In his previous life, Wang Qian did not hesitate to abandon his family and children to escape the cage of the countryside, not returning for ten years.
However, for the rest of his life, he l...
Over time, everyone in the village knew he was a thief. Every time they saw him, they would either give him a good scolding or stay away from him as much as possible, treating him like a jinx.
From then on, the villagers treated the two brothers like thieves whenever they saw them.
On one occasion, several adults from the village beat the two brothers up.
He fought desperately to protect his younger brother.
As a result, thanks to his strong physique, he actually defeated three people who were older than him.
Although he himself was covered in injuries in the end, seeing his younger brother Xiao Jie crying helplessly, he would force himself to stand up every time he was knocked down, as if he couldn't bear to watch his brother being bullied as long as he had a breath left.
With this perseverance and ruthlessness, he prevented his younger brother, Xiao Jie, from starving to death.
Even if he were to bear the stigma of being a thief and be despised by the entire village, he would not hesitate.
Later, his younger brother, Xiao Jie, was nine years old and of school age.
He didn't really expect to go to school; he just wanted to make sure his younger brother didn't starve.
But every time his younger brother, Xiao Jie, sees his peers going to school, his face is filled with envy.
On several occasions, he even secretly saw Xiao Jie practicing writing on the ground with a twig.
Every time he walked by, Xiao Jie would wipe the words off the ground with the sole of his foot and then say to him with a smile, "What's so great about studying? It can't put food on the table, right, brother?"
Every time he saw his younger brother Xiao Jie pretending to be indifferent, his heart ached as if it were being stabbed with a knife.
Until one day, he sneaked into a wealthy family's house and saw a pile of pocket money in the cupboard. For the first time, he not only stole food but also stole money from other people's homes.
He stole ten dollars from that pile of loose change.
Back then, the registration fee for first grade was only six yuan and fifty cents.
With that ten yuan, he finally took his younger brother, Xiao Jie, to school to register.
What made him extremely gratified was that his younger brother, Xiao Jie, had exceptionally good grades.
He always ranked first in the class in every exam.
However, his good fortune didn't last long. When he was in second grade, he tried everything he could, but not only did he fail to steal any money, he was also arrested and taken to the police station several times.
If he weren't a minor, he would have been sent to a detention center long ago.
The registration deadline is fast approaching.
His younger brother, Xiao Jie, seemed to sense his predicament and said to him with a smile, "Brother, actually I don't want to study at all. Studying is tiring. I have to do homework every day and memorize texts. I don't want to study."
