A Promising Youth

During the holidays after my entrance exams, even though my parents were still cold to me, I had a fervent desire to live, because I was finally getting out of here, and going to college was the turning point in my life.

But it happened that my brother who failed in the college entrance exams and spent a year outside came back. He came with his girlfriend, and the two were ready to get engaged, and the woman asked for a bride price of 100,000 yuan.

I was terrified at the time because my family only had 20,000 yuan in savings, and that was my tuition for school and my only chance to get out of my family and change my fate.

My pampered brother, who got into a heated verbal argument with Mom and Dad and ended up turning over the table and smashing the TV. I didn't expect my father, for the first time, to stand up for me and say.

“There's only 20,000 yuan in the house, and that's for your brother his college tuition, you can’t have it!”

Hearing this, my brother, without saying a word, grabbed me by the collar into the yard, and pinned me down on the well pad and beat me hard!

I wanted to fight back, but I really didn't dare. The sense of fear that my parents and brother, over the years, had created in me, had long since taken away my ability to fight back.

I held my head and cowered on the floor. I had long used to this kind of domestic violence, and even though the pain in my body, this time, was greater than any I'd ever felt before, I pushed through it and kept telling myself.

“It will be fine. Get it through and I'll go to college and get out of here and see the pretty girl.”

I didn't know how long the fight went on, with blood coming out of my head and mouth, but my father, who was cowering in the room, finally came forward and said.

“Even if you beat him to death, we don’t have 100,000 yuan.”

I didn't take that as my father's defense of me. They paid me go to college only because I could give the Chan family honor, and besides, the family did not have that much money.

My brother, who had never been rejected by parents, became even angrier!

He took a lighter and set the family kitchen on fire. Though the yard went up in flames, my father didn't stop it. I didn't think he could have beaten his tall son.
