Chapter 243:  An Accident (3)

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When the little boy saw the line of words on Meng Chuyuan’s phone, he opened his mouth a little hoarsely and told Meng Chuyuan the location.

Seeing the almost shattered hearing aid in Meng Chuyuan’s hand, the boy’s eyes were filled with despair. “My hearing aid…”

Meng Chuyuan continued typing: [The hearing aid is broken. But don’t cry. I accidentally stepped on it. I’ll compensate you.]

The boy didn’t say anything else. He lowered his eyes and looked very sad.

He took the shattered hearing aid from Meng Chuyuan’s hand and refused to communicate with anyone else. He turned around and left.

Meng Chuyuan felt very bad for accidentally breaking his hearing aid. Moreover, she could empathize with him.

Although she had never met her father, who was born deaf and mute, she could imagine how desperate and painful it would be for someone who couldn’t hear and couldn’t speak.

This town was not as developed as the city, but there were many cars. Moreover, there were no traffic lights at many intersections. Meng Chuyuan temporarily abandoned the matters at the milk tea shop and silently followed the boy.

The journey took about ten minutes before the boy returned home.

The little boy’s mother’s voice was a little loud. After seeing her son return, Meng Chuyuan could hear his mother’s voice from afar.

Before Meng Chuyuan could enter their house, she heard a sharp voice coming from inside. “Why did you break your hearing aid again?”

“Are you pretending to be mute again?”

Seeing that the situation inside was not right, Meng Chuyuan quickened her pace and appeared at their door. The cameraman was not very close, and the camera was only focused on Meng Chuyuan’s back.

After all, this was a passerby’s family matter and was not within the scope of their variety show.

Meng Chuyuan could not help but walk over to persuade the mother. “Sister, don’t speak to the child so loudly.”

“What are you afraid of? He can’t hear you anyway.”

“But there are so many neighbors around you. It could easily disturb others.”

“They’re used to it. You don’t look like a local, do you? What are you doing in our house?”

Meng Chuyuan saw that the mother’s voice was a little restrained. She said, “I came back with your son. Listen to me first. It’s like this. We saw your son being bullied by his classmates on the street. They were curious about this hearing aid, so they wanted to borrow it from your son…”

Before Meng Chuyuan could finish, the mother lost her temper. She suddenly shifted her gaze and looked at her son. “You always look so weak. It would be strange if others didn’t bully you. You’re so shy like a girl. How did I give birth to a good-for-nothing like you? How many times has this hearing aid been broken?”

This hearing aid was originally one of a pair. Two days ago, he accidentally fell and a loud noise started to come from the earpiece. Then, there was only one left.

Unexpectedly, this one was broken so badly that it couldn’t even be repaired.

“Sister, calm down.” Meng Chuyuan’s expression did not look too good. Moreover, she happened to be on her period today. This matter made things worse.

Meng Chuyuan said, “It’s not his fault that he’s weak. No matter how bad he is, he’s still your son. Don’t make it sound so bad.”

[That’s right, wuwuwu. How can you scold your son like this? Is she even worthy of being a parent?]

[Although he can’t hear it now, he must be devastated to see his mother’s reaction.]

[I think this mother scolded her son a lot. This weak and afraid personality might have been a result of being frightened by his mother.]

[Sister Meng is really gentle. She’s always thinking for the child and speaking up for the child, but this child’s biological mother only knows how to be unreasonable when something happens. What’s the use of scolding her son?]

The little boy’s mother was trembling with anger. She placed one hand on her waist and the other on her chest to calm herself down. “All you big and small ones make me worry.”

“Were you listening to me just now? It’s probably not the first time he’s been bullied by his classmates. I hope you can pay attention to this and take care of the child.”

“Don’t I care enough about him? His father is still lying in the hospital. I worked myself to death to earn a little money. I spent thousands just to change his hearing aid. This brat, I told him to be careful. He didn’t listen to me at all.”

Meng Chuyuan did not know what was going on in their family, but judging from the eldest sister’s tone, her lover was sick and hospitalized. She was also in financial difficulties.

She explained to the woman calmly, “He really didn’t break the hearing aid this time. He was blocked by two classmates on the road, then I accidentally stepped on it when I passed by…”
