Chapter 114: Fate
It is said that there is no filial son in front of the bed for a long time.
But when one person's illness changes the life of the whole family, it is difficult for you to blame anyone, especially the complicated situation of the Qi family.
Before Zhang Fengling was paralyzed, the Qi family didn't think her existence was necessary, but when she lay motionless and waited to eat and drink, her former importance was revealed.
Cooking, laundry, cleaning, feeding the chickens and ducks, these tasks that must be done every day are piled up, and it is simply overwhelming.
Especially Qi Zhou, who is in his sixties and is not in good health, serving the family and scrubbing and cleaning his daughter-in-law. Overwork and psychological pressure caused her to age rapidly, and her back was much more rickety. But she is a person who has always been obedient, except for silently serving Zhang Fengling for her son, she only said that she owed her daughter-in-law in her previous life.
In fact, Zhang Fengling eats less and drinks less, she feels that letting her mother-in-law serve her is a punishment, every time her mother-in-law lowers her gray hair and picks up and urine for her, she bites her lip and doesn't say a word, and her fingers pinch herself hard. Once, due to too little drinking water and too little activity for a long time, she was constipated, and she didn't have a stool for a week, but Qi Zhou's picked it out with her fingers.
At that moment, Zhang Fengling's brain was blank, she didn't dare to think about anything, she was afraid that as long as she thought a little more, she would die immediately.
Qi Baoliang didn't give her a good look more and more, to be precise, he didn't look at her at all, he pushed all the work of taking care of her to his mother.
Because the old man Qi was taken to the county by Qi Youheng, he simply lived in the south house. Going out to drink and play money all day, sometimes staying all night. During the whole winter, the peasants were idle, and not only did they not pay off their foreign debts at all, but they also owed a lot of gambling debts.
Qi Youde's hair is all white, he is older than the old man Qi, he scolded his son, and persuaded his son, but to no avail.
Qi Weidong came back less and less, Jin Ping simply lived in her mother's house because of pregnancy, came back from the countryside every week, and went directly to report to her mother-in-law's house, to be honest, every time he went home to see his mother's thin face, he was also emotionally depressed, coupled with her temper that broke out from time to time, he was even more reluctant to go back to Taiping.
Qi Wei's family was in the third year of junior high school, applied for a dormitory, and came back one day a week, sometimes, he would go to the fourth uncle's house for dinner, and he felt that it made him comfortable there.
Only Qi Weiqing rushed home every day for more than ten miles, no matter how hard the work of the repair factory was, what time of overtime it was, he had to rush back, go to visit his mother first when he entered the house, talk to her, turn over for her, and clean the dirt without complaint.
is the only time that Zhang Fengling has one of the few times to live in peace.
Most of the time, she would scold He Laosan and his wife, scold them for being uneasy and kind, scold them for deliberately driving to a ditch and turning her off the ox cart, and scold He Laosan for being improper, and if she fell in love with her family Qi Baoliang, she wanted to murder her.
"Phew! I won't die! I'll kill you bastard! You think beautifully! ”
She also scolded her in-laws, "The son I worked so hard to raise was raised for you?" You have robbed you of it, and my son will not come back to see me!" And then he wailed and cried.
In this drastic form, she came to prove her existence and test her family's bottom line.
Shen Mengxi had seen her manic loud noise, she looked at the crazy Zhang Fengling with pity, as if she saw a lonely soul, looking at the world around her fearfully and helplessly, at a loss, and she could only protect herself with violence.
"What do you see? Little mongrel! You're the last thing! Wicked thing! Look at it again, gouge out your eyeballs! Get lost! Far away from my son! Don't come to trouble my house! You still see! ”
Hearing this, Qi Zhoushi hurriedly pulled Shen Mengxi away, "Stay away from her." ”
Zhang Fengling has erected a barrier, separating herself from everyone, and isolating all harm and care.
Lu Xiuzhi once muttered puzzled at her dinner table, "Why can't Feng Ling move, don't the doctors do all the surgery?" ”
In fact, human beings do not know more about themselves than they know about the universe.
Shen Mengxi deduced that part of the reason was the blockage of the meridians, similar to the state of being pointed, and the other part was Zhang Fengling's personal psychological problems. Doctors see patients, and they like the kind of patients who are obedient and fully trust themselves, because the psychological impact is so crucial.
Lu Xiuzhi knitted a sweater after dinner, and said to the old man, "Dad, you said to get some wool for Feng Ling and let her knit a sweater, okay?" It's a business anyway, why don't you buy a few boxes of paper clips and let her hang out on the curtains! ”
Old Man Qi didn't speak, Qi Youheng glared at her, "You think they love knitting sweaters as much as you do!" ”
"That's really, lying like this every day, good people are also lying down!" Lu Xiuzhi had completely forgotten Zhang Fengling's hostility towards their family some time ago, and sympathized with this niece and daughter-in-law from the bottom of her heart.
Shen Mengxi is now a sixth-grade student, and after two years of studying erhu with Teacher Zhang, he has already played a good role, and the neighbors can already hear the poignant Liang Zhu and the stirring horse racing song.
Sometimes in the cultural center, she can also use the old-fashioned piano to help Teacher Zhang make an accompaniment for the choir.
At school, she helped the teacher carve steel plates, print test papers, and sometimes mark papers and homework. In short, she is Mr. Zhang's all-round little helper.
In the past few years, Qi Health Care went to meet twice, although he didn't like it, but Lu Xiuzhi was already very pleased.
The old man Qi lived in Qi Youheng's house, and when the sun was good, he found a leeward place to bask in the sun, chatted with a few old men, and listened to his granddaughter play two erhu at night, and the life was also delicious.
People seem to have forgotten Zhang Fengling, who was paralyzed in bed.
Until April.
The weather has gradually warmed up and everything has recovered.
A half-grown child came to carry the letter and shouted at the door of Qi Youheng's house, "That paralyzed man in your house is hanged!" ”
The teacup in Old Man Qi's hand fell to the floor with a snap, and he said in a dumb voice, "Hanged!" God, I was too obedient when I was young. ”
Shen Mengxi didn't see Zhang Fengling's body, all the children were not allowed to see it, even Qi Weiqing was not allowed to cry and kneel on the ground to beg to see his mother for the last time.
Shen Mengxi pieced together fragments of the conversation between Qi Youheng and his wife, and guessed that Zhang Fengling was busy with spring farming and no one at home, so she climbed to the ground, tied two shoelaces together, and hanged herself on the door handle of the high and low cabinet.
The death of the hanged man can be imagined, his eyes bulging out, his tongue sticking out, and his face purple and blue, which is extremely ugly.
Of course, the Qi family will not let the children see this situation.
There are many discussions in Taiping Village, some say that Zhang Fengling left at a young age and it is really hard, some say that she is finally free, and some people boldly predict when Qi Baoliang will marry another.
When people talk about the death of an unrelated person, they are mostly indifferent, as if they never had to die.
But for those close to me, it's a different feeling.
Some people are sad that they are dead, some people regret and regret that they missed the last opportunity to take care of her, and some people suddenly remember that she was good. Someone, until this moment soberly realized that he no longer had a mother.
Zhang Fengling's three sons knelt on the ground and wept, no matter how they called their mother from today on, no one would answer.
Shen Mengxi saw relief on Qi Baoliang's face, she felt that with Qi Baoliang's emotional intelligence, his desire for Zhang Fengling's death should have been undoubtedly revealed.
- This may be the main reason for Zhang Fengling's suicide.
Shen Mengxi's emotions were delicate, she didn't diagnose Zhang Fengling's pulse, and she wasn't sure if she could treat her illness, but Zhang Fengling's angry scolding had made her feel disgusted, so she never tried to make an effort again.
The long course of her life and the experience of her previous life make it easy for her to ignore and ignore some people and things, she often judges ordinary people by her own standards, and even has no patience to deal with those who do not match her magnetic field.
Zhang Fengling's resolute death touched her heart.
With a hint of apology, perhaps, if she takes the initiative a little more, Zhang Fengling can believe her, perhaps, she will directly prick the needle like Qi Health care, which has produced some effects, and Zhang Fengling can believe her. Maybe at that time, she was afraid that she would be relied on if she couldn't be cured, in short, intentionally or unintentionally, she chose to ignore it.
There are different ways to get close to each other, so that things have a different direction.
Zhang Fengling's sister and brother came, cried profusely, and left not long after.
Shen Mengxi had a little more pity, no one knew the real reason why she gave up her life, and no one knew what she thought in her heart at the last moment.
She squatted down and burned some paper money for Zhang Fengling.
- Was her injury accidental, and was her death fate?
Sometimes, a person's personality determines her choices, and then these choices are combined to become fate.
