My 'Foolish' Mom and Our Escape from the Mountains

share time: 2026-01-15 06:01:25

12-year-old Lin Xiaoman lived as a 'joke' in Daqing Mountain with her 'foolish mom'—the woman couldn’t count, always sold wild veggies cheaper than others, and only smiled when kids threw stones at her. But when the village chief brought a lame man from the next village to 'buy' Xiaoman as his wife, the 'foolish mom' suddenly changed: she grabbed a kitchen knife to block the door, stuffed three years’ egg-selling money into Xiaoman’s pocket, and carried her into the night, fleeing the mountains. The rainstorm washed away the path; she slipped down a slope but held Xiaoman tightly in her arms. Through tears, Xiaoman pulled out something from her mom’s pocket—a crumpled ID card (name: Li Zhaodi, with bright eyes in the photo) and a pencil-written note: 'Xiaoman must go to the county high school, must see a train.' Turns out her mom’s 'foolishness' was ten years of silent, desperate tenderness.
