Chapter Thirty-Eight: Motherhood
The mute mother watched the changes, did not move or open her eyes, and Ren Yin Seventeen was busy in her home. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
It wasn't until Yin Seventeen woke her up softly and said let her eat some porridge that she slowly opened her eyes, and Ren Yin Seventeen slowly helped her up and sat against the bed board.
Yin Qiqi saw that although the dumb mother still had a vegetable face and a sick face, she saw that the dumb mother opened her eyes and her spirit was much better, and she smiled sincerely:
"Auntie, you're awake! But what do you still feel uncomfortable? This is the porridge I bought by the way, so my aunt will drink some first! I'll come back later, I'll buy some nutritious vegetables and meat, now that you've just gotten off the high fever, you'd better eat some light porridge first, and wait for ......."
She talked endlessly, and all she said was about caring for her dumb mother, with all her heart.
The mute mother looked at her little face with a very serious and upright appearance, chattering like a little old woman, and her eyes gradually moistened.
Yin Qiqi thought for a while, and as soon as she handed the soup spoon with the porridge to the dumb mother's mouth, she saw that the dumb mother's eyes were filled with tears, and she was stunned for a while, she was cautious:
"Auntie, did I say something wrong or do something wrong?"
The mute mother shook her head.
Yin Seventeen breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!" Aunt doesn't have to think about it, I didn't come this time for the Narcissus case, what my aunt doesn't want to say, I won't ask again, my aunt is afraid that I don't know that in fact, I have only one grandmother in my family, no father, no mother, and no brothers and sisters......"
The mute mother suddenly grabbed her hands.
Yin Qiqi smiled: "It's okay, aunt, in the past five years, I have been used to the days of relying on my grandmother, I said this to my aunt, it will not arouse any sad and sad things, I just want to tell my aunt that I am not here for the case, I just can't see people who are as lonely as me...... No one knows when you're sick......"
The mute mother looked at her strangely.
Yin Qiqi remembered that she had just said that she had a grandmother, so she patted her forehead again:
"Look at me, my words are reversed, my aunt must be confused for me!"
She also told her that Granny Tao was not her own grandmother, and how she was saved by Granny Tao five years ago, and picked it up and took it home and recognized it as a grandchild to the present.
After speaking, the dumb mother also finished a bowl of porridge.
When she returned to the dormitory after taking the bowl back to the kitchen and washing it, the mute mother handed her a letter that she had at some point.
Yin Seventeen looked at the mute mother hesitantly, the mute mother just smiled and nodded at her, she took the envelope that looked like it had several pages written on it, and began to open it.
The gist of the epistle is roughly -
"If one day she dies, then her death must be inseparable from Li Shibao!
Because she witnessed Li Shibao's crazy appearance, it was one night, Li Hao had just come out of Yingcui Building from her, and in the street behind the window of her room, a crazy teenager hit Li Hao's swollen eye, and afterwards she asked Li Hao who it was, Li Hao sneered and said, that is his name turtle son!
From that moment on, Narcissus knew a terrible secret, because she saw that Li Shibao was not a normal teenager, he had crazy violent tendencies, and he had absolute destructive power, Li Hao's two front teeth that were knocked out and the swollen eyes that took more than a month to reduce are the best proof, it was just a punch!
Since Li Hao heard that Li Shibao's brain did have some problems, Narcissus was secretly happy, she thought that this was a big secret, and she could get some benefits from it, such as money, and she also got it from the Lu family.
But whenever she thought of Lu's gloomy eyes and the scene of Li Shibao beating people, she began to panic in her heart.
She is not afraid of the Lu family, but she is very afraid of the seemingly normal but abnormal Li Shibao, when he does not beat people and does not get angry, he is a beautiful young man!
She expected that one day, she would be killed or disappeared, so she must have nothing to do with that abnormal Li Shibao! ”
After reading the letter written by Narcissus in advance, all the clouds and mist in Yin Seventeen's heart seemed to be clear in an instant.
The clever Narcissus had anticipated her own crisis and wrote such a causal letter to inform those who cared about her life and death or investigated her case.
At this time, the mute mother beckoned to Yin Seventeen, signaling her to come closer.
She approached as if she were a mute mother, and sat down on the edge of the bed.
The mute mother grabbed Yin Seventeen's hand and began to write in the palm of her hand:
"Yin Kuaishou, you are a good person, please be sure to avenge my narcissus, narcissus is a poor child, if it weren't for my old bones...... Narcissus she ......"
The mute mother wrote very slowly, and tears fell on her palms as she wrote.
She looked at the words written in the palm of her hand, and felt the sadness, anger and helplessness contained in each word written by the dumb mother on her palm.
Yin Seventeen asked, "When Zhan Zhutou and I first came to the door, why didn't my aunt give us this letter from Narcissus?" ”
If the dumb mother had handed over at the beginning, then she and Zhanyan would have grabbed Li Shibao's line earlier, if Li Shibao was really the murderer, then the four lives of Tianyue Street might be able to be saved...... However, there are no ifs in this world.
The mute mother seemed to be stopped by her, and the mute mother paused for a long moment, and then slowly wrote in the palm of her hand:
"Narcissus is a good boy, she's just for me...... She didn't really want to blackmail those rich and noble families, she just wanted to grab enough money to redeem herself as soon as possible...... At the beginning, she also sold her father to the Qinglou for the sake of having two silver burials......"
Seeing this, she somewhat understood.
The dumb mother was afraid that as soon as this letter was exposed, the people of the yamen would pursue Narcissus's extortion of Lu's money many times, adding a stain to Narcissus's innocent name.
Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, Narcissus is already a piece of black paper, and it makes no difference if one or two or three black strokes are added, but in the heart of a loving mother, it is a knife cut in her heart.
Yin XVII promised: "Aunt, rest assured, this letter will only help us catch the murderer as soon as possible, so that the murderer can get the punishment he deserves, so that the spirit of Narcissus in the sky can be blinded, as for the rest...... We won't say much! ”
The "other" in her words naturally refers to the part where Narcissus extorts money from the Lu family.
The mute mother suddenly burst into tears, she heard the meaning of Yin Seventeen's words, she struggled to get up, and knelt on the bed like that, she kept kowtowing to Yin Seventeen.
Yin Seventeen was startled, and hurriedly stopped the dumb mother from kowtowing to her, feeling in her heart.
Even if Narcissus is already a remnant in the eyes of everyone, and there is no name to speak of, but in the mind of the dumb mother, Narcissus is her most distressed daughter, and Narcissus makes a mistake again, and the dumb mother still wants to keep the last bit of dignity of Narcissus.
So when the dumb mother came to the door for the first time Yin Seventeen and Zhan Yan, she struggled very much, she wanted the people of the yamen to find the murderer as soon as possible to avenge Narcissus, but she also contradictodly wanted to keep the period of disgrace that Narcissus had hidden from everyone during her lifetime.
At that time, although Yin Seventeen intuitively felt that the dumb mother had something to hide, he didn't expect that what the dumb mother was hiding was so important.
Narcissus's life is full of drama and tragedy.
At first, she sold herself for her father, and then for her mother, and then she took risks to extort money that should not belong to her, but to leave the dusty land that ruined her family and disgraced her family and relatives as soon as possible.
It's just that Narcissus didn't expect that her recklessness would eventually push her to death.
