Chapter 5 The Motherless Child 1

Linchen County is a small place, and the medical equipment is not as complete as that of a big place. After a few days of heavy rain, all the ambulances were dispatched to rescue people. Si Qianye drove a police car and took Cheng Xinyuan, Zhao Xunyue, the boy who was about to commit suicide, and others Grandma was sent to the hospital.

The little boy Cui Zhi was fine, but his hands and knees were scratched. When the doctor bandaged him, his grandmother stood beside him, crying and complaining.Si Qianye and Zhao Xunyue watched in the ward, and Cheng Xinyuan went outside to call Cui Zhi's father.

"Yes, everyone is fine, don't worry."

Cui Zhi's father kept apologizing on the phone, but he didn't say he would come back to see his son.Cheng Xinyuan felt sorry for the child and taught him a few more words.

"Mr. Cui, the child's mother is not here, so you should care more about him."

There was silence on the phone for a while, and Cheng Xinyuan continued: "I know you are working outside to make money, but the growth and cultivation of the child is irreversible. He said today that he misses his mother. It must not be a sudden thought. It must have been accumulated for a long time. Today, it broke out. That's all. If you don't come back to accompany him, we saved him today, if this happens again next time, can't we save him?"

Cheng Xinyuan's tone was close to serious, and after thinking for a while, he even responded with a commercial tone and said "Okay, okay".At this time Si Qianye pushed the door out, Cheng Xinyuan told Cui Zhi's father a few more words and hung up the phone.

"The children are all bandaged."

"Oh, okay..." Cheng Xinyuan put away the phone, "His father doesn't care about the child at all. Did his grandma say anything? Why did the child's mother commit suicide?"

"I checked and chatted with his grandma..." Si Qianye looked sad, "Cui Zhi's mother was introduced to marry the Cui family, and she is the eldest in her natal family, and the two younger brothers are taken care of by her family." Not good. After marrying into the Cui family, they couldn't have children for the first few years. In order to have a grandson, the Cui family..."

Si Qianye hesitated to speak, Cheng Xinyuan asked sensitively: "Just what?"

Si Qianye shook his head imperceptibly: "The grandma said it in a rather cryptic way, but I guess, sex|violence|violence within marriage is not ruled out... Later, after giving birth to Cui Zhi, she committed suicide a few years after giving birth."

Cheng Xinyuan was silent, and looked into the room through the crack of the door.Linchen County is a small place, and a small place has both advantages and disadvantages.In addition to the difficult environment, there are stereotypes and bad habits, such as patriarchy, emphasis on family inheritance, etc. Cui Zhi's mother probably committed suicide under the double attack of these two points.People in the city experience postpartum depression and domestic violence, and there are psychiatrists for treatment and legal channels. For women who are persecuted in poor rural areas like Linchen County, seeking death is probably the only relief.

"You go... You call his grandma, and I'll have a word with her."

"Ah."

Cheng Xinyuan looked into the ward tiredly, thinking about how to persuade him later.Si Qianye entered the room and said a few words to the old lady, she quickly wiped away her tears and went out.Zhao Xunyue glanced at them, and then looked towards the door, where Cheng Xinyuan met his eyes just outside the door.

Cheng Xinyuan raised his chin at the little boy, meaning to let Zhao Xunyue take care of the child. Zhao Xunyue lowered his eyes and turned his back on Cheng Xinyuan completely.Cheng Xinyuan gave a "tsk" in his heart, a little unhappy, and waited for Si Qianye and the old lady to come out, and closed the door angrily.

"Grandma, don't cry."

Cheng Xinyuan looked down at the old lady. The corners of her eyes were still red. Si Qianye handed her a tissue. The old lady said, "Thank you so much... Thank you so much, otherwise I... I don't know how to explain to my son... ..."

"This is what we should do." Cheng Xinyuan said sternly, "Although the child has been rescued, he needs his parents after all. His mother is gone, so you should urge your son to let him go home. Money can be earned at any time , the child can..."

The old lady was wiping her tears with a tissue when she heard the police say that her son interrupted, "It's not easy for my son to be outside."

"I didn't say it was easy for him, but I said he had to take care of both. Even if he earns more money, if the child is gone in the end, who will he spend the money on?"

"That's not Lai Xiaozhi's mother... Woohoo, my life is so miserable. I am so old, and I have to take care of my wife and children. If Xiaozhi's mother is here, I can still be so miserable?..."

The grandson was rescued, but the old lady defended her son in a regular manner, but poured dirty water on the suicide daughter-in-law. Cheng Xinyuan couldn't help "tsk", and Si Qianye said: "Grandma, please calm down first!" .”

"I can't calm down, am I not sad? I...who knew that having such a daughter-in-law would not have fulfilled any responsibilities, and would drag us down...Our old couple are so old, what are we trying to do? We don't want our children and grandchildren to be safe ..."

The more the old lady talked, the more excited she became, Si Qianye persuaded: "Yes, please stop crying, stop crying..."

"Ugh!"

Cheng Xinyuan sighed with his hands on his hips, took the initiative to take half a step back, leaving the closest distance to Si Qianye, and leaned on the door frame to stare at the weeping old lady.

At this moment, only Zhao Xunyue and Cui Zhi were left in the ward.The little boy kept his head down, Zhao Xunyue thought about how to comfort him.Unexpectedly, when the old lady went out, it was Cui Zhi who said first: "You..."

"Ok?"

Cui Zhi sat on the hospital bed, with his bandaged hands on his knees.Standing beside him, Zhao Xunyue looked down at the little boy, feeling that he looked even smaller.

"Are you not injured?" Cui Zhi asked in a low voice.

"I do not have."

Zhao Xunyue has a slow personality, so he didn't know how to communicate with Cui Zhi.After he finished his answer, the little boy lowered his head with a look of loss, Zhao Xunyue answered again: "Thank you."

After a while, Cui Zhicai said sullenly, "I thank you..."

He was very depressed, and there was still a sense of calm in his depression.Even though his grandma cried earth-shatteringly, Cui Zhi kept aloof and even guarded. In his mature temperament, he somewhat resembled Zhao Xunyue.He simply sat on the hospital bed opposite the little boy, looked at him and said, "Don't do this next time."

He half-bent, trying to keep an equal distance from Cui Zhi.But Cui Zhi kept his head down all the time, Zhao Xunyue looked at the top of his bulging head, he felt that he might need to touch the child's head at this time to show comfort.He was about to raise his hand when Cui Zhi said again: "...I just miss my mother."

Zhao Xunyue's hand stopped in the air, and finally put it down, and said in silence for a moment: "Mom can't come back, you still have dad."

"...But Dad won't come back."

Zhao Xunyue tried his best to comfort him and said, "He earns money outside so that you can study hard and have a better life for you."

"But I don't want to read."

"...Why don't you want to study? Then what do you want?"

"I want mom."

Zhao Xunyue paused for a moment and had nothing to say.This seems to be an infinite endless loop. The child wants a mother, probably because of an instinct to pursue love, but what he wants will never be realized.The world is a sea of ​​suffering, where there is no evil, only suffering.

"you……"

Just as Zhao Xunyue opened his mouth, Grandma Cui Zhi's voice came from outside the door: "...Our second elder's kindness, if he doesn't want to read it, he wants mom, mom...Why would you want to die if you want mom! Can you see his mom after you die? What's so good about his mother..."

Zhao Xunyue was startled, seeing that veins burst out on Cui Zhi's forehead, and he clenched his small fist tightly on his knee.He also had wounds on his knees, but the wounds were not deep, and only some medicine was applied. At this moment, the wounds seemed to be filled with Cui Zhi's resentment, as if they were about to burst open in a second.

Zhao Xunyue wanted to stretch out a hand to cover Cui Zhi's wound, so that his resentment and anger would not come out.But Cui Zhi suddenly raised a hand and quickly wiped his eyes.Zhao Xunyue knew that he was crying, this child was somewhat similar to his character, stubborn and forbearing.

Zhao Xunyue stood up suddenly, sat up from the stand opposite Cui Zhi, and sat down next to the little boy.When he sat down, the bed beside Cui Zhi was also sunken, Zhao Xunyue couldn't make an intimate gesture of embracing him with one hand, but he also approached him as much as possible and said:

"Me too, without a mother."

"Ok?"

Cui Zhi looked up at him in surprise, his eyes were red, Zhao Xunyue nodded lightly: "Really, my mother also passed away when I was young."

Cui Zhi was very sensitive. He looked at the policeman who did not call himself "uncle" and confirmed that there was no particularly sad expression on his face before he dared to ask: "...why, why?"

The more Zhao Xun guessed, Cui Zhi might want to ask "Why did your mother commit suicide?" He was a little more tactful and only asked "Why". She and her mother passed away one after another, she couldn't bear it, got seriously ill, and left."

Zhao Xunyue's tone was a little sad, he was recalling things from a long time ago, with a long-lasting loneliness and a little bit of bewilderment, as if he was looking for his young self in the memories, then he lowered his head and saw Cui Zhi's eyes, the past self Coinciding with the little boy in front of him, Zhao Xunyue said as if encouraging Cui Zhi and himself:

"Be strong and don't cry. If no one can help you make your life better, then grow up and make it better yourself."
