Jiang Tang nodded: "You do have a brother."
Wang Qi was almost devastated: "Master, just because my health is better than my brother's, they sold me out?"
"That's right, because they think you're the one who robbed your brother of his nutrients. That's why your brother's health isn't as good as yours. You're well-behaved and easy to raise, so they think you'll survive no matter where you go."
"Your brother is in poor health. If he leaves them, they can't guarantee that he will survive. Coincidentally, they also can't afford to raise two children, so they chose to sell you."
Wang Qi burst into tears. Just because he was well-behaved and in good health, he deserved to be sold by his parents?
[This is the saying that the crying child gets the milk, and the sensible ones will never be liked. It’s like I saw myself.]
Your parents had no choice. If they didn't sell you, you and your brother could only support one child. They couldn't let a child die. Please be more understanding of your parents; they were forced to do so.
"You're not Wang Qi's family, are you? How dare you say such things? It's so frustrating, your mom is helpless! If they truly felt any guilt towards this child, then when they saw the news about Wang Qi's search for his family, they should have shown up earlier to reunite with him and take him home, instead of hiding behind him and watching him search for them like a headless chicken!"
Do you know why they didn't dare show up? Because they knew they were breaking the law. They knew that if they recognized Wang Qi, their past would eventually be exposed. Believe it or not, that family would be secretly blaming Wang Qi!
Jiang Tang continued, "After you were sold, you were sold several times and finally settled down with the adoptive parents who raised you."
"Your adoptive parents treated you very badly. By chance, you unexpectedly learned that you were not their child, but that they had bought you from outside. Since then, you longed for parental love and have been thinking about growing up quickly to find your biological parents."
Wang Qi wiped away his tears and continued speaking, "That's right. What I didn't expect was that my adoptive parents would die unexpectedly two years ago."
"Their relatives all knew that I was not their child. After my adoptive parents passed away, they took over the house and property of my adoptive parents and kicked me out."
"I thought it would take a long time to escape from that family, but I didn't expect to leave in that way."
"To be honest, I'm very happy that I can finally go find my parents."
A faint smile appeared on Wang Qi's sad and resolute face. "I pick up trash to eat, pick up cardboard and bottles to sell. As long as I can make money, I will do it."
"It was really hard at the beginning. The money I earned was not enough for food. I couldn't compete with those who picked up cardboard and bottles. I was young and couldn't find a job. I couldn't even beg for food. I really had no future."
"I spent a year picking up trash before I bought my first mobile phone. I learned how to record videos looking for my relatives, over and over again. I can't even remember how many videos I posted."
"Luckily, in the past two months, I finally attracted the attention of the government and the public. I became famous, and I became the target of a lot of attention and help, but also the target of a lot of abuse..."
Wang Qi calmed down as he spoke. He laughed at himself and said, "Actually, I don't care if people scold me or misunderstand me. I just want to go back home."
"But I didn't expect that I would never be able to return to that home. A child sold by his parents, even if he returned, his parents wouldn't like him, right?"
Wang Qi's words seemed to be asking himself, but also seemed to be asking the world.
Although everyone knew about Wang Qi’s troubled life experience a long time ago, Wang Qi’s despairing expression still made netizens feel worried.
[What does it matter if they like it or not? We just like and support you.]
Those who scold you are mentally ill. Just ignore them. There are more people who support and help you. It's okay.
[Now that you know your own life story, do you still want to go back? ]
Wang Qi opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say. His heart was already in a mess.
Jiang Tang put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Wang Qi: "I haven't finished speaking yet. Wait until I finish speaking before you decide whether to go back."
Wang Qi pursed his lips and nodded.
"Your biological father is Zhang Aimin, your biological mother is Liu Juan, and your brother is Zhang Jun. Your current address is Xiaoyu Town, Tianhe City."
"In fact, if you didn't come to my live broadcast room, they would come to you after a while."
Wang Qi and netizens were a little surprised. Why would those two people come to their door?
Jiang Tang didn't pay attention to everyone's comments, she said lightly.
"After they found you, they lied to you and said you were abducted. You were so happy that your parents had come looking for you that you ignored their lame excuse and happily went home with them."
"After you returned, you enjoyed a good life for a few days, but your parents began to reveal to you, intentionally or unintentionally, that your brother had excellent grades but was frail and needed daily medication to maintain his health. They didn't earn much money and were worried they couldn't afford to send your brother to a good university or give him a good life."
"You must be feeling very sad listening to this. You really cherish this belated family affection, and you also really like that brother who seems stronger and better than you."
"You haven't even finished elementary school yet, so going to school would be a waste of money. It would be better for your family to support your brother through school and earn money to support his health."
"So your parents want you to continue playing the victim to gain sympathy from netizens, and then sell products to make money."
"But you decided long ago that you would no longer be in the public eye after your parents arrived, so you refused and chose to work at a construction site carrying bricks to earn money."
"Every time you earn money, you give most of it to your parents. Your parents pressure you step by step, which results in your subsequent salary cards ending up in your parents' hands. You become their tool to make money."
"You know this is wrong, but you really want to have a family, so you don't take it to heart."
"You're also very hardworking, making more and more money. Your parents used your money to send your brother to a good university, bought him a house, and found him a wife. And you..."
Wang Qi looked at Jiang Tang helplessly. What happened to him?
Jiang Tang sighed: "And you didn't have your own house until you were thirty, and you couldn't get married, and you were all alone."
"When you were forty, you finally realized that you were sold by your parents. Your brother's health had long since recovered and he didn't need any medicine or maintenance. They brought you back just to squeeze out your value and make money for them."
"You are so heartbroken and devastated that you can't do anything to hurt others. You have no choice but to leave and live your life alone."
Wang Qi laughed at himself. It turned out that he was still kind in the end. Is this good or bad?
