uncle Qin helped with the funeral arrangements.
Less than a month later, my mother took me and my younger brother to live with uncle Qin. Our surname was changed from "Ren" to "Qin".
In the eyes of the villagers, this was nothing unusual: uncle Qin and my father were good brothers. After my father passed away, it was all thanks to uncle Qin that our broken and dilapidated family didn't fall apart. Taking care of the three of us not only did not attract criticism, but also earned him a good reputation.
On the night when my mother and uncle Qin officially moved in together, it was raining heavily. I had a stomachache and quietly got up to go to the outhouse. As I passed by my mother and uncle Qin's room window, I heard their conversation coming from the dark room.
uncle Qin: "Juan, we finally waited for this day!"
My mom: "Ah, it's like a dream... Do you think what we've done will incur divine punishment?"
uncle Qin: "What are you talking about? They are the ones who deserve retribution!"
My mom: "But I get scared whenever I think about it, I have nightmares at night!"
uncle Qin: "Don't be afraid, you have me!"
My mom: "It's because of you that I'm afraid!"
...
I listened to their conversation with almost cold hands and feet.
When my mom was young, she was like a flower in the village, and she was the object of pursuit for many young men in the surrounding area, including uncle Qin and my dad. The three of them were once good classmates in the same class. My dad liked my mom, but in reality, my mom liked uncle Qin.
After my grandfather passed away, my grandmother placed all her hopes on my dad, hoping that he would marry and continue the family line. One day, when my mom and uncle Qin went to visit my dad, it was raining heavily, so my grandmother let them stay at our house.
I don't know what my grandmother did, but somehow, my mom ended up sleeping with my dad, and then my dad married my mom, leaving uncle Qin behind.
My mom and uncle Qin both think that it was my grandmother who set up the "trap".
And my father's death was intentionally caused by uncle Qin! The two of them together delivered prefabricated cement boards to the family building the house from the prefabrication plant. On the day of the accident, it was his idea to take a shortcut through the river channel. When the outer wheel got stuck in the mud and sand, the moment the cement board fell off the car, instead of telling my father to get out of the way, he shouted, "Hold it up!" My father instinctively used his body to support it. How could a body weighing over 100 pounds support several thousand pounds of cement board? Then he was crushed underneath.
uncle Qin began openly helping my family with work and also started a relationship with My mom. What I saw when I delivered the food was just the tip of the iceberg!
I don't know how I got back to the house. Later, I started to have a fever and talk nonsense: "Dad, I'm scared! Grandma, I'm scared!" The barefoot doctor in the village gave me a shot. When I woke up, I saw my mom and uncle Qin and hid under the blanket, shouting, "You killed my dad!" My brother held my hand and cried. People in the village said I was "possessed" by unclean things, and no one took my delirium seriously.
From then on, I became withdrawn. I dropped out of school and spent my days in silence, only knowing how to cook, wash dishes, do laundry, and work in the fields. Since then, I have never called anyone "mom" or " uncle Qin ". Everyone thinks I have a scar in my brain.
After that, I also fell into deep trouble. They both beat me, grabbing whatever was at hand to hit me - burning sticks, iron rods, rice scoops... In winter, they forced me to wash my hair with cold water and work in thin clothes... They wanted me to keep my mouth shut forever.
But I persevered because no one believed what I said, and I never spoke of their crime again.
At the age of 17, the two of them started to arrange a "marriage" for me. I thought that the days of suffering were finally coming to an end, but instead, I was greeted by another nightmare.
