1. Happiness brings disaster
Tang Jigang was completely confused by his usually gentle and sweet girlfriend Yuan Li's temper these days. He thought Yuan Li was testing him, so he tried to do things in Yuan Li's favor. I love Yuan Li and don’t want to let her down at the critical moment.
Tomorrow is the day to go back to Yuan Li's hometown to meet the future father-in-law and mother-in-law. In the evening, Yuan Li asked him to go to discuss going home tomorrow. In order to add a warm atmosphere, Tang Jigang specially asked Yuan Li to meet at Aiba Restaurant. He reserved a seat in advance. He also asked the waiter to arrange the roses. He then went to the jewelry store and carefully selected a ring to formally propose to Yuan Li, and then ran to the hotel with joy. In half an hour, it would be time for the date, and he had to Go and welcome Yuan Li's arrival in advance.
The restaurant is just around the corner, but something unexpected happened. He bumped into someone, who fell to the ground and rolled over a few times. "I'm not that strong, so why would I roll over? Is this a scam?" Tang Jigang thought.
"Are you okay?" He leaned over to take a look. It was not too late yet, and he saw the person lying on the side of the road. His head suddenly buzzed. The person was a middle-aged woman, lying on the ground. His face was pale and frightening all the time. How could this be called a scam? He had clearly knocked her unconscious.
This was bad. If he really knocked someone out, he would be in trouble. Instinctively, he wanted to walk away, but after taking a step, he stopped again, thinking, if he walked away like this, he would also be in trouble. This is too inhuman. Thinking of this, he squatted down again and called out, but the middle-aged woman still didn't respond, and her face seemed to be even paler. He didn't hesitate any more, picked up the middle-aged woman, hailed a taxi and went to Hospital rush.
In the car, he felt very nervous and didn't dare to look at the middle-aged woman, because the middle-aged woman looked dead in his arms, no different from a dead person.
"Is this your mom? What's wrong?" the driver asked with concern.
"It wasn't my mother. I was just running and bumped into her." said Tang Jigang.
"Buddy, there are many people who blackmail others for trivial matters these days. I don't think she is a good person. You have to think it over carefully…" the driver kindly reminded him.
"Master, please be faster! We can't do such an immoral thing." Tang Jigang was extremely anxious.
Arriving at the hospital, Tang Jigang carried the middle-aged woman into the outpatient department. The doctor took a look and said she was dying. Tang Jigang kept begging, and the doctor had no choice but to do a brain CT scan and electrocardiogram on the middle-aged woman first.
While waiting outside the CT room, Tang Ji just remembered that his date with Yuan Li was over, so he had to call Yuan Li and ask her to wait. But after calling for a long time, the phone did not respond, and he was as anxious as a hot pot. Ants on the ground.
The doctor in the CT room asked him to carry the patient away. When he was carrying the middle-aged woman out of the CT room and preparing to go to the electrocardiogram room, he heard the doctor muttering in the back: "The patient is in such a state, why do you still need a CT scan?" He just ignored her. Hearing this, he ran to the electrocardiogram room carrying the middle-aged woman.
After the examination, he took the CT scan and electrocardiogram and ran back to the outpatient department with the middle-aged woman in his arms. He put the middle-aged woman on the bed and let the doctor look at the CT scan and electrocardiogram. The doctor just glanced at her and said, "Get rid of her!" Well, it’s no longer possible.”
In fact, he had already felt it when he was running back and forth with the middle-aged woman in his arms, even without the doctor telling him. But he really couldn't accept the reality that the middle-aged woman was killed by him.
2. A copper ring
Tang Jigang walked out of the clinic holding the middle-aged woman, feeling as if the sky was falling. Was it manslaughter that he had killed someone? If so, he would lose everything, including his freedom, his job, and Yuan Li.
He also thought about just dumping the middle-aged woman somewhere, after all, no one he knew saw him hitting her. But he didn't do it. He would rather lose everything than do something immoral. In despair, the middle-aged woman suddenly coughed a few times and her body trembled a few times.
Tang Jigang couldn't believe his eyes. The middle-aged woman actually moved and slowly opened her eyes. "It was you who saved me?" the middle-aged woman said weakly.
"No, no, I hit you. I sent you to the hospital, and the doctor said…" Tang Jigang felt like he was in a dream.
"Don't blame you. I'm having a heart attack. Please put me down." said the middle-aged woman.
"No, let's go to the hospital again and go home after we get better." Tang Jigang was so happy that tears kept streaming down his face.
"No need, put me down. I have something urgent to do and I need to leave quickly." The middle-aged woman insisted on leaving, so Tang Jigang put her down.
"It cost a lot of money to get checked, didn't it?" The middle-aged woman took off a ring on her hand and handed it to him. "I don't have any money on me, so I'll give it to you." Tang Jigang said he didn't want anything. Anxious: "If you don't want it, I will have another heart attack."
Tang Jigang had no choice but to accept it. He knew that the ring was not valuable. It was made of copper and had the word "Jiang" engraved on it. He watched the middle-aged woman disappear at the corner of the intersection before he He put the copper ring in his pocket and prepared to take a taxi to Aiba Restaurant. When he put the ring in his pocket, he remembered the ring he bought for Yuan Li, but he couldn't find it after searching through his pockets. He suddenly remembered that he had been holding the ring in his pocket. It was in his hand and must have fallen to the ground when he collided with the middle-aged woman.
He took a car to the intersection and searched for a long time, but couldn't find the ring. He wanted to go buy it again, but the jewelry store was closed. Even if it was not closed, he didn't have the money to buy the ring, so he could only go back later. Besides. He ran towards the Aiba Restaurant.
Yuan Li sat alone in the restaurant with roses in her arms, tears streaming down her face. Tang Jigang kept explaining to Yuan Li why he was late. Yuan Li didn't listen. She said she had to go home tomorrow. Her parents were old-fashioned people, and she still didn't know what their criteria were for choosing a son-in-law. If her parents didn't like him, no matter how much she spoke for Tang Jigang, it would be useless.
Tang Jigang had no choice but to nod and listen. The romantic courtship ceremony was disrupted by the middle-aged woman. He couldn't use the copper ring to propose, right?
In the end, it was Yuan Li who paid the bill, as Tang Jigang had almost used up all the money he had in the hospital.
3. Ring as Evidence
The next day, they boarded the car to Yuan Li's home. On the way, Yuan Li still looked worried and spoke very little. When the sun was about to set, they finally got home. But they were stunned. There was white paper pasted on the door and some people were standing in front of it.
Yuan Li sensed something and ran into the house, followed closely by Tang Jigang. The house had become a mourning hall, Yuan Li's mother had passed away.
Yuan Li cried bitterly, and Tang Jigang also cried. Yuan Li's voice became hoarse, and her father pulled her up from the bedside.
Yuan Li sobbed and asked her father, "Mom was in good health, why did she pass away?"
The father said that a few days ago, Yuan Li's mother felt depressed and kept saying that Yuan Li should find a boyfriend to entrust her life to. He didn't pay much attention to it at the time and urged her to go to the hospital for a check-up, but she — was busy with housework and refused to go. He thought that she must want to meet Shuai Li and Yuan Li’s boyfriend, so he called Yuan Li and asked her to bring Tang Jigang home to meet them. After a while, she felt a severe tightness in her chest and died before she was sent to the hospital.
Yuan Li started crying again. The days when she was upset and angry for no reason were when her mother was sick. This was probably the connection between mother and daughter.
As Tang Jigang listened to the father and daughter talking, he unconsciously glanced at the portrait placed in the middle. He shuddered and couldn't help but widen his eyes. Why did Yuan Li's mother look so much like the middle-aged woman he had knocked down? Women? It can't be such a coincidence, right? If it is true, wouldn't it be the same as killing my mother-in-law? His hand holding the copper ring in his pocket was sweating.
The next day, when Yuan Li's mother was buried , her father suddenly remembered something. He lifted the longevity list covering the body and looked at it. Then he looked around the coffin and seemed very anxious. Yuan Li asked her father what he was looking for. Her father said he was looking for the ring that Yuan Li's mother had worn on her hand for more than 30 years.
Tang Jigang couldn't help but blurt out: "Is there a word 'Jiang' engraved on it?"
"Yes, I gave it to her. Her last name is Jiang, so I carved the word 'Jiang' on it. Did you pick it up?" Yuan Li's father looked at Tang Jigang.
Tang Jigang knelt down in front of the coffin, took out the copper ring, and said in a tearful voice: "Yuan Li, the person I knocked down the evening before yesterday was my aunt. She was killed by me." He then told the story of the evening before yesterday. once.
Yuan Li collapsed on the ground. She really couldn't accept the fact that her future husband was the culprit who knocked down her mother and killed her.
The father said that Yuan Li’s mother’s death definitely had nothing to do with Tang Jigang, because Yuan Li’s mother had not left home in the past few days. She died in the late afternoon of the day before yesterday and it was impossible for her to have been to a place hundreds of miles away. "How did that ring end up in my hands?" Tang Jigang asked impatiently.
Yuan Li's father said: "When she was dying, she was still talking about Yuan Li's marriage. Her last words were: When she died and was buried, if this copper ring was still on her hand, Yuan Li would not be able to choose Current boyfriend; if the ring is no longer on her hand, it means that Yuan Li can be with her current boyfriend. I think she wants to know whether you are someone she can trust, so she will test you after she dies. She said She didn't care that Yuan Li's boyfriend was rich and powerful, as long as he was honest and treated Yuan Li well. She tested you in that way. She believed that if you could take responsibility for someone you didn't know, you would definitely Yuan Li: Okay, that’s why I gave you the ring. "
After hearing what Yuan Li's father said, Tang Jigang burst into tears again. He kowtowed to Yuan Li's mother and said, "Please rest assured, auntie, I will treat Yuan Li well for the rest of my life."
