It was three or four o'clock in the morning. In the dark and messy small rental house, the dusty incandescent lamp flickered on with a weak light and made a buzzing sound from time to time.
The little boy was curled up on the sofa. His face was dirty, which was completely consistent with the surrounding environment. His disheveled hair, traces of runny nose and tears turned into a dark brown solid substance that stuck to his face, hands and clothes. A small ball appeared on the sofa.
Outside the house there was roaring thunder and heavy rain, and on the opposite side of the sofa were the boy's parents who were arguing.
"Don't delay! You went gambling again, and your family has been ruined by your gambling!"
"You don't have to worry about my business, the girls are so noisy!"
After the drunken man finished speaking, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. At this time, the boy was awakened by the noise they made. He rubbed his eyes with his dusty little hands, opened the door and went outside by himself as usual, and then came in after there was no movement in the house. There was a sudden "bang", and the light from lightning illuminated the house.
The boy was frightened and cried. He hurriedly ran to the woman and said with a hint of tears: "Mom."
The woman's anger from the quarrel with Wang Chimo was gone for a while, and she yelled at the boy: "Go away, I'm so annoying! Cry, cry, cry, you'll cry all the time!" Then she picked up the boy, patted his back, and shook him gently.
"Be good, don't cry. It's no use to my mother. She made a mistake and married such a thing!" As she said that, the woman also started crying. After a while, she wiped away her tears and seemed to have made a great decision...
