Reborn as an Ugly Wife in the Countryside

Chapter 896 - 898: Together No Matter What

"Thank you, thank you..." Upon hearing Xiaoxiao agree, Shitou’s mother said thank you several times in a row.

She was truly grateful, knowing they would be good to her son, and her son wouldn’t have to suffer with her anymore.

"Sister-in-law, please sit down." Xiaoxiao helped Shitou’s mother up and seated her by the side of the bed.

Just as she was about to mention leaving some things for Shitou’s mother, the door was pushed open.

Little Shitou ran in, dashed to the side of the bed, and threw himself into Shitou’s mother’s arms, crying out, "Mom, Shitou isn’t going anywhere. Shitou doesn’t want to be separated from you."

At that moment, Shitou’s mother was even more moved to tears, thinking, it’s just as well; it saves having to tell him later. We’re leaving at midnight, and he would have found out eventually.

She stroked Little Shitou’s head and said, "Son, listen to Mom. Go with your uncle and aunt; they will treat you well."

Little Shitou shook his head, his face tear-stained, "I don’t want to, I don’t want to. No one can replace Mom."

Hearing her son’s voice, Shitou’s mother’s heart ached as if it were dripping blood, but she continued to persuade him with great care, "Son, go with your uncle and aunt to another place. No one will call you a jinx there, and no one will bully you anymore. You’ll live a better life."

But Shitou’s mother’s persuasion was lost on Little Shitou, "I don’t want to, I don’t want to. I only want Mom."

Little Shitou was determined not to leave, making Shitou’s mother’s heart ache even more as she shouted, "Are you leaving or not?"

"I’m not leaving, I’m not leaving, wah wah."

For her son to smoothly go with the couple and live a better life in the future, Shitou’s mother had no choice but to say harshly, "Are you not listening to Mom?"

"I’m not listening, I’m not listening." Little Shitou shook his head vigorously, crying his heart out.

"You..." Shitou’s mother said, heartbroken, raising her hand as if to slap her son.

But Little Shitou lifted his head, his eyes resolute, and said, "Mom, go ahead, as long as you don’t make Shitou leave."

At this moment, Shitou’s mother completely broke down. How could she bear to hit him even slightly? Her son was so understanding, so filial.

Her high-raised hand didn’t come down heavily as expected but instead searched for her son’s face in the air.

Little Shitou pulled his mother’s hand over and placed it on his face, "Mom, I’m here, right here."

Shitou’s mother cried her heart out, feeling with trembling hands her son’s tear-streaked face.

Her mouth kept uttering with pain, "Son, why are you so silly, why are you so silly? Don’t you really like singing? Didn’t you say Auntie’s Grand Theater was great? Follow them and live well. Why suffer here..."

"Mom, I do like it, but I really don’t want to be separated from you. If we go, we go together; if we stay, we stay together."

Though Little Shitou was still young, he wasn’t foolish. He knew if he left this time, he might never see his mother again.

Besides, without him, his mom couldn’t live in the village by herself. He’s about to grow up and will be able to protect his mom, so he couldn’t leave.

"My silly son, my silly son..."

Shitou’s heartbroken mother kept repeating this phrase.

"Mom..."

The mutual consideration between mother and son was touching to anyone who saw it, prompting Xiaoxiao, who wanted to persuade them once more, "Sister-in-law, why don’t you come with us? Then everyone would be happy."
