Chapter 80: Chapter 080: A Human Life is Worth Less Than a Blade of Grass
Su Shu glanced out the car window, the people outside were still âdiscussingâ, and she sighed quietly to herself.
If they continued to delay like this, the people behind would really die, she said, âXiaoâai, stay in the car.â Then she pushed the door open and got out.
Left in the car, Xiaoâai stared at the small peach in her hand, tried to hold back but couldnât, the sweetness of the peach was too enticing, and Xiaoâai gently bit off a small piece with her teeth, chewed, and swallowed.
So delicious!
In the back seat was Shuanziâs wife, who was unconscious waiting for treatment, and Little Shuanzi, who refused to leave his motherâs side and remained silent.
Xiaoâai lifted her head, saw him timidly staring at her, looked down at the tiny peach in her hand, blinked her clear eyes, hesitated for two seconds, broke off the side she had been eating, and handed the rest to Little Shuanzi behind her.
Little Shuanzi shook his head fearfully, âI, I donât want it.â
Xiaoâai stretched out her arm, pushed it forward a bit more; he wouldnât take it, so she wouldnât put it down, and at last, Little Shuanzi could not resist and accepted it, Xiaoâai turned her head and smiled.
But Little Shuanzi did not eat it upon receiving it, he only smelled it in front of his nose, carefully picked out the pit, and fed the flesh to his unconscious mother.
Huh?!
Xiaoâai was somewhat surprised, and Little Shuanzi murmured shyly, âMy mom⊠her mouth is dry, she will be thirsty.â
Oh!
Xiaoâai nodded her head.
As half of the fruit flesh entered Shuanziâs wifeâs mouth, Little Shuanzi silently swallowed his saliva, held his motherâs hand, and looked through the window at the grandparents in the village next door arguing.
As a child, he could not understand what they were arguing about, but he vaguely felt that their dispute had something to do with his mother.
Did they not want to save his mother?
Little Shuanziâs gaze turned dim, his face dusty.
Xiaoâai took two pieces of milk candy from her bag, one for you, one for me, shared between them; the two young children, within the confined space, quietly accompanied each other.
Soon after, Xiaoâai saw her auntâs face turn dark as she walked back. No one noticed that Shuanziâs wife in the back seat, whose pale complexion was quietly regaining some color.
Su Shu suddenly pulled the car door open and sat down, slamming the door shut with force, and then she suddenly leaned over the steering wheel, her shoulders trembling.
Startled, Xiaoâai hugged her dinosaur toy tightly.
The little girl had not yet learned how to comfort an upset adult. After thinking, she offered her dinosaur toy to her aunt. Su Shuâs cheeks were brushed by the fuzzy object, she lifted her head, her eyes red, looking at her niece trying hard to comfort her, her heart felt a sour and indescribable feeling.
Su Shu hugged Xiaoâai tightly, hot tears silently dripped onto Xiaoâaiâs clothes.
Xiaoâai stayed still, letting her hug as tightly as she wanted.
After a while, someone outside the window said hello; Su Shu released Xiaoâai, turned her head to wipe away her tears, and her face regained a faint expression.
âMiss Su, we should still take Shuanziâs wife out of the car. If there is an accident in the car, it wonât be good for you.â
Su Shu looked down at the steering wheel, her eyes moved slightly, darkening.
âWhatever.â
The two people who came to pick up the woman were met with Su Shuâs indifference, making them feel awkward as they hurried to carry the unconscious woman out of the car; Little Shuanzi naturally followed.
Su Shu did not even lift her head; she did not want to know where they took Shuanziâs wife or what would become of the woman afterward.
Hearts can turn cold, indeed; a Ganoderma, too precious to spare for an ordinary woman to save her life.
