Quick Travel System: Age Strategy

More than ten days had passed without any news. Dad, who was originally certain that he would find her, became uncertain and became more indifferent and irritable day by day.

When Zhou Ye woke up in the morning again, he held his father's hand and cried to him, "Dad, can we go find mom? I want my mom, I want my mom..."

Dad pushed Xiao Zhouye down and said to him angrily: "You keep urging me to look for your mom all day long. Do you think I don't want to look for her? I've searched everywhere in such a big city but still can't find her. Your mom! Your mom left a long time ago! She doesn't want us two anymore! Do you understand?!"

“Daddy, wuwuwu…I want my mommy! I want my mommy, wuwuwuwu…”

Dad raised his hands and cried, "Cry! Keep crying! If you cry again, I will beat you!"

“Wuwuwuwu…hiccup…wuwuwu…” Little Zhou Ye looked sadly at his father who was crying and hitting him, and the hiccups did not stop.

Even the hand his father waving at him could not compare to one ten-thousandth of the sadness in his heart.

They all told him that his mother didn't want him anymore, but he couldn't figure out why. Was it because he wasn't good enough? If he learned to be good, would his mother come back? Or was it because he ate too much and made his mother angry, so if he ate less in the future, would his mother come back?

Little Zhou Ye still didn't believe it. He still firmly believed that his mother must be hiding somewhere in the city, and he would definitely find her if he looked carefully.

Mom is playing hide-and-seek with him, she doesn't abandon him.

He is the treasure in his parents' hearts. His mother says that he is her favorite child.

But Dad didn't want to look for him anymore, so he packed up his things and took him away the next day.

Little Zhou Ye held the door and refused to leave, crying and shouting to his father: "Dad, don't leave, Mom is still here. Let's find Mom... I want to find Mom..."

Dad shook his hand off, pointed at him and said loudly: "Zhou Ye! Are you leaving or not? If not, I will leave by myself! You stay and go find your mother. I told you that your mother doesn't want you anymore, don't you understand? You won't be able to find her if she doesn't want you."

Zhou Ye kicked his father and said angrily, "You are talking nonsense!"

"Little brat! Are you itching for trouble? I'm here to teach you a lesson! Come on! Follow me!" As he said that, he grabbed his arm and tried to pull him away.

"I won't! I won't! I want to stay!"

"Stay for nothing! Do you know how much it costs to stay here for a day? I'm almost out of money. No, you have to come with me today!"

After saying that, he walked up and hugged Zhou Ye.

"Let me go! Dad, let me go! I want to find my mom!"

"What are you looking for? Where can you find it in such a big city? Come back with me!"

"I do not!"

In the end, little Zhou Ye couldn't resist his father's control and was taken on the train.

From then on, his mother could no longer be found in his childhood. After returning home, little Zhou Ye discovered that many photos of his mother were missing from the house. His grandmother said that she had burned them all in the stove.

Dad didn't react to this. Seeing that everyone in the family seemed to not care whether Mom would come back in the future, Zhou Ye was deeply hurt by their behavior.

Without saying another word, he went into his mother's room and searched again and again.

Finally, before going to bed at night, he found a photo of his mother, which is the one he is holding in his hand now.

……

Zhou Ye couldn't get over it for a long time after his mother passed away.

He also became estranged from his family, and seeing him like this, his grandmother no longer loved him.

In just one month, the family seemed to have changed completely. Grandma started arranging Dad's marriage and looked for someone to introduce him to.

My father didn't want to go home and often went to live in the city.

I don’t know if Dad is avoiding home or doesn’t want to see him, or is afraid that living here will remind him of his past with Mom.

He didn't know. He only knew clearly that he had gone from being the beloved little treasure of the family to being the most ignored person in the family, with no sense of existence at all.

But even so, Zhou Ye would look at the family photo in his hand to comfort himself at night.

It’s okay, Dad will be back to normal when Mom comes back.

They will still be a happy family of three.

But soon his father got married, and Zhou Ye felt that everything he had believed in before had betrayed him.

Later, his father asked him to call that woman "Mom", which completely destroyed the warmth he had for his family.

After getting married, his father returned to his home in the countryside. Even through the wall between them, Zhou Ye could always hear his father's happy laughter.

This was the kind of hearty laugh that had never appeared since his mother passed away.

Whenever this happened, he would look at the photo with a heavy expression, sit on his little bed in silence, or hide under the quilt and cry secretly.

The happiness of the other house no longer belonged to him.

……

Sometimes, Zhou Ye would run to the hillside and talk about his worries to the yellow earth below.

This time what he wanted to say was that his stepmother was pregnant. His grandmother smiled and said that it must be a boy in the belly, and the woman also smiled happily.

Is it really that happy to be pregnant with a son? Did the family forget that they already have a son? Otherwise, how could they smile so happily?

Every time he looked at the smiles on their faces, he would wonder if his grandmother was also looking forward to his birth like she was now before he was born.

People here are saying that it was right for the mother to leave, as she could find another husband and son in the city, away from her husband and son in the countryside.

Most people praised my mother for being smart. When she went to the countryside, she did not get a marriage certificate with my father and just held a wedding banquet in the village. Now she can run away at will, and there will be no law to restrict her.

But when it comes to him, the villagers only feel pity for him. He lost his mother at such a young age, and his father has a new family. How can he find a partner in the future with such a family background?

The classmates were all children from nearby villages, and they all knew about his family's affairs. This matter became a hot topic in the class.

Someone would deliberately say to him: "Zhou Ye, your new mother is pregnant with your younger brother, and you will have no status when he is born."

Every time he heard this, he would say angrily: "None of your business!"

In fact, he would silently say in his heart, if there is a way, then go, since he is a child that no one cares about now.

But his words still couldn't get rid of the people who always came up to him and made fun of him.

More and more people in class talked about his family affairs without any hesitation.

Rather than talking about how his family is doing now, Zhou Ye cares more about what people say about his mother.

"My mother said that your mother ran off with a wild man, is that right, Zhou Ye!?"

"Don't mention my mother!"

Several classmates surrounded Zhou Ye and pushed him, saying, "I just mentioned it, so what?! Your mother doesn't want you anymore, so why can't I mention it?"

"That's right, Zhou Ye is a wild child."

"Hahahaha, this wild child that no one wants and no one loves!"

"Let's just call him Wild Boy from now on."

"Hahahahaha..."
