Silence is a long silence.
Heaviness is so heavy that one can't breathe.
In Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong's understanding, it was because Zhou Bingkun was admitted to Tsinghua University that he had no choice but to tell them that Li Suhua had a cerebral hemorrhage and had been paralyzed in bed for more than two years and called them back from the outside.
"Bingkun, yes, we had some unpleasant troubles last time when we went home for the New Year. Dad said something a bit harsh. You didn't even spend the Spring Festival at home. But mom usually loves you very much. She has always been in good health. How could it happen suddenly? I had a cerebral hemorrhage, and why didn’t you tell us about such a big thing until now?”
Telegrams are not like letters, and can last for several pages. Lin Yue's telegram to them only said that Li Suhua had a cerebral hemorrhage and was in bed, and asked them to go back quickly to discuss going to college. As for how she fell ill, Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong didn't know. They were in love, and the two of them rushed home as soon as they got off the train station. They had no time or energy to ask Guangzi Pian's neighbors.
"Brother, when you say that, do you think I am responsible for my mother's cerebral hemorrhage?"
"I just want to know why mom suddenly became ill."
Zhou Bingyi did not answer this question directly, but this evasive sentence had exposed his inner thoughts.
Also, the last time he went home for the New Year, Zhou Bingkun felt that Hao Dongmei's inability to get pregnant should not be hidden from his parents. He believed that it was a matter between the couple and should be resolved by themselves. For this reason, the two brothers were a little unhappy, and Zhou Zhigang was even more unhappy. Because of Zheng Juan's incident, he was so angry that he wanted to beat someone. Zhou Bingkun ran out that night and did not return home until the third grade of junior high school.
Cerebral hemorrhage is an emergency, most often caused by excitement. In his opinion, it was most likely caused by a quarrel with Zhou Bingkun over Zheng Juan's matter. Otherwise, the third child would not have kept the matter a secret for two years. I just told them the truth today.
Lin Yue turned to look at Zhou Rong and Feng Huacheng. The daughter came back and shed a few tears. After that, she sat on the kang with a cold face and said nothing. Although she didn't speak, any fool could see what was going on in her heart. , if Li Suhua's illness has nothing to do with his brother, how could Zheng Juan, who didn't even have the title of daughter-in-law, serve the old lady without complaint for two years? Moreover, as soon as the four of them arrived home, the younger brother kicked Zheng Juan and Guangming out. See, he was afraid of Two people spilled the beans?
"Why did Mom get sick? This is a good question." Lin Yue glanced at the old-fashioned mechanical clock hanging on the wall: "It's about time."
This point?
What point?
Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingyi looked at the mechanical clock together.
At this time, there was a light jingle in the yard, and then the sound of the door being pushed. Several people looked sideways and saw Cai Xiaoguang walking in from the outside.
Zhou Rong stood up to greet him: "Xiaoguang? Why are you here?"
Feng Huacheng had naturally heard of Cai Xiaoguang, and the two looked at each other, more or less embarrassed.
"It was Bingkun who told me you were back today."
Nodding to Zhou Bingyi and his wife, Cai Xiaoguang looked at Lin Yue.
"You came just in time. My eldest brother asked my mother why she had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage."
Cai Xiaoguang has a headache. He has had a headache ever since he found out that Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong were back, and when Zhou Bingkun asked him to come to light the picture. But let’s face it, shrinking your head is a knife, and stretching your head is also a knife. You can’t hide, you have to face the problem. .
"Auntie got sick because of me."
"What?" Zhou Bingyi looked at Cai Xiaoguang, wondering how this matter had anything to do with him.
Cai Xiaoguang glanced at Zhou Rong and said: "During the Spring Festival of 1976, Feng Huacheng was arrested at the police station because of a fight. Zhou Rong called me to explain the situation and asked me to come to my house when I have time. I will come over on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year. I saw my aunt and Yueyue playing. I asked her if she knew that you and Feng Huacheng could not come back to celebrate the New Year. She said she knew that Bingkun had told her and asked if they had been released. I thought she was talking about Feng Huacheng told me what Zhou Rong told me, and the old lady was so frightened that she fell ill on the spot, and was eventually taken to the hospital with the help of the neighbors."
It turns out that this matter has nothing to do with Zhou Bingkun.
But it doesn’t make sense to say that it is Cai Xiaoguang’s responsibility.
Zhou Bingyi looked at his sister with complicated eyes.
Zhou Rong was completely stunned. When she talked to Zhou Bingyi on the road, she thought that this matter had nothing to do with her. It was probably the third child who had angered her mother because of Zheng Juan's matter, which caused such bad consequences. She did not expect the truth of the matter. It was Feng Huacheng's arrest that caused his mother to become paralyzed in bed.
"This...this...how could this happen?"
Feng Huacheng stuttered when he spoke. He thought that incident only affected Zhou Rong and Yueyue, but he didn't expect that his mother-in-law's illness was also caused by him.
"sorry Sorry sorry……"
"Tch~" Lin Yue sneered at the guy's apology: "Is it useful to be sorry? If you were arrested at the train station, you can still be said to be an unforeseen disaster, and you abandoned your wife and daughter to go north. It only shows that you are a bastard. . It’s good to have ideals, it’s true to have ideals, but if you value your ideals more than your own life, more important than the lives of your wife and children, then why should you get married, have any children, and pursue your ideals alone?”
"Bingkun." Zhou Bingyi glared at him: "Your sister and your brother-in-law are already very uncomfortable, why are you still making sarcastic remarks around them?"
Lin Yue said coldly: "Because I am qualified to say it, why should I not say it?"
Zhou Bingyi was speechless, because this was a fact. Li Suhua fell ill because of Feng Huacheng's incident. Zheng Juan had been serving the elderly at home for more than two years, but as for them, they didn't care about anything. In this situation, Zhou Bingkun complained and said a few words. What happened to the sarcastic remark? Even if she and her husband are scolded as unfilial daughters and white-eyed wolves, they still have to listen and endure it.
Zhou Rong asked again: "Xiaoguang, such a big thing happened at home, why didn't you tell me back then?"
Cai Xiaoguang said: "Bingkun didn't let me tell you. At that time, Feng Huacheng was like that. You were busy using your connections to save him. If you knew that your mother was ill, who would you care about?"
Yes, her thoughts were all on Feng Huacheng at that time. If she knew that Li Suhua was ill, would she leave Feng Huacheng and return to Jichun, or would she ignore her mother and continue to save her husband? I can’t blame Cai Xiaoguang for this matter.
Zhou Bingyi became even more silent because his younger brother had done a remarkable job and could not find anything to criticize.
Lin Yue said: "Now that I have received the admission notice from Tsinghua University, I will go to Beijing to study in one month. I thought that someone must take care of my mother, so I sent you a telegram."
If other people's children were admitted to college, they would definitely be happy and lively.
The Zhou family is different. Who will go to college? Who stays to take care of Li Suhua?
Feng Huacheng remained silent. He also saw that the crux of the problem was coming. Zhou Rong's dream has always been to be admitted to Peking University to further her studies and prove herself. Now Li Suhua has become like this. As a daughter, she directly caused her mother's illness. The culprit is that people should stay at home to take care of the elderly. In this way, taking care of the family and realizing their ideals become a dilemma.
"You guys can discuss it. The room is too stuffy. I'll go out and smoke a cigarette." Cai Xiaoguang excused himself to go out for some fresh air, opened the door and left.
Zhou Rong didn't even have the intention to send him off, because she was not stupid and knew how unfavorable the current situation was to her.
Bingkun had no responsibility for this matter last week, but he took care of his mother at home for two years. Now he has received the admission notice from Tsinghua University. No matter from which point of view, he is the one who should go to school the most.
So who should least go to school?
is her.
In addition to Li Suhua's reasons, there is also Yueyue. Her mother has been in a coma for two years. During this period, Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan were taking care of her. Now it is her mother's turn to take care of her.
"Ha...Kun, sister, can we discuss something with you?"
"Okay, let's talk."
"Look, Zheng Juan has been taking care of our mother for the past two years. Can we let her continue in the future...I can give her money."
Zhou Rong knew very well that the reason why she was admitted to Peking University was because this year's questions were simple. If she misses this opportunity and takes the exam again, she will have to compete with those fresh graduates. She has to take care of her mother while doing housework and continue to study. Even if she can It is difficult to study in a top university like Qingbei University, so if you want to reach the top of your life, this is the only chance.
"Our mother has been in a coma for more than two years. Zheng Juan has taken care of her for more than two years. I went to Beijing to study and left her here alone? If something unexpected happens in the meantime, wouldn't I have to be blamed by you again? What's more, I have decided to I took her to Beijing with me."
Feng Huacheng said: "Then...then we can pay for a nanny."
"Haha, please hire a nanny? The doctor said that if mom's condition is not taken care of well, she may die in a coma. The three children only focus on their studies and don't care about mom who is paralyzed in bed. You let the neighbors know what they think. ?”
Feng Huacheng hesitated and couldn't say a word.
