Chapter 20: The Ending
I'm used to a person's departure, life is like taking a long-distance train to travel, this is a journey of no return, there are all kinds of scenery along the way, you will meet all kinds of people along the way, some people will accompany you for a ride, very short, but maybe leave you the deepest memory; Some people may accompany you on a long, long journey, but they may hurt you the mostγγγγγγ There is no useless experience in life, no matter who she meets, she will always leave something for you or teach you something. Whether it is to meet, or to leave, this journey of life ultimately needs to be walked by you alone, we come alone, and leave alone, people always take this life train one by one in an orderly manner to the final destination of life, I heard that it is very beautiful, because everyone who has been there does not want to come back, and has never seen anyone come back.
Ye'er has been wandering outside for more than ten years, and finally she didn't meet the person who could treat her gently all her life, so many years of wandering around, let Ye'er know that no one in this world except me, a fool, is really good to her.
Ye'er's selfishness makes her not easily give up the benefits that are easily available, the more selfish people are when they encounter what they want to get, the more trapped they are, the more crazy or humble they are.
One day, by the river, a scorpion met a frog. The scorpion wanted to cross the river, but it couldn't swim, so it had to beg the frog to help carry it across the river. The frog looked at the scorpion and said hesitantly: "It's not that I don't want to carry you across the river, but because you are poisonous, if you bite me when you get to the center of the river, then we will all die." β
The scorpion said, "I promise not to bite you, don't I know the importance of my own life?" β
When the frog heard the scorpion's promise, he thought about it, it really should be like this! Could it be that the scorpion didn't even want its own life because it wanted to bite it? So the frog decided to help carry the scorpion across the river.
When the frog swam to the middle of the river with the scorpion on its back, the scorpion finally couldn't help but bite the frog, and the frog exclaimed, "Didn't you promise not to bite me?" β
"Yes, I promised not to bite you, but I still can't help it!"
Ye'er belongs to such a scorpion, it has long become a habit for wicked people to do evil things, and even she herself can't control herself from doing evil things, and finally took her own net worth.
Once when Ye'er came home and thought that she had become so miserable, Ye'er told me that her "self-righteousness" ended up hurting her. She said that she was like a snake stabbed by some sharp object, not thinking about how to get rid of this sharp object, but blindly stubbornly entangled, the tighter and tighter it was entangled, and finally the deeper the wound became.
Yes, her "self-righteousness" hurt her! But she didn't really reflect on herself, but went farther and deeper on this road, and finally lived in a miserable situation of drifting around and wandering, this miserable desperate state made her want to go home again and again, but I knew that Ye'er's homecoming was only a temporary refuge when she was desperate, and it was definitely not sincere, because she had long been accustomed to poison like that scorpion!
Ye'er is greedy for the food and clothing I can bring her, Ye'er is greedy for my higher income is enough for her to enjoy her old age, Ye'er is greedy for my family's very big house, Ye'er is greedy for the happiness of being able to stretch out her hands for food and open her mouth with clothesγγγγγγ But she only took temporary refuge when she was desperate, and it was not because she loved me!
A week later, over the weekend, my daughter came home. At noon, my daughter and I just had lunch, my daughter went upstairs to wash clothes, I was in the kitchen to take care of the hygiene, my mobile phone rang, I picked up the mobile phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar mobile phone number, I didn't answer, and set the mobile phone ringtone status to silent, let the other party keep calling.
Ye'er, who had finally stopped for a week, actually called me again. I guess this call must have come from Ye'er, and it was indeed from Ye'er. The phone was always on the phone over and over again, but I let her keep calling, I just wouldn't answer, and I kept the phone on silent as if nothing had happened, while I was busy cleaning up the kitchen.
After a few minutes, the daughter shouted upstairs, "Daddy, answer the phone." Mom calls you a dozen times, why don't you answer? They are all adults, and if there is anything to explain it clearly. β
It turned out that Ye'er called me more than a dozen times in a row, and seeing that I didn't answer, I had to call my daughter and ask her daughter to force me to answer the phone. Yes, it's all an adult world, just make it clear if there's anything. But what do I need to talk to her about? We have no love for a long time, the moment she cheated and betrayed me more than ten years ago, we had no love, a person who leaves you easily must not be the one who loves you! I still understand this truth. Besides, we have divided and merged many times later, and such divisions and mergers will eventually be divided, because such divisions and mergers are not because of love at all! I calculate my own will, I calculate my responsibility, I calculate how to give my children a complete home; Ye'er calculates my money, Ye'er calculates what I can bring her without worrying about food and clothing, Ye'er calculates that she can enjoy all kinds of good things I give her as a matter of course, and our division and combination are nothing more than love.
I had to impatiently pick up the phone and dial: "Hey, what's the matter?" β
"Do you think you can hide from it?" Ye Er said hatefully.
"Don't take it personally, okay? What do I have to hide? We've not been husband and wife for a long time, you know? It's been more than ten years since I divorced you. I said.
"I won't go around in circles with you anymore, after I came back from you last time, I had gynecological inflammation, and I spent hundreds of dollars for more than a week, and I still didn't look good. You pay me to see a doctor, and I will go to a regular big hospital for a good examination. "The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, and Ye'er wanted to blackmail me again.
"Tell you, I've only been with you since my last divorce, believe it or not! Even if you go to a big hospital for a check-up, if it's really because of me that causes you to get sick, you can come over with the hospital test sheet, and I will help you see a doctor even if I smash the pot and sell iron! With that, I hung up.
A month later, my daughter always said that the unit was working overtime and had not been home for several weeks, and Ye'er had never called me since she called me this time, as if the world had evaporated, and she had disappeared.
It's a weekend and my daughter is coming home. I saw that my daughter, who I hadn't seen for a month, had become visibly haggard, with a depressed expression, unlike the usual smile and greeting her father as soon as she entered the house every time she came home. I opened the door for my daughter, and when my daughter saw my indifferent look, she lowered her head and went upstairs without even saying hello to me, and I hurriedly followed her upstairs to ask my daughter what was going on, whether it was a little unsatisfactory at work, or something else.
The daughter said impatiently: "Don't bother me, I don't eat at home at noon, I'll pack up my clothes, I'm about to leave, there is something in the unit." β
Alas, my daughter is older, and my daughter's mind is not understood by my father, so I have to go back to the kitchen downstairs to prepare for cooking.
After a while, my daughter had already packed her two big bags of clothes and came downstairs, and my daughter put her clothes on the sofa, then walked into the kitchen, pulled out a dining chair, and sat there with a sad and solemn expression and said to me: "Dad, please do me a favor, okay?" β
Such an expression really frightened me, and I quickly asked, "What's the matter?" As long as Dad can help, Dad will definitely help! β
The daughter sighed and said, "Can you lend me 100,000 yuan?" β
"What do you want so much money for? You have to give me a reason, and if it's a serious matter, Dad will give it to you; If it's not serious, then I won't give you a penny! I said to my daughter suspiciously but firmly.
At this time, my daughter heard me say this, and she actually cried, and a few tears fell from the corners of her daughter's eyes, and her daughter choked up and said: "My mother is sick and hospitalized, and she has advanced cervical cancer, and she urgently needs 100,000 yuan in medical expenses!" β
Although I hated this woman, when I heard my daughter say that her mother turned out to be in the terminal stage of cervical cancer, I still seemed very stunned, and the air instantly froze, that is, a few seconds, I said to my daughter: "What about your mother's money?" Doesn't she have a balance? β
The daughter said angrily: "Don't mention it, she only had more than 100 yuan left on her at that time and wanted to go to the hospital for a checkup, or I gave her 2,000 yuan, and then found a relationship to let her be admitted to the hospital." β
"Okay, you go to the hospital to take care of your mother first, and as for the money, you let your father think about it and get back to you within an hour." That's all I can do to my daughter.
My daughter drove away with her luggage, looking at the back of my daughter leaving home, I was really distressed, I felt sorry for how my daughter could meet such a mother, and I also hated how I fell in love with such a wife in the first place!
What's the use of hate, the facts are here, it is impossible for a daughter to die for her own mother without saving her. However, my daughter doesn't have much money, this is what I know, although my daughter has worked for several years and her income is quite considerable, but her daughter's salary has to maintain a car, pay rent, and miscellaneous expenses such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, so every month, my daughter's salary is almost not much left.
I heard her daughter say later that after Ye'er's sisters and brothers heard that Ye'er was in the terminal stage of cervical cancer, for the sake of maintaining the family relationship, each family only symbolically took out 5,000 yuan to send it to the hospital, and then never visited her mother in the hospital again. Yes, Ye'er's actions have already broken the hearts of her relatives, and Ye'er's sister once scolded her in front of Ye'er: "If you gamble like this, you will die without a place to bury in the future!" Yes, this sentence was said by her sister.
What to do? What can I do! I can only take out 100,000 yuan to help my daughter, but my 100,000 yuan is definitely not to help Ye'er treat her illness. Although I also know that this is a self-deceptive statement, I can't let my daughter cry for the 100,000 yuan, I took out 100,000 yuan to help my daughter!
Half an hour later, I called my daughter 100,000 yuan and sent a text message to tell her that my money had been spent, and my daughter only replied with the word "thank you". yes, what else do you want your daughter to reply to you, at this time your daughter must be anxious and emaciated by her mother's illness.
One afternoon, six months later, my daughter called, and she said that her mother wanted to see me, and her daughter said that her mother regretted many of the wrong things she had done to me. I said, no, just let her go with some regretsγγγγγγ
Late that night, my daughter called and cried that her mother had died, in this hospital. Hearing the news of Ye'er's death, I didn't even have any expression or the slightest mood fluctuation, not that I was ruthless, but that my heart had already died, how could a dead heart have emotional fluctuations?
At noon the next day, I called my daughter to ask how she planned to handle her mother's funeral, and she said that her uncle, Ye'er's brother, had come to the hospital, but Ye'er's sister had not come. In the morning, my daughter and her uncle had already cremated Ye'er's body, and Ye'er's brother was going to scatter Ye'er's ashes into the sea, and my daughter asked me what to do? Because none of them wanted to spend money on a cemetery for a dead person to be buried.
I said, "Maybe now you can accept to sprinkle your mother's ashes into the sea, but you will definitely regret it later, once you decide to sprinkle your mother's ashes into the sea, then you will really never see your mother in this life, no matter what, she is your mother after all." β
"What then?" My daughter asked me at a loss.
"How much does it cost to buy a cemetery?" I asked my daughter.
"At least forty or fifty thousand." The daughter said in a choked voice.
"Okay, I'll give you 50,000 yuan right away, and you and your uncle will choose a cemetery for your mother, so that she can be buried as soon as possible." In order for my daughter not to regret it in the future, I have to do this, and I have to do it. I am for my daughter, for my daughter to keep her biological mother, after all, Ye'er is my daughter's mother, and I don't want my daughter to regret this matter for the rest of her life in the future.
"Thank you, Dad." The daughter said crying on the phone.
In this way, Ye'er died, and Ye'er died in this spring that was about to be midsummer;
In this way, Ye'er died, and Ye'er successfully took away 100,000 yuan from me before she died;
In this way, Ye'er died, and Ye'er successfully took away 50,000 yuan from me to buy a cemetery for her to bury after her deathγγγγγγ
What is the reason for all this? Maybe this is fate, marry you and bury you in the ground!
