DAVM Chapter 52.2

The next moment, Si Tian received a new account entry message since she bound her mobile phone number with the bank card.

Si Tian suddenly felt dizzy when she saw it. She was almost overwhelmed by Ji Jiangzhou’s overbearing temperament. Who can refuse someone who will give you money without saying a word?

[Thank you, thank you, I won’t save money! Please rest assured, Boss] She subconsciously added the next few words, so Si Tian deleted it and added: [Everything is fine at home, don’t worry]

Ji Jiangzhou: [Well, tell me if you need something]

Si Tian: [Mmm, okay]

Her tone subconsciously softened a lot. She felt that it was something that could not be solved without money, so she did not need to tell Ji Jiangzhou other trivial things to bother him and distract him from work. Just let him take a good business trip.

Si Tian changed her posture to watch TV, picked up the pillow on the side, and stuffed it behind her waist habitually, but something fell off.

She looked over and found that there was ten yuan wrapped in paper under the pillow.

There was also a word written on the paper: [To Ningyi’s mother, the fried skewers are very delicious]

Si Tian immediately understood who left the money. How could Pei Jing be so sensible and have a sense of proportion?

She can accept the money from Ji Jiangzhou without mercy and is also happy to accept Ji Zhile’s New Year’s money, but when holding Pei Jing’s ten yuan, she feels very heavy.

Sighing lightly, children who are too sensible will not have a happy childhood.

She took out a pen and wrote below the words on the paper: [Children already have helped wash the dishes, so the skewered vegetables do not need to pay]

Then, she put the money away with paper and opened the door to return it to Pei Jing.

The lights of Pei Jing’s house also turned on, and someone was at home.

Si Tian came closer, but accidentally, she found a small figure squatting under the outer door of Pei Jing’s house.

There was no security lamp at the outer door, only the street lamps were shining. Si Tian could not believe it, so she quickened her pace.

It wasn’t until she was standing by the door that the child raised his head when he heard footsteps, that Si Tian realized that it was really Pei Jing.

Pei Jing was still wearing his school uniform and carrying a schoolbag as if he could not enter the house. But Si Tian knew that when he returned home, the lights at home were not on.

This seems to have explained a lot. Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and finally, she said softly to Pei Jing: “Doesn’t Pei Jing have a key to the house? Let’s go to our house to sleep for a night. Zhile and Ningyi miss you very much.”

She wanted to keep a little self-esteem for Pei Jing and did not want to expose it, but Pei Jing shook his head: “No, thank you, Auntie, my mother is at home. She should be able to open the door.”

Si Tian took a deep breath and cursed in her heart. What kind of mother shuts the seven-year-old child out at night? Even though the security in the villa area is very good, the lower temperature at night alone can easily make the child sick.

“But you don’t know when your mother will open the door. Go to our house first. It’s cold outside, and you’ll catch a cold.” Si Tian said.

Pei Jing whispered: “Mom is drunk, maybe she will open the door when she wakes up.”

He came home too late and faced his drunk mother. Even though he had answered honestly and said that he had dinner at the Ning family next door, he was still grabbed by his mother and she carried him out by the arm.

Even if he is smart and can quickly break up the small league in his class, he can’t do anything in the face of an adult. He is powerless with the adult who completely surpasses him in strength and height and does not listen to his excuses.

He begged and shouted, but his mother pushed him out of the house anyway.

“If you don’t want to come back, don’t come back. I’ll give you food and clothes, isn’t that enough?”

The door slammed shut in front of him, Pei Jing knocked on the door and shouted: “Mom, I want to come back, Mom…”

It’s just that he did not get any response, so he did not bother. He took off his school bag, put it on his chest to keep warm, and squatted in front of the door.

Pei Jing knew that his mother was drunk, and it would be fine when she woke up.

He has no other place to go. There are only two relatives in this world, his mother and his grandmother. His grandmother no longer wants him, so he can only follow his mother.

Pei Jing knew that in this world, a seven-year-old child would not be able to survive. It would be fine when he grew up.

He buried his head, waiting for himself to grow up slowly. But why is it so difficult to grow up? Time flies so slowly.

Translator’s Comment:

Huhu… Why is there a mother like Pei Jing’s mother? Even though you can provide food and clothes for your child, I think it’s not enough. You should also provide them with love and a sense of security.
