Chapter 55: Their Death Was to Her
But obviously, Wei Huai'an underestimated the shamelessness of her parents.
In a normal family, when the child goes home after the college entrance examination, the parents must be shushing the cold and asking for warmth, preparing meals in advance, and letting the child relax.
Wei Huai'an's family is different.
Parents forgot that she took the college entrance examination.
He also plans to squeeze her, a newly free laborer.
Wei Huai'an had just returned home, and as soon as he sat down at the dining table and was about to eat, he heard Wei's father say casually: "Xiaoman, the college entrance examination is over, according to your birthday, you are also an adult." ”
Wei Huai'an glanced at him, he didn't have to think about it, just looking at his eyes, he knew that he must have something else in mind.
Seeing that Wei Huai'an didn't pay attention to him, he didn't take it to heart, made a calm and patriarchal appearance, and educated Wei Huai'an seriously: "You are not young anymore, it's time to take responsibility for your own life." ”
Wei Huai'an saw that he still didn't get down to business, so he just hummed softly and continued to eat slowly.
When Wei Mu saw her attitude, she was suddenly dissatisfied, and said, "What is your attitude?" It's always uh-huh, but it's a complete sentence, like a dumb person! ”
Wei Huai'an didn't have so much strength to argue with them, so he said weakly: "I know." What the hell are you talking about? It's not like I don't know I'm an adult. When I was an adult, why didn't I see you tell me this? ”
They were speechless. After all, it's their fault.
However, Father Wei's ability to change the topic is still good. Although he was also a little dissatisfied with Wei Huai'an's blatant demolition and frowned, he looked as usual after a while, and said to Wei Huai'an with a pleasant face: "Dad told you this, if it doesn't mean anything else." I just want to say that now that you are an adult, you should start taking responsibility for your own life. ”
"Although you have graduated from high school now and come home from vacation, you should go out to work, instead of eating and drinking at home and waiting to die, and rely on us to work to support you."
Wei Huai'an: "......"
She couldn't tell for a moment whether it was irony or serious.
Wei Huai'an once wanted to say, are you serious? Who is it that eats, drinks, and dies? Does she have to make it so clear?
Wei Huai'an sighed deeply, simply raised his eyes and looked at them and asked, "Is there anything else?" Let's finish it in one go. Don't be so tactful. ”
Wei Mu nodded, and followed her words and said, "Yes, we just want to tell you that we will not be at home for the next few days, you can work and cook by yourself." ”
As for where they can go if they don't have a job and are not at home?
Wei Huai'an didn't ask the question.
But she felt that she didn't need to ask this question at all, and she could guess that most of them were going to some gambling houses.
Then in the next few months, Wei Huai'an found that it was not as simple as not being at home for the next few days.
They simply disappeared from the world for a few months, and there was no news at all.
This is for Wei Huai'an...... Actually, it's not much different from these two years.
In fact, it's all the same, she makes her own money to support herself.
The difference is probably that-
She went from eating in the school cafeteria to cooking for herself.
Later, more than a month later, after the admission notice came down, Wei Huaian immediately packed up his things and left.
After Wei Huai'an went to college, he gradually became less in contact with his parents.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, after Wei Huai'an chose the course, they rarely interfered in Wei Huai'an's affairs anymore. Wei Huai'an guessed, maybe not because their desire to control had decreased. Maybe it's just because they're simply "busy" and forgetful.
It's like in the past few months after Wei Huai'an's college entrance examination, they probably didn't dislike Wei Huai'an, or they didn't have any family affection for her, but they had something more important in their hearts - gambling.
Yes, during the period when Wei Huai'an didn't have much contact with them later, they were completely addicted to the money-eating game of gambling.
It was a black vortex, and perhaps they knew they were in a dangerous zone that sucked themselves into the core, but it was too late. Their greed has overwhelmed them, and they have gradually lost sight of anything else.
Wei Huai'an watched them play crazy with a cold eye and did not do anything to stop them.
Cold-blooded?
Maybe. But as parents, how do they go, do they still need their children to intervene? In that case, it would be too much of a failure.
As long as she wasn't involved, she didn't bother to pay attention to them.
And as far as Wei Huai'an's observation is concerned, according to their life routine of reversing day and night, drinking and gambling every day, it is estimated that the body will not be able to survive for long.
Sure enough, just when Wei Huai'an graduated and was already making a name for himself in the painting circle, something happened to them.
On a rainy night, they were so drunk and confused that they insisted on driving home by themselves.
The rain of that night, stained with the dirt of human blood and the scorching smell of gasoline, washed the earth over and over again, drowning out the cries of the wreckage crushed under the broken cart, and carrying the souls of the already vain out of this realm.
——
When Wei Huai'an arrived, he could only see two black coffins placed in the mourning hall.
Surrounded by white wreaths that had already been decorated and relatives who stood next to her and waited for her to come.
Wei Huai'an's eyes swept over their faces one by one, taking in all the expressions in their eyes - greed, pity, and the lack of restraint for the couple before their deaths, drunk and dreaming of death, and finally exchanged for the ridicule of the current tragedy.
She heard them say—
"It's so pitiful, I lost my parents at a young age, and now I really become alone. The little girl must be sad, right? One sighed sympathetically. As he spoke, his tone faintly revealed his commanding point.
"Why do you think she would feel bad?" The other man standing beside the man seemed to say so, and then said in a voice that he thought no one else could hear, "Don't you know? The parents were not responsible when they were alive. They had a huge amount of money in their hands for demolition, and then they began to do whatever they wanted, drunk and dreaming of death every day, and they didn't even care about their daughter. ”
"Now that they're dead, don't mention how happy the little girl is."
Most of the two talkers came over to see the lively neighbors after watching the news.
- Yes, Wei Huai'an's parents died in a drunk driving accident on a rainy night.
There are passers-by who watch the excitement, and of course there will be those who have long been eyeing the demolition money in the hands of Wei Huai'an's parents, and said hypocritically: "We will take care of Xiaoman." ”
……
However, Wei Huai'an didn't care about what they were talking about at this time.
Wei Huai'an walked to the two coffins, and his mood was neither sad nor happy as they said.
Her hand gently rested on the coffin and stroked it, but her mind flashed all kinds of strange acts that they had done to her. She remembered their absurd, boring lives, but she didn't feel anything in her heart.
Wei Huai'an looked at the coffin in a trance, and confusion flashed in his eyes that had always been clear.
Died like that?
The person who used to control her all the time...... He's dead?
In the future, she will really be the only one in this world.
After realizing this, Wei Huai'an pursed his lips, his throat tightened, and he couldn't say a word. But he couldn't shed any tears, after all, Wei Huai'an had no feelings for them.
But......
Their existence has always been a disgusting but necessary existence for Wei Huai'an. Because of their existence, Wei Huai'an occasionally needed to return to that small house and lie to himself that he was a family man.
And now, she can't fool herself completely - she no longer has any anchor in this world.
Wei Huai'an closed his eyes slightly, and in the vision that no one noticed, he slowly evoked a completely relaxed smile.
She was free.
After that, no one can control her anymore.
