Text/Peace of mind
The phone rang persistently, looking at the number on the phone screen, Xing Wenying broke down and wanted to drop the phone.
After more than 30 years, that person is now dead outside, and the woman who eloped with him actually called Xing Wenying to go to the hospital to collect the man's body.
Wen Ying collapsed and pressed the phone again and again, but the persistence over there made people doubt life.
The son reluctantly pressed the phone.
"Lin Qilong, your father's body is in the morgue of the hospital, you don't go to claim it, right? Then I'll be cremated and scattered into the river, anyway, I don't have the money to buy him a cemetery!
"When you two eloped, did you think about our orphans and widows, how did you get over the past 30 years, you shameless woman!"
Qilong looked at his crazy mother, tears almost flowed, since his father eloped with that woman, he and his mother depended on each other, went to college are all tuition fees made up by relatives, talked about two girlfriends, both because of the bad family background, failed, thirty-two, and now he is still single.
He also secretly went to that city to see his father, relying on a pancake stand to make a living, and his business was also bleak, and his father and the woman were very old.
The two people who eloped for love didn't expect that no matter how beautiful love was, they would also need fireworks in the world to feed this skin.
Half a year ago, I received a call from a woman, telling my father that he was in the hospital, suffering from cancer, and hoped that he could pay part of the medical expenses.
In this way, half a year later, the woman called the day before yesterday and said that her father's body was in the hospital morgue, and the hospital urged her to hurry up to collect the body, she had spent all her savings, and now she really had no money to buy a cemetery, and hoped that we could pull her father's body back to the mountain for burial.
Mom disagreed, she couldn't forget the pain that the couple had brought to their mother and son in those years.
Seeing his mother's collapse, he didn't dare to say anything in the past two days.
Listening to this woman's words now, perhaps, she will really scatter her father's ashes into the river.
"Mom! No, I'll hire a car to bring my dad back, cremated and buried next to my grandfather and grandmother, right? If that woman really lifts Dad's ashes into the river, the people in the village will laugh at me!"
After listening to the woman's words, the mother also calmed down, people in the mountains love face, in case the ashes of the child's father are really scattered into the river, the child will not be able to raise his head in the village.
Silently walked to the cabinet, took out the suit from the wedding, and carried the bag.
For more than 30 years, I haven't lost it, and every time I turn over the cabinet, I will stab myself in distress, and this time this dress has a home.
Lin Qilong picked up the suit that his father and mother wore when they got married, took all the family's savings, hired a car, and went straight to the city.
In the village, my father's old brothers from his youth all came and set up a mourning shed in the courtyard.
"Alas, this man has been away from home for thirty years, and now he is back in this form!"
"Life really can't go the wrong way, go wrong, that's a lifetime of regret!"
People were doing their work and talking, and the mother looked at the coffin in a daze, but did not come up to look at it.
The man who ruined his mother's life had to collect his body in the end, and his fate was really cruel to her.
On the morning of my father's awakening, my mother wept bitterly in the house, muttering that she was too cruel to the woman.
In fact, it's not just that woman who is ruthless, isn't my father the same ruthless for love? Abandoning his wife and children, has he come back to see us in the past 30 years?
How many such unfair things are there in the world? Moral kidnapping is like an invisible knife on your neck, you can't see it, you can't touch it, but it's really there.
