Chapter 515 Hello, Lian Fenghe (Part )
Lian Fenghe took a long time to prepare herself mentally before accepting the fact that she had been forgotten by her mother.
The doctor said that it was very difficult for Qu Meixiang to wake up and recover after being in a coma for such a long time.
Lian Fenghe also told herself that she should be content, thinking that being alive is a good thing.
However, when he saw his mother looking at him as if she were a stranger, he could no longer control his emotions and burst into tears.
Qu Meixiang just looked blankly at this "son" she met for the first time, not knowing what to do.
Lian Fenghe went home and found a lot of things, hoping to evoke Qu Meixiang's memory, but in the end she just stared at those once happy photos in a daze.
He was indeed very happy with his mother and father before, but what about now?
My father has passed away and the family business is almost gone.
Knowing the happiness she had in the past, isn’t it cruel for Qu Meixiang to face the pain of today?
Since she knows nothing, she doesn't have to bear any pain from the past and can seek new happiness in the present.
Lian Fenghe tried to tell Zhang Lanlan about this plan. After spending some time together, he already regarded Zhang Lanlan's family as his own sisters and brothers.
Zhang Lanlan protested strongly: "If Aunt Qu still remembers, she will never agree with you doing this!"
As she spoke, tears began to fall: "Aunt Qu always praised you, saying that you were a good child, and that even though her husband was gone, she would work hard for the child."
"At that time, I really envied you, envied you for having a mother who loved you."
"If she forgets even the child she once loved and wanted to protect, isn't it painful for her?"
It was like a wake-up call. Lian Fenghe gave up hiding the truth and, with the company of Zhang Lanlan and others, actively helped Qu Meixiang reshape her memory.
Although Zhang Lanlan's family has no blood relationship with him, it is not bad for Lian Fenghe to live a peaceful life like this.
He enrolled in a local university, and Zhang Lanlan was responsible for taking care of Qu Meixiang. In his spare time, under the guidance of Lian Fenghe, he tried to grow flowers himself and set up a stall in the market to earn some money.
Zhang Qingqing went to high school and has been working hard to get scholarships and go to college. Zhang Huahua graduated from junior high school and went to a technical school to study cosmetology and hairdressing, hoping to have her own shop as soon as possible.
Zhang Hao is also very sensible. When Qu Meixiang was working hard to fill in her memory, he would always accompany her. He would also go to the market with Zhang Lanlan to set up a stall and was very efficient in collecting money and giving change.
Sometimes Lian Fenghe thought that living like this would be stable.
However, when he graduated from university and returned to the base, preparing to pick up his family's former business again, Zhang Yong was released from prison.
Zhang Lanlan told Lian Fenghe about this matter immediately, and he also found security guards to kick Zhang Yong out.
However, the base is so large that it is impossible to completely block it.
Zhang Yong still sneaked in. He wanted to steal Zhang Lanlan's money, but was discovered by Qu Meixiang.
The two people had an argument, and this time, Zhang Yong touched the fruit knife on the table.
Qu Meixiang was not hurt, but the person who was stabbed was Zhang Hao.
The boy, who was still in junior high school, blocked Zhang Yong's knife for Qu Meixiang and was still smiling as he fell into Qu Meixiang's arms.
"Aunt Qu, I can protect you this time..."
"Am I going to die? Can I... call you mom..."
Zhang Yong dropped the knife and ran away. Lian Fenghe and Zhang Lanlan didn't have time to catch him, so they sent Zhang Hao to the hospital first before they had time to report the case.
Zhang Hao died. He was stabbed in the lungs and large blood vessels and died from excessive blood loss.
When Zhang Lanlan received the death notice, she felt like she had lost her soul.
She murmured "why", Lian Fenghe was comforting the crying Qu Meixiang, and did not notice that Zhang Lanlan walked out of the hospital.
Zhang Qingqing and Zhang Huahua rushed back and sadly arranged Zhang Hao's funeral. There has been no news about Zhang Lanlan since then and no one knew where she had gone.
Qu Meixiang was traumatized by Zhang Hao's death. Her mental state had been unstable over the years and she began to show symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.
In order to take care of her mother, Lian Fenghe had to stop her work at the base again. Zhang Qingqing and Zhang Huahua also took a long vacation to come back and help.
The news about Zhang Lanlan was brought by the police, along with the news of Zhang Yong’s death.
She used to be ordered around by Zhang Yong to do work, and she knew that when he lost money he would hide from his creditors somewhere in the mountains.
She guessed he was hiding there, so she went there and stoned him to death while he was sleeping.
When Zhang Qingqing went to visit her in prison, Zhang Lanlan looked very calm.
"I should have done this a long time ago. That man should have died a long time ago. If it weren't for him, Haohao wouldn't have died, and Aunt Qu wouldn't have become like this."
"Please tell Brother Xiao He that you are sorry. If it weren't for me, he could be living a happier life now."
After hearing what Zhang Qingqing relayed, Lian Fenghe was speechless.
What could he say? During these years of living together, Zhang Lanlan was like his sister.
But now, the family he had finally regained was shattered to pieces again.
He was in a daze for a while and didn't notice that there was something wrong with his mental state.
The search history on his phone was shocking, and he only wondered if death could bring him peace of mind.
Until that day when he was squatting on the river bank near the base, wondering if the water temperature would be too cold, he heard a voice.
"Old classmate? Long time no see."
Lian Fenghe turned around and saw someone who looked familiar.
He struggled to turn his rusty brain and hesitantly read out a name: "Yu...Xin?"
"Ah, it's me," the woman had neatly cut short hair and was wearing a professional suit, "but my name is Yu Jinzhao now."
"The 'Jin Chao' in 'To count the heroes of the time, look at Jin Chao'. This is the name I gave myself. How about it? Not bad, isn't it?"
The two sat by the river and chatted for a while. Lian Fenghe learned that after Yu Jinchao graduated from high school, he applied for a university far away from Yu's home.
During college, he lived frugally, worked part-time to earn money, and applied for a government-sponsored study abroad program.
"I have severed ties with my family and now I am living well on my own." Yu Jinzhao was smiling as he spoke, "What about you?"
This question made Lian Fenghe stunned for a long time. He stammered, "I... I don't know."
"Is that so?" Yu Jinchao's expression did not change at all. "But it doesn't matter. Both you and I have plenty of time. We can spend our lives slowly."
Lian Fenghe asked: "What's the point of living?"
Yu Jinzhao thought for a moment: "For example, I have met you now."
"My university teacher was very optimistic about Zhang Qingqing. When he learned that I was coming here, he asked me to see how she was doing."
"It turns out that the person in charge here is actually my high school classmate, so I just stopped by to see you."
She looked out over the river and said abruptly, "When I was in high school, I often wanted to die."
Lian Fenghe looked at her in astonishment.
"Life at home was very depressing. I was just an unwanted daughter."
“Life at school was miserable. I didn’t fit in with the overall environment of Mingde.”
"I sought the concern of my family, tried to get along with those people in a friendly way, compromised and kept a low profile."
"Until one day, I suddenly realized, why should I beg for love from someone who doesn't love me?"
“The person I should really love is myself.”
"Then I came out of it, and no matter what those people did, they couldn't shake me. I just had to focus on making myself happy."
She laughed, "That's quite bizarre. I don't know how I came to my senses."
“It was like someone had tried the wrong code over and over again, accumulated countless failures, and finally fed the correct instructions into my brain.”
It was precisely because of that experience that Yu Jinchao could see that Lian Fenghe at this moment, like she was in the past, was immersed in despair that she herself could not detect.
Lian Fenghe's eyes had a faint light in them: "Do you still want to die now?"
"Of course not, I have a lot of things I want to do. What about you? Is there anyone you can't let go of? Is there anything else you want to do?" Yu Jinchao asked.
Lian Fenghe was silent for a long time, and finally said: "It seems so."
"Then go ahead," Yu Jinzhao said with a smile, "Don't leave any regrets for yourself."
In the women's prison, when Zhang Lanlan received the visiting notice, she thought it was Zhang Qingqing or Zhang Huahua who came.
It was not until she walked into the visiting room and saw Lian Fenghe that her eyes widened.
Lian Fenghe picked up the phone and said slowly: "Mom said she wants to see you."
Although Qu Meixiang's memory is confused, she still remembers that she has a very sensible "daughter" named Lanlan.
"When you come out, I'll take you to see her."
Zhang Lanlan burst into tears.
Although they have experienced a lot, both he and Zhang Lanlan are still young.
You can start over again, you definitely can.
Just like he once waited for his mother to wake up, miracles are rare, but there is no shortage of miracles in the world.
He will wait for the next flower called miracle to bloom.
Hello, Lian Fenghe.
Your story will continue.
