“Jeez, your sister came to see you, isn’t that a good thing, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Yuan was a bit confused.
“That is, aren’t you and your sister on good terms, usually when I see you guys talking on the phone, you’re all talking and laughing, and now that brother and sister are meeting, it’s touching!” Zhang Hui also wondered, and then smiled thievishly, “By the way, Song Chun, what does your sister look like?”
“No, you guys don’t know.” Song Chun sighed heavily and sat down on his butt, scratching his hair with a difficult face, “I’ve been lying to my sister, I told her that I was doing well in school, I was the man of the hour, the bearer of the school, and I also had a small business and made a lot of money, now she suddenly came over, I must have been exposed ah!”
“What?”
Zhang Hui was stunned and slapped Song Chun’s head, “Song Chun, are you stupid, can you even make such a joke? You don’t even have to pay tax for bragging, you’re talking nonsense to your sister, we’re both 24k pure hangers-on, and you’re bragging that you’re the school’s big brother, why are you being unkind to your sister? If you ask me, it’s your own fault!”
“But that’s nothing.” Lu Yuan was also relieved in his heart, just now looking at Song Chun’s pale face, he was really shocked, he thought that something big and important had happened.
It turned out that he was just worried that the bull he had bragged about had been punctured.
“You can just confess to your sister that you lied to her before, that’s all. Lu Yuan added.
“No, brothers, you don’t know the inside story.”
The two men’s consolation did not ease Song Chun’s emotions, and he was still sitting on the ground in a dishevelled manner, looking at Lu Yuan and Zhang Hui.
Judging from the expression on his face, it was really time to say something sincere.
“My family is actually very poor, my father broke his leg in a factory accident when I was in junior high school, and because my family has little power, they only compensated me with a few tens of thousands of dollars, just enough to treat my father’s injuries, my mother eloped with a man and left a year later because of this, leaving me and my sister in primary school behind.”
“He couldn’t work because he had a broken leg, so he had to go out to sell pancakes and snacks, and he had to get up at 4am every morning. Sometimes there are people who bully him for his disability and don’t pay him, and he can’t get away when the city police come.
“This doesn’t earn much money, but for the sake of his family, Dad still goes out on the stall every day, because he can’t do anything else.”
“My sister was very understanding, at first she was very young, but then, she slowly understood the family situation and would help my dad to sell pancakes with his stall every time she was on holiday, but just one day, in her junior year, her cla*s teacher called my dad and said that my sister had not come to cla*s for a week and asked my dad if my sister was sick, my dad froze at that time My father was stunned, because my sister still got up early every day to go to school and came home at night with her backpack.”
“So that night, my sister came home with her backpack once again, my dad blocked her and questioned why she didn’t go to school and where the hell she had gone to fool around, at first my sister didn’t admit it, then my dad said the cla*s teacher had called and my sister stopped talking, no matter how much my dad asked her.”
“My dad was furious, he thought my sister must have been uneducated and had learned badly from the punks, so he beat her severely, and while he was beating her, an envelope and a brand new radio fell off my sister, my dad picked up the envelope and on it was written in five big letters ‘Happy Father’s Day’. Inside the envelope was a thick stack of ten and a half dollars in gross checks.”
“The money in the envelope and the radio were all money she had saved from selling flowers to give my dad a present for Father’s Day.”
“After my father knew, hugged his sister and cried, I can now appreciate my father’s mood at that time, must be particularly relieved at the same time, but also particularly self-condemnation particularly sad, that night, my father called me, said this thing, the next day, I went back home once …… ”
“I know.” Lu Yuan heard here, can’t help but nod heavily, “that time is freshman year, you suddenly said you want to go home, me and old Zhang asked you what happened you didn’t say, Magzhe cla*s or I help you answer to.”
“Yes.” Song Chun leaned on the wall, eyes slightly red, tears gently flooded, continued, “I returned home the next afternoon, that day my father made an exception not out of the stall, made delicious food for me and my sister, saw my sister beaten by my father in bed, I also cried, my father also cried, while smearing my sister with medicine, he also cursed himself, while slapping himself, said I’m sorry for us siblings, I can’t let us have a good life.”
“Then he told my sister that he wanted her to go to school, that he wanted me to go to school too, that he could pay for the school fees and living expenses all by himself and told us not to worry about it.”
“I didn’t sleep a wink that night, I thought a lot that night, I suddenly resented myself, I was already an adult and a man, didn’t I have a responsibility to do anything for my family? Should I just let my dad be alone, a disabled man, to support the family?”
“So, when I went back to school, I started lying to my sister, telling her that I was doing well at school, that a lot of people liked me and respected me, that I got good grades and was a club leader, and that I was a big hit at school. The reason I said that was to make my sister happy, to make my father happy, and although it was a lie to them, it was a way to let them know that my brother, knew that my son was doing well in school, and I think it was a way to give them a little comfort and happiness in their suffering!”
“Later, because my sister is in high school, the expenses are also a little bigger, dad’s pressure is even greater, in order to relieve dad’s pressure, I also began to work and study, usually squeeze out a little money, send it home, in order to let dad and sister use the money with confidence, I will continue to lie to them that I am in school business, earned a lot of money, dad and sister are very happy. ”
I was a loser, a coward, I could only prove that I was a man by deceiving, but I didn’t really use my hardships as motivation to really struggle, I played games every day and muddled through school, not only was I not a man of the hour, I was a hanger-on I’m not only not liked by many people, I’m even despised by many people, I’m a wretch, I’m, I’m so useless!”
Song Chun cried out with a snotty nose and a tear in her eye.
The emotions were finally out of control.
Yes, there is always a day when the deceit will be exposed. Although the lie can be exchanged for a moment of peace, the emotions will build up and once they burst, it will be a human tragedy.
“How many people in the world can really use suffering as a motivation to succeed? We are all just ordinary people, what you have done is already very good! I, Zhang Hui, am also like this, alas!” Zhang Hui also listened with his eyes slightly moistened, and said with a long sigh.
“But my sister is coming today.”
Song Chun’s face turned into a bitter gourd, obviously struggling inwardly, “As soon as my sister comes, she will know that the brother she thought was a good eater at school and a businessman is actually just a poor wretch with no money! A big liar! My image in my sister’s eyes will go down the drain! I am no longer worthy of being her brother! She must have come to see me because it’s my birthday, but I don’t even have enough money to treat her to a meal at Parkside! My sister has come so far to see me, or to celebrate my birthday, can I only treat her to a canteen?”
“Don’t be afraid! We can still go to Parkside Garden for a meal if we put our heads together!” Zhang Hui said as he took out his mobile phone and looked at it, “I still have over three hundred dollars, I’ve transferred it all to you!”
“Yes, Song Chun, it’s okay, your sister is our sister, since she is here, we must receive her well, I have more than a thousand here, it’s not a small matter to go to Parkside Garden.”
Lu Yuan certainly did not have more than a thousand, nor more than ten million, the card he was using now should have several tens of billions.
Of course, these tens of billions were simply fractions of a penny to him.
But taking out a thousand or so for now was surely enough for a meal.
“Holy Sh*t, Old Lu, why are you so F**king rich all of a sudden, more than a thousand, tsk, for such a period of time, you’re not getting rich, are you!” Zhang Hui saw that Lu Yuan had transferred a thousand to Song Chun, and immediately tsked.
“Also, didn’t you brag that you were the man of the hour on campus, don’t be afraid, we’ll both be your little brothers, hey, when the time comes, in front of your sister, one mouthful of Brother Pure is called Brother Pure, what do you say?” Zhang Hui said with a smile as his eyes suddenly twinkled.
“Yes, old Zhang is right, Brother Pure, let’s go, let’s go pick up our sister?” Lu Yuan also laughed and said.
“You guys, you’re really my good buddies! Knowing you is my Song Chun’s luck in this life!”
Song Chun was truly grateful beyond words, he knew very well the families of Lu Yuan and Zhang Hui, we were all poor buddies, but this friendship, it really transcended the existence of money.
“Good, let’s go and pick up our sister!”
