Chapter 18 Celebrate My Birthday
"Things haven't ended the worst yet, there's still a chance to salvage everything!" Liu Changying said in a deep voice.
"We still have time, Zheng'er, you have to cheer up first!"
"We can then find a way..."
Liu Zheng wiped away his tears and nodded.
"Okay! Okay! I will definitely find a way to compensate Liu Yong!"
"I am indeed sorry for what happened this time!"
Liu Zheng secretly swore in his heart that he would never drink again.
The two soon arrived at another village, Liujia Village, which is located on the east side of Huaitai Town, close to Xinyuan County.
Liu Zheng had been here before. Soon they arrived at Liu Yong's house.
He asked Liu Changying to wait at a distance and he went forward and knocked on the door.
It took a long time for the door to open.
Inside the door was a very weathered, blind old woman. This person was Liu Yong’s adoptive mother, Cui.
Cui looked at Liu Zheng with lifeless eyes and asked, "Who is it? Who are you looking for?"
Liu Zheng looked at Cui and felt even more guilty.
He heard from Liu Yong that in her early years, Cui mended clothes for others every day in order to make money, and later she went blind because of it.
Liu Yong's adoptive father, Uncle Liu, worked in the fields every day, and his back was bent and his health was very poor.
The adoptive parents were very kind. They saved all the money that Liu Yong's biological mother sent them and did not dare to spend a penny carelessly.
They all tried their best to support Liu Yong's studies.
And all their hard work was destroyed by him.
Liu Zheng suppressed the deep guilt in his heart and said, "Cui, Aunt Cui, I'm Liu Zheng, I'm here to look for Liu Yong!"
Cui nodded, obviously happy, "Oh, Liu Zheng is here!"
“That’s great!”
"I don't know what happened to Yong'er, he seems very unhappy today!"
"You are his best friend, it's a good opportunity to talk to him when you come here!"
"He will be very happy!"
Best friends...
I don’t deserve…
Liu Zheng pursed his lips and nodded, forcing a smile and said, "Okay!"
Just when Cui was about to let him in, Liu Yong suddenly stood at the door.
He is about the same age as Liu Zheng, but he is darker and thinner than Liu Zheng. The body is thinner.
His deep facial features make him seem taciturn.
He didn't let Liu Zheng in, but just asked calmly, "You're here! What's the matter?"
Liu Zheng pursed his lips and was about to speak. Liu Yong interrupted him.
"Wait a moment!"
Liu Yong first helped Cui back to the house before walking to the front door.
Liu Zheng was still not allowed in.
Liu Zheng saw him come out again and spoke quickly in a low voice.
"I'm so sorry about your mother's matter. I drank too much last night and accidentally said it out loud!"
"I, I, really didn't mean it!"
"I will stop drinking and never drink again!"
"I apologize to you!"
"I'm willing to make it up to you..."
"I am willing to bear whatever you want to do to me..."
"I'm so sorry!"
"I'm going to drop out of school soon!"
"I……"
Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, tears welling up in his eyes.
Liu Yong just looked at him calmly without any expression.
Liu Zheng felt very sad, "I really want to make it up to you!"
"I'll agree to whatever you say!"
Liu Yong looked at him for a long time, and suddenly asked, "My birthday is in three days, have you prepared a birthday present for me?"
Liu Zheng was stunned and looked up at him.
But I still answered honestly.
"I am prepared. I have been prepared for a long time!"
It was prepared together with Qiaoer’s gift.
Liu Yong nodded, "Okay, then come over on my birthday in three days!"
"I'm in a bad mood today, so I won't entertain you!"
"Please go back!"
Liu Zheng was startled and quickly stepped forward and grabbed his sleeve.
"sorry……"
Liu Yong didn't look back.
Liu Yong pulled out his sleeve. Walk in and close the door immediately.
Liu Zheng stared at the gate for a long time, and finally walked to Liu Changying in a daze.
"father!"
Liu Changying sighed and patted his shoulder to comfort him.
Liu Changying asked him, "What did Liu Yong say!"
In fact, he was not far away, so he didn't hear everything, but he heard a lot.
Liu Zheng pursed his lips, "Liu Yong, he said he is in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk to me!"
Liu Changying nodded in understanding.
Liu Zheng continued, "He, he asked me if I had prepared a birthday present for him."
"He also said that he would come to his house to celebrate his birthday in three days!"
Liu Changying narrowed his eyes instantly.
"It seems that he is unwilling to forgive you!"
Liu Zheng didn't say anything, but this time he couldn't hold back his tears anymore and they flowed down.
“It’s all my fault!”
"I shouldn't have drunk!"
"I ruined his life!"
"I can understand how he treats me..."
Seeing his son so depressed, Liu Changying sighed helplessly.
"Life is a long journey, and it is inevitable to make mistakes..."
Liu Zheng gritted his teeth, "But this mistake could have been avoided!"
"He told me because he trusted me, but I actually betrayed him!"
Liu Changying's eyes darkened, and a scene from decades ago flashed before his eyes.
He suddenly didn't know what to say...
Liu Zheng continued, "I, I really deserve to die..."
Liu Changying was silent.
Just looking at Liu Zheng there, tears streaming down her face.
Only after Liu Zheng calmed down did Liu Changying pull him onto the ox cart and leave.
On the way, Liu Changying said.
"Zheng'er, now that it has happened, you can't just sit here and sigh!"
"We have to think of a way to make up for this mistake!"
"Then, be careful not to make the same mistake again next time!"
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly, still a little self-deprecating, "How can I make up for such a big thing!"
"Liu Yong has lost his qualification to go to school and will not be able to take exams in the future!"
"How can I, a little boy, make up for it?"
Liu Changying was silent for a while.
Suddenly I thought of Liu Shiqi’s previous thoughts.
He is obviously a royal descendant, but...
He shook his head helplessly.
"Didn't you say that Liu Yong wanted to redeem his biological mother?"
"Then let's redeem him!"
Liu Zheng was stunned. "Redeem it? That must cost a lot of money!"
"How can our family afford it..."
Liu Changying sighed, "If the money is not enough, just borrow..."
Liu Zheng lowered his head. His mistake not only ruined his friend's future. Make him a laughing stock.
And it puts the family in trouble too...
He is so disloyal...
He really wants to die now.
Liu Changying naturally noticed that his mood was not right and hurried to comfort him.
"In fact, your mother has saved a lot of money. Besides preparing for your education, there is also money for your and your brother's wedding!"
"So things at home aren't as tense as you think."
Liu Zheng knew that his father was comforting him, "Dad, I understand..."
"But, Dad, I want to drop out of school!"
Liu Changying looked at him, "Are you sure?"
Liu Zheng nodded firmly.
"yes!"
"Liu Yong can't go to school because of me! How can I have the face to go back..."
Liu Changying nodded, "Okay, I'll drop out of school soon and take all my things back!"
Liu Zheng nodded and thought about what his father said about redeeming Liu Yong's mother.
He really wanted to help Liu Yong redeem his mother.
But, the problem arises again.
"Dad, but I don't know where Liu Yong's mother is!"
"I don't even know his mother's name!"
"How can I redeem this?"
