Chapter 2 Chapter Two Embark on a Rebellious Journey

When Yosuke was fourteen years old, his "father" Zhuo Zuo died in a traffic accident.Three years later, Yosuke was seventeen years old. Before graduating from high school, "mother" felt abnormal in the abdomen. After examination, the cancer cells had spread to the whole body, and all treatments were useless. The doctor called Yosuke and told him that the patient could survive for up to three months.But the mother's condition deteriorated sharply. Where did she wait for three months? Only one month after the abnormality was discovered, she passed away three weeks after being admitted to the hospital.Before dying, she repeatedly called the names of Yosuke and her husband.

The doctor didn't tell Qiuzi what disease she had, but she knew she was terminally ill.A week before her death, she called Yosuke to her pillow, and she began to lose her mind and talk nonsense. Sometimes my mother wakes up, like a moment when the rainy day turns sunny.She said to Yosuke seriously: "Mom is leaving." That expression was already covered with the shadow of death. "Mom, don't talk nonsense, you will be discharged from the hospital after a while." Yosuke concealed his inner grief to encourage his mother. "Okay, I know. I really hate to leave you alone, alone. But you are a boy, and you can always endure loneliness and live. I have something to tell you while my mother is clear."

"Mom, please don't say such sad words." "Yosuke, don't be evasive, listen carefully. This is a major event that concerns your life." She tried her best to pull herself together, resisting the coma. "I'm listening." Yosuke felt unusual shock from his mother's voice. "Listen to me, you are not my child born to your father." "What nonsense are you talking about!" "It's the truth. You listen carefully." "It's all nonsense, I can't listen well. If you and Dad weren't my parents, where are my parents? I'm mad at you." Yosuke thought that his mother seemed to be awake, but she was actually confused.It must be because the disease has damaged the brain cells.

"You believe what mom said. Besides me and your dad, you also have biological parents. You can ask Dr. Kubota for the details. There is a purple box in the top drawer of mom's closet, which stores the things left by your mother. Maybe we can find out where your real parents are. That's what I wanted to tell you before I went." "Mom, I don't believe it. You lied to me. Tell me, it's not true! Mom! Mom!" Yosuke called, his mother was already unconscious, and his scattered eyes were floating in the air. Yosuke didn't want to believe his mother's words, and his heart was heavy.Yosuke wanted to deny it, treating it as the dream of the dying.However, as time went on, it carried more and more weight.Whether it is meaningless nonsense or a real and reliable will can be seen by looking at the mother's wardrobe, but Yosuke dare not look at it.

After living together for nearly 18 years, the mother-child relationship that had never been doubted was suddenly unilaterally denied by the mother, which was really unacceptable.Even if it's the truth, why tell it? However, thinking about these assumptions proves that Yosuke has come to believe his mother. After hesitating for a long time, he finally opened the drawer of his mother's wardrobe.Inside is a purple box.Opening it in panic, there was a gold and platinum necklace and a piece of letterhead in the box.The necklace looks quite expensive. There are a few lines of delicate small characters on the letter paper, to the effect that: Thank you for your care, the child stayed behind for some reason, please.Signed by Tokiko Sugita.

The font is not one my mother is familiar with.Seeing the conclusive evidence, Yosuke still couldn't believe it.A week later, the mother died.Relatives are far away, no different from outsiders.It was the neighbors who got together to help with the funeral. Mother was brought home in a small urn.That night, Yosuke checked his mother's words with Dr. Kubota. "Is that what your mother said?" Dr. Kubota looked at Yosuke with pity.He was the first to discover my mother's cancer. "Mother said let me ask you about the details." "Your mother is telling the truth. Your biological mother is Sugita Tokiko." Dr. Kubota nodded in affirmation of his mother's words.

"Is that really the case?" Yosuke was completely desperate. "I was entrusted by your parents. Knowing that it was illegal, I still issued a birth certificate. I believe that this is the best choice for your happiness." "But why did mother say this before she died? Isn't it too cruel!" "You have to understand your mother's painstaking efforts. She doesn't want you to be an orphan." "I don't need such a cruel mother now after giving birth to a child. I only have a dead mother." "But you can't deny the fact that your biological parents exist. Your mother wants you to try to find them."

"I don't want to. Since they abandoned me, I have the right not to recognize such parents." "That is your freedom. Legally you are the biological son of the Katori family." Through Dr. Kubota, Yosuke learned the secret of his birth.He developed intense anger at his birth mother for abandoning him.The letterhead says "cannot support for some reason", so why give birth to the child? Now that I know my biological mother's name, what about my biological father?No name was left either. It is absolutely irresponsible for a man to let a woman get pregnant and give birth to a child and have to abandon it, but he slips away cleanly.Either they are extremely dull, and they don't even know about a woman's pregnancy.

If he can find his biological parents, Yosuke wants revenge, revenge on the mother who abandoned him and the father who forced his mother to do so. "My parents named you 'Yosuke' in the hope that you would have an open heart like the ocean (ocean) and be able to help others happily (jie)." Although Dr. Kubota had said so, after learning the secret of his birth, he really couldn't be magnanimous.The greater the nostalgia and gratitude for the adoptive parents, the stronger the hatred and anger towards the biological parents who abandoned them.If it wasn't for adoptive parents to take him in, he might be living on the side of the wild road.Birth parents treat themselves like nothing more than cats and dogs.

Maybe the adoptive parents chose the name "Yosuke" in anticipation of their anger when they learned the truth.However, the kindness of adoptive parents and the cruelty of biological parents thus formed a more stark contrast. The house where the adoptive parents live is rented.They opened a small store in Hachishi, the western end of Kanagawa Prefecture, selling dried seafood.When the store was run on by supermarkets and went from bad to worse, his adoptive father, Zhuang Zao, died in a traffic accident.The adoptive mother and Yosuke survived for three years relying on pensions and insurance funds, and the adoptive mother died of illness.

Yosuke graduated from high school just after the forty-nine days of mourning and the ashes were buried.I was planning to take the entrance examination, but now I have to give up.In order to survive, you must first find a job.There are also several local places employing people, but Yosuke wants to make a breakthrough in Tokyo.Although aimless, according to his thinking, the risk is high and the relative opportunity is also high. What chance he had of knowing nothing.However, because of the large number of people and fierce competition, a huge hole may be formed.I was just eighteen years old, full of immeasurable possibilities.Anyway, it's a gamble, he wants to bet big. There is an old saying, "Youth with great ambitions should be Lingyun", which Yosuke interpreted without authorization as "gambling big while you are young".Big bets are made in big cities, and Tokyo is none other than Tokyo. Although there is nothing valuable, he sold the family property left by his adoptive parents and got 800,000 yen.Including the farewell gifts of Dr. Kubota and his neighbors, the number is close to one million.Taking this as the gambling capital of his life, Yosuke came to Tokyo.
