Chapter 107: The Overburdened Child
His mother had also come to the roof. The air of a wealthy lady that she always carried was gone. She looked at the boy and said in pain, “Yangyang, what are you doing? If you’re gone, how can Mommy live?”
“You’re killing Mommy.”
“Yangyang, come down. Mommy only has you left.”
After the woman said this, Zhou Yang’s eyes suddenly revealed a hint of fright, and his feet started to move outwards again.
The woman screamed in fear.
The surrounding police officers had not expected the child’s mother to have a negative effect. They could only quickly pull the woman to the side.
After the woman left, Zhou Yang’s expression returned to being dull and lifeless.
The situation was in a deadlock. Xiao Ying took a step forward and shouted, “Zhou Yang!”
Hearing the voice, he slowly turned his head and saw Xiao Ying’s figure. Suddenly, tears fell from his eyes.
He bit his lips habitually, not making a sound.
Seeing the child’s reddened eyes, everyone present could feel his aggrievance and helplessness.
Xiao Ying’s eyes reddened unconsciously as well.
She had a good impression of this child. He was always obedient and stood by the side quietly.
Seeing that Xiao Ying could influence the child, the policemen gave the two of them some space.
Xiao Ying stepped forward and said, “You don’t actually want to jump off this building, do you?”
She waited patiently for his answer. After a long moment, he said, choking up, “Mommy threw away my butterfly and my ant.”
Xiao Ying was stunned. She had not expected this to be the reason.
He looked at Xiao Ying in confusion and said, “Big Sister, I’m already very obedient. Why is Mommy still not satisfied?”
“I study hard every day and go to tutoring classes. I’m not playful or disobedient, so why would Mommy throw them away?”
Xiao Ying felt that the boy was not referring to the butterfly, so she asked, “What did she throw away?”
The brightness in Zhou Yang’s eyes diminished again. He shook his head and said, “I can’t say. Mommy will be angry.”
He looked into the distance and said, “Big Sister, I don’t want Mommy anymore.”
With that, he dived headfirst.
Xiao Ying, who had already taken the opportunity to get close to him, grabbed his hand.
The boy’s body weight was still too heavy for her. Xiao Ying felt a sharp pain in her arm.
Fortunately, with the help of the police officers beside her, they were able to pull the boy up.
The woman by the side ran over and hugged the boy. She was already sobbing uncontrollably as she cried, “Mommy was wrong. Yangyang, Mommy will never throw them away again. Mommy will agree to whatever you do. Don’t scare Mommy like that again.”
Zhou Yang’s expression remained dull, and he did not move even when the woman hugged him.
After that, they learned from the woman that Zhou Yang had liked drawing since he was young, and then he had become interested in making clay figurines.
However, she thought those who made clay figurines had no future, so she threw out everything he owned that was related to drawing or clay sculpting.
The child had not said anything, so nobody knew how aggrieved he was feeling inside.
Later on, Xiao Ying had only heard that they moved away, and there had been no more news of them.
This incident had also been widely reported by the media. Was a child’s interests or their parents’ idea of what would bring them a promising future more important?
The netizens each had their own opinions and started to discuss fervently.
There was no doubt that the woman loved her child, but her love was too burdensome.
She had never considered whether her child’s shoulders could bear it.
Xiao Ying was dejected for a long time before she recovered.
After sorting through her emotions, Xiao Ying took out the DSLR camera that she had just bought and started adjusting it. She was preparing to record the first video.
At the beginning of the video, Xiao Ying had said that this was only a sharing of knowledge, not an official lecture. Any objections could be raised and discussed.
