"Mom, why did you hit me?" Tan Zi'an felt a little wronged; he hadn't said anything wrong.
"I think I haven't hit you enough. You're really something. You can't even afford your own tuition, and you're thinking about saving others."
Mo Yan looked around and finally spotted a feather duster. She walked over, picked it up, and started whipping his buttocks.
"Aww, Mom, stop hitting me! Stop hitting me!"
"Ouch! Mom, stop hitting me! It hurts so much, Mom..."
"Mom, it hurts so much, it really hurts so much."
His mother hit him too hard! It really hurt.
"Pain?" Mo Yan sneered, "What's this? You only have a sore butt, but my heart aches. You heartless ingrate."
Seeing this, Li Qian was terrified and slowly moved outside, saying, "Auntie, I... I'd better go back first."
After saying that, Li Qian ran away. Tan Zian looked back and saw that Li Qian was running faster than anyone else.
"flourishing……"
Tan Zian wanted to say, "Qianqian, don't go back. You'll be sold if you go back." But the next second, he didn't have time to care about anything else; Mo Yan started hitting him again.
"I've always been too good to you, which is why you've become such an ungrateful person."
Starting today, I will do my own things.
If you can't earn money, don't even think about going to school.
Tan Zian: "..."
Tan Zian wanted to resist, but then he remembered what his teacher had said, "Mom, everyone is equal now, you can't hit me anymore."
Oh, so they know that everyone is equal. "Okay, you're right, everyone is equal, so shouldn't you also go out and earn money to support your family?"
Then you should hurry up and go out to make money, and then bring it back to support your mother.
Regardless of the era, whether it's a new era or any other, filial piety is always right, it's a matter of course, it's the most basic morality.
Tan Zian was speechless. What could someone with his small frame possibly do outside?
he……
Their school had many progressive teachers who taught them a lot, such as how to shout slogans.
What about equality for all, breaking down feudal ideas, and having human rights...?
What's the use of just shouting? You need to consider the actual situation.
"Mother, I'm still young." Tan Zi'an felt a little guilty when he said this.
Mo Yan looked at him coldly and interrupted him directly.
“You’re not a child anymore. When your parents were your age, they had to go out to earn money to support the family. If they couldn’t earn money, there would be nothing to eat when they came home. You really are not a child anymore.”
Besides, as you said yourself, this is a new society where everyone is equal. So if I make money, don't you also have to make money?
Go to the village and see for yourself. Aren't all the kids your age already out helping their parents earn money? Aren't they already finding ways to support themselves? You're the only one who takes it for granted that I'll support you, and now you want me to support others? Have you lost all your conscience?
Tan Zian: "..."
Tan Zian's buttocks were in great pain. He touched his buttocks and looked at his mother with great discomfort. "Mom, you can't say that. Qianqian has really had a hard time. Her parents want to sell her to an old man as a maid. That's not right. That's feudal thinking."
And he even wants Qianqian to be his wife, isn't that shameless?
We were thinking of her as my wife.
Mo Yan's lips twitched, utterly speechless. "How old are you? In the future, people will say you're lying to children. You can't even support yourself, yet you want to support others. You should really think about your own worth."
Tan Zian: "..."
Mo Yan looked at his defiant expression and spoke.
"Tan Zian, let me put it this way, you can also run away with Li Qian. You two kids can go begging, you can become scammers, or you can share your new ideas and see if any suckers will give you money."
Tan Zian: "..." His mother said, "This is so infuriating."
"You can earn your own money. When you have money, then you can go and be a hero and save the damsel in distress. Don't try to be a hero when you can't even support yourself."
Tan Zian: "..."
Tan Zian felt a little sad. He looked at his mother and said, "But Mother, you weren't like this before. You used to be so gentle and kind."
“Yes, you’re right,” Mo Yan agreed. “I was so naive back then. With your dad at home or us making money, I didn’t have to worry about anything. If the sky fell, your dad would be there for me. But that’s not the case now. Your dad isn’t home, so I have to take the lead.”
Only then did I realize how terrible I had been, how foolish I had been to spend your father's money to help others. Your father worked so hard to earn money, and I had spent it on completely unrelated people, forcing him to go out and earn his own future.
"Tan Zi'an, I only have two silver dollars right now. I can give you one, and from now on we're officially splitting up. Whether you live or die is none of my business, how about it?"
Tan Zian: "..."
Tan Zi'an didn't know what to say. He...
he……
He didn't have the courage.
"mother……"
"If you can't do that, then stay home obediently."
"Tan Zi'an, if you want to be an ingrate, you should say so now, or I'll just throw you out."
Tan Zian quickly shook his head. He didn't. He didn't want to be an ingrate. He knew that his mother was having a hard time.
My mother was really well taken care of by my father, and so was he.
But later, Dad passed away, and Mom started taking care of him all by herself, doing laundry, cooking, and making tofu. She was very tired.
"Mother, I know you're tired, and I want to help you, and..."
