Ten years of case, ten years of love

Jack runs a small hotel in the small town of Nicu. Although the town is located on the edge of the desert and the environment is harsh, it is a good place for sightseeing and tourism. It attracts a large number of tourists every year, so the business of the small shop is not so deserted.

　　At dusk that day, the sandstorm that had raged for several days finally stopped. When Jack was cleaning the yard, a horn suddenly sounded outside the door of the shop, and Jack hurriedly greeted him. I saw a thin old woman with white hair and a white-skinned man in his forties getting out of the car.

　　Jack was about to say a few words to the guests when suddenly, the smile on his face froze. It turned out that the old woman was blind, and a small iron chain was tightly attached to the man's wrist. She said to herself sadly: "Charlie, don't blame mom for being cruel, the debt you owe always has to be repaid..."

　　The man carefully supported her and comforted her over and over again: "Mom, don't worry, I won't run away again..."

　　What kind of mother and son are these? Jack stared blankly for a while before he recovered to make the best room for guests.

　　In the evening, Jack personally delivered dinner to the old woman's room. When he went downstairs, Jack saw the man named Charlie at the counter drinking, and couldn't help but chat with him curiously: "Mr. Charlie, why did your mother treat you like this? How can a mother treat her child like this?"

　　Charlie didn't look like a talkative person, he just smiled lightly and didn't answer. Jack sighed and said, "I've been running a hotel for many years and have read countless people. I'm sure you're a very kind person. And, judging from your taste in dress, you're not short of money, right?"

　　Charlie hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Yes, I own my own company and invest in the financial industry. I never worry about money..."

　　"But why does your mother keep nagging'The debt you owe is always repaid '?" Jack pointed to the little chain on his wrist and said, "Why did she treat you like this?"

　　Hearing this, Charlie's face flushed suddenly, and he hesitated several times.

　　Jack poured a drink for Charlie and sighed long. "You must have something to hide, and I won't ask more. Just where are you going tomorrow? Do you need my help?"

　　Charlie looked at the enthusiastic boss Jack, and was a little moved. He said, "I want to inquire about the way to Gissidu. I heard that it is very remote, otherwise, I would not have gone in the wrong direction today and took this old woman to stay here."

　　"What... what, this old woman?" Jack's heart seemed to be slammed by something. He couldn't help staring at Charlie and asked in surprise, "Isn't she your mother?"

　　Charlie had a heavy expression on his face and said, "Yes, she's not my mother, I'm not related to her." Finally, he explained the ins and outs of the matter.

　　It turned out that a few days ago, Charlie dropped off a friend at the door of the company. When the friend left, he accidentally called his name. It happened to be heard by an old woman on the side of the road with a cane. She was shocked by electric shock and shouted at him excitedly. Get up: "Charlie! Charlie! Is it really you?" Before he could answer, the old woman threw down her cane and jumped up, grabbed him tightly, and said with grief and indignation, "You bastard, I finally found you today. Come back with me..."

　　Charlie shouted inexplicably: "Old lady, let me go, you got the wrong person! I don't know you!"

　　Unexpectedly, the old woman shouted stubbornly: "No! You must be my son. Although I am blind, can't I recognize my son's voice?"

　　Charlie was angry, but he was stunned when he saw that the pale old woman in front of him turned out to be blind. The old woman suddenly passed out due to her excessive excitement, but a thin hand still held on to the corner of his clothes.

　　Charlie paused, then said: "I hurriedly took her to the hospital. When the old man woke up, one hand was still holding me tightly. Through her description, I learned that the old man had a son also named Charlie, ten years ago. In the name of doing business, she cheated many people of their money and disappeared. The creditors were going to go to the police station to report the case together. When she found out, she knelt down in tears and begged everyone: 'I will find this bastard tomorrow, even if he hides in the sky., I will get him back and let him pay everyone back a lot of money!'"

Charlie sighed and continued: "In order to find his hiding son, for ten years, the old man has been looking for him city by city, living the life of a wanderer, I don't know how much suffering he has endured, and his eyes are blind. I also have a mother. People, how can I bear to ignore this?" At this point, Charlie burst into tears.

　　Jack was shocked by this story, and after a long time, he murmured: "So... for this poor mother, you admit that you are her son and go back with her to pay the debt?"

　　"Boss Jack, I'm not doing this out of pity." Charlie said sternly, "You know what? This mother is as tall as Mount Kilimanjaro in my heart! Ten years of case, ten years of love Ah! She made me understand what a mother's love is like a mountain, what is faith and perseverance. Just for the children, for the simplest truth of life - debts owed are always repaid..."

　　Hearing this, Jack was silent, and after a while he said, "I read that right, Mr. Charlie, you are indeed a very kind person." After thinking for a while, he suggested, "It's sandstorm season right now. There is still a long way to go to Guishitu. Otherwise, you will go back tomorrow morning and leave this old woman behind, and I will take good care of her."

　　Charlie shook his head, stood up and said, "No, I want to send the old man back in person to find out about her son's situation. I hope to find it as soon as possible, because if you can't find it for a day, the old man's heart will not be at peace for a day."

　　Jack was stunned for a while, with a strange expression on his face and said, "It's been ten years, can you still find it?"

I think it will be possible. The human heart is not a desert where green grass cannot grow, nor is it a cold stone. "Charlie smiled, his eyes full of confidence, and said," If he knew that his mother was carrying this moral debt for him, wandering in this world for ten years, he would definitely regret his actions! "

　　"Not bad!" Jack suddenly choked up and whispered, "If that bastard Charlie knew, he would definitely be ashamed, and he would definitely go back and surrender himself."

　　The next morning, Charlie continued on the road with "Mother", and Jack got up early. He didn't dissuade him any more, just drew a cross on his chest reverently and watched the shadow of the car gradually go away.

　　On the third day, news came from the local police station that the real Charlie, who had been on the run for ten years, took a sum of money and voluntarily surrendered himself! It turned out that he was Jack, the innkeeper of Nicosia!
