Chapter 8: Showdown
Seeing Liang Bin sitting on the sofa smoking with a sad face, and seeing them come back without saying a word, Zhang Ming couldn't help asking:
"What's wrong?"
"Dad doesn't know where to go."
"What's Daddy missing? When was this? ”
Hearing that her father-in-law was gone, although Zhang Ming was a little worried in her heart, what she revealed more was a little unbelievable joy.
However, she didn't show it, and still asked with a very worried look.
"It was half an hour ago. Dad said he was going to go out for a walk, so I went upstairs to change my clothes, and when I came out again, there would be no one.
I went around the neighborhood and didn't see my father, and I looked for it nearby, but there was none.
Dad's physical strength is not good now, and I'm worried that he won't be able to come back when he's far away. ”
"Did you call your phone?"
"Hit, shut down."
"Although Dad's physical strength is not good, but his head is not confused, he really can't walk, so he will turn on the phone and call you, and then he can take a taxi back.
It should be fine, let's wait at home, if another hour later, Dad hasn't come back, we'll call the police and see if someone from the police station can help me find it.
After all, there are monitors near the community, and when the time comes, it will be clear where Dad went. ”
Hearing Zhang Ming say this, Liang Bin also nodded with a sense of reason, and his heart was not as anxious as before.
Sending Taotao upstairs, Zhang Ming changed into pajamas, and then walked down again, and said to Liang Bin, who was a little worried:
"While Dad is away, I'll tell you something."
"What's the matter?"
"Tao Tao's business."
"What's wrong with Taotao?"
Zhang Ming then told Taotao's situation in the past two days, as well as her worries.
However, when Liang Bin heard Zhang Ming say that his father would deliberately scare Taotao every day, he said in disbelief:
"Dad usually hurts Taotao the most, how can he scare the child.
Don't talk nonsense. ”
"Am I talking nonsense? This is what Tao Tao told me, besides, how is Dad's mental state now, I don't believe you don't have any numbers in your heart.
From the time he got sick to the time he was discharged from the hospital, it was almost ten days, and he was almost the same every day.
Sometimes, I think he's not a dad, but just a person who looks like him. ”
Zhang Ming was not compromising this time, after all, it involved the growth of children, so she had to explain it to Liang Bin.
Liang Bin lit another cigarette at this time, and after taking two deep breaths in a row, he raised his head again and said:
"Dad has changed, and he doesn't look like him anymore.
Suspicious, suspicious, irritable, anxious, almost completely swallowed up by negative emotions.
But aren't all patients like that?
Which patient have you ever seen who has the same psychology as a normal person?
As for Dad's illness, it hurts and collapses in ordinary people, but does Dad say the word "pain" to us?
The old man's life is not easy, and he doesn't enjoy any blessings when he gets old.
He only has a few days left, the good and the bad, let's be tolerant and tolerant. ”
"I can tolerate, I can, but what about Taotao?
And don't think so badly about me, my dad is your dad and my father-in-law, and he used to be very good to me.
But one yard is one yard, I'm not here to find trouble, let alone quarrel with you, I just want us to work on a way together.
See how you can avoid this.
Do you talk to your dad, or do you and my child move out for a few days. ”
"Move out for a few days?" Liang Bin suddenly became a little annoyed:
"Then didn't you tell Dad that you don't want to live with him!"
"What are you yelling at me, didn't I discuss it with you?"
Being yelled at by Liang Bin like this, Zhang Ming's emotions also became a little excited, in fact, she was not afraid of being wronged, but what she couldn't stand was that Liang Bin didn't understand her at all.
Liang Bin was silent again, obviously feeling that he was a little uncalm just now, and after a while, he said again:
"Dad goes to Taotao every day, maybe he feels that he is leaving, he wants to see Taotao more, and he is reluctant to have children.
No matter how mentally abnormal Dad is, he can't do anything to his child.
So I can't talk to my dad about this, otherwise I'll let my dad stay away from Taotao, what's the difference between this and kicking him out?
It's better to enlighten and enlighten the waves, the child is really spoiled by you.
His grandfather was so good to him, he bought whatever he wanted, but in the end he said that his grandfather was not good.
That's not a good thing.
It's really not good, you sleep with Taotao, and I'll sleep on the sofa for a few days. ”
Zhang Ming was a little unhappy, Liang Bin said that the child had a problem, but he opened his mouth and didn't refute anything, after all, Taotao was indeed a little not very sensible.
"Then you can sleep on the sofa tonight, and I'll accompany the child."
The human psyche is always fickle.
Even if you are extremely firm in your belief that you are dealing with something, someone, you will never change your original intention. But with the passage of time, as you are affected by changes in the outside world, you will eventually forget your original intention.
Zhang Ming is now the best example of this.
She thought she would understand her father-in-law and tolerate her father-in-law until the day her father-in-law left.
But today, she suddenly found that her mind had changed.
Even living with her father-in-law for a day is a kind of torment for her.
At around 7 o'clock in the evening, just when Liang Bin was about to go to the nearby police station to report the case, his father came back with a small bag of sesame seeds.
Liang Bin asked him where his father had gone, and his father didn't say much, carrying the small bag of sesame seeds, and went upstairs back to the room.
The night was getting deeper unconsciously.
Liang Bin watched the TV listlessly, and the ashtray was already stuffed with cigarette butts.
He got up and went to the kitchen to wash his face, then went back to the couch, turned off the TV, and fell asleep a few moments later.
I don't know how long he slept, but he heard a string of very "haha" laughter in a daze, coming down from upstairs.
He didn't care, after all, his dad would be like this these days.
That very fake laugh.
After all, no one is going to laugh all the time.
That would just make people feel silly.
He covered his head with a quilt and fell asleep again a short time later.
I don't know when the laughter is gone.
The room was restored to the dead silence that should have been in the middle of the night.
But at this moment, a series of gentle door knocks faintly came into Zhang Ming's ears.
Zhang Ming didn't open his eyes at first, until the sound of the door became clearer.
She sat up from the bed, and Tao Tao slept beside her, still sleeping soundly, unaffected by the sound of the door coming in from outside.
"Husband?"
Zhang Ming sat up from the bed, then looked at the door and asked subconsciously.
However, the door still "knocked" softly.
Zhang Ming was suddenly a little scared, because if the people outside were not Liang Bin, who would they be?
Then it will only be one person.
That's her father-in-law.
She shuddered at the thought that her father-in-law was standing outside the door at this time, staring at her like a dried corpse, and then knocking on her door.
She didn't dare to open the door, and she didn't ask anything more.
Even though the bedroom door was locked by her, she was still a little uneasy.
She took out her mobile phone and called Liang Bin, but Liang Bin's mobile phone never got through.
And in the hallway.
Under the darkness, a thin figure stood upright in front of the door.
His eyes were staring deadly, and his sunken face looked like a skeleton, and at this moment, like the wooden curtain that struck the bell, it "banged" on the door.
