Meng County, Zhu's mother's home.

The daughter-in-law poured a glass of water for Zhu's mother, and Zhu's mother took a sip and continued to look at the photo album in her hand.

It was the growth album of her granddaughter Jiajia, from just birth to babbling, to swaying to walk, to reading and going to school, more than ten years of time passed in a flash. Looking at the photos taken by her granddaughter on her eighth birthday, Zhu's mother sighed in her heart: "My Jiajia, I don't know if I have endured hardship." ”

"Don't worry, Jia Jiafu has a big life, and it will be fine." The daughter-in-law looked at the sky: "It's not early, you should go back to your room and sleep." Don't the police have brought Jiajia back, but you are always hospitalized because you are sick in a hurry. ”

"I'm dragging you down." Mother Zhu looked at her daughter-in-law: "You can also think about what your mother told you." As a mother-in-law, I naturally want you to stay in this house, but as a mother, I don't want you to stay alone. Our family is over, there is no need to bring you in again. Mom wants you to get divorced, two children, you can bring one if you want, and leave it to Mom if you don't want to. I'll try my best to help you raise it, raise it every day, and when I really can't raise it, you will reach out to help the children. ”

"Mom, what are you talking about?" The daughter-in-law shook her head and took the photo album in Zhu's mother's hand.

"Mom told you seriously, this matter can't be delayed. My son...... You're still young, and it's easy to find without children to drag you down. Mom is not in a hurry to let you express your position, you think about it carefully, just talk to Mom when you think about it. No matter what you decide, Mom doesn't blame you. Mom is telling the truth! ”

"I know you're sincere, and I haven't questioned your sincerity." The daughter-in-law held Zhu's mother's hand: "The affairs of the family have nothing to do with you, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, they are all adults, and every step they take is their own choice." Don't take it on yourself. Mom, I'm not in a hurry, I'll think about it when it's time to think about it. Alright, it's not too early, you can go back to the house and go to sleep. ”

"You go back to your room and sleep, Mom is fine." Mother Zhu shook her daughter-in-law's hand: "It's late, early tomorrow morning, you still have to go to work at the unit." ”

Seeing that she couldn't persuade Zhu's mother, her daughter-in-law could only stand up: "Then you should go to bed early." ”

"Alright, let's go." Mother Zhu stroked the photo album on the coffee table, her eyes were red. Looking closely, her face was even more haggard than in the previous two days, and there was not only a sick breath under her skin, but also a dead breath.

Ever since she beat her youngest daughter Julie, she has been thinking about whether she is wrong, whether she is unworthy of being a mother, and whether she can't teach her children. Later, the eldest daughter also had an accident, and the son-in-law was arrested, followed by the son. This family seems to have lost its luck and will never get better again.

She also wants to die, death is nothing for an elderly man, and it is even more of a blessing for their family, but she can't die, she still has grandchildren, granddaughters and granddaughters to take care of. But now, her granddaughter is missing, no one alive, no body is dead, and she doesn't know what she should do next.

Thinking of this, she glanced at her daughter-in-law's room.

Don't look at what she said lightly just now, in fact, she hopes that her daughter-in-law will stay, hoping that she can support the family with her. But this thought was too selfish, and her conscience did not allow her to do so.

It was eleven o'clock, late at night, and she put away her granddaughter's photo album.

Lying on the bed, my eyes swept over the photos one by one, and the more I swept, the more sad I felt. She closed her eyes and saw the face of her wife, followed by Julili, the eldest daughter, and the youngest son, and they kept dangling in her mind like a marquee.

Since Jiajia disappeared, it has been like this every night, she has been staying up for almost a week, and if she continues to survive, she doesn't know what will happen to her.

"If God lets me die, then I'll die!" Zhu Mu simply opened her eyes and took out another photo album from the drawer next to her. The album was filled with their entire family, and most of the people in the album were gone, leaving only one photo in black and white, or color.

Who would have thought that the white-skinned, big-eyed little girl in the photo would become the starting point of the family's disaster when she grew up, and who would have thought that her eldest daughter would be killed by her honest-looking son-in-law. And her youngest son, why did he go the wrong way?

Tears flowed down Zhu's mother's cheeks, drop by drop, and all fell on the photo.

Just when Zhu's mother couldn't control it and wanted to cry, she heard a knock on the door.

First tentatively, followed by one after another.

"Grandma, are you there? I'm Jiajia, open the door for me. ”

Mother Zhu sat up suddenly, she looked out the door, and her daughter-in-law just walked to the living room.

"Do you hear that? Did you hear that knock on the door? It's Jiajia, I heard Jiajia's voice. Mother Zhu walked out excitedly.

"It's Jiajia, I heard it too. Mom, don't get excited, I'll open the door for Jiajia. The daughter-in-law first helped Zhu's mother to the sofa, walked quickly to the back of the door, and held the handle with her hand.

"Jiajia, is that you?"

"Aunt, it's me, I'm Jiajia, I'm back, you hurry up and open the door for me."

Jiajia's voice was anxious.

Mother Zhu was also very anxious and kept urging her daughter-in-law.

The daughter-in-law hesitated, her pupils meeting the cat's eyes.

It was pitch black outside, and nothing could be seen.

"Open the door! Are you stupid, kid? Mother Zhu couldn't wait and stood up from the sofa: "If you don't open it, I'll open it!" What time is it, and when are you going to let my poor Jiajia wait outside? ”

"Mom, it's eleven o'clock, how could Jiajia come back at this time." The daughter-in-law put her eyes on the cat's eye again.

This time, she saw a person, a person wrapped in black. The man had his head down, unable to tell if it was a man or a woman.

Jiajia was still banging on the door, shouting while shooting. The man in the cat's eyes didn't move.

The daughter-in-law was a little nervous, and her hand holding the doorknob even trembled a little. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and pressed her ear to the door.

"Jiajia, you tell your aunt, did you come back alone?"

"No, my aunt sent me back."

"Auntie? Where did you meet Auntie? Also, you tell your aunt, where have you been these days? ”

"I'm going to the same school." Jiajia became more and more impatient: "What do you want to ask, can you ask after I go in?" It was late and I didn't want to stay outside the door. ”

"One last word." The daughter-in-law took a deep breath: "If your aunt opens the door for you, will we be in danger?" Jiajia, grandmother, aunt, and younger siblings are all at home, do you understand what your aunt said? ”

"Auntie is a good person, she won't harm you." Jiajia patted the door: "If you don't open the door again, I will leave with my aunt and never come back." ”

Before the daughter-in-law could make a decision, Mother Zhu rushed over, she pushed her daughter-in-law away, clicked, and opened the door completely!
