Chapter 4431: Changes before and after

“My eyes are dazzled…”

"Or maybe it's the first time that child has experienced the death of a family member..."

"It's normal to feel a little down."

"But how many days have passed?"

The old lady shook her head in disapproval
"LeLe still looks a little... gloomy."

"Lele was obviously not like this before."

"And I discovered..."

"Lele's parents' attitude towards Lele has become bad."

……

"bad?"

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

……

"kindness."

The old lady nodded.

"They don't allow Lele to go out casually."

"Lele is not allowed to talk to others."

"of course."

“It’s right to teach children not to talk to strangers casually.”

"But how many years has the old woman been their neighbor?"

"You're not a stranger, are you?"

"That day, I stopped the child and wanted to ask about his recent situation..."

"I can't bear to see the child look so lifeless."

"As a result, I just said a few words, and the child's mother came over in a hurry."

"And he asked the child fiercely if he said anything strange to me?"

"The child shook her head. She still didn't believe it."

"And told me not to believe what the child said."

"Does it look familiar?"

The old lady looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Correct."

"The child's mother just said the same thing to you."

"I'm weird."

“Some were also frightened by the child’s mother’s overreaction.”

"I asked her what strange things she thought the child would say to me?"

"She just said it was nothing and took the child away."

"She walked in a hurry."

"Obviously the force used in the hand was too strong and it hurt the child."

“But she didn’t notice.”

"He was still scolding the child along the way."

"I feel sorry for that child."

The old lady frowned.

"But the old man told me to stop interfering in other people's affairs."

"They haven't let their children go hungry or lack food. How they discipline their children is their own business."

"But I just find it strange..."

The old lady shook her head in confusion.

"You said that the child's parents have always been like this, so forget it."

“But they were clearly not like this before…”

"Why is it that after going home, you become like this when you come back?"

"It's like they suddenly realized the child wasn't theirs—"

"Bah ah."

The old lady immediately stuck out her tongue.

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

She explained to the young man in front of her, "I just said it casually."

"Don't take it seriously."

....
"Ah."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"I will not."

……

The old lady was relieved.

She shook her head.

"Maybe I really am overthinking it."

"I hope there is just a conflict between the parents and the children."

"after a while……"

Tsk.

It has been quite some time.

She still saw no change.

"They will reconcile."

Did the child make his parents angry?

What could be worth two adults being angry about having a child for so long?
Not that she said...

The two adults are a bit stingy.

Why bother with a child?
It’s still your own child.

....
Can't figure it out.

I really can’t figure it out.

The old lady reached out and touched her temple.

"…I haven't seen that kid smile in a long time."

"I asked that kid, too."

When the child came back from school, she called the child.

"I asked the child what was wrong?"

She got straight to the point.

She was afraid that the children wouldn't understand if she beat around the bush.

Moreover, time was pressing, and she was worried that if she delayed, the child's father or mother would come back and take the child away.

There was no answer to her question.

……

The old lady frowned, recalling the child's behavior at that time.

"The child shook his head..."

But she didn't believe it.

The child obviously looked troubled.

She asked the child not to lie to her.

She really wanted to help the child.

……pity.

The old lady's kindness went down the drain.

The child told her nothing.

The child forced a smile at her.

Said he was fine.

……

The child's mother is back.

Speaking of which...

After the child's parents came back from their hometown, they seemed to get home from get off work a lot earlier.

Don't leave your children alone for too long after school.

....
The old lady looked at the backs of the two people, one big and one small, leaving, and felt uncertain.

Is it...

It's really like what the old man said...

She thinks too much.

……

The old lady shook her head.

Whether she thought about it or not...

After all, she could only watch other people's family affairs.

Especially before anyone expected her to do anything.

There was nothing she could do.

……

The old lady told her not to worry too much about the child.

Don't let yourself think too much.

Slowly, she had to get used to the child's current appearance...

And forget what he was like before.

.....
However, after meeting a young man who had received similar treatment from her child's mother, the old lady's desire to talk increased.

……

She talked a lot.

Talk about your discoveries.

Talk about your doubts.

Talk about the changes in the child before and after.

Talk about the changes in the child’s parents before and after.

……

"...I hope I am just overthinking..."

The old lady smiled.

"oops."

The old lady shook her head.

"Excuse me, young man."

"I've been talking to you for so long."

……

Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"will not."

……

"Let's go."

The old lady waved at Xiao Xiao.

She looked up at the sky.

"The rain is getting heavier."

"Thanks to you for bringing Lele back."

"Thank you."

"You should go home quickly."

……

"it is good."

Xiao Xiao smiled and nodded.

"I am leaving."

Xiao Xiao said goodbye to the old lady.

……

"Goodbye."

The old lady watched the young man disappear around the corner with a smile.

She turned her head and looked in the direction of Lele's house.

Quickly, she shook her head and went into the house.

The door closed behind her.

……

Now that he had an umbrella, Xiao Xiao planned to walk back to school.

The rain is heavy.

It hits the umbrella and makes a crisp sound.

Water splashed everywhere on the asphalt road.

Compared to most pedestrians who were hurried, Xiao Xiao's pace was neither fast nor slow.

Showing a sense of leisure.

……

Although the rain was a bit heavy for a walk in the rain.

It lacks the hazy and soft charm.

The torrential sound seemed to urge people to run faster.

However, Xiao Xiao felt that such a walk in the rain had a special flavor.

The heavy rain separated everyone.

There is a world under the umbrella.

There were only the sounds of wind and rain in my ears; all other sounds seemed very far away, vague and intermittent, as if there was a layer of separation between them.

Especially suitable for people who enjoy being alone.

The air, which is rich in moisture and slightly cool, also makes people feel particularly comfortable.

……

Xiao Xiao bought a bag of grilled sausages and returned to the dormitory.

……

As soon as Xiao Xiao walked into the dormitory, Zhuge Yun exclaimed, "What a nice smell."

"Old Three, what did you buy?"

……

“It’s grilled sausage.”

Zhao Luzheng saw the bag in Xiao Xiao's hand.
