An Yao’S Observation Diary Chapter 30
byExtra An Yao (1)
An Yao lost his father when he was six years old.
He was too young at that time and did not really understand the meaning of death.The toddler held his mother’s hand as always, his round eyes filled with confusion.
“Mom,” An Yao asked in a low voice, “Why didn’t dad come home for dinner today? Is he going to work overtime again?”
Liang Xin didn’t answer, she just lowered her head and trembled her shoulders silently. Something seemed to fall, and a damp and fishy smell stained An Yao’s hair, as if a continuous rain had fallen.
When An Yao woke up again, the house was hung with white cloth, and many adults, both familiar and unknown, gathered together, talking in low voices in twos and threes, raising their hands to wipe their eyes from time to time.He tried to breathe hard and felt a heavy pain in his chest for no reason.
Some people were crying, some were comforting, and some were choking. Only An Yao’s face was blank, as if he was excluded from the whole world.
He subconsciously wanted to find his mother, but a neighbor sister he knew gave him a gummy.
“Aunt Liang is not in a good mood right now.” My sister sighed, “Yaoyao, you have to be good.”
An Yao held the gummy in his mouth, and the sweetness slowly melted on the tip of his tongue, and soon turned into a sticky clog in his throat.
“What a sin, why did you leave at such a young age?”
“The child is orphaned and widowed, and the child is only six years old.”
“I heard they are all omega, how can we live…”
The gummy sticks to his teeth. An Yao sips it hard. The sweetness dissipates, leaving only unbearable thirst.
He wanted water, he didn’t want to be here anymore.There is no mother beside him, and his father is nowhere to be seen. No matter where he goes, he will be met with probing eyes, accompanied by trivial comments, making the young child shake his head irritably.
“I want to be good.” An Yao whispered to herself, “Don’t cause trouble to mother.”
So he stood there until Liang Xin came over and took him away.
The perpetrator paid compensation, but life without his father was like a rice vat with a leaky bottom, emptying out little by little.
The usually smiling mother’s face was filled with sadness. She began to leave early and come home late, dragging her tired steps around, but often returned without success. As a result, the objects in the home disappeared little by little, and poverty quietly gnawed at everything, leaving only empty gaps.
But it’s still not enough.An Yao’s stomach shrank day by day, and her hunger gradually rose, clamoring to engulf everything, but Liang Xin was powerless and could only hold the toddler in her arms and sob and say sorry.
But one day, a strange man came to the house.
The man was not tall, much shorter than Anyao’s father, and he had a simple and honest appearance.When he saw Liang Xin, his face was immediately filled with an eager smile, and his voice was raised a little higher, “Sister-in-law! I am Brother An Zhong’s former friend, you can just call me Guoqiang!”
He was holding heavy rice and oil in his hand. Before Liang Xin could speak, he couldn’t help but stuff it into her hand. His words were full of familiarity, “Brother An left early. It’s not easy for you orphans and widowed mothers! His family is my family. Don’t be polite to me. If you have any difficulties, just tell me!”
Liang Xin didn’t answer, and even closed the door slightly, her eyes full of defense.
Seeing this, the other party quickly bent down and wanted to reach out and rub Anyao’s head to activate the atmosphere, but An Yao dodged him.
“Brother Li,” Liang Xin blocked An Yao behind him, “The child is timid and afraid of strangers. Don’t be surprised.”
Li Guoqiang’s outstretched hand hung in the air, and the smile on his face seemed to freeze for a moment, but soon returned to his honest and honest look.
“It’s okay,” he said with a smile, “Children are like this. It’ll be fine once you get used to it.”
The man came with rice oil, and then left with the things exactly as they were.
Later, Li Guoqiang came several times with his things, but Liang Xin sent them back intact every time.She was still running around, looking for any job that could support herself and An Yao, but reality gave her countless cold slaps time and time again.
“Omega should stay at home!”
“You are not born to work. Wouldn’t it be better to get married and have children?”
Liang Xin cut her hair short, put on barrier stickers, and pretended to be an ordinary beta. She thought she would be safe, but during a major inspection, the gender on her ID card was revealed.
So she lost her job again.
An Yao didn’t know how her mother could silently swallow those sharp curses. She only remembered that after she got home that day, she sat in front of her father’s portrait for a whole day.It was also from that day on that she no longer pushed away things handed to her by Li Guoqiang.She remained silent, but her attitude seemed to gradually soften silently.
The long-lost heat and meaty smell once again appeared on the dining table. An Yao’s stomach was no longer shriveled, and Liang Xin’s frown was smoothed out a little.
“Don’t worry, An Yao will be my child from now on.” An Yao heard the man say, “I will treat you two well.”
Liang Xin just lowered her head and said nothing.
After some time, they packed up their few luggage, left the familiar house and moved into Li Guoqiang’s home, officially starting a new life.
At the beginning, Li Guoqiang was very kind to them. He often brought snacks and fruits back after work, and also bought some new clothes for Liang Xin and An Yao.
“There’s no need to save money,” he said grandly. “You have to spend the money you earn. Being happy is the most important thing.”
“Is it too expensive?” Liang Xin said, but a sincere smile gradually appeared on her face, “…Thank you.”
They all laughed.
They spent a warm time like this until Li Guoqiang got drunk that night.
The man didn’t know how much he drank outside, and he staggered into the house, muttering vague curses, and his whole body was filled with the smell of alcohol.
“Keep your voice down.” Liang Xin subconsciously wanted to support him, “Yao Yao has already fallen asleep, don’t…”
Before she finished speaking, a heavy muffled sound shattered her unfinished words, and screams of pain and shattering sounds suddenly erupted in the quiet room.
An Yao quietly got up from the bed and tiptoed against the door.Through the gap, he saw that Li Guoqiang’s fist was swung directly at his mother’s face, causing the woman to stagger back instantly.Liang Xin couldn’t dodge, she bumped into the corner of the table and wailed, then she immediately covered her shoulders and huddled on the ground.
An Yao suddenly stopped thinking.
“No, no!” The toddler rushed out of the door and blocked his mother with his small body. “You can’t hit mom!”
“Yaoyao…” Liang Xin struggled to get up, “Don’t, don’t…”
The man turned his head when he heard the sound and looked at An Yao with bloodshot eyes.There was a strong stench of alcohol coming from his mouth and nose, and his big hand stretched out towards An Yao.An Yao felt a lightness all over his body, and then there was a strong feeling of weightlessness. With a sudden spin, he was thrown heavily to the ground by Li Guoqiang.
“Li Guoqiang!” Liang Xin roared, “Are you crazy?!”
She rushed forward, but was slapped to the ground by the man.
That night, the room was filled with countless cries and curses.Along with the sound of objects smashing, the sky gradually became filled with a layer of white.
It’s dawn.
After Li Guoqiang woke up, he was so frightened that he knelt in front of Liang Xin and heard several huge bangs.
“Xiao Liang, I’m just drunk! I really didn’t know I did such a dirty thing!” he wailed, “I really deserve to die!”
He cried bitterly, slapped himself repeatedly, and swore all kinds of poisonous oaths.
“Please give me another chance!” He burst into tears and there were blood marks on his forehead. “There will be absolutely no next time!”
Liang Xin said nothing.She hugged An Yao tightly in her arms and gently touched the blood-clotted scratches on the toddler’s arm. Her eyes were full of struggle and exhaustion.
The man knelt in front of her and cried sincerely, “Please, Xiaoliang, I can’t live without you…”
An Yao saw her mother let out a long sigh, and finally nodded, gently letting go of the man in front of her.
But this is just the beginning.
After that night, Li Guoqiang seemed to have torn off all disguises and became more and more unscrupulous.He no longer went to work, but stayed at home all day long, shouting and shouting at Liang Xin’an, and said nasty words to Liang Xin’an if he didn’t get his way.In addition, he started to drink heavily. When he was drunk, he broke and yelled, causing no peace at home.
Liang Xin looked visibly haggard.She had many scars on her body, her face was full of sorrow, and she was crying all day long.She hugged the trembling An Yao and finally gathered her courage.
Liang Xin only packed simple luggage and fled quickly while holding An Yao while Li Guoqiang was drunk.They ran so fast that they couldn’t even breathe to keep up, and they tried their best just to escape from hell.
It’s a pity that they were still caught by Li Guoqiang.
The man smelled of alcohol from last night, had an unkempt beard, and had red eyes like an evil spirit.Without saying a word, he knocked Liang Xin to the ground, grabbed the woman’s hair and smashed her to the ground.Cries of pain, begging for mercy, and the muffled sound of falling fists were heard one after another.
“Run? Where can you run?!” Li Guoqiang cursed crazily, “You, a second-married omega with an oil bottle, are nothing if you leave me! You have a life, and you are born to serve others!”
Liang Xin screamed and was thrown to the ground again.
“Mom!” An Yao screamed, “No… no!”
He wanted to rush forward to protect his mother, but was kicked over by Li Guoqiang.The strong kick caused the child to fall onto the cement, causing burning pain all over his face.
He wanted to get up, but the warm blood blurred his vision.
He felt dizzy.
Next to my ears were my mother’s screams begging for mercy, and the men’s unbearable curses. There seemed to be many people surrounding her, and the rustling chatter became much louder, but no one stepped forward to stop her.
It was noon at this moment, and the sun was shining brightly on his body, but An Yao only felt a biting cold.
Who can save us?An Yao thought.Please…someone please save us…
He gradually closed his eyes.
