Life only deceives people.
On October 26, 2021, the Yuexiu District People's Court in Guangdong Province tried a case of "mother killing child".
An 83-year-old mother put a lot of sleeping pills in the porridge and killed her son.
After more than four hours of trial, the court unexpectedly ruled:
"Suspect Wang Lan (pseudonym) was released in court."
When the incident was first exposed, countless netizens were surprised by the outcome of the trial, after all, this was a real intentional killing, not a negligence that caused death or anything else, but as they read the old man's story, they were all silent in tears.
In October 1971, Wang Lan and her husband ushered in the birth of their youngest son, and her husband, who had always been poor, was so happy that he bought four boxes of candy to distribute on various floors of the hospital.
14 years ago, they ushered in their first child, but the couple was not satisfied, and they always wanted to have another child, trying for many years, but there has been no good news.
14 years later, the occasional good news made both of them ecstatic.
But at that time, Wang Lan was 37 years old, an elderly mother, and there was a certain risk in giving birth, but they still insisted on giving birth to this child.
His husband didn't want her to worry about it during pregnancy, and he went out to work at six o'clock in the morning, but he would spend 2 hours every night, making the next day's meal in advance so that she could eat it when she woke up hot.
In the last month of the due date, he even took a long vacation to accompany her to give birth, and both of them were looking forward to the birth of this little life.
The process of production was quite triumphant, and their second son was born, named Li Guoen (pseudonym).
Shortly after his birth, Wang Lanqiang, tired and uncomfortable, hugged his child and said lightly: "Good child, call mother." ”
Her husband laughed and teased her for being stupid, even if she let a newborn baby call her mother, but both of them were very happy at that time.
After a year, Wang Lan has been trying to teach Li Guoen to speak, because the eldest son is less than one year old and can call people, so he is a little anxious to see the younger son delay in opening his mouth.
When the husband saw the situation, he was also relieved to say that some children themselves spoke slowly, don't worry too much, it will be fine.
But as the child grew older, the husband gradually lost his words of relief.
Because the older the child, the more obvious the gap with other children of the same age.
The same five-year-old child, other children can already run and shout all over the world, but Li Guoen can't even walk steadily, and his speech is also very vague, completely unclear.
Even once, Li Guoen overturned a basin of cold water, and the chill on his body was full of cold but he didn't know it, and Wang Lan and his wife knew that their son was in trouble no matter how dull they were.
The waiting area of the hospital is always easy to make people anxious and irritable.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lan took the child to do the examination and diagnosis, and even though they had been praying in their hearts that the child was healthy and worry-free, the diagnosis backfired: the initial diagnosis was trisomy 21 syndrome.
Seeing this name may be a bit cloudy for many people, but this disease has another name: congenital stupidity.
Yes, it is congenital stupidity, from birth, intellectual development is lower than ordinary people, and development is also prone to disorders and deformities.
Wang Lan could not accept this result and fainted on the spot.
After waking up, the couple held a bit of luck and changed to a hospital for examination, but the diagnosis results were the same.
They were still difficult to accept, and for the next few years they frantically wandered around the major hospitals for testing, but a letter of diagnosis with compatible results completely shattered the last glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Whenever Wang Lan watched the children of other families running and playing around the world, her heart was always miserable, and her children could not even say the word "mother" clearly.
Finally, at the age of eight, Li Guoen accidentally opened his mouth, stumbled and called out "Mother", and Wang Lan hugged him and cried.
She heard her son call her mother as she wished, and although her heart was bitter, she also had a little comfort.
"It's good that I let him spend his life carefree when he's a kid who never grows up."
Wang Lan's family situation is not very good, there are still a pair of elderly parents to support, the eldest son below still has to study, and the younger son basically loses the ability to take care of himself.
At first, Wang Lan and her husband were very diligent because of their physical condition, during the day she hired a nanny for her young son, and at night she began to take care of her day and night after work, and the days were still fair.
The youngest son grew up day by day, because he could not control himself by eating and going to the toilet, and the nanny also changed a batch of batches, so they insisted on more than ten years, and when Li Guoen was 18 years old, although his speaking ability was still low, fortunately, he already had the ability to support walking, eating independently and going to the toilet.
But eating is still like a 7-year-old child, spilling all over the floor: clothes, tables, floors...
But in this regard, Wang Lan was already very pleased.
As they grew older, Wang Lan and his wife had another worry in their hearts: If neither of us had the ability to take care of ourselves or were gone in the future, what would he do?
Together, the couple decided to give their young son a daughter-in-law to take care of him, they took out more than thirty years of savings as a bride price, and at the beginning the people who came to the door to ask for relatives were endless, even if they vaguely mentioned that their children had some problems, others did not care.
But after seeing his son, he didn't mention the marriage at all.
From the beginning of the doorway to the back of the door, it was less than a week, and her young son became the laughing stock of the entire county.
Wang Lan's husband was not reconciled, and several times took out his salary to increase the amount of the bride price, but still no one cared.
11 years later, the 69-year-old husband was admitted to the hospital for emergency rescue due to high blood pressure, and after two months of treatment, his condition did not improve, but on the contrary, he took a sharp turn for the worse.
That's when they realized that what they were most worried about might still happen.
The husband is gone, and at the funeral, the son is still unconscious, and there is no trace of sorrow.
Wang Lan hugged him, looked at her husband's posthumous photo, and said lonely:
"Guo'en is the only one in this world!"
She did not want to disturb the life of her eldest son, and someone once suggested that she send her younger son to a welfare home, but after seeing the scene of the orphaned and widowed elderly sitting in the welfare home all day and no one caring, how could she be cruel to this heart.
She only needs to take care of her son while going to the community service station to check her blood pressure.
She began to fear death, afraid that after she left, her second son would have no one to rely on, and how miserable would his life be at that time?
She carefully maintained her health, but on the day her youngest son turned thirty, she was tested for high blood pressure at the service station.
Go to the hospital for a check, high blood pressure + heart disease.
And the disaster is not alone, and the next day when Wang Lan was still worried about his own physical health problems, the younger son suddenly fell ill and went to the hospital.
His condition further deteriorated, severe brain atrophy occurred, not only further deteriorated intelligence, but also spent the rest of his life in bed.
After being discharged from the hospital, even though Wang Wanlan was helping him do rehabilitation exercises every day, his younger son's condition continued to deteriorate, and even eating was getting harder and harder.
Many times, she shed tears while feeding, and her heart was miserable but helpless.
Fast forward 16 years.
In 2017, 84-year-old Wang Lan was rushed to the hospital for a heart attack, and she obviously felt that her body was dying, but when she thought that her young son was still waiting for her at home, her heart was desperate.
On the day of discharge, she overheard a doctor reprimanding the patient's family:
"How many times have you told me that the dose adjustment should be done according to the doctor's advice!" Sleeping pills are something that is overdose to kill people! ”
Her heart was shocked, a thought came to her mind in an instant, thinking and thinking, tears flowed.
When she got home, she still wanted to take care of her young son herself, but her body had reached the point where she couldn't even keep her job stable.
So whenever it's time to feed, the eldest son will rush to do it.
Looking at the attentive eldest son, Wang Lan flashed a thought in his heart.
"I have suffered with my younger son all my life, will I have to suffer with my eldest son after I die?"
It didn't take long for her to make a decision.
In the following time, she would go to the hospital from time to time to prescribe sleeping pills and store them.
On May 9, 2017, she wrote a letter clarifying the life of her youngest son, with a special emphasis:
"Whatever happens has nothing to do with my eldest son, and I am fully responsible!"
After writing the letter, she pressed the 76 sleeping pills she had saved into a powder and put them into the porridge, and he pushed open his young son's room and fed her as usual.
After the younger son saw her, he did not know that danger had come, and still kept shouting "Mother", and now he could only say these two words.
Wang Lan knew that her young son was afraid of bitterness, so she put an extra spoonful of honey into the porridge, she fed him sleeping pills, and choked up and said:
"Well, it's not bitter, it's not bitter when you're done drinking."
After feeding, she used her knee as the pillow for her young son's last sleep, and her hand gently caressed it, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.
Time seemed to return to the moment when her little son was just born, and she took him in her arms despite her own exhaustion and whispered to him:
"Good boy, call mom."
The younger son died in his sleep, and Wang Lan also went to the local police station to turn himself in.
The court indicted Wang Lan for intentional homicide, and the prosecutor did not hold back his tears several times when he explained the case.
After the residents of the community knew about the matter, they wrote to Wang Lan to intercede.
She had taken care of her son for more than forty years, and she was the one who was the most painful to kill.
And if it is not helpless, how can parents who love their sons so much be cruel.
"I'm too old to move, and I want him to go one step ahead of me so I can die in peace."
The court finally pronounced a verdict that Wang Lan was convicted of intentional homicide, but the circumstances were extenuating, and he was sentenced to 3 years in prison, suspended for 4 years.
In October 2021, after the four-year reprieve, the court reopened, and it was reassuring that she was finally acquitted.
I hope that in the last part of her life, she can truly live for herself.
