You hidden in my heart - Chapter 16.3

Chapter 16.3

Although the gate was closed, Lu Yuling’s mother, Lu Rongyue, didn’t leave. She just stood motionless, stretching her neck and looking into the yard, with a little anxiety and a little expectation in her eyes.

Lu Yuling only wanted to get back home quickly. He tugged at his mother’s clothes and said, “Mom, let’s go back home. I want to go home.

Lu Rongyue said, “Just be patient and wait a little longer.”

After waiting for a bit, the gate was opened once more. This time, it was Grandpa who opened it. Mom’s eyes shone brightly, and she leaned in close to the iron gate. She shouted with eagerness and excitement, saying “Dad.”

The little boy, who had been causing problems, stopped causing problems after seeing his grandpa. He was a bit scared of his grandpa because his grandpa was always very fierce.

The old man opened the door and saw his daughter. He heard her say “Dad”, but he didn’t feel happy. He looked very cold, even colder than the ice and snow. After he opened the gate, he lifted his arm and threw away the things Lu Rongyue sent through Aunt Wnag. Then he looked angrily at the mother and son standing outside the metal gate; it was as if they were not his family but enemies. “Get out of here! What a disgrace! Get away with your ba*tard!”

Lu Rongyue stopped moving suddenly and stood completely still, as if she had turned into ice. Then, the area around her eyes became red, and tears started flowing from her eyes.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, she was standing at her parents’ house, crying very much.

When Lu Yuling noticed that his mother was crying, he got very angry. He quickly crouched down and lifted a big chunk of snow from the ground. He made a big snowball and threw it at his grandfather, shouting, “You’re a mean old man. You bully my mother! You are a big bad guy! I will smash you to death!”

The child was not very strong, and the snowball didn’t go very far. It landed on the ground, not very close to the iron gate.

It fell down and made a loud sound as it broke apart.

The small boy kept trying and made another snowball. He threw it at the gate and said angrily, “You hurt my mom. I’m going to destroy you. You’re a bad person.”

Once, it was completely destroyed.

Grandpa stood at the door of the house, looking at the mother and son outside the door with red eyes. He was taking a deep breath, as if suppressing his emotions and gathering strength. Finally, he roared again: “Get out! I have never given birth to such a shame as you. Don’t let me see you and your ba*tard again!” After saying this, the old man turned around and walked quickly back to the house. Bang! The door closed with a bang.

Snowflakes were flying, and everything was silent. Lu Yuling could only hear her mother’s sobbing voice.

He stopped yelling at his grandfather for being mean and instead clung to his mother’s clothes, saying with fear and begging, “Mom, please stop crying.”

His mom was the most important person to him in the whole world. So when his mother was crying, the little boy was very scared.

The mom knew her son was scared. She took a big breath and tried really hard not to break down. Then she grabbed her son’s hand, smiled with tears in her eyes, and said while scrunching her nose. “Alright, stop crying; it’s time to go home.”

Finally, the little boy was happy and relieved to be able to go back home. He let out a long sigh.

While heading home, Lu Yuling asked his mom a curious question: “Mom, what does ‘ba*tard’ mean? Was Grandpa talking about me??”Lu Yuling didn’t understand the meaning of the word that his grandfather had shouted earlier.

The mom looked very worried, shook her head quickly, and said firmly, “He was not talking about you; you are not.”

The little boy asked again, “Then who was grandpa talking about?”

The mother tried hard to hide the truth. “You misunderstood; grandpa didn’t say a bad word; he was talking about the sweater and didn’t like it, so he got rid of it.”

‘But I heard he said a bad word.’ Lu Yuling was unsure, but because his mother told him, he had to trust her.

After they came back home, his mom made him a yummy meal that included chicken wings in Coke sauce, pork cooked slowly in sauce, and vegetables with tofu that he really liked. He finally got to have Coke with his meal.

While they were eating, he took a while to think and then told his mother. “Mom, can we not go see Grandma and Grandpa anymore? I don’t enjoy being around them. They are very mean, and they always bully you.”

“Mom did something that made them really mad,” Lu Rongyue said sadly.

The young boy had food in his mouth, and he was holding small chopsticks in his hands. He asked, “What is that?”

“No. You don’t understand. I’ll tell you later.”

The little boy sighed, as if he were very disappointed: “Okay.” Then he said again, “When will Uncle Li come to see me?” He missed Uncle Li very much, and there was a hint of hidden expectations in his voice.

Mom smiled. “In a few days, Uncle Li will also celebrate the New Year with his family.”

Have a nice day!
