Chapter 127: One Suffering After Another
Chu Yao now understood why Yi Congfan said that the human trafficker knew how to manipulate human nature.
She not only made adults feel the pain of losing and regaining, but also losing again.
It also allows the child to feel the pain of being abandoned and replaced.
He was imprisoned for five years and suffered tortures that others could not imagine, but he still had to hold on and wait for his parents to come and rescue him.
When he returned home, he found that his parents had already given birth to a healthy younger brother and were planning to start a new life. They had given up on him long ago.
It seemed as if he had no other way out except death.
The human trafficker used this method to carry out extremely cruel retaliation against a conscientious judge and destroyed her family.
However, after hearing this, Chu Yao still didn't understand why Yi Congfan was in jail.
She asked tentatively, "Ms. Yi, you said you broke the law knowingly...was it because you used illegal means to retaliate against the human trafficker?"
After all, this story is too bitter.
She just listened, and she wanted to cut the human trafficker into pieces.
But Yi Congfan shook his head: "No, after I found the child, the trafficker was arrested and sentenced to death."
"I broke the law knowing it was my fault because I wanted to kill my child myself."
Yi Congfan reached out to the glass window from a distance and saw that her child had calmed down under the caregiver's comfort.
The pain in her eyes still did not dissipate.
"My Dabao hoped that his younger brother could become a useful person, but his hope was dashed."
"About a year after his death, we found out that Erbao was autistic."
"Movies and TV dramas often glorify children with autism, not only making people think the disease is nothing serious, but sometimes even giving them the persona of genius."
"But in fact, only a very small number of them are geniuses. Most children with autism have low intelligence, developmental delays, and confused perceptions, and often hurt themselves and others."
Chu Yao nodded silently. She knew about autism.
When she was receiving treatment in the Heartland, there were also children with autism there for treatment.
In order to help their parents understand the disease, doctors simulated the world as seen by autistic children.
What sounds just a little bit loud to normal people is particularly harsh and sharp to their ears.
Colors that appear only slightly out of place to normal people appear very chaotic and glaring to autistic people, causing them to feel upset.
They may exhibit stereotyped behaviors, avoid socializing, and repeat the same things every day.
They become extremely upset at the slightest change in their daily routine.
This anxiety can turn into emotional behavior, such as banging their heads against the wall, biting themselves, yelling...it's almost a daily occurrence for them.
The key is that there is no way to avoid it.
Because this disease cannot be detected during prenatal examinations.
By the time it is discovered, the child is usually two or three years old.
"My children are in pain, and my husband and I are in pain."
Yi Congfan leaned her head against the iron fence, her eyes bitter yet gentle, as she silently watched her child.
"I've thought countless times that it would have been better if my second baby hadn't been born."
"Our eldest child won't be so sad when he returns home, and maybe he'll survive."
"I was so upset for a long time, until one day, my second child had a seizure and hit my husband's head with a chair, causing him to bleed. Then I made a decision."
"My husband and I agreed to take Dabao's ashes and Erbao with us and die together as a family."
“We planned a beautiful route and had a great day of sightseeing.”
"The baby was very well behaved that day and didn't lose his temper the entire day."
"In the evening, my family drove our car up the mountain, burned charcoal in the car, and looked at the orange sunset in the distance, intending to end our unfortunate lives there."
"But just when I was about to lose consciousness, Erbao suddenly called out softly, 'Mom, I feel so bad'... I immediately regretted it."
"I didn't want to die anymore. I wanted to open the car door, but my husband held me tightly and wouldn't let me leave. I struggled with him for a long time, and finally I jumped out of the car and ran away with my second child..."
"My husband drove right after me... He was the one who broke my leg."
"But he had inhaled too much carbon monoxide and was already unconscious. He soon lost control of the car and fell off the cliff."
"My husband is dead. I have a broken leg."
"I assisted another person in committing suicide by providing a plan and buying the charcoal for the suicide, which constitutes intentional homicide."
"But I changed my mind midway, intervened, and saved the child. It was ultimately deemed that I had committed a crime under Article 24 of the Criminal Law, which reduced my punishment and ultimately resulted in a three-year sentence."
Yi Congfan stopped talking here.
She had been a judge, and before she knew it she was speaking legalese.
She didn't want to talk about it anymore because she felt bad for herself too.
She studied for a master's degree in law, worked in a grassroots court for five years, passed one exam after another, and became a judge at the age of 29. Everyone praised her for her youth and promising potential.
She used to love her job so much and wanted to live a golden life.
But in the end, because of the retaliation of the human traffickers and several wrong choices she made in her life, she gradually became like this.
I feel so sorry for my hard work back then.
After a pause, she suddenly laughed softly, her laughter full of self-mockery.
She suddenly thought of the attitudes of her elders after these tragic events.
It's really funny.
So many relatives advised them to have another child.
As someone who had experienced this, he vowed that as long as they had another child, their relationship would be stabilized and the pain of losing a child would be healed.
Later, the child was born and had problems.
All the elders who had advised them to have children now stayed away.
Including her parents-in-law and her parents.
Her parents-in-law never took care of Erbao at all, but her parents did take care of him for a few days.
But he soon broke down because of Erbao and ran away from her.
The main reason is that they are both a couple and neither of them is from a family with only one child.
My parents and in-laws have many healthy grandchildren, but they are too lazy to establish any relationship with this autistic grandson who cannot communicate with them.
Erbao wants to live in a special children's shelter even though he has elders around him.
Well, just listen to other people's opinions.
They are just giving you some advice. If something really goes wrong, you will be the only one responsible.
After she finished speaking, she looked calmly at Chu Yao and Qin Jiahuai, who was silent beside her the entire time.
Originally, she hadn't planned to tell anyone about these things.
At first, Qin Jiahuai didn't know the whole truth, but he came here many times in the past few years.
He said that his wife had always been thinking about her and always remembered the kindness he had shown her. If he didn't find out what happened to her, her mental illness would get worse.
In exchange, he also donated money to the shelter and helped take care of Erbao.
Yi Congfan withdrew his gaze and said to Chu Yao, "Thank you for the crab roe noodles today. From now on, don't worry about me anymore, and don't use me as a spiritual support. I am just an ordinary woman... who made many wrong decisions and took many wrong paths."
Chu Yao was confused and her throat was choked.
The sufferings that Yi Congfan endured one after another were beyond the imagination of any normal person.
She can still stand here and say these words to her calmly. Her ability to endure is greater than many people.
It turns out that for the past ten years, her spiritual pillar, behind the halo of a righteous judge, was also an ordinary unfortunate woman.
Chu Yao is not very good at saying comforting words.
She reached out and gently hugged Yi Congfan.
Yi Congfan's emotions were very stable just now, but now he couldn't control himself and tears suddenly welled up.
She didn't cry when she decided to die, and she didn't cry when she was sentenced to jail.
But this hug suddenly made her feel so wronged.
But there is no other way in this life.
