Chapter 8 Mom, Don't Do This, I'm Scared

"You can't go, you can't go..." Li Mei pulled a middle-aged man with a handbag under his arm.

She shook the money in her hand tremblingly: "How is this enough? This is the money for a surgery. What will we do in the future?"

Seeing more and more onlookers rushing to get rid of her, the man gained some strength, and accidentally brought Li Mei to the ground, and the people around him began to discuss.

Li Mei hugged the man's feet tightly: "You took my family Huaqiang there, and now something happened, you can't just walk away..."

"I'm also kind. Seeing that he hasn't received a job for a long time, who made him not pay attention to safety? It can't be blamed on me. I will pay for what should be paid. I can't let me take care of you for the rest of my life. I also have a family. A man with a mouth."

While struggling to break Li Mei's hand, the man continued: "Sister-in-law, brother Huaqiang is a temporary worker, and he can't pay much. As for the operation money, I also paid my own money. It’s all gone too.”

"He has worked in your company for so many years, how can he be a temporary worker, you can't leave... He is the only labor force in our family, and now he is disabled..." Li Mei pointed to the door, frightened and helpless, with tears in her eyes. Mo Xiaobei who was helping and Mo Xiaonan who was in the cart.

Crying: "How will we orphans and widows live in the future..."

"If you haven't signed a contract, aren't you just a temporary worker?" Taking advantage of Li Mei's inattention, the man managed to break away Li Mei's other hand, and ran away...

Li Mei didn't have time to react, just got up and wanted to chase after him, but the man had disappeared into the crowd of onlookers.

Li Mei was hysterical in an instant, crying to the ground, she seemed to go crazy, and suddenly grabbed Mo Xiaobei, and Mo Xiaobei was staggered and dragged by Li Mei...

Li Mei's helpless and resentful insults sounded in my ears: "You crow's mouth, you bastard...it's all you...it's all you..."

Li Mei pushed and beat and scolded her: "If you hadn't kept your mouth shut, your dad wouldn't have really fallen...it's all your fault...you caused your dad to become disabled...it was you who made our family fall... It hurt like this..."

The little person, like a marionette, was pulled and slapped by Li Mei.

She cried out in fright: "Mom...don't do this...I'm afraid...Mom..."

The desperate Li Mei seemed unable to hear her daughter's begging for mercy. She pushed hard, and Mo Xiaobei fell heavily to the ground...

She crawled over slowly, hugged her mother, cried and begged: "Mom...I'm sorry...don't be angry...I will never do this again...I was wrong...don't be angry...don't be angry..."

The immature voice made the noses of the onlookers sour...

Li Mei pulled away Mo Xiaobei's hand and pushed her to the ground again. She wiped away her tears with her sleeves, got up and walked towards the ward.

Mo Xiaobei got up again and followed behind his mother.

Li Mei turned around and shouted: "Don't follow me, just stand there and don't move!"

The mother at this moment: disheveled, disheveled, and ferocious, she stared at her viciously...

Mo Xiaobei's body trembled. The gentle, smiling, and decent mother in his memory suddenly disappeared.

The mother picked up the younger brother in the cart, closed the door of the ward, and left her alone in the corridor. The onlookers whispered and gradually dispersed...

She looked at the people around her timidly, terrified...

Her mother's hysterical roar kept ringing in her ears: "It's all your fault...you caused your father to become disabled...it was you who made our family like this..."

This year, Mo Xiaobei was six years old.

Mother Yang Mei didn't know that she was venting her emotions.How much trauma has been caused to the immature Mo Xiaobei's young mind.

Mother's words, like a curse, will always remind her—she is a sinner.

He is the sinner who caused his father to become disabled and his mother to lose her dignity!
It was her who plunged the originally happy and happy family into the mud and into the abyss...there is no redemption...

Mo Xiaobei woke up suddenly, sweating profusely, just as she was digesting this haunting nightmare...

Wang Gang, the squad leader standing at the door, shouted: "Mo Xiaobei, the class teacher calls you to receive the poverty allowance..."

Mo Xiaobei put down the school uniform jacket in her arms in a panic, looked at Wen Sheng and her classmates.

Her face was hot, she stood up slowly, lowered her head and walked outside the classroom...

An Ruo looked at her terrified expression, kindly wished she could cover the eyes of all her classmates.

He picked up Mo Xiaobei's school uniform that fell on the ground, patted the dust, folded it and put it on her desk.

"What is a poverty subsidy?" asked classmate Xia Ming.

Wang Yu, his deskmate, replied: "The school gives some money to poor students."

"Why haven't I heard of this before?" Xia Ming asked suspiciously.

"That's because Mo Xiaobei didn't come. There were no poor people in our class before. Mo Xiaobei was the first." Wang Yu said.

Xia Ming asked, "How do you know?"

"My uncle is a math teacher in the second class. He works in the same office as the head teacher. I heard that Mo Xiaobei's father is disabled and has no job. Her mother runs a canteen and probably doesn't make much money. She also has a younger brother. So it's really pitiful." Wang Yu said.

"It's really pitiful..." Xia Ming sympathized.

Every word fell into Mo Xiaobei's ears, and she felt hot all over, as if being pointed out and humiliated by someone ripping off her clothes.

Yang Jie, who was distributing the test papers, patted the 50-point and 40-point math papers in front of the two of them.

"I think it's you who are the poor ones. Mo Xiaobei is also in the top ten of his class, and you two are the bottom of the class. You have the nerve to talk about others."

Xia Ming made a grimace: "My parents don't care about me, I want you to do it."

"You two, don't talk about Mo Xiaobei like that." Yang Jie continued seeing that Mo Xiaobei had walked out of the classroom.

"What I said is the truth, and I didn't make it up." Wang Yu disagreed.

"If you talk about Mo Xiaobei like this again, I'll tell your parents and teacher about the two of you defrauding your parents of money." An Ruo, who was in the back seat, threatened the two of them after taking the paper handed over by Yang Jie.

Xia Ming asked suspiciously, "When did the two of you become so familiar with this transfer student?"

Yang Jie and An Ruo said in unison: "You want to take care of it?"

Teacher Huang, the teacher in charge, said, "Xiao Bei, take the poverty allowance for this semester, and don't lose it."

Mo Xiaobei took the money: "Thank you teacher."

"Xiaobei, aren't you going to participate in the summer camp activities this semester?" the head teacher said, "Talk to your mother, it's free for you."

"No." Mo Xiaobei lowered his head: "My mother said that studying is the main thing, and you should read books during the holidays."

Mo Xiaobei let go of her panic, all her spare time was fully arranged by her mother.

She has to watch the store, take care of her younger brother, cook and wash clothes for the family.

If it wasn't for the restaurants not being afraid to use child labor, he would be arranged by his mother to wash the dishes.

"This is the last time in elementary school. I will be in elementary school next year, so I don't have a chance." The head teacher said regretfully.

Xiaobei forced a smile and said, "It's okay... Teacher, it's nothing else, I'm going back to the classroom."

The teacher in charge nodded and sighed: "A filial son comes from a poor family..."

Mo Xiaobei's hand holding the bursary tightened even tighter...
