Chapter 818: A Promise
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Unable to hesitate any longer, Su Bing revealed the truth to Gu Zi, “Mom, actually, when Su Li told you about Zhou Hua bullying the street vendor boy, something else happened that day. Su Li’s homework book disappeared, and Teacher Zhou deliberately made things difficult for him in class, punishing him by making him stand for a whole period. I made the decision to keep it from you.”
After a pause, he continued, “That day, I lied to Su Li about going back to do the duty, using Zhou Hua’s bullying of the street vendor boy as a cover. I called the police and had Zhou Hua taken away. After she was released, I put a sack over her head, and Da Hu and his two brothers beat her up. Mom, I couldn’t stand by and watch Zhou Hua cause trouble over and over again, so I fought back. Mom, will you still love me?”
As Su Bing asked this question, he already had an answer in his heart. He was certain his mother would think he was a bad person and wouldn’t love him anymore.
Finally, Gu Zi looked at him. At this point, his head was lowered, his lips were tightly drawn, and his mood was low. Gu Zi paused for a moment before asking, “What about those boys?”
Caught off guard, Su Bing was unsure of his mother’s attitude. He nervously replied, “After I helped them, Da Hu and his brothers wanted to follow me. I thought it would be a good idea to find people to do business and make money, just like you, Mom. I thought they were suitable, so I made a deal with them. I would teach them about culture and business, invest some capital, and they would implement it, sharing the profits.”
As he spoke, Su Bing took out a roll of money from his pocket and placed it on the table. Gu Zi glanced at it, noting it was about twenty yuan. She continued to look at him sternly, “What does this mean?”
Su Bing dared not meet his mother’s eyes, fearing he would see disgust in them. He lowered his head and quietly explained, “This is the money I earned from selling snacks and milk pudding. This is my share, Mom. I’ll give it all to you, and I’ll give you everything I earn in the future.”
Even if his mother didn’t love him anymore, he was willing to give her the money. As long as his mother was still around, it wouldn’t be too bad. He was prepared to avoid his mother in the future, so she wouldn’t see his troubles.
