Chapter 478 - Reasons [2]
Ji Feng frowned. It wasn't because his Grandpa Meng and Grandma Meng were old, nor was it because their health was poor. It was because he could sense helplessness in his mother's words.
Hearing his mother's words, Ji Feng didn't say anything and only nodded his head.
”Little Feng, what is your opinion?” Xiao Sumei could not help but ask. She knew that her son would definitely not treat those people in Mang s.h.i.+ County with a good att.i.tude, so she had to seek her son's opinion.
Ji Feng threw up his hands nonchalantly. ”Mom, you can make the decision on this matter. I will listen to you!”
When Xiao Sumei heard this, she immediately understood that her son was unwilling, and could even be said to be extremely determined to loathe the idea of going back. However, because she had suggested it, he could only nod and agree; it wasn't good to refuse.
”Little Feng, Mom knows you don't want to go back, but your grandparents are old …” Xiao Sumei discovered that she really had no reason to dissuade her son.
Grandmother and Grandpa? What does that have to do with Ji Feng?
Xiao Sumei still remembered clearly that when she left her hometown and moved to Mang s.h.i.+ County, her life had been miserable. Seeing her son so hungry that his face had turned yellow, she couldn't bear it any longer and brought her son back to her hometown.
As a result, when he returned, he was scolded by the old man as soon as he saw him. His son did not eat at home for the whole day, but went to the fields by himself to dig up wild vegetables and cook them with a small paint bucket he had picked up from who knows where!
At that time, Ji Feng was only eight years old.
His son was gone. Not a single person in his family went to look for him. Even if Xiao Sumei begged him, no one moved.
Helpless, Xiao Sumei looked everywhere for her son. When she saw her son, whose face was covered in smoke, her heart almost broke. She carried her son for the entire night and directly walked back to the county town.
These things, Xiao Sumei in a move, inadvertently found in her son's diary, her mood at that time can be imagined.
Under these circ.u.mstances, how could Ji Feng be willing to return?
How could he still have any so-called grandparents in his heart? There was no need to talk about uncles and aunties. Other than insulting Ji Feng, they didn't give him any other impression.
Ji Feng not taking revenge on them could already be considered magnanimous!
When she thought of this, Xiao Sumei couldn't help but sigh as her heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife. She also hated those family members who only had reputation in their eyes and only had face, and no family affection at all.
But they were her parents, her brothers and sisters.
Xiao Sumei didn't want to talk about her hometown. She only wanted to see her son's eyes filled with hatred. Even though Ji Feng's eyes were calm and his expression was calm without a single ripple, Xiao Sumei knew that there were indelible scars in her son's heart.
A harsh environment would create a person's heart of stone, but very few people knew that once the iron cracked, it would be very difficult to heal.
However, Xiao Sumei hoped that her son would be able to dispel the hatred in her heart. At the very least, she didn't hate the people from her hometown that much. After all, they were her family.
No matter how excessively parents do, as children, they owe their parents a debt they would never be able to repay in their entire lives. They can't just look at their parents with such hatred.
Xiao Sumei considered her words, then sighed and said, ”Little Feng, Mom knows that you're not feeling well and doesn't want to go back, but this time Mom wants to go back. Just treat it as accompanying Mom back, okay?”
Ji Feng smiled, ”Mom, I already told you, I will listen to you.”
Xiao Sumei slightly nodded her head as her heart grew even more worried. The more Ji Feng acted this way, the more it showed that he was extremely furious. However, Xiao Sumei had no way to change her son's mind.
”Then it's a deal!”
Xiao Sumei laughed: ”Little Feng, we have to say this first, once we return to our old home, you cannot lose your temper. If there is anything you need to do, just endure it.
Ji Feng nodded and said with a smile, ”Don't worry, mom. I have always been very obedient. This time is no exception …”
”I'm just acting as a driver for once. I'll be happy to be a driver for Mom!” Ji Feng added.
Xiao Sumei's heart sank when she heard this. She was only the driver … His son was drawing the line. If it was outside the driver's range, he wouldn't do it.
It was just a bit vague.
”Alright!” ”Then be a driver!” Xiao Sumei smiled.
Ji Feng frowned, his heart filled with bewilderment.
He understood his mother's personality very well. She had a sharp tongue and a rotten heart. Although she looked strong and unyielding, her heart was actually very soft, and she couldn't bear to see others suffer. But even so, his mother hadn't gone back for all these years. It was enough to see how sad his mother was.
But the problem was, what was the reason for his mother coming all the way from Beijing to Jiang Prefecture to bring him back?
