As soon as Wang Qiang and his wife stepped into the house, Chen Jiao suddenly remembered what her poor sister-in-law had said that afternoon and pushed the man next to her.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Qiang, I secretly took a look on Weibo this afternoon. You know what, that girl does look quite like that..."

Chen Jiao's voice stopped abruptly because she saw Wang Enyou, who was supposed to be upstairs, sitting on the sofa.

After a moment of shock, she quickly adjusted her expression and asked him gently,

"Son, didn't you go upstairs to play games? Why did you come down suddenly?"

Wang Enyou smiled nonchalantly.

"I've already finished two rounds. My classmate had something urgent to do, so I thought I'd come down to have a drink. Have my uncle and the others gone home yet?"

"Yes, your father also gave him a few thousand yuan. If I give him too much at once, I'm afraid it will hurt his pride. So I might as well wait until I get back and transfer the money directly to his card.

"Oh, let's not talk about this anymore. Are you hungry? Didn't I bring back a few boxes of salmon yesterday? How about I go to the kitchen and get them for you? I'll also make you a bowl of noodles."

"No need, Mom. I had a full meal tonight. I'm going back to my room first. You should go to bed early too."

Wang Enyou filled a glass of water and stood up.

"Remember not to play too late tonight, we have to rush back to the city tomorrow morning."

Wang Qiang patted his shoulder and said gently.

"I know, goodnight, Mom and Dad."

Wang Enyou concealed the thoughts in his eyes, smiled at the two of them, then turned and went upstairs.

Looking at the departing figure, Chen Jiao had a loving smile on her face.

"My son is very sensible. He is indeed the child sent by God to repay His kindness."

"By the way, the person you just mentioned..."

Wang Qiang suddenly paused and pulled her upstairs, "Forget it, let's talk inside."

The couple returned to the room, and Chen Jiao sneakily stuck her head out to look at the door of Wang Enyou's room.

After finding that the door was closed and there was nothing unusual, he quickly closed the door tightly.

After the door of the master bedroom was closed, a figure walked out silently from the corner, stuck to the crack of the door and listened carefully to the conversation in the room.

……

After Wang Enyou returned to his room, he listened to the recording over and over again in disbelief, and finally collapsed on the head of the bed in despair.

In his memories from childhood to adulthood, his parents are always kind, generous and good.

Although they do not have high educational qualifications, they work hard and live positively and optimistically. They always love him wholeheartedly and give him the best education and life resources within their ability.

Even the supermarket employees and the grandparents who collect waste nearby praised them for being kind.

But everything that happened today seemed to completely overturn his impression of his parents from the previous 18 years.

It was the father who always maintained a distant and superior attitude towards his brothers, and later on, the verbal threats and hypocritical charity.

It was the forced smile on my mother's lips when she was talking to my second aunt, and the contempt, disgust and disdain that always flashed in her eyes.

It is their sarcastic and mean faces in private and their vicious verbal attacks.

And that conversation and plan just now in the house... completely overturned his worldview.

He suddenly seemed unable to distinguish what was real and what was fake, and didn't know how to continue to get along in this family.

Looking at the time on the lock screen of his mobile phone, Wang Enyou took a deep breath and sent the recording file to a chat window.

……

The next day.

When Wang Qiang and his wife went downstairs, Wang Enyou happened to come out of the kitchen carrying two bowls of noodles.

Chen Jiao quickly stepped forward to help, and said angrily,

"Son, why are you up so early to cook? You're the same. You're hungry but you don't even ask me to get up and cook for you."

Wang Enyou avoided her hand without leaving any trace and brought the noodles to the dining table.

"It's okay, I was just woken up by the crowing of the village chickens. I was just about to go upstairs to wake you up for breakfast when you came down."

"The chickens in this countryside are really annoying. It's okay, you can catch up on some sleep in the car later."

Wang Qiang sat down at the table, picked up his chopsticks,

"Let me try the loving breakfast my son made for the first time and see how it tastes."

"Well, try it now. It's all from the cooking class at school. If you like it, I'll make something else for you when I get home."

"Hey, okay, I'll be waiting then."

"My son's cooking must be delicious. I'm in for a treat this time."

The family of three chatted with each other at the dining table in a happy atmosphere.

Recalling the 'unread' reminder he saw this morning, Wang Enyou asked casually,

"By the way, Mom and Dad, do you have time these days?"

"What's wrong? Are you bored during the summer vacation and want to go out and play? Where do you want to go? Mom will accompany you." Chen Jiao asked.

"It's not that I'm bored, actually. I just want to go to Jing City to visit schools and spend a few days in the capital. I remember the last time I went to Jing City was when I was in elementary school."

As he spoke, Wang Enyou cautiously looked up at the other two's reactions, then changed his tone with a look of regret, "If you're busy, forget it. It'll be the same if you go before school starts."

Wang Qiang and Chen Jiao looked at each other, wondering if he had discovered something, but judging from his reaction, it didn't seem like that.

"Well, maybe we should wait a while..."

Before Chen Jiao finished speaking, Wang Qiang interrupted her.

"The supermarket has been really busy lately. How about this, Dad gives you some money and you go on your own? You're grown up now, so it might be a good idea to go ahead and see the place where you'll be staying for the next four years."

"Okay then, I can do it myself, and I'll take pictures for you guys then."

Wang Enyou smiled understandingly.

Chen Jiao was a little worried. "Then remember to call your parents anytime and let them know you are safe."

"I know, don't worry, Mom."

After Wang Enyou entered the kitchen with the empty bowl, Chen Jiao asked quietly,

"Why did you kick me just now? My son is so young, it's not safe for him to go so far alone!"

"What's so small about that? He's already 18, and he'll be going to school there in two months! Besides, transportation and communications are so advanced nowadays, we can always contact him. What's there to worry about?!"

Wang Qiang glared at her and scolded her in a low voice,

"Now's the perfect time. Now that we've gotten him out of here, we don't have to worry about how to explain it to him right away! Let me think about how to make this lie work and get him out of this. Before that, remember to watch your mouth!"

Chen Jiao curled her lips, "I see. You talk as if you are the only one with this son. I am worried about him too."

Every word of the conversation between the two reached Wang Enyou's ears. Wang Enyou curled his lips in self-mockery before turning on the faucet and starting to wash the dishes.
