I had left my things scattered around, and Liu Xuan saw a notebook of mine. He opened it and crossed out everything I had written, replacing it with the words "Kill Kill Kill" in big letters. I was so furious that I cried right there.
My parents, without understanding the situation, scolded me for an hour. Clearly, I was the victim in this scenario. Liu Xuan looked at me with a smug expression.
Later, when my parents were not around, Liu Xuan took scissors and cut my hair. I cried and reported it to my parents, but they said I was being disobedient and making things up. Their reasoning was that Liu Xuan was still a child while I was already nine years old, considered a little adult. Children don't lie, they said.
I vowed to myself that I would leave this detestable home. Now, hearing that they were not doing well made me feel much better inside.
My aunt was still lamenting, "Xiao Chang, your brother really knows he was wrong. He’s too scared to go outside now; you should come back and see him."
"Your parents miss you; you should come back," she continued.
"If they want money, they can have my life instead. If he wants me to give him anything, I'll go down with him," I replied directly.
My aunt was startled. "Xiao Chang, don’t be impulsive; don’t be impulsive."
"I'm not being impulsive; I'm very clear-headed," I insisted.
"The money I've earned is from my own hard work; I won't give them anything."
"Liu Xuan has hands and feet; he's young—why can't he earn his own money instead of living off his parents?"
"I started making money in middle school to support the family. When have they ever given me money?"
"I don’t ask them for anything; I just want them to leave me alone."
Seeing that she couldn't persuade me, my aunt had no choice but to hang up the phone. I knew this was just the beginning.
Sure enough, my parents really sued me. They sued me for alimony. After the court's ruling, I have to pay 500 yuan in alimony every month. My parents only give me 500 yuan for living expenses each month, and the rest has to be handed over.
I, Liu Xuan, am locked up at home every day, unable to go out, driving me crazy. Taking advantage of my parents going out to buy groceries, I secretly took 500 yuan and went out to gamble again. This time, I lost over 8,000 yuan.
When my parents found out, they locked me in the house. I spent every day at home throwing tantrums. I either smashed things or dumped my meals. My parents had no choice but to let me vent my anger. After all, they were getting old and couldn’t manage me anymore.
I was locked up at home for a month and lost quite a bit of weight. When I saw my parents come back, I rushed up to them. “Dad, Mom, please let me go out! I promise, I promise I won’t gamble again.”
“Please?”
My mother felt heartbroken. “Xuan Xuan, it’s not that your parents don’t want you to go out; it’s just that you owe so much money now. If you go out and the creditors see you, they might do something bad to you.”
“Mom, please let Dad go with me! Just let Dad go with me!” I pleaded desperately.
My mother turned to look at my father. “How about you accompany Xuan Xuan out for a bit?”
“If he wants to go, he can go alone; I’m not going.” My father snorted coldly and ignored me as he walked straight into the house.
Mother sighed, "Xuan Xuan, it's not that I don't care about you, but your father has things to attend to as well."
"How about this: you take care of your matters, and then your dad and I will take you on a trip."
She tried to reassure me.
Liu Xuan grew anxious, "Mom, haven't I already resolved my issues?"
"Resolved? Which of your problems have been solved?" Mother looked at Liu Xuan with confusion.
Liu Xuan was momentarily speechless.
"What about the money you owe? Haven't you paid that off yet?"
"If you go out now and someone sees you, what if they tell your creditors? What are we supposed to do?"
"Can't you be a little more considerate and not make us worry?" Mother couldn't help but say.
Liu Xuan listened impatiently to her nagging and, taking advantage of Mother's distraction, grabbed the fruit knife from the table and stabbed it into Father's body.
"Ah—"
Mother was horrified by the scene and fainted on the spot.
Lin Xuan panicked and quickly grabbed her luggage to flee.
When Mother regained consciousness and saw Father lying in a pool of blood, she hurriedly called for an ambulance.
I passed by the hospital entrance and saw Mother anxiously waiting for the ambulance to arrive.
I asked the nurse to inform Mother that I had transferred five hundred dollars for her support.
Then I left.
