Chapter 83 Jinjiang Debut
Healthy mother said straight to the point: "You were the one who pierced the needle hole on our Healthy's head, right?"
"yes."
Wumei's mother admitted it immediately without any hesitation.
This was beyond everyone's expectations. Lu Xiaomang nervously reminded her, "Mother Wumei, this is a crime. Are you sure you did it?"
"I did it," Wu Mei's mother repeated, and emphasized, "I was also responsible for your family's health problems a few times before. Don't ask."
The healthy mother said viciously: "I have no grudge against you, and I have never even met you. Why did you want to harm our child?"
"Because I'm jealous. Your child is so smart. I just don't like him."
Wu Mei's mother's tone was very flat, as if she was just talking about a trivial matter.
"There are so many children in the kindergarten, why do you target our child?" asked the healthy mother.
Wumei's mother: "Your child Jiankang is ranked first on the Little Red Flower List. The teacher always praises him for being smart and learning things quickly. I feel sad when I see him."
The red flower list is a list posted in the classroom, which records the number of red flowers each child has received. Health is first in the class, and Wumei is last.
"Just because of this?" Healthy Mom raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Just because of such a trivial matter, you want to kill someone?"
Wumei's mother: "Yes, it's a small matter for you, but it may be the last straw that broke the camel's back for me. My child is so stupid that she can't learn anything. She didn't even get a red flower in kindergarten. Did you know? She still can't wipe her butt by herself. Sometimes I think, if only the child could be stuffed back in. I really wish I had never given birth to this child."
Lu Xiaomang felt very guilty. She explained to Wumei's mother, "It's all my fault. I kept forgetting to give Wumei the little red flower. In fact, it's really just a small matter. The little red flower stickers are just a way for us novice teachers to manage students. It's just to make them quieter. If you like, you can buy a lot of them outside for five yuan. Wumei's mother, you really don't have to make a fuss to this extent."
"Do I want that little red flower?" Wumei's mother laughed sarcastically. "What I care about is the recognition of the outside world. Wumei is a freak. She has been different from others since she was born. I am afraid that she will not be recognized by the world, that she will be the last in school, and that she will not be able to find a job after graduation and become a marginalized person in society."
The healthy mother got even angrier: "Your child has a problem, why are you taking it out on her? Why are you taking it out on our child?"
Wu Mei's mother suddenly spoke up: "Actually, you are wrong about one thing. It's not that we haven't met before. We met once in the delivery room. Do you remember?"
The healthy mother recalled and quickly remembered: "I remember that there was another woman in the delivery room besides me that day. She and I gave birth on the same day, and that woman gave birth to a baby girl."
Wu Mei's mother smiled in despair, "Yes, that baby girl was Wu Mei. We were so happy when she was born. But it was too late and we couldn't return the child. I took her to see doctors everywhere and spent a lot of money, but there was no effect. Her father ran away and my relatives didn't want to associate with me. I endured it all by myself until Wu Mei was old enough to go to kindergarten."
"The day I sent her to kindergarten, I recognized you at first sight. I didn't expect that we were so destined to be together. We gave birth on the same day and our children are in the same class. But you didn't recognize me, so I didn't come up to say hello."
"Later, when the kindergarten started to teach knowledge, the difference between Wu Mei and other children became more and more obvious. I was really miserable. Every time I saw those smart children, my heart ached, especially your family's health!"
"No matter what subject, he can learn it quickly. I really hate God's injustice. We were both lying in the same ward and gave birth on the same day. Why did God give you such a smart child, but gave me a freak!"
Healthy Mom said coldly: "Your tragedy is not caused by us. Just because you are not living a good life, do you want others to suffer?"
Wu Mei's mother suddenly raised her voice and roared, "Yes, I can't bear to see your child grow up in peace. I want him to die! Die, die! I tried so many times, why is he still fine? God is so unfair, why! "
Seeing her crazy look, Healthy Mother was speechless. Lu Xiaomang interrupted quietly, "I think Wumei's mother is under too much pressure and has mental problems. Why don't we take her to the hospital for a check-up?"
Wu Mei's mother immediately said, "No need, I am very sober, I know what I am doing, I have admitted the matter, you can call the police, I will not go anywhere, I will wait for you at home."
Lame Brother was thinking to himself, "Things seem to be going a little too smoothly. Why is she so lazy that she doesn't even bother to argue? It's like she can't wait to go to jail."
"I'm so tired, I just want to be free," Wu Mei's mother said with relief in her voice. "I thought about it when I started. Whether it succeeds or not, I will be arrested and go to jail. I would rather go to jail than take care of a problematic child at home."
Lame Brother's eyes widened: "It seems that taking care of children can really drive people crazy. Fortunately, I am a bachelor. Today is also a day to be afraid of marriage and having children!"
Seeing that Wumei's mother had become like this, Jiankang's mother didn't say anything more. She hung up the phone and called the police. Lu Xiaomang helped provide the address of Wumei's home, and the rest of the matter was left to the police to investigate.
Lame Brother cleared his throat: "Ahem, now that the matter is clear, do you still owe the child's teacher an apology? You have been insulting her here for most of the day!"
Healthy Mom curled her lips in disdain: "I apologize to her? Ha, the cheating thing hasn't been explained yet, how can I apologize!"
As she spoke, she turned to look at Bai Mian: "Master, now tell me, what is the second bad news?"
Bai Mian paused, and saw Lu Xiaomang desperately gesticulating behind Healthy Mom, signaling her not to say anything. Lame Brother was puzzled: "This is someone else's family matter, why are you so flustered? Could it be that this matter is really related to you?"
"It's not related to her," Bai Mian said leisurely, "She is just helping to keep the secret."
Healthy Mom snorted coldly and looked at Lu Xiaomang: "I knew you were hiding something from me!"
Bai Mian took a sip of tea and said seriously, "You must be mentally prepared for what I am about to say. No matter how shocked you are, you must accept this fact."
The healthy mother crossed her arms and said impatiently: "It's just cheating, I guessed it, just tell me!"
Bai Mian spoke slowly: "The 'mistress' you have been looking for is yourself."
"What?" The healthy mother was confused by Bai Mian. She said unhappily, "Master, I just told you that I found another woman's perfume, manicure, and kiss marks on my husband. Didn't you understand?"
Bai Mian shook her head: "You left the armor and the kiss marks yourself, but you don't know it. As for the perfume, it was picked up by your husband when he visited Lu Xiaomang's home."
Healthy Mom said with a frown: "He is a student's parent, why would he go to the teacher's house for no reason? Aren't they having something going on?"
Bai Mian: "He came to visit this time to ask Lu Xiaomang to keep a secret for him."
Healthy Mom immediately turned around and asked Lu Xiaomang: "What's the secret?"
At this point, Lu Xiaomang knew that she could no longer hide the truth, so she had to confess: "Healthy Mom, Healthy Dad did come to my house to see me once, but there was really nothing between us. He came that time to ask me to take special care of you."
Lame brother immediately said: "This is not right, you are a kindergarten teacher, even if he asked you to take care of the child, why would he ask you to take care of the child's mother?"
Lu Xiaomang said awkwardly: "Because...Healthy Mom has a mental illness, Healthy Dad asked me to be more tolerant of her and not to make a fuss if she behaves abnormally. So I didn't call the police even though she made a scene again and again today."
The healthy mother yelled, "You're talking nonsense! I'm mentally ill, how could I not know it?"
Bai Mian: "Because you have split personality. The things you mentioned as the mistress were actually done by your other personality. The two personalities will not appear at the same time, and you don't know that you are sick."
The healthy mother was stunned for a moment. She thought carefully about what Bai Mian said. Bai Mian further said: "Do you often have large blanks in your daily life? Sometimes you feel like you have just woken up from a dream, and you have no memory of what you just did. You don't know what you did."
“Yes… yes,” the healthy mother admitted tremblingly. She asked puzzledly, “If there was really something wrong with me, why didn’t anyone around me tell me?”
Bai Mian tilted her head: "Of course it's because your husband has already informed the people around you in advance, hoping that they can keep it a secret from you."
Lu Xiaomang complained in a low voice: "Yes, it is because he begged me again and again that I tolerated you for so long."
The healthy mother stretched out her hands and looked at her fingers in disbelief. The whole world seemed unreal to her. She blinked and doubted herself: "Since when did my memory become blank... What on earth did I go through? How did I become like this..."
"You went through childbirth, and it was childbirth that turned you into this," Bai Mian said, waving a palm-leaf fan. "Although people think that childbirth is just a trivial matter that women have to go through, it is very common, but childbirth is actually very dangerous, no less than a trip to the gates of hell. Even if it doesn't harm your life, it will leave a lot of sequelae, and postpartum psychosis is one of them."
"After giving birth, you live in worry every day. You worry about the safety of your child and your husband's loyalty. You always suspect that your husband has an affair with another woman, even though this woman does not exist. Under excessive anxiety, you begin to hate your current life. You wish from the bottom of your heart that you had not married and had children. So you split into a second personality, and that personality is the free and easy you when you were young."
