Chapter 107: Aphasia and Amnesia
My mom said while looking at my dad who was lying on the bed asleep, and the tears kept falling back and forth, it seems that her feelings for my dad are really deep.
"The money is given to you, it is yours, and you have supported me for more than 20 years, and I can't take care of you by my side, so I should give some living expenses. "I'm not trying to buy off our blood relationship with money right now, I just want them to live out their old age in peace, that's all.
"Xiaowei, this girl is really not human, look at what your father has become now. My mom looked at my dad and whimpered, "It's been a day and a night and I haven't woken up, and if he just leaves, then I won't be alive." ”
I've lived for more than 20 years, and I've never seen my mom cry like this, and even when my grandfather died, she only cried a few times at the funeral, and wiped away her tears like nothing happened.
But now she is crying like a tearful person, I can't help but have a sour nose and hot eyes, and I almost wiped my tears with her, and persuaded her for a while before she stopped her tears, took my hand and continued to tell me about the little thing between Meng Shuwei and my father.
Yesterday morning, Meng Shuwei went to ask her parents for money, but her father smashed her with a teacup, and immediately she didn't know where she got so angry, so she actually picked up her arm and started a fight with my father.
Although Meng Shuwei is just a woman, she grew up in the countryside since she was a child, and her strength is much greater than mine, otherwise I would not have been beaten by her again and again, and I wouldn't even have the strength to fight back.
My dad looks like a big man, but after all, he is a little older, and in the end he was stunned by Meng Shuwei, my mother persuaded her to fight on the side, but she had to take a few beatings, and I don't know who beat him.
Later, she finally persuaded the two of them, Meng Shuwei walked out with her bag, and scolded my parents for being selfish and selfish, and ruthlessly threw her in the countryside to fend for herself, living a hard life under the fence.
He also said that they were partial, they were so good to me since I was a child, and they treated her like an outsider, and they didn't even want to take her into the city to play during the winter and summer vacations, preferring to let her suffer in the countryside.
I remember this incident very clearly, it was my grandparents and uncle who did not agree to let her spend the summer vacation in the city, because the summer vacation coincided with a double robbery, and they wanted to leave Meng Shuwei to help in the countryside.
Originally, she made my dad unhappy, and when she left, she kept chirping crookedly, her mouth was very good at speaking, and her tongue was three points more poisonous than Zhou Lijuan.
My dad couldn't listen to it anymore, so he chased her out and scolded her sharply, the two quarreled in the corridor, my mother went over to push Meng Shuwei away, my dad scolded her and wanted to fight when she raised her hand, but one accidentally fell directly down the stairs, and finally became like this.
When I said this, my mother said a little vague and secretive, I guess the truth of the matter is not so simple, my dad may not have accidentally fallen down, but was pushed down by Meng Shuwei.
At that time, Meng Shuwei was also stunned, and immediately sent my father to the hospital, and accompanied my mother to wait outside the emergency room for a long time, if she hadn't been there, my mother might have called me yesterday, she was afraid that the two of us would be embarrassed to meet.
I think Meng Shuwei must be crazy, how can she do something to my father? He was like that to me at the time, I just quarreled a few words, and I didn't even touch a finger of him.
After coming out of the emergency room, the doctor said that my dad was not in danger of life, but his condition was not good, and he needed to continue the examination, and my mom knew that I was going to work yesterday, so she didn't call and didn't notify me until this morning.
My dad had been asleep since yesterday morning and still hadn't woken up, so I couldn't help but get anxious, and after my mom explained to me about yesterday, I went to the doctor.
I learned from the doctor that my dad fell down the stairs and there was nothing serious, but there were some abrasions on his body, plus an arm fracture, but my dad was old after all, and I was afraid that he didn't notice anything before he was sick, causing him to fall unconscious.
They did a series of tests on him yesterday afternoon, some of the results came out, some of them are still being evaluated, and the final results will not be known until all the inspection reports come out.
Meng Shuwei came in the afternoon, and saw that I still had a stinky face that I owed her two hundred and five and didn't pay back, I really wanted to give her a few big mouths, did she dare to do this to her elderly father?
I didn't do anything to Meng Shuwei in front of my mother, because I knew that my mother was uncomfortable, and she was already guilty of Meng Shuwei, and now Meng Shuwei and my father have become like this, and it is difficult for her to be a person in the middle.
So I pulled Meng Shuwei out, far away from the ward, and asked her sharply, "Tell me honestly, did you push Dad down yesterday?"
Meng Shuwei had no remorse, and actually said confidently: "What's the matter? Not only did he push him down, but I also did it on purpose, he didn't die because he didn't die, this old immortal thing!"
I was almost by her, "Do you know that this is deliberately hurting people, and you will be held legally responsible, do you want to stay in prison for the rest of your life?"
Meng Shuwei snorted disdainfully, "If you have the ability, you will sue me? You will be the one who opens the law at every turn, and you are the one who opened the court? You really have this ability, why didn't you call the police when you were locked up by them, but instead looked for Jin Yebai to save you?"
"Meng Shuwei, how did you become like this?" She wasn't a good person before, but at best she was just a slut, but now she looks like she is broken and broken, as if she is Liu Weiqiang's second.
Jin Yebai's worries are not wrong at all, Meng Shuwei and Liu Weiqiang will be ruined by him sooner or later, how long has it been, more than half a year, and she has become almost unrecognizable to me, my own sister.
"Why did I become like this?" Meng Shuwei laughed out loud as if she was crazy, "Is it still necessary for me to say that? Wasn't it all forced by you? Do you know what I went through before I went home from college?"
There was a deep look of pain in her eyes, and I looked a little frightened, and I really didn't know much about her past, because she never told us anything when she came home, and I never asked her.
"You can do anything to me, I don't care if you want to rob my man or pit my money. I really hated to look at her, "No matter what, you can't do this to your parents?
"Shu Menglu, don't cry here for a mouse, if it really doesn't matter, why don't you give me your money? You want to give me the money directly, will I go to them to ask for it?" she said as if I owed her, with a straight face.
"What do you want money for? Is it really Zhou Yujiao's illness? If I can give it to you, but if you use this money to raise Liu Weiqiang's bastard, then you don't even dream of getting a penny from me!"
Meng Shuwei said forcefully, "I'll just raise him, what can you do to me? Are you going to tell Zhou Mingchuan? Are you going to divorce us? Then you go, I'll wait!"
She deliberately raised her voice very high, so that people who occasionally showed it looked curiously here, and I really couldn't find a common language with her, and I didn't bother to quarrel with her, so I sighed and wanted to go back to the ward.
"Hey, don't go, you haven't given me any money yet. "Meng Shuwei grabbed my clothes and didn't let me go.
I shook her off fiercely, gritted my teeth and threw her a sentence, "Even if I throw the money in the toilet and flush it, I won't give you a penny!"
I was a sick cat if the tiger didn't make a threat, and I wasn't her ATM, so why should I give her money to raise a bastard? I walked briskly to the hospital room and let her scream and scold me behind me.
My mom was tired after tossing and turning for so long, and when I returned to the ward, she was lying on the edge of the bed asleep, but my dad actually woke up, stared at the ceiling with wide eyes, and didn't react when he saw me enter.
I thought he might still be angry with me and didn't want to deal with me, so I took a deep breath and asked him with a smile, "Dad, are you awake, do you feel better?"
His eyes were empty and unfamiliar, he looked blankly, didn't say a word, I couldn't help but be a little scared, and asked cautiously: "Dad, are you hungry, why don't I go get you something to eat?"
Although my voice was deliberately lowered, it still woke my mom up, and when she got up and saw my dad wake up, she immediately cried and laughed, but my dad's expression did not change.
According to my father's violent temper, the first thing he woke up should be to scold Meng Shuwei for having no conscience, how could he lie on the bed so quietly without even saying a word?
There's definitely something wrong with that!
I greeted my mom and asked him to take care of my dad, and I hurriedly went out to the doctor, and my heart was beating up and down without any regularity.
The doctor soon came to check on my dad, and my mother saw that my dad was almost unable to stand still, so she helped me not to fall, looking strange and pitiful, how could I still be so ruthless as I was forced to divorce at that time.
Looking at them, I always think of the past, it seems that even if I let go of some things, I can't forget them, and people's memories are so strange and ungraspable.
There are some things that you try so hard to remember, but accidentally they are dried by time and sink into the long river of years, such as those most carefree childlike times;
There are some things that you desperately want to forget, but it sticks to you like a slug, and you can't shake it off, such as those days of struggle with the best and the best last year.
The examination in the hospital was very fast, but the results were still very worrying, and the doctor did not tell me the results until the evening, so I could not rest assured that my mother would stay and take care of me, so I called Lu Zhenting to ask for leave, and I would not be able to go to this shift tomorrow.
When Lu Zhenting heard about my father's situation, he suggested that I let my father transfer to the hospital tomorrow and transfer him to a big hospital on the island to have a look, at least the medical equipment is much better, and the medical staff are more authoritative.
Naturally, I wanted my dad to recover as soon as possible, and after thinking about it, I thought that his advice was not bad, and then I went to the doctor and told them about it.
They refused, and I didn't have so much leisure to talk to them, so I told them that I would be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and then go to the hospital on the island.
I am no longer as hesitant and procrastinating as before, I even chose a place, and went to the place where Song Qingya worked, because it was really good.
My dad didn't sleep or speak when he woke up, he just stared at the ceiling with his eyes wide open, his eyes blank like a child, and my mom chattered on the side.
I didn't go back in the evening, I stayed with my mom and dad in the hospital, and the next morning as soon as I went to work in the hospital, I went to go through the discharge procedures, and then called a car to go straight to the hospital.
Except for the comminuted fracture of his right hand, my dad has no problem with the abrasions on his body, he can walk by himself, and he walks around by himself as soon as he gets out of the car, I can't even pull it, and there is only one thought in my head-
My dad must have broken his brain and become a fool!
My mother and I took my dad for a check-up, and as I walked, I asked my mom, "Mom, do you think my dad has a brain problem?" You see that he doesn't know anyone now, he doesn't even know anyone, and he can't even speak. ”
My mother glared at me and said dissatisfiedly: "Meng Lu, don't scare me, if he is stupid, then how can I live, you don't curse him." ”
"I also wish I was just talking nonsense. I sighed to myself, afraid that I was in the same word.
After the examination, I went through the hospitalization procedures, my dad was very honest at this time, seeing that he was fine, I took the time to go to the company after I was busy.
I went back to the hospital during the lunch break, and brought lunch to them by the way, but Lu Zhenting drove me over.
When I was in the company, because I was a little busy, he just casually asked about my dad's situation, and I didn't say much, only told him that he was still checking the results, and now that he was driving, he asked my dad's question again.
I told him my thoughts honestly, "I don't think my dad has any other problems, but his brain is in water, and now he has become a fool, he doesn't know what to do, he has amnesia and speech, and he is crazy." ”
"Wouldn't it?" Lu Zhenting looked at me in disbelief, "How old is your dad this year?"
"Just over sixty last year. I looked at him strangely, does it have anything to do with age when I become a fool?
Lu Zhenting thought about it and said with some hesitation: "Meng Lu, your father shouldn't have Alzheimer's disease, right?"
Alzheimer's disease?
What's that?
I seem to have only heard of Alzheimer's disease, which is much more terrifying than it sounds, and it is much harder to take care of such an elderly person than to take care of a baby.
Lu Zhenting saw my doubts and explained to me, "The scientific name is Alzheimer's disease, and those who develop before the age of 65 are called Alzheimer's disease, and those who develop after the age of 65 are called senile dementia. ”
No wonder Lu Zhenting would ask my father's age, it turned out to be like this, but how did he know so clearly that he could even say professional terms?
"That's what my grandfather had, and my parents were taking care of him, sighing every day, for fear that one day I would become like that. Lu Zhenting continued to explain, "It is precisely because of this that I can't leave them to find Sisi." ”
Speaking of Li Sisi, he sighed silently, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, "Everyone will grow old one day, and as sons of man, we can't only think about ourselves." ”
The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the child wants to raise but does not wait, which is also a tragedy, Lu Zhenting and Li Sisi have the same idea in the choice of relatives and lovers.
Thinking that I almost fell out with my family for Zhou Mingchuan, I was a little embarrassed, and I was embarrassed to say anything later, so I sat aside and reflected.
After arriving at the hospital, my mother took the food and patiently fed it to my father, told me to go to the doctor's office, said that the test results were out, and asked me to go over and have a look.
Lu Zhenting accompanied me to the doctor and confirmed that my dad was suffering from Alzheimer's disease, which is often referred to as Alzheimer's disease, and the situation was still very serious.
Not only does he have memory impairment, but he also temporarily loses his ability to speak, and he can no longer take care of himself, so he must be taken care of by someone's side.
Now it's okay, the old man who is short-tempered, scolds when he is small, and beats when he is big has become an old child who doesn't know anyone, can't speak, and has a demented expression that is more ignorant than a baby.
When I returned to the ward, my mother had just finished feeding my dad, and she hadn't eaten yet, she asked me eagerly about the situation, I smiled and said it was okay, let her eat first, otherwise once I told the results, where would she be able to eat.
But paper can't contain the fire, and I can't keep hiding it from my mother, seeing that she started to eat, I used the excuse of sending Lu Zhenting out, and I couldn't help crying as soon as I walked out of the ward door.
What kind of sin did my parents create, it was not enough to give birth to a debt collector like Meng Shuwei, if she hadn't pushed my dad down the stairs like a nerve this time, how could he have this disease?
Lu Zhenting gently hugged me and gently persuaded me, "Things have happened, you have to be strong to face them, crying can't solve any problems." ”
At this moment, I didn't care about anything else, leaned into his arms and whimpered, "Why did so many misfortunes happen to me? This is so unfair!"
Lu Zhenting gently patted me on the back and comforted, "Justice is at ease in people's hearts, and fairness also has personal standards, so you better look at it." ”
I cried for a while and got out of his arms and looked at him gratefully, "Thank you for lending me a chest." ”
"You're welcome. He smiled gently, "You go to accompany your mother, tell her well, be tactful, don't let her be too stimulated, I'll go back to the company first, remember to call me if you have something." ”
"Thank you. I wiped away my tears, said goodbye and went to the bathroom, ready to wash this crying face, and Lu Zhenting left by himself.
I washed my face and went back to the ward, and as soon as I opened the door, I saw my dad smirking, how could there be half a point of majesty in the past, and the tears that I had just held back almost poured out again.
My mother was still eating with her head down, and when she saw me coming in, she looked up and asked, "The young man is gone?"
"Well, let's go. I nodded and sat down next to her.
"I think he's pretty nice to you, is there any possibility?" said my mom as she packed the leftovers and threw them into the garbage basket, getting up to pour water.
