In less than two weeks, due to the loss of two relatives in succession, Chen Shuwan could not bear the blow and fell ill, and after the doctor's diagnosis, she had suffered from severe depression.

In recent days, debt collectors have been coming to the door, Shen Qianqian not only has to take care of her mother, but also has to devote energy to deal with these people, and the huge pressure makes her breathless.

In desperation, Shen Qianqian could only hand over the family's house as a mortgage, because her mother's condition was not suitable for discharge, so she prepared some daily necessities to accompany here.

Just like at this moment, looking at her mother, who was originally gentle and considerate, became so haggard, making her originally plump and moving figure quickly lose weight, like a hibiscus that had lost its moisture and was dry and fragile.

Due to the torture of depression, Chen Shuwan can no longer eat or sleep, and can only rely on nutrient solutions to maintain her life, and she has to take tranquilizers every two hours, and frequent needle, making her slender arms full of bruises left by needle holes.

The effect of the tranquilizer was still there, and the mother seemed quite quiet at the moment, her expression was neither happy nor sad, and her eyes were dull and looking at the ceiling.

Shen Qianqian stopped massaging her mother's hands, and asked her to fold the quilt with a gentle movement.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the ward, and then a female nurse walked into the room, came to Chen Shuwan's bed, and began to do a basic examination.

"The patient has a normal body temperature and a normal heart." The female nurse said while examining, "The patient's condition is quite stable, but the CT scan in the morning found that your mother has a lot of fluid in her kidneys, and our hospital recommends surgery as soon as possible." ”

Hearing the nurse's description, Shen Qianqian's pupils shrank suddenly, and she had not slept for many days, making her whole person look a little trance, and after a while, she gradually woke up and asked anxiously: "Nurse, is it dangerous to have surgery?" ”

"Surgery is risky, but your mother's disease is not too complicated, and then the surgery will be performed by Dr. Li, an expert from our hospital, so I believe there will be no big problem."

Hearing the nurse's words, Shen Qianqian's mood gradually calmed down, but the nurse's next words made her heart heavy again.

"In a while, you will go to the payment office to pay the fee first, and the medical expenses for today and yesterday have not been paid, please pay the fee as soon as possible." After the female nurse finished speaking, she turned and left.

When it came to the issue of medical expenses, Shen Qianqian suddenly frowned.

Shen Qianqian's previous money was mostly repaid, and now the house is also mortgaged, she can't go out to work now, the hospital has huge expenses every day, and the money in her card can only support a few days.

But now, my mother has hydronephrosis again, and for the sake of my mother's health, she must have surgery immediately, but whether the money in her card can cover the cost of surgery is also a question.

Even if she can support the completion of the operation, but the post-operative recuperation, as well as the mother's depression, is absolutely not suitable for discharge now, who should she go to borrow money from?

After thinking about it, Shen Qianqian realized that after graduating from college for so many years, she had never looked for a job, her main life revolved around her grandson, and she had never made any friends at all.

Shen Qianqian couldn't help laughing at herself, she was so stupid in the past, so stupid that she married him against her parents' wishes, so stupid that she just wanted to please him after marriage, so stupid that she simply had no ego.

"Qianqian~"

Just when Shen Qianqian fell into self-blame, her mother's voice instantly pulled her back, secretly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then raised her head and asked nervously, "Mom, is there anything uncomfortable?" ”

Feeling her daughter's concern, Chen Shuwan shook her head, and her voice was a little hoarse and short because she hadn't spoken for a long time: "Qianqian, mom wants to go home." ”

Hearing her mother's words, Shen Qianqian's heart was extremely sour, thinking about the female nurse's words just now, her mother should have heard it, she just didn't want to embarrass herself.

But the more she was like this, the more she blamed herself in her heart, thinking that her willfulness had led to this scene, Shen Qianqian couldn't wait to slap herself twice.

It has happened, and it is useless to blame herself now, and her priority now is to arrange for her mother to have surgery as soon as possible.

Her mother is her only relative in this world, and she can't afford to lose her anymore no matter what.

Shen Qianqian took her mother's hand and said softly, "Mom, when you recover, we will go home." ”

The words 'go home' completely touched Chen Shuwan's heart, making her heart and soul break, she tried her best to control her emotions in front of her daughter, and showed an extremely reluctant smile on her face: "Qianqian, mom is fine, take mom home to see, your dad and Shengsheng's things, I want to prepare them in advance." ”

"Okay." Shen Qianqian promised: "When you finish the operation, I will accompany you home." ”

Chen Shuwan shook her head and spoke again: "The house is about to be repossessed, and I am worried that things will be disposed of by them, and that is the only thought they left for our mother and son." ”

Shen Qianqian understood her mother's words, she sucked her sour nose, nodded and said, "That's it, your body needs to rest now, I'll go home by myself and bring back my father and brother's things." ”

"Qianqian." Chen Shuwan looked at her daughter's tired pale face, took her in her arms distressedly, and said quietly: "Mom wants to take a last look at our home." ”

There will be no more chances.

This sentence was tacitly understood by both of them, and saying it only added to the sadness.

After consulting the doctor, Shen Qianqian took Chen Shuwan home, everything at home has not changed, maybe it is because there is no popularity for many days, adding a sense of coldness and loneliness.

Shen Qianqian helped her mother to sit down in front of the sofa, poured a glass of water for her personally, and watched her drink it little by little, before she spoke: "Mom, are you hungry?" If you want something to eat, I'll make it for you myself. ”

Before Shen Qianqian got married, she actually never went to the kitchen, because her parents were reluctant, they felt that their daughter was pampered and their son was poor, so they were reluctant to let her have a little hard work.

But after getting married, in order to take care of her grandson, she gave up the piano she had always liked, signed up for a cooking class in her free time, and worked hard to learn to cook.

In the past, there were servants in the house, and she was hardly needed, but now there are only their mother and daughter in the house, and she wants to cook a hearty meal for her mother herself.

"What will you do?"

Thinking that her mother was worried that she wouldn't be able to do it, Shen Qianqian hurriedly said: "I signed up to learn to cook before, and I have been practicing, although now I can't compare with Zhang's mother, but it's also very good~"

Zhang's mother was the cook of their family before, but because of the debt problem, Shen Qianqian had let her leave.

Chen Shuwan noticed her daughter's hands, she used to like to play the piano, so she took great care of these hands, but now she looks at it, and there are many small burn marks on her slender and green hands.

Seeing this, Chen Shuwan couldn't help but cry again.

Seeing that her mother was suddenly excited, Shen Qianqian was frightened, she hurriedly stepped forward and hugged her mother's shoulders and comforted: "Mom, don't worry, I will always be by your side in the future." ”

Chen Shuwan wiped away her tears, reached out to stroke her daughter's soft hair, and said softly: "Silly child, Mom is fine, but I am excited when I get home." ”

After listening to her mother's explanation, Shen Qianqian suddenly felt relieved.

Chen Shuwan gently stroked her daughter's face, her eyes were glowing with a soft luster, and her voice was very soft and slow: "You have been working very hard to take care of your mother these days, don't cook today, your mother wants to eat Zhang Ji's shrimp ball dumplings now, you can help your mother go out and buy some." ”

Faced with her mother's request, Shen Qianqian was very relieved, her mother had an appetite to eat, indicating that her depression had improved, and she agreed immediately.

"Mom, you wait for me at home, I'll be back soon." Shen Qianqian changed her shoes at the entrance, and did not forget to turn around and tell her mother.

Chen Shuwan looked at her daughter with deep eyes, remembering the determination in her heart, her heart suddenly felt bitter, she nodded, and said, "Okay." ”

Shen Qianqian picked up her bag and came to the door, and just as she was about to close the door, she heard her mother's call to her, she quickly turned around and asked, "Mom, do you have any other instructions?" ”

Chen Shuwan didn't answer, but stared at her with an extremely sad and reluctant look, and just when the uneasiness in Shen Qianqian's heart was getting bigger and bigger, she heard her say softly: "Qianqian, you must be careful on the road." ”

Her mother's actions made Shen Qianqian's heart beat faster, and she didn't let go until she heard her mother's words, nodded and said, "You take a rest at home, I'll be back soon." ”

"Okay."

Seeing her mother return to normal, Shen Qianqian closed the door.

Out of the community, Shen Qianqian thought that Zhang Ji's shop was far away from here, and wanted to save money and walk there, but soon found that it was unrealistic, so she gritted her teeth and called a roadside taxi.

The car drove for more than half an hour and finally stopped in front of Zhang Kee's dumpling shop.

Looking at the long queue at the door of the store, Shen Qianqian remembered that today was the weekend, and although she was anxious, she could only follow the line.

When she finally paid the money and left, she found that more than an hour had passed, and thinking of her mother who was alone at home, she hurriedly quickened her pace.

When she arrived at the gate of the community and got out of the car, she suddenly noticed that the originally clean community was crowded with people, and the sound of discussion was mixed with the sound of car horns, and the whole scene was very chaotic and noisy.

Seals were pasted around the entrance of the community, and people could only stand outside the seals, Shen Qianqian blended in the crowd, pulled a middle-aged woman next to her and asked, "Auntie, what is going on here?" ”

In the face of Shen Qianqian's question, the middle-aged woman directly gave full play to her gossip expertise and said endlessly: "I heard that someone died in this community, and now the police are inside~"

Hearing this, Shen Qianqian's heart panicked, and the first thing she thought of was her mother, but then she thought about it, there were still many residents in the community, and she calmed down and asked, "Who died?" ”

"I heard that it was a woman, about 40 years old, and you said that she lived in such a big house, what else could she not think of......"

Shen Qianqian's whole person seemed to be frozen in place, and the blood in her whole body seemed to be coagulated, she couldn't listen to the words of the aunt in the back, she just wanted to confirm as soon as possible whether the person who died was her mother.

As soon as he wanted to cross the cordon, he was stopped by a stern voice: "This young lady, our police are handling the case inside, and now no one can enter here, please cooperate." ”

Shen Qianqian's face was bloodless, she hurriedly grabbed the arm of the case-handling officer, and said in a begging tone: "This comrade, my mother is home alone now, I am very worried, please be accommodating and let me in!" ”

The case officer looked at her and asked, "Where do you live?" ”

"My family lives in the westernmost villa."

After listening to her description, the case-handling personnel frowned, looked at Shen Qianqian's eyes full of sympathy, and sighed: "This young lady, I want to tell you a very unfortunate fact, the scene of the crime is ...... In the westernmost villa. ”

'Boom-'

Shen Qianqian only felt a thunderbolt fall, her brain suddenly went blank, and a heart-wrenching coldness rushed to her face, mixed with the waves of the storm and rain instantly overwhelmed her.
