Su Lu-er hurriedly closed her eyes. Her heart was already prepared to endure the intense pain from Du Pian Hong's fist attack. However, after a long time, he realized that he was not injured at all. He did not feel any pain at all.
So he looked at Du Paihong in confusion, and then at her with some confusion." Why didn't you hit me? I'm clearly a bad child. Why didn't you hit me?”He had just spoken ill of his mother and deeply hurt her heart. Shouldn't a bad child like him be taught a lesson?
Du Pian Hong stopped, and his hands placed flat on the top of Su Lu-er's head to caress it. As she stroked Su Lu-er's smooth black hair, she smiled and said,""How can I bear to hurt such a cute child like you?”
Su Lu-er turned her head to the side and avoided Du Pian Hong's hand. Then, she replied with a displeased expression,""I'm not cute. I just made Mother sad! She could have ignored me, so why did she still make mooncakes for me? " Why…Why…" He asked Du Paihong again and again, but it was more like he was asking himself again and again.
However, no matter how he asked himself, he could not find an answer.
Sometimes, he would stop and think about why his relationship with his mother had become so bad.
He just wanted to follow in his father's footsteps and take over his father's mantle. Was that wrong?
He really didn't understand why his mother was always against him.
They even put him under house arrest at all costs!
"You said you ate the mooncakes made by Gabrielle?”Du Penhong asked in surprise, wondering if he was a step too late and had lost to his big brother.
Su Lu-er shook her head, then recalled the sweet taste of the mouthful just now and said,""No, I trampled them all!”He said this, but he didn't think so in his heart.
He felt that the mooncake was actually very sweet. For a moment, he felt that his heart was also sweet.
However…none of this was real!
He would never forget how his mother had tricked him into eating the food that was drugged, and then put him under house arrest in a dark room when he was unconscious. That night, he used all his strength to pry open the window of the dark room and escaped through the gap. Therefore, he was able to escape to the general's camp.
His mother had treated him so cruelly. Those so-called maternal love did not exist in this world at all!
"That's great. Thank goodness you didn't eat it." Du Pian Hong heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that he still had a chance of winning. But at the same time, she felt a little uneasy. After all, using Lu-er's mother and son relationship to win was indeed a little unfair.
She thought about it in a dilemma, and then carefully looked at Su Lu-er. Only to see some red bean dregs remaining at the corner of Su Lu-er's mouth. It was just a tiny grain, and one would not be able to see it if one did not look carefully. Because of this, even Su Lu-er herself did not notice it.
But it was also this bit of trash that was enough to prove that Su Lu-er had lied to her just now.
Perhaps Su Lu-er still cared a little about her mother in her heart?
"Let's go to your house." Du Pian Hong said. Then, he held Su Lu-er's small hand and walked towards Su Lu-er's house. She forcefully held Su Lu-er's hand, no matter how much Su Lu-er resisted. At this moment, she only felt that Su Lu-er was a child, a child who was acting in a fit of pique, a child who was unwilling to go home in a fit of pique.
But no matter what, he still had a mother at home, a mother who loved him.
Hence, Du Pian Hong brought Su Lu-er home, with Huaiyu and Little Nine following behind.
This time, the four of them chose to sneak back into the Su family. The reason was naturally because Su Lu-er did not wish to make a sound and alarm Madam Su. Otherwise, he would not have obediently returned home with Du Pian Hong.
At this moment, the four of them were leaning in front of the wooden window in the kitchen. Their four pairs of eyes were fixed on Mrs. Su, who was making mooncakes in the kitchen.
Su Furen stretched out her jade-like hands and clumsily fiddled with the pile of mud-like flour paste. She kept kneading the flour paste and sprinkled some dry flour on it from time to time until the flour paste in her hands became a smooth dough.
After that, she took a big bowl filled with red bean filling from the side, scooped a spoonful, and began to wrap the mooncake. His hands moved back and forth, not resting for a moment. Every mooncake was carefully designed and wrapped by her. Some were in the shape of a puppy, some were in the shape of a kitten…
In short, it was different from the mooncakes on the market.
Du Pian Hong looked at these strange mooncakes in puzzlement. He only felt that there were some stories that belonged to Su Lu-er. She turned her face and happened to see Su Lu-er's sparkling eyes. Those eyes seemed to be about to overflow with tears.
Although the relationship between mother and son seemed to be falling apart on the surface, in fact, there was still a trace of connection... It was like the child was connected by an umbilical cord in the mother's stomach before it was born. Although the two of them could not see each other, they could clearly feel each other's existence!
These small things and details were enough to move his cold heart and make his cold face melt quickly.
When Mrs. Su saw that the mooncakes had already taken shape, she immediately moved to the side of the stove and began to fill the fire. She picked up the firewood beside her and kept filling it into the stove pit. At this moment, the sound of burning came from the fire pit, and then some sparks began to rise. Mrs. Su was caught off guard, and her outstretched right hand happened to touch the sparks that shot out.
She made a squeak and opened her mouth, trying not to let herself make any sound. At this moment, Du Pian Hong, who was standing outside the window, realized that there was a red burn on Mrs. Su's right hand. She couldn't help but think that being scalded by a spark should be very painful.
Gabrielle's body was trembling non-stop, and cold sweat had already formed on her forehead. She walked shakily to the water tank, scooped a ladle of water with her left hand and poured it on her right hand. Then, after the pain subsided, he returned to the stove and continued to heat up the fire.
She kept repeating the same action back and forth, but she did not find it tiring or bitter at all!
"Mother used to be the daughter of a wealthy family. She had never done any rough work, nor had she ever cooked in the kitchen.”At this moment, Su Lu-er's bitter voice sounded in the air." But ever since Father passed away, Mother has changed a lot.”
"Are you very touched?" Du Pian Hong observed Su Lu-er. Looking at his tear-stained cheeks, looking at his red and swollen eyes, looking at his furrowed brows, she knew that she had lost.
She had lost this bet!
Su Lu-er quietly walked into the kitchen and stood behind Su Furen without saying a word. He just stood there, quietly watching his mother fill the firewood. At this moment, a spark appeared again, and its momentum was even faster than before.
Su Lu-er nervously ran in front of Su Furen and hurriedly stretched out her hand to protect her mother, using her own hand to block the fire that had burst out.
He let out an "ah" and then fell back unsteadily. His body happened to fall into Gabrielle's arms.
Lu-er?" Mrs. Su first called out in surprise, then her stunned face immediately turned into a pleasantly surprised look as she looked at her child. The mooncakes are almost ready!"
Lu-er patted her body and stood up. Then, she looked awkwardly at her mother. Her hands tightly gripped onto her sleeves, and she had a helpless look. He did not know what kind of words he should say at this time. He did not know what kind of expression he should use to face his mother.
He stood there helplessly with his head lowered.
Su Furen thought that Su Lu-er still did not appreciate it at all. She sadly lowered her head, her face full of pain. She turned around and took out the plate of freshly baked mooncakes."Eat it. It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days. I know you're leaving in a few days, so I definitely won't stay for the holiday. You should take these mooncakes with you. At least, you still have some memories…"
Su Lu-er silently took the mooncake and placed it in her mouth to chew. He tasted it carefully, as if he was tasting the most delicious thing in the world.
As he ate, tears fell uncontrollably.
He didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit it now.
Yes, his heart softened.
"Why did you treat me like that back then? Why did you lock me up in a dark room?”Su Lu-er asked as she ate. These questions had been haunting him, making him unable to find the answer.
When Mrs. Su heard this, she only smiled bitterly." I'm sorry for treating you like that before.”She turned her face and looked at the distant sky. She seemed to be filled with nostalgia and attachment. She slowly said,"That's because I can't lose you anymore.”
She didn't want to lose a child after losing her husband. This was also the reason why she had always been against Su Lu-er joining the army. She had even used knockout drugs to lock Su Lu-er up in the dark room.
It was all because she didn't want to lose the only family member in the world!
