Chapter 6: Becoming Strange

Zhang Ming felt that her father-in-law was becoming more and more strange.

Not only will they often say something that makes people feel inexplicable, but even in their behavior, they also feel grotesque.

Even fear.

Because since her father-in-law came to her house after he left the hospital, every time in the middle of the night, at two or three o'clock in the morning, there would be very loud laughter from his bedroom.

At first, she and her husband didn't feel anything after being woken up by her father-in-law's laughter.

After all, the pain that the elderly endure every day is far from what they can imagine.

Watching TV to relieve boredom can also transfer some pain.

That's why when the old man moves in, they put a TV in his room.

But after many days of her father-in-law's laughter, she felt that something was wrong.

Especially the night before, after she was woken up by laughter, she couldn't fall back asleep for a long time.

She went out to the bathroom, because the toilet was close to the staircase, just enough to pass by her father-in-law's room.

And when she passed by her father-in-law's door that day, she noticed that her father-in-law's bedroom door was not completely closed, but opened slightly.

Because the sound like a giggle kept coming from inside, she was also a little curious about what her father-in-law was looking at.

In the middle of the night, how could there be such a funny show on TV.

In fact, it's not been a day or two since she's curious.

Although she also asked her husband to visit before, her husband was perfunctory every time, and fell asleep again after a while.

So no one knows what her father-in-law laughed at.

So she leaned over with a light step, intending to sneak a look.

As she got closer, the laughter coming from the bedroom didn't go away.

She propped one hand on the wall next to the door, then leaned over slightly, peering through the crack in the door.

The room was pitch black, and the TV wasn't turned on at all, just when she wondered what her father-in-law was laughing at since he hadn't watched TV.

The shrill laughter suddenly disappeared.

The world suddenly fell silent, and her heart beat faster.

But before she could pull out, the bedroom door was slammed inside, revealing her father-in-law's creepy face.

Protruding cheekbones, sunken cheeks, skin as dark as a dried corpse, and the eyes that were staring at him deadly.

She was so frightened that she let out an "ah", and her body instinctively took two steps back.

But before she could say anything, the muscles on her father-in-law's face suddenly twitched stiffly.

Then he opened his mouth wide, his eyes were full of fierceness, and he laughed very deliberately at the big "hahaha".

She was frightened, but her father-in-law had laughed a few more times, then closed the door and did nothing.

But even so, she was still scared out of a cold sweat.

That night, she told Liang Bin about it.

However, after Liang Bin heard it, he only symbolically comforted her a few words, and as for the reason for the comfort, it still sounded reasonable and old-fashioned.

"Dad is a sick person, and he is old, even if he is noisy and noisy, he can still make trouble for a few days, so you can take care of it more, don't be the same as him."

Every time she told Liang Bin about her father-in-law, Liang Bin would show that his father was a patient and let her correct her mentality.

Although she didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of the words was very clear, and it was obvious that she was a little suspicious of her for doing too much.

feels that his father only has a few days to live, and she can't be at least tolerant, and she is not a filial daughter-in-law.

She actually really wanted to ignore it and quarrel with Liang Bin.

Because Liang Bin wronged her.

No one knows what she thinks better than she does.

Is she disgusted that her father-in-law doesn't sleep at night and makes such a big noise to make them sleep?

She is disgusted, she gets up every morning and cooks porridge for her father-in-law, and is she still looked at by her father-in-law with a good face?

None of these are any!

She just felt that her father-in-law was very strange now.

It's weird to the point of being weird.

And it's not just her who feels this way, but also her son Taotao.

Tao Tao would always tell him these days that as long as he woke up, he could see his grandfather, squatting beside his bed and staring at him.

He didn't believe it at first, thinking it was a child's nonsense.

But in the past two days, she went to the kindergarten to pick up Taotao home, and the kindergarten teachers also reported to her, saying that Taotao, who was lively in the past, was always sullen in the past two days, as if she was frightened, and she didn't like to talk anymore.

And every time she took Taotao home, Taotao cried and didn't want to come back.

He was terrified of his grandfather.

Her father-in-law used to love Taotao the most, and he was used to Taotao's habitual disappearance, and Taotao used to love to play with his grandfather, so if he didn't have a reason, he couldn't be so afraid of his grandfather.

Coupled with his experience that night, I think her father-in-law should really be like Taotao said, running to Taotao's room in the middle of the night to scare him.

No matter how her father-in-law treats her badly now, she can bear it.

is not to say that it is the duty of being a daughter-in-law, but that she can think of her father-in-law's kindness to her before, and secondly, it is to consider that her father-in-law is a patient whose life is about to come to an end.

But it doesn't mean that she has no bottom line at all.

As for this bottom line, it is her son Taotao.

After all, Tao Tao is still young, an age that is ignorant of everything, but his body and mind are affected by everything.

It can be said that most of a person's psychological structure is completed before the age of 10.

Like when children are young, they are always beaten and scolded by their parents, and when they grow up, they are either extremely vindictive or have low self-esteem.

When you grow up, when you encounter something, in addition to causing great harm and danger, otherwise no matter how serious it is, you will forget it for a while.

But when you were young, it was an adult who scared you and said that it would kill you, and you would remember it for the rest of your life.

Become a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

So her father-in-law scared the child so much, which has caused a huge shadow on the child.

And when the child grows up, when he thinks of his grandfather and is still full of fear, he will undoubtedly suffer a second psychological trauma.

So she couldn't let that happen anymore.

This issue must be addressed as soon as possible.

But she is a daughter-in-law of this kind of thing, and she can't talk to her father-in-law directly, so she can only let her husband Liang Bin talk about it.

Zhang Ming has already decided in his heart, and when he goes back in a while, he will talk to Liang Bin about it.

She didn't believe that if something went wrong with her son, he would be as indifferent to anything his father did before.

If that's the case, then she has to consider whether to take Taotao to move out of the house temporarily.
