Chapter 322: Mom, Go! Run Quickly
The noise of the argument outside grew louder and louder, and it seemed like a fight was about to break out, so the villagers who enjoyed a spectacle hurried out to mediate. No matter what, Lu Family Village now was different; they couldn’t let any attention-seeking incidents leak out and become the laughingstock of other villages.
Dezi’s little arm was tightly gripped by Lai Zi, and no matter how much he struggled, he couldn’t break free, his face flushing with panic.
He now knew he was wrong, truly understood his mistake. Knowing that his mother was getting remarried, his heart also ached immensely. Today, being dragged over here to take a beating made his body hurt, but the pain in his heart was even worse. Yet, he harbored a glimmer of hope, thinking that if his mother saw how pitiful he was, wouldn’t she reconsider the marriage?
His days since his parents’ divorce had been more miserable with each passing day. He had resented his mother, blamed her. It was her fault that he became the butt of the joke, laughed at wherever he went. But when he saw other children cuddled up in their mother’s arms, he realized how crucial it was to have a mother at home. Some village children and others who were annoyed by him would say his mother didn’t want him anymore.
But his mother was still in the village. Although she had been cold to him for most of the year, he could still see her, and now she had started to talk to him again. He thought as long as his mother was in the village, he wouldn’t be a child without a mother, and one day, he too could live with his mother, along with his sisters.
But now he didn’t think so anymore. If his mother stayed in the village, she definitely wouldn’t have a good life in the future. As long as she was good to him, his grandparents and father would not let her be. In the future, they might even use him to extort money from her.
Now there was also the matter of his grandmother’s family. If his mother stayed here, she wouldn’t have a single good day.
"Bang!" The courtyard gate was thrown open, and the quarreling crowd all turned their heads to look.
