Chapter 2 Mother's Weakness

Xu Tian was already 12 years old when she came to the city with her mother Tian Xiu.

Under Tian Xiu's insistence that "one who is barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes", her ex-husband Xu Zhenhua had to start applying for her daughter's household registration.After all, he didn't want to lose his job at the street office, and he didn't dare challenge a crazy mother's bottom line.

After transferring her household registration, Xu Tian successfully enrolled in a local junior high school.

Tian Xiu also found a job in the university cafeteria, but her income was limited. She lived with the cafeteria workers in a ten-person dormitory.

There is no accommodation in the junior high school. Tian Xiu originally wanted her daughter to live with him, but the small single bed and the messy dormitory environment made it difficult for Xu Tian, ​​who could not keep up with the local teaching progress, to improve her grades.

At this moment, Xu Zhenhua came up and scolded Tian Xiu for not being able to provide a good environment for his daughter. He took Xu Tian to live at home.

At this point, Tian Xiu turned to look at Lin Man, crying with pain and self-blame: "It's all my fault. If I had gritted my teeth, rented a house, and not allowed Xu Zhenhua to take Tiantian away, Tiantian might have died. Will not die..."

Lin Man could already hear the sound of a loving mother's heart being crushed. She said to Tian Xiu seriously: "What happened to the victim was caused by the perpetrator. If there must be a if, it should be a punishment. murderer."

Tian Xiu stopped crying, thought about Lin Man's words, and her eyes instantly became firm, "Yes, Teacher Lin, you are right."

Lin Man asked calmly: "What happened to Xu Tian? Please tell me what happened."

Xu Zhenhua's remarried wife was widowed and married Xu Zhenhua with a son.

Before Tian Xiu's mother and daughter came to the city, their family of three lived with Xu Zhenhua's parents, and the three generations of grandparents lived happily together.

After Xu Tian moved in, the Xu family built a shed in the yard that didn't have much space after putting a single bed.

Tian Xiu believed that Xu Zhenhua let his daughter live in his house so that he could have a nanny.

12-year-old Xu Tian may not be too old, but she is still able to work.

After Xu Tian moved in, she washed the whole family's clothes, cleaned, cooked, and massaged the so-called grandma's legs and waist from time to time.

These are all things Tian Xiu found out about Xu Zhenhua's neighbors in the past few days after Xu Tian's accident.

Xu Tian is very sensible and knows that it is not easy for her mother. She also knows that her mother has to send most of her salary back to her hometown to treat her grandfather, so she tells her mother the good news instead of the bad news.

At least with a mother who works in the cafeteria, Xu Tian can still eat enough and even eat well.

Xu Tian's accident happened last Sunday. On Saturday night, she came to the school cafeteria to look for her mother as usual.

Tian Xiu left a big chicken leg for her daughter as usual, and the cafeteria owner also gave the child a large piece of braised pork knuckle.

Tian Xiu clearly remembered that her daughter said with satisfaction while eating: "I will take the college entrance examination in one year. After I am admitted to university, I will work part-time as a tutor or a part-time salesperson. Then I can be with my mother." Rent a house to live outside.”

At that moment, Tian Xiu really felt that her suffering was about to be over. She was afraid that her daughter would be under great psychological pressure, so she even advised her: "Just do your best, and it's okay if you don't get into college. I heard from teachers in the university that there are many opportunities now. Everything has its day."

"Yeah! Mom is right. If we can't get into college, my mother and I will open a food stall in front of the school. Sooner or later, we will have our own house."

The next day, Monday night, Tian Xiu was doing the final cleaning work of the day in the cafeteria when he was suddenly called out.

The person who came was a policeman from the police station. Only then did Tian Xiu know that her daughter had committed suicide by throwing herself into a well in Xu's yard last night.

Xu Zhenhua's family said that their child committed suicide. The senior year of high school was about to start, and they were under great pressure and couldn't think about it for a while.

The results of the forensic examination also showed that the cause of death was drowning. Except for some scratches when jumping into the well, there were no other wounds and no signs of struggle.

Based on the body spots and the swelling state of the body, the forensic doctor speculated that Xu Tian's death time was around [-] o'clock on Sunday night.The police from the police station asked the neighbor, who said that he did not hear anything unusual around [-] o'clock last night.

Xu Zhenhua urged the police station to issue a death certificate and cremate the child as soon as possible.

The policeman at the police station vaguely felt something was wrong. How could a father press for a death certificate after his daughter had an accident?

So, the police went to visit Xu's house again.

The police then learned from neighbors that Xu Tian’s biological mother was in the city.

For nearly a week, the police station found no clues to the murder, and because the deceased did not struggle or ask for help, it was ruled out that he fell into the well accidentally.

But Tian Xiu firmly disagrees with the conclusion that her daughter committed suicide.

After hearing this, Lin Man basically knew in his heart that if what Tian Xiu said was true, there was indeed no possibility of Xu Tian committing suicide.

When they were approaching Xu's house, when the nearby residents saw Tian Xiu, they subconsciously avoided her eyes, and some even turned around and walked away quickly.

Realizing that Tian Xiu was not alone, he looked at Lin Man curiously.

Tian Xiu smiled wryly at herself: "They probably think I'm a lunatic. They think it's normal for a lunatic mother like me to force her daughter to death."

Lin Man did not comfort Tian Xiu. Before the conclusion came out, everything he said was false.

Soon, they came to a large courtyard.

The courtyard is divided into three. From the layout, it can be seen that three families live here.

The neighbor woman who was drying clothes saw someone coming in. She looked over and saw that it was Tian Xiu. She immediately frowned and said in disgust, "Why are you here again! Today is your daughter's first year. You have such skills." If you come here to make a fuss, you might as well go burn some paper for your children!”

Tian Xiu's chest was rising and falling, and a feeling of suffocation almost made her unsteady, "My daughter will never die with her eyes in peace! Finding out the truth is more important than solving the first seven problems!"

The neighbor slapped the sheets on the clothes rail hard and whispered: "What a madman, bad luck!"

The neighbor's retracted head quickly popped out, probably out of curiosity about who Tian Xiu had brought, but he was met with a pair of cold eyes.

Lin Man said coldly: "No matter what the truth is, it is immoral to ridicule a mother who has lost her daughter."

"You...if your house cannot be bought because someone committed suicide, I wonder if you can still be a moral model." The neighbor stared angrily.

"My daughter did not commit suicide!" Tian Xiu said every word with pain and forbearance.

Lin Man turned her cold eyes, looked around, and finally fixed her eyes on the branches of the crabapple tree peeking in from outside the wall. She said: "Fifty years ago, a soldier set a trap, and defeated dozens of thieves one by one, and annihilated the thieves in one fell swoop. Japanese invaders who stole ancient books. The following year, a scholar who studied ancient books bought the house with even blood stains on it, renovated it, and lived in it.

Some people suggested that a house where so many people died was unlucky.Scholars say that in the hundreds of years of history of this city, no one has died anywhere.Later, the scholar was slandered and the family committed suicide in the house.As soon as the body was taken away by the funeral parlor, there were people rushing to move in. These people felt that the family had no descendants.At that time, why didn't you think the house was unlucky? "

The neighbor's face changed drastically and he couldn't say a word. He glared at Lin Man fiercely and turned around to go back to the house.

None of them noticed that there was a young man standing at the door of the courtyard.

The man has sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and an indifferent and lazy expression.After listening to Lin Man's words, he twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled slightly, but there was an indescribable suaveness about him.
