This story is fictional, and if there are similarities, it is purely coincidental!
I still remember when I was a child, whenever I wrote an essay in class, I would inevitably write something about "my grandmother" and so on, but unfortunately at this time, I would often hand in a blank paper.
For this reason, the teacher always sighs sadly, after all, the teachers know that I am a very well-behaved student in school on weekdays, and I am not among the best in the exam, not to mention that I am among the best in character and learning, but also stable in the middle and upper reaches. It's just strange that whenever I encounter this kind of topic, I always hand in a blank paper.

The teacher tried to communicate this problem with my parents several times, but unfortunately my parents were always busy with part-time jobs, so they didn't care, and every time they encountered this incident, they always scolded me a few words and then left it behind, so the teacher could only look at me and sigh.
As for why I am so resistant to this topic, many people can guess a point or two.

When I was young, my parents worked in the county, my father was a construction site worker, so he was not at home all the year round, and my mother worked in a factory in the county, although she could come back to see me in about a week or two, but she couldn't care about me, so when I can remember, I basically spent it at my grandmother's house.
It's just that in my memory, although my grandmother didn't abuse me, she also ignored me, and when I came home from school every day, there were often only some cold leftovers and half a bowl of porridge waiting for me.

Also living at my grandmother's house, there is my uncle's cousin Li Hongzhu, unlike me, her food and clothing are always much better than mine. And she seems to be born with me not to deal with, since childhood, the two of us have hardly lived peacefully, as long as she is there, my things will always be lost inexplicably, or appear in some corners, and when I appear, it has been scrapped.

The reason why I say that grandma doesn't seem to be patriarchal is because my cousin treats her much better at her house than I do, and she always cooks her the best meals and smiles at her only kindly.
But I didn't care about these at first, because Li Hongzhu's academic Xi grades were far inferior to mine, and I didn't bother to compete with her. In addition, I was too young in the past, and many insignificant grievances have long been forgotten.

But the reason why I don't want to mention my grandmother comes back to my seventh birthday. Although my parents didn't take care of me much, they didn't treat me much materially, so my mother went to the town early that day to buy a roast chicken, and asked a co-worker who had taken a leave of absence to come home and let him drop by and bring it to me.

The worker had already delivered it at noon, and with my mother's instructions, I told my grandmother that the child must be fed well.
But when I got home from school, all I saw was a small half of the roast chicken and a small bowl of noodles that had been eaten. I was a little stunned when I saw the roast chicken, but I thought it had nothing to do with me, so I picked up the noodles and ate them.

Unexpectedly, my grandmother told me coldly to let me eat some roast chicken, and then finish the noodles, and by the way, she also warned me that I must not move the chicken leg that I kept, because it was for my cousin.
Even though there was no meat left after the drumsticks were removed, I happily accepted the offer and spent my seventh birthday without knowing the origin of the chicken.

A week later, my mother came home from the factory and happily asked me how my birthday was and if the roast chicken she bought for me was delicious.
At this moment, I was stunned for a moment, and then I began to cry bitterly, and when I heard what happened, my mother, who had always thought that I was living a good life, suddenly became annoyed.

She had always been spicy, so she went to her grandmother's house and made a fuss, and the next day, the whole village spread the news, and my mother almost smashed the house for a roast chicken.
Not long after that, my mother found me a new elementary school in the town, I don't know how much she had to do with it, but I know that during that time my mother was busy almost without touching the ground, and after that, my family almost cut off contact with my grandmother's house.

Time passed, I also quickly promoted to high school, about to enter the threshold of the college entrance examination, over the years, I have been working hard to Xi, my grades are also in the forefront of the school, occasionally I will hear the news of my cousin Li Hongzhu, but on the contrary to me, she has always loved to play, so the grades have not been good even in her school that is not very good.

But I didn't bother to care about other people's affairs, I just wanted to study hard and Xi stay away from this place completely.
The time for the college entrance examination finally came, my nervous hands were shaking on this day, and two days later, I walked out of the examination room, and my heart was almost half cold at this moment, because I found that I might have failed the exam.

After the answers, I quickly estimated my score, yes, I failed the exam, only a little bit away from the undergraduate line, and I could only barely get into a junior college.
After crying for a few days, I was forced to accept this reality, decided to go to college, and found a part-time job during the holidays to start working.

But at the same time, I also heard that Li Hongzhu didn't know most of the questions, and after the college entrance examination was over, she was beaten by her parents and asked her to work first in a nearby factory. When I heard the news, I just smiled and went back to work, waiting for the acceptance letter to arrive.
Two months later, almost all the students went to the school to report, but I didn't receive the admission letter for a long time, and even my cousin Li Hongzhu was admitted to the junior college I applied for at that time and went to school happily.

My brain was buzzing for a moment, how could it be? According to my grades, I should have been able to go to a junior college? Originally, I wanted to repeat my studies, but there was inevitably some gossip in the village, so I went to work in a restaurant in the county seat in a fit of anger.
While working at the restaurant, I met a man named Zhao Xingwen, who was dark-skinned but had a beautiful smile, and according to his friends, his father was the director of a nearby coal mine and his mother was the director of a textile factory in the town.

Perhaps because he and I used to talk so well at the hotel, we soon got together, and soon after, he and I went home to meet my parents, and his family was quite happy with me, saying that I was a down-to-earth child, so we soon got married.
On the day of the wedding, Li Hongzhu and her grandmother also came, and after a long time of not seeing each other, Li Hongzhu's face became more and more mean, and her grandmother also followed her to be angry with me, saying that I had a lot of money and other unclean words.

On the day of the wedding, I didn't want to deal with them, but these words were really disgusting, so my mother and I couldn't bear to kick them out, and later heard that they were driven away, and spread some rumors in the village, scolding me for being unfilial.
My husband later found out about my experience and reassured me that it was okay. After the marriage, the days were soon prosperous, and I was also arranged to work in the textile factory, because of the good work, I soon became a small management in the textile factory, because of the kindness, so the workers also loved to chat with me.

Li Hongzhu and my grandmother have disappeared from my life since the wedding, I didn't expect to see her again, and it has been more than ten years since I saw her again, she actually knelt down for me, hoping to use my documents to go through some formalities so that I could prepare for retirement.
Hearing what she said, my brain exploded in an instant, and all the unwillingness and doubts when I was young had an answer, Li Hongzhu relied on the relationship back then to replace my school status, I should have thought of it.

Seeing that she was begging me now, my head still hurt, and my husband came out of the back room, pushed her out of the door, and told her in a cold voice that it was impossible at all.
Later, Li Hongzhu came to make trouble a few times, without exception, we blocked back, I heard that she was replaced later, and she couldn't stay in the factory at that time, so she had to go home in disgrace.

And although I still regret what happened back then, it has passed, and there is no way to make up for it, not to mention that my life is not bad now.
Some time ago, the director of the textile factory came to me and told me that because my work has been good all these years, after I retire in two years, I can get a pension of 10,000 yuan a month. As for other things, after all these years, let it dissipate with the wind.
