Li Yaoxiang: “Do you really think so?”

Seeing mother’s body, Kaneki Ken still crying, subconsciously said: “What do you mean?”

Li Yaoxiang: “Do you really think your aunt said she wanted to take care of you to fulfill her duty?”

Kaneki Ken couldn’t understand why Li Yaoxiang said so.

I don’t know how to answer.

This…

Isn’t she supposed to?

mother was so gentle, aunt was the older sister.

She should be as gentle as mother, right?

Li Yaoxiang did not plan to guess the dumb mystery with him. At this time, he did not bury hatred in Kaneki Ken’s heart, and he waited longer: “Aren’t you curious? Didn’t your aunt say all the time before, that she has no money at home?” Why is there money now for funerals for your mother?”

Kaneki Ken still does not understand.

Li Yaoxiang: “Because what she is using is your mother’s money. This is the money your mother has left for you. Only when you are taken away can your aunt use the money legally.”

Li Yaoxiang did not explain to Kaneki Ken what complicated issues such as insurance and housing.

Just briefly talk about the main points.

‘Aunt did it for money.’

Li Yaoxiang did not lie to Kaneki Ken, which was not mentioned in the original work, but the fact that Li Yaoxiang saw was indeed true.

This time, Kaneki Ken understood.

But he kept silent.

Li Yaoxiang: “What’s wrong? Don’t believe it?”

Yes.

Kaneki Ken chose not to believe.

Or, he does not want to believe.

A 9-year-old child doesn’t really have much idea about money. Compared to money, Kaneki Ken at this time paid more attention to relatives. Aunt is his only relative.

He did not want to think of the problem as complicated.

I just hope that there is a “familiar” person who can take care of him.

In the days to come, I can continue to live with my loved ones.

Li Yaoxiang saw Kaneki Ken’s thoughts.

There is no intention to argue with him.

Speaking of which, it is enough.

Li Yaoxiang: “Just watch…”

Shortly after.

Kaneki Ken, who originally lived in the shelter, was finally taken to live with her aunt’s house.

Just arrived at an instant, Kaneki Ken did not think too much.

Full of anticipation and excitement for this new home.

But Li Yaoxiang reminded at this time: “Huh? Doesn’t your aunt often tell your mother that their family is in a pinch? Doesn’t look like—?”

Just got out of the car, Kaneki Ken was full of excitement.

Suddenly froze.

He was short, lifts the head, looked towards the two and a half-storey house …

This home is only larger than the home where Kaneki Ken originally lived. Kaneki Ken’s home is similar to an apartment with several floors and no elevator.

The aunt ‘s house is a two-and-a-half-storey row house with a wall. In addition to the house, there is extra space for flowers and grass.

The aunt smiled back and said, “Ken, why are you stunned? Come in with your aunt.”

After a moment of panic, then he quickly hurried forward.

Enter the house.

Auntie Jinmuyan carried the luggage and passed the living room: “This is your uncle, call him uncle.”

Kaneki Ken: “Uncle.”

After the study: “This is your cousin, Yuuichi. Yuuichi, stop playing! Come and see your cousin!”

In the study, the voice of ‘beep beep, biubiubiu’ came. This is the sound of Kaneki Ken’s cousin, Yuuichi playing a game console. The cousin did not look back, eagerly said: “Wait! Wait! I will see you later!”

Yuuichi Asaoka

My aunt apologized: “He is like this, he always just cares about playing, I hope you don’t mind, Ken.”

Kaneki Ken made a “huh” sound, shake one’s head.

Then he followed his aunt.

Li Yaoxiang: “Oh, your aunt’s home is really pinch. Your cousin still has a game console to play, which is useless even for you. I don’t know if it was with the money your mother left you, Or is it that their family wasn’t very poor in the first place?”

Kaneki Ken didn’t think too much.

His face couldn’t help but sink.

He said nothing.

The low-level head silently followed his aunt and left.

Going up two consecutive stairs, and finally came to the small room with only half a floor. Like this kind of house, the roof is extremely low. Adults can almost touch the roof without raising their hands.

This was originally a utility room.

Now it has been tidied up and cleaned up and used as Kaneki Ken’s room, which does not seem too shabby.

""

After all, for children like Kaneki Ken who are required to be adopted, relevant institutions usually send people to observe a period of time. If the child has a bad life, the relevant institution has the right to recover the child’s custody.

Only after a certain period of observation will the adoption process be considered complete.

Therefore, during this period of time, my aunt treated Kaneki Ken very well.

So as to avoid what Kaneki Ken said to the outside world.

But all of this, Kaneki Ken did not know.

After entering the room, the aunt smiled softly at Kaneki Ken: “Ken, this will be your room in the future. This will be your home in the future. Please tell your aunt if you need anything.”

Hearing these words of concern.

Kaneki Ken’s original heavy mood was suddenly much better.

There was a lot of nods again, and cleverly yelled.

After the aunt leaves…

Li Yaoxiang: “What’s the matter? Do you think it doesn’t matter if your aunt uses the money your mother left you? As long as your aunt treats you well?”

Kaneki Ken did not speak.

But Li Yaoxiang did express his thoughts.

Li Yaoxiang: “If I told you that everything in front of you was just an illusion created by your aunt, would you believe it?”

At this time, Kaneki Ken finally refuted Li Yaoxiang: “No, mother is so gentle, and aunt must be as gentle as mother!”

Li Yaoxiang didn’t speak anymore.

Kaneki Ken was relieved.

That night, Kaneki Ken was summoned by her aunt, and the whole family happily ate a dinner together.

In a good period of time after that, Kaneki Ken had a happy life with a ‘home’.

Until once.

Kaneki Ken’s test scores were good. After being praised by her aunt, in order to fully integrate into the family, in order to get the aunt’s praise again, Kaneki Ken chose to study harder.

As a result, when the next grade came out, he scored perfect in every subject, but got a completely different response from his aunt.

Holding the paper, the aunt muttered to herself: “Hmph, just like the younger sister, so smart?” Immediately, she said badly: “Why? Are you mocking my family and Yuichi?”

This is why the aunt hates the younger sister.

She thinks that Kaneki Ken’s mother has learned all her ‘love’ from her parents since she was young, so she feels that Kaneki Ken’s mother owes her. It is a matter of course for Ken’s mother to help her and give her money.

Because of Kaneki Ken’s achievements, his aunt remembered bad memories again.

After this.

The aunt’s family never gave Kaneki Ken a good face.

Even the dishes for dinner have become more and more shabby.

Until the end, they didn’t want to eat on the same table, just gave him some money and let Ken solve it outside by himself.

Looking at the money in his hand, Kaneki Ken was silent.

Li Yaoxiang, who disappeared for a long time, appears again …
