In fact, Zhong Xin has lived for more than 30 years, and he never knows who his biological father is. He was not an orphan, but he was born into such a family, and his life may not be as happy as that of the abandoned children in the orphanage.

For as long as he can remember, Zhong Xin has been calling the man who gave him his surname by his first name. Because they were not related by blood, because the man would beat his mother when he got drunk, because he was a wild seed born to a man with whom his mother did not know, because he never belonged to that family.

For many years, Zhong Xin has always thought that the reason why his mother was punished was because she did something sorry for that man. It wasn't until he was twelve years old that he finally learned that his mother had conceived a child by someone who had not done anything wrong outside, but that she had been defiled, and that the poor mother had died a year after suffering from illness.

In the end, it was his grandparents' fault.

It was the winter of 1982, and the beautiful and kind mother had just turned twenty. In the early eighties, the society was quite conservative, and after the incident, the mother collapsed and almost committed suicide by jumping off the building, but the grandparents did not choose to call the police in order to protect their daughter's reputation.

This may have been a common phenomenon at the time, and even today, many women are ashamed to tell others such things when they are subjected to similar wrongdoings.

On the surface, my grandparents seem to have calmed the matter down. They thought that time would heal all wounds, and as long as no one talked about it again, they could act as if it had never happened. But for the victims, such events are impossible to forget for the rest of their lives.

What they didn't expect was that a month later, they found out that their daughter was pregnant.

A good yellow flower girl was suddenly ruined and pregnant, you can imagine what a terrible thing it was at that time. If it reaches the ears of others, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold my head up and be a man for the rest of my life.

In order to cover up the scandal of unmarried pregnancy, the grandmother's family hurriedly found a matchmaker to blind date their daughter, and finally married their daughter with a random able-bodied man. This man is Zhong Xin's later "father" - Zhong Qingsheng, not only is his conditions very average in all aspects, but his temper is not very good.

The two met less than a month ago and went to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get a marriage certificate. Eight months later, their son was born. In order to cover up the fact that she was pregnant out of wedlock, my grandmother's family bought off the doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, saying that the child was born prematurely.

But the surname Zhong is not a fool, the month of the child's birth is not right, maybe it can be covered up by premature birth, but the child doesn't look like him at all, and this incident always makes him haunted.

In the beginning, he often deceived himself by telling himself that it was normal for children to look like their fathers. Sons, in particular, generally look more like their mothers. However, as time went by, his friends kept making jokes about him, and he felt more and more that something was not quite right.

"Yo, Lao Zhong, your son is so good-looking, he doesn't look like you at all!" A friend said this when he came to the house for a drink.

"The child is like his mother, and his mother is more beautiful." Zhong Qingsheng's answer was obviously a little weak.

"Yes." The friend smiled hesitantly, glanced at the woman who was cooking in the kitchen, smacked his lips, and said with envy, "You said that on your terms, if you want money or not, you want to look good or not, and you can find such a beautiful wife as your sister-in-law, it is really a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes." ”

"That's ......," Zhong Qingsheng replied perfunctorily, his complicated feelings indescribable.

If you think about it carefully, there is no such thing as pie in the sky in this world. With his own conditions, it is not easy to marry a daughter-in-law, let alone marry a woman whose appearance, education, and family conditions are much higher than his own.

Paternity testing was not popular in those days. Although Zhong Qingsheng is not a literate person, he also knows that blood type can verify the parent-child relationship. Of course, this is a very rough method, because there are only so many blood types, and even if he is not his own child, the probability of blood type matching is very high, but he does not understand this.

He took Zhong Xin to the hospital for a blood test behind his wife's back. The results showed that Zhong Qingsheng had blood type A, Zhong Xin had blood type B, and his wife's blood type was type O, which was simply impossible. Zhong Xin is indeed not his son, and the child's biological father must be a man with blood type B or AB blood. He has been deceived for so many years.

With this test result, Zhong Qingsheng went to his mother-in-law's house to make a big fuss. In the face of irrefutable ironclad evidence, the old couple really couldn't hide it anymore, so they confessed the truth painfully. Zhong Qingsheng, who learned the truth, was about to explode his lungs. He cursed the two old men wildly in the most unpleasant words, and finally said to them viciously: "I will divorce your daughter, and I will sue you for fraud." ”

At that time, divorce was already a very humiliating thing, let alone being tainted and pregnant before marriage. If these messy things get out, how will they live in the future? The saliva of the neighbors alone can drown them alive.

The old couple are very face-loving people. They tried their best to beg Zhong Qingsheng, and they couldn't wait to kneel for him. As long as Zhong Qingsheng can help their family keep this secret and not divorce their daughter, they will agree to him on any conditions.

In this way, after an agreement between the two parties, the old couple finally lost their family house to Zhong Qingsheng, which reluctantly dispelled his idea of divorce.

The face was saved, but life has changed since then. Thinking that his flowery wife had been ruined by a certain beast, and that the son he spent money and effort to support was not his species at all, he was depressed every day.

As if to deliberately humiliate him, the child has never called him dad since the day he can remember. Because he always beats his wife unscrupulously in front of his children, calling her a "cheap", and in the end, he can only get disgust and disrespect from his children.

It's a vicious circle. Since then, this unfortunate family has been staging heart-wrenching tragedies every day.

In 1995, thirteen-year-old Zhong Xin was already tired of Zhong Qingsheng's beating and scolding. At that time, his mother had been dead for more than three years, and his grandparents were no longer alive. He doesn't have a family in the true sense of the word, and no one will care about him. He didn't know why he was alive or what the future would become.

In order to reduce the time spent alone with Zhong Qingsheng, Zhong Xin, who had just entered the first year of junior high school, always wandered outside until late before returning home. Even so, the little contact he had every day still made him suffer.

The house is always filled with the pungent smell of tobacco and alcohol, and everywhere you look is a messy scene. From time to time, a woman with heavy makeup and scantily clad would come to the house for the night, and the smell of inferior perfume in the filthy air would almost suffocate him.

In order to avoid conflicts, Zhong Xin has been patient with Zhong Qingsheng's various vices. Until he came home one day, he saw the two disheveled people lying around in the sofa without hesitation, not caring at all that there was an underage child at home, and he suddenly felt a wave of nausea in his stomach.

The countless resentments that had accumulated in my heart were suddenly aroused. He kicked over the wine bottle standing on the table, and shouted at Zhong Qingsheng unbearably: "If you want to do this kind of thing, go outside, don't make the house a miasma." ”

Zhong Qingsheng pushed away the woman who was pressing on his body, sat up, looked up at him, and said disappreciably: "This is my house, I can do whatever I want, you get out of the way for me." ”

"This is my grandmother's house, why do you say it's your house?"

Hearing this, Zhong Qingsheng's face suddenly became gloomy, and he scolded angrily: "Little rabbit cub, don't mention that shameless old thing to me, isn't it fucking bad enough for me to be killed by her?" ”

"Hmph, I don't know who is shameless." Zhong Xin sneered, and sneered, "You are lazy and idle all day long, you don't look like a man at all, and you have to rely on women to support you." ”

"Shut up!"

"I don't! My mother was already in poor health, and in order to support her family, she had to work hard outside to earn money. You're good, but you stay at home every day, drink and play cards, and when you're drunk, you have to beat people. Do you know what your neighbors think of you? They say you're a bad breed and you're not productive......"

"I'll shut you up!"

"If it weren't for you, how could my mother have died of illness at such a young age? The money you spend now is all the money she left me to go to college, and you will be punished sooner or later for doing so! ”

"Shut the fuck up for me!" Zhong Qingsheng shouted hysterically. Seeing that the father and son were arguing more and more, the woman on the sofa finally couldn't sit still. She straightened her messy clothes, pulled Zhong Qingsheng's arm, and played awkwardly, "Okay, okay, don't compete with children as a big man." ”

"Get out of here!" Zhong Qingsheng shook off the woman's hand, the latter was startled, and the whole person froze, and he didn't know who he was talking about. Zhong Xin replied unhurriedly, "If you want to roll, you can get out." ”

"What did you say?" Zhong Qingsheng suddenly stood up from the sofa, his eyes bulging, almost bursting out of his sockets. "Say it again!"

"If you want to get out, you get out."

"See if I don't kill you today." Zhong Qingsheng said as he picked up a wine bottle from the coffee table and walked towards Zhong Xin viciously. The woman hurriedly got up to stop her, but was pushed to the ground. Zhong Xin saw that the momentum was not good, picked up his schoolbag, and rushed out of the house. Then he heard behind him the cracking of beer bottles smashing against the door, and the man cursing uncontrollably.

Enough, Zhong Xin is tired of this kind of life. He didn't understand what he had done wrong and why he was living with such a man. This is not home, and the man in the house is not his father.
