Lao Zhou, a former old colleague, was diagnosed with stomach cancer last summer, and his son worked in the city. The daughter also went to the city with her, and the brother was too busy with work, so she had to take care of her father.
After going through the procedures for his father's hospitalization, Lao Zhou's son Xiao Zhou came back again, wanting to pack some things that his father needed, and by the way, he took a look at his stepmother and informed his stepmother of his father's hospitalization. At the same time, I wanted to take my stepmother over to see my father, after all, the two had lived together for 28 years, and they had a deep relationship with each other.
But after he came back, he couldn't find his stepmother everywhere, and he couldn't get through to **. Lao Zhou has been living in the bungalow area of the family courtyard on the mine, with a single courtyard. He is quiet, withdrawn, does not have much contact with neighbors, and his wife does not like to socialize with people. Xiao Zhou asked a few neighbors who couldn't tell him about his stepmother, and he was a little suspicious.
When he came back, his father once said that he had 10,000 yuan in cash in the drawer of his desk, which he always had for urgent use, and said that he should take it to the hospital and hand it over to his sister to meet the temporary expenses. Xiao Zhou opened the drawer lock, there was no cash in it, and the salary was stuck inside.
Xiao Zhou didn't think much about it, and took his salary card to a nearby ATM to withdraw some cash, but he didn't expect that there were only more than 70 yuan left in the card. Xiao Zhou felt bad, and his stepmother may have left ruthlessly.
Less than a year after his mother's death, his father found his wife. The father is usually indifferent to his children, Xiao Zhou is far away from home in the city, he doesn't come back much, he doesn't communicate much with his father, and the situation at home has not been very clear. This time, when his father was sick, he still listened to what his sister said, and hurried back to visit, and his father was already very ill. Could it be that the father has a problem with his stepmother?
He called his sister with questions, asked his father what his relationship with his stepmother was, and asked him how much he had saved.
The younger sister said that she was worried about her father's health and visited the elderly twice a month, but rarely ate at home. Her father didn't talk much, he didn't communicate with her much, he was afraid that his stepmother would be too careful, and she never asked her father about his salary and income, and she didn't know how much he had saved his father.
As for the relationship between her father and stepmother, she thinks it's okay, I haven't heard of any conflicts between them, judging from the father's repeated nagging of her stepmother in the past few days, their relationship should be okay, after all, they have lived together for more than 20 years, and there should still be family affection!
My sister said that she tried to call ** to see, but she couldn't get through after dialing a few times. Their brother and sister are not familiar with their stepmother's relatives and have no contact, and their stepmother is not clear, so they don't know how to find her.
They feel that this is very abnormal, her father has just been hospitalized, and she has lost contact, is there a problem here? My sister remembered that there was once an acquaintance, and the old man was seriously ill, and then the wife took the money and ran away, and the children almost sued the old lady. It is said that there have been quite a lot of such things in recent years, unlike the couples who were united in the early years and later years, who did not leave the sick party and run away halfway.
Just when their brother and sister were struggling with how to tell their father about it, their father asked again, when will their stepmother come over. It seems that he still hopes that his wife will come over to accompany him, and he may feel that it is inconvenient for his daughter to accompany him in bed.
The daughter saw that her father was in a hurry, so she had to tell the truth, saying that her brother didn't see her stepmother when she went back. She asked her father, where would the stepmother go, do you know it?
When she asked, her father was silent. After a long time, he said that she should be gone! Only then did the father tell his daughter that he should have more than 200,000 yuan on his salary card. For more than 20 years, the old couple has a simple life and does not spend much. He originally thought that he was seven or eight years older than his wife, and his health was not very good. Once there is a day when she walks in front, those savings are left to her wife, so that she has a sense of security in her old age. I didn't expect her to wait so long, she started in advance, and she didn't get her sincerity for more than 20 years!
Seeing that her father was in a bad mood, her daughter didn't dare to say anything, in fact, she had some opinions about her father in her heart.
When her mother died, she was only eighteen years old. Her mother worked in a printing factory before her death, and after her mother died, the unit took care of her and arranged for her to enter the printing factory. At that time, my father had not yet retired and was working in the mines. After my stepmother came, my father moved to the family home in the mine. My brother works in the city, and she is a ten-year-old girl, who doesn't dare to live at home alone, so she lives in the unit dormitory.
After that, the father rarely came back to visit the daughter, and the daughter missed her father, and rode a bicycle for more than ten miles to see him in the mine, because she never got along with her stepmother, and they were very unfamiliar with each other, so she rarely stayed at her father's house.
After her daughter got married, her father rarely came to the city to visit her, and she always ran to see her father. The printing factory was not profitable, and at the end of the nineties, when it was restructured and sold to a private person, she was laid off. She didn't have any special skills and her health was not very good, so she never worked anymore and stayed at home to take care of her children.
A family of three lives on the salary of one husband, and life is tight. A few years ago, she had an appendicitis operation, and her father just went to the hospital to see it, but he didn't say anything about giving her a little financial subsidy, and she was sad about her father's indifference for a while. Thinking that if her mother was alive, she would definitely give her some help.
Now, my father is sick, and I have no problem taking care of her wholeheartedly. It's just that I feel that my stepmother is so ruthless and a little incomprehensible. Twenty-eight years is longer than the time that the biological mother spent with her father. On the surface, the two of them get along okay, otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to stay for so many years. When her father needed her company the most, she walked away and took away all her savings, isn't this heart a little ruthless!
Lao Zhou was hospitalized, in addition to the medical insurance reimbursement part, he also needed some expenses. His money was swept away, and he couldn't ask for it while lying on the hospital bed, his son had to go to work, and his daughter had to accompany the bed, and no one had time to find the old lady. The daughter can't get the money that needs to be spent, so she can only spend it with her son. Now, the daughter-in-law is not satisfied, her daughters are in college, and she has not spent a penny on her grandfather. Now, putting all this pressure on my son is hard to accept.
The daughter-in-law was not satisfied, and she just nagged with the man and sister-in-law behind her back. It should be spent, or try to be satisfied, in the face of such a sick old man, what can be done!
The family members of the patients in the same ward came up with the idea that they should sue the old lady to get the money back. Xiao Zhou said that his father's illness is serious at the moment, and he has no time to think about anything else, so maybe the old lady just went to visit relatives and come back in a few days.
Lao Zhou was hospitalized for more than three months, but he still left. The doctor said that Lao Zhou's condition had been delayed, and the fact that the old lady ran away hit him too hard, which directly affected his ** effect.
After dealing with his father's funeral, Xiao Zhou discussed with his sister what to do about the old lady. My sister said, you are too busy to take care of it, and I am not in good health, and I am not good at arguing. It's really troublesome, so forget it! It should be spent on his father's treatment.
And that's it. Familiar people are talking about how realistic people are today, no matter what, after living together for more than 20 years, even a piece of ice can be covered and melted.
A neighbor also mentioned an old story, saying that one summer when the old lady had just come a few years ago, she went to a supply and marketing cooperative outside the mining area to buy mosquito nets, and came back to say that she had been deceived. said that someone tapped her on the shoulder and asked her about something, and she suddenly became confused. Under the guidance of others, he took the old man's passbook and went to the bank to withdraw more than 20,000 yuan for others to take. After I came to my senses, I realized that I had encountered **.
At this moment, when people talk about this matter, they all say that the old lady was not at ease at that time, and the money will definitely not be cheated away.
Lao Zhou is usually silent, but when it comes to things, he is quite tolerant. More than 20 years ago, 20,000 yuan, that is quite a large amount, Lao Zhou did not complain, and he has been comforting his wife. It may be that Lao Zhou's benevolence and kindness moved the old lady and let her continue to stay.
But now, when Lao Zhou was sick and needed her, she was so ruthless, not only did she not take care of her, but also swept away all her savings. Fortunately, Lao Zhou's children are not bad, and he is attentive to the bedside. used to say, "A full house of children is not as good as a halfway couple", but now it seems that the old saying is not reliable.
