"Mom, everyone has their own choices. I can't stop you from dying. After you die, I will slit my throat and follow you."

After these words were spoken, Wan's mother was so angry that she couldn't speak for half the night. She raised her hand and slapped him hard, then left angrily.

Wan Xinyu covered the swollen right half of his face and choked back the tears that rolled down his eyes.

Salty and astringent.

When Mr. Wan came home from get off work and saw his wife crying in the house, he knew that she and his son had quarreled again.

He coaxed his wife here, then turned around to coax his son across the street.

Unexpectedly, before Wan's father could finish his words, he was driven out by Wan Xinyu.

"Dad, just forget about it. I won't marry those people."

Having been met with such a setback, Father Wan could only leave in disgrace.

The last bit of hope in Wan Xinyu's heart was extinguished. He had no hope left in this family, so he packed his bags and prepared to leave that night.

Before he even stepped out of the house, he was discovered by his family. Wan Xinyu was finally locked in the house and couldn't go anywhere.

Just like the last time, they didn't give him any water or food, hoping to starve him for a few days to dampen his spirit, but they were also worried that he would faint from hunger, so they would occasionally send him a steamed bun.

Three days later, Wan Xinyu still gritted his teeth and refused to give in.

Unable to think of a solution, Wan's mother found a bottle of rat poison, poured the contents into the sink, cleaned the bottle inside and out several times, and finally poured brown sugar water into it.

She just didn't believe that her son could be so cruel as to watch his mother die.

With everything prepared, Wan's mother came to Wan Xinyu's house holding a bottle of brown sugar water. Looking at her son who had obviously lost weight, her heart ached.

But! Her choice was not wrong!

She was doing this for his own good.

One day, he will understand his painstaking efforts.

Wan's mother said, "I'm asking you one last time. Are you really not going to listen to me and marry them?"

Wan Xinyu turned his back and said weakly, "Mom, I'm a human being, not a commodity to be bought and sold in a market. I have my own thoughts and my own choices. Just give up."

"In that case, I'd rather die."

Just then, Wan's father heard the quarrel and ran over in fear of something happening. When he saw his wife holding a bottle of rat poison in her hand, he was almost scared to death.

"Wife, calm down, let's talk it over."

"There's nothing much to say. Only when I die will he be happy and this family will be happy."

"What are you talking about? Without you, what kind of family is this?" Seeing that his wife was not getting the point, Father Wan turned to his son for help: "Son, please consider this as a plea from your father. Your mother is so upset that she wants to take medicine. Let's not get angry with her, okay?"

When Wan Xinyu heard his father's plea, he sat up from the bed. When his eyes met the bottle in his mother's hand, he smiled weakly.

"Dad, it's my son who is unfilial."

Father Wan was stunned. He stared at his son in front of him, as if he couldn't believe that the words just now came from the mouth of his well-behaved and kind son.

Wan's mother didn't expect her son to be so cruel, but the show had to go on. She opened the lid and drank up the brown sugar water in the rat poison bottle.

It happened so fast that Wan's father had no time to stop it. By the time he came to his senses, the bottle was empty.

Furious, Father Wan slapped Wan Xinyu and said, "From now on, I no longer have you as my son."

After saying that, he was about to carry Wan's mother to the hospital.

Wan Xinyu, despite his weak body, quickly stopped the two of them.

"Dad, just give up. My mom is determined to die. Even if you save her this time, she'll still go and commit suicide. So, why don't we let her die quickly?"

"Go away. I don't have an unfilial son like you."

"In that case, I'll go on the road with Mom."

As he spoke, Wan Xinyu took out a bottle of rat poison from his pocket and opened the lid. Just as he was putting it to his mouth, his mother in his father's arms suddenly woke up and reached out to knock the rat poison in Wan Xinyu's hand to the ground.

Father Wan looked at his wife who had come back to life, as if he understood everything, and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart.

"Mom, I knew you couldn't bear to die." Wan Xinyu, who had already known the outcome, looked calmly at his mother in front of him.

Wan's mother said, "You knew I was pretending a long time ago, so you came to scare me."

"I'm not trying to scare you. The rat poison in my hand is real."

Hearing this, the string in Wan's mother's heart snapped, but her years of strength prevented her from bowing her head, so she made the most wrong decision in her life.

He raised his hand and slapped Wan Xinyu hard.

The sound was clear and powerful, and the right half of Wan Xinyu's face swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, this slap completely severed the last trace of mother-son love in Wan Xinyu's heart.

Mother Wan left, leaving Father Wan and Wan Xinyu behind.

Father Wan felt extremely guilty when he thought about how he had slapped his son in the face in a fit of rage.

"Son, Dad was wrong. Dad apologizes to you. Please forgive me, okay?"

"Dad, there's no point in saying all this." After saying that, Wan Xinyu pushed his father out of the door and locked it from the inside.

He had promised the skinny girl that he would live well, but he was in so much pain and everyone was forcing him to compromise.

He doesn't want to.

If he died, would everything be over?

Tears streamed down his face, and Wan Xinyu huddled in the corner, feeling helpless, miserable, and hopeless...
