Although he didn't climb very high, he still broke his leg. Fortunately, a young person and an elderly person passed by, gave Chu Xun simple first aid, and took him to the hospital.
When Chu Xun's mother heard the news, she rushed over like crazy, holding Chu Xun and crying loudly in front of everyone at the hospital. Chu‘s father felt a little guilty in his heart and also hurried to the hospital. The couple then had a big argument about this.
The child's hands and feet grow quickly, and they recover and leave the hospital soon. However, due to traditional thinking, Chu‘s father still treats his daughter and Chu Xun differently. This is only to avoid his wife's complaints or even conflicts. He usually uses emotional abuse towards Chu Xun and ignores her, neither praising nor criticizing her.
Just as before, he was extremely dissatisfied with Chu Xun's hairstyle and clothing, but he only frowned slightly and did not say anything. When Chu Xun was young, this differential treatment often made her throw tantrums and cry loudly.
Chu Xun Later, as he grew up and matured, he began to reflect on Chu‘s father's past actions and gradually became suspicious.
He questioned his mother about the reasons. His mother treated him extremely well, as if he were her own son. At first, she was unwilling to tell him, but she couldn't resist Chu Xun's persistent pleading. Sometimes she would hug him and act coquettishly, and other times she would threaten to go on a hunger strike, until she finally revealed the truth.
He is naturally kind, and as he grows older, he understands the motives behind Chu‘s father's actions, so he does not harbor any resentment towards him. However, he often feels regretful about the lack of paternal love. Occasionally, he feels lost and sheds tears in his pillowcase and pajamas in the midnight dreams.
Later, Shui Sheng also found out that Chu Xun is not her biological brother. She has always had a good relationship with her brother since childhood, so she doesn't think that blood relationship is a big deal.
The little girl grew up to be sensible and considerate. She realized that if she didn't interact with her brother as she used to, it would make him feel estranged. Therefore, everything remained the same. The siblings still played and fought over food, drinks, toys, and their mother's affection, just like before.
Chu Xun naturally didn't consider herself an outsider in the eyes of the mother and daughter.
Chu‘s father is often away at sea, spending eight or nine months of the year away from home. As a result, his wife and children manage to live happily without him. However, whenever Chu‘s father returns home, Chu Xun feels like the stable family dynamic is disrupted, and she becomes a stranger excluded from the family's life of three.
Chu‘s father rarely returns home, so the dinner is very sumptuous. At the moment, he is enjoying the delicious food, chatting with his wife and daughter, and occasionally taking a sip of beer.
He feels the warmth of his family sitting around, and the cozy atmosphere of the lights, bringing him indescribable joy. The mother and daughter see their husband and father happy, although they regret the indifference in their husband's relationship, they also feel happy. Only Chu Xun is restless and unable to enjoy the food.
He quickly finished his dinner, said goodbye to his family, and left the house. He headed straight to the bar where he worked, as tonight was his shift.
That's a bar called "One cat" run by an old man. It is said that the old man likes a certain writer who used to run a bar in his youth and named it after his cat, so he named the bar "One cat".
He also runs it like the writer, selling coffee during the day and alcohol at night. But to Chu Xun, it seems more like a middle-aged man's lazy and casual name.
The old man was one of the people who took Chu Xun, who had broken his leg, to the hospital for treatment. He was not a local of Wushan, but for some reason, he stayed in this place after saving Chu Xun and then opened this shop. Chu Xun's mother was grateful for the old man's actions and took the initiative to get to know him. As time went on, the old man became familiar with the Chu family.
Later, he mentioned that the shop was newly opened and in great need of help, and he wanted Chu Xun to come and help, offering to pay him for his work.
Chu Xun Mother was unwilling to let a child work in a bar, and immediately refused. But for some reason, Chu Xun was eager. The little guy knew how to act cute in front of his mother from a young age. After some coaxing and pleading from the old lady, Chu Xun Mother finally reluctantly agreed.
That year, Chu Xun was only seven years old, and he thus began his miserable child labor career.
Soon, people heard about a bar called "One cat" where there was a young waiter. The little guy was extremely handsome, always smiling, full of energy, and often wore a waiter's uniform that was one size too big, with an apron dragging on the ground. He shuttled back and forth in the store, occasionally shouting to attract customers, behaving just like an adult.
In those years, the comical sight of Chu Xun wearing an oversized waiter's uniform to attract business left a deep impression on many people!
Chu Xun's career as a bartender has continued to this day. He has grown from a little brat who couldn't even climb onto the bar stool to a young man who enjoys bullying thugs and ruffians.
