Chapter 170 Mom said he's still good 5
"Ah Su went back! Your dad and I are doing fine, how could we possibly get a divorce? We just had a few arguments!"
Su's mother stood at the door with a slightly stiff smile on her face. She impatiently waved her hand away at the aunties who were crowding around her like hungry wolves eyeing meat, trying to shoo them away.
With a bang, the door slammed shut, and the smile on Su's mother's face vanished instantly. She turned around abruptly, her eyes fixed on Su Su with eyes as sharp as knives.
"You're really looking forward to your parents getting divorced, aren't you?"
Su's mother's voice became sharp with anger. She took a few steps to Su Su and couldn't help but grab Su Su's hand, glaring at her fiercely.
"Waaaaah, Mom, you said you'd send me to school after you divorced Dad! I...I...I'm in so much pain! Mom and Dad, waaaaah!"
Su Su's face was scrunched up with pain and grievance, tears welling up in her eyes. She sobbed and choked out her words.
"You're only thinking about getting your parents divorced so you can go to school. How can you be so selfish!"
Su's mother was furious. She pinched Su Su's arm hard with her fingers, and her body trembled slightly with anger.
Mr. Su sat there and looked at them: "Why are you taking your anger out on the child! Our divorce is a matter between adults, what does it have to do with the child?"
"Divorce? I don't agree to it. I will never get a divorce." Su's mother paused, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, but she quickly regained her stubbornness. "Besides, you're still injured, and you need me to take care of you! As long as I don't agree to a divorce, we can't get one!"
The moment Su's mother said those words, Su Su felt as if her heart was being soaked in acidic water, and her whole being seemed to be plunged into endless darkness.
Fantasy can only ever be fantasy. How can something that has never been realized ever be realized? It's just that reasons have been found to give people hope.
Su Su recovered quickly.
Su's mother had already gone to work, leaving Su's father sitting blankly on the sofa in the living room, his eyes empty and lifeless, as if his soul had been taken away.
Seeing her father's expression, Su Su frowned in annoyance and then snapped her fingers at him.
Su's father's eyes instantly regained their sparkle.
He clutched his head, groggily muttering, "What's wrong with me! I was even thinking about divorce, how could that be? I need to be taken care of! Thank goodness I didn't get divorced."
"Log in now! I haven't finished the game yet!"
As he spoke, his hands began to fumble around on the sofa. "Wait, where's my phone!"
Su's father's eyes searched around the room, finally landing on Su Su standing to the side. He said impatiently, "Help me back to my room to find my phone! You have no sense at all."
Su Su ignored his words, turned around and silently ran towards the door, crying and shouting as she ran, "I hate Mom and Dad, I want to go to school, waaaah..."
The neighbor aunties, who were already very concerned about the Su family's situation, all peeked out from their doors when they heard Su Su crying and noticed what was happening.
As they watched Su Su run off into the distance, they huddled together again, chattering excitedly, their faces full of curiosity and gossip.
One of the aunties tried to call out to Su Su, but Su Su was running too fast and couldn't stop at all.
In the evening, Su's mother dragged her tired body home from get off work. As soon as she entered the door, she didn't see Su Su in the living room as usual, so she asked Su's father in confusion, "Where is Su Su?"
Su's father remained glued to his phone screen, not even blinking, and without looking up, simply replied, "I don't know, maybe they went off somewhere to have some fun!"
After saying that, he became engrossed in the game again.
However, a day passed and the house became a mess, with no one cleaning up the trash. Looking at the mess, Su's mother began to realize that something was wrong.
A sense of unease welled up inside her. All the past arguments and conflicts were forgotten, leaving only worry for her daughter.
She began searching everywhere for Su Su, but received no news about her. Su's mother was filled with regret and self-blame.
Su's mother was extremely anxious. After searching everywhere without success, she ran to the police station in tears to report the case and begged the police to help find Su Su.
Police quickly launched an investigation, reviewing nearby surveillance footage and questioning local residents, leaving no stone unturned.
I've even heard that although Su Su is already ten years old, she has never been to school and doesn't have any friends. It's hard to know where a child like her would end up.
Especially since her parents were going through a divorce, and her mother kept saying that she would be better off if they got divorced, but then they didn't get divorced.
For a child who is almost able to understand things, this is a huge blow.
A few days later, the devastating news arrived: a small body had been found in the black, foul-smelling river. After forensic examination and DNA comparison, it was confirmed that the body was indeed related to Su's parents.
At the police station, when Su's mother saw her daughter's cold body, she collapsed to the ground, crying her heart out. Her cries echoed throughout the entire police station, moving everyone present.
She pounded her chest, repeatedly muttering, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault," as regret and grief overwhelmed her like a tidal wave.
However, Su's father appeared much more indifferent; he simply stood there quietly without shedding a single tear.
For him, Su Su's departure did not seem to cause much of a stir. In fact, because of Su Su's previous outburst, he hadn't been playing the game properly and his rank had dropped significantly, which made him somewhat annoyed.
He even thought it would be better if she died, so she couldn't take a joke.
Although his health is much better than before, he still feels some lingering pain in his hands and feet, and he is only thinking about how to make himself more comfortable.
A few days later, due to the busyness and pressure of life, Su's mother gradually forgot about Su Su in her painful numbness.
The home seemed to have returned to its usual tranquility, but the relationship with the neighbors had become much more distant.
They all guessed that the child was so heartbroken that he lost his way while running and accidentally fell into the river.
Su's mother did not defend herself, but Su's father always felt uneasy because he no longer had Su Su, his "little slave," to serve him, and he found it inconvenient to do anything.
In addition, he needs to recover from his injuries, and he can't be left without someone to take care of him.
So he discussed with Su's mother about bringing Su Guang, who was being fostered by relatives, back home.
Although he's still a child who can't speak yet, he'll be able to take care of things in a few years, and he'll be able to earn money when he's even older.
But that's not what he said to Su's mother.
