Lin Chu was born into a poor family in a poor mountain village in Xiangcheng. She was the first child of her parents, so her father, who had little education, named her Lin Chu.
It stands to reason that parents will love their first child more, but Father Lin and Mother Lin are an exception, because this is a couple that values sons over daughters. Mother Lin may not be so patriarchal, after all, she is also a woman, but her husband she relies on
She favors boys over girls, and she can only follow suit.
So when Lin Chu was one year old, Lin's mother became pregnant again. After ten months of pregnancy, she gave birth to a daughter again. Lin's father named the second daughter Lin Shuang, which means there are two daughters in the family.
The couple gave birth to two daughters in three years and did not dare to give birth to another child easily. They waited until Lin Chu was five years old before they gave birth to a third child. The result was another daughter. The couple was so disappointed that they did not even give her a name.
Five-year-old Lin Chu is already a little sensible. She knows that her parents don't like girls, so she is extremely well-behaved. Even a little older child can already do the housework within her ability, and can also help take care of her younger sister.
After the birth of his third daughter, Lin's father didn't even want to see her. He also refused to let his little daughter sleep in his and his wife's room at night. He even didn't let his wife feed their little daughter because he wanted to starve to death.
When the little sister was hungry at night, Lin Chu secretly went to make rice soup to feed the little sister, and she managed to feed the little sister. She also went to beg the educated elders in the village and gave the little sister a name, Lin Shan, after Coral.
Shan is also a homophone for three.
After Lin Shan, Lin's mother was pregnant several times. Every time, Lin's father took her for a secret examination. As soon as he found out it was a girl, he aborted the pregnancy. When Lin Chu was young, he only remembered that her mother's belly had been bulging several times.
times, but I don’t remember how many times I was pregnant, and I didn’t give birth anyway.
Not only that, because the family was poor and had many children, Father Lin even gave away his second daughter, Lin Shuang, and his third daughter, Lin Shan, to others one after another. No matter how much Lin Chu cried and begged, he still sent both daughters away far away.
.
Lin Chu remembered that the second sister was only six years old when she was sent away, and the third sister was even younger when she was sent away, only three years old.
The three daughters gave away two, and Lin Chu was left with only one child in the family. Father Lin and Mother Lin began to think about having a child again. Mother Lin got a folk prescription from somewhere, and drank Chinese medicine every day to regulate her body, looking forward to the next child.
A son.
When Lin Chu was twelve years old, Lin's mother was pregnant again. After the B-ultrasound this time, she was very happy to have a son. Lin's father was so happy that he gave her all the good food in the house to nourish her body.
It was the first time that I ate nothing but fat food during pregnancy, and it was also the first time that I enjoyed the treatment of pregnant women.
Even during the ten months when Lin's mother was pregnant, Lin's father beat and scolded Lin Chu less. He no longer scolded her as a loser as before, and even beat her after drinking.
Lin's mother and Lin Chu both lived a good life for ten months, but this good life ended after Lin's mother gave birth, because Lin's mother gave birth to another daughter.
Lin's father made a big fuss in the hospital at that time, claiming that the doctor had transferred his son. After a paternity test was performed, Lin's father accepted this fact.
It can be imagined how much Father Lin hated his newborn daughter, even more than he hated his third daughter. As soon as he got home, he started contacting people to sell his little daughter. Not only did he want to sell his little daughter, but he also wanted to marry Lin Chu.
, and asked her to get married as soon as possible. He felt that if he could not give birth to a son, it was Lin Chuke's fault, which affected his luck.
Lin's father asked someone to arrange a marriage for Lin Chu. The man was a widower from the next village whose wife had just died. According to rumors, he was beaten to death because he was mentally ill.
But because the man's parents were willing to give Lin Chu a generous betrothal gift to become a child bride, Lin's father agreed without hesitation. Lin Chu heard this when he got up in the middle of the night to feed his little sister rice soup.
At the age of twelve, she was already completely sensible. She knew what would be the fate waiting for her if she did not escape from this home, so she resolutely chose to escape.
When her parents went to the groom's house in the next village to collect the bride price, she stole all the family's money and escaped from the devil's cave-like home with her newborn sister.
Perhaps it was God's blessing that the escape process went very smoothly. She first took the bus to the county town, bought a bus ticket and left the county town. When she arrived at a place where train tickets were available, she bought a train ticket and sat at the bottom station.
Just got off the car.
She was still too young at that time and could not support her sister on her own. She had taken her sister away so far along the way and all the money she had had long ago been spent. She had to find a place to take the two sisters.
So she chose an orphanage. She carried her younger sister to the orphanage and lied that both she and her younger sister were abducted by human traffickers, and that her younger sister was not her biological sister, but was picked up by her when she escaped from the traffickers.
The director of the orphanage took this matter very seriously and even called the police. The police came and asked her a lot of questions. She was just a child anyway, and her hesitant answers were not suspected.
Later, she and her sister lived in an orphanage. She lied that she didn't know her name and the aunt who happened to take care of her was named Lin. She said she would take her aunt's last name and call her Lin Chu, and named her sister Lin Xi.
Take the meaning of hope.
The director thought these two names were good, so he registered their household registration under these two names, and she and Lin Xi lived in the orphanage.
This stay lasted for four or five years. Lin Chu could no longer live in the orphanage after she became an adult, so she moved out of the orphanage with Lin Xi. Lin Xi was not yet an adult at that time. The orphanage took pity on her and still funded Lin Xi's education.
Lin Chu only needs to earn living expenses for two people.
Later, Lin Chu entered the Hengcheng Group through his own efforts, and his salary and benefits became better and better, and his life gradually improved, until Lin Xi was diagnosed with leukemia.
In order to treat her sister, Lin Chu needed a better job. It happened that Su Lin's previous special assistant resigned due to pregnancy at that time. The president's office arranged a sign for employees within the group, so she signed up.
Originally she just wanted to try her luck, but she didn't expect that she was lucky enough to be selected by Su Lin and became the president's special assistant. Her salary and benefits were suddenly increased a lot.
In the past two years, she had been living frugally to pay for Lin Xi's medical expenses. Although she lived a poor life, she never regretted her decision as a child. Running away from that home was the thing she regretted least in her life.
If Mother Lin hadn't suddenly appeared today, she would have forgotten what her parents looked like, and how her father and mother favored sons over daughters when they were young, and how they sold their extra daughters for money.
If such parents are worthy of being called parents, then are there any animals in this world?
Lin Chu would rather his parents died early, because that couple was a nightmare for her and her sisters.
She thought she had gotten rid of the nightmare a long time ago, but in circles, the nightmare came back again. No matter how calm she appeared on the surface, deep fear actually emerged in her heart.
