Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

to the place.

We parked the car in a slightly wider area.

We walked and asked people, after all, the village was very complicated.

Fortunately, the kind-hearted villagers quickly took us to Xiaokun's home.

I stood outside the closed door and didn't go in for a while. I didn't know how to explain this matter, and I didn't have the heart to tell them that Xiaokun was gone...

I'm standing here and I'm a little afraid to go in! What should I do...

"Don't think about it, just go in." The boss patted my shoulder.

I took a deep breath and walked towards the door.

The person who opened the door was an old lady with a weathered face. I thought about it and realized that the eldest brother said that Xiaokun had a mother and an older brother, so this person should be her mother.

I was a little surprised. Xiaokun looked to be in her early 20s, while her mother looked very weathered. I think it would not be an exaggeration to say she was in her 70s.

I felt sad all of a sudden. If my elderly mother knew Xiaokun...

"Auntie, is this Kunxin's home?" The eldest brother put his arm around my shoulders and said, "We are Xiaokun's friends, and we are here to visit her mother."

"Who is it! Who is outside the door? There's been no response for so long! I thought you were dead!" A sharp woman's voice came from the room and suddenly brought me back to reality from my sadness.

Xiaokun's mother lowered her head. She looked embarrassed and a little embarrassed after hearing this voice.

The hand like a dead tree has been sliding back and forth on the rough wooden door. "That...that...Xiao Kun..."

The door was suddenly opened with great force.

A woman with a very mean look appeared in front of me. This was my first impression of this woman. I don’t like this woman!

The woman glanced at me, then she looked at the boss, and then she smiled, which was the kind of smile I disliked the most...

"Who are you looking for?" the woman said as she rudely pushed Xiaokun's mother into the door, as if she didn't want outsiders to see the family's dirty laundry.

I quickly reached out and grabbed Xiaokun's mother who was staggering backwards.

"Kun Xin is our friend. We passed by here today and came to visit her mother." The eldest brother looked at the mean woman with a smile.

I looked at the eldest brother. Actually, my face should have turned black at that time, but the eldest brother was more mature than me. After hearing what he said, the mean woman stopped being so rude to Xiaokun's mother.

But after the mean woman saw the boss, her attitude became very good. She rubbed her hands on herself and quickly let the boss and I into the house.

The eldest brother and I walked into the gate, and I supported Xiaokun's mother.

After I walked in, I knew how hard life was in this family.

I think the houses in the countryside nowadays are no longer made of mud houses. My eldest brother and I walked along the road and saw that most of the houses were brick houses, some of which were uniquely decorated.

But when I entered Xiaokun's house, I really felt like I was in the countryside. There were several chickens running around in the small yard, and it seemed like these few chickens filled the entire yard.

Then there was a dilapidated earthen house, most of which was blackened by smoke, which was very depressing to look at.

I frowned and sighed. How could I possibly live in this place? It was too hard.

"Come in, come in, sit down, come in, sit down!" The mean woman wiped two small round chairs with a rag and asked me and the eldest brother to sit down.

Then he glared at Xiaokun's mother and said, "Go get some water!"

"Oh, oh, wait a minute." Xiao Kun's mother staggered to find water.

"no need."

"unnecessary."

The boss and I said it at the same time.

Then, I grabbed Xiao Kun's mother and said, "Auntie, please don't be busy. Talk to me for a while and then we will leave. We have other things to do and can't sit for too long."

I stood up and pulled Xiaokun's mother to sit in my chair.

The boss gave me his chair.

The mean woman quickly went to get another chair for the boss.

I ignored that woman.

"Girl, you know our Xiao Kun. How is she now? Is she okay? Is she eating well when she is alone outside? Is she missing anything? If she is missing anything, tell me and I will give it to Xiao Kun..."

Xiaokun's mother hadn't finished speaking yet.

"Give it to me. What can you give me? What else do you have that I don't know?" the mean woman said.

I turned and frowned at the mean woman.

"Auntie, Xiaokun is very good. She is a very hard-working and kind girl. We all like her very much. She has everything she needs. If she needs anything, we will help her."

The boss patted my shoulder and suppressed my anger.

"That's good, that's good. She hasn't been back for a long time. I'm worried about her. Please tell her that I'm fine and everything is fine at home. Tell her to take care of herself and not to worry about us... Just let her be well."

Xiaokun's mother held my hand and looked at me with her cloudy eyes.

"I…"

I was a little choked up, really, tears kept welling up in my eyes, I tried hard not to let them flow out

"I know, Auntie. We will take good care of Xiaokun. Xiaokun often mentions you to us. We happened to pass by here today and came to see you." The eldest brother kept patting my shoulder gently.

"well."

Xiaokun's mother held my hand tightly, and I saw her eyes turned red. Her rough hands stroked my hands, as if they were grinding against my heart.

"Leader, you are Xiaokun's leader, right..." the sarcastic woman said.

"Yeah, yes." The boss replied.

"Then...how much money can Xiaokun make in a month? She has been away for so long, isn't it a bit..." The mean woman gestured, meaning money

"I'm not sure about that. Everyone's salary is confidential." The boss looked at the mean woman calmly.

"Oh... then has she... found any rich man..." the mean woman asked mysteriously in a low voice.

"I don't know." The boss frowned.

"She's still so useless! It's right to kick her out!" the mean woman muttered in a low voice.

I heard it very clearly.

I turned to look at the mean woman, "Did you kick Xiao-kun out?"

"Ah? What?" The mean woman looked at me in surprise.

"Why did you kick her out!" I was a little angry.

"Rongyue!" The boss reminded me beside me.

"I didn't kick her out, she wanted to leave on her own! Look at this house, there's no room for her! This old thing..."

At this point, the mean woman looked at me and quickly changed her words, "This old woman has no place to live! Not to mention a girl like her! She wanted to leave on her own, how could I stop her!"

Xiaokun's mother turned her back to us and was secretly wiping away her tears.

I couldn't help myself, so I lowered my head and took a deep breath! A deep breath!

"That's all for today. We have to go back too, otherwise it will be difficult to walk after dark. Let's go, Rongyue." The boss patted me on the shoulder, put his arm around my shoulders and asked me to stand up.

I nodded and held Xiaokun's mother, "Ah...Auntie, I have something for you, come with me."

"Oh, okay, okay." Xiaokun's mother kept holding my hand.

I have never seen my mother, but at that moment I felt that I was Xiao Kun. This mother held my hand like her own child. As we walked out, I couldn't hold back my tears.

I tilted my head back, trying to hold back my tears. It was not appropriate to cry at this time.

My head was turned to the other side and I saw the boss's face.

The boss wiped my eyes with a napkin and said, "You must have been choked by the smoke. I told you not to stay too long."

"Yeah." I nodded, and Boss Ren wiped my tears because I was reluctant to let go of Xiaokun's mother.

“That’s what happens when you have big eyes, they’re too sensitive.” The eldest brother laughed.

I controlled my tears and smiled at the boss. He could see the gratitude in my eyes. I thanked him for always helping me out.

Then I turned around and took Xiaokun's mother and continued walking.

"Where are you going? Wait! I'm going too!" A mean woman's voice came from behind.

I ignored her and took Xiaokun's mother to the boss's car.

"Oh my! What kind of car is this! Such a nice car!"

The mean woman excitedly shouted when she saw the boss's car.

Because I don’t know when a circle of people had gathered around the boss’s car, including children and adults, all looking at the boss’s car. This kind of luxury car is not common in the city, let alone in the village.

"Oh, our Xiao Kun'er's leader! Look at this car, it's so luxurious. Our Xiao Kun is doing really well!" The mean woman began to brag loudly.

I walked straight to the passenger seat and took out my bag. I pulled out a small wad of money from the ten thousand yuan inside, then turned around and looked at the children playing around the car.

"Children, come here." I looked at these children and gave each of them a piece of paper.

"This is from Sister Xiaokun. Go buy some delicious food!"

The children cheered, and even the parents kept thanking him and praising Xiaokun for his success and generosity.

"Oh my, look at our Xiao Kun! We're even giving you money!" The mean woman quickly ran to my side.

I didn't look at her. I returned to the passenger seat.

The mean woman quickly ran to my side, and when she saw me trying to take my bag, she pushed Xiao Kun's mother away, then grabbed my bag and looked inside.

"What are you doing! Don't touch my things! Do you have any manners?" I shouted at her in disgust, and then went to help Xiaokun's mother.

"Just watch, don't do anything." The boss patted me gently to comfort me, and said to the woman coldly.

I was so angry at that time that I almost cried again. Damn it, these tears came at the wrong time!

"Rongyue, don't be angry anymore, it's time for us to leave." The boss lowered his head and whispered in my ear.

"Girl, I'm sorry, don't be angry anymore, auntie apologizes to you... She won't take your things, she is wrong, don't be angry..."

"Aunt!"

I looked at Xiaokun's mother. She looked so humble, which made me feel very sad.

Huh, I couldn’t care less. I wiped away my tears, walked to the passenger seat, put the remaining money in the bag, wrote my cell phone number on a piece of money, and gave the bag to Xiaokun’s mother.

"Auntie, these are the money Xiaokun has saved in the past few years. It's not much, but it's all her belongings. You can decide what to do with the money. Whether you keep it for your retirement or give it to this woman, she doesn't care. She just wishes you the best. Take good care of yourself. My cell phone number is on this card. You can call me if you have any problems. I will help you no matter what it is, okay! Can you... take good care of yourself!" I looked at Xiaokun's mother.

Xiaokun's mother also looked at me. She didn't quite understand what I gave her.

I was actually very anxious and angry. I knew that if I gave the money to Xiaokun's mother, it would be snatched away by a mean woman. But what could I do? This was what I owed this mother, and it was far from enough to pay for a life.

I looked at Xiaokun's mother and said, "Take good care of yourself. I'll come to see you later. Remember my phone number, okay? I'm leaving now."

After saying that, I turned around and got in the car. I didn't sit on the passenger seat. I sat behind the boss so that he wouldn't see me if I cried. I needed a corner right now.

The boss got in the car.

When the car drove away, the dirt it raised covered the mean woman.

Then I saw Xiaokun's mother standing in the flying dirt. She looked at the package in her arms, then looked at me.

She took a few steps forward, but she couldn't catch up with me, just like she missed her child but would never be able to see him.
