Li Mu was sent to her grandmother by her parents from a very young age, and her parents were typical business people, busy with work, and had little time to take care of Li Mu's life, so when Li Mu was five years old, she was sent to the same person's grandmother.
Within a few months, her parents divorced because of a bad relationship, Li Mu became a drag again, her parents did not want her, of course, grandma did not want, during that time, Li Mu often heard grandma call her parents:
"When you were going to impulsively adopt a child, are you ready for me to help you clean up the mess?!"
"You quickly discussed and took her away for me, I have to end up with an old man, don't throw me these messes!"
But even if Grandma was so angry, her parents still didn't do anything, and then the two would give her some money every month, and Grandma shut up and reduced the number of phone calls.
Li Mu has always remembered that she was adopted, and the five words "you are adopted" have become the mantra of her grandmother from the age of six, and she hopes that Li Mu can understand something and not become a burden on her way to old-age care.
Li Mu has been very obedient since he was a child, his grandmother is old, her thinking is feudal, and she has always asked Li Mu to obey his words, And Li Mu will resist at first, but after each resistance, he will usher in a severe beating, and if he fights more, he will naturally know that he is well-behaved and does not struggle. Grandma likes to play mahjong, always running in the mahjong hall, after she was ten years old, she began to learn to cook her own food, and will also bring food to the mahjong hall.
Grandma in the mahjong hall is particularly gentle, always looking at her with pity, praising her intelligence, Grandma's card friends often praise her, not only good grades but also cooking, not at all like a ten-year-old child, will also praise Grandma, saying that there are few people in the world like her, who are so good to their adopted granddaughters.
Grandma is happy, and when Grandma wins money, she will also get a few dollars to buy some snacks at the shop.
In this way, the "adopted" Li Mu spent his childhood.

When Li Mu was in the third year of junior high school, his grandmother died, Li Mu knelt in front of the spiritual hall without crying, she even wanted to laugh, a group of relatives looked at Li Mu with a cold face, and kept saying that Li Mu was cold-hearted, he was an unfamiliar wolf cub, Li Mu didn't care, he felt that he was liberated.
Mom took her with her to live with her, but by then she had remarried and had a younger brother, six years younger than her, very small and small, but very naughty and mischievous.
After going to high school, she finally started boarding life, and would only come home on weekends, and the three members of the family would wait for her to come home and cook.
"Li Mu, tomorrow my classmates are coming, you go to help us buy vegetables and cook." Her brother instructed her, her nostrils facing the sky, the corners of her mouth hanging with disdain, and she looked as if she were watching a nanny.
"Tomorrow I'm going back to school for evening study, maybe..."
Li Mu is less likely to refuse other people's offers, because she is afraid that she will be thrown out, she can't be thrown out, she has to finish high school.
"Don't say that some of these are not, if you don't help me cook, I will tell my parents, let them not give you tuition, then you can't even afford to study, and you will go to a bullshit night self-study!" 」
What the younger brother said made sense, he pushed Li Mu word by word, Li Mu looked at him standing in front of him, much taller than himself, and there was no other emotion in his heart except fear.
In the evening, my brother and classmates had a party at home, and Li Mu listened to them upstairs, sitting expressionlessly at the table, and from time to time there was ridicule of himself.
"Adopted"
"Babysitter"
"Nobody wants it"
……
All kinds of words kept on hearing, And Li Mu buried himself in the quilt, tears flowing into the pillow.

The next morning, Li Mu was dragged from bed by his mother and slapped hard.
"What are you doing buying wine for your brother?!" He doesn't understand things, don't you understand things?! "Mother's voice is sharp, her tone is full of accusations, and she angrily shakes Li Mu's confused body." Well now, your brother is hospitalized for alcoholism! If he has something three long and two short, you will wait for me! "
Li Mu is sober, alcohol poisoning?! But they told her to buy the wine!
"They asked me to buy the wine, I said it, and they didn't listen..."
"Don't tell me this, put on your clothes and follow me to the hospital!" If something happens to your brother, you and your uncle will ask! "
Rushed to the hospital, after the rescue, the brother was not a big deal, but Li Mu was asked to work as a nanny in the hospital for four or five days.
After his brother was discharged from the hospital, Li Mu returned to school and was called to the office by the class teacher, because he missed class for no reason, he was remembered for a big mistake, and the scholarship was gone.
The class teacher said that he had called Li Mu's mother, and what her mother said was that Li Mu was ready to take a break from school, so it didn't matter...
Li Mu's classroom is on the top floor, and she goes up step by step...
She didn't understand why life was so hard, and what she thought was a hand of redemption had become an abyss one after another...
She can't seem to wait for the days of freedom, she can't stay up until the time when the days get better...
