On the first day of work at the Long Corporation, the head of the human resources department, Cheng Si Si, gave the work card to Mu Zixi. Mu Zixi held the card tightly in her hand, afraid that it didn't belong to her. When Cheng Si Si introduced all her colleagues to her one by one, she squeezed her hand and told herself that this was not a dream. From then on, she was also a member of the first-tier enterprises in the country. This was a job that many college students like her dreamed of. When Cheng Si Si brought her around the various departments of the company, she was drunk. It was a feeling that was even more satisfying than drinking a fragrant and sweet wine. She was walking in a paradise filled with flowers. Her beautiful life was about to begin. Her excitement was no less than that of a Hollywood star walking the red carpet. White, clean, exquisite, high-end, European-style tiles that could reflect a person's figure, and luxurious, bright purple-red curtains. All of this reminded her once again that these were all real. Mu Zixi silently swore in her heart that she would definitely do her best and stand out. She would definitely make her father regret his decision back then!
"Xiao Mu, this is where you do your work.”Finally, Cheng Si Si led her to a spacious and bright office and pointed to a seat on the left side of the door. That position would be hers in the future. There were a few people at the office table beside her, focused on their work. She liked the serious working atmosphere in the company. When she thought of herself becoming one of them, a supreme sense of glory filled her heart.
"Alright, thank you." Mu Zixi tried his best to restrain his excitement and replied calmly.
"Manager Long is on a business trip and won't be coming today. Here are some information about our company. Take a look and familiarize yourself with it.”
"Thank you." Mu Zixi placed the bag she had picked up from the street stall in the office drawer. She sat down and looked at the information. When she saw the glory of the Long family and thought of her father, her eyes became a little wet. She could not focus on reading anymore and her thoughts returned to the past.
"I want a divorce. I can't let our Mu family die without descendants.”It was his father's cold and resolute voice. She often had this sentence in her dreams. She couldn't remember anything else.
Ever since she had a clear memory, she had been living with her mother. His mother said that his father had already started a new family. She had a younger brother who died before he was a year old because he had diarrhea and was not treated in time. If his younger brother was still alive, his father would definitely not abandon his family and son. However, there were no ifs in this world.
Every time she talked about her brother, her mother's eyes would always turn red and she was unwilling to say more. At that time, she was still young and ignorant of the world. In order to satisfy her curiosity, she always chased after her father and brother. Although her mother was heartbroken and unwilling to mention it, she still said something. After that, there was a long silence. From the bits and pieces of memories and her mother's words, she finally figured out the whole story of her brother's premature death. Every time she thought of this, her heart would ache so much that she would suffocate. Those related images would always appear vividly in front of her eyes in the dead of the night or when words related to her father were involved.
That day, the sky was clear, but his brother was crying non-stop. His mother wanted his father to take his brother to the hospital for a check-up. His father was a little muddle-headed because he had just drunk some wine. He said impatiently that it was normal for a child to cry and that it would be fine if he coaxed her. His father didn't care too much and blamed his mother instead. She made a fuss over such a small matter and caused a ruckus.
Seeing this, her mother insisted on coaxing her brother. However, she fed him milk, gave him toys, and carried him gently…She tried all kinds of methods and tried everything she could, but it didn't work. Her mother felt that something was wrong and became more and more flustered. She cried and begged her father to go to the hospital. At this time, his father's drunkenness had dissipated a little. Seeing that his mother was angry, he stubbornly went to drive the tractor. Before they left, her mother gave her brother an embroidered anti-evil red undergarment, a rice bag, and a big green umbrella. The three of them went straight to the village.
Alan happened to be his father's friend. After Alan checked, he said that his younger brother was only infected with diarrhea and that it was not a big deal. He would be fine as long as he was put on an IV drip. Alan's words reassured his parents. His father was relieved. He trusted Alan completely. Previously, when she was five years old, she sneaked into the kitchen during someone else's marriage and mistook the wine for water. She fainted on the spot. No one knew the reason and panicked. Her father drove the tractor and rushed her to Alan's place. Alan rolled his eyes and could tell that she had been drinking. She had a bottle of IV drip and was fine. Alan was a real fighter.
Although her mother was still flustered, she trusted Alan and no longer acted as worried and frightened as before. Alan gave his younger brother an IV drip while he cooked two good dishes for his father to drink. It was difficult to refuse Alan's kindness. Alan's father and Alan had a drink and chatted in the southern part of the country. However, her mother was not in the mood to eat. She kept looking at her younger brother worriedly. Her heart was always hanging in the balance when her younger brother was not doing well. After half a bottle of IV drip, her mother saw that her brother did not get better. Instead, his face turned green and purple bit by bit. His breathing became weaker and weaker. She finally could not hold it in anymore and called her father to go to the city. Alan heard the voice and looked over. He also felt that the situation was not good and that he could no longer control it. He wanted his father to go to the city immediately.
Alan's father bade Alan farewell quickly and rang the sound of the tractor. The mother pulled on the red duvet that was used to ward off evil spirits and wrapped her brother tightly in a small blanket. She opened the umbrella and hugged him tightly in her arms, constantly calling his name. She sat on the tractor, afraid that if she let go or stopped, her brother would leave her. Even so, before his father and mother arrived in the city, his younger brother had already lost his breath. Halfway there, the mother could not detect her brother's breath. Her soft muttering suddenly turned into a mournful wail."Long 'er, Long' er, wake up." It echoed through the empty valley and covered the heavy panting of the tractor. His father knew that the situation was not good, so he quickly stopped the car. He walked to the front of the car and stretched out his hand to check. His face froze. After a long time, she slowly said,"He left."”
"No, no, that won't happen." Although her mother knew that this was the truth, she refused to accept it.
His father didn't say anything else. He just drove the tractor forward in a dull manner.
His mother sat in the car and wailed," My child, come back quickly. Long 'er, come back. I can't live without you."”His father's tractor didn't reach the city. It stopped at a shop selling coffins. His father snatched his younger brother from his mother and handed him over to that man. He gave him the burial fees he had requested. After doing all this, his father brought his mother home, who was weak and unconscious at that time. It was said that her mother had been in the rain for more than ten days.
The villagers once discussed that the name Mujianglong was not chosen well and was too domineering. It was difficult for ordinary rural families to live without a rich life. His younger brother was born with a mighty and heroic aura. He was also a little smarter than ordinary babies when he was born. People said that if he could raise such a child, he would definitely be a big shot in the future. If he did not have that fate, he should be careful. Every time she heard something related to this, her mother felt as if a knife was being twisted in her heart and she did not want to eat or drink. If she could hear such words before she lost her brother, perhaps her brother would not have left. Even though the father was the one at fault, the mother didn't want to hold anyone responsible. She was just heartbroken over the loss of her beloved son.
Mu Zixi didn't believe in these things at first, but later on, she met a girl at her grandmother's house. She was two years younger than her. Not only was the little girl as beautiful as a piece of art, but she also had a golden mulberry that everyone envied. She was as beautiful as a nightingale when she sang. Those who had heard her sing would never forget her. Everyone in the village liked her very much and praised her for being smart, good-looking, and good at singing. However, the girl had passed away when she was only in first grade. Mu Zixi didn't know what was going on. She only knew that the girl liked to have nosebleeds.
Later on, Mu Zixi learned that the poet she liked, Xu Zhimo, had passed away at the age of 34. Hence, she liked Bai Luomei's words," God gave you a lifetime of talent, but he will not give you a plain and stable life." Therefore, for a long time, her brother left. Although she felt regretful, she felt that perhaps this was fate. Sometimes, she really wanted to overthrow this ridiculous excuse from herself. But in the end, she was defeated by her mediocre aptitude. After struggling a few times, she became calm and even believed in fate.
His father had lived with his mother for three years, and his mother's stomach had never moved. Later, she went to the city for a check-up and found that her mother's ovaries were necrotic. She had to undergo ovariectomy, and her mother would never have a chance to get pregnant again. After returning home from Xiangfu, his grandfather and father had been troubled by this matter every day. Every time they saw a new descendant, their hearts would ache and their anxiety would increase. In the end, this anxiety ended with the divorce of his father and mother. At first, her father lived in the new house while her mother lived with her parents-in-law, hoping that there would be a way to turn things around.
However, less than half a year after the divorce, through the introduction of the coal man, his father married the second daughter of the Wang family in the neighboring village, Wang Erxiang. Although Wang Erxiang looked fierce, had a strong back and a strong waist, and did not have any femininity, in the first year of their marriage, she gave birth to a white and fat boy for her father. It was named Wood Purple Wood. After that, her mother cut off all thoughts of her father. With deep despair, she took her to her grandmother's house and never contacted him again. When Mu Zixi was 12 years old, her father went to visit her once. Her father had just stepped into the main room of her grandmother's house. Before she could take a good look at what her father had become, she was scolded by her two uncles and her grandmother's neighbors. They chased him away in a hubbub. After that, she never saw him again. Mu Zixi hated him, but he also wanted to see him.
This unexpected inauguration had once again given her some hope and confidence. She wanted to let her mother live a good life and return to her hometown in glory. She wanted her father to regret abandoning her and her daughter back then. She wanted to prove that her adopted daughter was not worse than her adopted son. She bit her lip and pulled herself back to her thoughts before continuing to read the information.
