His face became uglier as he spoke, and he thought of some details he had overlooked.
“After my parents married, the two families did not have close contact. The main reason was that my grandmother did not like me and my father. She was very strict with my mother, as if I, as a son, wanted to harm her.”
“But some time ago, she suddenly called me and said that my mother was not in good condition and asked me to go home immediately.”
After receiving the news that his mother was critically ill, Shijianwu hurried back.
As a result, after arriving at his grandmother’s house, he found that although his mother’s mental state was still not very good, she was thin and lying on the bed, but she could eat and sleep, and there was not much change from before.
He could not help asking his grandmother what was wrong with his mother and was scolded.
In desperation, he stayed at his grandmother’s house for two days, and only left home to work after confirming that his mother’s condition was stable.
‘Shijianwu’ said with a hidden pain: “When I lived in my grandmother’s house, my food, clothing, housing, and transportation were all based on her preferences. She told me at the dinner table that my mother’s condition was getting worse and worse, and asked me to quit my job and go back to my hometown with them to take care of my mother.”
“I tactfully said that I was busy with work, but I would spend a lot of money to hire a nurse for my mother. She also scolded me for being unfilial, saying that my father had taught me to be an ungrateful person for so many years and that I didn’t even care about my mother.”
At that time, Shijianwu faced the anger of his grandmother head-on and was also very confused and even a little aggrieved.
His grandmother didn’t let him and his father take his mother away and didn’t let the three of them meet often.
Now she said that he was unfilial and insisted on resigning.
At that time, Shijianwu just felt that the old lady was like his mother, and had some family-inherited mental illness, so he endured it and smiled.
Now thinking about it, it was strange.
Why did his grandmother insist on him resigning?
Wouldn’t a dedicated caregiver be more attentive and be able to take better care of the mother?
‘Shijianwu’ said: “After that day, my grandmother would call me repeatedly and ask me to resign. Because I disagree, I was scolded for being unfilial every time.”
“I also remember one thing. 2 months before my college entrance examination, my grandmother also came to take care of me for a while. She supervised my review and asked me not to be lazy…”
At that time, he and his father were also confused.
The old lady, who had not been in contact for many years, came to their house to watch over the child’s study, and her attitude was still cold.
At that time, his father still felt that the old lady had a grandson in her heart and cared about Shijianwu. He also fantasized that after the college entrance examination, the old lady would let go and let their family reconcile again, so he readily agreed.
Although the grandmother was still cold and indifferent in those two months, she often made soup for him.
After failing the college entrance examination, the grandmother left without saying anything. Shijianwu felt that he was very sorry for his father and grandmother.
When doubts arise, these details that once confused people seem even stranger.
Shijianwu said as he was a little upset: “But, why is this happening? I am his only grandchild! What good is there for her to do this?!”
Gu Zhisang frowned slightly and suddenly asked:
“You first posted a comment in the live broadcast room, saying that a demon possesses your family member. This person should be your mother.”
Shijianwu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and admitted: “Master, how did you know?”
Gu Zhisang said: “Your left forehead’s ‘Futang’ is dark and dull, and it is also covered with a layer of heavy evil spirits. It is also the owl god that affects your fortune. All this shows that your mother is not in good condition and has been entangled by some insidious things for many years.”
Shijianwu clenched his fists: “Sure enough… Is it the demon’s doing it?! My mother is not mentally ill!”
Then Shijianwu began to talk about his mother’s situation.
According to him, his childhood was relatively happy.
When his parents got married, his father knew that his mother’s mental and psychological conditions were not very good, but his father didn’t care because he loved his mother.
Before the age of six, although his grandmother was always dissatisfied with his father, they loved each other and their family was considered happy.
Then one day, his mother’s illness suddenly broke out.
She lay in bed screaming, twitching, and crying, saying that she saw a terrifying demon, and she stood by the bed and smashed things everywhere.
At a young age, Shijianwu was smashed on the forehead by her mother with an iron box, and she cried loudly in pain and fear.
After going to the hospital for treatment, the doctor said that my mother had “epilepsy”.
After the illness, his mother’s mental condition became more and more unstable. The most common thing she said was:
The demon is beside me, it is torturing me!
After seeing the doctor several times without success, his father was exhausted physically and mentally.
He began to suspect whether his wife was possessed by something.
Because every time his wife’s reaction was real. She was very scared and painful.
Until one day, when his mother was lying on the bed, her body twisted, her face was grinning, and the sound coming out of her mouth was not hers, but a hoarse and terrifying male voice that they could not understand, his father decided to take his wife to see a Taoist Master.
As a result, he was strongly opposed by his grandmother.
As a Christian, she firmly said that her mother was suffering from ‘epilepsy’, that there were no demons in the world, and that Shijianwu‘s father was talking nonsense!
Later, the old lady called the police directly, sat at the door of the house, and cried loudly, saying that Shijianwu‘s father wanted to harm her daughter and engage in feudal superstition. She wanted her daughter to divorce her son-in-law and take her daughter to see a doctor herself.
This incident made the grandparents of Shijianwu very angry, and they felt that the in-laws were too outrageous.
Her son has taken good care of her daughter for so many years, but he never gave his family a good face.
Several times, the old couple saw their in-laws scolding their son like a grandson. If it weren’t for the fact that their daughter-in-law was pitiful and filial to them, they would have been unable to bear it.
This time, the daughter-in-law suddenly fell ill, making everyone restless, and even injured Shijianwu.
In short, under various pressures and pressure from the elders of both families, Shijianwu‘s parents were forced to divorce.
In the following years, his mother’s condition became worse and worse, and she looked haggard and was almost as thin as a skeleton.
During this period, his grandmother insisted on taking his mother to the hospital for repeated medical treatment of “epilepsy”.
What made Shijianwu most angry and unacceptable was that seven years ago, he failed the college entrance examination and went to study in another province. He had no time and energy to care for his mother.
That year, the grandmother who firmly believed that his mother was just mentally ill and had “epilepsy” actually took his mother to the hospital for a craniotomy and removed her mother’s “frontal temporal lobe” and other cerebral cortex!
When he found out, his mother had already been sutured after the operation, and she was lying in bed stupidly, not getting any better, but getting weaker.
After so many years, it stands to reason that the focus of “epilepsy” is in the “frontal temporal lobe”, and since the removal of the mother should have been cured, she still had an attack, often starting with weak and sunken eyes in fear, muttering to the devil to let her go.
Shijianwu also began to believe that there was some unnatural power in his mother from not believing in ghosts before.
But no matter how he persuaded his grandmother, her attitude was:
It’s impossible, there are no demons, she is just sick.
He and his father secretly brought people to his grandmother’s house several times, wanting to see his mother;
But his grandmother was very strict with his mother, and she would be discovered every time, and then scolded and kicked out of the house again.
In the eyes of Shijianwu, his grandmother also had some mental illness.
Since he could remember, his mother had been living under the control of his grandmother. That kind of perverted “maternal love” really pressed his mother like a mountain.
It was not allowed to be questioned or resisted. What to eat every day to be healthy, who to meet when going out, what clothes to wear… and so on, the grandmother had to intervene in everything, even the affairs between their small family.
Growing up in such a family atmosphere, he felt that even if his mother was not sick, she would be mentally ill.
Recently, he was tormented by the things at home and in the company.
After seeing Gu Zhisang’s live broadcast, he suddenly thought of his mother’s situation and tentatively typed a message for help in the comment area.
Unexpectedly, he was selected!
After listening to the situation of Shijianwu‘s mother, Gu Zhisang nodded slightly and turned off her phone.
She just searched for ‘temporal lobe’ removal surgery, and frowned after reading it, because she was sure that a sinister thing entangled Shijianwu’s mother. This kind of surgery was not only ineffective but would also cause certain damage to the physical and mental health of Shijianwu‘s mother.
Gu Zhisang asked: “Do you have photos of your mother and your grandmother? Can you send them to me?”
Shijianwu said: “I only have a family photo of me when I was a child, is that alright?”
“Yes,” said Gu Zhisang.
After taking the photo and looking at it, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
After confirming again, she sneered at the corners of her lips and looked up at the camera:
“Do you and your father know that these two women are not related by blood?”
“They are not mother and daughter at all!”
