Chapter 14 A Prodigal Son Returns

"Then one night you tried to escape but failed and were discovered. After being beaten, both of your legs were shattered and you could no longer stand up, becoming a lifelong disabled person."

"Later, the rumored den was busted by the police, and you were rescued, but your disability was already a fact. Then, over the next two years, your parents passed away one after another, leaving you alone to survive."

"This is your fate from now on."

Yuan Chun said slowly.

"Bullshit! What nonsense are you talking about! You are cursing our family!"

"How could my parents die suddenly when they were fine?"

Li Xiaozui's expression changed drastically, and he slammed the table and shouted angrily.

"Do you really think your parents are in good health? They just haven't told you."

"Your family is already poor. They've spent almost all their savings on fulfilling your dream. Your parents barely eat, relying on steamed buns soaked in water for a single meal. Over time, they've developed severe stomach problems."

"Also, do you know where your tuition for this semester of high school is coming from?"

Yuan Chun said coldly.

"Tuition? Isn't tuition money earned by them?"

Li Xiaozui was a little confused.

"Oh, your parents' savings can't even cover your high school tuition. They had to beg and plead for money to borrow it!"

"When the relative refused to lend the money, your father went to ask the neighbor for help. The neighbor also refused. Your father had no choice but to kneel down in front of the neighbor!"

"A man's knees are made of gold, but your father, a grown man, was willing to kneel before others just to allow you to go to school! And now you're still skipping school and indulging in unrealistic fantasies! Do you think your parents can live much longer? Do you think you're worthy of being a son?"

Yuan Chun shouted loudly.

"No... Impossible! How could this be possible? You're lying to me, aren't you? You're just making this up to scare me so I won't become a star, right?"

Li Xiaozui's face turned pale and he clenched his fists tightly. He didn't dare to believe what Yuan Chun said.

Yuan Chun narrowed his eyes slightly, and a cold light flashed:

"I think you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. If you don't believe me, go look under your parents' pillows. You'll find a surprise."

"I'm going right now! You damn bastard, you cursed my whole family. If nothing else, I'll report and ban your livestream today!"

Li Xiaozui was so angry that he turned around and went to his parents' room.

When I took away my mother's pillow, a stack of bills appeared in front of me.

Most of them were prescriptions for stomach ailments, and there was also an IOU...

At this moment, Li Xiaozui was completely dumbfounded, and his hands dropped down helplessly.

All of this is actually true...

Looking at the densely packed drug names on the prescription, Li Xiaozui suddenly felt confused.

He was obsessed with becoming a star and had no interest in anything around him. He had no idea that his parents were suffering from such a serious illness.

Looking at the IOU again, Li Xiaozui suddenly recalled his father's lonely figure kneeling down in tears. He must have completely abandoned his dignity at that moment...

At this moment, the barrage of bullets exploded instantly.

"Holy crap! The master was right! There really is a prescription and an IOU! He even figured out where to put them!"

"This kid is such a jerk! His parents are in such a state and he's still obsessed with his dream of becoming a star! Will he only repent when his parents die?"

"Ah, a grown man is willing to kneel down for his livelihood and his children's tuition. What courage does that take! Li Xiaozui, you are really heartless!"

"Ah, in the past, when kids were asked what they wanted to be when they grew up, they would say scientists, teachers, police officers, but now when kids are asked, they all say they want to be celebrities, do live streaming, or be game streamers. Times have changed."

"I hope this kid will turn back soon. He still has a chance to repent. The master has already pointed out his future path. As long as he's not stupid, he should know what to do!"

......

At this time, Li Xiaozui's mind was full of thoughts about his parents dying in a few years. He was scared, he was really scared.

Although he was very rebellious, he had a small quarrel with his parents every three days and a big quarrel every five days over becoming a star, and even said something mean like he wanted to break off relations with them.

But deep down he still loves his parents and cannot accept the fact that they leave him!

If this really happened, then Li Xiaozui would be a complete bastard and an unforgivable sinner!

"No... No... This can't go on. I won't allow this to happen! Absolutely not!"

"Master, please save me, save my parents! I'll agree to any condition you give me! I can't just watch my parents die and do nothing. Master, please save us!"

Li Xiaozui knelt down on the ground without hesitation, and his head banged against the ground repeatedly.

"The person you should be begging for help now should not be me, but yourself."

"Why did all this happen? Where is the source of all this? Don't you know?"

Yuan Chun said lightly.

"The source? The source... is me. I ignored everyone's advice and wanted to be a star... That's what led to the series of events that followed!"

Li Xiaozui was stunned and spoke quickly.

"It's good that you know it, so do you need me to teach you what to do next?"

Yuan Chun continued.

"I'm never going to think about becoming a celebrity again! I'm never going to participate in any talent shows again. I've completely given up on this thought!"

"Well, what else?"

"And I will never skip classes again! I will study hard in the future! I will help them with farm work when I have free time! I will get into college and repay my parents!"

Yuan Chun clenched his fists and said firmly.

Yuan Chun nodded and smiled.

Yuan Chun could tell from Li Xiaozui's eyes that he was truly repentant and not just saying it.

From this moment on, Yuan Chun saw that Li Xiaozui's life trajectory had completely changed.

From now on, Li Xiaozui will study hard as he said, and finally successfully passed the entrance examination to a university in another place.

Because he was no longer obsessed with being a star, his parents were naturally very relieved. As the saying goes, a good mood is the best medicine. Slowly, his parents' illnesses began to heal.

A few years later, Li Xiaozui graduated from university and successfully got a job in a high-paying company. Although there were some setbacks in his career, they were not serious.

Afterwards, Li Xiaozui bought a house in the city and brought his parents over. His family was happy and he was free from illness. This was already a very good fate for him.

......

"Remember what you said. The fate of your family depends on you alone. Do you understand?"

Yuan Chun spoke.

"Master, I understand, I understand! I will definitely do as I'm told. Will my parents still die?"

Li Xiaozui asked fearfully.
