Something happened. This is not going to be bloody.

After half a month of peace and tranquility, Zhou Leng received a call from the police station, asking her to pick someone up because her mother Wang Hehua had a fight with someone else.

Zhou Leng was in a complicated mood. My mother, who only cared about me, loved me, and paid attention to me, actually had a fight with someone else? It must be because of me.

After asking for leave from the director, Zhou Leng arrived at the door of the police station. She ran into the boy named Huang He who she had dated with, and they knew each other after just one look.

The boy leaned close to Zhou Leng and whispered:

"How about we get married, let my mom and your mom take care of each other, we'll have a contractual marriage, and I'll tell you I'll never have children in this lifetime, I don't want the next generation to suffer the same treatment as us, and we don't need to fulfill husband and wife obligations, to be honest I'm a bit misogynistic."

Zhou Leng twitched his lips and said:

"Forget it. That's not within my scope of thought. I actually feel it's okay. Not getting married and not having children is my last resort. Okay, but you, I haven't seen you for half a month. You look much more haggard."

The boy's eyes were dark and he looked thinner. If you looked closely, his lips were slightly purple, which gave people the illusion that he was a little old.

Huang He grinned, and that smile was like a devil crawling out of hell. He said in a calm tone:

"You are indeed one of the few likable girls I have ever seen. In fact, I always feel that you can escape from your mother's constraints. Look at the way you do things and dress. Although you said that your mother bought them, I think you must have tricked your mother into buying them for you. Why don't you leave?"

Zhou Leng looked at him and asked, "If you want, you can leave, why not leave?"

The boy was silent for a while before he said:

"You see, I've also fallen into a misunderstanding. When I look at others, I always think I can escape from the common customs, but when I really look at myself, I find that I am not as good as others. I'm not afraid that they treat me badly, I'm just afraid that they treat me too well!"

Zhou Leng shook his head and laughed, then continued to walk forward.

The two went into the police station together.

Wang Hehua and Huang He's mother couldn't even be in the same mediation room because they would fight as soon as they met and their faces would turn red with anger.

The police could do nothing but criticize and educate the two middle-aged women, so they could only ask their family members to pick them up and then handle the matter separately through mediation.

Zhou Leng saw Wang Hehua sitting there waiting, with disheveled hair and a face full of anger.

Wang Hehua watched her daughter come in, she stood up and explained excitedly:

"Daughter, don't blame me this time. I was strolling in the blind date corner when I heard Huang He's mother saying bad things about you. Why doesn't she take a piss to see what kind of character her own son has compared to herself? She dares to look down on you and say that you are a mama's boy. Bah, her son is a mama's boy. What a jerk, he has no dignity at all. He also said bad things about our family behind our backs. What can she say about our family?"

Zhou Leng walked over and sat next to Wang Hehua, looked up at the policeman who was trying not to laugh and said:

"Comrade police officer, I will go back to criticize my mother. Can you please take her home first? She is old and her mood swings are very big. She won't cause trouble for you here."

The police looked at Zhou Leng and said:

"Neither of them had any skin injuries. You should take your mother back. Don't quarrel anymore. Look how angry you made the old lady. The key is that she is not young anymore. If something goes wrong, it will not be worth it."

Zhou Leng quickly thanked and assured.

The two left the police station.

On the way home, Wang Hehua kept saying bad things about the other person:

"You can't guess what Huang He's mother said. She said I was the kind of mother who would follow her child around, that anyone who married you would have an extra ancestor who would take care of things, and that you listened to your mother on everything and had no opinion of your own. What kind of words are these?"

Zhou Leng was silent. She thought, isn't it because the other person said something that touched your heart that you were angry? However, she let the other person chatter in the car. Although she couldn't hear what the other person said in the end, she would still nod and agree perfunctorily.

Two months after the fight at the police station, Zhou Leng received a strange phone call.

After answering the phone, a hoarse female voice was heard. The despair and old age revealed in the voice made Zhou Leng inexplicably frightened. She asked politely, "Who are you?"

The other party was silent for a while before saying:

"I'm Huang He's mother. Can you come and see him? He's dying and he said he wants to see you."

Zhou Leng frowned slightly and said:

"We are not familiar with each other. He sees me and does whatever I want. If I am sick, I go to the doctor. If I have a grievance, I go to the police. I am very busy."

The other party cried and said:

"Please come and see him. He committed suicide by taking pills. Now his organs are exhausted. He won't live for many days. He just wants to see you. Please, auntie, please have pity on Huang He. He has no other intentions. Just meet him once."

Zhou Leng thought for a moment and said, "Then send me the address."

The address displayed on the mobile phone screen is cold and lifeless.

Zhou Leng told her mother about this, and she invited Wang Hehua to go with her so that she could see the helpless ending of a child who was forced to be a mama's boy, and also see the other party's reaction. This was also the reason why she agreed to go see the other party.

Wang Hehua didn't want to go at first, but when he heard that Huang He was going to die, he followed him to the hospital because it was also a life.

In the ward.

A "human-shaped skeleton" with tubes inserted into his body, a pale face and purple lips was lying on the bed.

Huang He's mother stood beside the bed.

The house smelled of disinfectant, which was a bit pungent and strangely refreshing.

Zhou Leng sat on the bed and said, "We are not that close, right?"

Huang He sneered, his chest rising and falling. His voice was weak, but his tone was firm as he said:

"I'm dying, and I want to see no one around me when I die. But I have no friends, no brothers, and after thinking about it, you are the only one I want to see. You should live well and don't be like me. I have no ambition and I can't resist and choose to be free. I hope you can be yourself one day."

Zhou Leng looked at the other person's relieved eyes and asked in a low voice:

"There are many ways, why choose this one?"

Huang He said with hatred:

"I want to punish myself, to die in pain and despair. The more painful and uncomfortable it is, the better. This way my parents will remember and feel uncomfortable. They forced me to do this, hahaha..."

Huang He's mother stood by the window crying, she was confused and at a loss.

Zhou Leng reached out and held the other person's hand tightly and said:

"Don't worry, I won't be like you. It's nice to meet you, Huang He."

The other party panted and said in a rare relaxed tone: "Me too, nice to meet you, You Tong."

After a while, Huang He waved his hand and asked the two to leave.

On the way home, Wang Hehua was very silent. After a long while, she said:

"This child is really ill-educated. How did his parents do him wrong? They let him study and raised him to be a talented person, but in the end, he became his parents' fault. He drank poison and committed suicide just to make his parents sad. Fortunately, you didn't like each other at that time. This person has a problem with his brain."

Wang Hehua in the rearview mirror had a look of confusion on her face. She frowned slightly, and her appearance was chilling.

Zhou Leng echoed, "Mom is right. So, don't try to change anyone with your life. The only person you can change is yourself."

Wang Hehua even nodded in agreement, and then continued to criticize the man who tortured himself and his family with death and illness.
