Chapter 48: Humanity is Cold
Hearing the sound, Lin Mo and others looked towards the source of the sound.
They saw a woman who was soaked all over, holding a boy of six or seven years old, rushing towards them with a ferocious look on her face.
Her eyes were red and swollen, and she was cursing ugly words.
In every sentence, he did not forget to greet Lin Mo's ancestors.
Lin Mo handed the fish to Xu Pinggui to grill, and she slowly stood up, looking at him with a frown.
Xu Wuyan stood behind Lin Mo silently.
The woman was a young daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. Her surname was Zhao and her given name was Tong.
Lin Mo recognized the other person.
This woman is very protective of her son.
She left all the food to her son, and she herself was often so hungry that she had to drink water to fill her stomach.
Although he loves his son, he is very extreme.
In my previous life...
A deep look flashed in Lin Mo's eyes. When the other party came closer, he spoke directly:
"Zhao Tong, you and I have nothing in common. You come over here and start yelling at me to kill me. Do you really think I'm made of clay and have no temper?"
Zhao Tong stared at Lin Mo with ferocious eyes:
"It's you, you killed my son, you murderer."
Her voice was horribly hoarse.
This also made everyone's attention fall on the child she was holding.
Only then did everyone see clearly that the child's face was already ashen, and his stomach was very swollen.
Coupled with the wet clothes on the mother and child, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the child had drowned.
At that moment, many people shook their heads regretfully.
A life, just like that, gone.
Lin Mo frowned, looking puzzled.
What does this have to do with her?
This is clearly a case of disaster coming from the sky while you are still at home.
Lin Mo said with a cold face, "You are really funny, woman. Your son's death has nothing to do with me. It's not like I pushed the water under him, right?"
Lin Mo really couldn't understand why she was blamed for her son's drowning.
According to Zhao Tong's logical thinking, if other people's relatives died, could they also follow her example and blame themselves for the death?
"If I don't blame you, who should I blame?" Zhao Tong screamed:
“If you hadn’t gone fishing, my son wouldn’t have gone out to catch fish.
If he hadn't gone fishing, he wouldn't have fallen into the water and drowned.
It was you who killed my son, and I want you to pay with your life."
"Murderer, return my son's life."
Zhao Tong had been so traumatized by her son's death that she had lost her mind.
After carefully placing her son's body on the ground, she rushed towards Lin Mo angrily.
Lin Mo's face turned completely dark.
Can you blame yourself for this?
What is going on?
Lin Mo was speechless at this moment, as if she had met the mother of speechless people. She was speechless to the extreme.
Seeing Zhao Tong rushing towards her like a madman, Lin Mo could no longer bear it and was about to take action, but she didn't expect that someone was faster than her.
Lin Mo's eyes flashed when he saw Xu Wuyan suddenly standing in front of him and kicking Zhao Tong.
“Ahhhh!”
Zhao Tong screamed and fell heavily to the ground.
"Try to touch my wife." Xu Wuyan withdrew his foot with a cold face.
The people on the side couldn't stand it anymore and started to criticize:
"Xu Wuyan, you're going too far. She's just a woman, a woman who just lost her son. Is it necessary to be so cruel?"
"That's right, it's a bit too cruel. There's no sympathy at all. Can't you be more considerate of her?"
…
Xu Wuyan looked at the crowd who were watching and making sarcastic remarks and sneered.
“Yes, I have no sympathy, I am just that cruel.
You are compassionate, soft-hearted and considerate.
Come, stand here and let her vent her anger by bumping her head against you.
You are a good person, yes, I'm talking about you.
Come on, stand up and admit that it was you who killed her son. This will give her some spiritual comfort, and you can be a good person at the same time."
Xu Wuyan's words made everyone afraid to speak and they silently took a few steps back.
Xu Wuyan looked at Zhao Tong with a cold expression:
“Your son died, and everyone is sad, but what does all this have to do with my wife?
Because you know that you are the most responsible for your son's death, because you didn't take good care of him, which led to his accident.
You throw the dirty water on the first person who goes fishing, and you do that just to assuage your guilt."
"No!" Zhao Tong looked up, revealing despair and anger on her face:
"It's her fault. If she hadn't gone fishing, my son wouldn't have gone fishing. Blame her! Why did she go fishing? If she hadn't gone fishing, nothing would have happened."
As she spoke, Zhao Tong began to sob.
Xu Wuyan was too lazy to talk to this kind of person. This kind of person could not be described as unreasonable, but could be described as sick.
People who shift the blame onto others in order to make themselves feel better deserve a beating.
If it weren't for the fact that she had just lost her son, Xu Wuyan would have really not been able to resist beating her up.
With a gloomy face, he pulled Lin Mo back and told her to ignore this crazy woman.
"Don't leave. You have to pay with my son's life." Zhao Tong got up from the ground angrily and rushed directly towards Lin Mo.
Lin Mo couldn't stand it any longer and punched him.
"Damn it, don't push your luck.
Don’t push your own responsibilities onto others.”
Bang!
Zhao Tong was knocked flying by this punch.
As her body fell to the ground, she let out a wail of pain.
Lin Mo walked towards Zhao Tong with a dark face.
Then he grabbed her by the collar and scolded her loudly:
"Zhao Tong, listen to me carefully.
Your son's death has nothing to do with me.
If there's any responsibility, you're the biggest one, because you didn't take good care of your son. And..."
Lin Mo paused and sneered:
“There must have been a lot of people around when your son fell into the water.
The people at the scene stood by and watched your son drown. Why are you coming to me instead of going after them?
Humph, didn’t they just attack us for being cold-blooded?
Now, let's see how passionate they are.
Lin Mo felt quite cold.
When she left, many people headed towards the pond.
So many people watched a child drown, and no one helped.
It's really scary that people's hearts are so cold and indifferent.
Zhao Tong was stunned. Yes.
With so many people watching, why didn't anyone try to save his son?
She looked at the onlookers...
Among the onlookers, some turned their heads away unnaturally, while others couldn't help but criticize Lin Mo:
"You're trying to shift the blame elsewhere."
"Yeah, how could you be so vicious? In such cold weather, if you go down, won't you die? Who doesn't value life?"
"She didn't take good care of the child. If she wants to blame anyone, she can only blame herself. Why does it have to do with anyone else?"
"That's right, she wasn't the one who looked after the child. She didn't even know the child had gone to play in the pond. How could she blame anyone else? Shouldn't she blame herself first?"
…
Lin Mo sneered, this is human nature.
As long as it involves myself, I will clear myself of all responsibility.
The pool was not big at all. When the child fell into the water, if someone went down and others helped, the child would definitely be fine.
Unfortunately, human nature is cold and indifferent.
Lin Mo let go of Zhao Tong, stood up straight, turned around and walked towards his own camp.
At this time, the Zhou family members who had gone out to find food hurried back.
They took away the crying Zhao Tong and the body of Zhao Tong's son.
This farce finally came to an end.
Back to the fire, Lin Mo sat down with a sullen face.
Liu Ying and others hurried over to comfort her, fearing that she would get angry.
"Momo, let's not be angry. She is just talking nonsense because she is mad with grief over the loss of her son. Don't bother with her." Liu Ying sighed.
"You haven't become a mother yet, so you don't know how painful it is to lose a child. Please understand her pain of losing a child, and let this matter be."
Lin Mo, “…”
The anger in her heart had originally dissipated, but after hearing what her mother said, her anger suddenly flared up.
Just because she suffered the pain of losing her son, should I bear her false accusations for no reason?
It turns out to be my biological mother.
Lin Mo really wanted to crack open her head to see what she was thinking about.
Lin Shuo, who was standing by, saw that his sister was almost speechless due to anger, and his mother was adding fuel to the fire.
He quickly reached out and pulled Liu Ying, who was still trying to speak, and said, "Mom, the porridge is ready. Go and have some first."
Damn, sometimes I really can’t tell right from wrong.
besides……
Lin Shuo was stunned. Why did he feel that he had become stronger?
He pulled his mother over with one pull. How strange!
Xu Wuyan sat down next to Lin Mo, "Don't be angry, your mother is kind."
Xu Wuyan spoke more subtly.
Lin Mo had a headache and shook his head:
"You don't need to comfort me. I know what kind of person my mother is."
Then he looked at Xu Pinggui who was standing beside him:
"Go and find out what happened by the pond.
Also, please find out who instigated Zhao Tong to come to you."
Without anyone's instigation, Zhao Tong would not come to find him. There must be someone behind the scenes who is inducing her.
Xu Pinggui nodded, handed the grilled fish to Xu Wuyan, and stood up to leave.
After Xu Pinggui left, Lin Mo casually made a fire.
Zhao Tong is a lunatic. If he can't get over it and keeps harassing himself, he will definitely get into trouble.
"Are you still angry?" Xu Wuyan asked in a low voice.
"No, I just feel a little uncomfortable." Lin Mo sighed:
"That was just a child. If only someone nearby had gone down, the child would not have lost his life."
"Don't think about it. Human nature cannot stand the test." Xu Wuyan shook his head.
In the middle of winter, if you soak in cold water without a change of clothes, you will definitely get sick.
If you get sick on this journey, it's like stepping into the gates of hell.
Everyone is afraid of death.
