Chapter 1106: The suffering in life is far more outrageous than in movies and TV dramas
"Brother Leon is also a miserable man, Boss. What I said yesterday didn't affect you, did it?" Miss Mina sighed, but then she looked at Heath nervously and asked a question. Heath shook his head after hearing it. In fact, nothing was said yesterday, but Heath felt a headache just to deal with Miss Mina who was dancing alone. Heath had seen many drunk guests, but this was the first time he had seen someone like Miss Mina. After all, other people would either sleep or make trouble when they were drunk. Heath had even seen people singing and dancing with Pokémon, but he had never seen anyone dancing alone.
"Actually, Brother Leon..." Miss Mina felt a little relieved, but because she was afraid that she had said something that could be easily misunderstood after getting drunk yesterday, Mina still planned to talk to Heath again and explain it to avoid causing any unnecessary misunderstandings. Leon has had a hard time already, and Miss Mina doesn't want others to have any misunderstandings about him.
…
"Mom, I checked, and the doctor said that this disease should be treated by soaking your feet in hot water more often. What do you think of the water temperature?" At this time, Leon was pouring water into a bucket, and then he looked at his mother and asked.
"Useless son, really useless. You don't have to work so hard. Go to work. Mom can take care of yourself." On the wooden bed, an old woman with white hair slowly put her feet into the bucket, revealing a forced smile.
The wooden bed had some strange smell, and it smelled a bit smelly, just like the smell in the toilet. Leon glanced at the wooden board at the head of the bed, and could see some dirty marks on it. He sighed in his heart. Although he had said it so many times, his mother's habit just couldn't be changed, and he had no other choice. It seemed that he had to buy a smart toilet as soon as possible after this salary was paid. I heard that the smart toilet could use water instead of toilet paper, and it was cleaner and more suitable for his mother.
When did it start? Leon forgot. He looked at the bucket and his mother's legs soaking in it, feeling a little lost and painful.
It was about a year ago. Leon remembered that his mother fell down when she got up in the morning to make her strange breakfast. Then her painful life began. At first, his mother just couldn't go to the toilet, and then it developed into unknown vomiting. She went to the hospital countless times and spent a lot of money. Now she has unknown soreness and unbearable calf muscles. This intolerance tortured his mother, turning the originally gentle mother into a lunatic in the eyes of others.
Moreover, this disease cannot be diagnosed clearly, and there is no clear and effective treatment. The only way to relieve the pain is to take painkillers. However, taking too many painkillers will cause gastrointestinal problems, so you have to stop taking them, which forms a vicious cycle.
The torture of the disease caused his mother to start swearing loudly, venting the pain in her heart caused by the illness. People upstairs and downstairs could hear it, and he could hear it too. Sometimes the swearing would not stop all night. The neighbors around were discussing whether the old woman in the family was crazy, and some even contacted a mental hospital. This made Leon feel painful and silent.
In the past, home was a warm harbor, and returning home was like returning to his own shelter. However, since his mother fell ill , this home has been ruined. When he returned home, he could hear his mother cursing every moment. There was even one night when he couldn't sleep, and he heard his mother get up to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He wanted to help, but standing in the dim living room, he heard his mother in the bathroom with the door closed, scolding him for being an ungrateful person, saying that he had raised her for so many years but it was of no use to him, and that he couldn't even help her cure her illness, and that he was a waste.
Leon listened silently. He didn't speak or turn on the light. Instead, he returned to his bed silently and lay down under the quilt. In that hot summer, he wished he could add another blanket to himself. The quilt couldn't warm his cold heart. That night, Leon, who had taken care of his mother for a whole year without crying and had to borrow money from friends and relatives in a humble manner, cried in his bed for the first time. But the next day, he still pretended nothing had happened. He got up silently, went to work silently, and took care of his mother silently.
Leon silently used a towel to wipe his mother's legs, and at the same time took out the safflower oil he had bought before to wipe his mother's legs. After doing all this, he took the water out and poured it out, then took his briefcase and went out to work.
The company where he works is not far from his home, only five kilometers away, and he can get there quickly by bike. He doesn't want to be late, as this will result in a deduction of his attendance bonus. He has already planned how to spend his monthly salary, and one point less will force him to give up something, not to mention that the attendance bonus is as high as one thousand yuan. Without this one thousand yuan, he doesn't know how to survive.
The early morning sun shone through the car window onto his face, and numbness was carved all over his cheeks. Leon didn't know why his life was so unfortunate. He didn't even know if he could get married or buy a house of his own. He once thought about confessing his love to the woman he loved, but every time he thought of his family background and his sick mother at home, he suppressed the emotion in his heart and chose silence.
"It would be better if mother died." This thought had crossed his mind more than once. He could accept the storms in this world, but he could not accept that the person he took care of so hard was belittling him behind his back. When he thought about how many times his mother had scolded him when he was at work, his heart was filled with pain and despair. Perhaps the only thing that could keep him alive was the words he used to comfort himself, 'Mom was just in too much pain, so she said what she wanted to say.'
But the untreatable disease was hovering over their home like a ghost. Leon hoped very much that there was a cure for everything in this world. If there was, he would go buy it even if he had to lose everything and work for decades for nothing, in exchange for his mother's health and the home they once had .
"Life." Leon let out a long sigh. On the bus, he saw the dining car he had seen yesterday. It gave people a very warm feeling under the sun. He hesitated for a moment, and then decided to go to the dining car during the lunch break.
