Chapter 2108: Blood-Red Period
The girl, who was still a little girl, asked in confusion. She remembered that she had always lived a tight life at home. She could only eat such a sumptuous meal on her birthday or during the Chinese New Year.
"It's okay, eat it. Mom is happy today!" A strange smile appeared on the woman's face. The girl looked up and vaguely saw that her mother's eyes were red and swollen.
She didn't rest well last night, she thought.
In any case, just like not having to go to school, it is always good for children to have delicious food. Even the dog at home was excited and wagging its tail.
"Don't eat first!"
"Remember! You must wake him up and watch him eat before you can eat!"
The mother came over, hit her hand that was about to eat secretly, pointed to the man who was sleeping on the side, and warned.
"Yeah!" The girl nodded. She was very obedient. She would definitely listen to her mother's advice.
"Then you promised mom!" The mother squatted down, first made a pinky promise with the girl, then hugged her tightly, and looked at her for a long time without speaking.
"Be good, mom is leaving." The mother stood up and whispered to her.
"Ah? Mom, where are you going? I want to follow you!" The girl looked at the table full of delicious food, swallowed her saliva, but still looked at her mother firmly.
She would rather starve than leave her alone with the man at home!
"Mom won't go far, you will see her again soon!"
"Listen to mom! Go, wake him up, tell him to get up and eat!"
The mother touched her head, looked at her deeply at last, smiled, and then turned and left.
For some reason, although her mother had a smile on her face, she felt that her mother was crying.
The mother went out, and the girl looked at the man leaning on the chair. Although she didn't want to have contact with him, she had to do what she promised her mother.
"Hey! Wake up! It's time to eat!" She walked over and kicked the man's stool in a bad mood. She still remembered what happened last night and hated the man in front of her.
"Well... I didn't make a fuss... I have no money... I don't gamble anymore..." The man said in a daze.
"Get up! It's time to eat!" the girl called again.
But after trying for a long time, the man just couldn't get up.
She was already hungry, and she was even hungrier when she smelled the tempting smell of the food.
"Take a bite! I'll take a bite first!"
Saying this to herself, the girl came to the table and looked at the table full of sumptuous food. For a moment, she didn't know where to start.
The dog at the table looked up and stared at her hand, drooling and wagging its tail wildly, as if telling her to give me a bite too.
Just as she picked up a piece of chicken and was about to put it in her mouth, she seemed to hear a splash and water sound.
For some reason, at that moment she seemed to have some feeling, and she couldn't help but throw the chicken back into the plate, and walked towards the sound in a daze and at a loss.
The direction of the sound was the pond not far outside the house, which was blocked by the kitchen and the big tree.
Before she got halfway there, the strange sound disappeared, but she still walked towards that place like a possessed person.
When she came to the big tree and looked at the pond below, the scene she saw was unforgettable for her whole life! !
In the middle of the pond, the mother was lying on her back in the water, wet all over, with her hair tangled on her face and neck.
Only a pair of scattered and absent eyes were exposed, with a hint of smile at the corners of her mouth, silently looking at the gloomy sky.
In an instant, the girl, who was stunned by the scene in front of her, knew that she was dead.
And it was suicide.
The pond was not deep at this time, and the deepest part was only up to the mother's waist.
But she still drowned herself.
The girl still couldn't imagine how painful it would be before her death if her mother could drown herself in such a situation!
Only the despair of life can force people to this point!
After being stunned for a few minutes, the girl burst into tears, and the cry startled the birds around and woke up the sleepy man.
"What's wrong! What's wrong! So early in the morning, crying for a funeral!" The man staggered out and shouted dissatisfiedly.
But when he came to the pond, he was dumbfounded, staring at the corpse in the pond, stunned by the scene in front of him.
Recalling this, many things after that became extremely vague in the girl's memory.
The pain of losing her mother made the young girl extremely painful. She forgot many things, such as she didn't know how she spent the initial period.
But the only things she remembered were two things.
One was that after the man stood there for a while, she heard his muttering: "This woman... I haven't paid the debt I owed last night..."
The other thing was that she heard the shrill whimpering of her own dog coming from the house.
Later, when she returned home and saw the mess beside the dining table and the dog corpse with foaming at the mouth on the ground, she realized that all the food was poisoned by her mother.
If the dog hadn't been too greedy, it would have stolen the food on the table when no one was at home, and they would have been lying on the ground.
Perhaps last night, she had made up her mind to leave this world.
The only thing that the mother cares about in this world is her daughter, so she wants to take her away with her, because she knows that no one can take good care of her when she is gone.
As for the man, she was full of anger and hatred towards him, so she kept telling her daughter to watch the man eat first.
But the woman couldn't bear to see her daughter fall in front of her, so she left first.
"This woman! What a cruel heart!" This is what the man said when he learned that the woman had poisoned all the food.
His face was extremely ugly at that time, and his head was full of cold sweat.
"Mom, if I had eaten it at that time, I would have left with you." This was what the girl kept repeating in her heart for a long time.
Because there was enough evidence of suicide, the police came just to go through the motions, and the matter was over quickly.
The mother was hastily buried by the man, next to the big tree by the pond, and the funeral was not held because they were so poor that they couldn't even open the pot.
The mother died because of this man, so she left this world in despair, pain and helplessness.
She was powerless to change her tragic fate, because all the tragedies had been doomed since she made that compromise choice!
So she could only use death, her own life, to put a decisive end to all this.
But life is extremely ironic. After a woman dies, a man's spring comes!
And her most worried daughter also ushered in a new round of nightmares!
