230. Old Past

Looking at this black and white photo, there were huge waves in my heart, I didn't know what was going on, I just felt my nose sour, and a thought came out of nowhere, just like I had just met my father.

I raised my head, looked at my father, and asked, "Dad, this is ......" I didn't dare to go any further, even if I vaguely guessed, but I wished it wasn't what I thought.

Father nodded and said lightly, "That's right." It's your mom. ”

"Boom", my head "buzzed", even though I was mentally prepared, but when I heard my father's words, I was still hit very hard, at this moment, my heart seemed to be blocked by something, and I couldn't breathe.

I looked at the woman in the black and white photo in a daze, my mom! She has no color photos, but she still can't hide her beauty during her lifetime.

My father stepped forward and put a stick of incense in front of my mother's black-and-white photo, and I followed and put on the incense. After the incense, my father stared at the black and white photo of my mother in a daze, and my father seemed to be a different person, his radiant spirit was completely gone, but fell into a deep melancholy.

I never met my mother, nor did I get the desirable motherly love. But even if I only see the photos, I will have a lot of emotions, for example, I haven't seen my father for more than ten years, and suddenly seeing my father will still arouse my heart, after all, she is my mother, the mother who gave me life.

My father looked at my mother's photos in a daze, as if he was ringing out of his previous life with my mother, the bits and pieces of being together, and it can be seen from his current reaction that even if he has more than ten wives, his favorite must be my mother, which is what I can feel.

In the end, I couldn't help myself and asked, "Dad, why did my mother leave?" ”

I thought that when I saw my father, I would be able to see my mother again, so that our family could be reunited, but I didn't expect that my mother was no longer there, which was really the biggest regret for me.

When my father heard my words, he still looked at my mother's photo in a daze, and did not respond to me, he was still immersed in the past with my mother, and for a long, long time, my father exhaled and said: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you about this, but she is your mother, you are her son, you have grown up, you have the right to know." ”

The father paused, and then said: "In the past, your mother was a maid of the Zhang family, her family was very poor, her parents sold her to the Zhang family when she was very young, and I was very young at that time, I saw that she was beautiful, so I came into contact with her, I never thought that I would be the head of the family, so there is no difference between the master and the subordinate with her." ”

"Over time, I developed a relationship with her, she was my first woman, and then for various reasons, the head of the family at that time, that is, your grandfather, regarded me as a candidate for the head of the family, I didn't know it at first, and personally checked my marriage. I was forced to marry another woman and have children with another woman. ”

"But my relationship with your mother is still not broken, she said that she understands me, from the moment she fell in love with me, she was ready for me to be more than just a woman, because I am the head of the big family in the future, I am destined to be different from ordinary people, I am very pleased, I didn't expect your mother to be so generous, I love her more."

"Later, your mother became pregnant and gave birth to you. The reason why I didn't marry your mother at the beginning was because your mother was humble, and many elders in the family did not agree, saying that I could marry many women, but I had to marry the right one, I just said, your mother is very generous, and she doesn't mind if I can't marry her, she said, I have always had her in my heart, and your mother's generosity. But it deepened my guilt for her. ”

"After your mother gave birth to you, I went to negotiate with your grandfather, I thought your mother had the capital to marry me, but your grandfather said, the child can stay, I still can't marry your mother, your grandfather knows that I love your mother very much, I am afraid that I will forget my identity because of this, so I will drive your mother out of the Zhang family, your grandfather is the head of the family, no one can resist him, including me."

"In desperation, your mother left, but what I didn't expect was that before your mother left, she actually took you away, which made your grandfather very angry, and your grandfather sent someone to your mother's house to bring you back, your mother's house, that is, the village where you lived since childhood, when your grandfather sent someone to find you, I knew that you were abducted."

"When the Zhang family was sent out, many people were looking for you. But the traffickers have already taken you away from Liangguang, and the Zhang family's sphere of influence is only limited to Liangguang, which is why they didn't find you. "Speaking of which, my father got caught up in the old past again, and he blamed himself for not finding me.

Seeing that my father suddenly stopped. I couldn't wait to ask, "And then?" And then what happened? ”

The father sighed deeply and said sadly: "Your grandfather knew that he couldn't get you back, so he went to your mother and said that if your mother hadn't taken you away from the Zhang family, you wouldn't have been arrested, under the persecution of the Zhang family and the grief of you being taken away." Your mom didn't take the pressure and committed suicide in the end. ”

After listening to my father's words, I was stunned, no wonder my father didn't plan to tell me these things before, it turned out that my mother couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide.

The father's eyes were red and he continued: "Now you know why you were abducted and trafficked in the village ditch, in the end, I blame all this, I am useless, I have no ability, I failed to protect your mother, I can only leave this dilapidated house and let people come and clean it every day." Because there are traces of your mother's stay, and this is also the place where we lived in the first place, I can only use this to atone for my sins, Zhang Ming, you hate me. ”

I stared at the picture of my mother, I can imagine that my mother must have been in pain at that time, she couldn't be with my dad, and I became her only sustenance, but in the end I was abducted, and she suffered a double blow.

But I don't hate my father, my father can't help himself, he couldn't do anything at that time, he must have been very uncomfortable, over the years, my mother is definitely his heart disease, I can guess from the fact that he left this house, and I believe that my mother definitely does not regret having a deep relationship with my father.

I don't hate my father, but I hate my grandfather who was the head of the family, I hate him for breaking up my father and my mother, if it weren't for him, my father and my mother would be very happy, and I would be able to reunite with my parents.

But it's all gone. No matter how much I blame, I looked at the picture of my mother and asked my father, "Dad, what kind of woman is my mother?" ”

My memory of my mom is blank, and I would love to get to know my mom.

When my father heard me, he suddenly became focused. For a moment, my father seemed to think of something happy, and said with a slight smile: "Your mother is a very gentle and kind-hearted person, she is an angel." ”

My heart fluttered, and it seemed that my father loved my mother more than I had ever imagined. My mom was so perfect in his eyes that I couldn't help but ask, "Dad, what would you do if you were given another chance to choose?" With that, I raised my head and stared at my father closely.

Father's eyes flickered, his body trembled obviously, he took a deep breath, and let out an extremely hoarse voice: "If I am given another chance, I will not be cowardly, I will protect your mother and not let your mother be hurt in the slightest." ”

My father said this as if hysterically.

I don't know if this statement is true or false. I don't know if I can really do it all over again, whether my father dares to resist in front of my grandfather, I don't care about these, it's just that my father has a word.

Seeing my father so uncomfortable, I didn't say more, just stood quietly next to him. Accompany him and look at my mother's photos together.

After spending a long time in this quiet environment, my father and I walked out of the old room, and before leaving, I took one last look at the picture of my mother, and I deeply engraved the appearance of my mother in my mind.

Sitting on the four-wheeled electric car, my father suddenly asked again: "After returning to Zhang's house, do you have any plans to do anything?" ”
