Chapter 790 Compromise (3)_1
"Tie Tou, it’s all Mother’s fault, Mother shouldn’t have hit you so hard, Mother shouldn’t have threatened you with a knife, as long as you’re willing to wake up, Mother will never hit you or threaten you again, please wake up, wake up, wuu wuu—"
Hearing Wu’s cries of remorse, Mo Yan sighed deeply.
One could not blame Aunt Wu for being cruel, Tie Tou was her son, and it must have been unbearable for her to see him change like this; Brother Tie Tou was even more innocent, merely for falling in love with a girl whose status was not that respected, he had to suffer harm from his closest relatives; could one blame Liu Qingqing? No matter what one’s status is, there is no wrong in liking someone!
If one must find fault, then it could only be attributed to society’s view, which couldn’t accommodate the unequal status of the love between Tie Tou and Liu Qingqing.
Lixiu stood there staring blankly at the lifeless Tie Tou lying on the bed, their fate inadvertently stirring memories of her own dark days. Rejected and marginalized, with no way out, she was deceived and sold to a secret brothel, her status even more despised than Miss Liu’s, and had it not been for the man who gave her hope, she likely would have dashed her own life away long ago.
Yet the man who didn’t care about her past was now dead! Did a woman with a disgraceful history have to carry that heavy burden for life, forever disqualified from happiness?
Lixiu didn’t understand, but she sincerely hoped that Tie Tou could pull through. As long as one was alive, there was always hope, wasn’t there?
