Chapter 149: It doesn't matter
I suddenly felt that it was a big mistake to come over today to propose to see Liu Juan. In other words, the decision to visit the patient was a big mistake in itself.
I didn't want to make my mother sad again, so I immediately changed the topic, "Mom, I think the clothes in our store are quite trendy, my dad has a good eye, otherwise we can also learn how to open an online store for young people now, and we can also increase sales!"
"Is this thing reliable?" my mother cared very little about these things, and she didn't even believe in online payments. Fortunately, the people who come to the store to consume are the elderly, and there are more people who use cash, and now they are all clothes that young people like.
When I briefly introduced the operation of the online store and the new payment methods, my mother shook her head again and again. "No, no, no, what's the matter, the money doesn't go through our hands, is there less fraud on the Internet now? No, no, it's too unreliable!"
I smiled bitterly, but I also knew that it couldn't be explained, so I thought about it and persuaded, "It's okay not to open an online store, but you and my dad have to learn to use Alipay and WeChat to collect accounts, otherwise young people come in to buy clothes, and you can't collect money, wouldn't it be embarrassing!"
"Ahh
It took me three hours to finally teach my parents how to use Alipay and WeChat, but fortunately I bought my parents' mobile phones, otherwise they would not have worked.
My father is very excited every time he comes into contact with new things, and there happens to be a young couple who come in to shop and buy a set of dresses, so he learns and sells them now, and uses Alipay to collect money, which is so beautiful that he smiles. I've rarely seen him so happy lately, and I've laughed along.
Noon was a time when the traffic was relatively large, and I knew that the two of them would definitely not go home for dinner, so I bought takeout and ate together in the store, so I found a reason to leave. I never talked to my mother about visiting the patient, and my mother naturally didn't remember it because of business.
When I left the store, I secretly decided not to let my mother go to the hospital again, so as not to add to my grief. However, I hesitated and decided to take a look at Liu Juan.
The original plan to buy a few books ran aground, I bought some fruit and went straight to the hospital, at this time, Lin Dong should still be at work, I don't want to meet him, look at Liu Juan's heart and put this matter on the way. As my mother said, people are going to die, and there is nothing to forgive for all the grievances and hatreds in life.
The inpatient department is still full of people, as if the hospital in every city is crowded all the time. It's like everyone is sick, and they will eventually come here, no matter what you used to be, you will struggle between life and death when you enter here, and no amount of energy and money can fill this big hole.
From the beginning to the end, whether it is life or power and wealth, it seems that there will be an end, following cause and effect.
I found Liu Juan's ward according to the address Lin Dong gave me, a three-person room, cramped and crowded. Liu Juan's bed was in the window seat, and the other two beds happened to be visited by someone, and when she said this, she became more and more cold and lonely on that side.
I walked over slowly, placing the fruit on the table next to the bed and looking down at her. Liu Juan fell asleep, and her face, which was not fat, was now more and more shriveled, and it had become sallow due to the torture of the disease, and it looked lifeless, like a withered tree, which could no longer bloom any green.
I didn't speak, I found a stool and sat down, she was still on a drip, breathing softly. From the first time I saw her, it seemed, this was the only time to me with such a peaceful countenance. I couldn't help but sigh a little in my heart, and when I saw her, I saw that she didn't mean to wake up, so I was about to get up and leave, when the nurse happened to come over, and saw me stunned with a replacement hanging bottle in her hand, and then asked, "Are you a family member of this bed?"
I didn't know how to answer, so I hesitated and nodded, "Sort of!"
"Oh, that's great! The emergency room is too busy today, the nurse has been transferred, and she has to change two more bottles, just so you are watching here, and after the bell, I don't have to remember it, there are too many things, I'm afraid I will forget it for a while!" The nurse was covered with beads of sweat on her forehead, apparently in a hurry.
I just wanted to take a look and leave, but now I can't leave. The nurse changed the bottle and hurried away, and I sat back on the stool, looking down at my phone boredly, occasionally looking up at the bottle.
I don't know how many times I looked up, and I don't know when the person on the bed woke up, but when I raised my head again, I happened to bump into Liu Juan's chaotic eyes.
My heart shook, and I instinctively wanted to run away, and I got up suddenly, and the chair under my ass made a screeching sound because of this movement, which looked very strange at the moment.
I grinned stiffly, but I didn't think it was, and paused to explain, "I met Lin Dong yesterday and heard that you were sick, so I came to take a look, just now you fell asleep, I put down my things and prepared to leave, but the nurse said that no one was watching, and there was no way to change the dressing, so, so ......"
It wasn't a shameful thing to do, but I found it extremely difficult to explain. It seems that your enemy is defeated and the end is miserable, and you come to visit with something, and there is more or less an element of showing off and watching a good show, whether it is passerby A or the patient himself, there will be such thoughts.
"Forget it, I know you don't want to see me, actually, I don't have anything to say to you! But after all, I have been your daughter-in-law for five years, and you are sick, so I should come over to visit! Originally, my mother was going to come, but I really couldn't leave today. Since you're awake, remember to ring the bell and call the nurse when the hanging bottle is almost over, I'll go first!"
I said that I turned around to leave, but Liu Juan stopped me at this time, "Evening!"
I paused suddenly, how long has it been, this unfamiliar title seems to have only been called so affectionately by Liu Juan when I first went to Lin Dong's hometown. For a while, I stood on the edge of the bed, and I only felt that the person in front of me was like a world away.
"Evening!" Liu Juan's voice was extremely dry and hoarse, and with her current face, she looked more and more like a ghost crawling out of hell. "You came to see me, you came to see me!"
Liu Juan muttered in a low voice, but tears flowed down instantly. Spread along the ravine-like surroundings to the white pillow, she didn't even have the strength to get up and hold me, and her arms were raised, but there was nothing she could do.
I couldn't bear it, sat down again, and persuaded with a smile, "Since you're sick, treat your illness well, and I'll wait for you to finish the injection before leaving!"
Liu Juan's tears were out of control, crying very ugly, tears and snot were smuggling, I felt uncomfortable and disgusted to look at, but I couldn't let her look like that, so I took out a tissue from my bag and wiped it for her.
"Okay, don't cry, such a big person, it's been half a lifetime, and there's nothing else you can't see through! People will get sick when they're old, and when they're sick, they should take injections and take medicine, this is something that no one can do! Lin Dong wants to go to work to earn money, don't be too harsh, after all, after all, the living people have to live!"
My nose was also a little sore, and I lowered my head to look at her. Liu Juan eased up for a long time before she finally calmed down, her lips trembled and she couldn't speak, but those cloudy eyes looked at me without blinking, with emotions that made me extremely uncomfortable.
Guilty? or begging. No matter which one it is, I will not and cannot accept it, I have nothing to do with her in the first place, at the moment when I divorced Lin Dong, there will be no intersection in this life, what is left except the initial mutual complaint? No, nothing.
"Ah Dong, he really regrets it!" This was the first thing Liu Juan said to me after calming down, not to mock my visit, not to apologize and repent to me, but to say such a sentence for Lin Dong.
A mother, no matter when, thinks about her children the most. I can't help but forgive this alone. You can fight back, you can retaliate against a mother's mistakes, but you have no right or position to veto.
What kind of love is not love, even if it is deformed, how can it not be warm. At least in my opinion, Lin Dong is reluctant to accept this maternal love and is moved.
"It doesn't matter anymore!" I looked up at her and said softly, "It doesn't matter anymore!"
I don't know what to call her at this moment, call her by her name? If it was the previous-for-tat, maybe it would, but in the face of such Liu Juan, I no longer have a trace of fighting spirit.
"The two of you have been together for so many years, why can't you turn back!" Liu Juan was unwilling and struggled to get up, but in the end she couldn't get her body and fell on the bed in despair. "Tonight, mom please, please!"
I didn't start, I didn't answer anything.
"Wanwan, Ah Dong really regretted it! He got drunk, hugged me and cried, shouting all your name! He was spoiled by me, and he had a bad temperament. Mom apologizes to you, kowtows to you to compensate for it, you don't leave him, no one is with him except you, no one can accompany him!"
At the end of the words, he was choked up and silent.
I got up in a hurry and couldn't sit still anymore. I don't know how to answer, and the words of rejection are on my lips but I can't say them anyway. I almost escaped out of the ward, met the previous little nurse at the entrance of the corridor, said that there was something urgent to leave and went directly into the elevator, the whole person leaned on the elevator, and the heart was almost uncomfortably together.
The memories of the past have come up like a tide, but suddenly they have become so distant, as if they are intertwined with the present time in different time and space, you look at it, empathize with it, but you don't want to touch it again.
