Chapter 147: Sleep when you are hungry, and you won’t be hungry when you sleep!
But she quickly stretched out her skinny hand, grabbed Jinhui's arm, and frowned, saying:
"Don't go! If you go, what should I do?
Or do you think I'm a burden and are planning to abandon me and run away?"
Jinhui hurriedly explained: "Mom, I didn't!
There are two wild vegetables on the stove. I will cook them for you and put them at the foot of your bed before I leave.
When you're hungry later, you can drink.
Don't worry, mother. Your son will definitely come back.
I will find a way to catch some pheasants and rabbits and bring them back to you to replenish your body."
The woman was unhappy when she heard this and she grasped Jinhui's arm tightly with her five fingers.
“No, you can’t go.
I couldn't even sit up like this, let alone get the wild vegetable soup at the foot of the bed.
I’m afraid I’ll be starving to death by the time you come back…”
At this point, she cried and coughed violently for a while.
Afterwards, with Jinhui's gentle patting, the pain was relieved.
After catching her breath, she came to her senses and was afraid that her intense reaction would cause dissatisfaction from the boy, so even her words became much softer.
"Xiaohui, Mom is worried about you too.
You had a head injury before, and every time you were about to recover, you would get injured again, and it hasn’t healed yet.
I heard there are blind bears in the North Mountain. How can your mother let you go there alone?
Didn’t you say that you have wild vegetables at home?
You cook it first, and when I have a good sleep and feel better, I will go with you!"
Jinhui subconsciously reached out and touched the back of his head, then pursed his lips and stared straight at the woman on the bed.
Seeing that she closed her eyes and didn't want to communicate, he wanted to leave, but for some reason, he stayed.
"Mom, although the temperature has risen a little now, it's still very cold.
We can't always live on wild vegetables.
Not to mention that there are not many wild vegetables in winter, just assume that you can dig them up every day.
Although you won't starve to death, your health will only get worse if you keep eating like this.
Mom, I still want to go into the mountains.
I want to see if I can have better luck and catch a pheasant or two or a rabbit.
If we cross two mountains here, we will reach the territory of Muyang Prefecture.
It's better there than here. I'll sell the pheasants and rabbits and buy some rice, flour, oil and salt.
Mom, your health is too poor. You need to eat good food and also eat salt.
The less salt you eat, the less strength you have! "
The woman knew that everything he said was for her own good, and she would be lying if she said she was not touched.
But she was aware of her own physical condition, and she also knew that the person in front of her was not her son at all.
She was afraid that this boy would never come back once he left.
Will she be left here alone to die?
Although she wanted to eat good food and see a doctor and take medicine, she simply couldn't afford to gamble!
As the saying goes, if a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth, so don't blame her for being cruel!
“No, I don’t agree!
If you dare to go, I will die in front of you. Then you will be an unfilial son and the one who killed your own mother.
If the world knew, they would spit on you!"
The woman wanted to use this to threaten Su Jinhui, but when he heard this, he felt a sharp pain in his head and a picture flashed through his mind.
In the picture, a woman whose face could not be seen clearly stood in a courtyard with only a crack open, and said angrily:
"I don't allow you to call him dad!
If you dare to shout, I will die in front of you.
At that time, you will be considered an unfilial son and the one who killed your own mother.
When your brothers and sisters find out, they will blame you.
And your father, he will die with regrets down there—"
Because of this sudden memory, Jinhui squatted on the ground with his hands on his head in pain.
He didn't cry out in pain, but the woman was startled.
"You, Xiaohui, what's wrong with you? Do you have a headache?"
Su Jinhui ignored her. The memories in his mind flashed through some images quickly, as if a switch had been pressed.
The speed was really fast, so fast that he couldn't catch it at all.
He only knew that the person in front of him was not his mother at all.
His mother was locked up in a yard.
Also, his family is not a one-man family. He has older brothers and sisters, and he is the youngest in the family.
The woman, Xu Ying, was also Su Ye's divorced wife on the grounds that she had no children in three years.
She was still lying on the bed, looking at the person lying on the ground, her expression changing again and again.
Finally, she sat up and got out of bed.
Su Jinhui lay on the ground, curled up in pain.
But his face was facing the bed, and he was looking at the scene in disbelief.
"Mother", no, it's Xu. Isn't she so sick that she can't even move and has to lie in bed?
Why can I sit up and get out of bed now?
Mrs. Xu didn't know that Su Jinhui already knew that he was not her son.
She stood up and walked to Jinhui's side, bending down and looking at him with a frown.
"Xiaohui, are you okay? Can you get up?"
For some reason, Su Jinhui shook his head slightly.
"Mom, I'm hungry—"
When Xu heard this, she just looked at him without saying anything.
Just when Su Jinhui thought that even if she didn't make wild vegetable soup for him, she would at least bring him a bowl of water, she went back to bed and lay down again.
A hint of disappointment flashed across the depths of Su Jinhui's lowered eyes.
Before he could say anything, Xu said with a cold expression:
"Xiaohui, Mom is weak and can't walk, so I can't cook for you.
If you are hungry, just close your eyes and take a nap.
You won’t be hungry when you fall asleep!
It just so happens that we don’t have to go to the north mountain, to avoid being carried away by a blind bear.”
Having said that, she probably knew that saying this would be very cold-blooded and would cause Su Jinhong to alienate her.
Therefore, she added:
"Xiaohui, you are my only child, and I will never allow you to joke with your life like this!"
Upon hearing this, Su Jinhui closed his eyes completely.
He needs to sort out his thoughts and think about what to do next.
After all, he was only nine years old, and Xu was not really so sick that she could not get up from bed.
Since she would rather lie in bed and watch him running around for food and drink for the two of them than help.
Seeing him lying on the ground, unable to get up due to the pain, no one cared.
Seeing that he fed her and let her drink more every day, she could only lick the wild vegetable soup at the bottom of the bowl and refused to tell the truth.
Then, does he not need to care about her life or death?
After all, she is not his mother, so why should it be his turn to be filial to her?
After figuring this out, Su Jinhui instantly felt extremely relaxed.
It was like a huge stone that had been pressing on my heart was finally removed.
Since he doesn't have to worry about the Xu family anymore, can he leave here and go to Muyang Mansion according to his own ideas?
He always felt that he should go over there because someone was waiting for him there.
*
As the sun sets, the coldness on the ground grows heavier.
At some point, while thinking, Su Jinhui, who had fallen asleep, woke up.
This time his head didn't hurt as much.
I vaguely remembered some things.
His mother was locked up in a courtyard in Muyang Mansion and was under house arrest by a man.
But he couldn't remember who that man was, what his name was, or what he looked like!
