390 Second Aunt's Kindness
Ah Hua seemed to be frightened by Ah Gui's words.
She stood there, looking at her brother with tears in her face, her lips trembling and trying to say something, but she said nothing.
After a while, she said in a tone that calmly regained her calmness: "What do you know, you kid? Do I want to study or go to work? That's my business, what does it have to do with you?"
Agui and Liu Qingshan were both stunned.
No one expected that Ah Hua's attitude would change so quickly.
Ahua reached out and pushed Agui, pushed Agui heavily to the ground, looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "Do you think everyone is as stupid as you? Apart from picking bracken, you can only be a cattle, you are different from you, I study more than you, I will graduate from junior high school soon, even if I don't study at that time, I can still work in the factory with my junior high school diploma. What about you, can you?"
"Ahua, how can you say this?" Liu Qingshan pulled Agui up and looked at the strange Ahua and asked, "How can you say this?"
"Otherwise, what should I say? Do you want me to tell a big reason to a child who has not graduated from elementary school?" Ahua looked at Agui and said, "Tan Agui, look at what you are now. You look really useless now. You can't work and study harder and worse. People like you can do nothing well."
"Ahua, enough." Liu Qingshan couldn't stand it anymore. Why did this once sensible girl suddenly become like this? He looked at Ahua with an incredible look and said, "Agui is your younger brother, how can you say that to him?"
"I said that, he was still light." Ah Hua still looked indifferent. "People like him had a way out for studying hard, but you see, his grades have been regressing one after another. What future can he have in the future? I don't want to admit such a useless brother."
"Ahua!" Liu Qingshan couldn't help but slapped him and almost slapped Ahua in the face, but he still didn't slap him down in the end.
Ah Hua glared at the raised palm and sneered: "Look, he is a coward, and he will only hide behind others."
After saying that, she looked at Agui again and said coldly: "Tan Agui, if you don't want me to look down on you, if you don't want to be a coward, you should read your books and meddle in other people's business. Otherwise, from today on, you will never be my brother again, and I will never want to see you. Even if you fall ill and are hospitalized, I will never see you."
When she said these words, it was like a sharp knife pressing against her chest, plucking the flesh in her heart bit by bit.
How could she say such things? She didn't know it herself.
But she knew that the final result was either she dropped out of school or Agui dropped out of school.
Although Agui didn't say anything, she knew Agui too well. With Agui's intelligence, it was impossible for him to suddenly regress so quickly. If such a thing really happened, there was only one reason. Agui didn't want to study anymore. The reason why he didn't want to study was naturally obvious.
As a sister, she must not allow such things to happen. Therefore, even if she wants to say some cruel words, even if she wants to make her younger brother sad for a while, she must become a witch-like bad person.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ah Hua couldn't help it anymore, turned her head and ran away.
Agui stood there in a daze, and his whole body was dementia.
All this came too fast and too fierce, and he was not mentally prepared at all. However, all of this suddenly happened beyond defense.
"Agui." Liu Qingshan supported Agui and looked at the direction where Ahua left. He could no longer see Ahua's figure. "Go back first, go back first and talk to your mother about this, and then see what to do."
At the moment, it seems that this is the only way to do it.
When I returned home, Agui's mother had not yet returned home.
Agui sat blankly on the threshold of the main hall, staring at the distant blue sky.
He was wondering, how can we stop all this? It seemed that there was only one way.
After waiting for a while, it was almost dark before Agui's mother returned home.
On the phone, Liu Qingshan had already told Ah Gui's mother about Ah Hua. She thought Ah Gui's mother should have looked anxious, but when she walked into the yard, her expression was no different from usual.
Liu Qingshan thought it was impossible to explain clearly on the phone, so he hurriedly said again: "Aunt, Ah Hua does odd jobs in the supermarket in the town. Do you know? I asked the people in the supermarket and they said that Ah Hua will go to work in the evening and will not study at school at night."
"Oh, that's it." Agui's mother put down the farm tools and washed her hands in the basin. She said in a faint tone, "Ahua is almost sixteen years old. She is an adult. Let her do whatever she wants. Just don't break the law."
"What?" Liu Qingshan couldn't believe his ears. "Ah Hua is such a smart person. If she studied hard, she would definitely have a promising future."
"Yeah." Agui's mother squatted on the edge of the basin, soaking her hands in the water. Looking at the waving waves, she said after a while, "Qingshan, I understand what you said, but Ahua has her own ideas, and I can't force her. She told me these things before, and I didn't agree with them. I also wanted her to study hard, but she insisted on doing this, and said that if I don't agree to her, she would leave the place and work far and far away. Qingshan, Ahua is a person, not a dog, and I have no way to control her."
"Mom, you knew it a long time ago?" Agui looked at his mother in shock, and tears kept pouring up, "Why, why don't you stop her?"
Is this the same mother as before?
My mother said before that no matter how difficult it is, the siblings and sisters will not drop out of school. Now, how has my mother become like this?
Agui's mother looked at Agui who was crying and felt quite guilty, but she still said firmly: "Agui, your sister is already an adult. She will take charge of her own affairs. You just need to take care of yourself. Moreover, your sister also said that if your grades go back like this, she will leave our place so that we will never see her again. Agui, study hard in the future, okay? Your sister does this all to make you study hard, and don't waste her kindness."
"Good intention?" Agui didn't want such kind intention.
He cried, "Mom, I don't want such kindness. I just want my sister to study hard."
"Agui." Mom looked at Agui with her eyes firmly and said, "Do you want to lose your sister?"
A sentence made Agui at a loss.
When I met my sister in the town in the afternoon, she said so firmly that she didn't seem to be talking casually.
If he couldn't study hard, his sister might really leave them.
She made a lot of determination.
Liu Qingshan was completely confused.
He didn't understand at all, what is the difference between these two children studying and one child studying?
Although Ahua needs some money after going to high school, it is not much. With the job he now provides Agui's mother, he can easily raise two children.
But why is this family so messy?
He asked with a confused look: "Auntie, you are digging stones and spending a few hundred yuan a day. It is not a problem to use this money to support your two children to go to school. Moreover, Agui is only in elementary school now, and he will not have to pay for school in the next few years, and he doesn't even have to pay for food. In this way, Ahua needs some money to go to high school. This should not be difficult for you now."
Agui's mother smiled bitterly, trying to explain the truth, but when she saw her son looking at her, she said, "It's not difficult, but since Ahua doesn't want to study, I can't do anything. Now Ahua is the most difficult age to discipline. I'm afraid that she can force her to get angry and she can do anything, so let her go."
"How can you go with her? Ah Hua is not sixteen years old yet. Other children are studying in school at this age. How can you let her go to work?"
"Qingshan, didn't you go to work after graduating from junior high school?" Agui's mother retorted, "Since you can, of course Ahua can do it too."
"I am a man." Liu Qingshan said incomprehensiblely, "And it is precisely because I have suffered outside that I know how terrible it is to be uneducated. For poor people like us, studying is really the best choice. If you let Ah Hua drop out of school and work now, it is completely harming her."
"It wasn't me who asked Ah Hua to drop out of school and work." Ah Gui's mother finally couldn't hold back, and tears burst into tears, crying bitterly, "Do you think I forced her to drop out of school and work? If possible, I want her to finish the study happily like other children, but she gave up herself. What can I do? Do you want me to tie her to school with a hemp rope? Qingshan, you don't understand, you don't understand our family affairs, so don't say it."
"Aunt." Liu Qingshan was very frightened and felt very guilty when he saw his always strong aunt crying like a child.
Maybe he was too long-winded and said too much, and forced his aunt to get angry, so she finally couldn't suppress her inner sorrow and started to cry.
Liu Qingshan couldn't bear to see others crying, so he was a little embarrassed for a while and didn't know what to say.
Agui walked to his mother's side, wiped his mother's tears with his hands, and cried: "Mom, stop crying. From now on, I will study hard in the future. I will study hard. Don't cry."
"Agui." Agui's mother hugged her son and cried even harder.
Seeing the mother and son embracing in the dark twilight, Liu Qingshan really felt that he was redundant.
Every family has a difficult sutra, but they completely ignore other people's difficulties and force their will on others.
Now looking at the crying mother and son, thinking about it carefully, I really feel like a bitch.
It is really a bastard to judge other people's lives without experiencing other people's difficulties and pains.
Perhaps, what he should do now is to leave silently.
He left the yard and looked at the dim sky, feeling mixed in his heart.
Everyone is under the same blue sky, but why are some people living a life that is extremely decay, while others are still suffering for food and clothing?
There is no need to believe the bullshit words such as God will give great responsibility to this man. After all, it is just God’s unfairness.
After returning home with this heavy mood, Liu Qingshan told his parents about Ah Hua's preparation to drop out of school.
Wu Cuimei felt nothing: "What's the matter? There are so many children who drop out of school after graduating from junior high school. How many can you take care of? You and your third uncle's eldest cousin all dropped out of school after graduating from junior high school. And, look, you are all fine now. I think that since Ah Hua doesn't want to study, then no matter how hard she is, you don't need to force her to not drink water, you can't force the bull to press the bull's head."
"Yes, Agui's mother doesn't worry, what are you worried about?" Liu Yuanhe said, "You are still worried about tomorrow's affairs."
"What's going on tomorrow?" Liu Qingshan asked in confusion, "What's going on tomorrow?"
"Today your uncle called, your cousin also built a house in his hometown. Tomorrow, we have to go all out."
"Then go, go, what's there to worry about?" Liu Qingshan said inexplicably.
However, there was a little uneasiness in a vague way.
Wu Cuimei handed the old man a color and took a shower with hot water.
Liu Yuanhe showed a smug smile on his face and looked at his son and explained: "Your second aunt said that a girl from her mother's family will come tomorrow. She agreed with the girl that you two will meet by the way tomorrow to see if it will happen."
"Mom!" Liu Qingshan shouted to the bathroom door, "Haven't I said a long time ago not to mess with these things?"
Wu Cuimei pretended not to hear it, humming a small song and taking a shower, which was so comfortable.
Liu Yuanhe laughed and said, "Qingshan, look, your second aunt has kindness, you can't let her waste it. Besides, it's just meeting you, and you don't want you to marry someone back immediately. What's the matter? Will you lose a piece of meat when you meet? If you don't like it, you can just explain it to your second aunt. What's the matter?"
It's so fuckingly light, it's not you who want to go on a blind date in love.
Liu Qingshan was so angry that he didn't even eat much dinner, so he ate three bowls of rice, two bowls of oil tea, half a dish of braised pork, two chicken legs, and three wild fish that were two fingers the size of wild fish.
"Qingshan, get up early tomorrow, let's set off early, and arrive at your uncle's house early, and can you help me." Seeing that his son went back to the room with a dark face, Wu Cuimei quickly gave some advice.
Although Liu Qingshan was unhappy, things had already developed to this point and he could not escape.
Since you can't escape, you can only face it if you want.
The next morning, the family of three cleaned up and drove out in a pickup truck.
As soon as the car left the yard and came to the Cement Village Road, he met Agui.
Agui was cutting a bush of drunk fish grass next to the village road.
