Zhang Zian understood Cai meiwen’s feelings and sympathized with her experience, but he didn’t agree with her approach, and he couldn’t see her using the wrong way to guide little celery.
Although little celery was her daughter, it didn’t mean that she had absolute control over her daughter. This was also the concept of many parents, who treated their children as their own personal belongings and didn’t allow others to interfere.
Having said that, a battle had to be fought using methods and strategies, not brute force.
Cai meiwen was a good mother in essence. It was just that she had some mistakes in her teaching methods, and she was trapped in them, unable to look at her past from a detached point of view.
In terms of probability, what she did was wrong, but it did not mean that she would not get a good result. As long as she arranged things around little celery well, maybe little celery would really do as she wished, avoid the shadow of death, and grow up healthily.
However, just like this Typhoon No. 7, which had clearly turned to Japan but suddenly turned back, no one could be sure what would happen in the future.
No one wanted a sad accident to happen, but it would be stupid to take this chance. It was better to tell the child that life was full of accidents and that even if something bad happened, he had to face it bravely.
Zhang Zian wasn’t cursing Cai meiwen. He had no enmity with her, so why would he curse her? But he knew that she had been working very hard. She had been working very hard and taking care of her child. Nowadays, the average age of young people suffering from cancer was decreasing year by year, and there were many people who died from overwork. If something happened to her one day, little celery, who was not mentally prepared, would be hit hard.
The heavens were kind, and Cai meiwen was trapped here with a Typhoon and flood. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, she would have immediately left with little celery after she flew into a rage out of humiliation. She wouldn’t have told them about her childhood, and she wouldn’t have come back. She wouldn’t have let little celery step into the store again. No one had the right to stop her, and any obstruction was against the law.
Therefore, he had time to think of a solution.
It was not that children had never come into contact with death. Death was everywhere in life. From ants, caterpillars, to frogs, birds, any child had seen the death of animals. However, the death of ordinary animals could not affect the child’s mind. Only the death of pets and relatives would cause such a thing.
Little celery was confused by what her mother had just said. She had a good relationship with her grandparents, but because they didn’t live in the same city, she could only get in touch with them through online videos.
During the holidays, her classmates and friends often went back to their hometown, but her mother had never taken her there. She didn’t understand why, but her grandparents would come to Binhai city every one or two months with big and small bags of local produce to visit little celery. They would stay for about a week before taking the train back.
Her grandparents were very kind and liked little celery very much. They always said that seeing little celery was like seeing her mother when she was a child, but she was much cuter than her mother. Every time they came to Binhai city, they would take little celery shopping and buy her a lot of snacks, toys, and clothes. When they got home, their mother would always frown and say that they spent too much money and spoiled little celery.
The only shortcoming of his grandparents was that they were a little old-fashioned, especially his Grandpa, who didn’t even know how to use WeChat. He was even worse than little celery. However, many old people were like this, so it wasn’t a big problem.
At first, little celery thought that her mother didn’t have a good relationship with her grandparents, but it didn’t seem to be the case. Every time her grandparents came over, her mother was very happy and treated them very warmly. Before they left, she would buy them things and secretly give them money. It was probably only … When they asked her when they would find another man and so on, her mother would turn hostile and ask them when they were leaving.
So, it wasn’t that her mother hated her grandparents, but … She simply didn’t want to go back to her hometown, right?
Little celery actually wanted to go to her hometown and see the city where her mother was born and grew up. She wanted to see the neighborhood her mother used to play in, the school she went to, the house she lived in, the bed she used to sleep in, and the toys she used to play with … She also wanted to sleep on that bed.
But her mother didn’t want to go back, and little celery couldn’t do anything about it.
This was the first time she had heard that her mother had raised a puppy when she was young. Her mother had never mentioned it before.
Unfortunately, the puppy was dead. Little celery didn’t understand the whole process. It seemed that there were bad people who always made her mother worried, and the puppy might have been killed by a bad person.
Dead …
Little celery turned her head and looked at the cashier. The stray cat that had just died was still lying on the table, as if it had fallen asleep.
Did that little dog die like this?
She looked down at the lop-eared rabbit that was obediently lying at her feet, not daring to move, and the hamster in the display cabinet. Would they die like this?
She couldn’t imagine what the hamster and lop-eared rabbit would look like when they died, but the thought of them never being able to jump, never being able to breathe, and never being able to happily eat nuts and vegetables made her so sad that she wanted to cry.
Cai meiwen had just told them a long story, and her mouth was dry, but the staff didn’t seem to have any intention of bringing her more water, so she was embarrassed to ask for more.
She was in a complicated mood and regretted her abruptness. In a moment of desperation, she dug out the past that had been buried in her heart for many years and told it to a stranger.
Ever since high school, she had never told anyone about her past except her ex-husband, including her college classmates and current colleagues. She felt that Zhang Zian and the staff were secretly laughing at her in their hearts. They thought that she was too paranoid. She was so scared because a girl of the same age in the neighborhood next door was killed, and she even blamed the death of the stray hair on the murderer.
But on the other hand, after telling her about this past, she felt inexplicably relieved. What surprised her even more was that the appearance and cries of mottled hair were still clearly imprinted in her mind, as if she had just said goodbye to it yesterday.
Once again, she clearly felt the weight of this mottled fur in her heart.
She looked at the curtain Door from time to time. She couldn’t wait for the typhoon to pass so that she could leave with little celery.
The staff also had mixed feelings in their hearts. They didn’t know what kind of attitude they should have towards Cai meiwen now. They sympathized with her, but was it right for her to refuse little celery to raise a pet because of her unbearable past?
“Little celery,” Zhang Zian said,”I have nothing to do. Let me tell you a story.”
He then looked around at the staff and elves.”You can all listen to it. Maybe after this story is finished, the typhoon will pass.”
