IACF [QT] Chapter 32.2

She looked back at the child. The child also looked at her. His face was wrinkled, but there was a little hope and pleading in his eyes.

No child wants to be abandoned, even if the other party does not truly love him.

After understanding the whole story, Su Yi was not going to abandon him.

If she really did that, she was afraid that her own mother would jump out from the underworld and let her taste the sweet but painful motherly love again.

But when it comes to raising a child, she has no experience.

She had been walking with her head down, but when she stopped, she realized that it was very hot. The sun was directly above her head.

The child’s exposed arms and legs were sunburned red. He kept licking his lips, so he must be very thirsty.

Su Yi suddenly felt that the task on her shoulders was very heavy, heavier than being the leader of a group of demons. At least, those demons didn’t need her to worry about eating, drinking, defecating, and urinating.

There was a convenience store a few steps away. Su Yi searched all her pockets but couldn’t find a dime.

She opened the mobile app without much hope. Sure enough, the balance was zero.

She checked the bank cards bound to her account one by one and finally found a few hundred yuan in a card, which was probably forgotten by the original owner.

She walked into the convenience store, took two bottles of water from the shelf, picked two boxes of yogurt and a bag of toast, paid the bill, walked to the window of the convenience store, and sat down.

Through the glass window, she saw the child standing at the door, like a puppy guarding the door.

Su Yi waved at the other party.

The child did not approach her immediately. Instead, he looked at her cautiously, then looked at the water in her hand, and repeated this several times before he took a step hesitantly.

This showed how distant the relationship between mother and son was.

Su Yi unscrewed the lid of a bottle of water and handed it to him. Seeing him take it slowly, she picked up the other bottle and drank half of it in one breath.

The child sat on a chair, his two short legs hanging in the air, unable to reach the ground. He held a toy in one hand and tightly grasped the water bottle with the other hand, swallowing in small sips.

He looked quite gentle, not at all as impetuous as other children.

After drinking the water, Su Yi placed an opened box of yogurt and two slices of bread in front of him, then opened her own box, scooped out the yogurt with a spoon, and spread it on the bread slices.

The child picked up the bread and took two bites. It was a bit dry and hard to swallow. He looked at Su Yi’s actions and also spread yogurt on the bread clumsily.

While doing this, he kept secretly looking at Su Yi, as if he felt that he had imitated her and was a bit embarrassed. He was worried that she would laugh at him.

Su Yi pretended not to see it, but she said to Mao Tuan in her heart: “He was so fierce when he chased me all the way before, why is he shy now?”

Mao Tuan shrugged: [I don’t know much about human cubs.]

Su Yi just asked casually.

After seeing the child finish eating, she put away the remaining bread and threw the garbage into the trash can.

Then, she stood up and touched his little head, “Let’s go, son.”

When she said it, it felt quite novel.

She was not in a hurry to sell the things in the suitcase now because she had no idea what was inside. Besides, she still had a few hundred yuan on hand, which could last for a few days.

After returning to the apartment under Mao Tuan’s guidance, it must be said that a skinny camel is bigger than a horse¹The phrase ‘瘦死的骆驼比马大’ (shòu sǐ de luòtuo bǐ mǎ dà) literally translates to ‘a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.’

It expresses the gap between the rich person and the poor person. Even if the rich one suffers property damage, the rest of his possessions are much greater than the poor ones..

Although the Su family went bankrupt, the remaining apartment was something that many office workers could not afford in their lifetime.

It was said that before the Su family passed away, they left millions of cash as a way out for their daughter and grandson.

If it were an ordinary mother and son, they would have no worries about food and clothing in this life. But they met the original Su Yi, who spent all the money in just a few days.

So, she decided to sell things.

She was afraid that after all the things were sold by the original Su Yi, the next step would be to sell the house.

It was already evening. The two of them had been walking outside for almost the entire afternoon.

When they returned home, the child was sitting on the sofa, nodding his head. He was so sleepy that he could hardly open his eyes, but he was still staring at Su Yi, as if he was still preparing for her to abandon him.

It was estimated that if Su Yi approached the door, he could immediately jump off the sofa and catch up.
