Chapter 241 The Disliked Child
The boy didn't say anything else.
Not far away.
Jiang Ruan Ning looked down at Xiao Jie who was already in tears: "Do you still want to go home now?"
"I didn't jump into the river." Xiao Jie sobbed, "Sister, I didn't jump into the river. I didn't do it on purpose. I just wanted to go to the river to catch crabs and crayfish for my brother to eat. My brother said he likes to eat crayfish and crabs."
That day was my brother’s birthday.
Mom, Dad and my brother went to the amusement park in the county.
He wants to go too.
But mom said that the money at home was only enough to take my brother out to play, so she asked him to stay at home and she would take him out on his next birthday.
He was unhappy.
Because my mom always says so.
When it was his birthday, his mother wouldn't take him to the amusement park at all.
But even though he was unhappy, he still listened to his mother and stayed at home obediently.
He knew that his mother liked obedient children.
He felt that as long as he was well-behaved and obedient, his mother would be happy and would definitely take him to the amusement park next time on his birthday.
It’s his brother’s birthday and he wants to give him a birthday present.
But he had no money.
He remembered that his brother liked to eat crabs and crayfish, so he wanted to go to the river to catch some.
Opposite their house there is a river with lots of small fish and shrimps...
He was catching crayfish by the river at first, and then he saw a big, fat crayfish swimming into the river, so he chased it. As he was chasing, he was drowned.
The cold river water choked his mouth and nose...
He felt like he couldn't breathe. He wanted to shout for help, but no sound came out of his mouth.
When he saw his mother again, he ran towards her excitedly and threw himself into her arms crying, wanting to tell her that he was very cold and scared, and wanted her to hug him and take him home.
But his body penetrated my mother.
No matter what he did, he could never have his mother again.
He was clearly standing next to his mother and kept calling her, but his mother seemed not to see him or hear his voice.
Later, he saw the uncles in the village fish a man out of the river.
That person was actually himself.
He heard those uncles saying to his mother something like, "Aunt Lin, your son is dead, please accept my condolences."
"Xiao Jie!" His brother, who was wearing new clothes bought in the county town and holding a toy he had never seen before, hugged him and started crying.
His brother stuffed the car into his hands and told him while crying that it was a toy car he bought for him.
Let him open his eyes and take a look.
But my mother came over, pulled my brother up, and said fiercely, "Junjun, stay away from him. The water ghost is very resentful, he will drag you into the river and use you as a scapegoat."
"You are not allowed to play by the river anymore."
Later.
My mother asked the uncles to dig a hole and bury him by the river.
There is not even a tombstone on his grave.
People in the village said that children who jumped into the river to die would be very resentful and would turn into evil ghosts that harm people. Also, because they died at a very young age, they would be very homesick and would haunt their families in the future.
When his mother heard this, she was very scared, so she found a Taoist priest and trapped him by the river.
He couldn't go home again.
He missed his mother, his brother, and his father very much...
Today he finally realized his wish of so many years and can go home.
But it turned out that Mom didn't want to see him at all.
