"That's because..." Xu Damin leaned close to his ear and said slowly: "I am his son..."
Xu Erlong opened his eyes wide and his pupils shrank violently, revealing a hint of danger: "Xu Damin, are you looking for death? What are you talking about?"
"Don't believe it? Then ask him. He has no shame to say this. He entered the wrong room after drinking and defiled my mother, so he had me. Therefore, he owes us." Xu Damin raised his eyebrows and raised his eyebrows.
, there is also a hint of hatred.
In my heart, something like a belief suddenly collapsed.
Xu Erlong clenched his fists tightly and then loosened them.
Until now, what is there that you still don’t understand?
Who is the father he admires so much?
He always thought that his father was a tolerant, responsible and dedicated man who had been selflessly dedicating himself to the whole family.
The result is this?
The doctor came out of the ward: "We've tried our best, the patient doesn't have much time, if you have anything to say..."
Xu Erlong really didn't want to step into this ward again, but in the end, he did.
On the hospital bed, the thin old man opened his mouth weakly, and his chapped lips moved slightly. If you listen carefully, you can hear clearly that he called - son.
If it were the past, Xu Erlong would definitely step forward.
But now, he is not sure.
He did not move, his eyes looked towards Xu Damin.
You can feel Xu Dongsheng's eyes turning around blankly, looking for Xu Damin's figure.
But the man wearing black-rimmed glasses stood there with a cold expression, showing no intention of coming forward.
Xu Dongsheng's hand drooped down.
Until his death, the son did not respond, even though he had just made a will, leaving all his property to him.
A mocking smile appeared on Xu Erlong's lips. What was he trying to do?
If he could start his life over again, he would never feed his sincerity to a dog again.

"Erlong, get up. Get ready to go." A rich voice sounded outside the door.
Xu Erlong shuddered and hit the road? Which way?
"If you don't get up quickly, you'll be delayed in catching the bus." The voice gradually became impatient.
Xu Erlong carefully opened his eyes, and what he saw was a pillow made of blue coarse cloth. The pillow was stuffed with rice husks, and it rustled as it moved.
He reached out and rubbed it, his brows filled with doubts.
In front of me was an all-too-familiar environment, an old-fashioned wooden bed with a mosquito net made of woven linen hanging on the bed.
A mosquito was buzzing in front of him.
"Pa." Xu Erlong slapped the mosquito to death.
The crisp touch and clear mosquito blood in his palm reminded him that this was not a dream.
Looking around again, the wall of the earthen fortress, the only decoration on the wall, is the image of the great leader, which has been stained by oil lamps for a long time, glowing with the dim yellow of the times.
The old wooden door of the room opened with a creak, and Xu Dongsheng walked in with a straight face: "What time has it been, and you still haven't gotten up? What big things can you do like this?"
At this time, Xu Dongsheng was only about forty years old. He was in the prime of life and was not tortured by illness. He looked dignified and had the majesty of a middle-aged man and the head of a family.
"Where do you want me to go?" Xu Erlong was confused.
"Look at you. Didn't you agree yesterday that you would go to work in the brick cellar? Did you forget all about it after you slept?" Xu Dongsheng said.
Mentioning this, Xu Erlong finally remembered it.
In the last life, in order to support Xu Damin in high school and college, the family owed a lot of debt.
In order to pay off the debt as soon as possible, the family arranged for him to work in the brick cellar to earn money.
Back then, he was young and frivolous, and he was very brotherly. He patted his chest and said to Xu Damin: "Brother Damin, you can go to college. I will take care of the tuition fees in the future. I guarantee that you won't have to worry about the tuition fees."
He kept his promise and actually supported Xu Damin in college until he got into trouble and went to jail...
At that time, I thought he was talking about brotherhood, but now I see that he is a real idiot.
"No. I won't go." Xu Erlong turned over and got out of bed. A corner of the mat made of strips was torn, and the strips of strips poked his thighs.
"What?" Xu Dongsheng's eyes widened.
"I'm not going to do the work in the brick cellar." Xu Erlong replied word for word.
He wants to go to work again, he is a pig.
"You..." Xu Dongsheng wanted to take off his shoes and slap him: "You are just talking like a fart. In this job, you can do it if you want to, but if you don't want to, you can't do it?"
Xu Erlong looked at him contemptuously: "Yes, just treat it as fart."
In the past, he had valued this father very highly. He felt that he was stable, responsible, and worked hard for the family without complaining.
But after knowing his secret, his father's glorious image collapsed in his heart, and Xu Erlong had no respect for him at all.
The quarrel between father and son spread outside.
A middle-aged woman wearing an apron and stooped at the waist walked in: "My son is leaving so early in the morning, why are you still scolding him?"
This is Xu Erlong's mother, Zhang Jinfang.
However, at the age of forty, Zhang Jinfang looked quite old. She was slightly stooped and wearing an apron. She had been making pig food in the kitchen just now, and her hands still smelled like pig food.
"This bastard went back on his word and said he wouldn't go to the brick cellar." Xu Dongsheng turned his anger on Zhang Jinfang: "What's wrong with going to work in the brick cellar? How many people want to have a job. It's not easy to rely on connections.
, I got a place for him, but he can’t say it right now.”
Everyone outside heard this movement and came over to persuade him.
Mrs. Xu had a stern face: "Xu Erlong, what are you doing? You are almost eighteen years old. Look, who is not working in the village among the young men like you? Go to work in the brick cellar, everyone wants to be together."
You couldn't ask for a good opportunity, and you didn't go?"
"No, I won't be a worker." Xu Erlong strolled out: "I took a nap and figured out that going to the brick cellar to move bricks is not as good as being a college student. I want to study like Brother Damin.
Become a college student."
"You bastard, is this college student so good? You can do it if you want." Old Mrs. Xu scolded.
"If my father hadn't made his own decision back then and given him his place in school, maybe I would be the college student today." Xu Erlong replied calmly.
Xu Damin looked at Xu Erlong in surprise: "Erlong, you...how can you say that? Are you jealous when I get into college?"
Xu Erlong glared at him: "Jealous of you? Jealous of your four-eyed dog, jealous of your body like a chicken?"
At this time, Xu Dongsheng really couldn't help it, took off the straw sandals on the soles of his feet, and smashed them over.
Xu Erlong kicked his foot and made a side hook, kicking the flying straw sandals directly to the chicken coop over there, causing the two hens in the chicken coop to fly around.
Xu Dongsheng's face turned red, he was rebelling, he was rebelling, this little bastard was really rebelling, he actually dared to kick his straw sandals away.
This was a naked challenge to his authority as a father.
Xu Dongsheng picked up a small bench at hand and threw it at Xu Erlong.
