Xu Ping didn't expect his parents to be so outrageous. He felt a cramp in his lower abdomen and beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down his forehead.
"Hurry, hurry, send her to the hospital." Liu Xiaocui's face turned pale with fear. She was doing this for her daughter's own good.
Xu Daming and his wife hurriedly lifted Xu Ping onto the tricycle, and the neighbors in the yard also came to help.
"Riding a bike is too slow. The county hospital is more than ten kilometers away. Let's call an ambulance or take a taxi."
Xu Daming felt his jacket pocket. He only made thirty or forty yuan a day repairing cars and mending shoes. He had no idea how much an ambulance would cost, but he knew a taxi would cost at least fifty or sixty yuan at this late hour. He ignored his neighbor's advice and muttered, "It's okay. I'll pedal faster."
"Hurry up, hurry up, the amniotic fluid has broken," Liu Xiaocui urged repeatedly.
The baby may not survive for seven months and it’s only been six months. I think it’s in a very bad state. I can’t save the baby without induced abortion.
Xu Daming was riding a tricycle and Liu Xiaocui was riding a bicycle. When they left, Dongzi's big truck just entered the village.
?
As expected, the children were not saved, a boy and a girl, twins. Xu Ping's tears had almost dried up, and she didn't say a word to Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui.
A week later, when she was discharged from the hospital and returned to the village, she learned that on the day of her miscarriage, the insurance company towed Dongzi's truck and took his ashes back to the village, where her children had gone to reunite with Dongzi.
Dongzi learned from the phone that Xu Ping was pregnant, so he hurried home to drive. However, due to fatigue driving, he had a car accident on the road and died at that time.
Dongzi's heartbroken mother came to her senses and remembered that Xu Ping was still pregnant with Dongzi's flesh and blood. She hurried to the Xu family's rented house with a savings book of 100,000 yuan. Only then did she know that Xu Ping's water had broken prematurely four days ago and she was sent to the hospital. She was taken to the hospital by her eldest son and learned from the doctor that the child was gone and Xu Ping had undergone a uterine curettage operation.
Dongzi's mother was shocked to hear that her youngest son had died in a car accident. Half of her hair had turned white overnight, and when he returned from the hospital, the other half had also turned completely white. He was also in a worse and worse mood. She always felt that if she hadn't forced the couple to break up and send her son to Xinjiang, Dongzi would definitely be alive and well now. Dongzi's mother hated herself...
After Xu Ping was discharged from the hospital, Liu Xiaocui took good care of her for the entire month of confinement, but Xu Ping still remained silent and refused to communicate with her family.
After she finished her confinement, Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui still expected her to continue making money, but she ignored them and did nothing.
At that time, Xu's father had transferred his auto repair stall to someone else, and Liu Xiaocui also resigned from the housekeeping company. Their eldest daughter did not earn money according to their arrangements, and they had no choice but to use the money they got from Xu Ping to buy a second-hand van and wait outside the Nanhua Market for the owner to rent their car.
But they were new arrivals and had no connections there. They were always excluded by the old drivers and could hardly get any work. Not long after, they were found to be driving without a license due to a minor car accident. Their van was confiscated and they were fined 20,000 yuan. They were detained in the detention center for three months before being released.
When they came out, the house was in chaos and none of the three children could be found.
After asking the neighbors, I found out that two months ago, Xu Ping beat his younger brother and sister and then ran away. Xu An and Xu Fu became poor little kids with no one to take care of them. No one took care of their eating, drinking, defecating or urinating. It was the neighborhood committee who helped them contact their relatives in their hometown in Hebei. Now they have been taken back to their hometown by their uncle and aunt.
It was not until Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui returned to their hometown and saw the two children that they knew what had happened.
It turned out that after Xu Ping had a miscarriage, she lost her fertility forever due to delayed treatment, cold weather, bumpy roads and other factors.
Xu Daming and Liu Xiaocui had originally kept it a secret from her, but Xu Fufu overheard what they said. After they were sent to the detention center, Xu Ping finally couldn't bear to see his younger brother and sister looking slovenly and having no food to eat, so he started to busy himself around again.
But she really had no money.
Liu Xiaocui kept all her money in a bank card, which she carried with her at all times. There wasn't much change found at home. Even if Xu Ping had a certain ability to make money, he couldn't create money out of nothing so quickly.
Xu An was fine; he just had food to eat. But Xu Fu wasn't so lucky. His mother used to give him two yuan a day in pocket money. Besides, before Liu Xiaocui went in, she had already promised to buy him a Transformer, and he had already shown it off to his classmates, promising to bring it to school for them to see.
Now his mother is in jail, his Transformers are gone, and even his two dollars a day are gone. His classmates all say he's a big liar and a big talker, and they don't want to play with him anymore.
He asked Xu Ping for money, but Xu Ping had no money. The landlord was still waiting at the door. After paying the rent, Xu Ping only had one dollar and fifty cents left in his pocket.
Xu Fu was furious. He angrily yelled at his elder sister: "If you don't spend money on me, I won't let my son support you in the future."
Where did this come from? The more Xu Ping thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She dug out her hospital records and, sure enough, the diagnosis stated that she would never be able to get pregnant again.
Xu Ping was in a daze and did not sleep all night. She had a high fever the next day. In her daze, she had a particularly terrible nightmare. In the dream, she never married and did not keep any of the money she earned. Liu Xiaocui took it all away. Xu An went to college, Xu Fu got married, bought a house, and their daily life all depended on her. When she was in her early fifties, she suddenly fainted one day and was sent to the hospital where she was diagnosed with cerebral infarction. Due to untimely treatment, she became paralyzed on one side of her body.
Her younger brother and nephew, who had promised to take care of her when she was old, disappeared. She was sent to her hometown to live with Liu Xiaocui and Xu Daming, who were already in their seventies. They scolded her with disgust, fed her only one meal a day, and asked her to drink less water to avoid incontinence.
In just three months, she became skin and bones, and the room was filled with a foul smell. Later, during the Spring Festival, her second uncle and aunt came back from the county town and saw her miserable condition, so they took her to their home.
Her second uncle and second aunt have always been good people. Since she was a child, she has wished that her second aunt could be her mother.
She lived in her second aunt's house for more than two months and was well taken care of. On April 5, Qingming Festival, her cousin drove them back to their hometown to visit their grandparents' graves. Her cousin's wife also bought her a wheelchair. Xu Ping's tears came out, and in her smile, the tears shone like stars.
But she was not the responsibility of her uncle and aunt. They were very old and she should not be a burden to them. She asked her cousin to take her back to her parents' home and told them that she would not go up the mountain to sweep the graves because of her mobility problems and would wait for them here.
After they all left, she controlled her electric wheelchair, went to the warehouse, picked up a bottle of paraquat and drank it.
In her next life, she doesn't want to be a human anymore.
Being a human being is so hard!
