Chapter 64: Killer Extra: A Life of Disappointment (2)
The factory is still there, and the land is still there, because no one wants them. The relationship between Xu Meiyin and her husband became worse than ever. Every day when Wang Pengyi was at home, all he heard was endless quarrels. Even if Wang Liangwei ran to the mountains to hide, Wang Pengyi would still hear Xu Meiyin's endless insults and curses.
Wang Pengyi boldly proposed to live on campus, but Xu Meiyin responded with a vicious roll of the eyes and a suspicious look. From then on, he never dared to mention it again.
It was by chance that Wang Pengyi discovered that his father was fooling around with someone. The school had other activities scheduled that day and cancelled the afternoon self-study session. Wang Pengyi did not go home or tell his mother, but secretly ran up the mountain alone. After doing this several times without being discovered by Xu Meiyin, he became more adept at it.
There were no workers in the factory for a long time, and the sharp and noisy sounds of the machines had long stopped. Wang Pengyi stood in the whistling mountain breeze, listening to the breathing of the man and woman in the room, looking at the two white bodies. Strangely, he felt neither angry nor sad. He was just a little annoyed - they took up his space, and his hard-earned chance to sneak out was wasted! It was so difficult for him to sneak out!
Truth will come to light sooner or later. Wang Liangwei and that unemployed divorced woman became more and more daring as they got along.
At home, a new round of war broke out, and Xu Meiyin and Wang Liangwei even started fighting. Many times, Xu Meiyin had a bruised face and nose, and Wang Liangwei was not much better off, with bloody scratches on his face and arms.
Wang Pengyi once asked Xu Meiyin: "Do you want to divorce him?"
Xu Meiyin was hysterically angry: "Divorce? You wish! Let him live with that slut? I will never divorce him. I will wear him down! No one can have a good life!"
Wang Pengyi's academic performance is getting worse every year.
In fact, he was doing well at the beginning. He was in the middle of the class in a key junior high school. The teacher also felt that although the child had average aptitude, he had a good foundation and was serious and hardworking, so he would have no problem getting into a key high school in the future. But that day, Xu Meiyin, who had just had a quarrel with Wang Liangwei, got furious when she saw the report card: "20th? Only 20th! Not to mention the grade, you didn't even make it into the top three in the class? Pengyi, how did you become like this now? You've never been out of the top three in your grade before! Did you just want to play after entering junior high school? You don't even focus on studying? You disappoint me so much! Go to your room and do the test paper again! If you don't make it into the top three next semester, you'll see!"
Wang Pengyi went back to his room and cried for a long time.
But even though he stayed up late until midnight or 1 a.m. every day, he still couldn't make it into the top three, and his grades even got worse and worse. Every time the test results came out, he would be met with a barrage of fierce abuse. Later, Wang Pengyi gradually felt less uncomfortable, but when she scolded him, he lowered his head and looked gloomy. After returning to his room, he was like a wooden man, doing what he was supposed to do step by step, without any ripples in his heart.
Until one day, Wang Pengyi accidentally passed by the office and heard the head teacher and another teacher talking about him.
"Although Wang Pengyi is not very smart and has average qualifications, he will surely be admitted to high school if he continues to maintain his momentum. But now, I don't think it's going to happen."
"His mother is a top-notch teacher in a key primary school. If you don't know her, you would think she is a university professor. I heard that she was very strict with Wang Pengyi, but it backfired and the problem got worse and worse."
"I heard his parents are getting divorced."
"What a pity! This kid is quite stubborn and doesn't really listen to the teacher. I can't do anything about it."
…
After school, Wang Pengyi walked home in silence. When passing an alley, he saw a stray puppy lying on the side of the road. Perhaps because the puppy is often fed by people, it is not afraid of people and even wags its tail at him. Wang Pengyi walked over and kicked the puppy hard in the stomach. The puppy whimpered and didn't get up for a long time.
Wang Pengyi felt a little better and thought to himself: It turns out that everyone thinks I am not qualified, I am stupid, and I am hopeless.
I had no hope of going to high school.
In the junior high school entrance examination, Wang Pengyi failed to get into even the most ordinary high school in the city by 3 points. At that time, his father's factory had consumed most of the family savings, leaving him with no money to go to high school.
On the day when the report card came out, Xu Meiyin stared blankly for a long time. This time, she did not scold him again. It seemed that she had exhausted all her hope and strength on her son. She just stared at him with her dark eyes and said in a gloomy tone: "It is true that you are not a different race. What kind of father you have, what kind of son you will have. Haha, in this life, I can't rely on anyone except myself."
However, Wang Pengyi gradually became happy.
Because his mother finally gave up on him, he no longer had to study day and night.
Wang Pengyi, who entered a vocational school, had a free and easy time for a while. He was good-looking and seemed gentle, but during that time, he learned how to smoke, drink and fight. Moreover, he was extremely fierce in fighting and almost got people into trouble several times. In the end, no one dared to mess with him.
I had one or two girlfriends, but for some reason, they didn't last long. Within a few months, all the girlfriends broke up with each other, and when they mentioned this person again, they seemed to want to avoid him as much as possible.
"There's nothing wrong with him. He's very gentle and considerate, but it's just some details that make people feel tired."
"I think he looks scary sometimes, and I don't know why."
After graduating from technical school, Wang Pengyi and his classmates went to work in a factory in Guangdong. After working on the assembly line for more than ten hours, the wages are just enough to live on. After only working for a few months, Wang Pengyi had a quarrel with the team leader over a very small matter, and they almost came to blows, so he walked away in anger.
He returned to Huaicheng and worked several jobs thereafter, but not only did they pay very little, they were also not long-lasting.
Because of her age, Xu Meiyin no longer served as the head teacher of the graduating class and retreated to the second line. Her personality seemed to soften as well. Of course, she looked down on her son who had accomplished nothing, but compared with her husband who had been supporting a mistress for years and with whom she had a freezing relationship, she was on the same side as her son.
Wang Liangping worked as a security guard and his income was not high. But he has the financial resources to support his mistress.
Xu Meiyin said to Wang Pengyi, "The house left by your grandparents, and the two storefronts downstairs, are for you. Now your father is using the rent from the house and storefronts to support his mistress. Humph, he's dreaming. I heard that the area will be demolished in a few years, and they will compensate several houses. In our case, they can even compensate millions. That's yours, Pengyi, we must get it back!"
Wang Pengyi carried two bottles of Moutai and went to his father's other home. He called the woman "Auntie" and the son born to the daughter "Brother". The father was very surprised. While the woman was busy in the kitchen, the father and son sat at the table drinking. Wang Pengyi said, "Dad, Mom is going to sue you for bigamy."
