That was a very ordinary day.
Chu Muye was drowsily woken up from his dream by Chu Chaoge, and then got up at Chu Chaoge's gentle urging.
After Chu Muye finished washing, Chu Chaoge gave Chu Muye a packed torn schoolbag.
Although the schoolbag contained some textbooks that were torn up by my mother, they were glued together page by page.
After her mother came back from drinking last night, she banged things at home, and then she felt that it was not enough, so she tore up all the new books that Chu Chaoge had finally saved money from working to buy for Chu Muye.
In the end, she used a wooden whip to beat Chu Chaoge, who was firmly protecting Chu Muye, while cursing and using unpleasant words on her lips.
After she finished venting her anger, she went back to the house to sleep without even looking at her daughter and son who were lying on the ground in a miserable state.
While suppressing his crying voice, Chu Muye called to his sister to ask Chu Chaoge not to pass out. Then he went to find alcohol in the corner and disinfected Chu Chaoge's wounds.
They dare not use iodine, just because iodine is colored, and their mother will become more violent after seeing it.
Fortunately, mother drank too much this time and didn't spank them for long.
After Chu Chaoge gave Chu Chaoge the medicine, he moved Chu Chaoge to the small bed. Then he knelt on the ground and began to glue his torn textbook bit by bit, but after sticking more than half of it, Chu Muye I couldn't stand it anymore and fell asleep.
I think Chu Chaoge provided the rest.
Chu Chaoge looked at the boy in front of him who had already washed his hair white in school uniform, and then stuffed Chu Muye with a piece of bread. She touched her brother's soft hair and said softly: "Go to class and ask the teacher if you don't understand."
"What should you do if dad comes back?" Chu Muye, who had been lowering his head, suddenly raised his head and stared at Chu Chaoge.
Chu Chaoge lowered his eyes and said, "It doesn't matter. Dad only wants money. As long as I give him the money, he won't hit me."
Then Chu Chaoge touched his head again: "Do you have another class tonight?"
Chu Muye nodded.
Chu Chaoge smiled at him: "Be careful on the way back and stay safe."
Chu Muye opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but nothing came out. In the end, he could only leave this dark and messy home with his schoolbag on his back.
After the door closed, Chu Chaoge closed his eyes slightly, then returned to the room and pulled out the transcript from the drawer.
That was a list of Chu Muye's recent results sent by Chu Muye's school.
She went to Chu Muye's school the day before yesterday. The teacher told her in embarrassment that Chu Muye's father had come to the school and asked the school to give him the scholarship Chu Muye had just won in the Mathematical Olympiad competition, otherwise he would cause trouble in the school.
The teacher knew about Chu Muye's family situation. His father was a gambler and his mother was an alcoholic.
A family of gamblers and alcoholics.
The school had no choice but to give him the scholarship, and he even went so far as to request that the tuition fees paid by Chu Chaoge to Chu Muye be refunded to him so that Chu Muye could stop studying.
In this case, the school said no.
After Chu Chaoge finished listening, he bowed to the teacher: "Sorry to trouble you."
Now Chu Chaoge is sitting on the small bed where she and Chu Muye have squeezed for more than ten years, staring blankly at this report card.
The room was very small, the light was very dim, and it could only barely fit a small bed. However, Chu Chaoge clearly saw on the report card that Chu Muye's performance had declined sharply in the recent period.
Chu Chaoge knew that it was because during this period, his mother drank more and more fiercely. Even though she tried her best to protect Chu Muye, Chu Muye was so frightened that he couldn't make a sound.
And her father stayed at the casino every day, even staying out at night. When he came back, he would beg for money from her. If he couldn't get the money, he would beat Chu Muye severely in front of her.
At this time, Chu Chaoge heard the sound of opening the door from outside the room, and then the sound of footsteps.
She didn't move.
Then the father's cursing voice sounded, saying that he had raised a bitch and a loser and only wanted to spend his money. After a while, his father's snoring came through the door panel of the room like thunder.
Chu Chaoge listened quietly for a while, then she lowered her head and looked at Chu Muye's report card on the bed.
Finally, Chu Chaoge reached out, carefully folded the transcript and stuffed it into his pocket.
Chu Chaoge opened the door and walked out, and saw his father sleeping soundly on the sofa.
So she took a kitchen knife out of the kitchen.
Chu Chaoge, who was holding a kitchen knife, walked up to the man and looked down at the man called his father. The man looked very slovenly and his clothes were as wrinkled as pickles.
This was the first time she saw the man's face clearly.
All this time, she would either lower her head and give him money directly, or stretch out her hand to get money for him when he was beating Chu Muye.
His facial features were somewhat similar to Chu Muye's, but Chu Chaoge thought that he was probably somewhat similar to her.
Chu Chaoge knelt down and gently pressed the kitchen knife to the man's throat.
That's a very vulnerable place.
She had seen the man from the house next door kill a chicken. The man said that after the chicken neck was wiped, it would bleed. Although the chicken would still move, it would die soon.
Therefore, if she makes a slight stroke now, her father will die.
Chu Chaoge showed a smile, which was very similar to the smile before sending Chu Muye out.
The man was still snoring, maybe because he had been too hard at gambling last night, so without hesitation, she cut a long gash on the man's neck.
Suddenly, blood sprayed directly on Chu Chaoge's face.
Chu Chaoge smiled very happily.
Chu Chaoge stood up and suddenly remembered that she and Chu Muye's alcoholic mother were sleeping in another room.
So she took a kitchen knife and knocked on the room.
After typing, Chu Chaoge went straight into the room without waiting for a response from the people inside, while her mother was smiling coquettishly with the man on the other end of the phone, making an appointment for a drink later.
When Chu Chaoge came in, she just hung up the phone. Chu Chaoge called her mom. She immediately looked at Chu Chaoge with disgust and said: "You bitch, come in and do this..."
"ah--"
She was frightened out of her mind by Chu Chaoge who was covered in blood.
"You...you, you bitch, what did you do?" She pointed at Chu Chaoge and said incoherently.
Chu Chaoge tilted his head: "What did I do? I didn't do anything. I just played a game with my father, and now I'm here to play games with my mother."
She suddenly turned pale, and her sharp nails kept flying in the air, trying to attack Chu Chaoge.
Chu Chaoge still had a smile on his face.
"Mom, let's play games together. A few years ago, didn't you like playing games with me? You took me in your room, and then let a strange uncle come in and play hide-and-seek with me..."
