Chapter 132: The True Face of Tragedy
Shen's father didn't sleep well all night, and all he could think about now was why his daughter was where she was today. Obviously, she used to be so small, such an innocent and harmless little girl, how could she fall to this point today.
He first cleaned himself up and made himself look refreshed. Then he loaded a whole cart of gifts, and today he planned to visit three families, all of whom were family members of the victims of the explosion.
It was a pleasure to go out in his beloved jeep before, but this time, the mood was really heavy. He didn't want to tell his wife about this incident, first, because he didn't know what to say, and he was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear such a blow.
"Who is it?"
When he came to the address of the first family, Shen's father first rang the doorbell. The door was opened by a middle-aged woman, and she was surprised to see him.
"Hello, I am the representative of Boshi Enterprise, and I am here to express my condolences this time."
Father Shen immediately smiled on his face, explained his intention, and brought the condolences in front of him, hoping that the other party would understand what he meant.
But the other party obviously had a heavy expression on his face when he heard the words Bo's Enterprise, and he didn't even smile at Father Shen.
"We've already got your compensation, so you don't need to pay for condolences or anything. You go back, the two old people had another sad night last night, and they finally rested, so don't bother anymore. ”
Seeing that the other party was about to drive himself away after speaking, how could Father Shen agree. He subconsciously used his hand to block the door that was about to close, and because of this, his hand was clamped fiercely, and it hurt very much.
"Just let me in, just give me a chance."
Father Shen covered his hands and almost pleaded with the other party, and the other party was also a little frightened by Father Shen's action just now. But it was she who caught the other party's hand, so she felt a little ashamed, and said helplessly:
"Hey, if you want to come in, come in."
Father Shen was a little happy, there was originally no hope, but fortunately, there was a slight turnaround.
Judging by the various circumstances of the family, this should be a family with medium conditions, and the children are already older, and there are various awards posted on the wall. If Father Shen guessed correctly, this woman should be the mistress of the house, and it was her husband who died in this explosion.
"Sit down."
The hostess simply beckoned Father Shen to sit down, and casually picked up the lighter on the coffee table and lit a cigarette. As if noticing Shen's father's surprised gaze, she explained:
"Ever since he left, I haven't been able to sleep for days and nights. That's when I realized that smoke was a really good thing, at least it calmed me down. ”
After saying that, she took a deep breath and spit it out, and the living room was filled with the smell of smoke.
"Hey, you're smoking again, how many times have you told you, no matter how sad you are, you can't smoke like this all day! It hurts your body like this! ”
Probably smelling the smell of smoke, an old woman over sixty years old came out and said to the hostess, but she was actually very concerned about her.
The hostess extinguished the cigarette butt helplessly, smiled bitterly, and said to the old woman:
"Mom, I'm sorry to disturb you, you can go to bed, you haven't slept in days."
The hostess got up and wanted to send the old man back to the room, but the old man noticed the presence of Father Shen first, and asked:
"Who is this?"
When Father Shen heard this, he immediately got up and introduced himself:
"Hello, I'm a representative of Bo's Enterprises, and I'm sorry to hear that your son was killed in this explosion."
is still the polite but innocent opening remarks, and the hostess is obviously already a little disgusted. When the old lady heard this, she came up to him with some unusual behavior, and grabbed his sleeve with both hands. There was a mist in her eyes instantly, and the old man looked like this, and the hostess immediately came over and grabbed her.
"Mom, what do you say you're doing?"
The old woman didn't answer her, but stared at Father Shen and said without blinking:
"My son died in that explosion, what's the use of you coming? This person is gone, who are you doing all this superficial work for! He's not even forty years old! You just said that it was a gas leak accident, and with such a fluttering sentence, a life would be lost! ”
The old woman finally began to cry and finally fell to her knees as if she had lost her strength. The hostess hurriedly went to help her up, but the old woman still pulled Shen's father's clothes and refused to leave.
"Mom, stop making trouble. Ah Ming is gone, you can't come back if you make trouble like this, Xiaobao will come back from school in a few days, we still have to think about how to explain to Xiaobao. ”
The hostess stepped forward to persuade. But after persuading and persuading, she couldn't control her emotions, and she was obviously shedding tears, but she was still encouraging the old woman to be strong.
When Father Shen saw this scene, his whole person froze, and he couldn't describe the impact that this scene brought him. Is this what his daughter did? Is this what his daughter wants? Did Feng Ning think about this scene before planning this matter?
Finally, the hostess coaxed the old woman back to the room, but Shen's father was still stunned and didn't know what to do. If at first he thought he would be able to handle it with ease, now he just doesn't know how to do it. What has happened since he entered the door has had a great impact on him, both physically and mentally.
The hostess's mood eased a little, and she wanted to light a cigarette casually, but she thought of something, so she walked directly to the door.
"Come with me, I'm afraid I'll make noise to the old man again."
The hostess said seemingly calmly. Father Shen followed out. Closing the door, the hostess took a deep puff of cigarette, and the smell of smoke was immediately filled with the surroundings.
"You go back, our family's problems are not solved by condolences. I lost my husband, two elderly people lost their only son, and my children lost their fathers. So, no. ”
Father Shen was powerless to refute anything at this time, the gift he brought had just been left at home by him, but he felt that his behavior was simply ridiculous. Finally, he thought of something, and hurriedly took it out of himself. Fortunately, he was not mistaken, and he really took out a bank card.
"There's a million in this card, and while it doesn't make up for it mentally, it's the only thing I can do."
Father Shen only hoped that the hostess would accept the money, so that he could at least feel better.
"No, the Qian Bo company that should be compensated has already compensated us. It's your own money, you don't need to do it. ”
The hostess waved her hand with the cigarette butt in her mouth and replied firmly.
"Please accept it, just for the sake of the child, the child is still young, and there will be more days to use the money in the future!"
Father Shen was persuaded by his mother-in-law again, and the hostess thought of something. She stared at the bank card as if she was thinking about something, and Shen's father realized that his persuasion might have been effective.
