In fact, Alieen is not the only one who said this in the vige, almost everyone who saw her woulde up with a sentence, Olive has long been used to hearing it, only to think that those people are deliberately mocking themselves, and did not take it to heart. Today, when she heard Tatum’s words, she realized that what those adults said was actually true.
Olive felt the tips of her fingers were tingling, as if the blood in her body had frozen at this moment, and her breathing had be rapid, so she sat on her buttocks on the hospital bed next to her, and only then did she feel better.
Tatum’s face was a little worried, she raised her hand to Olive and then put it down again. As if she was afraid that Olive would fall. This look makes Olive feel a little funny, is this a bted concern?
It’s toote, everything is toote, when she needs it the most can not be given, after theplement is not able to make up. These so-called care, to the current her has no meaning to speak of.
“So … what they said was true.” Olive slowly spoke, joke, really big joke, I actually lived two lifetimes to understand this fact.
Tatum pulled the corner of the quilt wipe the tears in the corner of the eyes, now she is indeed old, her face is covered with the traces of age. Now she looks no different from those kindly old people, but she was never an easy-going winner, it seems that people will die and their words are good.
She choked twice and said: “If my body had not been unable to hold on, I would not have told you this, these words have been held in for so many years, it is time to tell you. Your real mother is very beautiful, you do not look like her, but the light in your eyes, is the same.”
Olive looked into Tatum’s eyes, she just wanted to be a listener, her mind imagining what her real mother could be like, Tatum was one of the most beautiful women in the vige when she was young, and it would take some difficulty to make her jealous.
Tatum’s eyes rolled around and she carefully tried to find a bit of that person’s look on Olive’s face back then, but other than those eyes, it really didn’t look much like anywhere else.
“Hey …” Tatum sighed as she looked out the window at the falling leaves and her thoughts went back to that fall.
“I forget the exact time, but in any case it was an autumn. Your mother came to the vige out of the blue, and no one knew where she came from, nor did they expect her to stay in the vige. But everyone could see that she was from the big city and had a different temperament from us. But she never liked to smile or talk to her neighbors, a beautiful woman with all the mncholy between her eyebrows.”
“This, in turn, made people in the countryside very interested in her, men and women like to gather around her, and everyone was curious as to what would make her give up her original life ande to the countryside and choose to start over.”
“I was also interested in her, but never took the initiative to say anything to her, because I was jealous in my heart. I know that in the big city, maybe I’m not much. But in our countryside, that palm-sized ce, I was known as a flower, and even the matchmakers from the next few viges came to talk to me about marriage, not to mention the few men in the vige.”
“Every day it was either fruit or chickens and ducks, and the threshold of my house was almost ttened by them. But since your mother came, all these men have been hanging around her, as if everyone has forgotten about my existence. I thought to myself, “Why? Is it just because she’s a city girl?”
“Then why didn’t she stay in the city and enjoy herself, but had toe to the country to upset me?”
Tatum said here, a little agitated, grabbed the corner of the quilt in his hand, thinking of those things back then, the heart is very unhappy.
Olive also followed the frown, no wonder Alieen always can not see who is better than himself, after all this is gic genes at work ah.
“You can’t be that hostile to her just because of her looks, can you?” Olive was a little impatient to know what had happened to make Tatum hate so much.
“Yes, naturally there’s something else going on. What’s the use of looking pretty, to put it mildly? She can’t do things. What can a woman who has been pampered in the city do when shees to our poor vige in the middle of nowhere? At that time the vige did not even have a well, drinking water had to go to the back of the mountain spring, not to mention the distance of one kilometer, the bucket of water she could not afford to pick.”
“Any physical work, she can not do. Fortunately, she came to live in your parents’ home before, your father every time to go to the mountains to fetch water, will bring her a bucket, in fact, even without your father that so what, a bunch of men in the vige grabbed to help her do things, just to talk to her one more time. And that’s what makes me feel even worse!”
Tatum’s expression seemed to be steeped in some past memory, and the hatred in her eyes was so deep that Olive couldn’t help but feel that she was very pathetic.
She was consumed by jealousy, tormented over and over again for her whole life, and finally ended up in this situation.
Olive couldn’t help but shake her head as she sighed, “And then what, then what happened?”
Tatum squinted her eyes in thought, her eyes revealing a bit of sorrow: “I’m not going to lie, before she came, I was the most beautiful woman in the vige.”
“I looked decent, people passing by would look at me a few more times, I was smug, and the girls in the vige would secretly be jealous of me. All this made me very happy!”
“But then what? And then …”Content from N?velDr(a)ma.Org.
Speaking of the excitement, Tatum whole person stopped and breathed heavily as if he was going to die.
Just when Olive was a little scared, she fell well on her own: “Until she came to the vige, I did not know what is called a world of difference! I thought I was good-looking, butpared to her, it was not enough!”
“The people in the vige used to look at me a few times, but since she came, they look at her as if they had lost their souls. I, on the other hand, was in a very miserable situation, I used to be star-crossed, but since then I’ve beenpletely left out.”
Even now, Tatum seems to be able to recall that there were people talking behind their backs about how beautiful they both were.
“Where can Tatum bepared to that kind of fairy? I’ll tell you what, she’s not even worthy to lift the shoes of others.” Tatum would hear this kind of talk many times.
How could she stand it after being spoiled for so long? So she became jealous of her and secretly cursed her behind her back.
