Chapter 27
Those who have never experienced it will never know that the word "patriarchal" is the eternal pain in the hearts of many girls...

She was born in the countryside, a place where patriarchal thoughts are extremely serious.Since she was a child, she had to do all kinds of work, but her brothers and sisters never did it.Even a little bit, she didn't even have the chance to go to school.

At home, she is always the lowest one.Food, clothing, and housing are not as good as those of my elder brothers and younger brothers, and I have to find time to work when I am busy studying.

Occasionally, if anyone in the family is in a bad mood, she may be used as a punching bag...

That time, her brother was scalded with hot water and felt unhappy.When I got home, I dragged her over while she was doing homework, burned the scissors red, ignored her struggle, and pressed hard on her hand...

After crying and struggling to get away, she covered her trembling, scalded hands and went to find the adults, but she got a question: "My brother is playing with you, what do you care about?"Such a fluffy answer.

The wound on her hand was her own medicine.No adult came to ask her if she was in pain, to give her medicine, to give her even a little, just a little bit of worry.Her heart began to slowly cool down.

In the end, she left an extremely ugly scar on her hand.

But she is also a little fortunate, at least, her family is not too extreme.She had seen with her own eyes that an aunt whose neighbor loved to laugh strangled her daughter to death with her own hands; a woman she had never met threw her daughter into the river to drown...

So slowly, slowly, time passed.

When she graduated from high school, her family asked her to marry someone so that her brother could marry a wife.She refused, packed her things, and fled that so-called "home" overnight.

She came to the big city alone, with no one to rely on, she worked several jobs a day, and slept under the flyover at night. With perseverance, she made up enough tuition fees by herself to go to college.

The school learned of her situation and subsidized her monthly living expenses.But even so, she still needs to work hard to pay for her tuition.

Four years of college passed in a flash. After graduation, she joined a state-owned enterprise.Although it is only a small employee, the treatment is very good.

She is alone, living a small life of working at sunrise and resting at sunset, and occasionally invites friends to go shopping and travel.Let your own little days live happily.

Later, during a shopping trip with a friend, someone robbed her mobile phone, and she called for help in a panic.

A man on the side of the road quickly called the police, and then rushed forward to chase the robber... Finally, the mobile phone came back.There is also a connection between her and the man.

At some point, she became friends with a man; at some point, she became best friends with a man; at some point, a man began to pursue her...

During the time when she was in love with a man, she felt a feeling of being cared, cared for, and held in the palm of her hand, which she had never felt before.That feeling, very happy...

She and the man were soon married.Before the wedding, she had invited her natal family to attend, but her father refused, claiming that there was no such daughter as her.

She was also sad for a while, but relieved again.After all, since she was a child, she has never been loved, right?
She began to fantasize about a better life after marriage.She will have a loving relationship with the man, have a few children, and grow old together...

But the days after marriage were not as beautiful as she imagined.Her mother-in-law kept picking on her, but her husband never uttered a word to help her, and she began to feel a little frustrated.

But at this time, she went to the hospital due to physical discomfort, only to find out that she was pregnant.

The mother-in-law who heard the news changed her attitude 180 degrees, taking care of her with all kinds of delicious food and drink, and her husband also returned to the caring when he was in love.

Her cold heart was immediately warmed back, and she felt that they were all very kind to her, but she didn't feel it.

When she was five months pregnant, her mother-in-law took her to secretly check the sex of the fetus.When she found out that it was a boy, the mother-in-law was not to mention how happy she was, and took care of her even more diligently.

During childbirth, she suffered from pain all day and night, but what she gave birth to was a daughter.The mother-in-law flung her sleeves away in anger, scolding her for wasting her energy.The husband didn't say anything, but followed suit.

She spent five days alone with the child in that bleak hospital.

From then on, she was heartbroken.She knew that she had also married into this patriarchal family, and she was very afraid that her daughter would follow her path.

Maybe God is like this, what to be afraid of, what to come.During the confinement period, she did everything by herself; after the confinement period, she was busy with work and childcare at the same time.

It's fine if the mother-in-law doesn't want to help take care of the child, and she won't be allowed to hire a nanny, and the husband is even more of a "maternal boy" and won't help her...

The daughter is still young, but the mother-in-law often beats and scolds, saying that it was originally the son's, so it must have been lost by the daughter.He is also crazy, and he sends it to his children when he is unhappy.

Every time she stopped her, her husband would drag her aside and beat her.But even so, she will still protect it desperately.She didn't want her daughter to be hurt.

Based on the idea of ​​not wanting the child to have no father, while protecting her daughter, she also worked hard to support the marriage.However, all she did would only hurt the mother and daughter even more.

When her daughter was five years old, she brought her husband and mother-in-law to court with a single complaint.In the end, the court ruled that the two divorced, the man compensated her for mental damage, the daughter was brought up and persuaded to return to her, and the husband and mother-in-law will be imprisoned...

At the end of the court, the mother-in-law and her husband scolded her for being heartless and unjust.But the moment she led her daughter out of the court, she felt that every step was easy...

I lived with my daughter for two years. During the two years, the mother and daughter depended on each other for life, and their lives were considered very good.

But after her ex-husband and ex-mother-in-law were released from prison, they came to harass them many times.There was no way, she called the police, moved again, and changed all contact information.

That day, her daughter told her that she wanted her to find a new father for herself, and that the new father would protect them when he came, so that he would not be afraid of bad fathers coming again.

She hugged her daughter and laughed and cried.

In fact, she looks good, but there are many people pursuing her.But because she was afraid that the other party would treat her daughter badly, she never thought about finding another person to spend the rest of her life with her.

Thinking that her daughter may need a new father and a father's love, she thinks to observe carefully and find someone who treats them sincerely.

It was a man who had been chasing her for a long time and had been chasing her since she divorced.Even when she moved to get rid of her ex-husband, he followed.

He lives in the opposite door, and usually takes good care of their mother and daughter, and is also very good to her daughter... This made her a little bit moved, and she considered whether to accept him or not.

Seeing that her daughter liked him very much, and the sincere smile she showed after being with him, she also smiled.When he asked her to be his girlfriend again, she agreed.

It's a pity, he is not her lover...

Because later on she slowly discovered that her daughter had been close to him before, but she was a little afraid of him.This point became more obvious after she had a close contact with him.

I asked my daughter if he was bullying her, but she just shook her head and said nothing.

She had no choice but to secretly install a camera at home.

It was nothing at first, until one day, the camera captured him beating and scolding his daughter.Seeing that picture, the crying of her daughter appeared in her mind, and she felt a pain in her heart.

After returning home quickly, she exploded, and with strength from nowhere, she dragged him over and beat him mercilessly.Then he threw him out with everything.

"Be good, baby. From now on, mother will never find you a father again. It's good that we depend on each other, okay?"

"Okay..." The daughter threw herself into her arms.

She guessed the reason why he treated his daughter badly, but her daughter didn't want to tell her.Because of her silly daughter, I want her to be happy.

She quit her job to start her own design firm.

When the company was first established, she experienced various difficulties; later, the company almost closed down several times, but it was all because of her that it survived.

It's not that she never thought of giving up, but that whenever she sees her daughter's well-behaved appearance, she is motivated and determined to give her the best.

Women are weak, but mothers are strong.

Her daughter has held parent-teacher meetings since she was a child, and she has never been absent; whenever she is free, she will take her daughter out to play; when her daughter grows up, she becomes an artist and wants to come to a gallery, and she fully supports her...

But that day, when her daughter came to her with her partner, she was a little silent.For nothing else, the object of my daughter is a girl.

She still knows that girl, she is the director of a big company.Her company has cooperated with them several times.

After thinking for a long time, when her daughter was trembling and fearing that she would disagree, she smiled and said, "Whether you are a man or a woman, as long as you really love each other."

"Mom..." The daughter hugged her, she didn't know whether she was excited or touched, and she even cried.

"Stupid child, as long as you are happy." She patted her daughter on the back, looked up at her daughter's girlfriend, "It's good to find a girl, at least, she won't be like my mother, who is patriarchal like my mother-in-law." The girl's eyes are blank."

Soon, she watched her daughter step into the palace of marriage and live a peaceful and beautiful life after marriage.She also adopted a baby and gave her a little granddaughter...

Seeing her daughter brimming with happiness, she smiled contentedly.Although she had a lot of pain and suffered a lot, but fortunately, her daughter will not be like her...

In fact, sometimes, those patriarchal families are really scary, really... Believe, if those who suffer from patriarchy are given a chance to choose, they will never choose to be born in a patriarchal family, Would not choose to marry into a patriarchal husband's family...
