Different people will have many different stress reactions when facing strong external stimuli, for example, some people are strong inside, so they choose to face and solve this matter on their own.

But there are also some people whose hearts are very fragile and can't stand such stimulation at all, but the stimulation has already appeared in front of them, so what should they do?

But this kind of fragile people, the way to escape is also completely different, the vast majority of people escape the way is to leave their sad place, out of sight and out of mind, to a new place to start over, this is still within the normal category, will not affect their normal life too much.

But there are some people who will choose a more radical way to face the stimulus, such as people like Zhong Lingxiu, who directly choose to close themselves off to escape all this.

So it became Zhong Lingxiu's current appearance, she locked herself up, completely did not communicate with the outside world, afraid that the outside world would cause her secondary harm. So now she can only maintain the IQ and character of a small child, and it is completely impossible for her to grow up.

But just now, when Wan Zilin talked about her grandfather's matter, Zhong Lingxiu had a reaction that was not big but not small, which made Wan Zilin ecstatic. Because the doctor also introduced to her before, if you want your mother to return to normal quickly, you have to find something that can stimulate her to talk about.

It's like the so-called fighting poison with poison, you can only stimulate her current state over and over again, how can she possibly return to normal. But since Wan Zilin knew about this, she has been constantly trying to stimulate Zhong Lingxiu, but none of them have worked.

Until today, Zhong Lingxiu finally responded to what Wan Zilin said, how could this not make Wan Zilin ecstatic? But Zhong Lingxiu moved slightly, and then still maintained the same state of dementia.

"It's okay, it's okay, take your time outside, it'll always get better. ”

Wan Zilin didn't know whether she was comforting herself or Zhong Lingxiu, she kept persuading herself not to be too excited, and to take it slowly step by step.

"Mom, do you know, I didn't actually spend too much time with my grandfather, when he appeared in front of me, I didn't even know that he was my grandfather, until he was killed later, I didn't know that he was my grandfather. ”

"I was almost considered a murderer, but fortunately, they found out that Mr. Zhong Zhiyu was my grandfather. But I'm still sorry, Mom, I could have been with him longer, but now I can only see him for the last time. ”

Wan Zilin continued to talk about her grandfather, when it came to emotion, her eyes were still sour, even if she had no feelings, she was still a loved one connected by blood after all.

"What did you just say?"

Wan Zilin's ears suddenly heard a hoarse and old voice, like a person who hadn't spoken for a long time, and his voice was already rusty. In this room, except for Wan Zilin, there is only Zhong Lingxiu alone.

Wan Zilin hadn't recovered from her grief yet, when she heard such an exciting voice, and in an instant, she was stunned, raised her head and looked at Zhong Lingxiu in front of her, feeling that she had entered a fantasy world.

"Mom, you...... How are you?"

Wan Zilin was stunned by the scene in front of her, almost speechless, Zhong Lingxiu in front of her seemed to be a different person, not at all the dull and godless appearance she was familiar with, but changed back to the normal mother she was before.

"Alas, all these years, I have suffered you Linlin. ”

The way Zhong Lingxiu spoke was not at all like she had been crazy for a long time, Wan Zilin's heart was already very respectful, she felt that her adrenal hormone might be a little too high, she looked forward to the stars and the moon and wanted Zhong Lingxiu to return to normal, but such a day was too exciting.

"What the hell is going on, Mom, when did you get back to normal? You hit me, am I dreaming, Mom. ”

Wan Zilin hurriedly grabbed Zhong Lingxiu's hand, for fear that all this was an illusion she saw, and she was also afraid that the crazy Zhong Lingxiu from before would come back and replace her normal mother.

Zhong Lingxiu hugged Wan Zilin in her arms and patted her comfortingly, she has seen everything about her stupid child for so many years, and knows that she has suffered a lot, but she can't stand up to help her share it, fortunately, Wan Zilin is kind and favored by God, and in the end, she is bitter.

"Look at you, you're all going to be a mother, and it's still so easy to cry, come and wipe away your tears, and then I'll tell you slowly what's going on. ”

When Wan Zilin was held in Zhong Lingxiu's arms, she felt that all this was real, and perhaps it was God's mercy that allowed their mother and daughter to meet again at this time.

"Linlin, what I'm going to say next is very important, you must listen carefully, and you shouldn't be too excited, because these things may be very exciting things for you. ”

Wan Zilin didn't know what Zhong Lingxiu was going to say to her at all, obviously she should have gone to the doctor at this time, and then identified that Zhong Lingxiu had returned to normal, and then took Zhong Lingxiu home with her.

But she was worried that Zhong Lingxiu would become the same as before in just one turn, so she could only continue to listen to Zhong Lingxiu talk to her about some so-called important things.

"I'm listening, Mom, you can say it. ”

Zhong Lingxiu glanced at her youngest daughter, in fact, Wan Zilin is very similar to her when she was young, but Wan Zilin is braver than her, if she was facing her own situation back then, it may be a different situation today.

"I've never been crazy, I've always been a normal person. I was very conscious the whole time. ”

When Zhong Lingxiu finished saying this, Wan Zilin's heart had already begun to mumble, because after all, it was difficult for her to judge whether Zhong Lingxiu was awake or not.

"Mom, you wait first, I'll call the doctor to come and take a look at you, can you wait for me here?"

Wan Zilin gradually calmed down from her previous ecstasy, she thought that it might be better to find an authoritative doctor to come and take a look, what if this was another case of her mother's illness?

"No, don't go yet, listen to me first, you're thinking about whether what I'm talking about is really sick. ”

Zhong Lingxiu still knew very well what her daughter was thinking, and Wan Zilin couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when her thoughts were directly debunked.

"Listen to me, there's a reason why I've been pretending to be crazy and stupid for so many years. ”

"You know that before I divorced your father, I broke up with your grandfather's family, maybe the reason for the break you know is because I have to marry your father, but your grandfather doesn't agree, right? ”

"In fact, this is not the case, how can you be a daughter's family, it is so easy to break with your own family, no matter how bad it is, you have to find a way to make your family accept your father. I found out some of your grandfather's secrets. ”

Zhong Lingxiu's expression was very solemn, this past had been sealed in her memory for too long, so long that she forgot when it happened. Seeing this, Wan Zilin didn't dare to interrupt her out of her mouth.

"People outside only know that our Zhong family is a family that does business, but in fact, we did not have any strong market competitiveness under the situation at that time, and the company had almost no income for two years, but it was still running very well. ”

"At the time, I thought that it was really like the rumors outside, our century-old family naturally has its own heritage. But then I found out that I was actually wrong, and the reason why we were able to thrive at a loss was because the Zhong family had other side hustles to support the company. ”

"This side hustle is smuggling. It's not just a simple smuggling of ordinary things, what the Zhong family smuggles is arms. ”

When Wan Zilin heard this, her jaw was about to close, such a completely different thing from her cognition was the first time she had encountered such a situation. She could only listen intently to Zhong Lingxiu's narration.

In fact, the history of the Zhong family is indeed like what Yang Tan investigated before, but after all, it is not a member of the Zhong family, and the things investigated are still biased. The Zhong family is indeed a man who smuggled arms.

But it is not said that after the rule of law was perfected, they began to slowly wash their hands and did not dry them. In fact, the Zhong family has always been doing such a family business, but for a few years, they have been relatively low-key, the amount of smuggling is relatively small, and they are all in the dark, so it is understandable that Yang Tan can't find out.

But Zhong Lingxiu is different, she is a member of the Zhong family and grew up in the Zhong family since she was a child. Everything that happened to the Zhong family, she should know something. Her news should be more accurate than Yang Tan's investigation.

"I found out about the smuggling of our Zhong family, so I went to ask my father if he knew about it, I thought he didn't know, but he finally acquiesced. He knew that it was wrong, that he was breaking the law, that he was going to be arrested, but he still did that. ”

"I asked him in a fit of anger when he could stop doing it, did he want our Zhong family to be ruined? Then he told me that in fact, our Zhong family has been smugglers for generations, and we will always be from the beginning. I am the daughter of a smuggler, and I will eventually follow the path of smuggling in the future. ”
