Wang Wei stood up and led the applause.
Everyone in the sleeper car applauded the family of three, both as a gesture of comfort and encouragement.
Lin Guihua cried so hard that Liu Xiangdong took her aside to rest.
Wang Wei continued to ask Liu Yihang, "Your grandmother has been obstructing you like this, have you ever hated her?"
"I used to hate it. When I was a child, I never got any new clothes, delicious food, or New Year's money. Even though I got a perfect score on a test, my younger siblings only got a passing grade, but they were always the ones who got praised."
My parents worked tirelessly, but it couldn't compare to a few kind words from my second and third uncles.
My parents earned money, but they wouldn't spend a penny more on me. Instead, they gave the money to my second uncle for gambling and to my third uncle for pocket money.
At that time, I felt hatred.
I told myself that I had to make something of myself and take my parents away from them.
It is this belief that has kept me going until now.
However, just yesterday, I unexpectedly learned that my father is not my grandparents' biological son.
They had been married for many years without having children, so they had no choice but to take in an abandoned baby. After my father had his own biological child, he became the superfluous one.
No matter how much he sacrificed for this family, he never received a shred of pity from his grandparents, and neither did I.
So, I don't hate anymore, because it's over.
In his final words, Liu Yihang exuded a sense of calm, as if he had already traversed countless mountains in a light boat.
Wang Wei never expected that his interview would bring up this family matter, and such a dramatic story at that.
What do you mean by "it has nothing to do with us anymore"?
"Grandma brought this up because when the family property was divided, my father might take a share of the money, which she was unhappy about. So she brought this up to demand that our whole family leave with nothing."
My parents have sacrificed the most for our family over the years, but in the end, all their efforts were erased because of the statement that they are not biologically related to us. It's truly tragic.
However, the current outcome has made our family feel much more at ease. We have repaid the debt of gratitude and will no longer owe each other anything.
As you can see, the three of us are now all alone, preparing to go to Tianzhou City to start all over again.
"I've finally fulfilled my long-held wish and led my parents away from that exploitative family," Liu Yihang said, sounding quite relaxed.
Wang Wei and the others in the carriage felt a heavy weight in their hearts.
This family has had it so tough.
Liu Yihang didn't want to say so much, but Lin Guihua only told half of it. If he didn't explain things clearly, and if it were reported, some people might make unfounded accusations, saying that he had abandoned his family back home after getting into university, which would have a bad influence.
So let's just be clear: this really happened, there's nothing to hide.
Wang Wei concluded the interview.
"This two hundred yuan is a small token of my appreciation. I hope you have a bright future." Wang Wei took out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yihang.
"Young man, it's not much money, just fifty yuan as a small token of my appreciation."
"This is mine."
…
In an instant, the entire carriage seemed to have turned into a fundraising event. Those who could afford a sleeper berth were not poor, and everyone generously donated, contributing their share.
Liu Yihang was both amused and touched.
“I appreciate everyone’s kind gesture, but I really don’t need it. I have already earned enough to pay for my studies and will continue to work hard in the future. Your money is hard-earned, so please take it back.”
Liu Yihang's insistence on not accepting money only made him appear even more admirable in everyone's eyes.
After Wang Wei returned home, he told his son Liu Yihang's story. Unexpectedly, his usually carefree son became more and more motivated and took Liu Yihang as his role model, which also solved a major problem by accident.
That's a story for another time.
After Wang Wei left, it was completely dark, and the lights in the carriage had been turned on at some point.
Just as the three were about to rest, another group of people arrived.
"Excuse me, which one of you is Comrade Liu?" The one leading the group was a man in a casual suit who looked very imposing, followed by a beautiful woman.
"Yes, it is. May I ask what's the matter?" Liu Yihang had no choice but to stand up.
"Hello, hello!" The man strode over, grabbed his hand, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Comrade Liu, thank you, thank you, you are a benefactor to my son!"
The young man was in tears, and his words were somewhat incoherent.
Liu Yihang roughly knew that he was probably the father of the little boy he had saved.
"Helping those in need is something every Chinese person would do, so don't worry about it. Has the child woken up?"
"The child is still receiving an IV drip in the infirmary. The doctor said he will wake up soon."
Comrade Liu, you saved our child. My husband and I really don't have any decent gifts to offer right now, so this is just a small token of our appreciation. We hope it's helpful.
The pretty woman behind him stepped forward and placed something wrapped in paper next to Liu Yihang's bed.
Liu Yihang understood that this was definitely a reward, such as money.
He quickly pushed it back, saying, "No need, it's just a small favor."
The woman was about to say something.
Another female voice chimed in: "Yihang?"
"Auntie? Are you also taking this train to Beijing?" Liu Yihang looked at Yunyin's mother with surprise.
But why are her eyes red and swollen? Where's Yunyin?
Seeing this scene, Yunyin's mother, Zhu Hongmei, understood perfectly well what was happening.
After her daughter's condition stabilized, she and her husband rushed over to thank Comrade Liu, the officer mentioned by the train police.
Unexpectedly, the Comrade Liu who saved her daughter was actually her classmate Liu Yihang.
