☆, Chapter 33
Xi Mo listened for a while, feeling unmoved. She picked up the things and turned to leave. When she looked up, she saw Xiu Yangui standing not far away, with his brows lowered and his eyes deep.
The people over there were still talking non-stop. The words that had not been harsh at first became unbearable at this moment. Xi Mo approached Xiu Yangui and said, "Let's go."
The two went upstairs in silence. Little Moli had already fallen asleep in her nest ten minutes ago.
Just now, Xiu Yangui saw that Xi Mo had not arrived yet and had not received a reply to his message, so he went downstairs to find her and heard those words with her.
Little Moli fell asleep, and Chen Nianyu was called back home by his parents. Now only Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo were in the living room.
Xiu Yangui leaned back on the sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze. It was those words again, and because of him, he had dragged Xi Mo down again.
"sorry."
The young man apologized in a rare serious tone. Xi Mo looked at Xiu Yangui and said, "Don't apologize. You're not wrong."
Xiu Yangui collapsed on the sofa and sighed, "It's my fault. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be scolded by them."
"Returning from the banquet..."
"Xi Mo...don't come here again."
Xi Mo did not answer, and the two fell into silence again. Xiu Yangui was obviously dressed warmly and the air conditioner was on at home, so why was he still so cold? It was like being in a snowy winter, with the cold snow falling unscrupulously on his body, damp and icy, like a sharp blade.
His mother, Wu Manlin, used to be the most beautiful girl in the town. She wanted to leave this small and shabby hometown and go to a bigger place, but Wu Manlin was too eager for quick success.
She was anxious and thought that if she wanted to get ahead, she should rely on men instead of herself.
To put it nicely, it is to live a good life. To put it bluntly, it is fickle and will do anything for money, fame and fortune.
Before she became pregnant with Xiu Yangui, she had been moving around with different men. She didn't ask for anything else but money, fame and fortune. She didn't care whether they had families or not. As long as they could help her, she would stay with them.
Later, she met Xiu Yangui's biological father, Xiu Shangzhu. Xiu Shangzhu was the richest and most handsome man she knew, so she became pregnant.
He made a fortune by relying on the child Xiu Yangui, on the condition that Xiu Yangui would take his father's surname. However, Wu Manlin could not get rid of Xiu Yangui, this little burden, nor could she marry into a wealthy family and become a rich wife, because Xiu Shangzhu was already married, and Wu Manlin knew about it.
Xiu Shangzhu and Wu Manlin just get what they want, and Xiu Yangui is a tool for Wu Manlin to make a fortune.
Later, Wu Manlin brought Xiu Yan back to the edge of the city, ready to start her own business with the money she had accumulated over the years.
Originally, their life was pretty good, and Wu Manlin took care of Xiu Yangui like a mother. Although it was not perfect, it was still warm and harmonious.
But the good times didn't last long. A beautiful and hot woman with a child would always be hurt for no reason.
There will always be indecent and disgusting men who want to get Wu Manlin, and there will always be blind and jealous women who slander Wu Manlin, spread rumors, and insult her. It is hard to guard against them. In addition, the person in Xiu Shangzhu's family is fanning the flames and making trouble.
Soon, Wu Manlin began to give up on herself again, smoking, drinking, and playing cards. Xiu Yangui had to live his life according to other people's wishes at such a young age.
He didn't understand anything. He didn't know what he had done wrong, why his mother didn't like him, why the neighbors always frowned at him, and why the neighbors didn't let their children play with him.
He became very concerned about what others said and looked at him.
Later they moved from that small place to a bigger place. Wu Manlin spent almost all of her savings and bought a house in this community to start a new life again.
Here, Wu Manlin and Xiu Yangui seemed to have been reborn. The people around them did not say anything hurtful or disgusting just because they were orphans and widows. Instead, they took good care of them.
Wu Manlin started working again, and when she was busy she would inevitably neglect to take care of Xiu Yangui, but Xiu Yangui was already very content and was also very grateful to Wu Manlin.
Because here, he met Xi Mo.
Encountered his light.
Xi Mo is the most popular child in this place. She has a good family background, is good-looking, and has a good personality. All adults and children like her very much, and Xiu Yangui is no exception.
Xiu Yangui transferred to the kindergarten here. He didn't learn anything in school. He learned to be naughty and make trouble without any guidance. He vented his emotions in his own way and was willful and domineering. If he was unhappy, others could not be happy either.
The children in the community and other residential areas were unwilling to play with him because he was often dirty and liked to play tricks on people, but Xiu Yangui never bothered Xi Mo, would not scare her with insects, and would not suddenly appear behind her and yell.
Later, Wu Manlin and Ruan Wenwen opened a beauty salon together, and the relationship between Xiu Yangui and Xi Mo also improved.
The days in kindergarten and elementary school were the happiest times for Xiu Yangui, but the person from Xiu Shangzhu's family appeared again.
Perhaps she found out that Wu Manlin and her illegitimate son were living a prosperous life, which made her unhappy.
Then came the dark days.
Rumors began to spread in the community that the man of so-and-so's family had hooked up with Wu Manlin, and that the family was getting a divorce, so other women were told to be wary of Wu Manlin, saying that she was a slutty bitch.
Then others jumped out, righteously, using loudspeakers to publicize all that Wu Manlin had done, saying she was a mistress who seduced men, and that her son was also illegitimate and unpresentable! Neither mother nor son were good people, both despised the poor and in love with the rich! They were morally corrupt!
Wu Manlin was upset, but Xiu Yan returned and ran to question her if it was true.
Wu Manlin, irritated, yelled at him, "Yeah, I only like money. Can't you see that?"
"I've never liked you! And you, aren't you a bastard? They're right, you're a fatherless child. Even your biological father doesn't want you. Do you know why? He already has a wife and children at home! He doesn't want you!"
Wu Manlin cried and shouted to him many times, "He doesn't want you." The young Xiu Yangui didn't know whether Wu Manlin meant Xiu Shangzhu didn't want him or her.
For a while, Wu Manlin and Xiu Yangui were guarded against and targeted by everyone in the community, but life was not that difficult. The people in this community were of high quality, and those who insulted them were basically elderly people and ignorant children.
The worst thing those uncles and aunts had ever done was to look away when they saw the mother and son appear, and they would not do anything else.
There was not much change in Xiu Yangui's life. He was silent for a few days, and then he went back to playing around here and there. It didn't matter even if other children didn't want to play with him, because he still had Xi Mo.
Xi Mo had heard those words, but she didn't care at all. When Xiu Yangui asked her to play with her, she still played with him the same way, with the same gentle attitude as usual.
She is Xiu Yangui's favorite little friend. Maybe Xi Mo is the one who attracts his family. He likes Xi Mo, and Wu Manlin, who hates children the most, will also be very gentle to Xi Mo.
Xi Mo also likes Wu Manlin. When Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen are not at home, Wu Manlin will invite Xi Mo to her house and treat her to delicious food and drinks.
Later, everything changed.
Uncle Fang, who had always been very kind to him, was arrested and put in jail. The beauty salon opened by Wu Manlin and Ruan Wenwen went bankrupt. Wu Manlin abandoned Xiu Yangui and ran away to go abroad, leaving Xiu Yangui alone in this community.
Did Wu Manlin love him? No, she didn't. She just stayed with Xiu Yangui reluctantly because she had nowhere else to go. If she found a better option, she would abandon him without mercy.
Wu Manlin's departure did not make Xiu Yangui's situation better. Instead, it made him the target of public criticism and left him isolated and helpless.
Uncle Fang's wife, Fang Sai's mother, slapped him in the face in front of everyone in the community, pushed him to the ground, kicked him, and loudly cursed Wu Manlin, who had already fled.
"That bitch of your mother just left like that? Huh? How dare she leave!"
"After seducing my husband, she went abroad with another sucker, right?"
"Why does she have the right? One isn't enough and she has to seduce another!"
"It wasn't enough to seduce Fang Guoxiang, she also instigated him to embezzle public funds to take her away! Did you know that Fang Guoxiang is in jail? Your Uncle Fang is in jail!"
"Did that damn woman, your mother, tell you? No, she doesn't want you anymore."
"She left you behind and ran away!"
Fang Sai's mother had messy and dry hair, and stared at him with a pair of swollen and ugly eyes. When she spoke loudly, her saliva sprayed on Xiu Yangui's face and clothes.
"I have no idea."
Xiu Yangui had a cold face. As a junior high school student, he was too young and his face had not yet fully developed. It was difficult to tell his gender, and he looked 70% similar to Wu Manlin.
Fang Sai's mother attacked Xiu Yangui like crazy, as if she mistook him for Wu Manlin. "It's all your fault! It's all your fault! It's all your fault!"
"Bitch! Bitch! Why don't you just die? You're seducing someone else's husband, you slut!"
"Why don't you just die! Why don't you just die! You're destroying other people's families! You deserve to be struck by lightning! You won't die a good death!"
After being pulled away by the crowd, she collapsed on the ground and cried, "Why is my life so miserable? What sin have I committed?"
"Wu Manlin! How have I ever wronged you? Of all the men out there, why do you choose Fang Guoxiang? I have children to take care of, too!"
"You're so good, you have money and a man, but you don't even want your own child! How can you be a mother? You have no shame!"
After scolding Wu Manlin, he scolded Fang Guoxiang like crazy, "What kind of man are you if you can't control those two ounces of flesh? You give all your money to other women, right? I was wondering why you started working out and getting in shape! It's all for Wu Manlin!"
"I bought so much fruit and milk for Wu Manlin's family, but I can't even pay for my own son's tuition! Is this how you act as a father?"
Xiu Yangui endured the pain and stood up. Looking at the grief-stricken woman in front of him, he turned around and was about to leave, but the unconscious woman grabbed his arm tightly.
The woman with a distorted face knelt on the ground, "Auntie, please, call your mother back. My family has no money left, absolutely nothing! We're still in debt!"
"Your uncle Fang Guoxiang was so good to you before. In his heart, even his own sons are not as important as you. Call your mother back."
"Fang Sai has lost all the money for her studies, ahhhh."
Seeing Xiu Yangui standing there indifferently, she wanted to slap him again, "You're just like that bitch of your mother, scorning the poor and loving the rich, right? Now that my family has no money, you don't even look at us straight in the eye. You used to play with Fang Sai, but now you just take care of yourself, right?"
"Haha, I know. You have a next home. You have Xi Mo. Her family is rich. You like her, right?"
"Call your mother back. Xi Yicheng has money too. Go ask him for it and climb into his bed!"
“Hahahahahahahaha.”
The woman had completely gone mad and was talking without restraint. She was dragged back by her neighbors, leaving Xiu Yangui standing there alone, weak and helpless.
After a while, Fang Sai appeared and pushed Xiu Yangui to the ground again. "Xiu Yangui, you and your mother should die together. You both deserve to die."
"It's all your fault!"
Xiu Yangui lowered his head and looked at the ground. There was silence all around him and he was the only one left. Why did it turn out like this? Why did things turn out like this? How could it turn out like this?
In confusion and helplessness, Xiu Yangui got up and went to find Xi Mo.
Yes, and Xi Mo, Xi Mo is still here, they have the best relationship, Xi Mo will definitely stand on his side, Xi Mo will not scold him like others.
However, Xi Mo did not open the door for him.
Xi Yicheng and Ruan Wenwen stayed at home for a rare time. Knowing that it was Xiu Yangui knocking on the door, they asked the aunt at home to ask Xiu Yangui to leave.
What's going on? Is Xi Mo not home? Why can't I go in?
Yes, Xi Mo is definitely not at home.
Come back tomorrow.
Xiu Yangui rubbed his sore and achy eyes, and couldn't help but wait at the door of Xi Mo's house for another two hours. Later, he had no choice but to limp home as it was too cold at night.
Fortunately, I didn’t meet anyone on the way home, otherwise I would have been glared at again.
Xiu Yangui comforted himself before going to bed, thinking that he would see Xi Mo at school tomorrow. Then he would ask her why she didn't open the door for him. Aren't they his best friends?
Tears rolled down from the corners of his eyes, soaking the pillow. The little boy's soft sobs echoed in the empty and cold room.
He originally thought he would be able to see Xi Mo the next day, but Xi Mo didn't come to school for several days, and he couldn't go to Xi Mo's house again because Fang Sai hired someone to block him and beat him.
He didn't have time to look for Xi Mo, nor could he look for Xi Mo, as he couldn't implicate Xi Mo.
Young people's malice and hatred are always fierce. After Fang Guoxiang went to jail, his family had no money, so Fang Sai and his mother moved away. The family owed a lot of debts and had to sell the house to pay for Fang Sai's studies. However, Fang Sai became a rebellious teenager who only wanted to live a life of idleness and fighting.
Every time he causes trouble for Xiu Yangui, he always says the same few words.
"It's all your fault that I became like this!"
