I Became Popular in the Underworld After Live Broadcasting Taoism - Chapter 102
Maybe it was because she knew what she had done and couldn’t hide it anymore, or maybe it was because these things had been accumulated in her heart for too long. After being exposed by Gu Zhisang, the old lady’s hands holding on to the door frame were trembling, and her face showed A twisted smile of pleasure in resentment.
“You think your mother is pitiful, but these are the retributions of her father and mother!”
With a trembling voice, she told the truth about changing the child that everyone cares about the most.
The old lady’s surname is Xia.
Decades later, he used to be a big businessman and wealthy household.
“Our ancestors were dry salt merchants. They contributed funds and efforts during the war, so they can be regarded as Aisha merchants. Although they have declined a little later, they still have accumulated wealth and fame in the local area.”
The old lady Xia opened her mouth slowly, with some remembrance in her slightly cloudy eyes:
“When I was in my generation, because some relatives in my family went abroad to seek refuge during the war, I wrote a lot of developments in the outside world during the usual correspondence, which made me yearn for it very much.
So when I was 14 years old, I went abroad to join my relatives. When I was studying abroad, I met my husband. “
“My husband’s mother was a group of Xia people who went abroad to seek refuge during the war. She married a local foreigner and gave birth to him.”
According to Mrs. Xia, half of her husband is of foreign blood.
Therefore, the facial features are more profound than those of the traditional Xia people. They are tall and handsome, and treat her very well. They are simply perfect lovers.
The period of falling in love abroad was the most unforgettable and fondest memory in her life.
Later, her father was critically ill and urgently called her back to China.
Coupled with her family’s firm disapproval of her staying abroad, the young girl fell into pain and entanglement with her father who had raised her for more than ten years and her beloved lover on the other.
It just so happened that it was in the early 1960s, and there was a large-scale wave of exclusion of Xia Qiao compatriots in the country where her lover lived. She and her lover, who had the characteristics of the Xia country, were also excluded in school.
After thinking about it for a while, her husband bid farewell to his mother and returned to Xia Kingdom with her.
The young girl was excited and excited. On the way back to her hometown, she kept thinking about the beautiful life after marriage.
But it never occurred to her that the reality did not match what she had imagined.
After returning to Xia Guo, the two were arranged to continue their studies at the local university. It was in this school that they met their “helpless” grandmother and grandfather who were also students at the school.
When she said this, the old lady Xia’s eyes once again showed deep hatred.
She rolled her eyes wearing presbyopic glasses, fixed on the body of ‘the helplessness in the world’, gritted her teeth and said:
“If I had known that those two beasts were so shameless, I should have spit on their faces the first time I saw them!”
In her narrative, four like-minded young people of the same age have become good friends.
When they got married to each other, although they didn’t dare to make it public, on the surface it was still in accordance with the traditional wedding ceremony of the Xia Kingdom, but in fact they both knew in their hearts that they were each other’s bridesmaid and best man.
After marriage, she and her husband had a happy life for a period of time, which was very short, only about two years.
She works as a clerk in the street unit, and her husband works as a reporter for a local news newspaper.
Because of his professional nature, the husband is often able to see the dark injustice hidden in the society, backwardness and ignorance.
These are very different from the education he received and the things he was exposed to when he grew up abroad.
Especially at that time, some people were raised up to form Chi Xiaobing.
Many intellectuals who have studied abroad have been reported because of improper collection of books at home or extravagant and petty bourgeois behavior.
And because there were many fish in troubled waters at that time, who were actually haters of the rich, or simply bad-hearted people who fanned the flames, and some intellectuals who were not at fault, highly educated, knowledgeable and ideal, were pulled down from the altar overnight.
Books, calligraphy and paintings at home were destroyed, furniture and antiques were smashed, critical words written in red ink were hung around their necks, and they were pushed in front of the street people to accept criticism and abuse.
The husband, who is a newspaper reporter, saw the tragic situation of these people, and he couldn’t accept it, and he felt very resentful.
But at that time, their family was also the focus of attention, and they didn’t dare to show it in front of outsiders. It was only occasionally that when they had dinner with their “helpless” grandma and grandpa, the husband would complain after drinking some wine.
Who would have thought that friends who have known each other for many years in this way would betray them.
The ‘helpless in the world’ grandfather’s family had been in the military for generations, so he also has a good future, working in a local agency, because he offended some people because of his youthfulness.
The other party wanted to bring him down, and the parents behind him, so they made a fuss about his behavior.
At this time, the grandfather who was “helpless in the world” made a decision in order to wash himself away and free the family from disputes:
He reported on Mrs. Xia’s husband.
He wrote all the complaints and dissatisfaction that the other party sent at the wine table in the report letter, and said that he was determined to draw a line with this kind of bad-minded person.
This move instantly pushed a young couple into a pan of oil.
With the report letter from the grandfather of “the world is helpless”, Chi Xiaobing broke into the home of the young couple and found a large number of foreign books, as well as some grievances and poems written by the husband who is a newspaper reporter.
With these books, and the fact that Mrs. Xia’s husband was a foreigner with a special status, he was directly judged as a bad element.
The old lady’s family background is also more sensitive. She is a big businessman and has studied abroad, which is also more dangerous.
But then she still had a chance to escape.
As long as she reports her husband like the ‘helpless’ grandfather.
At that time, the old lady’s parents and relatives, as well as the neighbors in the neighborhood who watched her grow up when she was a child, all came to persuade her, saying that everyone did this, and the children and parents reported each other.
Even her husband said with a wry smile:
‘You just report me, so that you can protect yourself, how can you, a woman, endure those tortures. I don’t resent you, I just hate that I don’t know people clearly, and made friends with tigers and wolves! ‘
In the end, Mrs. Xia did not make the decision to report, and she wanted to share difficulties with her husband.
But what brought with it was that her identity was also judged to be of bad composition.
When the couple were in their twenties, they were both sent to the countryside to undergo transformation and live in a cowshed.
In the countryside, Mrs. Xia and his wife had a very difficult life.
The people in the village don’t know what crime you came here for, and they don’t know if you have been wronged. They only know that those who are sent to the cowshed for reform are bad people and should be cast aside.
Mrs. Xia and her husband are here, eating the worst food and doing the heaviest farm work.
Every week, they were dragged to an empty wheat field in the village to undergo ideological remolding, even mixed with force.
Countless rotten eggs, rotten vegetable leaves, and even stones fell on him.
In the beginning, Mrs. Xia still felt humiliated, but after a long time and many times, she and her husband became numb.
The eldest lady who was pampered in the past, after only one year of transformation in the bullpen, her hands and face became rough, and her knee joints also suffered from various injuries.
They need to constantly reflect on their mistakes. If they are beaten, scolded or bullied, they must never fight back, let alone fight back.
Here they are the people with the lowest status and the least dignity. Even when the little gangsters in the village who are despised by others are in a bad mood, they can come to the place where they live and beat them up.
There was even one time when Mrs. Xia was almost insulted.
Had it not been for her husband’s desperate protection of her, she might have met with misfortune.
Even so, this incident has still become an eternal shadow in her heart.
For this reason, my husband fought with gangsters, and his ankle bone was broken. After hasty treatment, he will be crippled for life, and it hurts when he walks.
The most unacceptable and frightening thing for the old lady in Xia Xia is:
After years of reform and labor, she even had some thoughts in her mind—if she had reported her husband back then, would she not have to suffer these crimes now?
When she realized that she had these thoughts, she felt very broken, and even felt ashamed and unable to face her husband.
At the same time, she was deeply tormented by the guilt towards her husband.
From Madam Xia’s point of view, if she hadn’t brought her husband back to Xia Country, he would still be free abroad now…
Under all kinds of pressure, resentment, and pain, Mrs. Xia’s state of mind changed a lot.
She was no longer the gentle little girl who only pursued romance, and was depressed and collapsed every day.
Among all the hardships she has experienced, what she hates the most is not the villagers who beat and scolded her, Chi Xiaobing, nor the villain who almost bullied her, but her grandparents who are “helpless in the world”.
In the view of Mrs. Xia, all the tragedies of their husband and wife were caused by the report of the “helpless” grandfather.
It was the “helpless” grandfather and grandmother, not them, who should have accepted all the pain and were sent to the bullpen to be criticized.
Mrs. Xia and her husband have stayed in the countryside for nearly seven years.
By the mid-to-early 1970s, more and more intellectuals who had been sent down had been rehabilitated and returned to their hometowns, and their names were corrected.
The old lady Xia and his wife, who had finished their youth, finally got the definite news in 1974 that they were able to rehabilitate and return to the city.
This news is indeed a great thing for the couple, and it is also their wish and expectation for so many years.
But it was too late for Mrs. Xia’s husband.
After so many years of hard work and criticism, he has already lost too much and collapsed.
A limp ankle, a broken finger, half of one ear was chipped off when a sharp piece of glass hit it…
Even the big and small joints all over the body are painful when it comes to winter or rainy days.
At that time, Mrs. Xia’s husband was sick and very weak, and he was ready to die in the countryside.
When he learned that he was able to return to the city normally, he was very sad.
One night, a sickly man took his wife’s already rough hand and stroked his wife’s face:
‘Xiao Xia, I… can’t last until then, so let’s just revoke the divorce certificate in the countryside, and you can go back to the city with ease. ‘
‘You are still young in your 30s, and your family is rich. If you cultivate yourself well, you can meet another good man and live a stable life. I don’t want to drag you down. ‘
The old lady Xia cried so hard that she didn’t want to.
But life and health cannot be changed by people’s wishes.
She could feel her husband’s vitality passing by every day.
Looking at her husband’s graying sideburns and thin face, Mrs. Xia made a decision:
She does not divorce.
She wanted a child that belonged to herself and her husband, and lived like this for the rest of her life.
One year later, the formalities for the return trip were completed.
But the only ones who set foot on the way back to the city were old Mrs. Xia, who was more than five months pregnant, and the urn she was holding in her arms.
This frightened the family members who came to meet the wind.
At the same time, it also made the elder brother and sister-in-law at home not very happy.
Because before Mrs. Xia returned to the city, her elder brother and sister-in-law sent her many telegrams, repeatedly emphasizing that she should divorce her husband, and that after returning to the city, she would introduce her to a second-married colleague with a good character. Can take care of each other.
Originally, my brother and sister-in-law thought that Mrs. Xia would definitely do the same, and they had already recruited suitable candidates near their home. They made an appointment when Mrs. Xia returned, and made an appointment for the two parties to meet.
Who would have thought that the girl is back, but she has a big belly and is holding an urn, and she can’t hide it even if she wants to, even in such a big month.
Now the family that my sister-in-law had agreed to get angry, thinking that the Xia family was walking them on purpose.
Because of Mrs. Xia’s experience, and her dead husband, the gossips in the neighborhood began to gossip;
It is said that Mrs. Xia’s husband is dead, and the child is still unknown.
The gossip spread more and more intensely, reaching the ears of elder brother and sister-in-law, which made them even more unhappy, feeling that the younger sister had humiliated the family.
Mrs. Xia has been away from home for so many years, and the family property has long been passed on to her brother, and the two old people can only help her a little in life.
Even so, when Mrs. Xia was about to give birth, her sister-in-law found her a very good hospital in the city to deliver the baby.
It was in this hospital that the old lady once again met her enemy who had been away for nearly 10 years.
The “helpless” grandmother is pregnant with a second child and is about to give birth, in the same hospital.
Unlike their family, the grandfather who was “helpless in the world” survived the turmoil smoothly, and with the help of his family, his life was getting better and better, and he was rich and powerful.
The eldest son of the two is already six years old and is about to start elementary school.
Seeing Mrs. Xia, the ‘helpless in the world’ grandmother also recognized her.
Originally, the other party’s due date was still a few days away, and she had to wait in the hospital for delivery.
After recognizing her old friend, she was nervous and ashamed for a while, and she also suffered from premature seizures and gave birth prematurely.
The front and rear feet of the two pregnant women were pushed into the delivery room, and the birth time of the children was only half an hour apart.
In the mid-1970s, it was not popular to set up obstetrics and gynecology departments in hospitals, and even if there were, the equipment was not complete enough.
Although the hospital where Mrs. Xia and her ‘helpless’ grandmother are located is the largest hospital in the area, the obstetrics and gynecology department here is only a flat area.
There are only 20 beds inside, and each ward has two to three beds. The tools are only wooden barrels, kettles, porcelain washbasins and other simple equipment.
After Mrs. Xia gave birth, the nurses in the hospital used warm water to treat the blood stains on the child, then wrapped the child in a red swaddle and placed it beside her.
The wound on her body still hurts, and her brain is dizzy, but she can’t close her eyes no matter what.
Her mind is full of the ‘helpless’ grandma she saw not long ago.
The same is in their 30s, and the other party is still the mother of a child, but when the two stand together and compare, they are more than 10 years old.
I heard that the **** who once reported on her husband – the ‘helpless in the world’ grandfather, is now the head of a certain department, with a monthly salary not low, and various subsidies and bills.
But what about myself and my husband? Suffered torture and cold stare.
One was wounded and the other died.
All that the other party enjoys was stolen by them in the wrong way, by stepping on the bones of their husbands and drinking their own blood.
This happy and peaceful life should belong to their family!
Madam Xia hates it.
The more she hated the pain, the more obvious it was, and at the same time, the more she couldn’t sleep.
I don’t know how long it has passed, but the outside of the ward is bustling.
She closed her eyes and pretended to be drowsy, and then heard her “helpless” grandma being sent to the hospital bed next to her.
When there were only the two mothers and newborns left in the room, Mrs. Xia opened her eyes again, staring coldly at the pale woman with her eyes tightly closed on the bed next to her, full of hatred.
Why should the victim have nothing and have everything ruined.
But the perpetrator lived a well-fed and happy life? !
She is not reconciled.
I also don’t want to make this family feel better.
Mrs. Xia knew that this was her only chance, and she had to make a decision as soon as possible.
Soon the “helpless” grandfather will know that his wife has given birth prematurely, and will come to the ward to visit his wife and newborn daughter.
And after leaving this ward, she never had a chance to approach and take revenge on this family.
She is a widow, how can she shake the head of the department?
So Mrs. Xia supported her aching body, regardless of the torn wound, and walked to the hospital bed next to her step by step.
Seeing the peaceful sleeping faces of the woman and the child on the bed, she slowly picked up the pillow, trying to smother the mother and daughter to death.
But when she was about to start, she heard her daughter’s raving on the bed behind her, and she calmed down again.
She knew in her heart that if she killed the mother and daughter and avenged her husband, her daughter would also become the offspring of the murderer. She would be drowned in spittle in this age, and what a miserable life she would have since she was a child. Days can be imagined.
It is impossible for elder brother and sister-in-law to treat her as well as their own children.
Looking at the two sleeping babies on the two beds, a bold idea came to her mind.
Not long after, the nurse entered the ward again and saw two pairs of ‘sleeping’ mother and daughter.
When a newborn is born, its skin is red and its appearance is not bad.
Therefore, the most obvious means used by obstetrics to distinguish children is the difference in the color of swaddling clothes.
After confirming that the color was correct, the nurse went to check the child’s temperature again, and she didn’t think much about it when everything seemed normal.
The nurse could never have imagined that the heartbeat of the ‘sleeping’ woman lying on the bed in one scene was beating like a drum, and she couldn’t calm down for a long time.
Mrs. Xia changed the two children.
She has never done any work in the countryside, raising chickens and ducks, and delivering pigs, so she has already developed a pair of skillful hands.
She only needs to take a closer look at the swaddle when it is unwrapped to know how to wrap it and the order in which to wrap it.
And all this she did, no one really found out.
After that, the grandparents who were “helpless in the world” took the initiative to find her and expressed their apologies to her, saying that they had nothing to do at that time.
They have been living in guilt all these years, and they also said that Mrs. Xia and her husband’s redress letter were drafted together, and they signed and agreed immediately.
Although it was too late, they still wanted to make up for their guilt and make up for Mrs. Xia.
Faced with the couple’s guilt, Mrs. Xia just said very calmly:
Let the past go, I don’t hate them anymore.
Holding the child in her arms, she watched the couple leave with a happy smile on her face.
She really doesn’t hate it anymore.
Because her daughter will get the best of everything, the love of her parents and elder brother, a wealthy family and a smooth life, she will be pampered like a little princess.
The daughter will get back the life she deserves.
After saying all this, Mrs. Xia stared straight at the dull-looking ‘worldly helplessness’, and asked gloomily:
“Now you come to judge, is your family innocent or my family innocent?”
‘The helplessness in the world’ had a rough throat, and said in a hoarse voice for a long time:
“But, these are the grievances of the older generation, and have nothing to do with the younger generation! These emotions shouldn’t be vented on us!”
The old lady Xia sneered: “Yes, everyone always says that children are innocent, but who has ever thought about what kind of life a child without a father, a mother who is looked down upon, and no money at home will live?
Isn’t my daughter innocent? ! “
“If it wasn’t for your grandparents who did those things, I wouldn’t need to change my child at all, because my daughter will live a good life from birth. It’s your grandparents who should go to labor camps, and your mother Have a hard time!”
As she spoke, she smiled silly again: “I just got everything back on track.”
“I did nothing wrong, they were wrong.”
“They deserve it.”
Looking at the crazy old woman, Gu Zhisang sighed softly.
She knew that many years ago, on the night her husband died in the countryside, the old lady went mad.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also speechless for a while, not knowing how to express their current mood.
A highly praised comment was finally pushed to the top, representing the voices of countless viewers:
【Another unresolved bad debt…】
Many people think that Mrs. Xia is really bitter, and they can understand her desire for revenge, but the mother and son who are “helpless in the world” are indeed innocent.
If you want revenge, you should also take revenge on the person who reported her husband, instead of torturing the younger generation.
‘The world is helpless’ Looking at the old lady’s hateful face, I just feel very tired and wronged.
He looked at the emaciated mother on the bed, with a nasal voice:
“Grandma, I have called you grandma for more than twenty years, and my mother has called you ‘mother’ for almost fifty years. We have never been disrespectful to you for a single day, even if you have a weird temper, even if you don’t like my dad…”
“Could it be that you have been a mother and daughter for fifty years, and you don’t feel touched or soft-hearted at all?”
The old lady Xia’s body froze suddenly, and she couldn’t speak for a long time.
Only then did the audience in the live broadcast room realize that she hadn’t glanced at the bed from the beginning to the end.
Perhaps guilty conscience, perhaps guilt.
Gu Zhisang sneered, the meaning was unclear: “She is moved and soft-hearted, but in the end she can’t compete with your mother and your grandfather’s growing resemblance, or your intergenerational relative and your grandma’s resemblance.”
“Looking at you mother and son, the hatred in her heart can’t be relieved at all. Maybe she really wants to treat your mother as a daughter, but she can’t do it looking at that face.”
From the complicated and entangled child line of Mrs. Xia, it is enough to see that her feelings for her “helpless” mother are extremely complicated.
Gu Zhisang narrowed his eyes slightly and said, “However, one thing is certain, the transshipment technique on your body was indeed cast on purpose by her, but the monster on your mother’s body… or devil? Devil? In short, there are horns on the top of the head that look like wild beasts. It’s so smart and weird, it’s not that she took the initiative to use this thing to haunt and torture your mother for so many years, in order to torture and hurt your mother.”
She paused for a moment, thinking about a more accurate statement:
“It should be said that the old lady never thought of hurting your mother subjectively, but the pain your mother suffered was indeed caused by her.”
“Actually, the person who is entangled by the devil should be your grandma.” Gu Zhisang:
“Mrs. Xia, I’m right.”
