"Dongzi—" Hearing her child call out for mom, Cheng Mother wiped her face and reached out to hold onto the child. Yet before she could touch him, he dodged away. It was crystal clear who the child had chosen.
Cheng Mother's face instantly darkened. She had thought that the court and her daughter-in-law were acting on their own without considering the child's wishes, but now it seemed the child simply couldn't part with his mother.
The minibus heading for Cheng Mother's hometown honked its horn, and the conductor poked his head out of the vehicle, shouting, "Any more passengers getting on?"
Dongzi was clinging tightly to his aunt, refusing to leave her side no matter what.
Cheng Mother gradually showed signs of exhaustion. She stood up, turned around, picked up her cloth bag, and began shuffling towards the bus station. After a few steps, she seemed to remember something and hurried back, flustered.
Manman and Little Dongzi immediately watched her warily.
