On the evening of the fifth day of Mi Zheng's trip, Tang Susu received a call from him.
On the phone, Mi Zheng was panting and said to her, "We have found A Xiang's mother, she seems crazy."
Thousands of kilometers away, Mi Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and glanced back at a dilapidated bungalow not far behind from time to time.
This morning, they learned from Chen Xiang's grandmother that Chen Xiang's mother had been in her hometown for a while, but she did not live at home.
When they came over according to the old man's instructions, they were all surprised.
Mi Zheng also visited Chen Xiang's house as a guest. In his impression, Chen Xiang's mother was a very shrewd and sophisticated woman.
But the woman in front of them had disheveled long hair that hadn't been washed for a long time, dressed in clothes with almost no color, and huddled in a dilapidated bungalow that they could call a dilapidated house.
The moment she saw her son, her first action was to run away, she didn't even wear shoes.
A few of them managed to capture Chen Xiang's mother without hurting anyone.
Chen Xiang didn't want to just believe that his mother was crazy. It's been almost an hour since he went in alone. If Mi Zheng didn't come out in another half an hour, he must rush in.
In the cramped and cramped room, there was only one wooden bed, and Chen Xiang's mother hugged her knees and huddled at the foot of the bed. As long as he took a step forward, she shrank back, as if she could disappear from his eyes.
If possible, he would rather his mother really took his father's money and fly away, rather than become like this.
The injustice and occasional resentment in my heart before, but the moment I saw her, nothing was left.
"Mom, I'm Chen Xiang, don't you remember me?"
Chen Xiang's mother looked at him vigilantly, muttering in her mouth, not knowing what she was talking about.
"Mom, you come home with me, will I take care of you?" He continued without getting a response from his mother.
But when he mentioned Feng Lin, his mother suddenly shouted out with a face full of fear, "No, don't go back to Chen's house—"
Then came a piercing scream.
Chen Xiang's eardrum hurt by her sharp voice, but at this time, he didn't have the heart to pay attention to this, but took a few steps forward and grabbed his mother's arm, "What's wrong with the Chen family, why can't I go back, Mom? , do you know something?"
"He's a monster, he eats people." Chen Xiang's mother said in a gloomy tone, her eyeballs rolled up, revealing large whites, looking terrifying.
"Who eats people?" Chen Xiang asked her, holding back the discomfort in his heart.
She didn't answer, but muttered suddenly, "Bo Qing was eaten, eaten."
As he was talking, he suddenly burst into tears and kept repeating, "I was eaten, I was eaten..."
Chen Xiang covered his mouth with one hand, and Bo Qing in his mother's mouth was his father.
But didn't my father die unexpectedly
If it hadn't been for the terrifying experience in the Chen family's main house that week, he would have thought that his mother was crazy and was just talking crazy.
But now, he wasn't sure.
But one thing he was sure of, he didn't see his father's body. When he heard the news of his father's passing, his father had been buried and his mother was gone.
Butler Chen, who handled the body for his father, told him that his mother abandoned him, took all his property, and left here.
At one point he thought that was the truth.
But think about it carefully, how much is left of the Chen family over the years
In addition to his peers, the elders passed away one by one, in various unimaginable ways. The Chen family held a low-key funeral for them, and none of the younger generation had ever seen their remains.
He almost forgot that the death of the elders seemed to be after the death of the grandfather and the uncle began to inherit the family business.
He had a second uncle, a third aunt, and his father, all of whom died. As for the uncles and cousins, many of them can't be remembered.
The uncle who once held him on his shoulders and took him out to play seems to have become a very, very scary person.
In the end, Chen Xiang withdrew from the room with his mother's screams.
He calmly closed the mottled wooden door that had peeled off the paint, and a few friends immediately surrounded him, everyone's faces were either veiled or revealed with concern.
"Axiang, is Auntie alright?" Mi Zheng asked hesitantly.
Chen Xiang shook his head, "My mother may not be able to accept the news of my father's death for a while, and was a little stimulated."
"Then... do you want to take my aunt back for treatment?" Mi Zheng asked hesitantly, regardless of whether what Chen Xiang said was true or not, the environment here was not suitable for recuperation.
Moreover, although Chen Xiang's grandma's family came to take care of him from time to time, seeing the state of his aunt, he obviously couldn't do much.
Chen Xiang's proposal was supported by several small partners, who also eagerly expressed that their family knew a well-known psychiatrist and so on.
Chen Xiang looked at the friends in front of him, biting his lip, and his eyes were red.
He wanted to take his mother back, but couldn't. At least for now, no.
Chen Xiang did not make a decision immediately, and his friends did not force him. After all, his current living situation is different from before, and he always has to consider reality.
After watching Chen Xiang's mother, they went back to his grandma's house. It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the group was ready to drive to the town.
Grandma's place is too small to accommodate so many people, and they are really not used to the environment here.
Grandma didn't say anything, but she was reluctant to see Chen Xiang leaving.
They had all walked out of the house, and grandma suddenly remembered something and stopped Chen Xiang.
"Ah Xiang, wait a minute, I have a letter from you here." After speaking, grandma turned around and walked into the house. After a while, she took out a thick envelope with the address of grandma's house on it. , and Chen Xiangshou, three big characters.
Chen Xiang's grandmother was not literate, so she knew this was a letter to her grandson. It took a long time to keep it in the closet.
I couldn't help but asked, "Ah Xiang, is this sent to you by your classmate? Why did you send it here?"
Chen Xiang looked at his name on the envelope, nodded heavily, and said in a hoarse voice, "My classmate sent it to me, she wrote the wrong address."
"Hey, don't do this next time, what a delay."
"It's okay, I won't miss it if I come here often in the future."
Grandma also knew what her grandson was thinking. Thinking about her daughter's current situation, she couldn't help but patted her grandson's shoulder, "Okay, don't worry about your mother's side, I'm taking care of her, so I can't starve her. You study hard and wait. When you make money in the future, I will pick up your mother."
That being said, she is her own daughter after all. A good daughter has not seen each other for more than half a year. When she comes back, she becomes a lunatic. Who can stand it.
But she didn't know who to blame. Her son-in-law was gone, and her grandson didn't even know his mother was crazy.
If I had known today, I wouldn't let her marry a wealthy family, what a sin!
