvious that he had been doing it all the time and was used to it.

"Mom, why doesn't Dad eat at home every time he comes back?"

Gu Tian remembered that every time his father came back, he would either eat at the second aunt's house or the old aunt's house, or he would ride his bicycle to the third aunt's house in the train team.

"Tiantian, be good. Daddy is very busy at work. Next time he comes back, we'll have dinner together."

"..." Looking at his mother who was still holding back from exploding because she hadn't jumped off the building, Gu Tian fell silent.

No matter what, my father will definitely not look back. He is already in love with a fashionable girl in the city.

Since he didn't get the money yesterday, my father will go directly to the brigade to find the brigade leader in a few days, advance my mother's work points, exchange them for money, put it in his pocket, and go to the city to find the girl without even going home.

About a week later, when my mother went to the brigade to collect her work points, she found out that her work points were gone.

She knew that her mother was still enduring it because of the older generation's thinking. They thought that they already had a child, so for the sake of the child, they had to endure it.

However, after her mother's outburst, even until the divorce, she did not ask Gu Tian to return to her in court. Instead, she directly asked my father for compensation for the loss of his youth and returned to her parents' home without looking back.

But this mother was like this again. When she remarried, she did not find a wealthy first-married man in Hai City, but a small worker from K City who had a very chaotic family and a daughter. The second-married man was from K City.

Just because it's close to my daughter.

At the instigation of his stepmother, his father asked Gu Tian, ​​who had only been admitted to a technical secondary school, to go directly to work. His mother persuaded his stepfather to take Gu Tian away and paid for him to continue his studies. After he finished technical secondary school, he even paid for him to go to junior college.

It was also this mother who kept telling Gu Tian about her grievances and unwillingness, telling him to strive for success! He must make a name for himself! He must make his father and the others look at him differently! He must...

But what the mother didn't know was that no matter how hard Gu Tian tried, he would never reach the height she hoped for because he didn't have a solid foundation.

Gu Tian, ​​who had just come to the city to attend primary school, got full marks in every subject under the instruction of the aunt's son next door.

It was not until Gu Tian was in the fourth grade that his father suddenly got married.

Later, when the child was born, Gu Tian started taking care of his younger sister after returning home from school.

Washing diapers, feeding and taking care of children are Gu Tian’s homework after school.

Little Gu Tian, ​​who had never taken care of a child before, was exhausted from taking care of the child at night. She had no extra energy to study during the day. As a result, her grades got worse and worse, and she fell further and further behind...

Gu Tian came back to his senses and asked cautiously, "Mom, we don't want Dad, okay?"

"Tiantian, why do you say that?" After washing the dishes, Jiang Lanying squatted down and looked at her daughter seriously.

"Dad is bad! He doesn't come home and even beats Mom. We don't like him, okay?"

Jiang Lanying hugged her daughter tightly and cried sadly.

She also wants a divorce!

Her mother-in-law is sinister, her second sister-in-law is vicious, her husband is not at home, the boy from her second sister-in-law's family is a robber, and her eldest aunt likes to gossip everywhere. She is exhausted.

Every time she went back to her parents' home, her brother, sister-in-law and elderly mother advised her that her child was so grown up and she should endure it even for the child's sake.

"Don't cry, mom, don't cry. We don't want dad anymore! We don't want grandma either!" Gu Tian's tears fell.

"Tiantian, tell mom, who taught you to say that?"

Her heart was broken when she heard her daughter crying, but she did not lose her mind. Her daughter was so young that she would not understand at all.

"Brother Qin said so."

Qin Jiandong is the son of the Qin family at the end of the village. He is 6 years older than Gu Tian, ​​and his parents divorced a while ago.

"What did Brother Qin say?"

Jiang Lanying slowly induced.
