Chapter 144: You buried your bones in the mud under the spring
Even after hearing what the police said and walking into the ward blankly to look at Mei Zi who had fallen asleep again, **Ping still didn't feel it was real and still couldn't believe it.
It was not until the nurse came and taught her to turn Mei Zi over regularly and wipe her body to prevent bedsores that she felt the heart-wrenching pain when she touched Mei Zi's mattress and found that it was wet. She didn't know when she had urinated on the bed and Mei Zi was completely unaware of it.
Later, **Ping and his wife hired a car and took the paralyzed Mei Zi with them, resting along the way, and they finally returned home after five days.
Mei Zi's elder brother rushed back after knowing the situation. When he saw Mei Zi, he hugged her and they cried bitterly. ** Ping and her husband also shed tears silently, feeling extremely sad.
They are Mei Zi's parents, but Mei Zi has never cried in front of them after the accident. They are also cautious and dare not cry in front of Mei Zi, let alone discuss the matter. It seems that there is always a wall between them and her. Both parties behind the wall hide and are afraid to reveal their true feelings to each other.
For a long time, there was only silence between the mother and daughter, the father and daughter, and the couple.
**Ping held her breath, waiting for the police to bring the seven scumbags to justice. She wanted to see the criminals go to jail with her own eyes, otherwise she would never be able to let go of the hatred in her life.
However, before the criminal was sent to prison, he first saw Mei Zi's farewell.
That day, Mei Zi was lying on the special wheelchair they bought for the paralyzed. After ** Ping helped her change her diaper again, she suddenly burst into tears and said she was sorry for them. She only wanted freedom before and felt that her life from childhood to adulthood was too repressed. When she grew up, she just wanted to make her own choice.
So a long time ago, she decided to go to school far away from home, the farther the better, where they could not take care of her, the better.
She said that learning Tai Chi was the only thing she chose. Since she started learning Tai Chi, she has gained a sense of control over her life and has her own goals.
When she saw the girl being bullied that day by so many ruffians, she did hesitate, but deep down she always had a secret desire to prove herself, to live an outstanding life, to live in a way that her parents did not expect, to be free and unrestrained and to take action when the time was right.
So she rushed forward, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this. Not only did she ruin her life, but she also ended up causing so much trouble for her parents.
**Ping was so sad after hearing this that she hugged Mei Zi and burst into tears.
She also said a lot that day. She explained to Mei Zi that her family was not well off when she was young, and that Mei Zi's grandparents were honest people who made a living by their cooking skills. ** Ping wanted to make progress and was struggling in society, so she called them when she was most helpless. Both of them were helpless and did not understand the predicament she faced and had no way to deal with it. Every time ** Ping explained, the two would only reply, "We don't understand, you can handle it yourself."
From then on, ** Ping secretly decided in her heart that no matter what happened in the future, she would never be such a parent. She must help her child when he was in a dilemma. Even if it was just some advice, she would give her child definite ideas and not let her child feel isolated and helpless.
I didn't expect that I would go to extremes and become strong-willed parents. I didn't expect that after so many years, this is how my children saw me.
Both of them were heartbroken at the end of the conversation.
But **Ping was secretly relieved despite her sadness. She felt that this was the beginning of Mei Zi opening her heart. They would get to know each other better and better in the future. One day they would become truly close mother and daughter. It was only a matter of time.
Unexpectedly, the next day the nanny called crying and said that when she took Mei Zi for a walk, Mei Zi sent her away. When she came back, the wheelchair fell on the grass and she was gone.
The nanny had already called the police before making the call. **Ping hurried over and watched the police dispatch a professional lifeboat to salvage the body from the river below.
Three hours later, the police finally salvaged Mei Zi's body. She was cold and her skin felt stiff, like an orange peel that was about to rot.
The police reviewed the surveillance footage from the time. After sending the nanny away, Mei Zi used the electric function of her wheelchair to move forward to the front of the river bank. She then adjusted the angle of the seat, and used her hands to support the back of the chair to move her body. Finally, she fell off the wheelchair into the river.
When moving to the front, Mei Zi looked up at the surveillance camera, waved with a smile on her face, and looked very relaxed.
The police said that Mei Zi had chosen this location and time on purpose. Although it was already October, the weather was hot and few people would come out in the afternoon, let alone this half-developed riverside. There were very few surveillance cameras in the entire riverside area, but she happened to appear under the scarce surveillance. From the video, it seems that she knew about it, and maybe she did it this way to avoid causing trouble for the nanny.
**Ping completely collapsed. This deserted place that made it convenient for Mei Zi to commit suicide was chosen by her, and the wheelchair that allowed her to move easily was also chosen by her.
She was afraid that Meizi would have wild thoughts if she stayed at home for too long, so she took Meizi out for a walk every day. She was also afraid that other people's strange eyes would make Meizi feel uncomfortable, so she found a riverside with few people, good air, and not yet fully developed. She was afraid that Meizi would be uncomfortable lying down, but she didn't want to trouble others, so she chose a wheelchair that allowed her to move as much as possible...
**Ping no longer remembers how she got over the blow. Ten years have passed, and her memories of the incident and the details of the day of the incident have become very vague, but she still remembers the night when she had a heart-to-heart talk with Mei Zi, and remembers her promise to Mei Zi that she would be a tolerant mother who would not arbitrarily control her children's lives.
Now she has indeed done it. When her eldest son encountered various setbacks in his career in those years and started dating and getting married when he was nearly 35, she never said a word and stopped her husband from intervening. She only gave a suggestion or two when her son asked her for help.
My son said that she had changed a lot, and my little sister in heaven would be happy if she knew. But what's the use of being happy? You are buried in the mud and your bones have been rotten. In the end, you are gone.
"I noticed you guys practicing Tai Chi in the park for the first time, but I didn't dare to watch. For the past ten years, I didn't dare to watch anyone practicing Tai Chi. Later, I found out that you guys were there every morning, and I even started to take detours to avoid you.
But tomorrow is her tenth anniversary, and I missed her so much that I couldn't help but walk to the park." ** Ping looked calm, and her initial trembling gradually subsided with a flat tone, as if she was telling someone else's story.
"Xiao Zhao, your energy is exactly the same as hers back then. You can endure practicing boring basic skills for an hour even though young people are obviously sleepy. I don't know your family situation or the reason why you practice Tai Chi, but seeing you today is like seeing Mei Zi again. I'm really afraid that you are as impulsive as her and will act rashly without considering the consequences when encountering something."
