Mu Jingzhe wanted to take Xiao Wu out, but Xiao Wu was unwilling. "No, I don't want to go out."
He doesn't want to go out. He just wanted to hide there. He doesn't want to see anyone. She's fine with just Mom with her.
"alright then. We're not going out. We'll stay here.” Seeing Xiao Wu crying so miserably, Mu Jingzhe quickly comforted him and knelt down, not moving anymore.
Xiao Wu cried and vented for a while before his emotions finally subsided a little. He took a deep breath and burped.
Mu Jingzhe quickly lowered Xiao Wu and took out a piece of tissue to wipe his eyes. “Your eyes are swollen from crying. If something goes wrong, tell me. Don'tbeafraid. Quit crying. Otherwise, you will hurt your eyes and throat.”
Xiao Wu nodded. Sensing Mu Jingzhe's warmth, he became even more annoyed. He stopped wailing, but tears started to flow from his eyes again.
Mu Jingzhe was worried. “Xiao Wu, are you hurt somewhere? Or something wrong?”
Seeing Mu Jingzhe anxious, Xiao Wu finally said, “My heart hurts, Mom. I just want you to be my mom. I don't want anyone else.”
Mu Jingzhe was confused. "alright then. I'm right here."
However, Xiao Wu was still crying. “Are you going to hate me in the future, Mom? Are you going to leave me? Grandma said that dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and rat sons know how to dig holes. I'm afraid you don't want me anymore, Mom.”
Mu Jingzhe was stunned. He had knelt down, felt anxious to begin with, and his face was red. “Xiao Wu, what are you talking about? Why would I hate you? I will never leave you. What did you hear? Why would you say such a thing?”
Mu Jingzhe suddenly stopped. “Xiao Wu, did you ask your father about your birth mother? What did he tell you?"
At this point, Xiao Wu suddenly shook his head. “No, I don't want my birth mother. I just want you, Mom.”
She did not want a mother like Shao Qiyun.
Shao Qihai's guess was right. Xiao Wu had heard. When Xiao Wu caught up with him, he happened to hear Shao Qihai's words. Not only did he hear that Shao Qiyun was his mother, but he also heard that Shao Qiyun had once wanted to drown him.
Surprisingly, Xiao Wu was not sad about this, as it seemed very normal for someone like Shao Qiyun to do such a thing. Xiao Wu was not surprised.
What annoyed him was the fact that he was the son of Shao Qiyun and he had given birth to her. This fact greatly shocked Xiao Wu. How did this happen?!
There are so many people in the world. Of all the people out there, Shao Qiyun was his mother.
According to the old saying, a boy should not underestimate his mother for being ugly, but she is not at all suited to being a mother. Shao Qiyun did not want it either. Since she didn't want it, why did she give birth to it?
In the past, like many other children, Xiao Wu was curious about his mother. However, now that she knew it, Xiao Wu would rather not have such a person as a mother. He would have preferred he had never been born.
Grandma said that a dragon gave birth to a dragon, a phoenix gave birth to a phoenix, and the son of a mouse knew how to dig a hole. This phrase is often proven to be true. In the past, he had been praised by Mu Jingzhe many times. When he saw everyone acknowledge his talent, he thought that he was an extraordinary person. When he grows up, he will definitely become successful and contribute to society.
She had been waiting, anticipating to be as outstanding as Mother, but now she knew that Shao Qiyun was her mother.
Shao Qiyun was a different person. Xiao Wu was furious and frightened. He was afraid that when he grew up, he would become a bad person, just like Shao Qiyun.
His four brothers, as well as his mother and father, were all good people, whereas he was the only bad apple. What's he supposed to do?
Xiao Wu cried. She always knew that she was different from her siblings because she did not have the same biological mother as them. Only now did he learn that he did not even share the same biological father as them.
They did not mention his biological father, but based on their attitude, if his biological father did not care about him, then he was not a good person either.
“Bu, can you not hate me? I will definitely be a good person in the future. I'm not gonna be bad. If I become a bad person, I will kill myself. I'm gonna kill myself, okay?”
At that moment, Xiao Wu decided that if he became a bad person in the future, he would end his life.
Mu Jingzhe was shocked. “How old are you to talk about suicide? How can you spout nonsense? Fast, spit three times[1].”
Xiao Wu obediently spat three times before Mu Jingzhe heaved a sigh of relief. “Xiao Wu, don't hold back. Can you tell me what happened? ”
Although Xiao Wu had spat as instructed, he had already made up his mind and as a result was completely calm. He then took a deep breath. “Bu, I know who my birth mother is.”
Mu Jingzhe thought to himself that this was indeed the case. After thinking about Xiao Wu's attitude, he was a little conflicted. “Did he really not like you? Or is there a problem?”
“He doesn't like me. I don't like it either.”
Mu Jingzhe was stunned. He did not think too much about it when he asked a question, but after this conversation, a problem arose. Could it be that Xiao Wu's mother was from their village or a nearby village? Otherwise, why would Xiao Wu answer as if he had met this person before?
He hesitated for a moment and said, “Xiao Wu, will it be easier for you to tell me who it is? Of course, if you don't want to tell me or feel uncomfortable, you can choose not to tell me.”
Xiao Wu was silent for a moment before mentioning the name that shocked Mu Jingzhe—Shao Qiyun.
"What's? Her... That's not possible. He and your father are siblings.” Isn't it incest for siblings to have children?
That can't be true. Mu Jingzhe shook his head violently. That might mean Shao Qihai was not his real father!
Never in Mu Jingzhe's wildest dreams did this answer occur to him. Only then did he understand what Xiao Wu meant by those words.
"Xiao Wu, you ..."
“Bu, I definitely won't be as evil as him, right?”
"Of course not!" Mu Jingzhe stated firmly.
“Then you won't hate me, right, Mom? His blood runs through my veins..”.
"Of course not. You will always be the funniest, Xiao Wu.”
Mu Jingzhe knew that Xiao Wu was in shock, so he simply lay down and hugged her. “Don't be afraid, Xiao Wu. Its alright. The offspring of a person is not important. Who said that children should be exactly like their parents? If birth determines everything, then the world will end.
“It is true that children are attached to their parents after they are born, but since they are born, they are independent entities. It is up to them what their future will be.
“Let's not talk about anything else. Just look at the people in our village. The parents and children are completely different, so don't be afraid, Xiao Wu. No matter who your parents are, we still love you and you remain our darling. I also believe that you will be useful to the community in the future.”
Mu Jingzhe had told the children many things in the past. Xiao Wu finally calmed down. "Thank you?"
“Of course, that's true. Even if you don't believe in yourself, you have to believe in Mom. I am the one who raised you now. One is formed by the company he holds. It will be useful for you to learn from me. Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson even before you can make a move.
"Xiao Wu, you trust Mom, right?"
