In the year when I was in junior high school, my father was sentenced to seven years of prison punishment for intentional injury.
Before that day, no one, including me, would have thought that the old man, who always had a hunchback and had been in bed for a lifetime, would be so fierce that he would stab people into disability with a knife.
In addition to sadness, I was full of regret for all this, because the man who had taught me to endure everything since I was a child. He worked in the factory and was bullied by the leaders all day long. The man I looked down on from the bottom of my heart would mention that knife for me.
So far, the scene of that day was still vivid in my mind. The sound of police cars and ambulance hit the sky above the campus. The teachers and students ran out to watch the scene of bustle. In the crowd, my eyes were dull. I watched my father was handcuffed by several policemen and then sent to the police car.
Unlike me, he was at a loss. Before getting in the car, he looked back and found me in the crowd. His lips moved slightly and he said nothing, but I could tell that he was saying, "Take care of your mother."
The day my mother and I came out of the court, there was a light rain in the sky. In the rain, my mother did not blame me or cry out loud. She just touched my head and whispered, "Xiao Huo, your father's matter, take it as a lesson. From now on, you have to be sensible and don't make trouble again, understand?"
Tears poured down my cheeks, and I nodded non-stop.
After that incident, I studied at home for three months and didn't go anywhere. On the one hand, I deeply blamed myself in my heart, which made me confused all day long, and I was afraid of the revenge from others.
However, whether it was a blessing or a curse, it could not be avoided in the end. The school called and said that I would be in the middle of the exam soon, so I had to go to school. In desperation, I had to carry my schoolbag and went back to school.
When I sat down on the seat, everyone looked at me with a strange look. I knew that was a look of disdain and disgust.
"Wang Huo, why are you here?"
Li Zhaoxue, who was sitting at the same table with him, was shocked when she saw him, and at the same time, she avoided him with her eyes.
I glanced at Li Qixue, who was wearing a short skirt, revealing her long and slender legs. Although she was in junior high school, she was well developed, which was rare for girls in our class.
Because she was too excited, her chest trembled.
If it had been in the past, I would have been overjoyed. But since that thing happened, I just wanted to vomit.
"I have paid the tuition fees. Why can't I come? Do you want me to die? In this way, no one will know what you have done?" I ridiculed expressionlessly.
Li Chengxue's pretty face suddenly turned pale. She lowered her voice and said, "Wang Huo, I'm very grateful for saving me that night, but it's impossible between us. Your family is poor, and now your father..."
Hearing her shameless words, I was so angry that I regretted that I had meddled in other people's business.
A woman like her should be severely punished by the wicked.
I gritted my teeth and said, "Why was I blind at that time? I even fell in love with a woman like you. You still have the face to mention my dad. If it weren't for you, how could I have gone to shoot Zhao Hong's brick? In this way, his father wouldn't have come to the school to make trouble, and my father wouldn't have stabbed his father!"
"Wang Huo, I know you have a hard time now. I don't care whether you believe it or not, but I don't like it. So I still want to remind you that Zhao Hong has been discharged from the hospital a few days ago and asked around for your information. If he knows that you go back to school, he will not let you go..."
I interrupted her coldly and said in a low voice, "Whether I'm dead or alive, what does it have to do with you?"
