Chapter 530 Bastard
Chapter 530 Bastard
Mu Chun stopped only after she had emptied her stomach and had nothing left to vomit. But the child came to her side when Mu Chun started to vomit, stretched out his dirty little hands, patted her back, and showed a puzzled, frightened and concerned look on his face! She didn't understand why Mu Chun got sick just because she came to her home.
Muchun felt the affection from the child's little hand, and thought of the horrific scene in the hut, and couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat! She couldn't help but hold the child in her arms, tears streaming down her face! Poor child! Looking at the rotting corpse, the child must have lived with the corpse for at least a few days! How did the child and her mother survive? What about her other relatives? It seemed that she was not the one the child was asking for help, so why didn't anyone help? Muchun's heart was filled with confusion and sympathy for the child!
Although the child was hugged tightly by Muchun, he seemed to be extremely sensitive! He also stretched out his arms and hugged Muchun, constantly comforting her:
"Don't cry, sister! Mom said that being sick is nothing to be afraid of, and you will be fine after a good night's sleep! Just come home with me and have a good sleep, and you will be fine when you wake up!"
The child's cleverness and understanding made Mu Chun feel even more heartbroken! The so-called home in the child's mouth didn't even have four walls, it was really poor! It seemed that not only the mother had no money to treat her illness, but even the child could only bear it!
Mu Chun took a deep breath and gently let go of the child. He put his hands on her shoulders and said in a relaxed manner:
"It's okay! After the pat you gave me just now, I feel much better!"
"Really? My mother said so too! Every time she was sick and I patted her back, she said so! She also said that I would become a good doctor when I grow up! Oh, by the way, sister. What is a doctor? Is it someone who pats the backs of sick people? Do you think I will become a good doctor? But..."
The child was very excited when he heard this! His dark and lively eyes looked even more lively! But halfway through, he seemed to suddenly remember something and his expression dimmed!
"But now I want to be a good doctor! Take a good picture of my mother! Sister, how is my mother? Can you save her?"
Muchun was stunned! She didn't know how to answer for a moment! How could she bear to tell such a child about her mother's death? How could she bear to let the child see her mother's current miserable condition? How could such a young child bear it? How much harm would this cause to her! She could only lie:
"Hmm... this... the hut is empty. I don't see anyone. Could it be that your mother has recovered from her illness and went out to look for you?"
"Sister, is it true? Is mother really well? She has been sleeping for several days, and she won't respond no matter how I call her! That's great! That's great! Goodbye, sister, I'm going to find my mother! Thank you! Thank you!"
The child was so excited that he was a little incoherent! He turned around and ran to his own hut!
When Muchun saw her, he was shocked! He quickly grabbed her and said anxiously:
"Can't go back!"
The child looked at Muchun blankly, not understanding why he couldn't go home!
"I... I mean, your mother must have gone to town to look for you. Then, I will take you to town to find her!"
Muchun hurriedly explained.
The child was obviously relieved! He shook his head at Muchun and said:
"Mother won't let me go to town. I don't dare to go!"
"why?"
Muchun was a little surprised!
"They...they would scold me and beat me! They...they wouldn't let me cry!"
There was a look of fear in the child's eyes!
“They scolded you and beat you?”
The child nodded quickly and said:
"They say I'm unlucky and anyone who sees me will be unlucky! Sister, you saw me and talked to me, you won't be unlucky, right?"
"That's not true! They are talking nonsense!"
Looking at the child's tearful eyes, Muchun immediately patted her head to comfort her.
"Really, sister? But...but they all say so. Even mother says so. She won't let me go to town."
"Well...your mother said that just because she doesn't want you to be bullied by others, right? Oh! By the way! What's your name?"
Mu Chun naturally didn't believe in the saying of bad luck. In her opinion, the reason why others bullied her was probably because they were poor! It is human nature to bully the weak and fear the strong. No matter what kind of person they are, they always like to show their superiority in front of the weak! And only by bullying the weak can they feel their own strength!
Muchun didn't want to talk about the dark side of human nature with the child. Even if he did, she wouldn't understand. In order to avoid her questions, he had to change the subject.
"Name? My mother calls me Zijuan, so Zijuan should be my name!"
The child said thoughtfully.
"You have a really nice name! Purple azalea! So beautiful!"
"Really? Is azalea a flower? I really want to see it!"
Zijuan showed a longing look on her face!
"Have you never seen azalea? It's a very beautiful wild flower! I'll take you to see it when I have the chance!"
"That's great! Thanks, sis! But I need to ask mom first."
Zijuan seemed very excited.
From Zijuan's feminine name, Muchun finally determined that this should be a girl. From her words and deeds, Muchun had suspected it for a long time, but he was not sure! On the one hand, it was because her face was filthy. On the other hand, it was because her clothes did not have the color of a girl at all!
Seeing her excitement, Muchun couldn't help but feel sad! Thinking about how she was held in the hands of her parents when she was a child, while Zijuan couldn't even fill her stomach without a decent piece of clothing? He couldn't help but have the idea of taking care of her!
Originally, she just felt sorry for her and wanted to help her find her family. But now she was thinking about how to take her away from her family! Since her relatives could ignore the life and death of her and her daughter, how could they treat this poor girl well in the future? So she asked softly:
"Zijuan, tell me where your father is? I'll take you to find him, okay? Maybe your mother has gone to your father's place to look for you!"
What made Muchun feel strange was that in the process of contacting Zijuan, she never mentioned her father! Could it be that her father was no longer alive? Or did he abandon them? Otherwise, why did the mother and daughter live in such a difficult situation? So he asked tentatively.
"father?"
Zijuan looked at Muchun blankly, as if she didn't know what "Dad" was!
Seeing Zijuan's expression, Muchun knew that his guess was almost right! He immediately said gently:
"So do you have any other relatives?"
"Relatives?"
Zijuan is still confused!
Mu Chun couldn't help but be surprised! Could it be that Zijuan and her daughter jumped out from the cracks of the stone? How could they not even have a relative? He couldn't help but ask:
"Hasn't anyone else ever come to your house?"
"Yes! When my mother was not sick, some uncles would often come to visit her. After they left, she would make delicious food for me! Are they all my relatives?"
Muchun suddenly understood what was going on! So that's why! No wonder others disliked her! She turned out to be the daughter of a prostitute! A bastard in the eyes of others! Thinking of how a child as young as her was often looked down upon by others, with no relatives except her mother! No children were willing to pay attention to her, and she had to face loneliness at such a young age, she couldn't help but feel a sore nose and red eyes!
"What's wrong, sister? Are you sick again? Come, let me pat you again!"
Zijuan said anxiously when she saw it.
"It's okay! I'm fine! I was just blinded by the sand!"
Mu Chun hurriedly rubbed her eyes to hide the tears that were about to flow!
"Sister, don't rub it! Don't rub it! Hurry up and squat down, let me blow it for you! Mom said that if the sand is in your eyes, you can't rub it! If you rub it, it will go in!"
Zijuan hurriedly shouted on tiptoe.
Muchun was stunned! She immediately bent down and let Zijuan puff up her cheeks and blow hard into her eyes!
I guess her mother just told her not to rub but to blow, but she didn't seem to know which eye to blow. She just blew hard at both eyes of Muchun, taking turns!
