After Yuqiu left, Yanzi's mother came, and the mother and daughter looked at each other speechlessly, hugged their heads and cried.

Yanzi's mother, named Luo Fang, is a hard-working woman, since her divorce from her father, she has been living in her rural hometown, and many people persuaded her to find another one and reorganize the family, and she laughed it off. For Yanzi, she has a deep sense of guilt, and has always blamed herself for not giving her a complete family. Over the years, although she has struggled to make a living, she has endured it silently. Later, Yanzi's grandmother and grandfather fell ill one after another, grandma was half paralyzed and bedridden, and grandpa had high blood pressure and diabetes to pay attention to diet from time to time, and she took care of it. The burden of life has brutally destroyed her original flower-like jade, and she is obviously much older than her peers, her hair is half-white, her back is hunched, her waist is bent, and her eyes are not much brilliance.

One day, she was scrubbing Yanzi's grandmother's body when she suddenly received a call from a strange man, who was Zeng Yuqiu. Zeng Yuqiu's name, she seems to have heard Yanzi mention it once before, and at that time she only knew that this boy seemed to be interested in her daughter, and then she disappeared. Yanzi has been stubborn and sensitive since she was a child, although she wants her to find a good family to marry and have children as soon as possible and stabilize her life, she doesn't dare to say anything.

As a divorced woman, she has been hit hard emotionally, and even she can't tell the difference between men and herself, and she is even more powerless to guide her daughter, so although she is anxious, she can only let it go. However, Yanzi has become an older young man, in her thirties, and has no intention of getting married, so she can't face it calmly anymore. Suffering from the fact that there is no good object to introduce to her daughter around her, it can be said that on the surface, she pretends to be very plain every time she talks to her daughter, but in her heart she is actually like an ant on a hot pot, and she really responds to the sentence "The emperor is not in a hurry, the eunuch is in a hurry".

Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, sometimes they will really go to the doctor in a hurry. At that time, she received a call from Yuqiu, and she hadn't heard what she was confused about, so she grabbed the phone and asked people "if they are married" and "if they have a girlfriend". It wasn't until later, when Yuqiu repeatedly told her that "Yanzi is sick and needs to be taken care of", that she seemed to understand what was going on. When she came, she also estimated that maybe Yanzi just had a bad cold or something, and at the moment of meeting, her heart couldn't help hurting again and again.

"Swallow, what's wrong with you, how can you be so haggard, how old are you. ”

"Mom, it's okay, yes, it's pneumonia, I had a cold and cough some time ago, I didn't pay much attention to it, the cough lasted for a long time, which caused inflammation in the lungs. Rest assured, it is now slowly recovering. In fact, what you don't use is all rainy and eventful, so why do you have to tell you?"

Luo Fang is a simple, simple-minded person, and when he heard Yanzi say this, he didn't doubt it anymore.

"Is that Zeng Yuqiu?Are you two in love, and listening to his voice, it's time to think about getting married?" Luo Fang stared at Yanzi's face and said tentatively.

"Mom, I know my own affairs, so you don't have to worry about it. "Yanzi is most afraid of her mother mentioning this, and she is also most afraid of mentioning Yuqiu.

"It's better to get married or our parents come forward, how can you solve it with a girl's family?"

"Mom, I said you don't have to worry about it. ”

"You kid is always so stubborn, I feel pretty good when I listen to that Zeng Yuqiu, don't miss it. Although there is no shortage of men in the world, it is rare to meet the right one, and you have to seize the opportunity. Before, you said whatever you said, but this time you have to listen to me. If you think about a boy who calls me personally to take care of you, it won't be fake to you, he really cares about you.

"How many men in the world are credible, you can see it accurately, listen to you, didn't my dad abandon us back then?" Yanzi thought of his current situation, life and death, Yuqiu knew the unbearable secret and did not say goodbye, and he had completely lost confidence, but he couldn't tell his mother directly about all this, so the shell of self-protection began to harden again, and he forgot to speak in a measured manner.

Luo Fang was speechless for a moment, covered her face and nested into the sofa in the swallow's living room, and sobbed quietly. "yes, who am I qualified to help you decide, I myself am a very failed woman. ”

Yanzi knew that she was speechless, looking at her mother's painful appearance, she was at a loss, "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." I just don't know how to explain it to you. ”

If there is anything broadest in the world, it must be the mother's tolerant mind for her children, Luo Fang immediately recovered her demeanor when she heard Yanzi's apology, "Yanzi, in fact, for so many years, I know that it is because my divorce from your father has caused you a certain psychological shadow, which has caused you to be less concerned about marriage." I want you to know that if one fruit on a tree goes bad, it doesn't necessarily mean that the whole tree is bad. Your dad failed us back then, but that doesn't mean other men will do the same. ”

"Maybe you're right, but it's true that Dad abandoned us and fell in love with another woman, isn't it? He loves me the most, and when I was a kid I thought I was a princess, and I ended up being an abandoned Cinderella. How do you make me believe in the so-called true love in this world? Love and family affection are so fragile in many cases, I can't forget the situation when we returned to my grandmother's house and was looked down upon and bullied, at that time, if my father was willing to come to see us more, I would also feel a little happy, but no. A father who kept saying that he loved his daughter quietly disappeared from my life, when I needed my father's love the most. It wasn't until I was in college that he remembered what the use of having a daughter like me was. When I need him, he's not there, I can be independent, he pops up when I don't need him, what's that? I hate him!"

This is the first time that Yanzi has revealed her true inner world to Luo Fang, it turned out that she thought Yanzi was just stubborn, but she didn't expect her to have such a heavy heart in her heart, it turned out that she didn't care about her father on the surface, but she actually cared very much in her heart.

"Swallow, not only do you hate him, but I hate him from the bottom of my heart, but, child, you can't ruin your life because you hate him. ”

"I've been ruined by him since I was a child, how can I have any life!" Swallow is full of heartache, resentment, and a strong sense of loss every time she thinks of her father. When she was a child, she couldn't understand why her father didn't come to see her, and sometimes she even blamed her own imperfection, so she studied hard and tried to excel every time, but even after scoring 100 points in the exam, her father still didn't come. By the time she was in high school, she finally understood that she was a child who was completely rejected by her father, and her deep inferiority complex often overwhelmed her.

Luo Fang was also very heartbroken when she looked at Yanzi like this, who didn't want her child to be happy every day, but she was really powerless, and she started crying again. Swallow looked at her weak mother, who was already in a bad mood and became even more irritable. In the end, in desperation, she had to confess directly to her mother:

"Mom, I also want to get married, but I guess I don't have the possibility anymore. ”

"Why is it impossible, you don't lack arms and legs, we are not ugly, and we have education. As soon as Luo Fang heard that Yanzi was willing to talk about marriage, she immediately wiped her eyes with the back of her hand and stopped crying.

"I'm sick. Yanzi really couldn't bear to tell her mother this cruel news, but she was afraid that if one day she suddenly disappeared, her mother would not even be prepared. Luo Fang is a very fragile woman, I'm afraid she can't withstand this blow.

"What?

"Lung cancer. ”

"What did you say?" Luo Fang couldn't believe her ears when she heard the word lung cancer, she couldn't imagine that this legendary deadly killer would appear in her daughter's life.

"It's lung cancer. Yanzi grabbed Luo Fang's hand and told her with certainty.

"No, my miserable child!" Luo Fang suddenly let out a terrible cry, and hugged the swallow in his arms, tears like a flood that opened the floodgates, and in a short time soaked the clothes on the swallow's shoulders.

"Mom, listen to me. I have undergone several chemotherapy treatments, and I am also taking Chinese medicine, and my body has been much better than before, and it is not as you think. There are miracles in everything. Seeing Luo Fang's strong reaction, Yanzi began to regret and comforted her.

Luo Fang still hugged the swallow tightly and didn't let go, as if the swallow would disappear as soon as her hand was released, she was terrified. Suddenly, her expression changed, and she said excitedly to Yanzi, "Yanzi, it's all my mother's fault, so that you have lived in hatred for your father for so many years, afraid to face life and marriage." Now, you have this disease, but you haven't even had a normal family life, my poor daughter. ”

"Mom, don't get excited, how can I blame you, you are also a victim, and your father is ruthless and unjust. ”

"No, I was separated from your dad back then, but in fact we agreed that he would come to see you every month, it was me, and I didn't let him come. I didn't have a good job at the time, your dad had a good income, he bought you a lot of things every time he came, and I was afraid that when you grew up, I would leave me because I couldn't afford to give you these things, and if so, I really didn't have anything. ”

"What did you say? Mom!"

"Yes, I didn't let him come to see you, I scolded him for being unkind, begged him not to appear in our lives again, I felt safe only when he was far away, and only when you hated him did I feel not alone. ”

"Mom!"

People's beliefs are a strange thing, which can invisibly support people to do many things firmly, but once the belief collapses, there may be a void left. Yanzi suddenly felt that the mother in front of her was so strange, and her hatred for so many years was caused by her deliberate actions. Her whole person seemed to be completely hollowed out, and she suddenly felt so ridiculous.
