"After arguing with Mom that day, Dad went out and never came back. After that, Mom remarried."
Lin Ying was trembling all over; she simply couldn't imagine that all of this was something a 3-year-old child had experienced.
She had always thought her life was miserable enough, but compared to this child, it was far worse.
After going through all of this, the child is still able to bravely face his life. The old man who once taught him must have paid a heavy price.
No wonder Haoyu turned out the way he did back then.
"I'm sorry, I apologize for not talking to you seriously before. I've been treating you like a child and ignoring you. But that's not a reason for what you did. You did this because I didn't listen to you. What will you do if others don't listen to you in the future? What will you do? Everyone is an independent individual. You can't impose your thoughts on others. That's wrong."
In fact, even if I don't hear you speak, you can show me through your actions that you are truly capable of taking care of your younger siblings, instead of resorting to such extreme methods.
Haoyu, your aunt knows you're a smart child, and you know you understand what I'm saying. What I want to say is, before you do anything, if you can't judge whether something is right or wrong, then consider this: if someone treated you like that, would you be angry?
Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you. Only when you respect others will they respect you. Do you understand?
Seeing that Haoyu remained silent, Lin Ying sighed, "It's come to this, I won't say anything more. Since this child is what you wanted, then you'll take responsibility for everything related to this child from now on, okay?"
Haoyu nodded affirmatively upon hearing this: "Okay!"
With their conversation over, Lin Ying became even more cautious. She then began to let Haoyu do what he could.
Of course, Haoyu and Shuanzi also started washing dishes and mopping the floor.
Worried the bowl is too big? No problem, Lin Ying switched to ceramic ones, which are durable and shatterproof.
To be honest, Lin Ying is currently in a dilemma; she doesn't know how to educate Haoyu properly.
She always thought she would be Haoyu's salvation, but now it seems that Haoyu's life is even more difficult than hers.
She used to be rebellious and misanthropic. Now, how could she believe she could raise Haoyu to be someone different from herself?
It's too difficult, really too difficult.
To put it bluntly, Lin Ying believes she could easily feed ten more children. However, the hardest part of raising children isn't food and drink, but rather their moral education.
Being responsible for a child is not just about providing for their material needs. Most importantly, it's about ensuring the child's physical and mental well-being.
Can one maintain a kind heart when facing problems?
Because she didn't have a proper conversation with Haoyu, he did something so extreme. If someone angered him, would he do even more things like that? Lin Ying didn't even dare to think about it.
Perhaps because of her pregnancy, Lin Ying is now very pessimistic, but she can't show it in front of her children.
Haoyu saw this situation and was very worried. He wondered if he had really done something wrong.
When Zhao Qinghuai returned and saw Lin Ying's appearance, he was startled. Even the malevolent aura that would normally require a bath to dissipate vanished completely at that moment.
Her eyes welled up with tears: "What's wrong with you?"
Lin Ying burst into tears upon seeing Zhao Qinghuai, then went over and hugged him, biting his neck hard.
Zhao Qinghuai remained silent and let Lin Ying vent her anger.
After Lin Ying calmed down, she applied medicine and bandaged Zhao Qinghuai's wound.
"Let's talk," Haoyu said, looking at Erya.
He then walked out ahead of Zhao Qinghuai.
Lin Ying and Zhao Qinghuai arrived at the back mountain: "I'm pregnant."
Zhao Qinghuai was taken aback: "What?"
Lin Ying looked at him and repeated, "I said I'm pregnant."
Zhao Qinghuai asked almost immediately, "Is there something wrong with that condom?"
For some reason, Lin Ying suddenly wanted to laugh: "Don't you suspect that I messed around after you left?"
Zhao Qinghuai said, "I know you better than you know yourself. So, is it really a problem with that set? No, if it were that simple, you wouldn't be like this. What exactly happened?"
Thinking about the pressure she had been under lately, Lin Ying couldn't help but want to bite Zhao Qinghuai again.
"Yes, I won't do anything reckless after you leave, but others might."
Zhao Qinghuai was a little confused: "What do you mean? Who's messing around? Someone from our compound? No, what does this have to do with your pregnancy? Are you being bullied?" The sudden thought made Zhao Qinghuai lose his temper and forget that he had just suspected that the family planning products were the problem.
Don't overthink it.
Lin Ying told Zhao Qinghuai about what had recently happened.
Still furious, she punched Zhao Qinghuai in the chest again. But she underestimated her strength, and Zhao Qinghuai was pushed away by Lin Ying, falling to the ground.
This scene left the two of them both amused and exasperated.
The urge to complain disappeared.
Lin Ying was so frustrated that she couldn't stand it anymore. She stopped looking at Zhao Qinghuai and prepared to turn back.
However, seeing Lin Ying's expression, Zhao Qinghuai knew that she hadn't vented her anger, so he quickly got up to stop her: "Sorry, sorry, I'm too weak."
Lin Ying burst into laughter, then started crying.
"Zhao Qinghuai, you bastard, you handed me such a difficult problem. What am I supposed to do? This child carries such a heavy burden of resentment, how can I help him become a better person?"
What right do I have to make him not hate me? Can you bring his father back to life? Can you bring his grandfather back to life? He was a child! A very intelligent child, a child who could have had a wonderful family and would have definitely become a pillar of the nation in the future.
But now, what do you want him to do? To stop hating his family? To stop hating his mother? Or to stop hating the country that took his grandfather's life because of social unrest and the selfishness of some people?
Hearing Lin Ying's words, Zhao Qinghuai couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He knew that Lin Ying would definitely treat Haoyu well because she had an unhappy childhood and she understood the child's suffering best.
However, he hadn't expected Lin Ying to have such a heavy burden. He also hadn't expected Haoyu to do something so extreme.
"Leave it to me. You just need to get a good night's sleep. Everything will be taken care of when you wake up, okay?"
Lin Ying finally breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zhao Qinghuai's serious expression.
Suddenly everything went black; I don't know if I fell asleep or fainted.
When Lin Ying woke up again, she saw Zhao Qinghuai beside her, with Haoyu standing next to him.
