In January 2019, a man and a woman were arguing fiercely on a crowded street in Qiyang County, Yongzhou City, Hunan Province.
"He's your biological son, and he's going to die!" Don't you even want to look at him? The woman asked in tears.
"My son? I haven't seen him in eighteen years, what kind of son is he? The man's face was full of impatience, and he made a gesture to blow the woman away.
"Why is this what you were born and raised, how can you be so cruel?" The reporter accompanying him could not help but speak for the woman.
"I'm not in good health, and now I can't take care of myself, I can't take care of you, don't come to me." The man saw that he could not leave, and left from the card table as he spoke.
Poor health but able to play cards, self-care but living in a four-story building, open a huge supermarket, it can be seen that the man's words are to avoid meeting his son.
Who are these two people? What is the relationship between them? The child is very ill, but the father does not even want to see the last side?
Depending on each other
The woman's name was Chen Jinlian; the man she was pestering was named Wu Jianguo, her ex-husband; and the "son" they referred to was named Chen Zhipeng.
Before the incident, Chen Jinlian and her son Chen Zhipeng relied on each other for their lives. In Chen Jinlian's heart, she has always felt that she has a great debt to her son.
When Chen Jinlian and Wu Jianguo divorced, Chen Zhipeng was not yet two years old, and Chen Jinlian stubbornly wanted to leave him. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of tribulations a woman with little education and little ability will face when raising a young child alone.
When Chen Zhipeng was younger, Chen Jinlian had to take care of him all day and couldn't work, and later Chen Zhipeng went to school when he was older, and Chen Jinlian had the opportunity to go out to work.
For many years, the life of mother and son has been very poor, eating the cheapest fruits and vegetables in the market and living in the cheapest low-cost housing.
The hardships of life make Chen Jinlian depressed and powerless, fortunately, Chen Zhipeng is a very sensible child, will take the initiative to do housework, is very considerate to her, and never needs Chen Jinlian to worry about academic performance.
In 2016, 17-year-old Chen Zhipeng was admitted to Hunan Normal University. On the day he received the acceptance letter, Chen Zhipeng was very happy, he took Chen Jinlian's hand and said: "Mom, I have grown up, when I graduate I can raise you, you don't have to work so hard!" ”
Chen Jinlian was also happy for her son, in order to congratulate her son on getting what he wanted, and to encourage Chen Zhipeng's efforts to be sensible over the years, Chen Jinlian asked her son: "Admitted to college, do you have any gifts you want?" ”
Chen Zhipeng smiled and said, "No, my mother's health will be fine." ”
Chen Zhipeng, who was admitted to the university, is more cheerful and more confident, the school's coursework is always completed conscientiously, and the activities held by the school are also actively participated, and the enthusiastic and frank Chen Zhipeng is very popular with teachers and classmates.
At the same time, Chen Zhipeng has also become more motivated, will take the initiative to run for class cadres, college cadres, and also submitted an application to the school to join the party.
The university has a relatively more spare time, and Chen Zhipeng will not waste time sleeping in the dormitory and playing games like other students, but going around looking for extracurricular part-time jobs and earning pocket money to reduce the burden on his mother.
Chen Zhipeng has always been the pride of his mother, and it is also all the hope and dependence of his mother. At that time, the two happy and satisfied mother and son did not realize that disaster was about to come.
My son was seriously ill
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, it is 2019, when Chen Zhipeng is 20 years old and is in his junior year at Hunan Normal University.
This year's winter vacation, Chen Zhipeng returned home early, according to the past practice, he always went home to spend a few days with his mother, and then went out to do winter vacation work.
Near the New Year, the mother and son bought a number of New Year goods, and Chen Zhipeng also accompanied Chen Jinlian to visit many relatives. When relatives saw that Chen Zhipeng was so sensible and filial, they were all envious and praised Chen Jinlian for his blessings.
One day in January, Chen Zhipeng was about to go out to do winter vacation work when he suddenly felt unbearable abdominal pain.
At first, Chen Zhipeng did not pay attention to it, and thought that he had eaten something bad, so he took a leave of absence from his work place to rest at home for a day. However, with the passage of time, Chen Zhipeng's pain did not decrease but increased, and he was accompanied by symptoms of fever.
This frightened Chen Jinlian and quickly took him to the county hospital.
The county's medical facilities are limited, the doctor's qualifications are also average, the hospital arranged a transfer for Chen Zhipeng, after arriving at another hospital, that hospital did not dare to stay, directly let Chen Jinlian take the child to the province's large hospital for treatment.
In just two days, Chen Zhipeng was transferred three times, and finally on January 22, he was sent to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital. After being hospitalized, Chen Zhipeng was directly transferred to the ICU (intensive care unit) ward.
When he was sent to the Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, Chen Zhipeng's condition was already very bad, the abdominal pain was unbearable, and the fever was more than thirty-nine degrees.
High pressure 90 Low pressure 60, heartbeat up to more than 140 times per minute, and has fallen into shock.
Pan Xiaoji, deputy chief physician of the Intensive Care Department of Hunan Provincial People's Hospital, arranged a full body examination for Chen Zhipeng and found that Chen Zhipeng had a huge cyst on his liver, which had been infected and inflamed, causing severe sepsis, chen Zhipeng abdominal pain, it was the culprit.
Sepsis is organ failure caused by inflammation caused by infection, and decreased blood pressure and increased respiratory rate are the main manifestations of symptoms.
What is even more frightening is that after Chen Zhipeng was hospitalized, it was not just sepsis, but also six diseases such as congenital cysts and septic shock, and the situation was very critical.
Chen Zhipeng was lying in the intensive care unit, only able to rely on a ventilator to maintain his life, and in just a few days, Chen Zhipeng lost weight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The cost of the intensive care unit is really too high, spending nearly 10,000 yuan a day, and in a few days, Chen Jinlian's only little savings are exhausted.
After Chen Zhipeng was admitted to the intensive care unit, Chen Jinlian informed her relatives of the news, and many people came to visit Chen Zhipeng, which also brought Chen Jinlian great financial help.
However, Chen Zhipeng's situation never improved, and the help of relatives was limited, and Chen Jinlian soon fell into danger again.
Just when Chen Jinlian was running around for money, she suddenly thought of Chen Zhipeng's father, that is, her ex-husband, whom she had not seen for eighteen years.
At the same time, some relatives suggested that Chen Jinlian could turn to the local TV station for help, first, to publicize Chen Zhipeng's matter and get some donations, and second, to facilitate them to apply for hospital assistance projects.
In this way, Chen Jinlian contacted the local TV station, and the reporter quickly came to the hospital.
Husband and wife break up
During the interview, the reporter found that Chen Jinlian was the only one who was busy in the hospital, and he never saw the figure of Chen Zhipeng's father, so he asked Chen Jinlian why she was the only one to deal with the child's affairs.
Chen Jinlian told reporters about the enmity and entanglement between herself and Chen Zhipeng's father, and also explained the reason why Chen Zhipeng's father did not appear.
It turned out that Chen Jinlian and Chen Zhipeng's father, Wu Jianguo, were remarried and reorganized the family. More than 20 years ago, 37-year-old Chen Jinlian met Wu Jianguo under the introduction of a matchmaker.
In advance, Wu Jianguo had a marriage, and also with a teenage child, after the matchmaker introduced the two to know, Chen Jinlian's family also specially inquired about Wu Jianguo's personality.
People in the same village say that Wu Jianguo is usually very enthusiastic, but his temper is very grumpy when he is with his wife and children, and he often beats and scolds endlessly, and his first marriage ended because of this.
It is reasonable to say that marrying into such a family, many girls will not agree, not to mention Wu Jianguo's family situation is still very bad, why would Chen Jinlian and her family agree to this marriage?
In an interview, Chen Jinlian's sister said that they also hesitated for a long time at the beginning, but Chen Jinlian's age was too old, he was thirty-seven years old, it was not good to find a mother-in-law, and he could only choose a second marriage like Wu Jianguo.
At first, the relationship between the husband and wife was very good, and Wu Jianguo was not as emotionally unstable as the villagers said, and he was still very considerate of Chen Jinlian, which made Chen Jinlian's mother's family breathe a sigh of relief.
After marriage, Wu Jianguo also sent the children born to his ex-wife to his elderly parents, on the grounds that he did not want to upset Chen Jinlian. Soon, Chen Jinlian became pregnant, which was the crystallization of the happiness of the two, and during that time Wu Jianguo was even more kind to Chen Jinlian.
In October, when she was pregnant and gave birth, Chen Jinlian gave birth to a son, Chen Zhipeng.
I thought that with a son, the relationship between the two people would get better and better, but I didn't expect that Wu Jianguo had completely changed, and the original gentleness and thoughtfulness had disappeared, and he often quarreled with Chen Jinlian for a little thing.
Although on the surface, Chen Jinlian is only a weak mother, but in her bones is not a character who allows people to rub flat and knead the circle casually, Wu Jianguo dares to scold her, and she is not afraid to scold back.
In this way, the more the two people quarreled, the more fierce and more stiff, when Chen Zhipeng was just over a year old, the two people who could not get by decided to divorce.
Wu Jianguo has no property, and there is nothing to divide, and the main controversy is the ownership of his child Chen Zhipeng.
Chen Jinlian and Wu Jianguo have lived for several years, and have seen how Wu Jianguo treats his ex-wife, and every time his ex-wife wants to see his children, Wu Jianguo always pushes left and right, resulting in the feelings of the eldest son and his mother becoming more and more angry.
Chen Jinlian did not want to see the child again in the future, nor did she want the child not to recognize herself in the future, so she insisted on taking the child with her.
Later, the two reached an agreement, Chen Zhipeng was raised by Chen Jinlian, and the mother and son left the Wu family together. Today, Chen Jinlian has not seen Wu Jianguo for eighteen years, nor has she been to the town where Wu Jianguo is located for eighteen years.
Refuse to meet
Knowing the relationship between the three, the reporter asked: "Then does he usually take the initiative to mention his father?" ”
Chen Jinlian shook her head helplessly: "Don't mention it, because the two of them don't usually meet, his father has never bought him a grain of rice or given him a penny, and we have never visited my son since we moved out." ”
"Is he used to the absence of a father?" Would he talk to someone about his father? ”
"He didn't want to mention anything about the role of father himself, and every time someone around him mentioned something like father, he would leave immediately." Chen Jinlian replied.
"What if you mentioned it to him?"
"I don't want to say it, and I never say it."
Over the years, the lack of father's love has allowed Chen Zhipeng to grow rapidly, and it has also caused him a lot of bad influences, such as delicate and sensitive mind, unwilling to reveal his heart to others, etc.
After talking with the reporter, Chen Jinlian returned to the intensive care unit to visit the child, and the guilt of many years made Chen Jinlian cry like rain, thinking that the child had not seen his father for eighteen years, Chen Jinlian thought: Is it necessary to let the child see the last side of his father before dying?
Having made up her mind, Chen Jinlian consulted with the doctor and went to the township where Wu Jianguo was located accompanied by reporters.
But at this time, this place was completely different from when Chen Jinlian left, before the road was lined with low and dilapidated bungalows, now it is all towering and magnificent buildings; the street is also crowded and very lively.
Standing on such a strange street, Chen Jinlian was completely confused, she could not find where Wu Jianguo's home was, she could only vaguely find a general location.
After asking several people who passed by, they all said that they did not know Wu Jianguo, and finally Chen Jinlian thought that there was once a telecommunications bureau near Wu Jianguo.
This was an important clue, and Chen Jinlian asked a local, who took her to a wasteland: "This is, the first two years of demolition and relocation." ”
The clue that had just been found was broken again, and Chen Jinlian had mixed feelings. They asked a few more questions along the way, and surprisingly, an old grandmother who had lived here for a long time provided them with a clue.
It turned out that the place where Wu Jianguo used to live was demolished, and a small four-story building was built, and the downstairs was a supermarket, and Wu Jianguo and his son lived upstairs.
According to the grandmother's direction, Chen Jinlian and the reporter looked for it, and when there was still a long distance from the supermarket, Chen Jinlian suddenly said: "I saw him." ”
"Which one?" The reporter asked hurriedly.
"The one who plays cards."
"Is it the one with the cigarette in his hand?"
"Hmm."
The reporter was also happy for Chen Jinlian, walked quickly to the man's side, and explained his identity and intentions.
This person is Wu Jianguo, although he is much older than before, but the change in stature and demeanor is not much, so Chen Jinlian can recognize him at a glance.
"What are you looking for me for?" Wu Jianguo asked with a defensive face.
"Do you remember this one?" The reporter motioned to Chen Jinlian next to him and asked.
Wu Jianguo turned his head without even looking at it: "I don't know." ”
Judging from Wu Jianguo's performance, he did recognize Chen Jinlian, perhaps the two broke up peacefully, or it may have not been in contact for many years, Wu Jianguo did not want to talk to Chen Jinlian, so he pretended not to know.
The reporter saw Wu Jianguo's resistance and could only play a round field on the side: "You see, this is a picture of your child, do you remember him?" ”
To everyone's surprise, Wu Jianguo waved his hand and refused to look at Chen Zhipeng's photo: "I don't care about my son, he has long been out, so many years, what is he still looking for me to do?" ”
"Don't you want to look at your son's picture?" It looks a lot like you. ”
"I don't look at it, I don't look at it, it's useless to look at it, I can't even keep myself."
"There is a situation I have to tell you," the reporter also relentlessly told About Chen Zhipeng, including Chen Zhipeng's schooling, hospitalization, etc., but Wu Jianguo interrupted the reporter without listening: "I don't care." ”
"Would you like to take a look at the child?" His illness was really serious. The reporter's tone had a hint of pleading.
Wu Jianguo did not speak, shook his head and turned around, and after that, no matter what the reporter said, Wu Jianguo replied the same: "I don't go", "I don't care", "It's not my business".
Chen Jinlian, who was on the side, stepped forward and quarreled with Wu Jianguo: "Don't you want to pay for it, are you not willing to go to the hospital to see it?" How can he be your child too! ”
"It's useless for you to make trouble with children, I don't look at it." Wu Jianguo's attitude was resolute, Chen Jinlian took a few steps closer to fight again, Wu Jianguo said: "What? Are you going to kill me?" ”
No matter how the reporter and Chen Jinlian persuaded, Wu Jianguo just refused to go, and finally was forced to have no way, and said that he was not in good health, Chen Jinlian was angry: "If you are not in good health, you can play cards and play your son can't see it?" ”
Wu Jianguo retorted and walked away.
There was no way, Chen Jinlian and the reporter could only find the village committee, hoping that the leaders of the village committee could help persuade them to make peace.
The village cadres brought Wu Jianguo to the village committee, where Wu Jianguo was willing to confide in him.
It turned out that the supermarket under Wu Jian's national building was not their home, when the supermarket owner looked at the location of the foundation of their house, he negotiated to rent the land, Wu Jian's old house could not live, his eldest son took advantage of this opportunity to sign a lease contract with the owner of the supermarket for several years, and borrowed hundreds of thousands of dollars from relatives, and finally built this four-story small building.
Wu Jianguo's arm was broken into three sections, and it could only be fixed by the steel plate, but after the arm was good, Wu Jianguo did not take out the steel plate, the reason was to take the steel plate for money, and they did not.
Wu Jianguo's meaning is also obvious, he has no money to help treat his young son, so he does not want to go to the hospital to see, when the child is lost, so as not to feel uncomfortable in his heart.
After Wu Jianguo left, Chen Jinlian asked from the supermarket owner for the phone number of Wu Jianguo's eldest son, Wu Shuangwei.
When Chen Jinlian called Wu Shuangwei, Wu Shuangwei was working on the construction site, and when he learned that it was his brother's business, he rushed back from the construction site without saying a word.
Compared with Wu Jianguo, Wu Shuangwei is obviously more empathetic, Wu Shuangwei has established a family, and his wife is also very intelligent.
Chen Jinlian informed Wu Shuangwei of the situation, and Wu Shuangwei sighed: "If I have 20,000 yuan in my hand, I will give it all to you." But with hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign debt, I really can't get a penny in my hand. ”
Chen Jinlian returned to the hospital without finding anything, and on the second day of the Chinese New Year, Wu Shuangwei suddenly came to the hospital to visit his brother and brought five hundred yuan.
"I wanted to come here years ago, but I didn't have any money in my hand, so I waited for the construction site to settle the payment, so I came over." Wu Shuangwei handed the money to Chen Jinlian's hand, and Chen Jinlian's tears flowed instantly as she took the money.
Wu Shuangwei went to the intensive care unit to visit Chen Zhipeng, at this time Chen Zhipeng's consciousness has been awakened, Wu Shuangwei took Chen Zhipeng's hand and told him not to give up, rest assured of treatment, and agreed with him that when he is well, the two families must move around more.
Perhaps for Chen Jinlian's mother and son, Wu Shuangwei's help was a drop in the bucket, but this five hundred yuan was enough to see all the concerns and worries of an older brother for his younger brother.
Now, more than two years have passed since Chen Zhipeng was seriously ill and hospitalized, and if Chen Zhipeng can be lucky enough to recover from his illness, he should have graduated from college and found a job to fulfill his promise to his mother.
In the world, blood kinship is the most magical thing, it can easily close the relationship between two people who have never met, even if two people have ever had a festival, it can also be easily forgiven.
I hope that Chen Zhipeng can be healthy and healthy, I hope that he and his mother can live happily, and I hope that they and their brother and father can become close again and become a family in the emotional sense.
