She stopped talking, just kept wiping her tears with her hands. I didn't know what to say. I wanted to say a few words of comfort, but such sadness could be smoothed away by a few words of comfort. The room was silent for a while.

.

After a long time, her mood slowly calmed down. She wiped her face with her sleeve, raised her head and said with a hard smile, "I'm sorry for making Mr. Wei laugh!"

I smiled bitterly and shook my head, not knowing what to say.

She added: "I wonder why Mr. Wei came to my house today?"

"I..." I hesitated, because I really couldn't express my purpose at this time.

My appearance made her a little confused, and she seemed to realize something instantly.

"So you're here to persuade me to move too!" She turned her head silently and looked at me, her tone sad.

I was stunned for a moment, but I didn’t expect that after my slight hesitation, she immediately guessed my purpose. I knew that it must be her experience during this period that made her extremely sensitive to all the people who came to visit, and my heart

There was a dull pain.

"No, Sister Shi, I just came to understand the situation. I didn't know beforehand that it was you who didn't want to move out!"

I was so busy explaining that I actually overlooked the difference between the meaning of my words and the previous ones.

"It doesn't matter! In fact, I knew from the first day of the demolition that I couldn't keep this house. I just hate it a little, why some people can live as they please and regard the lives of the poor as grass, but they don't get anything.

Punishment. We just want to live the simplest and most ordinary life. We just want our son to be able to study and have some knowledge so that he will not be bullied like us in the future. But we can’t get even these. Mr. Wei, tell me, what we want

Is it much?"

She looked at me with tearful eyes, and her tone revealed a hint of fatigue after giving up.

I didn't dare to look into her eyes, her gaze was like a sharp sword that penetrated into the depths of my soul.

I said loudly in my heart: You don’t want much, you don’t want much at all, it’s not your fault, it’s the world that is sorry for you! But I didn’t even say a word.

They are right, it is the world that is wrong, but who can take responsibility for them, and who can seek justice from the world?

"You don't have to be embarrassed, you are a good person, I will move out as soon as possible!" Her head dropped slightly, and I could feel how weak she felt inside at this moment.

"Then what are your plans for the future?" I asked her

"What other plans could there be? I came here just so that Shitou could have a book to read. I thought that no matter how hard and tired we were, it wouldn't matter as long as we could send Shitou to college, but now it seems there is no way to do that. His dad

I'm dead, and now I don't even have a home. The so-called city is a place that eats people. I can no longer support myself. I have no choice but to go back to my hometown... Is this life? No matter how hard I struggle, I will eventually come back.

place."

She said leisurely.

When I left, she sent me downstairs. After walking far away, I looked back and saw that she was still standing there. The ruins around her made her thin figure look small and desolate.

I didn't expect the outcome of this visit. Although Shitou's mother promised to move out as soon as possible, I unexpectedly completed the task assigned to me by Mu Xichun, and I did not receive the treatment that the previous few people received.

But I didn't feel happy at all. I would rather be scolded or splashed with dirty water than know about this naked human tragedy.

Some stories we always think are far away from ourselves, and we just treat them as stories when told by others. When the story suddenly breaks the shackles of telling one day and really appears in front of our eyes, we realize that this is the truth of life. It is far away. Smarter than we thought.

Walking in the ruins, I felt that my legs seemed a little erratic, and the scenery around me became unreal, just like a dream, a sad dream.

When I walked past the old transformer, I felt a chill on my face. I looked up at the sky and saw that the rain that had been brewing for many days finally fell. Thin raindrops fell from the sky in dense and slanted directions, blurring everything around me.

The world at this moment is quiet, as if it is receiving the baptism of the gods devoutly, and it seems that it is making the most sincere confession to the innocent...

I thought about what Mother Shitou said, and every word was like a gaping knife, slowly cutting across my heart, and my heart began to hurt.

She said she would not embarrass me, she said I was a good person; did she want me to tell her that she wanted more? She said she just hoped that Shitou could read and would not be bullied like her in the future...

I suddenly thought of my mother again. Many years ago, she said to me at the county station, under the yellow street lights, in the crowded flow of people: "Gou baby, you must study hard and become a promising person in the future." Only those who are good will not be bullied!"

At this moment, the mother's face and Stone's mother's face overlapped again in my mind, and I finally understood that in fact, all mothers are the same, they just want their children not to be bullied.

That was when I was in high school. Since the end of the semester was approaching and the school had to make up classes, the two-day vacation that was only available once a month was also cancelled.

Since the living expenses had been exhausted, I had to call my mother and ask her to send me living expenses. My mother was always very concerned about my studies and said she would send them to me the next morning, but I waited the next day. I haven't seen my mother's shadow for a day.

When school was over in the afternoon, the head teacher came to me and said, "Your mother is at the Urban Management Bureau, go and have a look!"

I was surprised and asked quickly: "Teacher, why is my mother in the Urban Management Bureau? What happened to her?"

The teacher looked at me for two seconds, and his expression made me confused. He answered the question and said, "You will know when you go there. Go quickly. Come back early for self-study if you have nothing to do. I will tell the English teacher."

The teacher's appearance made me feel vaguely uneasy, so I rushed directly to the Urban Management Bureau without eating. When I arrived at the Urban Management Bureau, it was already dark, and it was time to get off work?

I saw the staff coming out of the Urban Management Bureau talking and laughing. Each of them was holding a plastic bag with a bag of eggs in it.

I asked the uncle at the gate that I was Li Zhen's son and came to see my mother. The uncle pointed inside and said, "Your mother is in the duty room inside. You can go by yourself."

So I followed the direction he pointed and ran inside again. The uneasiness in my heart became more and more intense, and I secretly said in my heart: Mom, please don't let anything happen to you.

My premonition was quickly confirmed. The moment I saw my mother, my body froze. My mother was sitting on a chair inside, her head lowered and her hands tightly clasped together.

As I slowly approached, I saw a vague slap mark on her face. Although the slap mark had faded slightly, I was still sure that it must be a slap mark.

In addition, my mother's sleeve also had a big hole in it, and a few strands of her hair, which was always neat and tidy, were scattered, as if someone had torn them apart.

My heart felt like being pricked by a needle, and a heartbreaking pain spread from my heart. I rushed to my mother and squatted next to her legs. Only then did I realize that there were still two strings of tears hanging on her face. I asked eagerly

Mother: "Mom, what's wrong with you?"

When my mother saw me coming, she shed tears again. She touched my head and before I could say anything, the man sitting behind the desk spoke first: "What's wrong?" He asked, "Your mother is banning stalls."

The place sells them at will, and we confiscate them in accordance with the law. Your mother actually interfered with law enforcement and pestered our law enforcement officers in the street. What do you think is wrong?"

His tone was arrogant, as if they were the ones who were wronged. A fire arose in my heart.

My mother wiped her tears and said, "I brought a basket of eggs to the county town. I thought it would be more expensive in the city so I could buy more money for you to use for living expenses. As soon as I put the eggs down at the market, they came up to snatch them from me.

egg……"

My mother was still talking, but I couldn't hear her anymore, and the fire in my heart burst out.

I don't need my mother to tell me what happened. How could the living expenses she prepared for her son be taken away by others? She begged them to return the eggs to her.

They refused, and then an argument broke out. Mother was so anxious that she grabbed someone's clothes, and there was no need to talk about what happened next.

I stood up and walked over to the man and grabbed his collar. If I could see my eyes, they must be blood red.

I stared at him with my blood-red eyes and said, "How could you do such a thing to a woman? Do you still have any conscience?" I was already about 1.7 meters tall at the time. Although I was a little thin, I was obviously shocked by this.

The man's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly calmed down.

"What are you going to do, little bastard, do you know where this place is?" He yelled loudly. I knew he was a little guilty and yelled just to ask for help. I ignored him and still grabbed his collar and shook it vigorously.

, I almost lost my mind.

Sure enough, his shouts attracted two people. After seeing the formation, they probably understood what was going on, and they came up to fight me off without saying a word.

The man whose collar I grabbed suddenly became more aggressive when he saw help coming, and he came up and kicked me in the abdomen.

I was kicked to the ground by him, and my lower abdomen twitched. I was so angry that I tried to get up after holding back the pain. I was kicked on the back again, followed by bursts of pain in my thighs, chest, arms, and all over my body.

It hurts and I can no longer stand up from the ground.

In fact, it only happened in a few seconds. My mother finally reacted. She threw herself on me to protect my body, so the three men kicked her together.

My mother said with a tearful tone: "Don't fight, I beg you, please don't fight!" Her tone was pleading, which made my angry mood become a little sad.

After a few more kicks, they stopped. The man I grabbed by the collar said, "You little brat, you have turned against you. How dare you run wild here?"

"Get out of here!" another man said.

"Just like I am, I will be like my kid. The whole family is unreasonable!" said a third person.

I helped my mother up, and she held my arm for fear that I would do something overestimating my abilities again. Looking at her tearful eyes, I endured it again and again and finally gave up.

I supported my mother and walked out the door. When I passed the desk at the door, I saw a bag of eggs on the table, and I suddenly felt hatred in my heart.

Why has the world become like this? Why do poor people do everything wrong?

When I walked out of the urban management bureau, the tears that I had been holding back in my eyes still flowed out. I looked at the palm prints on my mother’s face that had not faded away, and finally said what I had been holding in my heart: "Mom, I won’t go to school! I’ll tell you

Let’s go home together! From now on, my son will take care of you and no one will bully you again!”

My voice was trembling, she was working too hard, and I really couldn't let her work like this any longer.

My mother was walking with her head lowered while I was supporting her. As soon as I spoke my words, her thin body trembled violently. I could clearly feel the trembling of her body with my arm holding her shoulders.

She turned around and slapped me in the face: "Why did I do all this? Why did you tell me?"

My mother's tone became stern, and she looked at me with a disappointed and sad look.

I expected my mother to disagree, but I didn't expect her attitude to be so intense. I knew my words made her sad.

"Mom, I was wrong, don't be angry, I will never say such things again! I go to school, and I will go to school well!" I was a little scared, I was afraid to see my mother even a little bit sad, every time she was sad

It all makes my heart feel like a knife.
