Chapter 58: The so-called family affection
The moment I saw my father and stepmother, I suddenly felt a little panicked. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
It's out of habit, out of instinct.
For example, if your homeroom teacher was very strict in elementary school, and you were always afraid of him, then even if it has been more than ten years, you can't help but feel scared when you remember this teacher or face him again.
It's not that you're timid, but the fear that the other party has given you has been for a long time, and it's the same as being bitten by a snake once and being afraid of the well rope for ten years.
My sister and I have been abused and beaten by our stepmother since we were children, and we have long been scared, even after so long, I still often think of the countless days and nights that were miserable and mixed with crying.
But I soon laughed at myself again, and said to myself, what are I afraid of? They have long since rejected me as a son, and they have already kicked me out of the house, and they are now only familiar strangers to me, and I don't care what they have to say, or what they look at me.
I just can't believe that in just over a month, they actually bought a car, it should be their sister's money before.
None of the people present knew my father and stepmother, and when I told them that this was my parents, they were all stunned, and Li Wei subconsciously said hello, especially Liu Xiaoyun was the most worried, just like she wanted to see her boyfriend's parents.
Dad helped his stepmother and walked over slowly.
It was an expression I hadn't seen before.
My stepmother's belly is very big, so I can't remember, it should have been five or six months, right?
They walked up to me, my stepmother looked at me with a complicated face, and my father sighed and said that you have lost weight.
Just those three words almost made me tremble.
Then I gritted my teeth and said, "What are you doing here?"
The stepmother took out a wanted warrant from behind her, her face was less mean than before, and said that we have all heard about you, and the police have come to us several times.
I sneered and said that you were helping to arrest me, or did you persuade me to go back and turn myself in?
Dad wanted to talk and stopped, but the stepmother took over and said that I came with your dad this time just to see you, and I didn't mean anything else. Moreover, your father and I didn't want to drive you away at the beginning, and we have all reflected on it during this time, without your brothers and sisters, the house is too deserted, if you want to come back, we are very welcome.
My stepmother looked into my eyes, and I could see some sincerity in her eyes.
This is something I haven't seen in more than a decade.
I smiled sarcastically, and said that you guys are interested in Xiaobei's money, right? Let me tell you, now that she has found her biological parents, she no longer has to worry about being abused by you.
Hearing my sarcasm, my father finally got angry again, and scolded your mother now that she has a big belly, so don't talk about her.
Then, for the first time in my life, I yelled at him: "She's not my mother, my mother died a long time ago!"
Li Wei and Da Zhuang both stayed on the spot, Li Wei still knew some of my family's situation, but I didn't know that our relationship would be so stiff.
But I yelled at me like this, but my stepmother was unusually angry, sighed, and said that you kid, how come the whole person has changed in half a year. Yes, you are not my biological child, and I used to beat and scold you at home, but it can't change the fact that I am your legal mother. If you resent me for that, I can't help it. But now that you have committed such a big crime, you have become a wanted criminal, and if you continue to escape, there will definitely be no way to live. This time, we are not persuading you to turn yourself in, but after all, we have lived together for more than ten years, and we just want to come and see you.
I sneered and said, "How do you know that I am going to die? I say that I have been wronged, will you believe me? At most, I have just fought with people and injured them, so why should I be sentenced to death? If I don't run away, will I just wait for death in vain?
The stepmother nodded and said, I know your personality with your father, and your child is naturally very docile, and he will not do those illegal and criminal things, so we believe in you.
For some reason, looking at the warmth and sincerity on my stepmother's face, although I don't know if she is in disguise, it still makes my nose sour.
It was only at this moment that I realized my pathos.
Even if I am a child from a poor family, even if I can't eat enough, I can't dress warmly, even if I am bullied like a dog outside, the desire in my heart has never changed.
I want to have a home, and I want to have parents who love me.
My stepmother came over, gently wiped away my tears, and her eyes were red, saying child, Mom knows it's wrong, I shouldn't have scolded your brothers and sisters over the years, we are a family after all, blood is thicker than water, forgive Mom?
Listening to my stepmother's words, I just cried, although I didn't nod, but I couldn't hate her. I felt that it was okay for me to suffer, but my sister had been hurt so much that I could not convince myself that I could forgive her.
For a moment neither of them was speechless.
Dad also walked over, suddenly smiled, and said Xiaoyang, who is this girl?
Liu Xiaoyun, who had never dared to speak in my arms, looked a little panicked, lowered her head and said hello uncle, my name is Liu Xiaoyun, and I am Ye Yang's...... Schoolmate.
But the stepmother has already taken over the conversation, saying that she is Xiaoyang's girlfriend, right? Looking at the intimacy of the two of you, the blind can see it. She wiped the corners of her eyes, but she didn't mean to object, saying that this girl was quite handsome, and she knew that she was a virtuous type by looking at her face, but it was good to ask her to be a daughter-in-law.
Liu Xiaoyun still lowered her head and pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, but her face was already red to the root of her ears.
The atmosphere seemed a little relaxed for a while, my tone slowed down a little, and I didn't speak ill anymore, saying that my stepmother had a strong stomach and was prone to catching a cold, so you better go back quickly.
Dad hesitated for a moment, then looked at my stepmother, and my stepmother said to me, "Don't you have nowhere to go now?" Before coming here, we have already discussed, and the police have come several times, and it is estimated that they will not come again for the time being, so I want you to go back and hide for a few days, so that you can have food and a place to live.
I can't make up my mind, look at Li Wei and Da Zhuang, they also seem to think it's a good idea, because my family is not in the city, but in the countryside, and it is much more convenient than the people in the city.
And Liu Xiaoyun is injured, and she is determined to follow me, I really can't bear to run away with her all the way, I don't think about myself, at least I have to think about her, so I nodded, which can be regarded as a promise.
My father and stepmother looked very surprised, but at the same time very happy, and the stepmother said that it should not be so much to worry about, let's go home first! Your father worked as a driver a few years ago, and he drove very steadily, and when he returned to the market, I asked him to buy some meat and go back to make some delicious food for you.
Listening to these nagging words, I was in a trance, and for the first time I felt a little warmth from this family. At the same time, I thought to myself, has my stepmother really changed? This woman used to be so mean, why did she change so much all of a sudden?
Although she was still a little vigilant in her heart, she couldn't find a flaw in her face, so she comforted herself, after all, a family, who wants to be a child without a home?
So, I helped Liu Xiaoyun and followed my father and stepmother to slowly walk towards their car.
Li Wei and Da Zhuang looked at each other and smiled, waved at me, and prepared to leave.
When I came to the side of the car, through the window, I suddenly saw a black mobile phone in the driver's seat, the red light on it flashed and flashed, obviously on the call, and on the side of the mobile phone, a blue armed police logo, was so dazzling.
I immediately stood up, my face pale.
The stepmother turned around, a hint of panic on her face, and although it disappeared very quickly, I still caught it.
I laughed miserably, I only felt extremely disappointed and desperate, tears flowed out at once, laughing, saying that dogs can't change eating, sure enough, I'm still too naïve!
Seeing that I saw through it, my stepmother's face turned cold, and she said Xiaoyang, if you want to blame, you can only blame you for not studying well outside! We have nothing to do with you for a long time, but the police still came to the house to look for you three times and twice, and warned that if you are not handed over, even we will be arrested together, and your father and I are forced to do this in desperation!
As he spoke, in the blink of an eye, my stepmother, who was not far from me, quickly walked over, took out a pair of handcuffs from nowhere, and clasped them on my wrist with a click.
