Chapter 52： Teenager's knot

Chapter 52: Youngster’s Heart

In the live broadcast room, the only sound left was the boy's whimpering.

The barrage was full of comfort and persuasion, and no one was gossiping, because no one dared to make trouble in front of Pei Anzhu, a real master.

After the young man had cried enough, he raised his head and asked Pei Anzhu:

“I really don’t want to forgive them, but reconciling with them is my grandfather’s last wish. Qingzhu Immortal Lord, can you tell me, what should I do?”

"You are under a lot of pressure now and need to talk to relieve your depression." Pei Anzhu said, "Would you mind telling me the story of you and your grandfather?"

The young man hesitated for a moment and nodded.

Since his grandfather passed away, he actually has a lot of things on his mind, but there is no one around him who can understand him.

Now, the golden retriever left behind by his grandfather has died, which has become the last straw that breaks his mood. He doesn't care that the live broadcast room is full of strangers, so he can't wait to talk -

The boy was raised by his grandfather.

When he was young, his parents went out to work in order to earn money. Since it was inconvenient to take him with them, they left him in the countryside and depended on his grandfather.

Grandpa lives in the countryside and makes a living by farming. His life is not rich, but it is stable.

My parents only come back once a year for the Chinese New Year, and they leave their hometown after only a few days. The teenager asked them several times if they could take him with them, but his parents refused.

They say that the city has a lot of expenses. If you support one more person, you will have more expenses.

They also said that when they earn more money next year, they will take the young man over to live with him.

So, the young man waited year after year with expectations. Every time he got the result, "I will definitely take you with me next year", but it never came true every next year.

Over time, the young man also gave up.

Because the boy spends little time with his parents and has weak feelings, he is only close to his grandfather.

By the time his parents discovered that their child was no longer close to them, he was already in the sixth grade of elementary school. His mother blamed his grandfather for not educating him well and causing him to separate from his biological parents.

He also said that grandpa, a bad old man, had a bad heart. Just because he was not brought to the city to enjoy the blessings, he instigated the children not to get close to their parents. He was a bad heart.

That day when the boy came home from school, he heard his mother yelling at his grandfather and saw his father's cowardly retreat. Grandpa was so angry that his blood pressure soared and he fainted.

Grandpa is already old, and his health has collapsed since then.

But the mother still said that grandpa did it on purpose, just to deduct more money from her, and even asked grandpa why he didn't die.

These sharp words, word for word, were like knives, piercing the young man's heart.

So the boy had a big quarrel with his parents.

He said that his grandfather never provoked a relationship between him and his parents because they never paid attention to him. He could not feel the love of father and mother from them, so he did not get close to them.

He said that if he had to choose between them and his grandfather, he would rather choose to stay with his grandfather and live in the countryside all his life.

He also said that he would sever ties with his parents and never have any contact with them from now on.

When the parents heard this, they were furious. They felt that the old man was brainwashing their son, so they forcibly took him to the city regardless of his son's wishes.

After arriving in the city, the young man realized that "high expenses and difficult life" were all excuses.

His parents had already bought a house in the city, had a stable job, and even gave birth to a younger brother. As soon as his younger brother was born, he had a nanny who took good care of him and provided him with food, drink, and clothing.

Compared to him who lived a hard life in the countryside since he was a child, he is completely different.

From then on, the young man felt hatred in his heart.

The admiration for his parents and the desire to have them all disappeared in an instant, and he lost his sense of identity with this family.

He is a marginalized member of the family, unable to blend in or be accepted.     In his heart, his only relative is his grandfather.

The teenager wanted to return to the countryside, but his parents didn't allow him. They sent him to a military-style school without giving him pocket money or a mobile phone.

He cannot get out and cannot communicate with the outside world.

In this case, he spent three years in junior high school, and in the summer vacation of the year he graduated from junior high school, he finally came out of that closed school.

He defrauded his younger brother of hundreds of pocket money and ran back to his hometown.

But what was waiting for him was not his grandfather's kind smile and warm embrace, but a patient lying on the bed, unable to move, and his bones were broken.

It turns out that grandpa accidentally fell while working in the fields.

The old man is getting older and is most afraid of falling. After falling this time, his whole energy and spirit were taken away, and his body collapsed directly.

What’s more, grandpa also broke his leg.

If he could be sent to the hospital in time and receive good care, grandpa could have recovered, but no one from those cruel parents cared about him.

Not only did she not come back to take care of her, she didn’t even want to get money for her medical treatment.

As a result, grandpa did not receive good treatment, and it dragged on day by day until he became like this.

In the end, the young man only had time to see his grandfather for the last time.

After seeing him, grandpa's breath that he had been holding on disappeared in an instant, and he no longer had the motivation to live.

At that time, the only people who accompanied my grandfather were the young man and a golden retriever that he had raised for many years.

When my grandfather was dying, he saw that the young man was resentful towards his parents, so he said:

“Xiaowei, don’t hate your parents, it’s not been easy for them these years.”

“They worked hard to gain a foothold in the big cities. Now they finally have a small family business, and your life will be much easier in the future.”

“You are not yet an adult, they still have the responsibility to raise you, and you will also have the obligation to support them in the future. If you and them are always at odds with each other, the family will always be filled with quarrels and hostility, which is not conducive to family harmony.”

“Listen to grandpa, forget these things, go back to the city, and live a good life with your parents.”

“Reconciliation with them is also reconciliation with yourself. No one can live with hatred for a lifetime, that will be painful.”

After saying this, Grandpa asked Golden Retriever to take his place and stay with the boy, and then he died.

Later, the young man invited the villagers to hold his grandfather’s funeral and notified his parents to return to his hometown to attend. After the funeral, he took the golden retriever with him and followed his parents back to the city.

He can't let it go, he can't forget it, and he can't reconcile it at all.

“I really hate them.”

After telling all the stories, the boy clenched his hands into fists:

“They gave birth to me, but they didn’t care about me, and they blamed me for not being close to them.”

“They were supposed to be filial to grandpa, but they left him alone in the countryside and ignored him. They were not even willing to pay for treatment.”

“They seem to be my parents, but their attitudes towards me and my brother are very different.”

“They raised my younger brother carefully and paid close attention to his life and studies, but they left me alone. I rebelled, skipped school, and wore strange clothes just to attract their attention, but they treated me as if I didn’t exist.”

“Later, I became obsessed with games. Only in games can I find a sense of existence and identity. Every time I play games, only Golden Retriever is with me.”

“After my grandfather died, he was my only relative in this family.”
