Chapter 622 Mother Zhou Admits Her Mistake 2
Zhou Zihuai shook his head and took a step back.
Xu Wei took a few careful looks and confirmed that Zhou Zihuai had no injuries. After thinking for a while, she said to Zhou Ma:
"Zihuai's mother, it is Ye Jiu and the others who are the ones who are doing the reciprocity. Zihuai was implicated, it's not his fault."
In fact, after Ma Xiaowen finished speaking, Zhou's mother knew she regretted it.
She opened her mouth and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "...Zi Huai."
Zhou Zihuai did not respond to her, but raised his head, looked at Xu Wei and said, "Aunt Xu, don't say that."
He licked his lips, his throat a little dry, "Fu Zhi always helps me a lot, and so do Song Fang and the others. I am very grateful to you for not feeling that I have implicated them."
When the boy spoke, his attitude was sincere and serious, as if he was talking about the most important thing in the world, with a truth that no one could ignore, "Thank you for caring about me."
His eyes were sparkling, just like a puppy on the street that was wet from the rain and looked at you with trusting eyes. Xu Wei's eyes suddenly felt sore, as if someone had grabbed her heart and tore it hard.
Mother Zhou, who also heard these words, turned pale as paper.
Her son's words were like a loud slap in the face, which hit her rudely. Her whole face was burning with pain and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Looking at the mothers who trust their children unconditionally...she couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Did she really do nothing wrong?
——
Mother Zhou, in a daze, followed a group of children and parents out of the police station and went to a nearby restaurant for dinner.
Song Fang's mother treated us to dinner, and she was very generous.
Zhao Chunyan and her fat mother, the sports committee member, rushed to the hospital to continue their plastic surgery. They came and left in a hurry.
"Mother Zihuai, this is the last egg tart left. I'll give it to you."
Just as Xu Wei finished speaking, Ye Jiu poked his head out of the private room and shouted, "Mom, Lu Yumo said his crotch was split when he fell down and did a split. I want to ask you where did you put his limited edition beggar pants?"
Xu Wei: "First, we can rule out the kitchen."
Ye Jiu gave a thumbs up: "Mom, you are awesome! So reliable! I am proud of you!"
Xu Wei smiled shyly.
Mother Zhou looked at Xu Wei and Ye Jiu with some envy, "Your son is so good to you... and Fu Zhi, who also has good grades. You have a good vision in adopting a child. You will definitely enjoy a happy old age, unlike my son..."
She couldn't remember how long it had been since Zihuai was willing to be as open-hearted and act like a spoiled child in front of her as Ye Jiu was in her family.
"But Zihuai is also very good to you!"
"You don't understand." Mother Zhou sighed, "I raised him since he was a child, but he got angry with me in front of others just because I did something wrong."
She even said, "You don't even know where your son's pants are, but I personally take care of everything for Zihuai. In terms of dedication, I am more than a hundred times better than you, but I don't get his gratitude in return, unlike you, who can make a profit twice as soon as you do a business."
Xu Wei pursed her lips and said, "I raise Zhizhi and Yejiu because I like them, not because I consider this as an investment."
"Philosophers say that children are living individuals. You can't expect them to repay you for your old age before you treat them well. Impure love is too suffocating and selfish, and that's why they have extreme ideas."
"If a boy has extreme ideas, doesn't that mean he is too fragile?"
"Who isn't vulnerable? Your child is a blank sheet of paper from birth. It is you who shaped him into what he is today. He is a reflection of your education."
Xu Wei paused, and then continued, "Fangfang said that Zihuai will be asked to suspend his studies. In fact, the Lu family can give him a scholarship. Zihuai's mother, you should consider your child more."
"But my family is being harassed for debt..."
Xu Wei was a little unhappy. "Gambling debt is a bottomless pit. That's the fault of you adults. You can't blackmail your child. Your child doesn't have the ability to make money now. You can't force him. It's unfair to him."
Mother Zhou was silent for a moment.
I feel that Xu Wei is a bit too picky.
The Lu family is well-off, so of course they don't need their children to go out to work.
But she was desperate. Apart from being selfish and letting the child suffer, she had no other solution. Besides, Zhao Wu said that he would definitely change in the future...
——
After dinner, Song Fang’s mother hired a car to take the group of children home.
Before Fu Zhilin got on the bus, he met with Zhou's mother alone and handed her a phone number. "If you want to change your current attitude towards life, you can call this number and I will help you."
Mother Zhou received the number and went home with Zhou Zihuai.
No one knew where Zhao Wu had gone, and only mother and son were left in the Zhao family.
Zhou Zihuai went to the room to do his homework.
Mother Zhou has been reviewing what happened today. The words of Xu Wei and Fu Zhi left quite a stir in her heart.
Before she could figure it out, it was nine o'clock in the evening.
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking sound outside the door.
"Zihuai's mother, Teacher Wang's child jumped off the building, and Teacher Wang fainted. Please come out and help!"
Teacher Wang was the teacher who gave Zhou Zihuai extra lessons.
He is strict and meticulous, and has helped the Zhou family a lot.
Mother Zhou didn't have time to inform Zhou Zihuai, so she put on some clothes and hurried out.
The sounds of ambulances and police cars could be heard on this street in the community.
About ten meters away from Zhou's mother was the bloody little daughter of Teacher Wang.
Mother Zhou took a few steps back due to the severe nausea and fear.
The chaotic chatter of the crowd was particularly harsh amid the honking of the horn.
"Is this the second time this month? Is there something evil happening in our neighborhood? There are kids trying to commit suicide every few days?"
"Oh my, Teacher Wang's daughter is such a good student. She is only eight years old, why did she jump off the building?"
"Don't you know? His daughter was fucked by the son brought by his second wife!"
"Which one?"
"What else can you do? Don't you know that there are so many quarrels in his family at night? Teacher Wang beat the son half to death, and then turned around and scolded the daughter for being dirty, which forced the daughter to jump off the building!"
"What can an eight-year-old child understand? I think Teacher Wang is mentally ill and a stubborn person. He thinks that the suspenders his daughter wears in summer and the sweaters she wears in winter are inappropriate! It's the sixth floor, and the life of this girl is hanging by a thread..."
"Oh my, what a sin! How come Teacher Wang and Zihuai's mother look like they came from the same womb!"
“…”
I don't know who said this, but it sounded like it came from the same mother's womb, and soon it was echoed by a group of people.
Mother Zhou, who was standing not far away, was stunned.
Before today, she would have thought that this group of people were talking nonsense, and she would never have forced the child to jump off the building because of blaming him.
But now, perhaps because she had experienced too much, she began to doubt herself again.
"Where are the family members? Family members, come here and get in the car together!" the doctor in the ambulance shouted.
"Here!" Mother Zhou hurriedly followed.
The ambulance door slammed shut with a loud bang.
Electric shock, oxygen, blood transfusion...
The doctors and nurses were sweating profusely.
With a beep, the electrocardiogram (ECG) of the instrument, which symbolized the life of an eight-year-old child, suddenly flattened out and became a dotted line.
"...time of death: 9:34 pm." The doctor took off his mask.
Mother Zhou looked at it blankly, dumbfounded.
There was still blood of the girl on his body.
She raised her hand and felt the coldness on her face. Before she knew it, she had already burst into tears.
Overwhelmed by a great sense of loss and relief, she subconsciously brought Zhou Zihuai into this girl.
Even though he had done nothing wrong, he still had to doubt himself because of the adults' face and reprimand, and then went to extremes.
Life is too fragile. Children's emotions are fierce and intense. The ideas that form in their minds are not jokes as adults think.
If it had not been discovered in time that night, perhaps Zihuai would have been no different from the little girl in front of him... He was holding her hand and calling her auntie sweetly in the previous second, and became a cold corpse in the next second.
She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she couldn't do this anymore.
I was thankful for the last time, but what about the next time?
Will her son, who also lives on a high floor, become so upset about her selfishness that he jumps off the building again?
Teacher Wang also woke up at this time. His world collapsed. He knelt on the ground and slapped himself in the face, "Yaya, Yaya, this is all Daddy's fault. Get up and look at Daddy!"
Mother Zhou hurried to stop him.
"Dad was wrong. Dad wanted to maintain this family so much that he said something he shouldn't have said for the sake of balance. Yaya... Dad is a bastard. How could Dad forget that the original intention of finding your stepmother was to have one more person to take care of you?"
Mother Zhou's pupils shrank.
The originally somewhat confused thoughts suddenly became clear.
Yes, that's why she married Zhao Wu.
The most fundamental reason is that she wants to give her son a complete family, with an extra man to take care of him, and she doesn't want her son to be called a wild child.
But since when did all this change?
After helping Teacher Wang, Mother Zhou walked back home in a daze.
The remaining money in the jewelry box was taken away by Zhao Wu at some point.
She opened the bathroom door and wanted to take the basin out to boil some water and pour it in.
The light was turned on, and she was the first to see the thermos being carried to the bathroom.
A kettle of hot water.
Mother Zhou had no way to describe this moment. She used so much effort to cover her mouth to prevent her sobs from coming out from between her fingers.
She took out her cell phone tremblingly and called Fu Zhi, "Ms. Fu, you said before that if I think it through, you will help me if I need help. Does this still count?"
——
On the other side, Fu Zhi, who had just hung up the phone, received another call from Fu's secretary Xi Man, "Ms. Fu, I think Zhang Yuanhui has a pretty good reputation. Recently, many people on the Internet have been criticizing your drama. Do you want me to pay for you to send some netizens to praise the drama?"
Fu Zhi's subconscious reaction was, why should he hire internet trolls to praise himself?
Although she doesn't understand the ways of the world, she understands corporate marketing.
This is almost no different from the marketing of a movie.
Only when expectations are low can there be surprises.
If your expectations are too high, you will probably just be frightened.
"You should buy some press releases for the black drama."
Xi Man: “????”
Xi Man was stunned for a moment, and his subconscious reaction was that Miss Fu was mad at this group of netizens, but after a moment he understood what Miss Fu meant.
Xi Man sent these requests to various marketing accounts on the Internet.
Marketing accounts: “????”
You guys are so cheap!
Are you still asking for trouble?
But since you gave the money, you are the father, and we, the sons, will definitely do this beautifully according to your instructions!
So, in the early morning of that day, an inexplicable evil wind blew up on Weibo.
Major marketing accounts are frantically boycotting the adapted drama "Red Sun".
After someone took the lead, insults on the Internet popped up like mushrooms after rain.
There is no need for the crew to buy hot searches anymore.
"Red Sun" can dominate three or four hot searches every day thanks to netizens' disgust.
At first, netizens were passionate and wanted to uphold justice, and they felt that no one else could resist the bad drama.
Then... as time went by, netizens got tired of the scolding, came to their senses, and decided to quit!
I haven't even watched the movie, and you're all shouting "it's bad" every day, and you're even asking me to join in. Are you using me as a tool?
Moreover, this is a movie that teachers in many schools require their students to watch, and it has passed the review. The original novel is so excellent, how bad can it be?
People began to think that these marketing accounts kept posting things that were provocative and slanderous to the crew.
They were organized and disciplined and sent out uniformly without even changing the text... It was as if they had hired a group of internet trolls.
Wait, navy? !
Oh my goodness, could it be that the Mu family and Zhang Yuanhui, that shameless group, deliberately hired internet trolls and published press releases to discredit the "Red Sun" crew?
