Chapter 131: Chapter 131
After school, Chen Haoxuan did not go out to play with Fatty and Hei Zi because his sister, Chen Meng’er, had returned. Instead, he went to the third grade with his sister to wait for his older brother, Chen Haoguo, to be dismissed.
Due to the difference in age, Chen Haoguo’s third grade was a little later than Chen Meng’er’s first grade.
Once Chen Haoguo’s class was dismissed, someone walked out of the classroom. When he saw Chen Meng’er and Chen Haoxuan, he turned around and shouted into the classroom, “Chen Haoguo, your younger brother and sister are here to wait for you after school.”
Chen Haoguo’s classmates were already used to it. Every day at noon and at the end of school, there were two little kids waiting outside. Moreover, every time the first student walked out of the classroom, he would say this to Chen Haoguo.
Very soon, Chen Haoguo walked out of the classroom with his school bag on his back. Along with Chen Haoguo was a boy named Chen Ming. This boy was quite introverted and didn’t talk much. Therefore, before this semester, Chen Ming didn’t have any friends in the class or in the Chen family village.
Chen Haoguo became friends with Chen Ming because of Chen Meng’er. Once, Chen Meng’er went out for a walk under the leadership of her two older brothers. She wasn’t familiar with the girls in the Chen Village, so she didn’t want to play games with them. She just sat at the side and watched her two older brothers play.
The bored Chen Meng’er noticed Chen Ming sitting at the side just like her. However, Chen Ming’s gaze was different from the way Chen Meng’er looked at everyone playing. Chen Ming looked enviously at the figures of the village children who were playing crazily.
Looking at Chen Ming’s apprehensive and envious gaze, Chen Meng’er’s heart stirred. She stood up and walked over to Chen Ming and asked, “Why don’t you go play with them?”
Chen Ming raised his head and looked against the sunlight. When he saw Chen Meng’er standing in front of him, for a moment, he thought that he had seen an angel. He narrowed his eyes and said, “I want to play too, but they don’t want to take me with them. They say I’m a child without a father.” Chen Ming’s eyes flashed with grievance.
When Chen Meng’er heard Chen Ming say this, she remembered that she had heard her parents mention a woman in the village who had saved an injured man in the back mountain. And when that man was recuperating in that woman’s home, after a long period of time, she fell in love with that woman. Then, they got married. However, not long after the two of them got married, that man suddenly disappeared. Then, that woman found out that she was pregnant.
And after that woman’s family found out that the woman was pregnant, they wanted that woman to abort the child. In this way. She could easily remarry. However, that woman insisted on having the child. She said that she firmly believed that her husband would come back.
“It seems that the boy in front of me should be that woman’s child.” Chen Meng’er looked at Chen Ming in front of her with mixed feelings. She knew that the children nowadays were influenced by the adults in the family. That was why they would reject Chen Ming, who could be considered a child from a single-parent family.
If this happened ten to twenty years later, there wouldn’t be too many children from a single-parent family.
“Then do you want to play with them?” Chen Meng’er was like a teacher in a kindergarten at this time,
“Yes.” Chen Ming’s eyes sparkled as he said.
Chen Meng’er was now seriously looking at Chen Ming’s appearance. Chen Ming was very handsome. And if Chen Ming’s pupils were carefully looked at, they would glow a little blue. This discovery made Chen Meng’er have a thought in her heart. This Chen Ming’s father was either a foreigner or of mixed blood. Chen Meng’er thought that the chances of him being of mixed blood were higher.
“Then follow me.” Chen Meng’er gestured for Chen Ming to stand up and follow her. Chen Ming actually stood up obediently and followed behind Chen Meng’er..
