It turned out that the deceased had just been diagnosed with advanced gastric cancer not long ago, but his family was poor and could not afford to support him to receive formal treatment.
The old man endures the pain of cancer and various discomfort symptoms every day. He can't eat or sleep, and can only rely on the painkillers he buys himself to cope.
Coincidentally, an unexpected guest came to the door and said that there was a good way to make the family rich, but it would require a small price to pay.
At that time, the old man, the old woman, their son, daughter-in-law and grandson were all present. When the other party explained what happened, the expressions on the faces of the whole family were very interesting.
Let’s talk about the old man first. When he heard that he had to exchange his life for something, he was actually a little resistant, especially when he saw the expectant and smug expression on his daughter-in-law’s face, which made him feel very disappointed.
Neither the old man's son nor his grandson raised any objections. The son even took the initiative to speak up, saying, "Hey, Da Zhuang is getting married soon, and other children are so prosperous, with everything prepared at home. Da Zhuang, it's because Daddy is incompetent. He can't afford the betrothal gifts your partner wants, let alone buy you a house. Hey..."
As he spoke, the old man's son began to hold his head in pain, constantly pulling the few remaining hairs on his head.
This boy named Dazhuang is in his early twenties and is indeed of marriageable age. His girlfriend is breaking up with him recently because she thinks he is poor and incompetent. He has gone home more than once to vent these negative emotions to his family.
Now that we have such a good opportunity, I really hope that grandpa can take the initiative to make sacrifices to help the whole family.
Only the old lady was there, wiping away her tears and scolding her children and grandchildren: "You don't appreciate his kindness at all, you just want him to die quickly, and then he will give you some money to spend after his death?
Our pensions are six thousand yuan a month, and we old folks barely spend any of it. We give it all to you, and you're still not satisfied? Huh? You little bastards!
The old man was seriously ill and couldn't bear to spend money to buy some good medicine to relieve his illness. If we had known that we would raise three ungrateful wolves like you, we should have kicked you out long ago and would not care about you even if you died of cold and starvation! "
The old lady now deeply regrets not having another child. Even if she had an extra child, she would have had another child to look forward to. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret.
She and her husband have depended on each other for more than 40 years. Now that she has no partner, what is the point of living?
The old man's eyes were red. He hadn't educated his children well, and he had no ability to create a good living for them. Now his life was worse than death. The only thing he was worried about was his wife.
Normally, their son and daughter-in-law would need their money, but they didn't show it too obviously. I didn't expect them to have such hidden thoughts. It was worth dying for my grandson, but I was afraid that my wife would suffer if she followed such an unfilial son and daughter-in-law.
After scolding her son and daughter-in-law, the old lady picked up something and tried to kick the people sent by Zhan Jinhua out of the house. The son and daughter-in-law immediately grabbed the old lady and said, "The God of Wealth has fallen from the sky. We can't let him get away."
In the end, the old lady was unable to convince the other family members. Even the old man who was about to make the sacrifice looked willing to die and agreed to the plan of exchanging his life for money.
On the day of the incident, the old man's son took him into the store just after lunch and sat him down at the table his employer had given him. During the meal, the old man, under his son's instructions, swallowed the poison with water, and then the incident occurred.
The old man's son was terrified when he saw his father in such pain. That night, he had a terrible nightmare. But after waking up, the dream of getting rich quickly swept away the shadow of the nightmare.
Although the matter has become a big deal, Boss Sun seems to be in no hurry at all. He insists on getting to the bottom of it. If he really finds out, will his dream of getting rich be shattered? Will his son's marriage also be ruined?
Hard work pays off. Sun Aimin went to the old man's home to inquire about the family's situation and learned that the old man seemed to be ill recently and rarely went out. The old lady always looked worried when she went out to buy groceries. When an acquaintance greeted her and chatted with her, he probably knew that she was worried about her husband's health.
The family wasn't well off financially. The old man's son lost his job two years ago and couldn't find a suitable job, so he could only do odd jobs, which probably didn't make much money. The daughter-in-law was lazy and didn't work outside, but she played mahjong quite diligently.
The old man’s only grandson is old enough to get married, but he doesn’t have his own house, so the wedding has been delayed. I wonder if it will be in vain.
Putting these basic situations together, the entire scheme for extorting money has become basically clear.
Sun Aimin's previous speculation was now almost confirmed. Trading their lives for money? I never thought there would be a family willing to risk their lives like that. Sun Aimin's worldview had already collapsed.
The police station may have too many cases to handle, and has not yet responded to the question about the elderly man going to the hospital for treatment.
Two days later, the family of the deceased went to the hotel entrance to mourn, burn paper money, and scatter paper money. They also placed several large wreaths at the door of the store.
After this incident, and with the family's constant trouble, the restaurant had no choice but to close down.
Unable to catch Sun Aimin at the hotel, they moved their base and went to the school where Yuan Jie worked - Qingyang No. 1 Middle School. They moved the same equipment they used at the hotel entrance there, making it impossible for the students to study.
Especially for day students, every time they enter the school gate, they feel scared when they see the big wreaths and paper money.
The main force causing the trouble was the old man's daughter-in-law, and a few shrews selected from the relatives. These women were all very good at throwing tantrums, jumping up and down and cursing. Some of them even mastered the "Nine Yin White Bone Claw" to perfection, leaving five blood marks with one grab, which was very scary.
These women didn't come here for nothing; the employer had promised to pay them 300 yuan a day. However, the old man's daughter-in-law was quite shrewd. She took the wages sent by the employer every day and secretly deducted half of them as her own commission.
For women of their age, it is difficult to find a job that pays even 100 yuan a day, let alone 300 yuan a day, so the old man's daughter-in-law thought that offering 150 yuan to those relatives was already a good enough price.
When they heard the 150 yuan per day salary, the women immediately agreed, just as the old man's daughter-in-law had expected. Of course, these women didn't know the truth about the old man's suicide by poisoning, and they just thought it was a way to help others and get rid of a bad thing.
Although the deceased's wife was also forced to come over by his son and daughter-in-law, she sat on the ground stupidly and said nothing. Since the old man left, she had nothing to say and looked very pitiful.
