Chapter 229
Everyone in the entire community was crying. The Crying Stick Man walked out and went all the way to a village in the city. He heard someone crying there.
It walked into a village in the city.
Husserl leaned against a huge tree trunk at the entrance of the village, chewing some grass roots. He squinted his eyes and took a deep breath like he was smoking a cigarette. He felt the scent of a funeral and smiled subtly, "A familiar smell. This is where I should be."
He is a professor who specializes in folk funerals and usually travels around the world. Recently, due to insufficient funds, his activities were stopped, so he was bored and went out to relax. He didn't expect to encounter someone's death today. On the surface, he had to show a sad expression out of politeness, but in his heart, when he thought that he was in a place where someone had just died, he was so happy that he could almost hum a little song.
At first the people here didn't allow him to stay, but after he gave them money, they agreed.
The dead person was a little girl named Yaya. Normally, children are not allowed to be buried in the ancestral tomb before they reach adulthood. However, the child's mother, Min Qianqian, was in great pain. She screamed at the top of her lungs, begged and questioned, and made a big fuss. The villagers were annoyed by the fuss, so they told Min Qianqian's family that if they could come up with a sum of money that we all agreed on, we would allow them to handle the body and hold the funeral here.
When Min Qianqian was pregnant, her husband Mu Zijia died suddenly at work. Everyone around her advised her to have an abortion, but she was almost ten months pregnant at the time and it was difficult to find a hospital for an induced labor, so she had no choice but to give birth. However, her daughter was born with a disease, which was not discovered during the prenatal check-up. After the birth, she was unable to leave the hospital at all, and the family’s money was drained.
People around her advised her to give up treatment, but she disagreed.
Mu Zijia's mother Bai Yun and the family's distant relative and nurse Bai Ling advised her: "It would be better for everyone to give up treatment. The child doesn't know anything now. If she dies, she dies. It won't be particularly painful. You insist on her living. Have you thought about what will happen to her in the future? Even if she grows up, she will be half-dead. Living will only be more painful than death. She will resent you for giving birth to her and suffering from illness.
In order to take care of her, you have no job, no money, and have to borrow money from others everywhere. You have trampled on your dignity and cannot hold your head up for the rest of your life. You can never pay back the money. Do you feel comfortable?
Others can lend you money, but where can they get so much money? You have borrowed money again and again. We are not doing charity, nor do we have a lot of money at home, so we can ignore this hopeless treatment. If your child dies, you can have another one, or you can choose not to have one. If your husband dies, everyone is very sad, but we cannot live for him or for you. If you have no money, you have no money. It doesn't matter what you say.
It is best for you not to have a child in your situation, so that everyone will not suffer."
Min Qianqian was furious: "You are all in cahoots, coming here to bully me, right? I won't listen to you!"
She stared at her husband's mother, Bai Yun, angrily and asked, "Don't you feel bad that your little son died? Can't you love your little son's only daughter? Do you really want her to die?"
Bai Yun was almost fainted from anger: "He's my son, I care about him more than you do! How long have you known him, how long have I known him? But he's dead. I know better than you. You just don't know that he's already dead, that's why he's like this. What's the use of a dying daughter? You can't tell when she will die! Then I'll have to be sad again. It's better for her to die now. I'll feel better."
Bai Ling supported Bai Yun and said to Min Qianqian in disdain, "Yes, you don't care about other people's feelings at all, you only care about yourself. It's as if you are the only one who would be sad if someone died. Others are heartless, but you are the only one with a heart of a bodhisattva. Why are you pretending to be a good person? You created such a half-dead thing, isn't it just to ask others for money? Otherwise, can you not work? Can you stay here?"
Min Qianqian was trembling all over and couldn't speak.
Bai Ling sneered, "If you ask me, your daughter should just die and see her dead father. Your husband will definitely be happier if the whole family is reunited in the underworld. Everyone will be more relaxed than they are now, and they won't have to worry about dying at any time."
Min Qianqian shouted, "I love him, and I love my daughter, I thought about aborting the baby but she gave birth to the baby, I can't kill anyone, you are heartless."
Bai Ling said, "We are heartless? Do you remember how much money you owe us? Two million. You haven't even paid back one person's money, and you are still talking nonsense here. We are just too kind, so we lent you money, listened to you scolding people, and let you be so arrogant. Do you love your husband? He died, but you are still alive.
You should have aborted the fetus. So what if it was nine months? Even if it was ten months, it would be better than not being able to abort it. You keep saying that you love, but love is bullshit, you mother. You use the name of maternal love as a cover to borrow money and not pay it back, not work, and have fun happily. When others ask you for money, you act haggard and make people speechless.
If you are so stubborn, why don't you return the money to us? If you are so stubborn, how come your daughter is sick? Why hasn't your daughter recovered from her illness? It must be because you have done too many evil things. You caused your husband to die, your daughter to get sick, and even your mother-in-law is going to be mad at you. Everyone who sees you will be dragged down by you.
Bullshit maternal love. Damn you.
If you love her, how can you bear to see her in such pain? How can you be indifferent? You don't let her get rid of it as soon as possible, it's all your fault. You don't let her be healthy and safe, which means you are incompetent, cowardly, and useless, and you blame others. "
Min Qianqian cried bitterly and said to her daughter, "You will definitely not blame me, right? A living person wants to live, right? You don't want to die, right?"
When her daughter was two or three years old, as she wished, she always said to her: "I love you, I don't blame you, I like you very much."
Later, when I found out, I was no longer so. When I was five years old, I always hated her and scolded her, "You always think that others owe you something, and others should listen to your nonsense. Bullshit motherly love, it's just a bullshit to deceive yourself!"
At the age of six, she made up her mind to commit suicide.
She tried many times, but was treated as a mental patient, tied up, locked up, and Min Qianqian pointed at her and scolded her: "I'm doing this for your own good, isn't it? You're alive today because I love you! You're just arrogant because you're spoiled. If it weren't for me, you would have died long ago. You say you want to die, but you wish you had never lived. Why don't you die? Why are you still alive? You're shameless, you ungrateful person."
The daughter said angrily, "How dare you blame others for your own shamelessness? If it weren't for you, would I have so many problems? If you hadn't insisted on getting me out, I wouldn't have to be in this fucking state now, waiting to die in the hospital! What's the point of me living? It's just to die in more pain! Do you think I don't want to die?
Of course I'm going to die! If you hadn't pulled me in here, I wouldn't be alive today! It's all your damn fault. You'd better die!
Don't ask me to be ashamed for you, or I'll kill you. If I have the chance, I hate you. An ungrateful bastard? Fuck you. You took all the family's money and didn't pay it back, but you're not an ungrateful bastard. You caused your husband to die, but you're not. You caused your sister to die for money, but you're not.
What are you pretending for? If you loved me, you would have urged me to die? If you loved me, would you have made me a debtor since I was born and called an ugly bastard, a rubbish, and an ungrateful person? Bullshit! If you loved me, you wouldn't have used such words to insult me. Don't think I don't know. You wanted to brainwash me when I was a child. I'm very sober now.
I couldn't be more sober.
I am so clear-headed. I have seen through your hypocritical, trashy mask. I have seen enough! When are you going to die? You are the one who should die the most! You are the one who should die! Why are you alive? Why are you still alive today? Why didn’t you die suddenly, have a job, or get sick? Why can you blame others so righteously? Damn it.
Whoever likes her mother, I will make her laugh to death, and they will laugh to death for the rest of their lives! Whoever dares to mention their shitty parents in front of me, I will kill them immediately! Don't think I can't do it! Don't think I don't dare! You can just trap me here and kill me here, what are you pretending for! As if you are a very normal person.
It's like you live in a very happy country!
You are all sick! You all deserve to die! You all go to hell! Go to hell!"
The daughter still died before Min Qianqian.
Although Min Qianqian cried bitterly, who knew what she was thinking in her heart?
"Maybe she's just happy to finally be free of a burden."
"There is no filial son for a long-term sick bed. The same is true for changing roles. Do you think that parents in the world will be happy if they raise a child with a bad temper for a long time? That's not necessarily true."
Wei Dazui, who was eating melon seeds at the village entrance, was talking to his wife Hua Xiaoxiao.
Hua Xiaoxiao smiled and said, "Yeah, if it were me, I would have beaten her long ago. Or I would have killed her at night. Who would stay that long? She really wanted to show off her so-called motherly love to others. She wanted to be pitied and thought cute so that she could find a rich man to remarry! Hahaha."
Wei Dazui nodded: "Yes, yes, if it were me, I would definitely do that."
The two looked at each other and smiled: "We are indeed husband and wife."
Wei Dazui twisted his small face and said, "Yes, my wife, you smell so good."
Hua Xiaoxiao slapped him and said, "What? You're so dirty and you're still eating melon seeds. You want to kiss someone else? You don't mind. I'm leaving."
As she spoke, she turned around, twisted her waist, walked into the house, and closed the door.
Wei Dazui finished eating the melon seeds, clapped his hands, and rushed into the house with a smile on his face.
The two of them took off their clothes, rolled around and wrestled on the bed, laughing and joking.
