Chapter 96: The Story of a Friend (2)
When he woke up, the boy and the two girls huddled together were gone.
He was afraid and asked the fat woman who was wiping his face: "Mother-in-law, where did they go?"
The woman threw the dark towel in her hand into the basin and said: "Baby, I am a girl, not a mother-in-law. Those babies have been given to others, and you will have parents soon. You are both blessed."
Yes. My life is miserable and I have to take care of you freeloaders every day!"
Then the man who gave him a soda drink and the fat woman took him first by train and then by horse-drawn carriage for a day's journey.
In the evening, I arrived at the home of a man and a woman, left him behind, and left.
The man and woman began to treat him well, buying him delicious food and new clothes to wear. Gradually, he began to recognize these so-called parents.
As he grew older, he learned that his current place was Langfang, Hebei Province, which was also in the countryside.
But the good times did not last long. When he was seven years old, the so-called mother became pregnant and gave birth to a little brother.
His suffering began when his younger brother was born.
His adoptive parents always disliked him no matter how they looked at him. They would insult him in some cases and beat him in severe cases. The bruises on his body were never broken.
In the middle of winter, he was forced to wash his clothes in freezing well water, and his hands were covered with frostbite.
The winter clothes were all from a few years ago and didn't fit at all. My wrists and ankles were all exposed to the cold wind.
The neighbors couldn't stand it anymore and said a few words, which made the adoptive parents angry.
Not only did he scold the neighbor, but he was also beaten, and he was also scolded: "Eating for free is unnecessary!"
Speaking of this, Yang Xiuwen was very excited. This was an experience he had in his previous life, which was unforgettable and would be unforgettable for the rest of his life.
Zhang Peng's eyes were also red, he clenched his fist and waved it, and cursed: "A bunch of beasts, all damn beasts!"
Li Xiaotong didn't speak, but she cried hard.
After a while, Li Xiaotong wiped his eyes that were red from crying and asked: "What happened to your friend?"
He took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully with the girl, and then said: "In order to survive in this family, a seven-year-old child did all the work at home, studied very hard, and got double hundred points every time.
.
But they didn't get any kind words from their adoptive parents. The cold looks, insults, and beatings continued.
Until he was eight years old, he was not allowed to go to school, saying it was a waste of money.
He became angry, and one day while the two of them took his little brother to watch a movie, he stole 200 yuan from the family and left that hellish home.
Where to go? He didn't know, because due to chronic malnutrition, the eight-year-old child followed the crowd onto a train like a little chicken.
The ticket inspector saw him but did not stop him, thinking he was the child of a certain passenger.
I followed the crowd out of the station and stood alone on an unfamiliar street. I had no idea where I was or where I was going.
For several days in a row, he wandered around the streets. When he was hungry, he would buy steamed buns. When he was sleepy, he would sleep in the waiting room or a nearby park.
Fortunately it was summer, otherwise it was doubtful whether he would have survived.
He knew the city he was in - Zhongjing, China.
I have been drifting for more than ten days and see that all my money has been spent. What will I do next?
One day, he was discovered by an old policeman in ragged and dirty clothes.
I took him to the police station and after questioning, he told me that he had been trafficked and escaped.
I don’t know what my parents’ names are, and I don’t even know where my home is.
The police at that time were really nice. They gave him a haircut, a bath, and found clean clothes for him to change into.
Sitting in the dining room of the police station, holding hot noodles, he cried, heartbreakingly.
The police officers at the police station did not persuade him. They understood very well that an eight-year-old child should live happily in the pampering of his parents.
Instead of wandering in society like Sosuke.
But the conditions for handling the case at that time were very difficult. It was even more difficult to find information on the missing people four years ago from the vast Bashu area!
The police had no choice but to leave him at the police station.
He was sent to an orphanage through relevant departments.
In the orphanage, he met his lifelong benefactor, the director of the orphanage - Mu Yihui. "
Yang Xiuwen lied here. In fact, the dean’s surname was Yang, Yang Hui.
It’s impossible not to lie! Could it be that Zhang and Li were told that they themselves were the orphans?
"The dean looks to be in his fifties, not tall, with neatly styled gray hair, and a pair of beautiful eyes on his wrinkled face. When he smiles, his eyes turn into crescent moons.
She is very good to the children in the orphanage. The children all like to call her Mommy Mu and Grandma Mu.
When Dean Mu saw him covered in wounds and as weak as firewood, tears flowed down his face.
He stepped forward and held him in his arms, patted his back gently and said, "This is a sin! Why do you have to do it?"
Then he held his little face with both hands and comforted: "Don't worry, kid, no one will bully you anymore, this is your home."
After saying that, I took his little hand and walked towards where the children lived.
As he walked, he said, "Grandma will take you to meet other children. They will be your older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters!"
Indeed, as the director said, the ten years in the orphanage were the happiest ten years of his life. Although the food and clothing were not very good, you can only know the value after losing it, and you can know the sweetness after suffering.
He took the dean's surname and was named Mu Xinsheng. He worked very hard in school and was admitted to Chungkyo University with excellent results when he was eighteen years old."
Having said this, he was also puzzled as to why Dean Yang named him Yang Xiuwen instead of Yang Xinsheng.
