The whole process of the exchange between mother and aunt, Kaneki Ken stood not far away with his toy knife, watching everything.

Li Yaoxiang took the opportunity to confuse him and said, "Did you hear that?"

Kaneki Ken: "What did you hear?"

Li Yaoxiang: "Your aunt's family doesn't sound like they are struggling at all. It's just that the freezer is broken and they need to replace it with a new one immediately. If you don't have money, can't you save some money? Do you have to use the freezer?

It seems that your aunt’s freezer is more important than you——~”

Kaneki Ken: "..."

Li Yaoxiang: "In order to make money for your aunt, your mother has to sacrifice her time with you. Is this... really the result you want? Are you not going to persuade your mother anymore?"

Kaneki Ken: "Instead of hurting others, it is better to be the person who is hurt. A gentle person, this is how you will be happy. My mother is a gentle person, and I must also be a gentle person."

"Oh? Really?"

"So Kaneki Ken, you want to be a gentle child..."

"That's okay, as long as you don't regret it."

Kaneki Yan couldn't understand the meaning of Li Yaoxiang's words.

I could only watch as my haggard mother hurriedly walked back to the room from the door to get the money, then hurriedly walked to the door again and handed the money to her aunt.

Finally, she smiled tiredly at Kaneki Ken and returned to the room to do her side job.

Time flies.

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, one year has passed.

During this year, Aunt Jin Muyan would come to Jin Muyan's house on time every month to collect money.

Kaneki Ken sees his aunt once a month.

Only once.

Kaneki Ken's mother, on the other hand, would get up at six o'clock in the morning, prepare breakfast for Kaneki Ken, and then go out to work. At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, she would bring Kaneki Ken's lunch back with her, and she would do a side job at home.

At 8-9 o'clock in the evening, after finishing dinner for Kaneki Ken, he would go out to work as a cleaner.

I didn't come back until 1-2 o'clock in the middle of the night.

A life of sleeping less than 4 hours a day.

It can be said that she went out to work while Kaneki Ken was still awake. When Kaneki Ken woke up, she came back to do a side job as a companion and look after Kaneki Ken. At night, when Kaneki Ken was about to fall asleep, she went out to work again.

She thought that as long as she stayed at home while Kaneki Ken was awake, she would be accompanying him.

But is this really the case?

No, it's not.

Deep down in his heart, Kaneki Yan actually longs for his mother to take time out to spend more time with him.

The thing I look forward to most every day is the moment my mother returns home.

Even in order to see his mother more, he would sometimes deliberately adjust the time, waking up at 6 a.m., 9-10 p.m., and 1-2 a.m. or going to bed late.

But just because of that sentence.

‘Instead of hurting others, it’s better to be the one being hurt’

'Gentle people will be happy as long as they do this'

He wants to be a gentle person.

He never mentioned the matter of 'don't give money to your aunt' again.

At the same time, he was afraid of his mother's hard work, so he didn't dare to disturb her. Only occasionally when he couldn't bear it anymore, he would find some excuse to ask his mother to teach him Chinese characters and let her accompany him.

So unknowingly, he also developed the habit of reading.

Because those books were left behind by my father.

When reading those books, he would inexplicably feel that his father was accompanying him.

This kind of life lasted until a year later, when he was in elementary school.

Life has finally changed.

He met his friend from the original work, Hideyoshi Nagachita.

With Hideyoshi Nagakon by his side, his whole life has become more colorful and he is no longer as lonely as before.

In this way, for the next two years, Kaneki Ken's life revolved around his mother, Li Yaoxiang, books, and Hideyoshi Nagakon.

Days like this.

Until one day two years later.

When he came home from school, he saw his mother lying on the table and asleep.

He knew that his mother was tired, so he didn't want to wake her up. He was afraid that her mother would catch cold, so he put a quilt on her shoulders.

Even if his mother forgot to cook dinner in the evening, he would not wake her up.

He is very sensible and can just go out and buy some food by himself.

But when it was time for my mother to go out to work, her mother remained motionless.

Then he walked up to his mother and shook her shoulders: "Mother, mother?"

Yes.

His mother is dead.

Finally he couldn't stand it any longer and died of overwork.

In the original work, Jin Muyan's mother died when Jin Muyan was 10 years old. The appearance of Li Yaoxiang caused his mother to die a year early because their family's savings were exhausted early.

His mother had to start his working life early.

A few hours later…

Beep-beep!

Beep-beep!

Beep-beep!

The ambulance came to Kaneki Ken's home and confirmed his mother's death.

Nine-year-old Kaneki Ken only knows how to dial the phone to call an ambulance.

Don't understand anything else.

He just watched innocently as a group of strangers came in and out of the house, covered his mother with a white cloth, and carried her away.

Li Yaoxiang: "Did you see it?"

Kaneki Ken: "..."

Li Yaoxiang: “Have you heard the medical staff’s diagnosis?”

Kaneki Ken: "..."

Li Yaoxiang: "Your mother died of overwork. Just because your aunt has been taking money from your mother in the past few years, your mother had to work three jobs, so your mother died of overwork."

If you had persuaded your mother more not to give your aunt money and to let her rest more, maybe she wouldn't have died.

Instead of hurting others, it is better to be the one being hurt.

Gentle people will be happy as long as they do this.

Your mother did it.

But……

Gentle Yan——are you happy now?"

Kaneki Ken: "..."

At this moment, an ambulance worker walked up to Jin Muyan: "My child, don't be too sad. Is there anyone else at home? How about I call you and ask them to come and see you?"

Kaneki Ken subconsciously replied: "Aunt."

After a while.

Auntie has indeed arrived.

The moment she saw Jin Muyan, she quickly walked forward and hugged Jin Muyan into her arms: "Poor child, don't worry, you still have an aunt."

After hearing these words, Jin Muyan finally couldn't help crying.

After that, a series of follow-up matters of the funeral were also handled by this aunt.

On the day of the funeral, the relevant departments came and said they were asking about custody rights.

My aunt said to Kaneki Ken gently: "I have been causing trouble to your family in the past. At least let my aunt do her part."

Then he said to the government official: "Let my family raise Ken-kun. My family is also an only child, so if someone comes to keep Yuichi company, he will be very happy."

Kaneki Ken agreed without hesitation.

And while her aunt was chatting with government officials or signing relevant documents, Li Yaoxiang's voice sounded in Jin Muyan's mind again...
