"Hey, have you heard about it? There's a student from Zhenhua Middle School, who seems to be the president of the student union. He has excellent grades and is a candidate for Tsinghua or Peking University.

He doesn't recognize his parents and only wants to escape from the mountains and seas and go to the big city. How can he be educated like this? What's the point of having good grades and a promising future?"

In the park, several elderly women pushing their grandchildren sat together and chatted.

"Alas, this is not a rare case. Didn't the newspaper say that a student went to study in the United States and passed the doctoral exam?

Then he would settle accounts with his parents, asking them how much money they spent on raising him, and cut off all ties with them after paying them back.

When raising children, we don’t ask them to be very successful, but they must have good moral character.

How cruel must such a child be to not be filial to his parents who gave birth to him? Who knows what he will do in the future. "An old lady next to him said with deep emotion,

"Not only does this student not recognize his parents, he is also very good at disguising himself, pretending to be a rich kid in school.

When a student from a well-off family appears and steals his limelight, he will take revenge and frame him.

This child is useless. I think he will be in jail sooner or later when he enters society!" Another middle-aged woman followed up the topic and predicted confidently,

Similar scenes were played out on the streets of various communities around Zhenhua Middle School. Different versions were circulated, but the blame was directed at Chu Tiankuo, whose reputation was almost reaching the point where everyone wanted him killed.

Chu Tiankuo's family lived in an old neighborhood, and his parents sold fish in the market. These two places were where gossip spread the fastest and most concentratedly.

At school, some classmates had ridiculed him, and some rumors had reached his ears.

On the way home, people still pointed fingers at me. I used to be a role model in the eyes of my neighbors, but now I have become a negative example.

Chu Tiankuo's parents couldn't stand the gossip, so they closed the stall early and waited for Chu Tiankuo to come home and ask for clarification.

The couple worked hard all their lives, hoping that their son would have a good future and live a good life. But now the rumors spread by people around them hurt their hearts.

If their son is really an ingrate as they say, then why do they get up early and go to bed late every day?

Chu Tiankuo's parents are ordinary citizens who have some calculations and dream of their son being admitted to Tsinghua University or Peking University and making a lot of money in the future.

They no longer need to sell fish, they can live in a villa, hire a nanny and drive a luxury car, and spend their days eating, drinking, playing cards and traveling abroad.

Chu Tiankuo returned home with a gloomy face. As soon as he entered the house, the smell of cigarette smoke made him frown.

Looking up, Chu's father was sitting at the dining table with a heavy heart, and the ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts.

Because Chu Tiankuo couldn't get used to the smell of low-quality cigarettes, Chu's father usually smoked a few cigarettes outside or on the balcony. It was very rare for him to smoke almost a pack without any scruples like today.

Chu Tiankuo, who was also worried, did not say anything and prepared to go back to his room.

"Son, it's time to finish your evening study. Are you hungry? Mom will make you a bowl of noodles."

Mother Chu heard the noise, came out of the kitchen, and asked with concern,

She didn't believe the gossip spreading outside. How could the mother not know what kind of person her own child was like?

Maybe he disliked the environment of the fish stall, so he went there less and less after entering junior high school. She understood.

One weekend last semester, they had something to do and asked Chu Tiankuo to help watch the stall for half a day. As a result, the couple had a quarrel after they came back and never went to the stall again.

Chu's mother understood that her son felt it was a bit embarrassing to sell fish and was afraid of being seen by his classmates and teachers. But to say that he disliked his parents and would not recognize them in the future was too exaggerated.

"I'm not hungry. I'll go back to my room first," Chu Tiankuo said perfunctorily.

"Come here, I have something to talk to you about." Father Chu said at this time, his voice was serious and he would not tolerate any refusal.

Mother Chu gently tugged at Chu Tiankuo's clothes, signaling him with her eyes not to argue with Father Chu and to go over quickly.

"Did you offend anyone at school?"

Father Chu stared at his son sitting opposite him for a long time, and said slowly,

Chu Tiankuo was stunned when he heard this. He thought his father wanted to question the truth of those rumors, to lecture him, or even to point at his nose and scold him for being unfilial. He didn't expect his father to be so calm today.

"Now everyone in our area is spreading bad things about you. It was so sudden, just overnight, you went from being a model student to an ungrateful person, an unfilial son.

If there was no one behind the scenes pushing and pulling, how could there be such a big noise?" Father Chu took another puff of cigarette, exhaled it through his nose, and frowned.

After returning home, he thought about it over and over again. His social experience of doing small business in the vegetable market for so many years made him realize that this matter was unusual.

I was angry and disappointed when I heard the rumors about Chu Tiankuo, but now I am worried.

If they, the petty citizens and small people, offend someone they cannot afford to offend, their future will be ruined. Chu Tiankuo is a senior in high school today, and he is only one step away from getting into a prestigious university.

Chu Tiankuo lowered his head and did not answer his father's question. In fact, he had some guesses in his mind. He wanted to give the man a taste of his own medicine. Before the first mock exam,

But the last experience made him realize that if there was no solid evidence, revealing Gu Yu's name would only be futile, or even lead to worse retaliation.

At this moment, Chu Tiankuo's eyes were filled with resentment, his fists were clenched, and his nails dug into his flesh.

"You don't even know who you've offended, do you? You've really become stupid!" Father Chu snorted coldly and said dissatisfiedly,

"Is he the rich kid mentioned in the rumors?" Chu's father asked. Chu Tiankuo still kept his head down and said nothing.

"Pah! I was asking you a question! Look at the trouble you've caused. What did I tell you?

Our family is just ordinary people. You should be humble in school, unite with your classmates, read more, and don't cause trouble.

Now we can't do business, you can't study, and the neighbors are gossiping about us and are ready to laugh at us.

Tell me quickly! Who did you offend? Your mother and I will take you to apologize and let this matter go quickly. "

The suppressed anger of Mr. Chu burst out. He slammed the table hard, yelled, and asked anxiously,

"Apologize?" Chu Tiankuo looked at his father in disbelief.

"Someone spread rumors about me, and then I have to apologize to him? Ha! How ridiculous, are you still my dad?" Chu Tiankuo sneered, his tone revealing injustice and disappointment.

"If I weren't your father, why would I care about you? Ridiculous? I think you are the ridiculous one! What do you know?

My family sells fish, so there is nothing to do with us. It is just a rumor.

If the other party gets angry and hires someone to deal with us, will we still be able to do business with them? Will we still be able to live like this?"

Chu's father stood up excitedly and pointed at Chu Tiankuo and yelled at him. Upon hearing the noise, Chu's mother hurried out of the kitchen, grabbed Chu's father, and whispered to comfort him, asking him not to get angry with the child.

"How can he deal with us? Go to the mafia? We are living in a society ruled by law now! If that's the case, we can call the police and have them investigate him and sentence him!" Chu Tiankuo retorted in a youthful and vigorous tone.
