Chapter 7

“What’s wrong? Mom...” Looking at my mother’s appearance at this time, I couldn’t help but ask with a guilty conscience.

“Ah...” Mom sighed, then walked to my bedside, took a stool and sat down. Mom didn’t go to the warehouse tonight. Since I came back at night, Mom seemed to be hesitant to speak, and I have already discovered this abnormality.

“Son, you’ve grown up, it’s time to talk to you about something...” Mom, who was wearing conservative home clothes at the time, sighed and said to me, but there was still a gentle smile on her face. Mom is like this, rarely frowning, and usually always with a faint smile, just like Mona Lisa’s smile. I didn’t say anything, and continued to wait for Mom to continue.

“Have you been to the warehouse?” Mom asked me suddenly after a brief pause. I was shocked because it was too sudden. I had just been there yesterday. How could she find out now? How did she find out? I rarely hide any secrets from my mother. I didn’t expect that she would reveal it as soon as I hid something. I didn’t need to answer at this time. My reaction had already explained the answer. I was so flustered that I couldn’t hide it at all.

“I’m sorry, Mom...” I thought about it briefly, but I still couldn’t lie to my mother. Besides, I couldn’t lie at all, and it would be bad if she found out.

“Don’t blame mom. I rummaged through your schoolbag this afternoon and found this key...” As mom said this, she opened her palm and found the key I had prepared for her.

“Son, there are many things that mom cannot explain to you. Yes, mom does live broadcasts and WeChat business to sell those things. Do you think mom...” Mom seemed a little embarrassed and stopped at the end and did not continue.

“No, Mom, I know you are doing this to support me and this family. You have no one to rely on, and you have to do this to support my studies and life. Besides, selling those things is not illegal, and the profit is very high...” Seeing my mother’s look, I hurriedly explained. After hearing what I said, my mother was obviously stunned, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes, and she seemed to relax a lot.

“My son has finally grown up and understands his mother...” Mom said with a smile, and then gently stroked my head with her warm hands.

“You are still young, and you cannot be exposed to these things in advance, so as to avoid a bad influence on your growth. That’s why mom has been hiding it from you...” Mom seemed to know why I made a key, so she explained to me gently that mom just didn’t want to influence me, so she kept it hidden from me.

“I understand, Mom...” I nodded quickly.

“Do you think your mother is a bad person?” My mother cares about me as her son very much, so she asked with some concern.

“I have just explained it. I understand mom. After knowing this, I can better understand the hard work mom put in raising me...” I quickly grabbed my mother’s hand and said. I couldn’t help but tremble in my heart as I touched my mother’s jade hand.
