After arriving at the hospital with Xiao Wei, we went straight to the inpatient department.
Xiao Wei didn't say a word until she reached the door of the ward. When she reached the door of the ward, Xiao Wei stopped and then looked back at me with a very complicated look.
I knew what she was thinking, so I smiled softly at her and said, "It's okay, let's go in."
Xiao Wei hesitated for a while and said to me: "If my mother says anything, you must not take it seriously. She talks more and more now that she is old."
"I know, go in."
Xiao Wei nodded and opened the ward door. After she walked in first, I followed her.
There are three beds in the ward. Xiao Wei's mother lives in the innermost bed by the window, and the other two beds are empty.
As soon as I entered the ward, I saw Xiao Wei's mother. Even though I hadn't seen her for more than a year, it felt like more than ten years had passed.
In the past, Xiao Wei's mother loved beauty, always chasing fashion, and even used some cosmetics from young people to take care of herself.
She is only two years younger than my mother, but she looks like she is twenty years younger. But now I can really see that she is older, her hair has turned white, and she has more wrinkles on her face.
"Mom, do you feel better after the infusion this morning?" Xiao Wei walked to the hospital bed and asked kindly.
Xiao Wei's mother had a look of pain on her face, and she said in a weak voice: "Weiwei, I'm afraid my mother will only have a few days to live with this disease, so we'd better not give it any treatment. She's going through chemotherapy today."
Thousand, where did we get so much money!"
"Mom, you don't have to worry about money, I will find a way." Xiao Wei also looked like she was about to cry.
Looking at the picture in front of me, I have mixed feelings.
If this had happened before, I wouldn't have dared to imagine that Xiao Wei's mother would actually start to care about money, and Xiao Wei would start to feel sorry for people.
Time is such a good thing, it really changes everything.
I finally walked to the hospital bed, and Xiao Wei's mother didn't seem to recognize me at first sight.
Yes, I have lost about 20 pounds over the past year, and my entire body is thinner than before.
Xiao Wei then spoke to her mother: "Mom, I met Chen Feng on the way here. He heard about you, so he came to the hospital with me."
"Chen Chenfeng!?" Xiao Wei's mother said in surprise, and then she seemed to be about to sit up.
Xiao Wei hurriedly reached out to help me. I raised my hand and said, "Just lie down and don't be so excited."
"Mom, just lie down and I'll help you shake up the bed." Xiao Wei also echoed and then shook up the bed.
Xiao Wei's mother stared at me closely, and tears began to flash in her eyes.
I don’t know if it’s because we haven’t seen each other for so long, but I don’t know what to say.
Until Xiao Wei's mother spoke first: "Xiao Feng, is it really you?"
"It's me."
As soon as I finished speaking, tears burst out of Xiao Wei's mother's eyes.
Xiao Wei quickly pulled out a tissue to wipe her mother's tears. I was even more embarrassed. I didn't know why she was crying.
Did you not see me for so long that you were so excited that you cried? Or do you feel you owe me?
Maybe it's all, maybe it's not, and now I don't care that much.
"Xiao Feng, how are you doing lately?" Xiao Wei's mother turned to me and asked me very kindly.
This tone made me feel dazed for a moment. Ever since I met Xiao Wei's mother, she has always been known for being strict and she has never had a good attitude towards me.
But now, I feel really surprised.
So I smiled and replied: "It's okay."
"I think you seem to be thinner than before! My child, you have to eat more. You are still young, especially breakfast, otherwise you will end up like me in the future." As she said this, Xiao Wei's mother sighed heavily again.
Xiao Wei immediately consoled her: "Mom, don't think so, the doctor said it is benign and can be cured."
"I know whether it can be cured or not."
As she said that, she sighed again, then looked at me and asked: "Xiaofeng, you should have remarried now, right?"
I paused, intending to tell the truth, but after hesitating for a while, I nodded and replied, "Well, I'm married."
Xiao Wei's mother let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had let go of something. Then she smiled slightly and said, "That's good, that's good. Where is the woman from?"
"I'm from Chengdu. I work in Chengdu now."
"Oh, okay, okay" Xiao Wei's mother nodded repeatedly and then fell silent.
"Mom, let me feed you the food. It will be cold soon." Xiao Wei said, and was about to open the thermos box she had just brought.
But Xiao Wei's mother waved her hand and said weakly: "Don't eat it. I won't eat it now. Don't open it."
After saying that, she said to me with a full face of apology: "Xiaofeng, I know you hate us, but you are a good child. Now that I am like this, you still come to see me, I feel really guilty."
I'm silent
She continued: "Xiao Feng, our family has treated you badly. When you and Weiwei were together, we always felt that everything you did was what you should do as your mother-in-law. I really failed! I was also very disappointed.
I feel ashamed that we care so little about you. We always ask for things from you, but we never thought about how difficult it was for you at that time."
"If we could give you a little bit of a sense of home, maybe you wouldn't end up like this."
After saying that, Xiao Wei's mother sighed forcefully, as if she had said all the words she had suppressed in her heart for a long time.
And after listening to these words, I felt very uncomfortable.
I've been waiting for these words for too long. I really didn't expect that one day, Xiao Wei's mother would express so much guilt to me.
I glanced at Xiao Wei. She lowered her head and tears fell on the back of her hands one by one. She seemed to be repenting too.
My nose is also a little sore, that's because I've been waiting for these words for too long.
Finally, I said, "Mom, don't say that. In fact, I also have my shortcomings. When I was with Weiwei, I actually cared very little about her. At that time, I was focused on work and didn't care about my family.
I rarely care about things, so I am not a good husband."
Xiao Wei's mother suddenly became excited and choked with sobs: "Xiao Feng, what did you call me just now?"
I paused for a moment and then realized that I had just called Mom unintentionally.
I was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied: "Mom, although Xiao Wei and I are divorced, you are always my mother."
Xiao Wei's mother burst into tears all of a sudden, Xiao Wei also cried, and I couldn't help it anymore, so I turned my head and wiped away the tears with the back of my hand.
I have really waited for this moment for too long, but it came too late.
If we were all doing well at that time, Xiao Wei was doing well, and I was doing well, maybe it wouldn't have been possible.
But no one can say for sure about fate. Maybe Xiao Wei and I are destined to be inseparable, and she will be my disaster.?
