Extra chapter (2) • Five dollars
In the evening, the sky was gray, and dark clouds covered the sky, revealing only a trace of white, and the bleak light did not appear bright.
It's only six or seven o'clock in the evening, but it's still as hazy as night. The filaments of shining light in the sky fell densely, and under this kind of nourishment, everything seemed extraordinarily peaceful.
Outside a small simple house, a boy of six or seven years old knelt in the rain, silently facing the woman in front of him.
The woman's voice was not loud, but she was very sad and sad. She pointed at the boy and kept scolding the boy until they were completely wet.
"Lin Xun, why do you want to steal things, people are not short of ambitions, didn't your mother teach you?" The woman cried and scolded, tears dripping like a kite with a broken string, and even sobbing became blurred.
The boy couldn't hold back any longer, he cried and shouted, "I didn't! I didn't steal!"
"You still say no! They found the five dollars in your school bag! Are we short of five dollars in our house? Can't we feed you, are we going to steal it? You disappointed my mother so much!"
"They did it on purpose!"
"Shut up!"
"Smack!" The boy stopped talking as a loud slap hit Lin Xun's face. The slap slapped him crookedly, but he slowly straightened up again.
"I didn't ......" The tears were no longer distinguishable under the rain, and his mother hugged him in distress, crying even louder.
At some point, there was already one more person behind them, and it was a burly man with cold eyebrows.
"Daddy......"
The man did not speak, but took his hand and led him step by step into the distance.
"Dad, where are we going?"
He still didn't speak, but led him to the side of the road. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, his eyes were already red from crying, and the confusion in his heart became more and more intense.
The man stopped, looked at the endless stream of vehicles on the road, the man smiled bitterly, and looked up to the sky and sighed. It seems to hate God, hate oneself, and seem to be laughing at this society, laughing at this world where there is no distinction between right and wrong, and black and white are reversed.
"Dad, don't you even believe me?"
The man finally spoke,
"Xun'er, Dad believes in you, but no one in this society will believe you. This world is a world of rich people, a snobbish society, and no one will sympathize with anyone else.
I know everything you feel, Dad has experienced ten times more hardships than you, and I originally thought that I could live an ordinary life by trying to be an ordinary person......
In this sinister society, the law cannot protect us, and those so-called high-ranking officials are just bullying the poor with the state's money......
Xun'er, Dad has said so much, I just want to tell you one thing, in this society that is piled up with all kinds of evil money, only by putting in hard work can you get ahead and not be bullied......"
"Daddy......"
Lin Xun looked at his father in dismay, and his heart suddenly tensed, he seemed to understand something.
"In this world, no matter what you do, you can only rely on yourself. Dad is useless, he can't give you a rich life, and now, that's all Dad can bring you......"
Suddenly, he let go of his hand and began to walk step by step into the road. He walked very slowly and hard, and every step was a nostalgia and hatred for the world, and every step was extremely heavy. The so-called happy life is just a fairy tale story.
His wife and son will eventually become painful and beautiful memories that remain in this world.
He walked to the middle of the road, turned around, and smiled at Lin Xun. That smile may be the most beautiful thing he left in this world.
Lin Xun's throat seemed to be blocked, he couldn't say a word, and his feet were like lead, and he couldn't take a step.
Suddenly, his father suddenly disappeared from his sight, and before he could react, a group of people had surrounded a car, and the pool of blood that flowed far away also flowed all the way to his feet.
His dad will never come back......
