The golden sunlight slowly rose from the eastern canopy like a flame, shedding a little warm light. At this time, in the simple and elegant courtyard of the Chen family, there is still a faint morning mist in the early morning, and its hazy atmosphere reveals a little fresh and pleasant.
The hard-working mother Chen had already gotten up dressed in the stars and the moon, and her kind silhouette loomed in the light of the morning light. She slowly approached the kitchen, carefully preparing her family's delicious breakfast.
As time passed, a rich aroma of food gradually permeated the room, as if to tell of a peaceful and peaceful morning to come.
When she gently pushed the door open, her heart was full of anticipation, hoping to see her son's sweet sleeping face. However, what I saw in front of me was the figure of her daughter-in-law Hu Airong lying alone on the bed.
"Why did this child leave home so early?" Chen's mother wondered.
When she walked to the door, her heart suddenly seemed to be grasped by something, and the whole person almost fell into shock and consternation. I saw Chen Jingwen lying limply in the yard, surrounded by an empty pesticide bottle.
Time seems to go back to that crisp autumn night a year ago in 2013.
Chen Jingwen and his wife, Hu Airong, set out on their journey home before the sky was completely dark, as usual. On this day, they bought a truckload full of fresh vegetables at the wholesale market again, and planned to deliver them to the market for sale the next morning.
As the vehicle slowly drove towards the toll booth on the highway, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. In accordance with his usual habits, Chen Jingwen prepared to pass through the green channel to avoid unnecessary tolls.
However, at this moment, a female toll collector named Zhang Yi suddenly walked briskly and said to them with a stern face: "Please stop, please pay the toll of 12 yuan." ”
Chen Jingwen's face was full of confusion, and his heart was full of doubts. He is well aware that in the past, it was customary for him to pay tolls when he drove to the wholesale market in the early morning, and when he returned at night with a full load of goods, he could pass directly through the green channel without having to pay again.
"Why do you have to pay again this time?" he thought of the question, and he couldn't help but feel a little angry. So, he got out of the car and tried to ask Zhang Yi for the specific reason.
Zhang Yi replied firmly: "Because in addition to vegetables, your car also has some rice tofu on it, so you have to pay a toll." ”
Chen Jingwen's heart was full of confusion and puzzlement, it was just a few pieces of rice tofu left over from his commissary, why did he need to pay a high toll? Although he tried his best to explain to Zhang Yi, it was a pity that the other party did not seem to be willing to understand or accept.
In the face of such an unreasonable request, Chen Jingwen's heart was full of helplessness and grievances. Obviously, their vehicles were loaded with only a few pieces of rice tofu, but those were the surplus stock of their own commissary, and they didn't have to pay any tolls at all.
However, no matter how hard Chen Jingwen tried to explain, Zhang Yi always turned a deaf ear, and his attitude became more and more tough, and the two sides fell into a stalemate, and the atmosphere instantly became tense and depressing.
In this tense atmosphere, the two sides inevitably eventually got into physical altercations. Zhang Yi suddenly waved his arm and slapped Chen Jingwen fiercely, who was caught off guard, shocked by this sudden blow, and angry emotions instantly surged into his heart, and then launched a counterattack.
In this way, the two fell into a fierce scuffle.
In the midst of the chaos, other drivers passing by witnessed the scene and called the police. It was only when police cars arrived at the scene that the conflict was temporarily quelled.
However, it didn't end there. Unexpectedly, Zhang Yi put on a victim posture and complained to the police about Chen Jingwen's vexatious behavior and taking the lead.
What is even more excessive is that her words have succeeded in confusing the police into believing that this is indeed the case.
After the incident, Zhang Yi's husband unabashedly visited the house, demanded a huge compensation of up to 500,000 yuan from Chen Jingwen, and threatened to take legal measures against the whole family if this demand could not be met.
500,000 yuan! This is undoubtedly an astronomical sum for Chen Jingwen's family! How can they bear such tremendous economic pressure if they are ordinary people who live a life of diligence and thrift? Chen Jingwen returned home in a gloomy state and pondered over and over again this thorny issue.
Chen Jingwen was rushed to the hospital in this way, but fortunately, after the doctor's full treatment, he finally saved his life. However, when he came to his senses and saw the worried faces of his wife and mother, the guilt and self-blame in his heart came flooding over him.
For the sake of a mere 12 yuan toll, he felt extremely sad that it had brought such heavy harm to his family.
Seeing that the situation had developed to such a serious point, the Chen family could no longer sit idly by, and they decided that they would no longer remain silent and must seek justice for themselves. So, they finally mustered up the courage to find Zhang Yi, hoping to get a reasonable explanation from her.
Surprisingly, Zhang Yi's reaction was different. Not only did she resolutely deny the matter, but she even turned the finger at Chen Jingwen, claiming that it was Chen Jingwen who took the first action and fabricated the facts to maliciously slander her reputation.
"The events of that night were extremely simple. Zhang Yi stated frankly: "I just implemented the hotel's regulations fairly and collected the fees I should pay, but Chen Jingwen was unreasonable and personally attacked me."
Zhang Yi further said that she had never made any claim for compensation, and the so-called "500,000 private expenses" was a groundless rumor and a pure falsehood.
In the face of the diametrically opposed statements of both sides, which side is more credible in the evidence? In order to thoroughly ascertain the truth, the police decided to review the surveillance video footage of the scene at the time and conduct an in-depth investigation.
As expected, the surveillance video clearly recorded the physical altercation between the two sides. In this conflict, the first to do it was undoubtedly Chen Jingwen, who was the culprit who caused the incident.
However, for the key detail of "500,000 private fees" mentioned by Zhang Yi, no conclusive evidence was found in the video.
Over time, the incident faded away. Zhang Yi's life is also gradually returning to the right track.
Initially, she had to endure the onslaught and questioning of public opinion. At one time, he faced the dilemma of unemployment and hardship. However, when the results of the police investigation were made public and the truth was revealed on surveillance footage, the public's attitude towards her began to change.
The accusatory voice gradually subsided, and Zhang Yi was able to return to his normal work life. Her life began to slowly recover, and the criticism she had suffered was gradually forgotten by the world.
In contrast, the Chen family's situation is quite difficult. Although Chen Jingwen is out of danger, the road ahead is still full of challenges. He needed to spend a long time in the hospital for treatment and rehabilitation, and the process of recovering his health was long and arduous.
This high medical cost alone is enough to put the Chen family, which originally had a little savings, into financial difficulties. Chen Jingwen, who used to be the breadwinner of the family, can no longer go out to work to earn money, and the heavy responsibility of the family is all on the shoulders of his elderly mother.
Witnessing her son's illness getting worse day by day, Chen's mother's heart felt as if she had suffered a thousand trials and pains. In the face of the difficulties and difficulties of life, in order to let her family live a life of food and clothing, she resolutely decided to take on the role of a small trader in the nearby vegetable market and contribute to the front line of vegetable retail.
A strong woman who used to fight in the wholesale market, but now has to rely on this meager income to support the livelihood of the whole family, the bitterness and helplessness of it, I am afraid that only Chen's mother herself can deeply understand.
In addition to Chen's mother, there are also Chen Jingwen's wife and two young children to raise. The burden of the whole family rests on this elderly mother, and the pressure on her shoulders is really amazing.
