Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 434: Countless Stupas Victory_1

Facing a child not even ten years old, to say something as tender as "you without a mother", how cruel is that?

Liu Xudong felt that he couldn’t bring himself to do such a heartless deed, yet Xiao Ming said it as naturally as if losing a mother was as common and trivial as eating and drinking.

And Liu Zi’an clearly didn’t understand the logic in his words, but he knew what "without a mother" meant. His little face flushed red, and tears started to accumulate in his eyes.

"Now, tell uncle again, where did that sister hit you?" Xiao Ming asked again.

"Sister... sister didn’t hit me."

"Then why did you tell your mother she did?"

"Because I was scared. Sister is so fierce."

"Why is sister fierce?"

Liu Zi’an stopped talking, his little mouth pursed tightly, his eyes constantly looking towards his mother. freewebnøvel.coɱ

But his mother was crying over her disfigured face at the moment, with no mind to attend to him.

"Hmm, you can’t answer this question, then uncle will ask another one."

Xiao Ming’s tone was still incredibly gentle, "Did you kill the cat in that cardboard box?"

Liu Zi’an shook his head subconsciously: "No..."

Before he could finish, Xiao Ming commanded sharply, "Thumb!"

Whoosh!

Xiao Li acted without hesitation, and with a flash of cold light, Liu Xudong’s right thumb fell to the ground.

The father’s cry of pain caused Liu Zi’an’s body to tremble violently, and his originally flushed face turned pale in an instant.

Xiao Ming picked up the severed finger from the ground and held it up to him.

"This is your father’s finger, the one that used to hold you, comfort you, and play with you.

Because you lied again, father will lose it forever.

The uncles lying on the ground over there won’t listen to a cripple, they’ll gang up and bully your father, and they might even kill him.

Then, you’ll become an orphan without a mother and father, all the other kids can bully you, and no one will be there to help you, love you, make you good food, or buy you toys.

Do you like that?"

"Wah..."

Liu Zi’an finally couldn’t hold back and burst into tears, "I don’t like it! I don’t want to be without a mother and father, I don’t want to be an orphan..."

"Shut up!"

Xiao Ming shouted fiercely, startling the little boy into a violent shudder, causing him to clamp his mouth shut, not daring to make a sound, but unable to stop his sobs.

Xiao Ming’s face no longer had any gentleness, cold as ice.

"Answer me, was it you who killed the cat?"

Liu Zi’an pursed his lips and nodded forcefully.

"Why?"

"It was... fun..."

"Then remember, this kind of fun leads to having no father or mother.

If you ever dare hurt any animal again, even just hitting or kicking, you could end up an orphan, understand?"

Xiao Ming’s voice got louder and louder, finally becoming fiercely intense. Liu Zi’an, who had never been treated so harshly, could barely keep from crying.

"Take this."

Xiao Ming thrust the bloody thumb into the boy’s hands, "Hold on to it well, they can reattach it to your father at the hospital.

Otherwise, just wait to be without a father!"

Having said this, he stood up and walked away, with Xiao Li quickly packing up the knife and carrying the cardboard box to follow him.

Liu Zi’an gripped his father’s thumb with all his might, trembling all over, the bright spark in his eyes that belongs to a child having long been extinguished, leaving only deep terror.

Clearly, today’s incident would become a lifelong psychological shadow for him, and his personality might drastically change as well.

As for this, Xiao Ming not only didn’t care but even felt like he was returning a favor with kindness, a virtue greater than creating countless stupas.

Those who could commit animal cruelty obviously lacked empathy.

Adults might cope better since social rules can make them pay a price, but a child doing this indicates a born antisocial personality, likely to become malevolent if given the right conditions.

Many serial killers grow up this way.

Compared to letting a potential villain be, Xiao Ming would rather destroy his future, perhaps saving some innocent lives—definitely the work of creating many stupas.

"Stop crying, you wretch! Hurry up and hold your kid and go to the hospital!"

As Xiao Ming walked away, Liu Xudong gave a resentful glance at his retreating figure and hurried towards his car.

His wife, holding their son, followed suit and sat in the passenger seat. As the engine started, a tantalizing female voice suddenly rang out from the back seat.

"Mr. Liu, do you want to return everything you suffered today to Xiao Ming, tenfold or a hundredfold?"

Taking the elevator to the surface, Xiao Ming and Xiao Li carefully chose a fence covered with white clematis to dig a hole beneath it and bury three cats, one large and two small.

While doing this, Xiao Li exhibited no trace of fierceness but looked serious and gentle, like a peaceful and quiet girl-next-door.

"I still owe you a Christmas present! Let’s find a cat house tomorrow and buy a kitten for you, okay?" Xiao Ming said, "What breed do you want to raise?"

"Thank you, sir! I..."

Xiao Li had just started shaking her head when she suddenly froze, staring straight at the flowers beside her.

Xiao Ming turned to look and saw a calico kitten sitting under the bushes.

The kitten was primarily white with a patch of yellow fur on its domed head, but its nose and mouth were black, like it had whiskers, looking endearingly awkward and similar to the mother cat they had just buried.

"Little Whiskers, is that you?"

Xiao Li’s eyes reddened, her voice trembling; Xiao Ming, however, smiled very happily.

Who says adults can’t bully children? Good karma, here it comes.
