Chapter 3165: Innocence 80
“I… I really should have aborted her back then! I shouldn’t have given birth to her! We can’t afford to have such an insensible daughter!”
“Mom, please, don’t send away…”
I begged Dongyu in a hoarse voice, “Brother, I don’t want to study abroad. I begged Mom, but she wouldn’t listen to . Brother… Does Dad not want anymore? Does Mom not want anymore too?”
“It’s useless whatever you say! I’ve already made arrangents with your aunt! When she returns, I’ll send you away!”
With that, she stood up and walked towards her room.
Dongyu suddenly dropped onto his knees. He couldn’t hold it in anymore and broke down, crying uncontrollably. “Mom! I want her! Even if you don’t want her! I want her! Even if the whole world doesn’t want her, I want her! If you send my sister away, I swear I’ll never forgive you!”
“Disgraceful thing! Silence!”
My father slapped him on the face and pointed at him angrily. “Take back your words!”
“I want her!”
Dongyu was unbelievably stubborn. “You can’t send her away!”
Bam!
He got another slap.
I cried and clung on to my father’s pants. “Dad, stop hitting him! Stop hitting Brother…”
But my father didn’t even look at . He glared at Dongyu, his eyes bloodshot.
My father and brother confronted each other’s gaze for a long ti. Dongyu then said again with great clarity, “I want her!”
Bam!
“I want her!”
Bam!
…
I don’t know how many tis my father slapped him that day. Perhaps it was to establish his authority as the head of the family, or perhaps he felt that Dongyu was too stubborn and he wanted to ta the boy.
However, Dongyu was more stubborn than I thought.
Even though his face was flushed red, he kept repeating, “I want her!”
…
“I want her!”
…
“I want her!”
…
That night, Dongyu was locked away on the balcony while I was being locked up in my room. I leaned against the window and looked at him kneeling on the balcony.
He had his back to and was facing away from the house. The cold wind was getting stronger, but I couldn’t get out. I couldn’t get to his side and kneel with him in the cold night air.
For the next few days, I was locked up in my room. My mother prepared three als a day and brought them to . Other than that, the door was locked from the outside. I had no way of coming into contact with the rest of the world.
I was isolated like a dangerous psychopath.
Until one night, soone suddenly unlocked the door from outside.
I sat up in bed, alard and on guard.
I thought my mother had opened the door and was about to send away in the night, but it was Dongyu who walked into the room.
He had a small bag slung over his shoulder. When he saw , he put his finger to his lips and shushed .
“They’re all asleep!”
He walked in and shut the door lightly behind him. Then he walked over to my bed and whispered, “I stole the keys and so money. I’ll take you away from here, okay?”
“You’re taking away?”
I was stunned and stared at him for a long ti. I couldn’t believe that these words ca out of Dongyu’s mouth.
“Where are we going?”
“Anywhere is fine!”
Dongyu held my hand tightly and smiled encouragingly. “Xiachun, leave this place with . Even if they don’t want you, I do. I’ll stop school and look for a job to support you, okay?”
I was even more stunned. Tears welled up in my eyes.
“What nonsense are you speaking?”
“I’m not speaking nonsense! I’ve been thinking about this for the past two days.”
