Xiao Ruxue, recalling past events, cried as she spoke:

"Anzi, I promise you this is the last time. I will never get involved in my brother's affairs again."

Let's go back to the countryside, farm a few acres of land, and then take good care of your parents. We'll never come to the city again.

Please, please save my brother! Don't let him go to jail! He's so young, still a child. Don't ruin his future!

Every time something went wrong, her husband would plead with her to smooth things over. Xiao Ruxue naturally thought it would be the same this time; all she had to do was cry for a while.

"Brother-in-law, this is the last time. I'll never do anything wrong again. I'll work hard for you from now on, and I'll do anything you ask." The blood on Xiao Deshun's face had stopped flowing. He was so sleepy, he wanted to sleep so badly, but he couldn't.

Wang An looked at the siblings in front of him and said, "You two are responsible for what you've done. I won't clean up your messes anymore."

I am utterly disappointed in you. You have never been able to do it, and this time is no different. After saying that, he turned and went back into the house without looking at the siblings again.

Xiao Ruxue wanted to abandon her younger brother and pursue her own man.

"Sister, you can't abandon me!" Xiao Deshun gripped her hand even tighter than before.

"I'm begging your brother-in-law, if he helps, this matter can be settled," Xiao Ruxue said to her brother, as if she were speaking to herself. She had never seen her husband look so disappointed, and she couldn't help but feel afraid.

"It's no use begging him, please help me! I don't want to go to jail, please take the blame for me!" Xiao Deshun said in a moment of inspiration, "You are a first-time offender and won't get many years, at most one or two years. If I go in, I won't be out for three to five years."

"Can you bear to see me go to jail? I'm the only son of the Xiao family. If anything happens to me, our family line will end."

Xiao Ruxue's face was as pale as paper. She had never imagined that her own younger brother would say such a thing.

"I...you actually want a woman like me to go to jail."

"Are you even human? Are you even my brother? I'm over 30 years old. What will happen to me when I get out of jail? Have you ever thought about me? I pleaded for you so much just now, did you even consider me your sister?"

"Sister! You're my own sister. Mom died young, so you're my mother. You can't just stand by and watch her die! Aren't you the one who loves me the most? You should take the blame for me; that's how you show love to me." Xiao Deshun spouted his twisted logic. In his view, what he said was right; it was only natural for his own sister to take the blame for him.

Xiao Ruxue let go of her hand: "I don't have a younger brother like you. You're just a child who never grows up. Your brother-in-law is right, you're heartless."

Xiao Deshun collapsed to the ground with a thud: "Ouch! Sister, why did you let go?"

“Xiao Deshun, I am no longer your sister. Your life or death has nothing to do with me. You should take responsibility for your mistakes, and I will never take the blame for you.”

Even if you go to jail, I won't visit you again. From now on, we'll go our separate ways and never know each other again. After saying that, he turned and walked into the house, his back view very desolate.

The younger brother she raised from childhood has turned into a ravenous wolf. What has she been doing all these years?

"Sister! I was wrong, you can't abandon me!" Xiao Deshun lay sprawled on the ground, only able to crawl forward, staring at the closed door. He felt like a stray dog, abandoned and homeless, with nowhere left to go.
