life struggle

The ambulance arrived soon, and Zhao Shuting was dragged to Yuanzhen Hospital with its piercing siren, and then sent to the psychiatric ward. 【 】

Qin Meixiang settled her mother in the hospital, looked dazed, and went back to the home of the family members of the county party committee. From a distance, she saw a cordon around the small courtyard, and two policemen stood guard on both sides of the gate, and walked closer , was about to set off the cordon and walk in, but was stopped by the policeman, "Don't move forward, step back."

"Brother policeman, please forgive me. I am the daughter of this family. I want to go in to get some personal necessities. Please, please help me and accommodate me."

"The superior has an order that no one is allowed to enter without the consent of the task force. You should leave as soon as possible."

No matter how hard Qin Meixiang begged, she would not let her in.

Qin Meixiang saw that begging the police was of no avail, so she hurried to the office of Secretary Kou of the County Party Committee, and cried as soon as she entered, "Secretary Kou, my house is under the control of the police now, and the two policemen will not let me in. Now my father hasn't Burial, my mother is staying in the hospital, no matter how big the crimes and mistakes they committed, after all, they are the parents who gave birth to me and raised me, and it is only right and proper for me to take care of them, see the doctor, and fulfill my filial piety and obligations. Now, I A girl has no home and can’t go back. What do you think I should do? At least I have to have a place to live. I have to go home to get some of my personal daily necessities. The organization can’t just let it go. .”

Secretary Kou looked at Qin Meixiang's pitiful appearance, felt pity in his heart, and said with tears in the corners of his eyes, "Meixiang, uncle knows that you are a filial and sensible boy, and you are innocent. Your mother and you, in fact, uncle is very sad, but now the case is not over, the investigation is not completely over, and there is no clear instruction from the past, it is really difficult for you to enter the house. But don't worry, uncle Get in touch with the task force now and get their advice on letting you in to get some personal items."

After many inquiries and coordination from Secretary Kou, Qin Meixiang returned home under the close surveillance of three policemen, retrieved her mother, her own clothes and simple daily necessities, and was arranged to live in a temporary warehouse in the County Party Committee’s Family Hospital as a Temporary residence for him and his mother.

At about eight o'clock that night, according to the instructions and requirements of the county party committee and the county government, ten policemen quietly transported Qin Shengwu's coffin from the auditorium to the cemetery at his home in Nanguan, the county seat, for burial.

There is a saying: When a tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when a wall falls, everyone pushes them away. "No one cares about the poor in the busy city, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains." The relatives who often come to the door to follow suit and the so-called friends who are like buddies to help with things, are afraid of being implicated, and they all disregard all ties for a while, avoiding the best, and running away like the plague. , No one came to see Dad off for the last time.

Qin Meixiang suddenly felt that people's hearts are not old, the world is cold and indifferent, and in an instant, her head hurt like never before, and everything around her became completely strange. Very lonely, lost, sad and desolate.

Zhao Shuting stayed in the hospital for seven or eight days, but her condition did not improve. The doctor suggested that Qin Meixiang take her to Beijing, Shanghai and other big hospitals for treatment.Qin Meixiang didn't dare to go back to the family home, she was afraid of seeing someone despise her with strangely stern eyes, she was afraid of hearing someone say that she was the daughter of Qin Shengwu, a vile, shameless, morally corrupt Qin Shengwu, and she was even more afraid of someone pointing and swearing behind her back to die dad.She stayed alone outside the ward for a few days, thinking over and over again about a question in her heart, Yuanzhen was determined not to stay here any longer, she had to take her mother away from this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and go far away , as far away as possible, to a place where no one knows them.

During this time, she thought of Wu Xiaojun the most, but she was terrified, as if she would lose him and lose a loved one.Sudden misfortune and misfortune happened to my family, and I was always worried that my beloved would follow me like other people and stay away. I lost confidence in myself for a while.I also feel that it is the greatest disrespect for him to blame him for being attached to him, and he should not bear his misfortune and pain.She was very conflicted in her heart, she dared not and did not want to mention her situation and experience to her beloved one, and she did not want to see the world's coldness and human indifference being tested by Wu Xiaojun. She regarded him as her last hope and decided to bury him in her heart. .

The fragmented family, heavy psychological pressure and ruthless reality forced Qin Meixiang to choose to give up her studies, leave her beloved, and take her crazy mother away.

She returned to Xiangzhou University without saying a word, and after completing the formalities of abandoning school, she was in a daze in the dormitory with a dazed expression.

She felt infinite humiliation and shame for the family where she grew up, and faced Wu Xiaojun facelessly. After a strong ideological struggle, she finally wrote him the last farewell letter with tears in her eyes, worrying that he would not receive it in case of accidents. I personally delivered it to Luo Xiao, and asked her to find a chance to hand it over to Wu Xiaojun face to face.Afterwards, he returned to his temporary place in Yuanzhen Hospital.

Qin Meixiang bit the bullet and told her mother's relatives one by one about the idea of ​​taking her mother out to see a doctor. The most common sentence she heard was, "You have grown up, and you should take the responsibility of taking care of your mother. It is not easy for others to intervene and Do something." To his disappointment, each of them reacted rather flatly, without giving any concern or spiritual comfort.

Five days later in the morning, Qin Meixiang got everything ready, and with the help of kind doctors and nurses at the hospital, she quietly picked up her mother from the hospital, went to the coach station, and boarded the long-distance bus from Yuanzhen to Beijing. bus.

The moment the bus pulled out of the station, through the reflection of the window glass, she saw Wu Xiaojun who was dodging the vehicle, saw Wu Xiaojun running desperately to chase her, and shouted her name hoarsely, her first reaction was Wu Xiaojun Knowing my experience and misfortune, I still pretended to be myself in my heart, loved myself deeply, and did not despise or despise myself. I felt very sad for a while, tears filled my eyes, and I was at a loss.She calmed down a bit, and strongly controlled her instinctive stress reaction. She didn't dare to turn her head and meet his frightened and disappointed gaze. She didn't wave to him to signal her to leave, but chose Jing Jing with her teeth and tears Leaving happily, burying the happy moments with him in the bottom of my heart, and leaving a mystery of love and hate full of mystery to my first love.

From then on, Qin Meixiang's mother and daughter disappeared from people's sight, and no one knew their whereabouts again.
