Chapter 89 My Pants Are on Fire (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
This cotton-padded jacket was Wang Xiaohu's favorite, but now it had been torn in a hole.
He couldn't hold back and burst into tears, complaining to Wang Shuncai, "Dad, look! My clothes were torn by Mom. Not only will she not give me meat dumplings, but she also tore my clothes. She wants to freeze me to death."
Wang Shuncai immediately covered Wang Xiaohu's mouth, but it was too late.
Cai Qinqin listened to everything Wang Xiaohu said.
Her heart was ice-cold.
When she first heard that Wang Xiaohu had been bullied, she went to confront the bully and demand an explanation.
Finally, he tried every means to avenge Wang Xiaohu, treating him like his own son.
She thought she could warm his heart, but now she realizes that no matter how she takes care of him, Wang Xiaohu's heart is not with her.
"Hehe...you're right, I just wanted to freeze you to death." Cai Qinqin didn't explain and directly admitted it.
Wang Xiaohu was frightened by Cai Qinqin's current appearance and kept hiding in Wang Shuncai's arms.
Taking advantage of his expression, Wang Shuncai scolded Wang Xiaohu, "She is, after all, your mother. She will only be good to you and will not harm you. As for the meat dumplings from Xu Qingmo's family, those are other people's things. It's not a good thing for you to be so greedy. When I have time later, I will go to Jiezhen to buy two catties of meat and have your mother make dumplings for you when we get home."
"Give him shit to eat!" Tsai Chin-chin was so angry she gritted her teeth.
Wang Xiaohu: "I don't eat shit. If you want to eat it, go eat it yourself."
Enraged, Cai Qinqin raised her hand and slapped Wang Xiaohu's buttocks twice.
Wang Xiaohu cried even harder, “Dad, look! I’m not her biological son. She hits me like this. She’ll definitely hit me even more when you’re not home.”
Tsai Chin-Chin lost her balance and stumbled a couple of steps, almost falling over.
She was just pretending to hit hard; in fact, she held back when she hit.
"Xiao Hu is still a child, don't take it to heart," Wang Shuncai said, intentionally defending Wang Xiao Hu.
Tsai Chin-chin suddenly felt like she was living a joke.
She took care of the father and son with all her heart, but ended up like this.
Wang Shuncai clearly noticed that she didn't hit Wang Xiaohu hard, but he didn't bring it up.
Instead, they spoke up for Wang Xiaohu.
"Fine, fine, you're a good person, a good father, and Wang Xiaohu is a good son. I'm just a bad person and an outsider. Even if I give you my heart, you'll still complain about the fishy smell after you've eaten it. You two will have to support yourselves from now on. No matter what happens, don't come looking for me."
Tsai Chin-Chin went straight into the house and locked the doors.
Wang Xiaohu was a little stunned and a little scared. This was the first time he had ever seen Cai Qinqin so angry.
Wang Xiaohu asked, "Dad, I'm hungry. What's for dinner?"
Wang Shuncai was in no mood to eat; he was "eating air."
Wang Xiaohu was taken aback, and immediately became unhappy when he realized what was happening. "I just came back from the hospital. The doctor said I have to eat well to recover. Eating air won't make me any better. Dad, can you cook for me? Or, can you send me to Uncle Chen's house? They have plenty of good food."
"Are you asking for trouble, kid? You're so eager to become someone else's son."
“Mom is angry now, she definitely won’t cook. And your cooking isn’t very good either. I might as well go and be Uncle Shen’s son, at least I’ll have a full stomach.”
"Unless I die, you can only be my son."
Wang Xiaohu slumped into a chair like a deflated balloon.
After a long pause, Wang Xiaohu tentatively asked, "Dad, when are you going to die?"
Wang Shuncai pulled out his belt and chased Wang Xiaohu around the room, beating him.
"I'll beat you to death, you unfilial son!"
...
The next day, Tsai Chin-chin only cooked her own meal, ate her fill, and went straight back to her room to sleep.
Wang Xiaohu was crying out in hunger, and he called out to Cai Qinqin several times, but she chased him away each time.
Left with no other choice, Wang Xiaohu left home and deliberately loitered around Xu Qingmo's house.
Lu Ting spotted Wang Xiaohu, opened half of the door, and asked curiously, "What are you doing loitering around my door?"
Wang Xiaohu's nose tingled with sadness. "My mom doesn't cook for me. I'm so hungry right now. Can your family please have some mercy and give me a bowl of rice?"
“If we don’t have any food for you, and you end up in the hospital again, who will take responsibility?” Lu Ting retorted irritably.
Wang Xiaohu shook his head repeatedly, "I promise I won't go to the hospital. Please give me something to eat, or I'll faint from hunger here, and people will say your family is heartless."
Hearing the noise outside, Xu Qingmo stood up from beside the stove and went straight to the door.
When Wang Xiaohu saw Xu Qingmo arrive, he subconsciously took two steps back; he was still afraid of Xu Qingmo.
"What are you muttering about here? You're not welcome in our house, get out of here."
Wang Xiaohu reached out to pull down his pants, threatening, "If you don't give me food, I'll pee in front of your house until you're willing to give me food."
Xu Qingmo looked disgusted. Wang Xiaohu had already started taking off his pants, saying as he did so, "Everyone come and see! Xu Qingmo is a little girl, and she's watching a little boy like me take off his pants. Doesn't she know any shame?"
Lu Ting tried to block Xu Qingmo, but Xu Qingmo didn't care.
"You're the one who wanted to take off your pants, not me pulling them down. You're the one who should feel ashamed, Wang Xiaohu. But with your thick skin, you probably don't know what shame is."
Wang Xiaohu paused in his action of taking off his pants.
Xu Qingmo continued, "Your mother usually cares about you so much, but now she won't even feed you. It shows how shameless you are. Even your mother can't find a reason to continue taking care of you. Someone like you will definitely starve to death in the future, and the people in the family compound will say it's good that you starve to death."
Wang Xiaohu was touched; Cai Qinqin had indeed been very good to him before.
But now she only cooks for herself and doesn't care about him at all.
Wang Xiaohu's heart began to ache.
Lu Ting chimed in, "Wang Xiaohu, don't you ever reflect on your own actions?"
Wang Xiaohu, with his neck stiff, said defiantly, "I did nothing wrong! You're the ones who are wrong, you're the bad ones. You won't even give me a bite to eat. I'll pee right here in front of your house right now."
Wang Xiaohu quickly took off his outer pants, and just as he was about to take off his second pair, Xu Qingmo had a sudden thought, and Wang Xiaohu's pants started to catch fire.
Wang Xiaohu suddenly felt a warm sensation on his buttocks, and he felt quite pleased. On such a cold day, his buttocks were surprisingly warm, as if he were being roasted by a stove.
He looked down and his expression changed drastically.
"Fire... my pants are on fire! Help!" Wang Xiaohu kept flailing his arms and legs, but the fire on his pants wouldn't go out.
The fire burned very quickly, and in no time it burned his pants into open-crotch pants.
The flames also went out at that moment, astonishingly.
A gust of wind blew by, and Wang Xiaohu immediately scrambled forward and backward, covering his exposed buttocks with his hands.
