Due to the rumor, when Feng Lin arrived in the classroom, many children from other classes came to ask about his family situation.
Feng Lin sat in his seat, lowered his head and read a book, ignoring the noise around him.
"Feng Lin, what did your father do that made your grandfather drive him away?" asked a child.
"What did he do to make your grandfather angry? I heard that your grandfather severed the family relationship between you and your father. Is that true?" another one asked.
Hearing this, a little girl asked, "In other words, Feng Lin is now a child without a father?"
"What do you mean without a father? He also has no mother. So, he should be an orphan, right?"
"That’s not right. He still has grandparents, so he’s not an orphan."
Listening to the children talking about his family as simply as talking about the weather, Feng Lin clenched his fists until his book crumpled.
He wanted to quarrel with them and tell them that he was not an orphan. He has a mother and a father. However, his parents abandoned him and formed a new family. So, what they said is actually correct.
When the children saw that he was ignoring them, one of them was unhappy and snatched away his book.
Feng Lin stood up and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?! Give me my book back!"
"Hey, Feng Lin, we are talking to you. Why are you ignoring us and pretending to be reading your book?" asked the child who took his book.
"Yes, we thought you were deaf. Turns out you can hear!"
"I think it must be because he is stupid that his parents didn’t want him. I heard that his father brought back his new wife and son. Everyone said that his half-brother was very cute and smart, unlike him who looks like a beggar."
As children, they have no idea how hurtful their words can be. They only copy what they hear from their parents and adults at home.
Since everyone always laughs after saying this, they think it is normal to say this and treat it as a joke. Little did they know that their words left deep scars on Feng Lin’s heart.
Feng Lin was so angry that his little body was shaking. But his left shoulder hadn’t fully healed yet, and he didn’t dare rush over to fight them.
Not only were they winning in numbers, but his left arm also no longer has the same strength as before.
It’s alright to use his left arm to hold light objects and do light work. But if he lifts heavy objects or uses too much force, it will be very painful.
He couldn’t help his grandparents work at home, let alone fight with these children. So, he could only stand there to listen and watch them insult him and laugh at his family.
Just as the children were laughing at him, the classroom door was pushed open suddenly, and hit the wall with a loud bang.
