"You said, are you in debt?"
The older brother straightened his neck and replied defiantly,
"Yes! I owe money! So what?"
"I borrowed high-interest loans just to help you with your medical expenses!"
"You not only don't thank me, but you also want to hit me. How can you be so shameless?"
Mom cried from the side, "Son, just tell the truth!"
The older brother rolled his eyes, "What truth? What I said is the truth!"
Dad trembled with anger, "You still won't tell the truth, huh?"
"Fine! I'll sell the house right now,
and we'll move. You owe the debt, you pay it yourself!"
Hearing this, the older brother began to panic: "No! Don't sell the house!"
"I... I was deceived!"
Dad asked, "Who deceived you?"
The older brother stammered, "By... by a group of friends..."
"What friends?"
"Just... just..."
Dad struck him with a feather duster: "Speak up!"
The older brother winced in pain and finally said:
"They were tricked into an underground casino to gamble and said they could win back their money. I just wanted to earn some medical expenses, so I went along..."
Dad hit the older brother hard: "You wasteful brat!"
Mom cried out, "Son, tell the truth. How much do you owe?"
The older brother knelt on the ground, hugging Dad's leg and cried:
"Dad, please save me! Please save me!"
"If I sell the house, I can gather a bit of money. The rest will have to be paid back with your sister's future salary."
Dad stared blankly at the older brother as if looking at a stranger.
The older brother thought Dad's heart had softened and buried his head deep in Dad's arms, choking back tears: "Dad, I was wrong. I really was wrong."
"I swear I'll turn over a new leaf and be a better person."
"I'm still young; I still have a chance to change."
"Dad, I'm your only son; you can't just ignore me!"
Dad sighed, "Yes, I only have you as a son."
In the next moment, my brother somehow found a Watermelon Knife and stabbed it into Dad's chest.
This scene was completely recorded by the living room surveillance camera.
I stared blankly at the monitor screen, my hands trembling uncontrollably.
I called for an ambulance.
Dad fell to the ground, struggling to breathe, blood pouring from his mouth.
Mom had already fainted.
At that moment, Dad painfully pulled out his phone from his pocket and dialed my number.
"Sweetheart..."
"Dad..."
"Sweetheart, I'm sorry..."
"Dad is useless, just a coward who only knows how to apologize to his son."
"Now, Dad will give you this life in return..."
"Sweetheart, it's what I owe you..."
I cried out, "Dad! Don't say that! I don't blame you anymore! I don't blame you!"
Dad gave a bitter smile and said, "Sweetheart, I have one request."
"Your brother... he owes money... Dad will find a way... don't blame your brother... okay?"
"Dad! Stop talking! I promise you! I'll agree to anything! Just hold on, the ambulance is coming!"
Dad softly said, "Sweetheart, live well..."
Dad died, and Mom went insane after witnessing my brother commit murder.
She was admitted to a mental hospital and lay in bed every day, telling everyone who passed by:
"My son got into Tsinghua; he is the hope of our whole family!"
My brother was sentenced to the Death Penalty for murder.
Before his execution, I went to visit him.
He stared at me fiercely and said, "Xiaoran, it was you, wasn't it?"
"You were the one who sent that email?"
I nodded.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Do you know that Dad had already promised to give me the house?"
"But later, he suddenly changed his mind and insisted on giving the house to my sister!"
"Is it just because you are the good girl in his eyes?"
I shook my head. "No, brother, actually Dad didn't intend to give the house to me."
"He just wanted to motivate you to strive for more, that's why he said that."
"If Dad hadn't said he would give the house to you, I wouldn't have lost control and killed him!"
I sighed.
"Yeah, if you hadn't pushed so hard, Dad wouldn't have resorted to such measures."
"In fact, you are our hope."
"The reason Dad said that was just to encourage you to work a little harder, just a bit more."
"But you turned that hope into despair with your own hands."
My brother's eyes widened. "No! Impossible! You're lying to me!"
"Dad is biased towards you! He wants to push me to a dead end!"
"It doesn't matter... I'm going to die anyway..."
"I just didn't expect that in the end, it would be you, this little girl, who brought me to this point..."
I remained silent.
When I left the prison, I heard that my cousin had been accepted into Peking University this year and would soon become my junior.
Two years later, I graduated from Peking University as an outstanding graduate and was awarded my degree.
Watching my cousin adjust my tassel, I smiled.
Once upon a time, I was trapped in the quagmire of life, struggling hopelessly.
And now, I am soaring into the sky, where there is a vast world belonging to me.
(The End)
