My mother and I escaped from our hometown.

I've seen my father beat my mother more than once, sometimes with his hands and sometimes with a broom. Later, my father beat my mother with whatever he had in his hand. The most serious one was to chop my mother's arm with a kitchen knife.

Fortunately, my mother can hide quickly, otherwise the whole arm will be cut off by my father, but I can still see the bones inside. My mother can't even see the doctor when sewing needles in the hospital, so I advise my mother to share with my father.

My mother also had this idea, but not long after she gave birth to my sister, she really couldn't take her two daughters to leave the family. But this time, my father cut off the knife and cut off my mother's last memory. My mother took advantage of my father to go out gambling, and left the house with me forever.

My mother won't come back. She's dead for this man, but she doesn't want to give up my sister. She's still so young and not weaned. My mother cried very hard that night. My grandmother was in the next room. I guess she should hear my mother crying, but she didn't come to see her. When my mother and I left home, my grandmother came into my mother's room, Pick up my sister.

My grandmother probably guessed that my mother was leaving

I was 12 years old.

My mother took me to Dongguan first. She worked in a factory. During that time, she also found a boyfriend, but the man was not very reliable. My mother and he were good for a while, but they still separated. Later, my mother came to Guangzhou, where she found a job as a nanny. Both of her employers were university teachers and needed a reassuring nanny to be at home alone during the day Look at their children, they see my mother looks gentle, and quick, so they want my mother.

My mother later found a part-time job to do housework in the evening, and our money finally relaxed, so my mother settled down in Guangzhou. At first we lived in Baiyun District. Later, for the convenience of going to work, my mother moved to a village in the city near the Hakka village.

There are handshake buildings here, but it's very busy. It's more interesting than the place I lived before. I finally feel the peace of life. Although we moved several times later, we just changed rooms around here. The people living in this area are familiar with us, and I also read books nearby.

Usually I live in a school, which is required by my mother. She is worried that a girl of mine is not safe at home. What she thinks is right. The people living in the village in the city are mixed. The woman living next door is a chicken woman, while the man living upstairs is a drug dealer. In short, there are all kinds of people, but as long as you don't violate their boundaries, you will always meet them Peaceful coexistence, no malice at all.

My downstairs is Arlo's store. Arlo's stepmother doesn't like my mother very much. She thinks her husband always likes to take care of my mother, but she can't see it. My mother doesn't like her either. They don't say hello when they walk on the road.

How can my mother take a fancy to Arlo's father? My mother is determined to marry a rich man, even at the age of 70 or 80. She is afraid of a life without money.

My mother always told me to study hard, women want to marry what kind of people, the initiative is in their own hands, you want to marry a rich man, you have to send yourself to the rich man's place, do chicken do mistress will only send yourself to the rich man's bed, but to send to his home, you have to rely on their own skills and ability. It's no use just being good-looking. You have to have something in your stomach. If you read your books well, you will have better people to choose from.

So my mother hates me being with Arlo. She knows Arlo likes me, but she never allows her daughter to fall in love with people like Arlo.

"Man Xin, you should remember that women's first time is very important. If you want to give it to someone who is useful to you, don't give it to a man casually. You will regret it."

"Mom, what you said is too bad. I have no time to study every day now. I'm not in the mood to talk about my boyfriend."

"That's right. Study hard. When you are admitted to XX Polytechnic, you can choose a lot of good men. You can choose a good one and let your mother live a good life with you." My mother touched my head. She was a little tired during this period. The hostess who hired her during the day was sick, so she took care of the children and the hostess. She was very tired every day.

"Mom, you ask him to increase your salary. It's not worthwhile to be so tired every day."

"Well, people should be grateful. The salary they give me is not low, and they often give me things. I don't want to embarrass them too much." My mother laughed and turned to peel an apple for me to eat. "By the way, Feifei's birthday will be in a few days. I don't know what she looks like now? I miss her so much

"I miss her too. Shall we go back and see her?"

"I don't want to go back. I'm really scared Forget it. Don't say that. You can finish the apple and go back to school. I'm going out to work, too. "

I nodded and finished the apple.

When my mother walked away, I immediately put my head out of the window and whistled at Arlo downstairs. Arlo immediately pushed his father's motorcycle out.

Arlo is going to take me to school.

In fact, alo drives his father's motorcycle to send me to school every weekend. I sit behind him. When we get to the school gate, we will find a sugar shop nearby to have a drink.I thought no one knew about me and alo, but today when I got out of alo's car, my head teacher saw me. I thought she didn't see me, so I jumped out of the car and hid. But she still found me. She told my mother that I was associating with bad young people in the society and asked my mother to watch me closely. After all, my grades were so good that I was sure to get into the exam Don't ruin my future because of this.

The next day, my mother asked for leave to come to my school to find me. I pretended to be stupid, but my mother slapped me hard.

This is the first time my mother beat me. I cried after she beat me.

"Lu MANXIN, I worked hard to earn money for you to study, not for you to get along with the son of the Sichuan guy downstairs! Do you want to live in a house the size of a chicken coop with him? Bathing and changing clothes are all under the eyes of the whole house. Do you quarrel with the next door neighbor for a few cents every day and make your neck red? "

"Mom, you've gone too far. I didn't say I was going to marry him."

"Yes, you didn't say that you would marry him, but now you have this possibility with him. If you don't take care of his child, your life will be ruined. Look at me, I'm a living example. Do you want to live my life again? Don't you want to know if I have the money to pay your college tuition? I'll tell you now, of course, I've saved enough money for your tuition, because I slept with the landlord, so we haven't paid the rent in recent years. Naturally, I can save your tuition! "

"Ma!" I was so surprised that I suddenly understood why the landlord had the key to my home. It turned out that it was my mother

"So, if you still want to get along with Arlo, just think about whether you are right about your mother!" My mother sighed, turned and went out.

I collapsed on the ground and had no thought at all.
