When Huo Qiaoyu turned around, she saw Tan Shilei staggering towards her.
"Lei'er, what's wrong with you?" Huo Qiaoyu looked at Tan Shilei's weak appearance and hurried forward to support him.
"Mom..." As soon as Tan Shilei saw Huo Qiaoyu, he immediately threw himself into her arms, his voice choked with sobs.
Huo Qiaoyu's heart suddenly tightened and she quickly supported his back.
In fact, the ten-year-old Tan Shilei must be half a head taller than Huo Qiaoyu, and this posture seemed a bit weird to others.
"Don't cry first, tell mom what happened." Huo Qiaoyu loved her son so much that she didn't notice anything unusual at all.
"Mom, my dad didn't give me food and said he would beat me to death. I ran away to find you..." Tan Shilei's eyes were filled with tears.
When Huo Qiaoyu heard this, she became so angry that her face turned pale.
"That beast! How dare he lay hands on you? Come on, I'm going to take you back to settle accounts with him now."
Huo Qiaoyu took Tan Shilei's hand and prepared to go back.
"Mom, do you have anything to eat? I'm so hungry that I can't even walk." Tan Shilei stood there without moving, staring at Huo Qiaoyu.
Huo Qiaoyu's expression froze: "You came too late. We have just finished dinner."
"Have you finished eating? Didn't you leave any for me?" Tan Shilei's voice suddenly became higher, completely different from the weak look he had just shown.
Su Miaomiao's lips curled up in a mocking arc, and her eyes fell lightly on Tan Shilei.
"Your mother only has one meal, why would she leave it for you?"
"She is my mother!" Tan Shilei said righteously.
"You are still her son, so why don't you know to leave your share of the meal for your mother?" Su Miaomiao snorted coldly.
"I'm still a child. When I grow up, I will definitely take care of my mother." Tan Shilei said this very smoothly, as if he had said it thousands of times.
"Child? I walked around the mining area these two days and saw many children who were shorter and younger than you working. When you stand up, you are half a head taller than your mother, and you keep saying that you are a child. Aren't you ashamed at all?" Su Miaomiao was ruthless to people she didn't like.
"You..." Tan Shilei's chest rose and fell in anger. He turned his head and looked at Huo Qiaoyu beside him, "Mom, are you just going to let her bully me like this? Or are you really like what Dad said? In your heart, only your mother's family is your relatives, and we are all outsiders, right?"
"Of course not!" Huo Qiaoyu quickly denied, "I just forgot and thought your dad would prepare food for you. Don't worry, I will definitely leave some for you tomorrow."
"But I'm so hungry that I can't walk now." Tan Shilei was a little bit naughty.
"But I really have nothing to eat now." Huo Qiaoyu frowned.
Tan Shilei glanced at Su Miaomiao and the others out of the corner of his eye.
"Didn't you tell me before that your uncle and his family brought a lot of food? Ask them to give me some."
"These are my uncle's things. You can't say it so confidently." Huo Qiaoyu said in a serious tone.
"But didn't they bring those things here for us? Are they going to take them back new?" Tan Shilei didn't understand why his mother had become so stingy now.
There was nothing to eat before, and her mother would save her share for him.
But now Huo Jianguo and the others clearly brought more food, but she became so stingy.
"Lei'er, who told you that the things your third uncle and others brought were for you? Your father or your grandmother?" Huo Qiaoyu's voice became deep.
