Chapter 366

In the town, the store on the first floor of the Zhang family.

That is the current mourning hall.

In the messy mourning hall, Zhang Tianqiang sat down on the stool at the door, his eyes downcast, very decadent.

But his wife Tan Xueying didn't know where she was.

Zhang Tianqiang is now in a very uncomfortable mood and irritable. He doesn't know why he has become like this, what he has done wrong all these years, and why his daughter died. Bury his daughter.

Over the years, although he was a bit domineering and too selfish in dealing with others, he did not provoke public anger and make the neighbors fear him.

Suddenly, a dark shadow appeared in front of his eyes. Zhang Tianqiang looked up with a heavy heart, and when he found that it was Lu's father, his eyes flashed with horror.

About Lu Hui's family, he has actually heard about it a long time ago. Last week, Father Lu came back from the urban area for medical treatment. He has also heard about it. Sometimes he can see Father Lu passing by in a small electric donkey at the door. .

However, we never had a chance to talk face to face.

Lu's father was seriously ill and almost died in the hospital. The news spread in the town. It is said that Lu Hui visited all the relatives in the town to treat her parents.

But few are willing to lend a helping hand.

He clearly remembered that Lu Hui also came to look for him at that time, but he refused.

In fact, their Zhang family is not related to the Lu family, it's just that everyone is from the same town and they are familiar with each other.At the beginning, he thought that Lu Hui's parents might not be cured, so he refused, and did not lend a penny to treat Lu Hui's parents.

Looking at Father Lu, whose figure was slightly thinner and his complexion had returned to ruddy, Zhang Tianqiang couldn't tell at all that Father Lu was a man of the same age who suffered from a terminal illness and was cured.

In fact, the age difference between him and Lu's father is not very big.

"Why, don't you invite me to sit down and have a drink?"

Father Lu was very happy, with a smile on his face, as if he had forgotten that his daughter came to Zhang Tianqiang to lend him money to see a doctor but was rejected.

One sentence awakened Zhang Tianqiang, who was absent-minded. He shook his head slightly, temporarily dismissing the pain in his heart, and stared into Father Lu's eyes. He was very surprised and didn't understand why Father Lu came to him.

To ridicule him?
But looking at Lu's father, it doesn't seem like it.

"You have something to do with me?" He looked at Father Lu with concern.

In fact, deep inside he was embarrassed.

At the beginning, Lu Hui came to him to borrow money, but he thought at the time that Lu Hui's parents were hopelessly ill, and once they borrowed money, they would definitely not come back.

So he didn't borrow it, and now facing Lu's father, this matter automatically popped up in his mind, making him feel very embarrassed deep in his heart.

People who thought they were going to die of illness did not die.Instead, it was his own daughter who died, what a trick!
"Can't I come to you if I have nothing? Don't worry, I'm not here to borrow money from you."

The daughter was in the town, and after asking all the acquaintances, she couldn't borrow money. In fact, Father Lu knew about it.In fact, he doesn't blame them. They are willing to borrow it because they are kind enough to help you, sympathize with you, and give you face.

People don't borrow it, that's a matter of course.

After all, people don't owe you anything.

When the matter of borrowing money was mentioned, Zhang Tianqiang, who was already pale and weak, became even more embarrassed. A bitter smile instantly covered his face. He shook his head and sighed, "My daughter died, and my grandson was also taken away by some beast. Even my relatives laughed at me behind my back."

"Isn't it normal to laugh at you!"

Father Lu said bluntly without any hesitation: "Just like my wife, I was sick and hospitalized last year, and almost couldn't be cured. I think, when you hear the news, you must talk about it after dinner, treating it as an irrelevant joke. Small talk."

"When someone dies, it's normal to be talked about, even relatives. If no one talks about you, it's a strange thing."

As long as one's own family is not involved, the life and death of others is almost irrelevant.

Lu's father, who has been through the ghost gate once, naturally has a deep understanding of this kind of human relationship.

The state of the world is inherently cold, so don't pretend to be passionate.

Just because you care about others doesn't mean others will care about you.

Life is life and death. Whoever dies, life will continue to revolve in the same way.

"Is it? lol!"

Zhang Tianqiang laughed at himself, sat down on the stool, looked at the dark sky with dull eyes, and said lightly: "You may be right, but do you know what it feels like to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person? You know what it's like now ?"

Daughter died.

The grandson was taken away by the door-to-door son-in-law.

There are only two of them alone in the family.

What else can you do with a body that is over half a century old?
There is no hope at all in life, life is better than death!

th.

"I don't know, and I don't want to know."

Father Lu came to Zhang Tianqiang not to listen to his cries, but to help Liu Mang.

"But the pain you endured is not the most painful."

He frowned and said in a low voice, "It's true that your daughter died, but I think she didn't experience any pain before she died, and you and your wife didn't witness your daughter showing signs of dying."

"Everyone is dead, you will definitely say that there is nothing in this world that makes parents more distressed than losing their children."

"But if I tell you, if you have experienced the pain and despair of our family, then you will not think so."

"Seeing myself getting sick but having no money for medical treatment, I can only keep struggling in anticipation and despair. I can't aspire to survive. Watching my daughter keep asking for help but getting no response in order to prepare medical expenses for her parents. I almost married someone I didn't like because of this, thus delaying my life's happiness."

"With the medical expenses, I spend every day exhausted physically and mentally. I am afraid that I will die if the cure is not cured. Every day is like a year, and I am living a chemotherapy life that is worse than death."

"In your eyes, the death of your daughter is the most painful thing in the world, but is it true? The greatest pain in the world is seeing your loved ones slowly tortured to death by being entangled in illness. This is called the most fashionable thing." Painful thing."

Not only did he run out of family wealth, but he was also physically and mentally exhausted. Seeing his relatives being tortured by diseases, he was in pain.

That kind of pain is a tormenting process.

And the death of a loved one, no matter how uncomfortable it is, will not be a very painful process.

Like Zhang Tianqiang, the pain is only for a period of time. After a while, the scar will be gradually forgotten in time.

This was the first time he was reprimanded since his daughter's death, and Zhang Tianqiang felt very uncomfortable hearing this.

He knew that Father Lu was talking about himself.

In the first half of last year, he and his wife were both admitted to the hospital. Their life savings were not enough to stay in the hospital for a week, or even to have an operation.

At that time, in order to treat the illness, his daughter begged all the acquaintances in the town, including relatives.

But when I heard that he was suffering from cancer, his wife couldn't stand the stimulation and had cerebral hemorrhage, and it was found out that he was going to undergo heart bypass surgery.

Starting with a few million at every turn, whoever dares to borrow money will simply find no way out.

That is to say, to die.

In such a desperate and painful situation, I believe that no matter the young or the old, they will collapse.

If Zhang Tianqiang's guess is correct, Father Lu couldn't bear the pressure at that time, and there must have been thoughts of suicide in his heart, so as not to drag his daughter down, not only the debts would be high, but the disease would not be cured.

People and money are empty.

In comparison, the mental torture and struggle Father Lu suffered at that time is absolutely incomprehensible to others.

Struggling on the edge of life and death.

This is worse than dying directly.

It is simply that life is worse than death, and death is worse than life.

"Yes! Compared with the pain you have suffered, the death of my daughter is actually not such a sympathetic thing. Everyone is mortal, it's just a matter of time."

Staring at Father Lu, Zhang Tianqiang knew that the pain and suffering that this person of the same age who was a few years younger than him in front of him was beyond his imagination: "But what I am not reconciled to is that the two grandsons were killed by Yao Jin." The white-eyed wolf took it away."

"Everyone is mortal. My daughter will die, I will die, and my grandson will die too. However, I can't let the Zhang family lose their incense and have no children to carry on the family line. Zong."

Zhang Tianqiang's heart ached when his daughter died.

However, this is not the reason why he has not buried his daughter.

He didn't bury him because he wanted to return his two grandchildren.

"One matter is one matter. If you do this, what if you win back two grandchildren? If you let them face the world's ridicule and pointing."

Father Lu and Zhang Tianqiang are both young people, and when they talk, they naturally have the same sense of communication as their peers: "Now that your daughter is not buried, it has alarmed the neighbors in the whole town, even the police and some leaders They are all dispatched, I don’t think you are an outdated old man, naturally you know that the Internet is developing very fast now.”

"A lot of information can travel throughout China in just a few minutes, and it is not impossible to travel across the entire earth in a few hours."

"Once your daughter is not buried, it will be known all over the country. Your family will become famous in the future. It doesn't matter if you lose face. You have no face at all when you are old, but what about your grandson? What about your relatives? Do you think you are okay with doing something wrong and embarrassing the whole family and even yourself? "

In the past six months, Lu's father and his wife have naturally learned to play around with WeChat Moments.

Knowing a lot of things, once it is exposed, it is beyond your control.

When these words came out of Father Lu's mouth, Zhang Tianqiang was frightened and panicked, his body was trembling, his complexion became very pale, and he looked straight at Father Lu.

If it is true what Father Lu said.

At that time, he will be alone and isolate the entire Zhang family.

The neighbors in the neighborhood hated him.

Friends and relatives loathed him.

Strangers stay away from him.

If things evolve to this scene, their family will be completely finished.

When going out, people will point and point, and when the grandson grows up, he will be looked down upon.

Relatives will do the same, when the time comes...

The "greetings" from relatives alone are enough to make him completely collapse.

"Then what should I do?" Zhang Tianqiang, who had been refusing to listen to other people's persuasion, felt very uneasy at this moment.

He knew that he had done something wrong, and if he continued to make mistakes, he would be completely hopeless.

"What you should do depends on your own choice."

Having said so much, seeing that Zhang Tianqiang's stubborn attitude finally relaxed, Father Lu also heaved a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice, "I know you want to return your two grandsons, but it is not an easy task to return your two grandchildren. , I don’t understand this kind of thing, let my son-in-law talk to you!”

He turned around and looked not far away, Liu Mang and Xiao Doubi, who had been smoking under a tree, waved their hands to signal that they could come over.

When someone took a closer look and found out that it was Liu Mang's comparison with Xiao Dou, Zhang Tianqiang's pupils shrank suddenly, showing a look of astonishment.

son in law?

Is this Liu Mang Lu's father's son-in-law?

"Uncle Zhang, we meet again."

Liu Mang greeted Zhang Tianqiang with a smile, "You have already thought about it! Do you want to get back the custody of the two grandchildren?"

"Are you sure, you can help me win back my two grandsons!" Zhang Tianqiang said word by word.

He only cares about his two grandchildren now, and he doesn't care about the rest.

If someone could help him find his two grandsons, it would be better for his daughter's body to be buried as soon as possible.

In fact, he himself knew that delaying the burial of his daughter's body was a very immoral thing. It not only ruined his daughter's reputation, but also affected the normal lives of others.

Liu Mang, who was not a lawyer, naturally did not have the ability to fight for the custody of his two grandsons. He shook his head slightly and said solemnly: "Although I am not a lawyer, I still think from the perspective of human nature. You are just two Grandson's grandfather, your son-in-law Yao Jin is still alive, and you want custody of your two grandchildren, from a normal point of view, it is obviously a difficult matter."

"But you have also seen that Yao Jin's health is not very good, and his family background is also very poor. Even if he intends to raise two sons, it is unrealistic."

"If you have a good talk with him, you should be able to win the custody of one of the grandchildren. As for the two, don't think about it. If it goes to the court, it will only be one."

"This is a normal situation. As for special circumstances, you need to ask a lawyer for help. I am not a lawyer, not a professional."

Hearing Liu Mang's words, Zhang Tianqiang's long-lost surprise appeared on Zhang Tianqiang's face when he was able to win the custody of one of his grandsons.

Sweeping away the paleness and haggardness on his face, he revealed his vigor.

When I am old, I am afraid of losing my children and grandchildren.

This is a deep-rooted idea of ​​country people, and many city people cannot understand it.

I don’t know, it’s already the 21st century, why are there still so many people who favor boys over girls.

In fact, they are not to blame for this, because the family and economic conditions in townships are not as good as those in the city. They can still get pensions when they are old, and at worst they can spend the rest of their lives in nursing homes.

As for the elderly living in towns and villages, if the conditions are not good and the family is poor, once they are old, unable to move around and unable to take care of themselves, they will have no children to take care of them, and they will just sit and wait for death.

No wonder why they are so patriarchal.

This is for them, so that when they get old, they can have someone to take care of them, so that no one will care about them if they starve to death, and no one will find out if the corpse stinks.

This is human nature.

Looking at it from Zhang Tianqiang's point of view, his request was actually not too much.

It's just that the means are a bit outrageous.

Of course, Liu Mang sneered at his behavior and his treatment of Yao Jin, his son-in-law.

"One... one... also, this is the son of Yao Jin and my daughter after all. If the custody of the two children is taken away, Yao Jin will definitely look for me like me, desperately." Zhang Tianqiang said dejectedly.

　Number one is over, ask for a wave of rewards!
