The boy was speaking when he suddenly saw Xiao Chenshi being choked in front of the desk, and his hand trembled in fright.
The chicken leg fell to the ground with a thud.
She rushed forward and grabbed Xiao Zhong's hand. "Father, please don't hit Mother. If you want to hit someone, hit Yan'er. It must be that Yan'er misbehaved and angered Father. It has nothing to do with Mother. Please don't hit her. Hit Yan'er instead, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chenshi's eyes, which had begun to glaze over, regained some light.
She gently shook her head at Xiao Jinyan.
After opening and closing his lips for a long time, he finally managed to utter the word "go".
"No, Yan'er won't leave, Yan'er won't leave. Wherever Mother is, Yan'er will stay." Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinyan immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.
Clutching the man's hand, she tried to hit her own neck, her amber eyes already bloodshot. "Father, please let go of Mother... Stop hitting her, Mother can't breathe, please let go!"
Yan'er was wrong today. If you want to hit someone, hit Yan'er. It has nothing to do with Mother.
It's Yan'er's fault. Yan'er shouldn't have been naughty. He shouldn't have run into the chicken coop to catch the chicks. He shouldn't have gotten his newly washed clothes dirty. He shouldn't have upset his father. It's okay if his father hits Yan'er. It's not Mother's fault. If Father hits Yan'er, don't let Mother do it..."
But compared to Xiao Zhong, his strength was like a mayfly trying to shake a giant tree.
It has absolutely no effect whatsoever.
Xiao Chenshi's eyelids began to droop uncontrollably, and the sound of her son sobbing in her ear made her heart ache terribly.
At this moment, she suddenly felt a pang of regret. If she had foreseen this situation, she might have chosen to starve to death on the road during the famine eighteen years ago, which would have been a quicker and more painless end.
Just as he was about to breathe his last.
She heard the man's hoarse, wet voice say, "I'm sparing you this time for Yan'er's sake, but this is the last time."
"You'd better remember what you should and shouldn't say from now on."
Immediately afterwards, the restraints on her neck were loosened, and Xiao Chenshi was thrown back into the water like a fish out of water, collapsing limply to the ground, panting heavily.
"Mother! Mother!" Xiao Jinyan's sobs stopped abruptly, and he sat down heavily on the ground, gently holding the woman in his arms. "If Yan'er holds Mother, Mother won't hurt anymore, be good, it won't hurt anymore, Yan'er holds Mother, and all the pain will go away, go away..."
Although the boy's chest was thin, it already showed signs of being broad.
Xiao Chenshi leaned against his chest, stunned, gradually recovering from the shadow of death. Tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, her cries heart-wrenching and agonizing. "Yan'er! My Yan'er, my Yan'er... I almost didn't get to see you again... Waaah... Yan'er... my son..."
"Why is Mother crying?" Xiao Jinyan stared blankly at the tears falling on his shoulder.
He thought for a moment, then reached out his little hand and gently patted the back of the woman's head, coaxing her softly as he did so: "Mother, don't cry, don't cry. Yan'er will always stay by Mother's side and will never let Mother not see Yan'er. Yan'er will be a good boy and listen to Mother and will never leave Mother alone."
And there's Hui Niang. Hui Niang will always stay with her mother along with Yan'er. She just stewed a big pot of chicken for her mother.
Yan'er gave all the chicken legs to Mother today, so please don't cry, Mother.
There were also chicken wings, all for Mother to eat…
