Chapter 4 (2/2)
I couldn’t just sit there and not say anything.
“I, um, I didn’t bring anything. I would’ve if I knew…”
That was the first thing I said to him which he still laughs about after a long, long time. But itwas pretty stupid.
He still didn’t make a sound.
I thought to myself, I don’t owe him anything and I even took care of his old lady’s funeral and…
“How’s everything? Did you get bullied?”
No reply.
“Study hard.” I remembered he was a hillbilly.
Still no reply.
I began to regret it. I must have been crazy to go there in the first place.
“Okay, I’m gonna go then!” Then I got up from my seat.
“Yo, I’m doin’ fine. What I got locked up for is this inside.”
Seeing the kiddo across from me stick his thumb up and smirk arrogantly, I felt kind of warm inside.
I nod. “That’s great. You study hard though. Your mom said you’re a good kid.”
His face darkened.
Did I say something? I thought Ding Hongmei loved this son of hers.
He stood up too and pointed his chin towards me. “Your videos ain’t half bad, bro. Can’t get them in the slammer though,” he said before leaving.
After coming out from the prison, I began to feel antsy.
He’s doing okay in there. Better than before.
I’m going to be thirty-something by the time he gets out. A poor, old man, hah.
