Chapter 03: Losing Your Parents
Song Jie and Song Shiling met their parents again in the mourning hall.
Parents and friends came to pay tribute and told Song's father and Song mother and Liang's father and Liang's mother - Song Jun was beaten to the point that his spleen ruptured and hemorrhaged to death on the day when the loan shark went to his home to collect debts, and a few days ago the loan shark came to collect the debt again, Liang Yunxuan had a mental breakdown and drank pesticides in front of those people, and the rescue was ineffective, and the loan shark did not get back the money he should have, and was sentenced for illegal debt collection methods. The four elders who learned the truth instantly cried and shouted.
Song Jie sat in the corner with her knees crossed, she looked up at the two portraits in the mourning hall, the people in the portraits smiled kindly, and the gentle call to her before her death was still in her ears, she wanted to laugh, but she was very bitter.
Song Jie admits that people will experience too many sorrows, misfortunes and frustrations in their lives. She really felt that she was so pathetic that she had lost the two people she loved the most when she was only 15 years old.
"Sister, do you hate your father?" asked Song Jie.
Song Shiling replied in a deep voice while burning paper money: "Yes." ”
Song Jie understood Song Shiling's sudden personality change. When her parents died, Song Shiling cried more than her, and the loss of her parents was really too hard for the 11-year-old girl.
In the evening, Song's mother told Song Jie to take Song Shiling home first to pack up her parents' belongings, and she would come to pick them up later.
The street lights have been lit up, Song Jie took Song Shiling's little hand and walked on the way home, and the street began to set up stalls, which was particularly lively.
Song Jie was attracted by the street performances not far away, and she pulled her sister into the crowd to watch.
There were more and more people coming, and Song Shiling was squeezed into another crowd, and Song Jie didn't know how anxious and scared Song Shiling was now.
After the performance, Song Jie found that her sister was not beside her, her face changed abruptly, and she instantly panicked and rushed out of the crowd that had not dispersed for a long time.
"Song Shiling!" Song Jie shouted around, but there was no response, she panicked and grabbed the single child playing on the street and recognized it, but there was no one she wanted to find.
Song Jie's face was stained with tears, her whole body trembled, her mouth trembled and she spit out Song Shiling's name, and the pain in her heart made her unable to breathe.
Song Shiling returned to the place where she was performing at this time, and the people had dispersed. She called Song Jie's name and went to look for her sister in every crowd, and Song Jie had already run to another street to find her.
Song Shiling stopped and forced herself to calm down, telling herself to go home first and wait for her sister to come back, she turned around and rushed to the road, the piercing brake sound knocked Song Shiling away, the girl lying on the ground twitched faintly, blood flowed from her forehead and the corners of her mouth, and tears crossed from time to time.
Pedestrians screamed and shouted, and a 40-year-old man ran into the scene to stop Song Shiling's bleeding and call 120.
Song Jie came to the community, she thought that it was possible that her sister was already waiting for her at home, and took out the key to open the door, only her grandparents, not Song Shiling.
"Xiaojie, where is my sister?" asked Song's father.
is like Song Jie, who was unable to speak after being pricked in the throat by a needle, and did not dare to look at Song's father who was puzzled.
"Speak!" Father Song sensed that Song Jie was wrong, and walked towards her step by step.
"Grandpa... I'm sorry I lost my sister. His eyes were covered with a layer of moisture, and he slowly lowered his head and explained the whole story in a few minutes.
"How can you be a sister!Only care about yourself!" Song's father was angry and didn't know what to say about the child in front of him, he was dizzy for a while, and was helped by Song's mother to sit down on the sofa in time.
Song Jie stood still, Song's mother gave her a look, and Song Jie turned around and went back to the room.
......
Since Song Shiling was lost, Song Jie not only had a long nightmare, but Song's father regarded her as a transparent person.
In the middle of the night, Song Jie was awakened by a nightmare, she got up to drink water when she was thirsty, and happened to hear the conversation between Song's father and Song's mother.
"It's been so long, and there's still no news. Mother Song's shoulders trembled slightly and she cried.
Father Song shook his head helplessly, hugged Mother Song and comforted him softly.
It has been nearly three months since the case was reported, and there is still no news about Song Shiling from the police in the era when the Internet was not developed.
Song Jie walked back to the room lightly and buried her head in the quilt, "Shiling, where are you......"
The next day, the family had dinner in a depressing atmosphere. Song Jie thought that the head teacher had notified her that there would be a parent-teacher conference this Friday not long ago, and now that Song's father and Song's mother had become her guardians, she asked tentatively, "Grandpa... Our class is going to have a parent-teacher conference in a few days, can you help me have a parent-teacher conference?"
"I'm not free! Grandma is not free!" Father Song didn't raise his head and didn't hesitate.
"You old man, you don't have time to bring me in, Xiaojie, grandma is free. Mother Song exposed Father Song's lies.
Suddenly, there was a snap, and Song's father put the chopsticks on the table, "You are not allowed to open it for her! Why are you holding a parent-teacher conference for the person who lost Xiaoling!"
Song Jie immediately put down her chopsticks and got up suddenly, "Grandpa, do you only have Song Shiling's granddaughter! She has been forbearing, and today she vented to Song's father.
Father Song snorted, and hated Song Jie again, "As a descendant of the Song family, what kind of Song family is it to lose my sister, your grandmother and grandparents and I go out to find Xiaoling every day, but what about you? ”
The scene became uncontrollable, Song's father's curse sounded, and Song's mother sighed, "Hey, why did you old man say such ugly things to Xiaojie, because you are still a teacher." ”
"I don't care so much! Xiaoling hasn't been found for a day, so she doesn't want me to treat her well for a day! Heh, there is something to ask me, why doesn't she find someone outside to go to the parent-teacher conference as her parents!"
Song Jie turned her face and pursed her lips, Father Song's words were heartbroken, she was powerless to defend herself, her eyes suddenly turned red, and tears flowed unstoppably in the next second, "Don't regret every word you said today!"
Song Jie, who was leaving the words, walked to the door, but her back became thin and lonely at this time.
Mother Song shouted to Song Jie to stop in panic, and Song Jie had already walked out of the house.
"If you dare to chase it out and try it, don't enter this house! See what she can do!" Song's father's warning, his throat choked unconsciously. At that moment, Song's mother sat slumped in the chair, tears rolling down. She hated her cowardice, hated her for being restricted by this man all her life, and lost her two granddaughters at once, making Song's mother quarrel with Song's father regardless of her image.
Until the evening, Song Jie did not come back.
Song Jie, who lost her mind, walked on the street, swaying left and right by a hurried pedestrian, she couldn't hear the apologies of the pedestrians, and her mind was full of Song Shiling shouting at her and the vicious Song father.
Hungry, she took out the money in her trouser pocket, and she could eat a bowl of beef noodles. After thinking about it, her recklessness made her have no face to return to her grandparents' house, but more importantly, she was fed up with Song's father's targeting everywhere, and her grandparents' family was also excluded, and she was afraid that her grandparents' attitude would be the same as Song's father's, which would make her suppressed.
Song Jie really had no home, she laughed sadly, and immediately went to a nearby convenience store to buy a bucket of instant noodles and eat it on the steps outside the door of a bar.
The rain fell intermittently all night, Song Jie fell asleep leaning on the bar billboard, when the day was about to dawn, someone pushed her hard, she opened her eyes suddenly, and when she saw that it was the bar owner, Song Jie bent her legs and wrapped her arms around her, looking at the man full of art in front of her vigilantly.
In the hospital, the middle-aged man who saved Song Shiling stood outside the intensive care room, looking through the window at Song Shiling, whose head was wrapped in gauze, wearing an oxygen mask, with a pale face and a weak breath.
"Yang Jingjing's family, Dr. Wang told you to go to his office. The nurse shouted.
