Preface
In China, there is an old proverb: "The family and everything prospers", emphasizing that family harmony is essential for the prosperity of the entire family. However, in the winter of 2021, a shocking piece of news came to light on the Internet, giving people a very different picture of the family.
The incident took place in a village in Zhangjiakou City, Hebei Province. A senior girl was ruthlessly coaxed by her brother-in-law into drinking deadly paraquat, and she was taken to the hospital and died. Her body was in danger from the toxic effects of paraquat, and her life was in great danger.
As soon as the girl's encounter was exposed by the media, it immediately attracted the attention of the whole network. Many netizens expressed sympathy for the girl's plight, while also developing intense anger towards her brother-in-law.
Half a year has passed since the incident, and the attention to the girl continues. What kind of recovery and transformation has the once dying senior high school girl experienced now?
The brother-in-law was vicious, and the nightmare of the junior high school girl came
December 5, 2021, a cold winter day. The 17-year-old Meng Meng is in her third year of high school and is a sensible and smart girl. On this day, she returned to her sister's house to take care of her nephew, but was viciously coaxed by her brother-in-law Chen into drinking the highly toxic paraquat.
Chen is a person with a perverse temperament and often gets angry for no reason. He felt that his parents-in-law looked down on his family background, and he had been depressed and resentful for a long time. On this day, he suddenly had a bad idea and wanted to take revenge on his parents-in-law. Helplessly, his parents-in-law did not neglect him on weekdays, so this resentment fell on the head of Mengmeng, a junior high school girl.
Looking at the cute red face, a burst of gloom suddenly rose in Chen's heart. He took out the pesticide paraquat, diluted it with water, and poured it into Meng Meng as a "cold powder".
Paraquat, a highly toxic herbicide, is extremely harmful to humans. There is no cure for an adult, let alone an underage girl.
Although Meng Meng thought the taste was strange, she drank it without much thought, and soon had severe symptoms of poisoning. She was rushed to hospital by her parents, but the county hospital could not find a cause and she was transferred to the provincial hospital, where doctors determined that she had contracted paraquat. For a while, this girl who didn't know anything about the world fell into the brink of life and death.
The brother-in-law swayed and shirked, and the girl's life hung by a thread
was found out that it was his brother-in-law's doing, but Chen did not admit it, but pretended to be very concerned. He found a hospital bed for Mengmeng and bought medicine for her to try, looking as anxious as he was about himself.
And the parents, who didn't know anything about it, were secretly moved, but they didn't expect this son-in-law to be so caring. It wasn't until the truth was finally revealed that they suddenly realized that they had seen the wrong person.
After Chen's vicious true face was exposed, Mengmeng's parents were so angry that they smoked. A son-in-law who should have regarded him as his own was ruthlessly harming his sister's life, which was a heinous crime! They could no longer forgive Chen for what he had done.
At the same time, Meng Meng is also fighting bloodily in the hospital. The poison of paraquat had penetrated into her internal organs, and doctors had no hope of survival, as the young life was about to die.
Thanks to the doctor's unremitting rescue, coupled with the girl's own strong and optimistic character, she finally woke up from pain on the verge of life and death. However, getting back to the same will not happen overnight.
Double lung transplantation lasts life, and expensive medicine costs weigh heavily on parents
In order to save her life, Mengmeng underwent a high-risk double lung transplant in a hospital in Wuxi, and finally saved her life. However, the high cost of surgery has stretched the already wealthy parents. To make matters worse, she had to take a lot of medication to stay alive after the surgery, which was prohibitively expensive.
My parents used to make a living on ten acres of grape land, but now they have to use all their savings to buy expensive imported medicines. They are raising money from all over the place, borrowing money from friends and family, and their lives are becoming more and more difficult. Chen, who committed the crime, did not have the slightest intention of apologizing or compensating, and still went his own way and did not take this matter to heart at all.
Watching their daughter die on the sickbed, the parents' hearts were filled with pain and despair. They can't wait to suffer these tortures themselves, and endure the side effects of the drug instead of their daughter. But they couldn't do anything but watch their daughter's mind and body weaken day by day in the face of illness.
Lingering paraquat toxin
Although Meng Meng was saved a life, it is still far from being able to recover as before. The paraquat toxin had penetrated her internal organs, and it was almost impossible to remove it completely.
In order to prevent the residual toxins in her body from rebounding, she needs to take more than a dozen drugs every day, and regularly go to the hospital for infusion, oxygen, and virus testing...... All kinds of treatment and care have firmly imprisoned this girl who should be lively and cheerful.
She can't go out to face the wind for fear of infection; You can't do exercise for fear of overconsumption. She even wore a mask to talk to her parents, and just a little flutter would trigger a violent cough. The girl who used to be good at singing is now out of breath even when she speaks.
At first, the side effects of the drug made Meng Meng extremely thin and lifeless. Later, things improved, and she finally regained some weight, but she was still too weak not to be a girl, but like a middle-aged woman in her forties and fifties.
She can no longer return to her former self who loved to laugh and make trouble, instead of being heavy, depressed, and desperate. How she wishes that she was still the carefree senior high school girl she used to be, and her biggest wish is to go well in the college entrance examination and be admitted to a good university. Now, everything has come to naught, and her life has been ruined in the hands of this heartless brother-in-law.
The parents raised money everywhere and owed huge debts
For the treatment of their daughter, the parents became ill, their hair turned gray, and their faces were full of wrinkles. They took their daughter to major hospitals, desperately trying to save their daughter's lost life.
At first, they raised more than 600,000 yuan for treatment on the Shuidi platform, but it was quickly spent. The real cost of treatment has exceeded the million mark, and they owe high debts, and the more interest they accumulate, the more they accumulate.
My father had to borrow money from friends and relatives incessantly, sometimes from fellow villagers, sometimes from loan sharks, at alarmingly high interest rates. He never dared to borrow too much because he didn't know when he would be able to pay it back.
The mother blames her father for not working hard, and the ignorant Meng Meng will also blame him when her father is slow to buy medicine. As everyone knows, my father's heart has long been painful. A big man failed to protect his beloved daughter, and his self-blame and guilt were far beyond anyone's imagination.
The couple is a very loving couple, but now they are inseparable, for fear of losing their daughter. They only hope that the grapes will be harvested at a good price, so that they can pay off their debts as soon as possible and let their daughter see the light of day again.
But this wish is still far from being realized. In the day and night of care and travel, the parents were physically and mentally exhausted and on the verge of collapse.
The brother-in-law didn't ask, and the mother and daughter had to divorce
And Chen, the initiator, didn't care about the life or death of the family, and lived a comfortable life by himself, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
His callousness further aggravated the family's suffering. My sister was completely dead to him and filed a divorce lawsuit with the court. However, the court verdict will not be issued until after the verdict of Mengmeng's criminal case is pronounced, which undoubtedly adds to the blockage of the two women who are already physically and mentally damaged.
Fortunately, according to the law, the medical insurance in Mengmeng's case can be advanced by the medical insurance fund first, and recovered from Chen. This gives a glimmer of hope to a family in a desperate situation. Perhaps, one day, justice will be served, and that vicious man will pay for what he has done, and this is their only consolation now.
People's hearts are not ancient, where is the true feelings
We often say that family is the closest and dearest person. However, Chen did not hesitate to hurt his wife's flesh and blood, which shows the cruelty and selfishness of his heart.
In the face of Mengmeng's innocent smiling face, he actually got it. He knew that what he did would ruin a girl's youth and life, but he didn't feel guilty or guilty at all.
In this heinous evil act, it is not difficult for us to see the moral degradation of this era. People's hearts are no longer so pure, and even the closest and dearest people will be ruthless. All this makes people deeply disappointed and worried about human nature.
We don't know when Meng Meng and her family will see the light of day again. We also don't know if justice will eventually be served. We can only wish this unfortunate girl a bright future as soon as possible.
