Chapter 341: The Thoughts in His Heart
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“When did they say bad things about Mother?”
When Ye Muyu asked this, Chu Jin lowered his head and tugged at the corner of his shirt, unwilling to say anything more.
“What happened?” Ye Muyu patted his head and asked directly, “Is it because you fell into the river last time?”
“Mother, how did you know?” Chu Jin raised his head abruptly. There was some shock in his clear eyes. After thinking about it, his expression turned ugly. “Did you hear those people badmouthing you?”
“You don’t like them because they said bad things about Mother? Can you tell Mother what you think in detail?” Ye Muyu had a rough idea of what was going on, but the knot in his heart would only dissipate if the child said it himself.
If there was something, he would hide it in his heart. The more he thought about it, the worse it would be.
Chu Jin looked at Ye Muyu cautiously. He was worried that his mother would beat him up if she found out that he had made a mistake in school.
“Mother, it’s just that they actually lied through their teeth and said that you were not good. You jumped into the river to save me. Those people said that many people saw you fall into the river and that your reputation was tarnished.”
“Some people even said that the Tang family has already paid for the medical fees. Our family is too powerful and ruined Tang Bao’s life, preventing him from studying in the village school. The Tang family’s conditions are not good, and Tang Bao can no longer take the imperial examination in the future.”
“These people are too much. I don’t like them.” Chu Jin did not like it, and he even hated the person who said those words.
Because what he heard were all the words of some children.
Therefore, he hated these children.
As for where the child had heard it from and why they would say such words that only adults would say, with Chu Jin’s current age, he could only vaguely understand. Thus, he directly directed his disgust at the other children.
He was not a bad person, and his most direct reaction was to instinctively dislike any child.
Moreover, the other children were still young. Since Chu Jin did not like them, he did not want to get close to them.
As a result, Chu Jin was the one who suffered the most injuries.
After all, to other children, it was just losing a playmate. They would not even have a deep impression of it.
Only Lil’ Jin was dumb.
Although he was angry, he never thought of hurting others.
The more Ye Muyu asked, the more her heart ached for this child.
She also felt a little guilty. After all, it was because of her illness that this child felt guilty and relied on her.
“Lil’ Jin, I’m telling you very seriously today. Saving you is something I will never regret. Even if I have to do it again, I will do it because I love you.”
“As for what those children said, why do you take it to heart? You dislike them because you don’t like this matter, and you’re afraid that you’ll cause trouble, causing the two of them to be hurt again?” Ye Muyu thought of this crucial point and asked.
Chu Jin’s eyes were red and filled with grievance. When he heard this, his body trembled slightly. In the next moment, he threw himself into Ye Muyu’s suspicion and cried, “Mother, I don’t want anything to happen to you, and I don’t want to lose my mother. Although I don’t like what they said, we can’t fight. Otherwise, if I get hurt, what if Mother gets implicated by me again?”
Ye Muyu’s heart skipped a beat. She finally understood why the child chose to ignore the children who had spoken badly of her. It was to prevent himself from getting angry and fighting.
However, for a child, without friends, his childhood would not be complete. It was easier for him to develop mental illness. Coupled with this, he would be even more guarded in the future. If it was serious, he might even isolate himself in the future..
