Chapter 1 — Crow's Mouth Demands Justice
Bamboo horse changed my wish to go to college, my crow's mouth came to crazy fulfillment Bamboo horse changed my wish to go to college, my crow's mouth came to crazy fulfillment When I was seven years old, I first learned that I had a crow's mouth. The neighbor's boy stole my kite, I cried and shouted: "You will fall down." Ten minutes later, he fell from the third floor balcony, breaking his leg. From then on, I never dared to casually open my mouth again. My parents called me unlucky, and everyone they met said I had a gloomy personality and was not liked by others. Tong Le's younger sister likes to imitate my quiet appearance, laughing and calling me a dumb girl. Only my childhood friend Trinh Nghien An treated me well. He will stand in front of me and chase away those who bully me. I thought he at least understood me. Until five minutes before the deadline for registering college preferences ended, Trinh Nghien An personally changed my first preference to the remote vocational school that Tong Le registered for. He didn't look at my shaking hands, just frowned and said: "Tong Tinh Dao, stop acting like you have suffered a great injustice. Le Le is not like you, she is cowardly, is it okay if you go with her?" My mother pulled me back: "With your personality, going to university will only make you lose face. It's better to go to vocational training with Le Le, learn a skill." My father also frowned: "Normally you don't like to talk. I'm not good at communicating with others, so studying medicine may not be suitable. Going to a gentler school is also good for me." Their few light sentences erased twelve years of my studying day and night. Looking at Tong Le's smug eyes as he hid behind Trinh Nghien An, I didn't argue like usual. I just calmly looked at them. After that, he actively used his ability for the first time. …… “Based on what?” I pointed at Trinh Nghien An, my fingertips trembling violently uncontrollably. “Based on what did you change my wish?” Tong Le timidly pulled the corner of Trinh Nghien An's shirt, sticking out half of his head. “Sister, do you not want to go with me?” She bit her lower lip, her voice carrying a cry. “If you really hate me like that, I'd rather not go to school than make you angry. Angry." "Le Le, don't talk nonsense." Trinh Nghien An immediately turned around and gently patted her shoulder. "It's not that you don't want to, you just can't think straight for the moment." Having finished speaking, he looked at my red eyes, but there was only impatience in them. "Tong Tinh Dao, can you understand a little bit? Apologize to Le Le." I clenched my teeth, forcing the bitterness in my eyes back. "I That's not wrong." "You really can't reason." Trinh Nghien An's eyes flashed with disappointment, he held Tong Le's hand and went out. "Auntie, Le Le is not in a good mood, I'll take her out to eat some sweets first." "As for Tinh Dao, you two should advise her more." The door closed. My mother fiercely poked my forehead: "Look at your gloomy appearance like a dead person!" "Nghien An took care of you since childhood just because he found you pitiful, but you still dare to show your attitude towards him?" I was teased by her and took a half step back, suddenly remembering many years ago, when I scraped my knee, this same hand gently lifted my face, heartbroken to the point of red eyes. At that time, my mother said: "Tinh Dao in our family is most afraid of pain. I blow for you and the pain will go away immediately." Dad stood next to me and said in a deep voice: "That's enough, don't make things more unsightly." I raised my head to look at him. When I was a child, I was pushed down by a classmate. My father rushed to school and became angry in front of the teacher for the first time. He said: "My daughter is cowardly, but that doesn't mean anyone can bully her." But now, he just avoided my eyes, his voice tired and shallow. "Everyone just wants the best for her." I remained silent.
Looking at the tightly closed door, my fingertips were cold. The next morning, all my papers were gone. There was a soft laugh outside the door. I raised my head and saw Tong Le leaning against the doorframe, dangling my ID card in her hand. "Are you looking for this?" She wore a brand new white dress, her hair in a bow, and an innocent smile. But in those eyes there was only satisfaction. I rushed forward and raised my hand to take it back. Tong Le seemed startled again, stepping back, his eyes immediately turning red. "Sister, don't..." The next second, my mother rushed in from the living room. "Tong Tinh Dao! What are you going to do?" I froze in place, my fingertips still stopped in mid-air. Tong Le hid behind my mother, sobbing softly. I looked at the documents coming out of her bag, my voice was hoarse. "Give me my ID card." "I have to go to the educational institution." My mother's face darkened. "What are you doing going to the educational institution? Your wishes have been registered, how long do you want to cause trouble?" I said word by word: "That's not my wish." "The school I want to enter is Jiangcheng Medical University, I passed the exam..." The door suddenly opened. Trinh Nghien An walked in carrying strawberry cake. Tong Le immediately jumped into his arms. "Brother Nghien An, have I implicated you?" Trinh Nghien An frowned and looked at me. "Tong Tinh Dao, do you have to make the whole family uneasy?" He didn't give me a chance to explain, giving the cake to Tong Le. "Let's clean up, I'll take you two to buy school supplies." I stood still without moving. "I'm not going." Mom said coldly: "If you don't go, you have to have to." Go.” In the end, they still forced me out of the house. Along the way, Tong Le leaned next to Trinh Nghien An, whispering that he wanted to learn design. Trinh Nghien An patiently listened, occasionally responding. I sat in the corner of the back row, no one looked at me once. Arriving at the shopping center, Trinh Nghien An took Tong Le straight into the electronics store. "Le Le, this computer has the highest configuration, suitable for you." After saying that, he directly swiped the card. Then he took out the latest phone and gave it to her. "Going to school far from home, having a phone will be convenient for communication." Tong Le hugged the computer and phone, smiling sweetly. "Thank you, Nghien An." At this time, Trinh Nghien An looked at me. "Tinh Dao, I studied beauty and hair cutting at vocational school, I don't need such a good computer." "My old phone was repaired and still works." Tong Le held the computer in front of her. me. "Sister, after I finish studying design, will I design a hair salon sign for you?" I didn't say anything, turned around and went into the bookstore next door. I found a complete set of exam review materials for all subjects on the bookshelf and carried it to the counter to pay. "A total of three hundred and eighty yuan." Just as I was about to take the money, a hand suddenly reached out and pulled the book from my lap. Tong Le stood next to her, her smile fading. "Sister, you still haven't accepted your fate?" I raised my eyes to look at her. "Give it back to me." She put the book back on the shelf, lowering her voice. "Since childhood, your achievements have been better than mine, everyone praises you." "But this time, you must come with me." I looked at her as if this was the first time I truly recognized this sister. Behind him came the sound of his parents and Trinh Nghien An talking. Tong Le suddenly leaned over and hit the bookshelf next to her. "You... don't be angry... Ah!" A red mark immediately appeared on her forehead. My mother rushed forward and slapped me in the face. "You still dare to hit your sister?" My face turned to one side, my ears ringing. Trinh Nghien An picked up Tong Le and looked at me coldly. "Tong Tinh Dao, you really disappoint me." I didn't argue. Just go back to the bookshelf and pick up the exam preparation materials. As soon as I turned around, the book in my lap was snatched away by my father. The page is swiped
across his cheek, leaving a thin blood mark. Blood slowly seeped out. I couldn't bear it anymore, I opened my mouth slightly. "A liar will have to swallow a thousand needles." As soon as the words ended, Tong Le's crying suddenly stopped. She suddenly clutched her throat, her face turned pale, she opened her mouth in pain but couldn't make any sound. Immediately after that, her whole body began to tremble, white foam appeared from her mouth. Trinh Nghien An's face changed. "Le Le! What's wrong with you?" His parents were also panicked. "Ambulance! Quickly call an ambulance!" The whole shopping center was in chaos. I bent down to pick up the exam preparation materials from the ground and returned to the payment counter. "Pay." It started to rain outside. I hugged the book and walked into the rain. Three days later, Tong Le was discharged from the hospital. The doctor only said that she ate unclean food and her throat was inflamed with pus. My parents booked the best hotel in Giang Thanh to hold the admission celebration party. The electronic screen outside the door runs large yellow text. 【Congratulations to student Tong Le on successfully passing the exam, his future is wide open.】 To outsiders, they say that Tong Le passed into a college that focuses on practice, with a very high job finding rate. And me. They said I didn't do well in college entrance exams and that I had a lonely personality and could only go with my sister to the same school. Mom threw a gray dress on my bed and coldly ordered: "Change it." "Today is Le Le's happy day. If you dare to cause trouble, don't blame me for not accepting this daughter." I didn't move. Tong Le sat in front of the dressing table, wearing a white princess dress, with a pair of pearl earrings given to her by Trinh Nghien An. Waiting for my mother to go out to answer the phone, she looked at me and smiled sweetly. "Sister, I looked it up yesterday." "Your original wish was the eight-year clinical medicine program of Jiangcheng Medical University. Last year's lowest score was one hundred and twenty points higher than the key university standard score." She tilted her head and looked at me. "This time I got six hundred and ninety-eight points, just enough." "What a pity." The hand that dropped to my side slowly squeezed. c.h.or.t. Tong Le approached, lowering his voice very low. "But the vocational school is also very good." "After you're famous, maybe you can even conveniently design the hair salon sign for me." Footsteps rang out, Tong Le used his old trick again, falling to the ground. As soon as Trinh Nghien An saw her red eyes, he immediately frowned. "Tong Tinh Dao, are you bullying her again?" I looked at him and said word by word: "I didn't do it." His face completely darkened. Immediately after that, he held my wrist tightly and pulled me out. "If you don't understand, then say it clearly in front of everyone." Tong Le called behind him in a low voice: "Mr. Nghien An, don't do that..." He didn't turn his head. The lights in the banquet room were blinding, and the eyes of relatives and classmates all fell on me. Trinh Nghien An's handsome face was cold, without any temperature. "Sorry." I raised my head to look at him. "Based on what?" He squeezed my wrist, his strength was so strong that it seemed like he wanted to crush my bones. "Just because today is Le Le's admission celebration party." "Just because she was wronged, and you continue to cause trouble." During the struggle, the host awkwardly reminded that the party was about to start. My parents quickly stepped forward to reconcile, only then did Trinh Nghien An let go. Around my wrist was a ring of red, painful burning marks. But compared to that pain, the eyes of the people in the banquet room were even colder. After the party started, relatives quickly forgot the previous trouble and surrounded Tong Le, constantly praising him. "Le Le really has a future, after graduating, it will definitely be easy to find a job."
