Chapter 821: Chapter 795: What to Do When Encountering This Situation
“Sister-in-law, Brother Fu Gui said she’s not ntally ill, but she’s not normal, right? What do you think is going on in the mind of soone like that? I’m just going to die of anger.”
“Why be angry? I told you before, not all people with psychological problems are oddballs, and not all oddballs have ntal illnesses. If you want to analyze it, your female classmate probably has unhappy family and career life, has no face and no sha, extrely eager for attention but has nothing worthy to show off. So, she made up these stories online. If she continues like this, she won’t be far from having delusions.”
Xiao Qian has long been used to the various oddities in this world. There are too many extraordinary people, so a few more doesn’t matter.
“In the future, the internet will be even more developed than it is now. You will see more people like this, so fabricating pitiful life stories, so portraying themselves as keyboard warriors that save the world, so being so sharp online but utterly useless in reality. The internet will turn many people into sothing like split personalities, though not quite reaching ntal illness.”
Tis have changed, making oddities like Boss Qian even more indifferent. Liu i could only bla herself for being too naive to believe such stories.
“Am I too stupid? When she called stupid, I hated myself too.”
“You are just kind-hearted. I appreciate your innocence. Just don’t be too trusting next ti,” Fu Gui said gently.
“Brother Fu Gui, you knew it was fake from the beginning, didn’t you?”
“Yeah.”
“Then why did you co with ?”
“If I told you the truth, you would still worry about it. It’s better for you to see it yourself so you won’t be easily fooled next ti.”
“Brother Fu Gui, you’re so kind.”
“You’re welco.”
Boss Qian pulled her eye mask down, refusing to accept this heart-piercing dog food.
This is the county town where Liu i’s foster parents live. Fu Gui wanted to visit Liu i’s parents, so Xiao Qian ca along as well.
Liu i’s foster parents are actually her biological aunt and uncle. They have a business in the county town, and they are quite well-off, living in a huge courtyard house with various fruit trees in the yard. Liu i spent her childhood here.
Her biological parents are civil servants. When she was born, she couldn’t be taken back ho. Fortunately, her foster parents treated her very well. They both went out to greet Liu i when she arrived and were particularly pleased to see the imposing Fu Gui.
Fu Gui brought many gifts, and Liu i’s foster parents were very hospitable to everyone. Fu Gui originally planned to leave after dinner, but suddenly the weather changed, and there was hail and heavy rain.
“It seems heaven is helping us keep our guests. In this case, you don’t have to go back. Just stay the night at our house. If the weather is good tomorrow, you can go back then,” Liu i’s foster mother hadn’t seen her for a long ti and wanted her to stay another night.
Anyway, the courtyard house had many rooms.
“Then we won’t hold back,” Fu Gui could see that Liu i was reluctant to leave her foster parents, and with the bad weather, they decided to stay for the night.
Xiao Qian wasn’t used to staying at soone else’s house, but under these circumstances, it was inconvenient to go back. There was a mountain road they had to pass on their way here; if there was a mudslide due to the heavy rain, it would be troubleso.
The rain was pouring non-stop. The weather forecast only ntioned light rain. Xiao Qian didn’t worry about anything else, just Yu Minglang who was in the mountains.
He was conducting a new soldier assessnt in the mountains. Would there be any danger in this heavy rain?
His mobile phone wasn’t reachable, so she had no idea how he was doing.
Xiao Qian stood by the window, watching the heavy rain outside, feeling extrely anxious.
She couldn’t shake the feeling that sothing was going to happen.
At night, Liu i’s foster father and elder brother chatted with Fu Gui, while Liu i’s foster mother chatted more about family matters with Xiao Qian and Liu i.
Technically, Liu i’s foster mother was also a relative of Yu Minglang, so she was especially warm towards Xiao Qian. Several won chatted until past 10 pm.
At this mont, the rain stopped for a while, and Liu i went to open the window for so fresh air.
It suddenly occurred to Liu i’s foster mother.
“Good thing you ca back at this ti. If you ca back a month earlier, it wouldn’t be this quiet. We couldn’t even open the windows at night.”
Liu i’s foster mother still felt uneasy when thinking about the events of a month ago.
“What happened a month ago? You didn’t tell when I called,” Liu i didn’t know what had happened.
Xiao Qian silently watched Liu i interact with her foster mother. She could see this family treated her very well and how Liu i’s open and honest personality ca from her foster mother. Although she wasn’t her biological mother, Liu i’s character was very similar to hers, due to being raised by her since she was a child. Instead, her biological mother was more cautious and reserved after many years of working in officials positions. Xiao Qian had t her on one occasion and felt Liu i seed to be closer with her foster mother.
“Their son went crazy in the house next to us. He would stand in the yard and scream at half past twelve every night. We didn’t know what he was shouting, but it sounded like a woman’s na.”
“What? Isn’t there a kind elderly couple living next door? Don’t they have two daughters and no son?” Liu i rembered that before she left ho, there was a nice elderly couple living next door.
“Uncle Liu sold his house. His daughter took the old couple abroad to enjoy their lives. A new family moved in next door. Their son was ntally ill as soon as they moved here. He kept insisting that he was married to a certain actress…”
Liu i was dumbfounded. “Is it true? Why didn’t you tell ?”
“You were busy with job hunting and stuff at that ti. When I called you, we barely had ti to catch up with our own family. There wasn’t any ti to talk about this. Later, his family sent him to a ntal hospital for treatnt. They said he was better, but recently he had a relapse. They sent him to the ntal hospital again.”
“That’s really worrying.”
“Isn’t it? When he was sick a while ago, it was terrifying. Every night, he would start screaming precisely at 12:30 am. Your father couldn’t sleep after listening to him scream. We finally had so peace after he was sent for treatnt. We’re used to living in this ancestral house. If they didn’t send him away, we would have had to move to our apartnt. I’m not used to living upstairs.”
The large courtyard house had been around for a while, and they were more comfortable living there than in an apartnt. Liu i’s foster mother’s heart ached when she thought about how she almost had to move because of her ntally ill neighbor.
“By the way, Xiao Qian, both you and Fu Gui deal with ntally ill people, right?” Liu i’s foster mother asked Xiao Qian.
Xiao Qian smiled, “My brother is a forensic psychiatrist, and I am a psychologist.”
“What’s the difference?”
“Simply put, he’s responsible for identifying which criminals are ntally ill, and I provide services to those with so psychological barriers but not severe enough to be considered ntally ill. Of course, occasionally, I also assist psychiatrists in the treatnt.”
“So, do you think there are any laws in our country to deal with neighbors like ours? If he gets out of the hospital and starts screaming ‘I love you’ in the courtyard again, what should we do? The police won’t arrest him even if we call them. If we keep protesting, we hurt the neighbor’s feelings.”
