A bowl of noodles turned cold and stiff.
Rong Xianning sat on the sofa for the whole afternoon, and night fell quietly.
There was no light in the room, and the boundless darkness swallowed up everything.
Only a ray of dim light from the waning moon was left, casting a desolate shadow on the lonely figure on the sofa.
The screen of the mobile phone on the ground lit up and then went out, and then lit up again, over and over again without stopping.
Finally, the phone ran out of battery and fell into complete silence in the night.
He curled up on the sofa, hugged himself, and fell asleep in the endless darkness.
It was as if I had had a bizarre dream, about the happy childhood I spent with my grandmother, but everything came to an abrupt end in the fire.
He finally saw his parents, but they didn't care about his injuries, nor did they shed a tear for their grandmother's tragic death. Instead, they demanded a huge amount of compensation from the government, revealing their greedy faces.
The compensation they received was lower than expected, and they had no qualms about cursing at his bedside. Looking at such a couple of parents, he felt extremely strange and had an indescribable sadness in his heart.
His parents took him away from Qingzhou and returned to his father's hometown, Yunzhou.
However, everything was just the beginning of the nightmare.
My father was addicted to gambling. He spent all the compensation he got from my grandmother and was left with a lot of debts. When he was in elementary school, he was often blocked at the door of his house by debt collectors, who threatened him to tell them his father's whereabouts.
My mother was even more worrying. When my father was hiding from his debts outside, she would drink at home and bring all kinds of men home.
"Your son is still next door. Is that really okay?"
"What's the problem? He's a fool. It's as if he has no eyes..."
All kinds of obscene words came into my ears through the poorly soundproofed walls.
The young boy broke down time and time again, and recovered on his own time and time again. He tried skipping school, running away from home, and even spent a week under a bridge, but nothing happened.
To the couple, whether he left or not made no difference at all.
A police officer on duty found him, sent him home, and educated his mother to treat her child well.
As soon as the police left, she closed the door, picked up the feather duster in the corner and hit him with it.
"You're so good. You've already run away from home, and you're so arrogant that you asked the police to send you back. What? You want the police to teach me a lesson? Who gave you the courage to do that?..."
The feather duster hit his body and it hurt, but he stood there motionless and didn't shed a tear.
Seeing his stubborn look, the woman became even more furious and hit him with the feather duster in her hand without mercy.
The woman was tired of smoking, so she threw down the feather duster and lit a cigarette.
The room was filled with smoke, which choked him and made him cough up tears.
The woman sneered at him and said, "So you are not incapable of crying." "Am I your biological child?"
His sudden question stunned the woman, and the cigarette in her hand began to tremble slightly.
His eyes were fixed on the woman's face. When the woman realized what was happening, her face turned pale and blue. "What nonsense are you talking about? Have you watched too many melodramatic TV dramas and imagined that you are a descendant of a wealthy family who has been stranded away from home? Wake up, you are my, Zhou Rong's, biological child. You will never escape from my grasp in this life."
The woman's hideous face filled his nightmares thereafter.
He lowered his head in silence, as if accepting the manipulation of fate.
"I'm hungry, go and make me something to eat."
He was not much taller than the stove, so he could only move a stool and stand on it to cook. When the food was done, he would bring it to Zhou Rong.
Before I had even taken two bites of my meal, someone came banging on the door. The intense sound of banging on the door made me subconsciously nervous.
Zhou Rong pretended not to hear, showing the attitude of a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water.
Zhou Rong was forced by these debt collectors to develop anti-reconnaissance skills. If she met a creditor who was one step higher than her, she would drag him along, cry and act pitiful, and curse Rong Yuhe for being so unscrupulous as to leave them, an orphan and a widow, with a huge debt, and then run away with her mistress. She and her son were forced to live, and they had to either jump off the building or drink a bottle of rat poison to die early and be reborn.
The powerful are afraid of those who are willing to risk their lives. Those debt collectors are also afraid when they see that this woman is really risking her life, so they can only leave in shame.
There were also some tough guys who didn't buy into this and they would be severely beaten.
This was his childhood, filled with blood, violence, oppression, displacement and turmoil.
At the beginning, he would often complain about the unfairness of fate. Why did he become Zhou Rong and Rong Yuhe's child? He just wanted a quiet environment to grow up. Why was it so difficult?
Later, after experiencing more, he no longer complained about the world, because it was useless. It was better to try hard to live every day well. He studied hard and was always at the top of the grade list. He made a vow in his heart that he would get into university, leave Yunzhou, and leave this terrible parents and family.
Fate took a turn for the better when he met Ding Meng.
Ding Meng was willing to take him away from Yunzhou. He knew what it would cost to leave with her, but by then he had been overwhelmed by life and family, and he desperately needed to grab a life-saving straw.
But when he saw his parents spend five million without hesitation to buy out his lifelong freedom, he still felt heartbroken.
It was also at that moment that his expectations for his parents were completely shattered to ashes.
On the day he left with Ding Meng, he looked at the couple who were immersed in surprise and said calmly: "Five million bought out my life. From now on, I am no longer your son."
Zhou Rong said angrily, "What are you talking about? Why do you still want to sever ties with us? Don't you know who is closer to you, your father, or that Mr. Ding? Blood is thicker than water, and even if your bones are broken, they still connect you. Follow Mr. Ding well, and when you become a big star in the future, your father and I are counting on you to provide for us in our old age."
At that moment he knew that he would never be able to get rid of these two vampires in his lifetime.
They haunted him throughout his life like a leech, until they became his nightmare.
The night was long and torturous. The boy curled up on the sofa, hugging himself tightly.
Tears fell silently as he struggled in the nightmare, like this fate that he could not escape. (End of this chapter)
