life with stone

Chapter 1 Betting on a Hope of Survival

One knife is poor, one knife is rich.

A knife pierces the linen.

This is an old saying in Ruili, about emerald betting on stones.

When gambling is involved in anything, it becomes a tragedy.

All over the country, countless people lost their homes and property because of this gambling word, and their families were ruined.

My dad was a gambler, and I've known him betting on stones for as long as I can remember.

In my memory, he never won. First he lost all his savings, then he lost the house, and later, he even lost his wife.

My mother gave birth to my younger sister when I was ten years old, because she really couldn't bear the torture of my father, a gambler, she secretly left me and my younger sister, and ran away alone.

I understand my mother very well, and I never hated her. No woman is willing to spend her whole life as a gambler like my father.

If I could run, I would.

After my mother left, my father was like crazy, venting all his resentment and anger on me.

Every time he came back after losing money, he would beat me up severely. Under the dark shadow of childhood, I never thought of running away.

Because I ran away, my sister became a lamb in my place.

My sister and I depend on each other for life. I think that when I grow up, have a job, and have financial income, I can take my sister and leave my dad.

So I studied desperately and struggled desperately, and finally I was admitted to a medical university. In order to get a job opportunity as soon as possible, I gave up the postgraduate entrance examination and went directly to the hospital for internship.

In order to become a full-time employee and get paid as soon as possible, I worked overtime day and night, and followed the directors of the major departments like a dog to please them.

Finally, after a year of internship, I became a regular, which means that I can finally make money and lead my sister to lead a normal life.

I thought that day was the happiest day in my life, but fate played a trick on me.

That day became the darkest day of my life.

When I got the notice of becoming a regular, the hospital came to the emergency department, saying that two people jumped off the building. It was a gambler who couldn’t survive because of his red eyes, so he took his daughter and jumped off the building. The man died on the spot. The girl was lucky enough to survive.

When I heard this sentence, my whole body was struck by lightning.

I rushed straight into the operating room, and when I saw that the girl lying on the hospital bed was my sister, my whole life was overwhelmed.

I never hated my father, he gambled, it is human nature, no one can bear the temptation of getting rich with a knife.

However, when I saw my sister lying dying in the operating room, I really hated my damn father.

I want him to go to hell and spend eternity to pay for his sins.

I knelt in front of the doctors and begged them to save my sister.

Fortunately, my sister was rescued, but she became a vegetative state. She may lie in a hospital bed for the rest of her life and need special care.

The post-treatment costs are astronomical, and I can’t afford the cost of emergency treatment. Even though I am an employee of the hospital, the leaders of the hospital ruthlessly told me that if they can’t afford the cost of treatment, they will stop the treatment. I had to take my sister back for self-help.

I can't help it, I'm a doctor, I know the difficulties of the hospital, the hospital is not a charity, the hospital needs to make a profit, but I really have no money.

I borrowed everything I could, and I was only short of usury, but I was still short of 10 yuan.

I was really desperate, and I really couldn't get a penny out, so I was forced to think of the last person.

my mom……

I stood at the gate of Huayang Pharmaceutical Enterprise and kept looking into the grass. When I was an intern in the hospital, I read news about pharmaceutical newspapers. In the news, I saw my mother. The boss of Yang Pharmaceutical Company got married and became an executive of the company.

I have never dared to go to her to meet her, I was afraid that my father would harm my mother after he found out.

But now that my dad is dead, I don't have this concern.

"I beg you, let me go in, I beg you, my mother is Zhang Meiru, I asked her for help, I beg you."

I kept begging the security guard, hoping he would let me in.

But the security guard blocked me at the door like an insurmountable wall.

"Your mother is Zhang Meiru? Don't fucking fart. Zhang Meiru is our vice president. I've seen people like you a lot. I don't know how many people who pretend to be our illegitimate son come to recognize their relatives every day. Get lost..."

The ruthless words of the security guard pierced my heart like a sharp thorn.

Suddenly, I saw my mother coming out of the hall. She was dressed brightly, young and fashionable, wearing expensive jewelry and jewelry. Although I haven’t seen her for many years, she has changed a lot, but I can be sure that she is my mother.

No one can mistake their mother.

"Mom... Mom, I'm Wu Fei, I'm Xiao Fei, mom..."

I kept yelling, hoping to get my mother's attention.

I thought my mother would run towards me immediately when she saw me. Our mother and son have not seen each other for more than ten years. I miss her like a river, and I can't wait to rush to hug her at this time.

I thought of her, as it should be.

My eyes were red with excitement, and I wanted to cry like rain.

However, the result made me extremely disappointed.

She just looked at me with a cold face, as if she didn't know me, and there was even some anger in her eyes.

She put on her glasses casually, walked to the car indifferently, and sat in the car directly.

This series of actions made me feel as if a basin of cold water had been poured on my whole body, and my hopeful heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden.

The security guard opened the door, and I watched my mother come out in a Mercedes-Benz car. When she walked to the security room, she opened the car window, and I ran over immediately. I said excitedly: "Mom, I am Xiao Fei, Wu Fei, sister Something happened and I need money for medical treatment, please give me some money..."

I thought my mother would be very sad and worried when she heard that my sister had an accident, but she just opened the purse indifferently, took out 1000 yuan from it and threw it on the ground.

She said indifferently: "You are young, don't learn something, come out to cheat, use your relatives as an excuse, I look down on you, I will reward you with this money, security guard, don't let this kind of person come in the future , affecting the company's image."

My mother's words shocked me completely. After she finished speaking, she walked away. I looked at her indifferent back. I couldn't accept my mother's coldness at all.

That kind of loss, it's like I tried my best to climb to the paradise I thought. I thought that there was beauty and happiness in heaven, but when I opened the door, I found...

It turned out to be another hell inside.

The security guard picked up the money and threw it in my face, and pushed me away. I fell to the ground, and the security guard cursed viciously: "That is to say, Mr. Zhang has a good heart. Get the reward money and get out, next time Let me see you again, and I'll break your leg."

I looked at the money on the ground, and I really couldn't figure it out, I couldn't figure it out at all.

I am her own son, and my sister is her own daughter. Why is she so cruel?
I picked up the money, and the 1000 yuan was like poison, poisoning my love for my mother.

No, he has poisoned me.

I began to hate, hate my mother, that kind of hate cannot be expressed in words.

She makes me more desperate than my dad.

But my sister needs treatment.

In desperation, I held on tightly to the shameful 1000 yuan.

The hatred in my heart pushed me to a dead end.

I can only force me to gamble on stones now.

Gave my sister a chance to live
