280 I am not yours, I am my own
Mo Jiazhe is indeed Auntie Zhong’s son. When everyone asked what was wrong with the child, he said lightly, “He is not my biological child, so I beat him too hard.”
Someone immediately recognized that Pang Pang was Li Qiuju’s child. The Li family had been beating their children for a long time.
Pang Pang had a loud voice and cried when he was beaten. Only Li Qiuju could not hear him because she was in a state of “meditation”, but the neighbors often heard his crying.
After hearing what Mo Jiazhe said, what else was there to not understand?
So now, everyone’s spit could really kill Li Dongliang.
Li Dongliang realized the seriousness of the matter belatedly.
“Go home first.” Li Dongliang said as he was about to pick up the child.
"Wait, this is the medical expenses. These are the medicines the doctor prescribed for the child.
And these, the doctor said that Pangpang's legs and buttocks were injured and need to be taken care of. He asked me to buy some maltose and supplements for him."
Mo Jiazhe handed the receipts and things to Li Dongliang: "I paid for it. Here is the list. See if you have any questions."
Li Dongliang took the bill and almost gasped. His monthly salary was only more than 50 yuan, and Mo Jiazhe spent more than a month's salary in one go.
What else could he say at this time?
"No problem, but I don't have that much money on me, I'll go back and get it for you."
Mo Jiazhe said, "Okay, there are so many people watching anyway, I'm not afraid of you defaulting on my debt, but favors are favors, and the amount must be clear, you should still write me an IOU, I'm too lazy to argue with you later."
Mo Jiazhe is actually a very peaceful person, and rarely gets so sharp.
But looking at what happened to Pang Pang, and then looking at this indifferent man.
He really can't be peaceful.
The psychological damage caused by indifference to a child of a few years old is sometimes more difficult to heal than physical damage.
This couple really doesn't deserve to have a child, one destroys Pang Pang's body, and the other destroys his spirit.
Pang Pang is so generous that he doesn't care about the stuttering.
If it was a sensitive child like Fu Yuanhang, who knows how sad he would be.
Li Dongliang felt that his personality was insulted, so his face was naturally not very good.
But he and Mo Jiazhe were not related, so there was nothing wrong with him doing this.
Even if he was dissatisfied, he couldn't say anything. He glanced at him coldly and lowered his head to write the IOU.
The aunt next to him couldn't stand it: "What kind of attitude do you have? People helped you send the child to the hospital, running around, and paying for the medical expenses, but they didn't even take a sip of water. You didn't even say thank you, and just asked about the child's condition, as if they owed you something. Do they owe you something?!"
"That's right, you can't let him take the child back like this, you don't know if he will be beaten again, and no one will know when the door is closed."
"Yes, yes, Pangpang, you will go back with grandma later. They treated you like that, don't go back with them."
"Yes, Pangpang, you can go to auntie's house, as long as auntie has a bite to eat, you will have it."
...
Pangpang actually didn't know that he was picked up, and before everyone said that he didn't care much.
He found that his parents seemed to be really different from other people's parents.
There is no need to compare with Chenchen's parents, even compared with Guoguo's parents, they are far behind.
Not to mention asking about each other's well-being, they rarely talk to each other.
Except for eating together at night and after his mother beats him, he usually finds food by himself when he is hungry or thirsty.
If there is food in the pot, he will eat it by himself. If there is nothing, sometimes he will chew raw sweet potatoes, sometimes he will eat fruits... In short, he will eat whatever he can eat to fill his stomach.
This is also the reason why he is willing to be beaten for stuttering.
As long as he didn't tell anyone about the beatings, he could make demands, such as eating meat, eggs, and hot food...
He liked going to school, liked Chenchen, Dongdong, and Guoguo, and liked chatting with Grandma Wang next door. He didn't seem to like his home or his parents very much.
Could it be that he was really not his parents' biological child?
Pangpang didn't really know what biological children meant, but he understood the meaning of "picked up". In short, he was different from other people's parents. He was not theirs, but they picked him up.
"Dad, was I really picked up by you?"
Li Dongliang automatically blocked out the outside voices. He was too lazy to argue with these uneducated gossips.
What's the difference between arguing with a fool?
Hearing Pangpang's question out of the blue, his writing hand paused.
"Why are you asking this?"
Pangpang looked at him very seriously: "The one who was picked up means I was not originally your child, right?"
Li Dongliang looked up at him, it seemed that he had never really looked at this "son" seriously. He
just thought he was a little silly and naughty, which made Li Qiuju so angry that she often hit him.
But how hard could she hit a child? He didn't pay attention. He
really didn't know that Li Qiuju could hit him so hard.
He didn't like children in the first place, and it was just right that he couldn't have children.
But Li Qiuju insisted on picking up a child, and he didn't say anything. Just raise the child, anyway, Li Qiuju had nothing to do. They didn't tell anyone, and others didn't know that the child was picked up.
But Li Dongliang couldn't understand why things had suddenly become so public.
He planned to meet Li Qiuju to ask her clearly.
"Whether you were adopted or not, you are our child." Li Dongliang said.
Pangpang shook his head, his eyes very firm:
"It's different. I am not yours because I was adopted. I am my own.
I don't want to be your child. I want to change to a parent like Chenchen's parent. I don't want a parent like you."
