"Thank you, thank you..." Upon hearing Xiaoxiao agree, Shitou's mother said thank you several times in a row.
She was truly grateful, knowing they would be good to her son, and her son wouldn't have to suffer with her anymore.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down." Xiaoxiao helped Shitou's mother up and seated her by the side of the bed.
Just as she was about to mention leaving some things for Shitou's mother, the door was pushed open.
Little Shitou ran in, dashed to the side of the bed, and threw himself into Shitou's mother's arms, crying out, "Mom, Shitou isn't going anywhere. Shitou doesn't want to be separated from you."
At that moment, Shitou's mother was even more moved to tears, thinking, it's just as well; it saves having to tell him later. We're leaving at midnight, and he would have found out eventually.
She stroked Little Shitou's head and said, "Son, listen to Mom. Go with your uncle and aunt; they will treat you well."
