Chapter 214: I'm Back
Separation is always caught off guard. It's like an encounter. We don't know what kind of life we will meet in the next second, and we don't know what kind of life we will be separated from in the next second. There is a lot of randomness in life, but people often don't realize this, and always think that they will be together forever after they meet, but who knows how far away forever is?
The old man stood in front of the old lady and saw her white hair standing in the air, gently swaying like tentacles with the faint air current. He remembered the scene when he was playing chess downstairs during the day, the old Wang Tou regretted another move, and the old Li Tou next to him was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him that it was not worth it, but he only smiled, and let an insider and an outsider argue there, swearing that they would not share each other's heavens.
He doesn't care if he wins or loses. He didn't like to go back to that home, which was very cold. However, he didn't know when the cold began. Especially after his daughter's accident, he was even more reluctant to go home, and neither of the two women could persuade him. The contradictions between women seem to be irreconcilable at the moment of opening up the world. Whether it is a mother and daughter or a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and he is tired of coping with these trivialities. But these trivialities were the days that ---- the most important women in his life. As one of the few men in the family, he was required to treat and evaluate their conflicts fairly, and the devil knew that he had no criteria for judging and did not bother to judge, he only hoped that one of them would recognize the general initiative to silence, and he felt that the reasons for their quarrels and disputes were very naïve and stupid, but what he did not know was that in the eyes of these women, his attempts to stay out of the matter and deliberately calm seemed to make him look 120,000 hateful. It was difficult to please both ends, and gradually, he learned to escape. Especially after his daughter had an accident, he also wanted to protect his daughter, and even took the initiative to find the so-called bastard boy, and he also used a lot of relationships, and in the end, things finally came to light.
Even many years later, he still didn't know if he had done the right thing, whether he should have told his daughter and wife the truth earlier, maybe if he told them the truth, one would not be so decadent and sad, and the other would not be unrelenting in humiliating and abusing his daughter. However, it is not without the danger that the truth will be revealed. For example, the daughter may not even go to school, and then go all over the world to find the boy.
He was very entangled, and his home was filled with gunsmoke all day long. At first, he was reluctant to go home, and he deliberately stayed outside, at first to watch others play chess, he couldn't help but want to give someone a trick, and then he began to play on his own. He didn't want to go home until dark, and when he got home, his wife couldn't help but cry to him, he was so afraid of the woman's tears, and the most important thing was that he didn't know how to rescue the woman from the tears. He didn't know. They are always crying and complaining, and it doesn't seem right for you to do anything. Life is too tiring, he marries a wife not a doll, he can't do it to please women every moment, he can't make her happy every moment, he can't make her always satisfied. This made him helpless and at the same time had a deep sense of guilt.
He turned out to be so useless. He began to doubt himself. Everyone needs to be recognized, women need it, and men need it too. Women need to be recognized by men, and men need to be recognized by women. Women need to be looked up to by the mountains, and men need it too. In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, desire is the lowest need, and then it should be needed and respected, and finally self-realization. It is obviously too cheap for an adult to stay only in the enjoyment of low-level desires, but not everyone wants to reach the pinnacle in their own life, and to really realize what self is. Therefore, being needed and respected has become a huge black hole in almost every heart, and it needs to be filled.
Women cry, women complain, why don't men want to listen? Because that means you're accusing him of incompetence. He doesn't have the power to help you out of the current situation, which proves that he is incompetent, and through the tears and complaints of women, he sees his own incompetence. No man wants to admit that he is incompetent.
This is the root cause why most men try to escape from married life.
What's more, her daughter's silent sadness and grievances made him feel powerless.
Of course, he can't lose his temper, and if he does, then he will not only be incompetent, but will also be labeled shameless.
Life is very difficult and hard, and life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten, but it is no match for anyone else. Emptiness, loneliness, and coldness are not the preserve of women, and neither are men. Later, he wandered out for a long time, and then his daughter went out to college, and there was no news for a year, he missed his daughter, and at the same time understood her. His wife's temper became more bizarre, and the two of them stopped talking for almost a long time, and he spent more time away. He knew it would lead to an endless vicious cycle for his life and his home, but what could be done?
There is nothing he can do, and when people really feel that they are powerless, they have to run away. He knew how much his wife resented him, however, it was not his fault alone, women never tried to really know and understand men, in his mind, in the end, he even thought that women were all vain and hypocritical and shallow lowly creatures, they tend to only care about their own feelings, only focus on their own needs, they tend to take it for granted that they are the center of the world, they just want to see men around them like pugs, drooling or being courteous, they are always so selfish. They don't want to know their true selves, their real world, and they don't want to know real men. They always have all kinds of needs, and they always feel that they only need to do a little thing to give their all. They tend to exaggerate their grief and dedication in order to make men feel indebted...... In the end, he hated his wife.
It was his wife who buried a home, and it was that woman who made him lose his daughter.
He hated her so much, but he couldn't say that. A woman's hatred is in her mouth, and a man's hatred is in her heart, which can be engraved into her blood. Women always want to avenge themselves in front of them, but men don't, men are good at long-term torture.
And now, the woman is dead, holding her phone in one hand and nitroglycerin in the other, and her eyes are fixed for a long time at the family photo hanging on the opposite wall. He should be happy, he should be happy, he should be happy. He should call Chen Mofei as soon as possible and tell her the good news: Your mother has finally left, and you can go home. Daddy misses you.
The man laughed, and he reached out to put his wife down, and then wiped her eyes shut. She was not able to see her daughter again until she was dying, which made the woman die blindly. Maybe she doesn't deserve to see her own daughter again, these are fate, cause and effect, retribution, she is to blame, and she can't blame others, isn't it?
However, his hand stopped in mid-air, and the old man leaned and fell to the ground, his vision began to blur, his consciousness began to drift away, and everything in front of him became unreal. In this life, he thought, how could he let him die at this time? How many years he had waited and looked forward to this kind of free life, this was not fair.
But fairness, how can there be real fairness in this world?
He saw fate baring its fangs at him, tearing at him. He slowly closed his eyes.
Maybe someone can see another world, in another world, the woman is smiling and waiting for the man, the woman stretches out her hand to the man, the man looks at the woman suspiciously, and then turns his head to look at himself who is lying on the floor with his body lying on the floor at the moment, the woman smiles and says to the man: I have been waiting for you for a day, and you are still here.
Some things are fate.
When Chen Mofei received the call, it was already the third day after the death of her parents, and her relatives contacted her and did not say that something happened at home, only that there was an accident at home, and asked her to come back first anyway, she thought that something big must have happened at home, otherwise the call would not have been given to her by relatives. However, at that time, she thought that there might be something wrong with her parents' health, and they were old after all. And she finally became a mother. She began to learn to understand, but the people who needed to be understood didn't want to wait any longer.
At that time, Chen Mofei didn't know what he would face after returning to his hometown.
Before returning to her hometown, she called the person who reported the whereabouts of her son, saying that you wait for me for a week, and I am in a bit of a hurry to rush back. The man said you can wait for me for another day, and it will be okay for a day. Chen Mofei was silent on the phone, and then she said no, I am really in a hurry, he is really my son, and he will not be these days anymore. I will be back. She concluded. She bought her ticket online and went straight to the airport.
The man on the other end of the phone was furious, and the boiled duck flew. He was a little unwilling, a woman revealed Chen Mofei's information to him before, saying that this woman had just lost her child, and you can sell her for a good price if you take her to a remote place.
But it all came to naught.
Hometown, how long has it been since you returned to your hometown?
The moment she got off the plane, the familiar breath came to her face, and she knew that after so many years, she actually stopped missing her hometown all the time.
Hometown, I'm back.
Chen Mofei said silently in her heart, there were still so many troubles in another city that she didn't want to face. The husband who doesn't say goodbye and seems to be gone and never returns, the son whose whereabouts are unknown, and the property that has a dispute.
She shook her head, dragged her luggage out of the airport, and then took a taxi straight to the old house. In the taxi she called the relative and said I was back and on my way.
The other party was silent for a few seconds and told Chen Mofei to go home first.
"My parents are ...... health"
She asked tentatively, and her hand involuntarily touched the bank card, which she had originally used to find her son. However, if necessary, she will take it out for her parents.
She looked out the window.
