Little One Tears the Villain’s Script

The Best Time (3)

“But this way, I won’t see Teacher Tang anymore. I, I don’t want to go…” Her little mouth flattened, and she wanted to cry.

She didn’t think anything of it before, but not that she did, she felt that she would be sad if she couldn’t meet all the people she was familiar with.

A child’s mood changes quickly. She was looking forward to it every day, but now she didn’t want to go anymore.

“This is a good thing, Xiaoman.” Teacher Tang said, “Many children here don’t have the chance to go to school, but Xiaoman has the chance to better places. Your grandma and your uncle like you, isn’t this a perfect thing? If you don’t go, wouldn’t you let them down?”

“But I… I can’t bear to leave Teacher Tang.”

“If you can’t bear it, just think about me in your heart.”

“Huh? This is also possible?”

“Why wouldn’t it?”

Jiang Xiaoman thought about it seriously, and it seemed… that there was nothing wrong with it. Think more, feel more.

“Then I will think about you every day!” Jiang Xiaoman said, clenching her fist.

Teacher Tang said nothing and just laughed.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Xing saw that it was already a bit late. He picked up Jiang Xiaoman and bid farewell to Teacher Tang.

Jiang Xiaoman was very sad and cried as she walked. She didn’t expect farewell to be such a tragic thing, and she felt very reluctant to leave.

She cried so much, her eyes became hazy, and she was out of breath.

Jiang Xing said, “Don’t cry anymore, aren’t you tired? Don’t be unable to walk after a while.”

Jiang Xiaoman confidently replied with solid reasoning. “If I can’t walk, isn’t there still you to carry me?”

Oh, what an amazing little girl.

Jiang Xing choked with anger, he put her on his back and ran.

The basket on his back was just big enough to fit the not-so-big Jiang Xiaoman. He told her to stay still and then ran back home.

If they didn’t go back soon, it would become dark, and Jiang Xiumei at home would be wondering why they haven’t come home yet.

Jiang Xiaoman was so tired from crying. She fell asleep in the basket on his back while still sobbing a little.

Jiang Xing hurried all the way and finally made it back home before the sky was completely dark.

If they could drive, they wouldn’t have to be so tired.

There was no shortage of cars now, but the roads were very bad.

It would be nice if the roads could be repaired, Jiang Xing sighed.

Seeing the smoke rising from the kitchen from a distance, Jiang Xing quickened his pace. As soon as he entered the house, he heard Jiang Xiumei’s cheerful laughter. She was chatting with the old grandma next door across the wall.

“Is what you said really true? If it is, I can die happy.” Jiang Xiumei shouted.

There were the sounds of pans and bowls, scoops and basins as the person next door replied. “It’s true! I just came back from my maternal family, right? The news was already spread in the village that the Hong Xingguo father and son pair were arrested. It was said that they gathered people to gamble. They have to stay locked up for ten days to a month and also got a fine. Tsk tsk, they must be suffering.”

“As they should!” Jiang Xiumei let out a sigh of disgust and finally felt comfortable.

During New Years’, everyone was idle and had nothing to do. Some people play mahjong, play cards, or play other stuff on a small scale. It was okay, and no one cared about it.

But gathering crowds to gamble… The amount must be big. Anyone who got hooked on gambling, sooner or later they would lose everything. Even a mountain of silver and gold would disappear.

There was no money in Hong Xingguo’s house, so Jiang Xiumei knew precisely where the gambling funds came from.

She was initially distraught and felt that they shouldn’t have given them money. But now they dug their own grave and got themselves into prison, and she felt thrilled.

After Jiang Xing put Jiang Xiaoman down, he shouted to the kitchen. “Mom, Xiaoman, and I are back; when are we eating?”

“Ah soon, wait a minute.”
