Chapter 133 The Child Kidnapped by Morality
Chapter 133 The Child Kidnapped by Morality
This is a story I heard.
Wang Hailong's father was a bastard. Ever since he could remember, his father, Wang Tianci, had beaten his mother every day.
When he was five years old, his mother couldn't stand the domestic violence and ran away secretly.
After drinking, Wang Tianci returned home and couldn't find anyone to vent his anger on, so he took out all his anger on Wang Hailong.
They hung him up and beat him with belts until the belts broke. They beat him for five or six hours until he was almost dead.
If his grandmother hadn't noticed something was wrong and hadn't taken his uncle to break down the door and rushed him to the hospital, he would have died long ago.
Not long after he was discharged from the hospital, Wang Tianci was sentenced to five years in prison for theft.
He was released from prison five years later, but committed robbery on the street again two days later. The nature of the crime was so serious that he was sentenced to another seven years.
Wang Hailong dropped out of middle school at the age of 15 because his grandmother and uncle couldn't afford to support him. Unable to find a job as a minor, he used connections to find a security guard position. However, he was soon reported as a minor and lost his job. He subsequently worked a variety of jobs, including waiter and dishwasher, but never saved any money.
At 17, Wang Tianci returned. He continued to drink and cause trouble every day. He took the hoe he used to hoe the fields at home and hit Wang Hailong. Fortunately, he dodged quickly. The hoe even made a hole over 20 centimeters in the bed.
One day, Wang Tianci drank again, and this time he hit a wall.
He saw a luxury car and kicked it, completely deforming it. The owner demanded 50 yuan in compensation, but he didn't have the money and refused. The owner then beat him up and sent him to the hospital, where he became paralyzed.
No one wanted to take care of him, not even Wang Hailong.
He hasn't even supported me for a single day, hasn't fulfilled his responsibilities for a single day, so why should I serve him? If I serve him well, will he beat me up in the future?
But Wang Hailong's grandmother and uncle didn't want to. They kept brainwashing him, "No matter how bad he treated you, he's still your biological father. How can a father and son hold grudges overnight? No matter how wrong he is, you can't be unfilial. After all, he gave birth to you..."
These words had some relevance to Wang Hailong when he was little. But now that he was almost an adult, he had his own sense of right and wrong and didn't want to be held hostage to morals. These words had no effect on him. But he also felt that, after all, he was raised by his grandmother and uncle, so he had to obey them and not let them down.
His strong sense of morality and his desire to break away from his original family kept tearing him apart, making him very confused.
So he found an emotional connection. The host there suggested that he leave his hometown and stay away from it. "As for your grandmother and uncle, you should stay away from them too. Because your father is also your grandmother's son and your uncle's brother. They don't want to take care of their children themselves, so how can they let you, a child, take care of them? Besides, a father like that doesn't deserve to be a father at all!"
He was just 18 years old and could leave home. However, having left school at 15, he had no skills and the jobs he could find were very demanding. Especially now, with the bottom line in any industry being very competitive, he had no idea where his future lay.
"If I could be born in a normal family, I wonder if I would have a different future?" Wang Hailong asked.
"Do you want to do it again?"
"think."
"I'll help you"
……
Time goes back to the year when Wang Hailong graduated from junior high school.
He actually had good grades and was admitted to a key high school. However, the tuition, living expenses, and materials required for high school were quite high, and his grandmother and uncle were unwilling to spend any more money on him.
It was nothing. It was already very difficult to raise him to this age. So Wang Hailong didn't think of taking revenge on them.
But with Jiang around, he didn't have to worry about money.
"Xiaolong, grandma really doesn't have the money to support your education. How about we stop going to school? Didn't Xiaoyong from our village go to work at Foxconn? He earns several thousand a month. I'll save this money for you so you can get married in the future."
"Grandma, I don't want to work. I want to study. I don't want to be like my dad and accomplish nothing in his life."
"How come you still hold a grudge against your father? Luckily he's not here right now. If he were to come out and hear you say this, wouldn't he feel bad?"
"Tsk, he'll feel bad?" Wang Hailong said, "Grandma, don't say anything. I'm going to work during the summer vacation tomorrow. I'll earn my tuition by myself, so you and Uncle won't have to spend money. And if I have extra money, I'll return all the money you've spent on me over the years."
"What nonsense are you talking about? You're my grandson, isn't it natural for me to spend money on you? Why are you still not paying me back?"
I have no intention of paying it back. When Wang Tianci comes out and needs him to clean up the mess, moral blackmail will be even more justified.
Wang Tianming, on the other hand, had a glint in his eyes. Over the years, he had spent a lot of money on his nephew at his mother's request.
It's not much, actually. Besides basic living expenses, I give my mother and nephew 500 yuan a month. But it's been a long time. My nephew went through six years of elementary school and three years of middle school. That adds up to around 6 or 3 yuan.
Wang Hailong did not miss the flash in his uncle's eyes, but he did not say anything.
"Grandma, I'm very grateful to you and Uncle for raising me. If I make money, it's only natural for me to pay you back. Besides, you're old, and Uncle has his own family to support, which is not easy. Let's just leave it at that."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her grandson, Grandma Wang sighed and said nothing more.
The next day, Wang Hailong packed some simple clothes and headed to the county town. Because he was only 15, many things were inconvenient for him. So Sheng Jiang rented a house for him to live in.
Then I took him to scratch the lottery ticket, and whoa! He won 20 yuan?!
Excited, he immediately went home and returned all the money to his grandmother in front of his uncle. He also paid an extra 2 yuan, saying that this was all interest.
As for why he won 20 yuan instead of 200 million? Since ancient times, money has always moved people's hearts. Once the Wang family knew that he won 200 million yuan instead of 20 yuan, they would inevitably feel resentful. At that time, the family would not even be able to maintain the surface of peace, and so much trouble would have been caused for no reason.
He only won 20 yuan, and after paying off the debt, the remaining amount was enough to support Wang Hailong's graduation from high school and even his tuition and living expenses for his freshman year.
As for whether he will still have money to spend by then, that depends on himself, because he is already an adult.
Wang Hailong was very bright. Free from the worries of family matters, he focused on his studies. He completed three years of high school knowledge in just two years and even took the college entrance exam a year early.
The college entrance examination results came out soon, and he was admitted to Jinghua University with the highest score in the school, becoming the school's first miracle.
Many reporters and media outlets came to interview him, and he became a hot topic. Curious netizens also dug up his background.
"This child is so pitiful, having such a useless father."
"Isn't it? Not all parents love their children. This kind of domestic violence father should be executed by slow slicing."
"It's like a sword sharpened by grinding, and the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold. Coming from such a poor family, he still has such a good mentality and was able to get the highest score in the city! A genius is a genius, and no matter what the environment, it can't obscure his brilliance."
That year was exactly the same year Wang Tianci was released from prison. Because Wang Hailong was already a celebrity, many people recognized him when he was released. Wherever he went, people were talking about him.
Just like in his previous life, he'd hit a wall, deforming the car. The owner, enraged, beat him, leaving him paralyzed. After he was released from the ICU, the doctor said he might be bedridden for the rest of his life.
In this life, Wang Hailong is not at home. Wang Tianming said he was working away from home and was not at home either. After taking care of her adopted son for two days, Grandma Wang no longer wanted to take care of him.
She didn't enjoy the blessings of her eldest son, but suffered a lot of sins. She was not happy about it either.
But the eldest son is his son after all, so he called Wang Hailong.
"Grandma, if you want to take care of me, do it yourself. Don't call me anymore. He's not my father. He hasn't raised me for a single day since I was born. Ever since my mom passed away, he's either been in jail or on his way to jail. Every time he gets out, he beats me half to death. I'm still alive today purely because I'm lucky. When he's 60, the most I can give him is a living allowance. That's all I've given him for giving birth to me, nothing more."
"How could you be like this, kid? How can there be an overnight grudge between a father and son? He is your biological father. No matter what he did, you have the responsibility to take care of him and provide for his old age. Otherwise, what's the difference between you and this ungrateful person?"
"I've already said that when he's 60, I'll give him 200 yuan a month for living expenses. As for taking care of him, he never took care of me, so why should I? If you want to take care of him, that's your business. Don't try to blackmail me."
Wang Tianming on the side was furious. "Xiaolong, no matter what, you have to come back to see your dad, right? He knows he's wrong now. He's lying in bed looking pitiful, nagging about you all day long. After all, he gave birth to you. It's not right for you not to come back and see him."
"No return"
"How could you be like this, kid?"
"How am I? What should I do? I still say the same thing, if you are willing to take care of me, then do so. If you are not willing to take care of me, then forget it. Don't use morality to blackmail me. I have no morals, so no one can blackmail me!"
"Wang Hailong, I think you've grown too independent. Was it easy for your grandmother to raise you? You don't even listen to her anymore! You're such an ungrateful person!"
"Isn't it easy? When I was five, I could cook, wash, work in the fields, and serve her. Besides, I've already paid you back the money you used to support me over the years, plus an extra twenty thousand in interest. What else do you want?"
"You say I'm an ungrateful person, so be it. I don't care."
After saying that, Wang Hailong hung up the phone.
Wang Tianming was dumbfounded and looked at Grandma Wang, "Mom, what should I do? If I had known that this kid couldn't be raised well, I would have just left him to fend for himself."
"What can we do? We can take care of him for one day if we can. When Wang Hailong starts making money in the future, we can use it to ask him for more money. After all, we are taking care of his father for him."
"But looking at Xiaolong's attitude, will he give us this money?"
"He's still a student and doesn't have much money. When he graduates, I heard that graduates from his school all earn pretty good salaries. If he doesn't pay, we'll expose him and make him jobless."
Wang Hailong thought about it and, with the help of Jiang, ran back to his hometown in stealth.
Looking at Wang Tianci lying paralyzed on the bed, he laughed out loud with mockery in his eyes, "Hahahahahaha! You old man, you have come to this day too?! Don't you like operating the sewing machine? Why don't you go? With someone like you, I'm afraid that if you go to jail, it will be difficult for you to get out safely, right?"
"This is the third time you've been out, right? Not long after my mom gave birth to me, you got into a fight with someone and cut their head open, and you were gone for three years.
When you were five years old, you were released from prison. You realized you couldn't hit outsiders, so you only hit family members. You beat my mom away, and then you took your anger out on me. You never even visited me during my long hospital stay. Not long after, you got into trouble again and were sentenced to another five years.
When you were ten, you got out and started beating me. Running out of money, you started getting into trouble again and went back to jail for another seven years.
I'm 17 now. Counting from the time I was born until now, have you ever taken care of me for even a single day? What kind of father are you? You still want me to take care of you? Dream on!
Wang Tianci's eyes were fierce, "Stop talking nonsense! Pour me some water."
"Want some water? Beg me!"
"Fuck you! I'm your father, how dare you talk to me like that?!"
Wang Hailong said nothing. He looked and saw there was no water in the thermos. He got up and boiled a pot of water.
After the water boiled, he picked up the kettle and poured it on Wang Tianci.
Wang Tianci rolled over in pain, his body covered in blisters, which made anyone who saw him develop trypophobia.
"You beast! You bastard, how dare you do this to your father and me!"
"Yes, I am a beast, and you are the old beast!"
Wang Hailong boiled another pot of water and poured it directly into Wang Tianci's mouth. In an instant, Wang Tianci was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
Wang Hailong was very happy to see this. After thinking about it, he still felt unsatisfied, so he hung Wang Tianci from the beam and started beating him with his belt to remove the blisters from the burns.
Eh—it hurts just looking at it.
Wang Hailong left only after he had beaten him to the point of dying.
Sheng Jiang created a false scene in which Wang Tianci died of suffocation, and no one could find out the cause of death.
Grandma Wang and Wang Tianming had hoped to use Wang Tianci to extort money from Wang Hailong. But then they discovered he was dead. It was over. They had nothing left to gain.
Sheng Jiang thought these two people were too annoying. So she fired Wang Tianming's job. She also made it impossible for Wang Tianming to find a decent job. He could only do odd jobs to earn a basic living.
As for Grandma Wang, her monthly pension of more than 170 yuan is enough for her to spend.
In this life, Wang Hailong successfully graduated from Tsinghua University, studied for a master's degree and a doctorate, and went abroad for further studies. He then returned to China and began researching aircraft carriers, living a very low-key life.
