FBH Chapter 37

Family disharmony is a disaster.

The people who created my family disaster are my parents.

And whenever I saw them arguing, even fighting, I could only stand by helplessly, unable to help in any way, because neither of them would listen to mypersuasion.

I became a victim of this unhappy family.

But before, they weren’t like this. At that time, they got along harmoniously. Although they would inevitably argue a few words sometimes, they would soon be reconciled as before. In my memory, my father recited his clumsy love poems written for my mother, my mother prepared hot water for my father who had been busy outside all day, my father took my mother to the cinema on Valentine’s Day, and my mother ordered a cream cake for my father on his birthday.

My mother, Lü Yuchan, is one meter sixty-seven tall, healthy and slender, with fair and shiny skin, both beautiful and charming. Although she is already thirty-seven years old, she looks like she is in her thirties because she takes good care of herself. I suspect that many men have been infatuated with her beauty. And my father, Xiong Zhiyang, is one meter sixty-five tall, with high cheekbones, a low nose bridge, and is forty-three years old, with an unremarkable appearance.

The trigger for the conflict started because of a middle-aged man named Li Yuehua.

In fact, I didn’t plan to tell my father about my mother’s emotional entanglement with Li Yuehua, because everyone has their own secrets, and I think it is shameful to be a snitch, it is the act of a petty person.

The first time my father saw my mother with Li Yuehua was on a sunny afternoon in early spring.

Your father owns a decoration company, and he can indeed earn money, earning four or five hundred thousand a year without any problem.

When she said these words, she was focused and her eyebrows were flying, as if a grand blueprint for her career was slowly unfolding before her eyes, and she was strategizing and winning thousands of miles away while talking and laughing.

Every night before going to bed, she would lie flat on the ** and put two eye masks composed of non-woven fabric and hydrogel ingredients on her eyelids, and her confidence never faded.

I have never seen my mother so “stubborn” about other things. I suspect that her infatuation with the product has reached the point of being incurable. In addition, she also asked me to help her promote eye patches to my classmates. She probably thought that I refused to use them, so naturally I couldn’t “testify in person” to sell the product.

Later, I found that there were some “Seahorse Pills”, “Deer Whip Cream”, and “Ginseng Maca Pills” health products in my father’s room. In addition, he also had some changes in his diet – he often stir-fried some pig kidneys and chives to eat.

Before, I had always believed that although my parents’ relationship inevitably hadbumps, there would not be any seriouscontradictions that would destroy their relationship.

Until one day, a family earthquake descended without warning and instantly turned into rubble, I realized that I had been living in an “ivory tower” all along.

When my mother heard this, she quickly explained that she was only friends with him, that nothing had happened between them, and that others were just gossiping, so he shouldn’t listen to those rumors.

My mother admitted that Li Yuehua was her ex-boyfriend, but firmly denied that she had done anything that violated public order and good customs, because both parties had their own families.

But my father insisted that there were serious moral problems between them and demanded that she write a guarantee that she would not meet him in the future. When my mother was pushed to the limit, she threw a nail clipper at my father, and my father rushed over and slapped her in the face.

Soon, the two of them were tearing and biting at each other like mad dogs, cursing each other’s mothers.

This was the first time I had seen them physically fight.

So, I quickly hid in the kitchen, looking through the frosted glass printed with floral patterns, I saw two blurry figures fighting together. The trust system between my parents had collapsed, and my heart felt like a piece of glass that had fallen from a height of ten meters and shattered into a million pieces. I realized that this family was like an out-of-control train, rushing towards an unpredictable abyss.

The result of the parents’ mutual beatings was: my mother’s mouth and nose were bleeding non-stop, and she couldn’t stop it with her hands; my father also had a bloody scratch on his face.

After the storm, I took a dry towel from the washroom and walked to my mother’s side to hand it to her. Unexpectedly, she slapped the back of my hand hard with her blood-stained hand. The towel fell on the ground, stained with a few drops of my mother’s blood. I pulled my hand back as if electrocuted, and the muscles on the back of my hand were numb and painful.

She was like an irritable lioness, glaring at you and shouting, “Go away, I don’t need you!”

I looked at her blankly, not knowing what to do.

Her eyes were filled with tears, but she seemed to bebearing it and not letting them fall. After a while, she pulled out a tissue to cover her mouth and nose.

I walked into my bedroom, lost and confused, looking at the sky gradually darkening through the half-open window. What was also darkening was my heart at this moment.

“Little stutterer, do you know that your mother has awild man outside?”

“Ah! H-Has your mother g-got a wild man?”

“Zhang Jun said that he saw a man put his arm around his mother’s waist, so intimately, it can’t be fake.”

“Men who cheat are the most selfish, why don’t they die!”

“My mother never cheated!”

“……”

After only a few steps, you heard theunrestrained laughter behind you. You bit your lips tightly and tried toshield thosehideous voices with your mind.

I hid in a dark corner, my fingernails deeplypinched into my palms, my eyes filled with tears, and the corners of my mouth trembled uncontrollably, but I tried to control myself from crying out.

Why is theredeceit,betrayal, andbullying in this world?

Why do you have aphysical defect from birth?

Why were you born into such a terrible family?

Why doesn’t God give you the courage and strength toeliminate evil?
