Nanshan Nursing Home
"The fee for bed No. 72, Mrs. Li, has been delayed for half a month, and she still hasn't paid it?"
"Pay your money, bullshit. I called her eldest son and he said he paid last month and it's her second son's turn to pay this month. I called her second son and he hung up as soon as he heard it was our nursing home's number."
"Does she have another daughter?"
"Her daughter answered the phone last year, and she would come to visit every month or so and give the old lady a wash. When she called again this year, she got through."
"Why does it stink so bad? That old lady must have had diarrhea again." The nurse rolled up his sleeves, walked to bed 72, and slapped the pale, wrinkled face of old lady Li twice.
"I told you to scream when you're about to poop. Scream! You understand what I'm saying, right?"
"Oh, be gentle. If your face gets swollen, her family will find out and they'll cause trouble for you." said another nurse while eating melon.
"Don't worry, this old lady has been in the nursing home for more than two years. Her daughter occasionally came to visit her last year. More than half a year has passed, and none of her children have come to see her. They don't care even if you beat her to death."
"Her two sons are so filial." The nurse who was eating melon sighed.
"At first glance, she is a kind mother who treats her child well, so the child is filial. If she is a good mother, would the child treat her like this? This kind of behavior deserves it."
“Wuwuwu…” Old Mrs. Li sobbed and cried, with big tears rolling down from the corners of her eyes.
She had never been good to her children. She devoted everything she had to them and spent half her life on them. She did everything she could for them, and she helped raise her grandchildren.
She also wanted to understand why she ended up like this?
After the old man retired, they lived with the eldest son's family. The old man had a pension, but she had none. The eldest couple treated the old woman very well. They really treated her like their mother and they despised her, but it was just about acceptable.
As soon as the old man left, the eldest brother discussed her retirement issue with the second brother Zhao.
The old house was demolished, and the youngest daughter, as she had no money, said that she had no property and no obligation to provide for the elderly, so she refused to participate.
The second oldest said that the oldest was the oldest. When the old man was still alive, he also said that he would live with the oldest. Besides, the old man’s retirement salary is subsidized to their family, so they should support him.
The eldest son said that she was partial to the second son and gave the job to him. It was the second son's turn to support the mother. He had supported the mother for so many years and he had fulfilled his responsibilities.
The two brothers blamed each other and quarreled to the point of tossing and turning. Finally, they decided that each of them would take care of the child for three months, taking turns.
They said they were supporting her, but whether she was at the eldest or the second son's house, she had to work and was looked down upon by her daughter-in-law.
She said that the food was overcooked, the floor was not mopped, the clothes were not washed, she did this and that, but it was useless when she got old.
Especially the second son's wife, she treated her the worst and even cursed her for being old and dead.
She was at the second brother's house, and she dared not breathe heavily.
Three years passed like this. Two years ago, when she was cleaning the second son's house and picked up the clothes that his wife had put on the bed, the money fell out and landed on the ground.
She bent down to pick it up, and the second son's wife came into the room and saw it. She pushed her to the ground and accused her of stealing money.
No matter how she explained, the second son's wife said that she wanted to steal money and take it back to the eldest son's house.
The fall caused her to break her leg.
She was in pain and endured it for two days, begging the second son to take her to the hospital. The second son's wife said she was pretending to be weird, and the second son also asked her to calm down. Then she became paralyzed.
Then, the two brothers discussed and decided to send her to a nursing home, choosing the lowest standard, 1,800 yuan a month, which the two brothers took turns to pay.
The payment was made on time in the first year, but I don’t know what happened this year, when it was the second child’s turn, the payment was always in arrears.
She also became one of the old ladies who was often beaten by the caregivers. She was not given food to eat and her pants were not changed when she defecated. Her buttocks and thighs were covered with bedsores.
She could even feel something crawling on her butt and drilling into her flesh. It must be maggots.
She was afraid. What she feared most was insects, but now her body was covered with insects.
Except for her daughter, who came to see her a few times in the first year and gave her cleaning.
She was suffering so much in the nursing home that she begged the girl to take her out. When she was rejected, she was angry and sad, and she scolded the girl. The girl never came again.
"You're not a good mother, and you still have the nerve to cry. If you're still crying out of anger, then don't eat."
After saying that, the nurse called another nurse to go out.
Old Mrs. Li closed her eyes in despair, her body gradually growing colder from hunger and fear.
Before her consciousness faded, she asked a question from the depths of her soul.
Is it really because I am not a good enough mother?
It's not that she is a good enough mother, but she used her own flesh and blood to feed two ungrateful and ungrateful children.
…
"Crackle, crackle..."
Old Mrs. Li opened her eyes amid the sound of firecrackers. Her sister-in-law, Lin Qiufang, pushed her and said, "Sister-in-law, why are you still standing there? The bride is already at the door."
Old Mrs. Li stared blankly at the young girl Lin Qiufang, who only had some fine lines at the corners of her eyes, and did not react for a moment.
Was Lin Qiufang already in her teens when she died? How come he's in the underworld? He looks to be in his early thirties.
Speaking of her younger sister, Lin Qiufang is also pitiful. She married a domestic violence man. No one noticed it at first, and he didn't beat her very often. After a few years, the man was laid off, and he started to beat Lin Qiufang frequently, and he didn't care how hard he beat her.
Lin Qiufang was afraid that others would know about the loss, so she also said that they would not know until he was beaten to death.
Her children also issued letters of forgiveness, and her son was released after serving only a few years in prison.
"Sister-in-law, why are you looking at me?" Lin Qiufang frowned. "Your second daughter-in-law is gone, go and welcome the bride."
Welcoming the bride?
Old Mrs. Li came back to her senses, glanced around the main hall that was decorated with lights, then looked outside at the courtyard filled with tables, and touched her hand with her left hand, which was hot. It must be a ghost.
If I pinch it again, it will hurt. It must be a dream.
She was reborn!
Reborn to see the second brother getting married!
"Grandma Xi is here, Grandma Xi is here..."
Before Mrs. Li could react, a group of young people she didn't know ran towards her and grabbed her hands and feet.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Lin Qiufang shouted as she was pushed away.
"There is no distinction between the young and old in a marriage. We are here to make the wedding gown, so please stay out of your way." The speaker was the bride Liu Qin's younger brother, his palms were covered in soot and his face was filled with naked malice.
"Let me go. We don't need this." Old Mrs. Li struggled.
The story of her previous life was the story of her second son's marriage, and it was also her most humiliating story.
