Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1082 - 1078: For Your Own Good

Dou Dou quietly wriggled her bottom.

The oppressive atmosphere made her extremely uncomfortable, even if this was just in someone else’s dream.

Finally, the young woman couldn’t hold back anymore, put down the sweater in her hands, "Why aren’t you going to school? What are you standing here for?"

Little Jiakang didn’t speak, just stubbornly stood there.

"You feel wronged? You little debt collector, I’m the one who owes you? You just know how to ask for money every day. Your dad is just as useless, can’t earn much all year round, yet smokes and drinks without fail. Having you and your father is really my bad luck..."

The young woman cursed and swore, but ultimately took out five yuan and handed it to Jiakang.

"Hurry up and get out of here. If you’re late, watch your skin."

Little Jiakang quickly took the money and then ran towards the door.

The previously thick air dissipated at this moment, and Dou Dou subconsciously took a deep breath of relief.

At this time, the middle-aged woman beside her said, "I shouldn’t have given it back then, it wouldn’t have developed his habit of spending money lavishly."

Just then, the surrounding scenery changed again.

This time, little Jiakang became big Jiakang, and the young woman became more like the middle-aged woman.

The surroundings also changed from their home to a private room in a restaurant.

There were about a dozen people in the private room, but apart from Jiakang and the young woman having specific appearances, the others’ features were very blurry.

From the conversation, it was clear these people were likely all relatives.

"Jiakang has accomplished something, he’s gotten into a 211 university. Yue Er, you all are blessed."

Yue Er should be the name of Jiakang’s mother.

Sure enough, the young woman scoffed, "I’ll be blessed if he doesn’t come back asking me for money, I’d really burn incense and pray, doesn’t listen to a word I say. If he had listened, it wouldn’t just be a 211, but a 985, and he even went to another province, the tuition and living expenses every month are a huge amount..."

"Yue Er, you shouldn’t talk like that. The communication major Jiakang is in has good prospects."

"Communication? Doing what, becoming a postman or installing phones and erecting utility poles? Everyone uses cell phones now, what future does it have? It would’ve been better if he’d taken my advice to go to a teacher training or medical program..."

"Yue Er, you’re just old-fashioned, you don’t understand."

"I don’t understand? If I didn’t force him to study, Jiakang getting into a 211 would be impossible. Otherwise, he’d just be working in a factory or become a loafer, eating and waiting for death..."

...

Jiakang just stared blankly at his mother, remaining silent as the surrounding scenery continued to change.

"Why did you resign from a good job? Everyone else can do it, but not you? I think you’re just lazy."

"You can’t even handle such a small thing, what else could you possibly achieve? Why did I have such a useless child?"

"People your age have already bought houses and cars, but you? Changing jobs one after another, accomplishing nothing."

"With your personality, who would welcome you anywhere? Who would still dare to hire you in the future?"

"I told you long ago you’re not cut out for this, but you wouldn’t believe me. Now you’ve hit a dead end, serves you right."

...

"You ungrateful brat, still dare talk back to me? I raised you for nothing. I’m your mother, how could I possibly harm you? Everything I do is for your own good."

"My whole life, I’ve spent so much energy and money on you, and this is your attitude when you talk to me?"

"How much have I given up for you? Is this how you repay me?"

"This little beast, dare to talk back when I scold you, ungrateful brat, I won’t live anymore. I’m your mom, I raised you for nothing, I should’ve strangled you at birth."

...

"Look at Xiao Zhang, so sensible, knows how to earn money and be filial. If you were half as good as him, I’d really light incense as thanks."

"With your demeanor, who wouldn’t despise you? I’m embarrassed for you."

"I shouldn’t have let you study so much back then, all the studying made you more disobedient. The knowledge might as well have gone to dogs."

...

"If you keep talking back to me like this, I’ll die right in front of you, never letting you be at peace for life."

"I don’t care about you anymore, do whatever you want in the future, starve or freeze, it’s none of my business."

"Are you trying to anger me to death? I’m telling you, if you drive me to any mishap, you’ll never have a good day in your life."

...

Countless words buzzed around everyone’s ears like a storm.

Xiao Yue was stunned, feeling these words were even more powerful than her Confucian Truth.

Dou Dou felt her head pounding, wanting to cover her ears from hearing, but this was in a dream, covering her ears was useless, it was just noise pollution.

Only the middle-aged woman appeared to be righteously confident.

"Was I wrong to say these things about him? I was doing it all for his own good."

"He’s truly an ungrateful brat, not remembering any of the good I’ve done for him, only those things. As a grown man, he doesn’t have an ounce of tolerance."

"I’ve raised him this big, what’s wrong with saying a few things? Do I have to die before he remembers it?"

...

"Can you please shut up, you’re really annoying like this." Xiao Yue said somewhat impatiently.

"Little Immortal, you shouldn’t say that. I was doing it all for his own good, you must help me, you promised..."

She first directed this at Xiao Yue but then turned to look at Dou Dou.

Clearly, in her mind, Dou Dou was more easily swayed.

Dou Dou just blinked blankly, not knowing what she intended.

Xiao Yue didn’t care about these things, she waved her hand, and the surrounding scenery swiftly receded, all the noises vanished.

They were back at the barbecue stand, back to the moment Jiakang turned his head.

"Mom?"

Jiakang stood up, his friends who were joking around turning into puppet-like figures.

"Jiakang."

The middle-aged woman reached out to hold her son’s arm, a picture of motherly love. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

At this moment, Jiakang suddenly said, "Such bad luck, you’re already dead, and I’m still dreaming of you."

The middle-aged woman was dumbfounded at his words, clearly not expecting her son to say that.

When they argued before, Jiakang would either stay silent or loudly retort, but had never spoken so directly about being unlucky like this.

"Jiakang, how could you say such things? I’m your mother."

"That’s right, so I’m really unlucky to have you as my mother."

"Jiakang, you ungrateful wretch, I raised you for nothing, how could you say such things? Are you not ashamed? Everything I did was for your own good."

"For my own good?" Jiakang started to laugh, though the smile was somewhat chilling.

"I’m begging you, can you not be so good to me? You’re driving me insane. When you died, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, please don’t come into my dreams again..." Jiakang mocked.

The middle-aged woman was furious, and began to lash out at her son.

Xiao Yue quietly pulled Dou Dou a little further away to avoid being caught in the fray.
