Chapter 211 Tears of the Times

Ji Ning looked at Chu Niao quietly, it seemed that her heart knot was about to be untied.

Chu Niao began to tell her own story.

Her father was a respected teacher. When she was young, she was very proud to have such a father.

During the revolution, her father was labeled as a member of another faction, and then his job was taken away, and his brilliant life was gone.

Not only that, the rebels hung a small blackboard with his name on it and paraded him through the streets in front of his students.

During that time, her mother took her back to her parents' home to protect her.

When she came back, she found that her father seemed like a different person. He was no longer the father who used to tell her stories gently.

He has been depressed, with empty eyes, and suffers from a mental illness.

His family members didn’t understand and kept telling him that if he was in a bad mood, he should just eat better, dress better, and go out more often.

Later, after her father passed away, she read a lot of books and looked up a lot of information, only to find out that her father's illness was called depression, which could not be solved by eating well and dressing well.

That year, it was windy and rainy, the weather was freezing cold, and it was only September but the wind was already howling.

Chu Niao stood on the bridge and hurried out. She was only wearing a thin piece of clothes. Her eyes were red and one of her shoes was gone. "Dad!" she shouted heartbreakingly.

Father Chu turned around and smiled, "I'm sorry, Niao Niao."

"Dad loves you."

His voice was so weak that it seemed to be blown away by the wind and rain, and it became weaker and weaker. "But Dad can't hold on any longer. Forgive me..."

Father Chu looked at her again with deep affection, as if she was his last and only bond in this world, "Niao Niao, you must grow up well."

After saying that, with a "dong" sound, he jumped into the cold river without hesitation.

"dad!"

The young Chu Niao remembered this scene clearly that year. He was awakened by the pain countless times in the middle of the night. When he opened his eyes, the sheets were wet and he could only curl up in a ball.

Recalling that her father had been suffering from depression before his death, he forgot to remind her, "Chu Niao, you have to study hard. Only by studying hard can you have hope."

At that time, she was young and ignorant, and didn't understand anything. She just said a few words coldly, "What's the point of studying hard? Are you going to be like dad in the future?"

Sometimes she wondered if so many things would not have happened if her father had not read so many books.

Look at her good friend, Zhang the tenant’s family has always been living a good life.

In the cold bed, she couldn't stop crying and pounded her chest as if it was about to break.

But my father is dead, and all that is left is deep regret.

Some words can never be taken back...

Wouldn’t Dad think that he was a burden to his daughter and a disgrace to her?

She looked at the cold air, imagining her father's voice and smile, and her voice choked.

How much I want to tell him——

"Dad, that's not what I meant. I was wrong."

When he was in high school, Chu Niao went to fetch water one day and heard Liu Siying talking about her father with several other classmates.

"I heard that Chu Niao's father is very knowledgeable and impressive. He is said to be the most educated person in our village. Look at Chu Niao's good grades."

After hearing this, Liu Siying covered her lips with her hands and lowered her voice, "But don't you know about that?"

"What's the matter?"

Liu Siying: "Her father was punished, and he was humiliated in front of his students. I was still young at the time, but it's embarrassing to think about it."

"Ah? There's also this matter. No wonder she never mentions her father. It seems she feels ashamed."

"That can't be helped." Liu Siying spread her hands. "Each era has its own rules. Who told her father not to follow the rules of that era? He shouldn't have read so many books. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down."

Chu Niao rushed out like a cannonball, full of resentment, riding on Liu Siying and attacking left and right.

Isn't she saying that her father deserves to die? Her father treated her well back then. He even waived her tuition fees because she was his adopted daughter.

Jiang Zhizhi and Luo Xiaohan were both stunned.

It’s a pity that they felt sorry for Liu Siying at the beginning.

Only Ji Ning stood there quietly, thinking that she had also felt pity for Ji Wei at the beginning, and what happened to Chu Niao was similar to what happened to her.

This truly verifies the saying: There must be something hateful about pitiful people.

"When I was in high school, Liu Siying was a very good person, so my classmates all had a good relationship with her. They thought that I was a bad person, but I just said a few words about my father. Why should I get so angry? This is completely inconsistent with solidarity with the people."

Luo Xiaohan and Jiang Zhizhi were speechless. Who could remain calm when faced with someone insulting their father?

They still felt that Chu Niao didn't hit him lightly.

"Also, Liu Siying and I are from the same village. In fact, her adoptive parents treated her very well, but she kept saying that she was not her biological daughter and that her adoptive parents treated her badly, and she used this to gain sympathy."

Luo Xiaohan and Jiang Zhizhi's eyes turned red, and they held Chu Niao's hands tightly, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood you."

Looking back, “Luckily, we have Ningning, otherwise we would still be making mistakes.”

Chu Niao shook his head. "It's none of your business. Maybe I'm a little self-righteous. I haven't bothered to argue about these things over the years. I always feel that if someone is bewitched by Liu Siying's words, then she is not someone I can trust."

Now that she had said what she had buried in her heart for so long, she felt much better. She looked at Ji Ning with gratitude: Fortunately, she was there. These words were like a bomb, buried in her heart all these years, making her want to explode, along with her guilt towards her father.

"Come, let's do something." Ji Ning looked at Chu Niao mysteriously, "Do you have the habit of writing letters to your father?"

Chu Niao hesitated for a moment and said, "Yes."

She took out a tin box, which was full of letters to her father.

Over the years, whenever she couldn't sleep, she would get up, pick up a pen and write a letter, expressing her longing for her father and her guilt.

"I'll take you somewhere." Ji Ning smiled mysteriously.

"But it's so late now. Will I be too late to come back if I go out?" Luo Xiaohan expressed his concern.

Ji Ning curled her lips, "No."

Four people came to the school gate, where a white Mercedes was parked. The moment the headlights came on, the CPUs of the other three people were about to burn out.

They probably wouldn't recognize other cars, but the one in this circle is the well-known Mercedes-Benz.

How much does this cost?!

Jiang Zhizhi's usually bright and cheerful face was now as stiff as a robot. "You...yours?"

"Yeah!" Ji Ning smiled brightly, "Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise it will be too late!"
