Why not hang yourself on the southeast tree

Chapter 260: Cicada Escapes (1)

(Some of the descriptions of disabled elderly people in this article may cause discomfort, so please be prepared.)

I never thought that there would be a day when I would see Grandpa Zhu again. What a small world.

Maybe I am blessed with great fortune, and I have to return to the human world and be fryed in oil again.

Now, I am a cicada, commonly known as cicada.

In ancient China, I was given the symbolic meaning of resurrection and eternal life.

Well, it still gets eaten.

Being eaten by ants, mantises, and birds, and then deep-fried before being eaten by people, every bite was crunchy, how could one describe how miserable it was...

I and my brothers who were born from the same mother had just hatched from a worm hole somewhere on a branch. Our bodies were so light that when the wind blew, we fell down...

Fortunately, there was dense grass under the tree, which served as a soft cushion. I was resilient and did not fall to death.

Everyone was scrambling around in a panic, but I stretched my neck to look around, wanting to see an old acquaintance -

For example, Sister Fang, or Grandpa Zhu.

[Hey, you old man, why did you keep quiet and poop your pants pocket, making the room stink? If I wasn't injured, I could wash it for you right away, but how did you ask Xiao Fang to do it alone?! I'm so pissed! ]

Old Mrs. Zhu yelled, and Grandpa Zhu was so scared that he shrank his neck and dared not say a word.

Ever since she discovered that he was incontinent, Mrs. Zhu has become more and more angry. On the one hand, she is worried that the old man's condition is getting worse, and on the other hand, she is afraid that outsiders and even her children will dislike her after knowing it.

These days, even biological sons are unwilling to clean up the shit and urine for their elderly and disabled parents...

Grandpa Zhu is old, and the medicine he has been taking to control his disease for many years is of no use. It is a pure waste of money, so Grandma Zhu simply stopped taking the medicine and just took better care of him in daily life.

The doctor also said that the patient will experience mental cognitive disorders (not recognizing people), sleep disorders (abnormal sleeping behavior, shouting), neurological dysfunction, etc. As the disease progresses, there is a high possibility of complete disability in the later stage.

Now it seems that it has almost all of them.

Sister Fang was still busy cooking in the kitchen, stewing bacon slices with cabbage, steaming eggs, and stir-frying shredded potatoes.

When she brought the food to the table, she smelled a faint stench in the air and felt nauseous.

【well……】

I don’t know who sighed.

Old Mrs. Zhu grabbed Grandpa Zhu, who was hungry and happily about to sit at the table, and punched him twice on the back angrily. Grandpa Zhu acted as if nothing had happened and didn't feel any pain.

[Grandpa, this is...Okay, Grandma, you go eat first, I'll clean up for you! ]

What could Sister Fang say? She was mentally prepared. She had worked as a nurse in a hospital before and had encountered similar things before.

However, those were critically ill patients who had undergone surgery and were unable to move, and their salary was only 300 yuan a day...

To be honest, she still felt a little uncomfortable.

Sister Fang waved her hands and held her breath. In this situation, she could only shut up and do what she had to do.

[Hey, how can I ask you to do it alone? I'm sorry, Xiao Fang, but for an old man like this, it would be better for me to die early and have some peace and quiet...]

As she said this, Mrs. Zhu's eyes were red. She sat in a wheelchair, her hands tightly grasping the hem of Grandpa Zhu's clothes.

As his companion for more than 60 years, she has always been sharp-tongued but kind-hearted, feeling embarrassed and sad for him.

The two of them dragged and coaxed Grandpa Zhu to the bathroom.

Once the door was closed, apart from Grandpa Zhu's occasional weird shouts, no more conversation could be heard...

The oscillating fan in Old Lady Zhu's room was turned on to the highest setting, blowing out the stinky air.

Another gust of wind blew through the grass, and the leaves swayed madly.

I couldn't hold on any longer and was blown over by the wind, landing headfirst in the mud.

Alas, this time I will be lonely and cold for a long time, with no excitement to watch -

As a cicada nymph, I have to burrow underground, cling to tree roots and suck sap from them to grow slowly. This process will last for several years.

?

The brothers passing by rushed around recklessly, not understanding the meaning of politeness at all.

Fighting for territory, fighting for food, and in the future fighting for wives, this will continue throughout one's life.

Life is already difficult enough, so don't expose some things.

Come on, come on, go down, there are ants coming over there!!!

Summer passes and autumn comes.

Water spinach is so rampant that its stems are so thick that they can only be fed to pigs.

Old Mrs. Zhu often cursed, and Grandpa Zhu, who was cursed, stood obediently in front of the wheelchair. Although he could not recognize the old woman who spit in his face, he instinctively knew that she was a relative.

Sister Fang takes care of the two elders wholeheartedly. Even if she gets angry occasionally, she will say it to their faces. They get along like a family.

At this moment, she was squatting by the sink, tilting her head to one side and retching, while her hands were constantly washing Grandpa Zhu's dirty clothes with a large brush.

There is a separate pool in the yard, which is usually used to wash mops. The dirty water flows directly into the ditch at the back and can be used to fertilize the soil.

Old Mrs. Zhu saw this through the window of her room, and secretly felt lucky that she had really met a good person.

Her son Zhu Xiaojun was so angry when he was serving his father last night that he wanted to beat him with his shoe soles. It was the middle of the night and the words he said were as unpleasant as they could be.

[Dad, what did you do outside again? Damn! It stinks, ugh——]

[I watch the store during the day and have to do all this for you at night, ugh - you might as well kill me! ]

[Stop, wash yourself before getting into bed! Ugh——]

[MD, ugh——yesterday when my elder sister came, why didn’t you poop in your pants to disgust her? ]

Do you really think that all your neighbors are asleep and won’t stick to the wall?

The neighbors two doors away wanted to pay Xiao Fang 3500 yuan to dig him over to take care of their paralyzed old lady, but Xiao Fang was kind and righteous, so he refused on the spot, saying that he had signed a contract.

Old Mrs. Zhu's face was so embarrassed at that time.

According to the contract template of the housekeeping company, the minimum wage for caring for two disabled elderly people at home is 3300 yuan, including food and accommodation, but she forcibly changed it to 2800 yuan.

The boss of the housekeeping company is a relative of the Zhu family. He knows that Mrs. Zhu has always been a stingy person. He wants to make a profit from both ends of every business deal, so he just considers it as charging less agency fees.

When Sister Fang used the contract as a shield without any hesitation, Mrs. Zhu felt like she was slapped in the face, burning with pain.

However, it is impossible to ask her to raise her salary.

Money is her lifeblood. As long as Sister Fang doesn't suddenly resign, she will absolutely not take the initiative to ask for more money.

Later, several children took turns to keep the baby company at night, and they all experienced similar incidents and were miserable.

Everyone agreed to meet and discuss the matter. After thinking it over, they decided to ask Zhu Xiaojun, who runs a small supermarket, to provide adult diapers to the old man. Their own family members disliked them, so they shouldn't treat outsiders in such a disgusting way!

If the neighbors next door spread the word, his entire family would be stabbed in the back.

He had no objection to Zhu Xiaojun contributing money and effort, but his three sisters and one younger sister couldn't just sit there and watch.

[This thing is not expensive, but it is not a small amount of money after using it for many years. Let's share the cost and go with the purchase price. Sisters, rest assured that I will never make a dime more than my family! ]

Five right hands were put together and swung up and down three times to reach an agreement.

When Zhu Xiaojun handed over the work to Sister Fang the next morning, he told her this, and Sister Fang breathed a sigh of relief.

In the past few months, she had difficulty swallowing food and lost more than ten pounds. Without the fat on her face, she looked very old...
