Chapter 197: Meeting Without Recognizing, Space Upgrades Again (6)_1
After weighing the pros and cons, the middle-aged man glared unwillingly at the child, "This time I’ll let you off, but if you dare to steal again, I’ll risk going to prison just to beat you to death first."
The child shrank his neck and hid behind Mo Yan, poking his little head out to say, "A man’s word is his bond, if I say I won’t steal from your house, I definitely won’t."
The middle-aged man glared at him hatefully and stomped away, fuming.
Mo Yan yanked the child out, "Why do you keep stealing steamed buns from his house? Don’t you know how easily you could get caught?"
Oh, that sounded wrong. If not stealing from the middle-aged man’s house, does that mean it’s okay to steal from someone else’s?
The child clenched his fists tightly, his little face flushed with anger, "That guy is no good, his former wife died and he brought in a young widow who beats and scolds the children left behind every day. Not only does he not care, but he joins in on the beating too. Scum like him should be taken to be decapitated."
Mo Yan was shocked. The child and his sister were thrown out of their house because of stepmother abuse, and his heart was full of hatred for his stepmother. But the one he should hate the most was his father, otherwise, he wouldn’t repeatedly steal from the middle-aged man’s house, taking out his hatred for his father on the middle-aged man.
With this thought, Mo Yan became even more determined to bring the child back onto the right path.
"Even so, you shouldn’t steal from his house. People like him will face their karma sooner or later without others having to lift a finger." A father’s lack of kindness leads to a son’s lack of filial respect—if not karma, then what is it?
