Chapter 1
Chapter 1 Too Late
Scorching sun.
Zhou Tong sat on the side of the road, disheartened.
Holding a family photo in hand.
Looking at the woman’s peach-like smile in the photo, he couldn’t help but reach out and touch it.
But felt extremely heartache.
This woman is his wife, Liu Ruyan.
It’s been ten years.
Liu Ruyan has left him for ten years and has not heard from him so far.
He searched for her news for ten years.
Over the years, he has lived with his daughter, who has two pigtails in the photo.
Jingle Bell! Jingle Bell!
Zhou Tong took out his mobile phone and quickly pressed the answer button.
“Is it Zhou Tong?”
“I’m my daughter, your daughter’s nurse, your daughter… Your daughter has taken a lot of sleeping pills and is now in the emergency room. Come to the hospital!”
Zhou Tong’s head buzzed, as if the whole world had collapsed!
Like crazy, he got up and ran frantically towards the hospital.
Nuonuo… Nuonuo, you must not have an accident!
He lost his wife ten years ago.
Ten years later, he can’t lose his daughter!
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Tong was soaked in sweat and rushed into the hospital.
Zhou Yinuo has been sent back to the ward.
Zhou Tong suddenly pushed open the door of the ward and knelt beside his daughter’s bed.
Zhou Yinuo was pale, lying on the bed weakly, when he saw Zhou Tong, his face was full of mixed flavors.
“Dad… So you still remember that you have a daughter.”
“I was thinking just now, do you want to stop calling your dad in the future?”
Zhou Tong listened to his daughter’s words, held her hand, and his body kept shaking.
“Dad was wrong… Dad won’t leave you again!”
Zhou Yinuo’s face was cold, looking at Zhou Tong, as if he had lost all hope.
“I miss my mother, I have to find my mother.”
“You’ve never seen me, I think, after I leave, you should be less burdened, very happy.”
“If there is another life, I don’t want to be your daughter anymore.”
Listening to his daughter’s words, Zhou Tong felt guilty, his eyes were red, and he couldn’t cry.
Over the years, I really did not take my daughter and wife to heart.
Before, for my daughter, I would visit it at most once a year!
And he spends most of his time gambling and having fun.
Everything in the family was hollowed out by him, so their mother and daughter had a particularly difficult life.
At that time, his wife had left him.
At this time, I must never let my daughter leave me again!
“Nuo Nuo, Nuo Nuo, wait. Dad will go get the money and give you the money to see a doctor.”
“When you are healed, Dad will take you to find Mom!”
Zhou Yinuo smiled even more, and two dimples appeared on his pale face.
“No, my mother has come to pick me up, and I miss my mother too.”
As she spoke, she reached out and touched the air.
“Mom is here, I’m leaving with my mother.”
Her breathing became weaker and weaker.
“Mr. Zhou, the hospital bill is still 20,000 yuan short.” The nurse walked into the ward and said.
“You help me take good care of my daughter, I’ll go right away, I’ll go get the money right away!”
Zhou Tong ran frantically and rushed out of the hospital.
“Nuo Nuo, you must hold on, you must!”
“Dad can’t lose you!”
He dashed into the road suddenly.
Squeak! ! !
There was a long brake sound. Zhou Tong was knocked several meters away.
Lying in a pool of blood, his consciousness gradually blurred.
It is said that before death, people remember their own life.
Scenes from the past also appeared before his eyes.
He thought about the scene in front of him, and felt extremely regretful in his heart.
Because what appeared in front of his eyes were all his indifferent pictures.
He doesn’t have a job, and he goes out drinking and clubbing with the village gangsters every day.
He had no money, and the first thing he did when he went back was to ask Liu Ruyan for money.
No money? He would turn the house upside down.
Regardless of Liu Ruyan’s stop and her daughter’s crying, until the money is received!
As a result, both mother and daughter are malnourished and skinny
Liu Ruyan could only make a few cents by sewing and mending clothes to buy some food for her daughter.
In hot weather, he does some chores in the village factory.
But that didn’t sustain them for long and ended up borrowing money.
Borrowed at high interest rates.
In just a few days, those people forced Liu Ruyan to pay back the money.
Where did she have so much money, she could only send Zhou Yinuo to her parents, and then she disappeared.
This disappearance is ten years, and there is no news.
And his daughter, he didn’t care about it, and still lived a dashing life by himself.
After all the money was wasted, I even thought about eating old.
But his parents saw through him at all and would not give him a penny.
This also makes Zhou Tong more indulgent, and his daughter sees each other from one month to several months.
Even he and Ben were too lazy to meet, and called once every few months.
The last call was a few months ago, before my daughter was hospitalized.
When he took his daughter to the hospital, he looked for money at home and found Liu Ruyan’s suicide note.
Ten years later, his home is still the same as it was ten years ago, except that the letter paper is a little yellowed.
Only then did he know that in the past ten years, Liu Ruyan has endured so much in silence.
He regrets!
“How can I become like this, how can I let such a good family fall apart.”
Zhou Tong could no longer hear his own voice.
But he was still trying to speak.
“If there is an afterlife, I will definitely double up to make up for you…”
“If there is an afterlife, I will never let you suffer a little bit of grievance.”
He loves his daughter, and he has never felt love in the past ten years.
He felt sorry for his wife and endured so much pain in silence.
I heard that before others die, they will see the person they miss laughing.
But what Zhou Tong saw was Liu Ruyan’s tears and her daughter’s cry.
It is the picture of the mother and daughter eating wowotou and drinking gruel in the dilapidated brick building.
It was a picture where her daughter could only hide in Liu Ruyan’s arms amid the thunder.
This scene made him extremely regretful.
If there is another chance to start over again, he will never let the family’s life become so bad!
He wants to make up for it!
Make up for everything you can do to your wife and daughter.
I dare not expect to forgive them and forgive myself.
Just want to see their lives better.
It’s a pity…you can only wait for the next life.
Zhou Tong gradually and completely closed his eyes.
“Is this what it feels like to die, and there is still some comfort…”
“It’s okay to die, just take it as an atonement for your wife and daughter…”
Zhou Tong thought silently in his heart, but why is his consciousness still there? !
“what ‘s wrong?”
Zhou Tong was puzzled, opened his eyes subconsciously, and found himself lying on the ground, his eyes fell on the beam, as if something familiar.
