Chapter 12: The Death of Parents
When I heard the person on the other end of the phone say that something had happened to my parents, my first reaction was that I was a liar, so I hung up the phone without saying a word.
Although I didn't believe what happened to my parents on the other end of the line, I decided to call my mother to be on the safe side.
I dialed the phone, only to find that my mother had turned off the phone, which gave me a vague sense of foreboding.
"Coincidence, it must be a coincidence, they can't be okay, how can they have an accident?" I reminded myself in my mind while calling my stepdad again.
But the result was the same as my mother's, my stepfather's phone was also turned off, and I was a little flustered for a while, I knew very well that my stepfather's and mother's mobile phones would never be turned off except when they were out of battery.
If one of them has a mobile phone turned off, then it may be a coincidence, but if the mobile phone of the two of them is turned off, then it must not be a coincidence.
"Ding! Ding"----
At this time, the phone rang again, and it was the same person who called me, but this time I didn't think he was a liar as I had just done.
He told me that my parents were now at the Municipal People's Hospital and asked me to hurry over.
Although the injuries on my body were very serious, I could no longer take care of the injuries on my body, and I rushed out of the room without even having time to change my slippers and rushed to the Municipal People's Hospital.
Sitting in the car, I kept thinking in my mind that nothing must happen to my parents, and when I arrived at the hospital, I ran straight to the emergency room.
Outside the emergency room, three uniformed police officers are now standing.
The three policemen also noticed my arrival, and the oldest of the three, a middle-aged policeman, walked up to me and asked, "Are you the son of Zhang Tianhu and Xu Xuejuan?" ”
"Yes! What happened to my stepfather and my mother, what happened to them? I asked anxiously to the middle-aged policeman.
The middle-aged policeman looked serious and was a little reluctant to speak, but finally said: "Your stepfather and mother were in a car accident, and your stepfather died on the spot, and your mother is now being rescued, but the situation is not optimistic!" ”
I really wanted to keep myself calm, but when I learned that my stepfather had died in a car accident and my mother was now in danger, I couldn't calm down.
"How is it possible, how can they have a car accident, they are obviously going on a business trip! How could they get into a car accident? ”
Although I knew that the middle-aged policeman could not lie to me, and there was no need to lie to me, I still didn't want to accept this fact, because my stepfather and mother clearly told me that they had gone on a business trip and would not come back for several days, and even if they had an accident, they should have had an accident in a foreign country!
The middle-aged policeman patted me on the shoulder, "Have they been on a business trip, we haven't investigated this yet, but after our understanding, your parents' company seems to have suffered huge losses recently, owes a lot of money, and your parents have a deep relationship with the underworld, and have also offended many people, so your parents' car accident is likely to be deliberately caused by someone, as for the driver who caused the accident, we are still trying our best to find it!" ”
The company is losing money?
How could my stepfather's construction company be running a good business, but how could it be a loss?
I was about to ask the police for some information, but at this time, the door of the emergency room suddenly opened, and a doctor in a white coat walked out with a blank face, "Are the patient's family there?" ”
"In! At! I'm here! ”
"Come on in! Patients have something to say! The doctor said indifferently, he was used to seeing life and death, so all this didn't seem to affect him at all.
He can treat it calmly, but I can't, after hearing his words, I have realized something in my heart, the patient has something to say, that is to say, the patient is no longer saved, what she wants to say may be a will.
At this moment, I was a little afraid to face it, but I couldn't help but face it, because it was probably the last time I saw my mother.
I rushed into the emergency room like a mad dog, and on the emergency room bed, my mother's face was no longer bloody, and her body was deliberately covered with a white cloth, through which I saw a faint blood red.
I can even imagine the scene under the white cloth, it must be terrifying, the mother is a very beautiful woman, she asked the doctor to put a white cloth on her, although it is very unlucky, but more than this, she does not want her son to see her at this time.
"Mom!" ---
When I walked to the bed, I spit out a word with some difficulty, looking at my mother's current appearance, I felt that my heart was dripping blood, I wanted to cry, but I gritted my teeth and didn't let myself cry.
My mother looked at me with her mouth open as if she was saying something, but she was too weak for me to hear what she was saying, so I quickly put my ear to my mother's mouth.
"Ze--Zexiong, now you are the only man in the family, take care of your sister, and take care of yourself"
Mother only said one such sentence, and after this sentence, her mouth did not move.
Seeing that the monitor in the emergency room was no longer showing my mother's heartbeat, I couldn't help but cry----
The reason why an accident is called an accident is because it always comes so suddenly.
It never lets you notice it, it's like a ghost, one second there is no trace, the next second it may appear in front of you, without giving you a little time to prepare.
My mother and stepfather passed away like this, and when I saw their bodies appear in front of me at the same time, I slapped myself hard, because if it was a dream, my slap would have woken me up.
But I know it's not a dream, it's reality, and I --- have to face it.
In the evening, I sat on the sofa and waited for Zhang Yingying to come back, while thinking about how to tell her about it.
When the door opened, Zhang Yingying ran to the living room angrily and yelled at me: "I'm so angry!" I'm really, do you know how arrogant the hippopotamus is at school today? Do you know what he said to me? He actually told me that one of his cousins who was mixed in society told him that my dad's company had an accident and owed a lot of money, and now all the people under him have run out, and my dad has no subordinates, so he doesn't have to be afraid of me now! ”
"Are you saying he's funny, how can something happen to my dad's company now that it's running so well?"
"No! I had to call my dad and ask him to get someone to clean up my hippos."
Zhang Yingying picked up her phone as she spoke, but I stepped forward and snatched her phone.
"What are you doing? Hurry up and --- your phone" Zhang Yingying didn't continue in the middle of her words, because she found that my face was not quite right, and she also found that my eyes were red. ”
I looked at her seriously and nodded at her, "Something happened to the company, and my stepfather and mother ---- also had an accident." ”
For the next few days, Zhang Yingying and I did not go to school.
After Zhang Yingying learned the news of her stepfather's and mother's accident, she seemed to be crazy, drinking, smoking, crying, yelling, she vented herself vigorously, and I could only be by her side.
She can vent, but I can't, because I have to watch her, take care of her, and I have to be strong because I'm the only man in the family right now!
And in the past few days, I have probably understood the situation of my stepfather and mother, the domestic economy has been sluggish in recent years, especially in the construction industry, my stepfather's company project has problems and owes a large amount of arrears, they said they were going on a business trip in those days, but in fact they did not go on a business trip, but borrowed money everywhere.
Now that they're dead, there's nothing left but the house where Zhang Yingying and I live now.
As for the cause of their car accident, the police must have done it on purpose, but they did not investigate who the murderer was, but they promised me that they would notify us as soon as they found out the murderer.
A few days later, the bodies of my stepfather and mother were cremated, but Zhang Yingying was unwilling to go to school, and the death of my stepfather and mother hurt her a lot, so I didn't force her, but continued to stay with her at home and enlighten her.
Although, I also need the enlightenment of others----
Half a month later, Zhang Yingying finally came out of the shadow of her parents' death and agreed to go back to school with me.
We went back to school, much to the excitement of Hippo because he had been waiting for us to go back to school for a long time----
