I'm really rich

Chapter 87 That Rainy Night
Shen Mian quickly accepted this explosive news, but at the same time she couldn't help feeling annoyed, why did she bring up such a topic.

As if guessing her thoughts, Jiang Chen slightly hooked his lips, and said calmly: "There's nothing I can't mention."

Shen Mian felt better now, she turned the volume down extremely low, and asked tentatively, "Have you...haven't contacted for a long time?"

"Ah."

"why?"

"When I was six years old, she left me and left because she couldn't stand her husband's domestic violence."

Jiang Chen actually had very few memories of his mother.

The only impression I had was that, apart from the scenes where she was pushed to the ground by Xu Zhanguo from time to time, and even knocked against the wall by her hair, there was only that rainy night, the rainy night when she left.

At that time, her name was not Su Li, but Jiang Sidi.

That afternoon, the weather was gloomy, and Xu Zhanguo came back from outside drunk as usual.

Because Jiang Sidi was unwilling to give him money to buy wine, he slapped her again.

Then, in order not to be harmed by Jiang Chen, he habitually locked Jiang Chen in the bedroom.

Jiang Chen didn't know exactly what happened outside the door that day, but he could probably guess it from the screams and beatings.

When he was released from the bedroom, Jiang Sidi was already preparing dinner for Xu Zhanguo as usual.

There were injuries on her face, and tears were still in her eyes, but Jiang Chen faintly felt that her crying that day seemed a little different from the past.

The eyes are different.

It's like a bird about to break out of its cage, crying, not because of fear, but as a memorial to the past.

Sure enough, that night, not long after Xu Zhanguo finished his meal, he lay down on the table and did not move.

Jiang Chen sat on the small stool by the corner of the table, quietly watching his mother eagerly pack her luggage, and then ran out with the small package.

With a calmness completely out of his age, he didn't follow, but just stared at Jiang Sidi's back without blinking.

Until she turned around and ran towards him again.

Jiang Sidi took his hand and led him for two steps, but finally, hesitating again, stopped and let go of his hand.

When Jiang Chen grew up, thinking back, at that time, she might have thought of taking him along, but later, she finally gave up on him in order to protect herself.

Maybe it's because he can't afford to support him, or maybe it's because he thinks that if he keeps him, Xu Zhanguo won't be so persistent in looking for her.

She even called a car early in the morning.

After rushing out in the rain, she sat in the back seat of the taxi without looking at him again.

It was raining heavily, Jiang Chen stood at the door, his small body stood upright, just quietly watching the car disappear from his field of vision.

He still didn't cry, although he knew he was abandoned by his mother.

Walking home and seeing Xu Zhanguo still lying on the table, Jiang Chen thought he was dead.

Because at that time, Jiang Chen didn't know that there was something called sleeping pills in the world.

He remembered that this man, who would go crazy and beat people from time to time, once strangled his neck and said drunkenly: "As long as I don't die, you will always be my son."

I also remember that when the old neighbor passed away, someone said that when a person dies, he will no longer speak or move, and will completely disappear in this world.

So, looking at the motionless man lying on the table, Jiang Chen thought, is he not this man's son now?Will this man disappear completely?

But not as he wished, Xu Zhanguo woke up again the next morning.

He discovered his wife's trick and angrily smashed all the dishes on the table.

At that moment, Jiang Chen stood aside and couldn't help thinking regretfully:

It's a pity that my mother is still soft-hearted after all.
