Chapter 114 Ruthless Complaints
Xiao Zheyu's home is in Yancheng, which is several cities away from Fucheng.
When Xiao Zeyu knew he could go home, he was so happy as a fool that he was willing to spend all his fortune to buy a ticket back to Yancheng. How could Yancheng not have his family?
Xia Xiaoman said, "If you don't want to talk about it, forget it. Are you full? If not, I'll go cook you another bowl of noodles."
Xiao Zheyu shook his head, "I'm full. Sister Xiaoman, it's not that I don't want to say it, I just don't know how to say it."
He was born in a wealthy family, but he didn't meet a pair of qualified parents...
"My parents were in a business marriage. They divorced when I was 9 years old, and I lived with my dad. My dad was busy with company matters every day and ignored me. After my mom divorced, she was busy dating someone else and didn't care about me either."
Later, his mother remarried and his father remarried, and he became an insignificant and invisible person.
He wanted to join a boy band because he wanted to be on TV, to be a shining star, and to have his parents' eyes stay on him, even if only for a moment.
"After the natural disaster, my father built a farm. I have been helping him since I returned from the floating city, and he has been very kind to me. I thought we would continue to live like this... Who knew that a locust plague would suddenly occur, and my father's farm suffered heavy losses..."
"My father wanted to dig a private water well on the farm to recover his losses, but he couldn't afford to bribe the people above him. He heard that the person in charge liked men and wanted to take me..."
Xiao Zheyu's face looked very ugly. To this day, he still couldn't understand why his biological father would send him away like a commodity.
If he hadn't overheard his father's conversation with someone else, he might have been lying in someone else's bed without knowing what was going on.
Xiao Zheyu continued: "After I knew my father's plan, I fled to my mother's house."
Xia Xiaoman frowned. "Your mother is married. If you think about it, you will know that she will not take you in. Why did you think of running to her house?"
Xiao Zheyu laughed bitterly, "Sister Xiaoman, you are right. Even you, an outsider, can see through me, but I was stupid enough to think that my mother would be nice to me."
"I went to my mom's house and stayed there for only two days when my stepsister falsely accused me of watching her change clothes."
"I was beaten up and thrown out of the house by my stepfather and my stepsister's boyfriend, and my mom just watched coldly without saying a word to help me."
"Because you were abandoned by your family, you came back alone?" Xia Xiaoman asked.
Xiao Zheyu shook his head. If that was all, he wouldn't have traveled all the way back to Fucheng. "After being kicked out by my mom and her family, I found a job repairing circuits, and I would go looking for supplies during my breaks."
"Sister Xiaoman, you know I've always had good luck. When I was looking for supplies, I saw two gangs fighting each other. While they were fighting, I stole a cloth bag. When I got home and opened the bag, I found that it was full of gold, about 50 kilograms, including gold bars and gold chains."
Xia Xiaoman looked at him and asked, "Did you tell your parents about this gold?"
Xiao Zheyu immediately retorted, "How is that possible? Am I that stupid?"
Xia Xiaoman didn't say anything, but the look in her eyes was like she was looking at a fool.
Xiao Zheyu rolled his eyes speechlessly, but after being interrupted by Xia Xiaoman, he felt less upset. "I hid the gold as soon as I got it. I thought that I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, so I hid it in several places."
"But I don't know what my stepsister is thinking. After she found out that I earned some supplies from work, she instigated her boyfriend to steal my supplies, saying that it was compensation for her mental illness."
When they were robbing supplies, they found a place where gold was hidden. From then on, his life was constantly harassed by his mother's family.
"My mom and her friends have always suspected that I still have gold, and they come to my house every now and then to make trouble. Even if I move away, they will find a way to come back."
"The noise was too loud, and my father found out where I was. He gave me two choices: sleep with him or give him the gold. I had no choice but to leave Yancheng because of the two families' pressure."
But he had only been to Fucheng since he was a child, except Yancheng. And he had friends in Fucheng, so after thinking it over, he used the remaining gold he had hidden to take a ride to Fucheng.
It turned out that the ride was a black car and dropped him off halfway. He didn't know the way, and he took countless detours to reach a place that only took three days to reach. It took him almost a month to see the sign for the floating city.
Looking at the pitiful Xiao Zheyu, Xia Xiaoman said two words expressionlessly, "You deserve it!"
In her opinion, Xiao Zheyu had brought all this upon himself. He knew his parents disliked him, but he foolishly bought a ticket to go back. It would have been fine if he had just gone back, but after provoking his father, he provoked his mother. He provoked both, and he had no way of avoiding their entanglement.
If you say he is stupid, he still knew to hide the gold in different places. If you say he is smart, he had so much gold but he didn't know how to buy a car and drive back to the floating city, and he took a ride instead.
She was abandoned by the driver and didn't even ask for directions. The three-day journey took almost a month. She was really impressed. It was a miracle that Xiao Zheyu could find her alive.
Being complained by Xia Xiaoman, Xiao Zheyu felt aggrieved, "How could I know that the driver would abandon me? He said he was going to Fucheng to find his daughter. Who knew he would give up looking for her halfway through the journey?"
Xia Xiaoman rolled her eyes, "You should be content. They didn't kill or rob you, but just left you behind. That's already kind of them. Didn't you see how they killed people and dumped bodies during the flood? You're so bold that you actually took a ride with the gold ingots in your arms?"
Xiao Zheyu rubbed his fingers, "I have a knife hidden on me. If he dares to attack me, I will definitely fight him to the death..."
Xia Xiaoman looked disdainful and said, "With your small body, you're still trying so hard. Pin Xixi is better."
"Okay, let's not talk about the past. First, tell me what your plans are for the future."
Xiao Zheyu said without hesitation: "Of course I will follow Sister Xiaoman. Sister Xiaoman, if you tell me to go west, I will never go east. If you tell me to stand, I will never sit!"
"Then I advise you to give up as soon as possible. Forget about following me. You can't even live near my house if you want."
Xia Xiaoman explained: "Shuiyue Bay does not allow outsiders to stay overnight. If you want to live here, you need to pass Shuiyue Bay's interview. I suggest you go find Su Ran and the others, if they are still alive."
Xiao Zheyu's heart tightened when he heard this, "What happened to Su Ran and the others?"
Xia Xiaoman: "I wonder if the tornado last night affected Su Ran and the others. If they were at the center of the tornado, they would probably be in ruins now."
Xiao Zheyu stood up immediately and said, "Then I'll go find them now. Sister Xiaoman, do you want to go?"
Xia Xiaoman thought for two seconds. After all, they were friends. "Let's go! It's still early."
