Xu Mei's mother and son live in the suite in the market town, although life is quite peaceful, but Xu Mei's mood is always not calm, and she always feels that her family luck is not good and she loses, so she has been frowning and locking, and has never laughed heartily, which makes her look much older, with obvious wrinkles and bags under her eyes, and a lock of eye-catching white hair growing in the green silk gap on her head.

Later, she became diabetic and almost spent all her savings from selling the apartment, and she still did not recover. So she simply stopped taking medicine so much, dragged it hard, couldn't stand it, and also caused eye disease, no money for diagnosis, she cried all day long, tears all day long, resulting in blindness in both eyes.

Shi Lan saw his mother stumbling when she walked, he didn't help her as a guide so obediently, but only cared about playing by himself, and when he didn't have anything to eat when he was eating, he called his mother, and his mother was touching and cooking, and the rice was not cooked, so he yelled to eat when he was hungry.

That time, my mother fell down while cooking, and Shi Lan cried when she saw it, but she didn't know how to help her. Xu Mei touched it, and did not continue to cook, but found a rope, touched a chair, and put it under the window, but stood up, put the rope on the wooden railing at the top of the window, tied a button, and slowly stretched her neck into it until the buckle was covered.

She finally said to Shi Lan, who stopped crying, child, my mother is old and incapable of taking care of you, you can cook this meal by yourself, and your mother is leaving.

As soon as the words fell, Xu Mei kicked over the chair under her feet, and her neck was tied by the rope, and under the window, her body rubbed and stumbled for a while, and then her eyes rolled white, her black face tilted, and her purple tongue spit out a large section from her half-open mouth, and she stopped moving.

Shi Lan, who was dumbfounded, ran over, hugged his mother and shouted, but when his mother didn't respond, Shi Lan cried. The cry alarmed the neighbors, and a woman poked her head into the door and shouted, no, no, Sister-in-law Xu is looking for a short circuit and hanging her neck!

Immediately, the woman pulled away the crying Shi Lan, and Ma Li untied the rope around Xu Mei's neck, and when she touched Xu Mei's nostrils, she was already out of breath, and the person had passed. The woman kept complaining about Shi Lan, why did she see that your mother couldn't come out to call someone for a short circuit? Shi Lan still cried as if he hadn't heard.

At this time, a group of people from the neighborhood came, knowing that Shi Lan was a stupid son who couldn't do anything, so they did their best for Xu Mei's future.

After the death of his mother, Shi Lan could not take care of himself. There is a man named Zou Haoshi in the neighborhood who is usually kind and charitable, and when he saw Shi Lan's situation, he discussed with his family, and every time he had breakfast, noon and dinner, he would cook an extra meal and ask Shi Lan to come over to eat.

His wife Hu Qin began to disagree, on the grounds that if there is one more person to eat, there will be one more expense, and it is okay to help others once or twice, and the financial resources will not be able to do anything about it for a long time.

She often picks up waste, doing waste into treasure without a business, that is, picking up some rags and handing them over to the scrap collection station in the market town for money to supplement the family, in fact, it is very difficult to make money in this way, long-term dealing with waste products, it is rare to wear a clean clothes, and most of the waste products are messy and deteriorated, and the process of sorting and sorting them is indispensable, so it is inevitable to be infected with bacteria. It often makes my hands itchy, red and swollen, and in severe cases, it can also be infected on my body.

If she is too particular or sour, she can't do anything, so she feels that work and life are difficult, and there are two children at home, both of whom are minors, and the burden is large, and there will be more pressure to eat with one more person.

Hu Qin told Zou Haoshi about the analysis of the situation, Zou Haoshi saw that Shi Lan had a big waist and a round waist, so he said hypothetically, Shi Lan is a little mentally retarded, if there is a personal guide, he is quite good at doing things, you see that his body is so good that he can kill the bull. Hu Qin was still frowning, Zou Haoshi looked at her and said, Well done, Shi Lan is still your helper in scavenging.

When Hu Qin heard this, her eyes lit up, and she looked Shi Lan up and down, his figure was a little taller than Zou Haoshi, who was only 1.68 meters, about 1.7 meters, would he be able to work after training? Don't jump to conclusions, Hu Qin wants to give it a try.

After calling Shi Lan to the house for dinner, Hu Qin took him out and went to the door of an opening ceremony to clean up the red, red, green and green cylindrical cardboard shells scattered all over the ground with a salute, he went, and picked it up with a smile, but he picked up a lot, picked up a lot, but didn't know how to gather together, and finally like a monkey breaking the bud valley, I don't know how much he broke, but there was only one at hand. Hu Qin couldn't cry or laugh, so she still had to get it herself.

During the meal, Hu Qin said to Zou Haoshi that Shi Lan was a waste. Then tell me about his scavenging. Zou Haoshi pondered for a moment and said, he is a wasted person, our family needs to take care of it, and we must turn waste into treasure!

People also turn waste into treasure? Hu Qin asked puzzled.

Zou Haoshi continued, you will let Shi Lan do some simple things in the future, such as you put the waste into a pile and let him sit there and sort it. Hu Qin did as Zou Haoshi said, but she was very angry when she asked Shi Lan to classify the waste, and she had already taught her how to do it, how to put the scrap metal together with the scrap metal in the first step, and then put iron into iron, copper into copper, and aluminum into aluminum......

He just didn't know, he could only put the iron into a pile, and it took too long, to put it simply, it took him three or four hours to finish what ordinary people spent half an hour, and he sat and stood there, twisted his ass and looked around, always smiling like a laughing demon. I didn't care about the progress of the work at all, but focused on the way of playing.

Hu Qin was a little annoyed, but considering that he had no mental retardation, he told him to go away and let his children come over to help, and it only took half an hour to finish the work that Shi Lan had not finished all morning.

It's autumn, the wind blows, and the leaves fall all over the ground. Of course, on sunny days, the weather is still hot, especially at noon, and you have to loosen your clothes when walking on the road. Shi Lan didn't do anything right, and since he was called away that day, Hu Qin never asked him to help with things, and he didn't care about him.

During the meal, Zou Haoshi asked, she sent someone or personally went out to find Shi Lan to come over for dinner, if her husband was not at home, she didn't bother to find Shi Lan who was wandering outside during the meal.

One day after lunch, a villager said to Hu Qin, who came out with a greasy mouth, you know what? Shi Lan wandered alone in the field, the weather was hot, maybe thirsty, he held the water in the field ditch to drink. Hu Qin didn't squeak, and the villager said that the water in the ditch was undrinkable, and it flowed out of the field where pesticides were applied, so it was strange if it wasn't poisoned?

Hearing this, Hu Qin began to not care. A few days later, probably the fourth day, she smelled a foul smell, as if it was wafting from Shi Lan's house with the door half-hidden, so she pushed open the door and saw a fat maggot rolling on the threshold.

She looked into the room, a foul smell wafted with a gust of wind, choking her back a few steps, she saw Shi Lan's body lying on the sofa, crawling with maggots, his face was pitted, black and broken, clearly bitten by rats.

How did Shi Lan die? She suddenly remembered what the villager had said, and Shi Lan drank the dirty water that had been sprayed with pesticides from the field.
