Chapter 40 Dirt Road One

What does the system mean by punishment? Mercury understood it as soon as he recovered consciousness from this body.

This world is different from the previous three worlds.

"Laggy guy! You don't get up quickly. You just don't want to work in the house. Is it because you spend so much money to buy you and let you sleep at home? A lazy woman! Get up!" An old woman outside cursed and cursed her voice getting closer and closer. Mercury slowly got up on the bed, feeling the wet and pain under her body.

Although she hadn't experienced this, the plot she got from the system gave her an answer, which made her understand what was wrong with this body - she had just given birth to a child yesterday, and her body was conveying pain to her.

The thin wooden boards were pushed open, and an old woman in a torn cotton jacket came in. Her face was full of gullies, looking like she was in her seventies or eighties, but according to the information in the plot, she was only in her fifties.

This is normal. In such a dilapidated countryside, poor families facing the loess and facing the sky will appear much older than their actual age.

"Get up quickly. There are so many things to do at home. You are lazy here and you are dying!" The old woman used her thin and wrinkled hand to pull her off the bed, dragged her out.

It was just dawn, and the sky in the distance was connected with the rolling mountains, and a layer of autumn dew covered the yellowed grass leaves in the yard.

The house is covered with earthen walls and tiles, not very large, and has no windows, making the house look dark.

"Go to cook the fire, go and cook pig grass when you are ready to go back to feed the pigs, do you hear it!"

Mercury silently observed everything around him without making any sound.

The old woman seemed to have become accustomed to the silence of women. After talking with a tiger's face, she entered a room. Mercury soon heard the voice of a child coming from the room, and the sound of the old woman coaxing people.

Mercury looked over there expressionlessly. The two old men in the family and their only grandson, the son she gave birth to a few years ago.

Since being sold to this countryside as a teenager, this woman, whose real name is Liu Xiangxue, has been pregnant for eight times in total. She has given birth to three children five times due to heavy labor. But now only one boy is still alive, and the other two girls, including the baby girl she just gave birth to yesterday, are dead.

This is a very poor place. The poor can't support one more population, so the two babies will die.

The feeling of hunger made Mercury's mind clearer. She passed the plot in her mind again and subconsciously felt nauseous.

Liu Xiangxue was originally a student. She was abducted and sold on her way to school. She was sold to this remote and poor village as a teenager. The family that bought her was also surnamed Liu, and she had two brothers in her family. She was almost thirty and forty and had no money to marry her wife. She used the savings of the whole family to buy a woman and continue the incense for her brothers to have children.

- Liu Xiangxue was kidnapped by human traffickers and tried to escape and was beaten to death, so she sold it to them at a cheap price.

In recent years, Liu Xiangxue has not only become a machine for giving birth, but also has to work from morning to night every day. She is stupid, but she can teach her work. She only occasionally makes her stupid and doesn't know where she is and walks around. At this time, the Liu family will tie her to the house with a rope, like tying a dog.

["Silly Mother" is a work that shows great maternal love beyond all the great maternal love. Although Liu Xiangxue is a fool, she is born to know that she will give everything for her children. This is the real mother!]

Yes, in the original plot, this fool's mother was kept by the Liu family for more than ten years. When her son grew up, the old woman and the old man died. Something happened to the eldest son of the Liu family and the second son of the Liu family. She was the only one who took care of her son. But she was a fool. Even if she cut her flesh and blood, her head stumbled and raised her with blood, her son still felt that she had lost all her face for herself.

As the only college student who has walked out of this small countryside, her son has the knowledge that his parents and ancestors have never had in their entire lives, but he has not become a person who knows how to be grateful.

Solzhenitsyn said: Knowledge cultivation does not lead to morality.

That's true.

Her son finally admitted her fool's mother in the end, but this did not prevent him from getting married and having children in a big city, and left the fool's mother alone in this small village to fend for himself. The fool's mother didn't blame him, as if the meaning and pain of a lifetime could be satisfied by a light "mother".

What a standard great mother without regrets.

This world caused Mercury to have more discomfort than the previous three worlds combined, not because Liu Xiangxue is the most miserable woman, but more because it reminded Mercury of very bad memories and her own home.

The woman who gave birth to mercury was also a woman who was cheated and sold to the countryside. However, she was not as miserable as Liu Xiangxue, and the countryside was not so dilapidated and closed. After the woman gave birth to three children, she gained the trust of her husband. She said she wanted to go out to work and earn money to raise children, but she never came back.

Mercury is a girl who grew up in the countryside, but she was born with a very strong sense of reluctance. She didn't want to marry a man when she was a teenager and stayed in the countryside for a lifetime to have children, and then let her children repeat the same life trajectory.

She happened to be lucky. That year, the nearby village started Hope Primary School, and she was able to go to school.

Studying may be the only opportunity for women at the bottom to change their destiny in their lives. When other children are playing and playing ignorantly, Mercury seizes this opportunity and almost spends all her time studying.

Her father, that man was not a good thing, he was rogue and greedy and lustful. When Mercury was still young, a TV station went to do a show, called "Come Back Mom". They visited the countryside, collected some families with their wives, and asked those children who had lost their mothers to memorize lines on the show, cry, and call their mothers to go home.

Mercury didn't want to go, but the program team gave money. The man was willing to do anything when he saw the money, so the three of them were on the show.

The audience in the audience was moved to wipe their tears. The host tried to contact their mother and call her, hoping to try his best to promote a perfect family and reunite them. But Mercury only felt that his self-esteem was smashed into pieces in the sensational BG and the ringtones of the phone that had not been answered for a long time.

She stood crampedly on the stage full of light, with so many people who were above and above pity them, and the hosts next to her seemed to fiddle with them as props, like a terrible nightmare.

The woman did not show up in the end, Mercury was almost relaxed, and she didn't want her to show up. But her father was very unhappy. He sat at the door of the TV station to cheat, saying that they could not get his wife back, so he refused to leave, and refused to let them continue to play the show, and even took his three children to cry everywhere.

In the end, the TV show had no choice but to give him some money, so he asked him to put away his rogue appearance and take his three children away.

The amount of money extorted from TV shows has always been one of the man's proud boast.

It was when Mercury followed the man down the steps at the TV station door, and listened to the staff behind her pointing and saying that the family was shameless and crazy. She was only ten years old and swore in her heart that she would leave this family and get the opportunity to dominate her destiny.

One day, she will definitely be able to support herself and maintain her dignity, and never be ridiculed for her poverty and background.

She did succeed. She was admitted to the best university and almost created miracles. While her peers were enjoying their carefree youth, she tried her best to learn everything she could learn. She grew up quickly and became a glamorous and successful woman. No one knew how embarrassed she had ever been.

But now, this system seemed to peel off her proud coat and wiped her into the quagmire of struggle when she was young.

【This is the punishment for you】

Mercury refused to communicate with the system, and her anger was pressed under that layer of skin, as if she had split her into two people, and began to calmly examine the world again as an adult.

Liu Xiangxue's son is a thin and thin boy of a few years old. He is very naughty. He is the only boy in this family and the hope of this family. So Old Man Liu and Old Man treat him very well. After making breakfast, Old Man Liu and Old Man Liu also came back. They had to go to the field to work early in the morning before coming back to have breakfast.

The man sat on the table over there and drank porridge, and the old woman was holding a bowl under the stove, and Liu Xiangxue could only eat here. Her bowl was filled with two pieces of sweet potatoes and turbid soup.

The porridge is for the only little boy. Men eat sweet potato taro and add some dried vegetables, and Liu Xiangxue can't even eat sweet potatoes.

No one in this family was willing to pay more attention to Liu Xiangxue, a fool. After two strong laborers finished their meal, they went to work again. Old man Liu also went there, and only the old woman, little boy and Liu Xiangxue were left in the room.

The old woman took care of the little boy and did some relaxing things by the way. What Liu Xiangxue had to do was not only take care of a vegetable field near the house, but also wash urine buckets, beat pig grass, cook pig food, feed pigs, chop wood, etc.

Mercury tied firewood in the yard, and the little boy played with the little stone not far from her. He laughed and laughed and called her a fool, fool.

Mercury looked at him coldly, took the hatchet and the basket, and she wanted to beat pig grass.

When she walked outside, she remembered the pesticide bottle she found in the corner of the house, and suddenly raised her lips and smiled.

Is this a real world or a false world? It doesn’t matter. She only knows that she is not Liu Xiangxue, and this small village deep in the mountains cannot trap her.

It takes a road to beat pig grass. Mercury walked here and saw the soil that was overturned in the middle of the road, and slowly stopped.

There was also a small stone pressing on the obviously newly turned soil, which meant that something had been buried underneath.

The baby girl born to Liu Xiangxue yesterday was strangled to death by the old woman and buried under this road.

The villagers have to go in and out of this way. They don’t want to raise a baby girl after giving birth, and they are strangled to death and buried under such a big road. If they step on too much, they will not be able to reborn. In the future, girls will never dare to reborn in their family. This is what the old woman said when Liu Xiangxue gave birth to a child. She firmly believed in this statement.

She was very dissatisfied with Liu Xiangxue giving birth to another girl, so she had to get up to work just after giving birth.

She is the same human being, and she was born in this world. Her brother can get all the favor and hope, but she was strangled to death by her grandmother when she was just born and buried in the middle of the road.

How ridiculous.

There were yellow dandelions growing on the roadside, and I picked a mercury flower and threw it on the small stone.
