Son: His mother was wrongly accused of stealing a tortoise in public, and she felt extremely aggrieved and sued for justice
The unexpected death of Mrs. Yang was a huge blow to his family. During the month, Gao Shan would shed tears whenever he talked about his mother's experience. Gao Shan said that after his mother fainted, the family tried every means to save her, but the fact was that they had no chance to make a last-ditch effort. "My mother was in critical condition when she fainted. The intracranial pressure increased within a short period of time, and then she died." I couldn't get down anymore, and my pupils never contracted after they dilated."
Gao Shan said that his mother was born in 1953. At that time, his grandfather’s family conditions were good, and his mother was always in good health. She basically took care of the housework at home and helped pick up and drop off her grandchildren. She was not very high during her lifetime. Blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases, let alone fainting due to emotional stress. "My mother is usually strong-willed and has strict upbringing for us three brothers. Our hands and feet are never unclean. I am the eldest of our three brothers. My second brother and I are twins. We were born in 1978. She trained us all to go to college. We all received higher education, which was not easy in those days. As a result, in order to enjoy her old age, she was wrongly accused of stealing turtles. There were many people in the market at that time, and they argued for more than an hour. She was very aggrieved."
What chills Mrs. Yang’s family is that after Mrs. Yang fainted, the dispute over her being wrongfully accused of stealing turtles is still being mediated. However, after being sent to the hospital, the Shenzhen aquatic product stall owner and his wife never recovered. There has been no apology in terms of visits or verbal concern. "Later, we also submitted to the police that the aquatic product stall owner and his wife wrongly accused my mother of stealing turtles at the market, which involved defamation and slander. However, after research, the police believed that the stall owner was in the aquatic product stall at the time and my mother was outside the stall. , there was no physical contact between the two parties, and it was determined that this was a civil dispute. My mother also accepted this explanation. Later we will file a civil lawsuit against the aquatic product stall owner and his wife and the vegetable market management, hoping to seek justice for my mother. "
Gao Shan still cannot accept the fact that his mother has passed away. He always feels that his mother has gone on a trip and will come back one day. "The day before the accident, my mother was having dinner at my house, talking and laughing, but it was like she left us the next day.
My mother and my father have been together for more than 40 years, and now my father often secretly wipes his tears alone. To be honest, our family is not short of money. My parents have their own pensions, and the three of us brothers have our own careers and businesses. Recently, two old houses in our family were expropriated and demolished, and the compensation was more than 4 million yuan. It's a pity that my mother is no longer here. In addition to seeking justice for our mother so that the stall owner and his wife should be punished for their actions, we also want to seek an explanation for our father.
