Chapter 12: Wronged
The moment I saw Uncle Xu's surprised face, my head buzzed, as if someone had suddenly whipped me, and I couldn't speak in shock.
"Xiaodong, Yingying, what are you two doing?" Uncle Xu asked with worry in his eyes.
While I was stunned, Xu Yingying gritted her teeth and pushed me away: "You get out of here!"
Caught off guard, I fell to the ground, Xu Yingying suddenly grabbed a thin quilt to cover her lower body, and cried in a loud voice.
"Dad, Li Dong, Li Dong...... He's going to do that to me...... Father...... Save me......"
My eyes widened.
SheโShe framed me like that!
Completely overwhelmed, I explained to Uncle Xu in great panic: "Uncle Xu, no, it's not like that......"
Syllable!
Uncle Xu suddenly rushed over like crazy, raised his hand and slapped me hard.
This slap hurts even more than Liu Tong hitting me.
It hurts not only on the face, but also in the heart.
"You rabbit cub, you actually did such a shameless thing! You get out of here immediately, get out of here!" Uncle Xu was furious, his eyes were red, and I saw anger and deep disappointment in his eyes.
I covered half of my face in great pain, and said cautiously: "Uncle Xu, it's not like this, I don't, I don't......"
"So what were you doing!?"
Uncle Xu angrily questioned me.
I wanted to explain, but Uncle Xu didn't give me this chance, and then said: "Li Dong, you disappointed me too much, you go and pack your things immediately, I'll call your grandfather and ask him to pick you up!"
Uncle Xu went away angrily.
I have countless words that I want to shout out, I want to explain, and I want Uncle Xu to know that it is not what Xu Yingying said, but I don't know why, in the face of Uncle Xu's disappointed eyes looking at me, there are so many words stuck in my throat......
I looked sideways at Xu Yingying.
She was sneering at me.
Although she was still teary-eyed, there was a little sadness in her eyes, and there was only pride and deep contempt for me.
I went back to my room to pack my things......
An hour later, Grandpa arrived.
I sat in the room in a daze, heard a knock on the door, and soon heard my grandfather's sincere apology.
Uncle Xu must have told Grandpa on the phone what he thought I had done......
"Master, for your sake, I'm ...... I won't pursue it, you take Xiaodong back and educate him well, I can see that he is a good boy, maybe he is just confused for a while......"
Outside the door, Uncle Xu sighed: "I believe he will correct his mistakes." It's just that...... He's not a good fit to live here, Master. โ
"Okay, I understand, what's that...... Yingying, Xiaodong, this kid...... Hey, anyway, grandpa apologized to you on her behalf, don't take it to heart, don't hate him, ah......"
Just listening to my grandfather's voice, I could think of how frightened and groveling he was.
At this moment, tears unconsciously burst out of his eyes.
I didn't hear Xu Yingying's words, and I think she would probably give her grandfather a big roll of the eye, showing how disdainful she was.
"Xiaodong, come out......"
Suddenly, Aunt Lin opened the door and called.
I took a deep breath, wiped away my tears, and slowly got up and walked outside.
When I arrived at the door, Aunt Lin looked at me meaningfully, sighed and said, "Xiaodong, Aunt Lin believes in you......"
I shuddered, and my dim and cold heart suddenly brightened and warmed.
I stared at Aunt Lin's shining eyes, and the grievances in my heart suddenly decreased a lot, but on the contrary, it made me want to cry even more, choked up, and couldn't speak.
"Take care of yourself and have time to see Auntie. Aunt Lin looked back at Uncle Xu and Xu Yingying outside, and then whispered to me.
I seemed to have a lot of things to say to Aunt Lin, but until I left, I couldn't say a word.
After coming out of Uncle Xu's house and going downstairs, Uncle Xu was still looking down from the balcony upstairs, waving at his grandfather and telling him to ride slowly.
Crunch squeak โ
In the dead of night, my grandfather rode with me, and the sound of the old bicycle was even harsher.
Along the way, grandpa didn't ask me a word about Xu Yingying.
After riding for a long, long time, my grandfather took me home.
As soon as I entered the door, my grandfather leaned the car against the brick wall and smiled kindly at me: "Xiaodong, go back to the house and rest." โ
"Grandpa, I'm ......" I pinched the corner of my school uniform and said, "I really didn't do it, Xu Yingying framed me." โ
"Grandpa believes in you. Grandpa came over, patted my shoulder with his big and powerful hand, and smiled gently, "My Xiaodong, it's impossible to do that kind of thing." โ
All grievances seem to be gone all at once.
But the tears could no longer be held back, and the flood burst like a flood......
"Silly boy, don't cry, you're a man. Grandpa's eyes were kind, and his eyes were full of love for me, "It's not early, go and rest." โ
I can't sleep.
Grandpa loves me very much, and he chooses to believe me unconditionally, but what about Uncle Xu? Uncle Xu is a good person, he misunderstood me, I don't blame him, after all, Xu Yingying is his daughter, I can understand his nervousness and anger.
But I want him to know that I'm not what he thinks......
After I went to school, I rarely went to see my father, and I definitely couldn't sleep anyway, so I might as well go to the back mountain to see my father.
My father had a dispute with someone while working outside, and he was beaten crazy by the other party, and he didn't know anyone who was usually crazy, and he would always say some incomprehensible nonsense, saying that someone owed him money, or he would fight with whomever he would. Even, there is a strong aggressiveness.
Afraid that his father would do something to hurt the villagers, his grandfather had no choice but to lock his father in a hut in the back mountain.
My father is the son of my grandfather, and I know that my grandfather is more upset than anyone else doing this. I've seen it several times when my grandfather went to the back mountain to deliver food to my father, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Grandpa is doing this for the sake of the villagers and for my safety, because my father is crazy and his six relatives don't recognize him, and there is really a possibility of attacking anyone.
But I didn't expect that, in the dark, I followed the path to the hut in the back mountain.
My father had not yet gone to sleep, and when I arrived, I saw him pacing back and forth in the hut through the barred door, muttering to himself and muttering, and I could not hear what he was saying.
Looking at my crazy father, my heart hurt like a knife.
It would be nice if my father was okay......
"Dongdong?" When I was wiping my tears, my father suddenly ran over, grabbed the railing of the iron bar, was very emotional, and looked at me with wide eyes, "Why are you here, Dongdong?!"
My heart thumped......
"Daddy, youโdo you recognize me?" Ever since my father was beaten crazy, he hasn't known me, and sometimes when he sees me, he will ask me to pay back the money, but what's going on now, is my father okay?
My father was very excited and said, "Dongdong, you hurry, you open the door for me......"
"Huh?" I froze.
After all, my father was delirious, and it would be too dangerous for him to run away and attack the people in the village if he opened the door.
My father suddenly begged me pitifully: "Dongdong, dad begs you, dad is fine, really, you open the door quickly, dad hasn't been out for a long time, dad wants to go out and see, good son, good dongdong......"
I was ecstatic and said, "You, you're really good daddy?"
"Hmm!" the father nodded vigorously.
I've been looking forward to this day for too long......
I burst into tears of excitement and quickly took out the key to open the door.
Standing in the doorway, I trembled with excitement. Originally, I had a lot of things to say to my father when he got better, but this day really came suddenly, and I was at a loss, and a thousand words were stuck in my throat.
At this moment, I realized that all words were useless, and I could express my thoughts about my father with hugs.
I thought that my father would give me a big hug, but I never expected that as soon as I opened the door, my father, who seemed to be conscious a second ago, suddenly rushed at me like crazy.
Poof.
I was thrown to the ground by my father, and then my father grabbed me by the neck desperately: "I'll kill you, I'll kill you-"
My father was extremely hard, and soon because of suffocation, I felt that there was a gold star in front of me, and what scared me even more was my father's eyes.
