When Wei Mingyuan returned home, his mother was lying in bed. She hadn't drunk any water in a long time, and she didn't even have the strength to drink water when Wei Mingyuan wasn't home.

"Mingyuan, my son...you're finally back," Mother Wei called out weakly.

Wei Mingyuan poured her a glass of water. Wei's mother sat up. Her face was dark, her lips were pale, and she was in great pain. She was indeed waiting to die.

She was already past her prime. The doctor told her to go home and prepare for her funeral, but Wei's mother didn't want to go back to her hometown. She felt that people would laugh at her if she went back. She had lived her whole life and thought she would have a happy old age, but who knew she would end up like this.

Mother Wei was unwilling to give up and wanted to stay in Pengcheng for treatment. She felt that Pengcheng was a big city and the medicine was better than in her hometown. She believed that staying here would give her a chance to survive.

Wei Mingyuan could only spend money to buy her some traditional Chinese medicine and give her some painkillers to alleviate her pain.

Mother Wei hugged Xiaobao tightly, feeling unwilling to accept it. "Xiaobao, my grandson, now that Grandma is gone, no one will love you anymore. What will you do for the rest of your life?"

Wei Mingyuan found it annoying. "Alright, Mom, stop saying things like that. You're not dead yet."

“What difference does it make whether I’m alive or dead? I gave birth to two sons, thinking I could live a good life with you, but who knew you would be deceived by that little hussy Qiao Shanshan and resign from the team. If you hadn’t been so out of your mind, you would still be getting promoted and making money in the team, and I could have lived a good life with you for a few days instead of getting cancer! I got this cancer because of Qiao Shanshan!” Mother Wei said painfully, pounding her thigh.

Wei Mingyuan remained silent. His mother had supported his resignation back then.

But now Mother Wei is saying such things.

Wei Mingyuan cooked noodles for Xiaobao, who sat at the table without saying a word.

Mother Wei was even more distressed. Her eldest grandson, who was perfectly healthy, had become mentally unstable. If she died, who would take care of Xiao Bao? She had spent her whole life living for others, helping her younger son exploit her older son, and sending money back to her hometown to build a house.

The youngest son got married.

The house was clearly built by Wei's mother, but when the younger daughter-in-law heard that Wei's mother was going to die and that a coffin would have to be prepared when she returned home, she felt it was unlucky and refused to let Wei's mother go back.

Wei's mother is dying, yet she can't go home; this can be considered retribution!

“My son, after I die, send my ashes back to my grave, buy me a nice grave, and burn more offerings during festivals so that I can be a rich person in my next life. Then I can rest in peace.”

Wei Mingyuan was unhappy to hear this, but she had brought this upon herself. In order to save money for her youngest son, she refused to spend it on medical treatment, and as a result, her youngest son wouldn't even let her come home.

Even so, Mother Wei still favored her youngest son.

Wei Mingyuan could only say that she brought it upon herself. If a person's heart is biased, they will never be able to straighten it out in their entire life, and they will remain so until death.

Wei's mother then asked Qiao Shanshan, "Did she give you money when she wanted a divorce?"

Wei Mingyuan shook his head, "She hired someone to beat me up!"

"What? That slut always does such disgraceful things. I knew she was no good." Mother Wei grew angrier the more she thought about it. "She doesn't even want Xiaobao, which shows how heartless she is. You won't have a good ending if you stay with her. By the way, can you sue to get your money back? Can we hire one of those lawyers?"

Wei Mingyuan smiled and told her that he had burned all of Qiao Shanshan's belongings. Wei's mother stared wide-eyed, not knowing what to feel. After confirming that Wei Mingyuan had burned more than a million yuan, Wei's mother said, "Damn it, what a terrible thing!" and then closed her eyes and fainted!

After this fainting spell, Wei's mother's health deteriorated significantly.

They used to be able to hold on for a few months, but now it's probably even more difficult.

Wei Mingyuan never expected her to be so stubborn, to faint over such a small amount of money. However, with his mother fainting, she was one step closer to death. Following the customs of his hometown, Wei Mingyuan prepared her funeral clothes in advance, dressed her in them, and then stayed by her side every day.

Given Wei Mingyuan's mother's condition, she doesn't have many good days left. However, the landlord, having somehow heard the news, is afraid that she might die in the house and wants to refund the rent to Wei Mingyuan, telling him to get out.

Wei Mingyuan had nowhere to go and begged the landlord for a long time. The landlord knew he was pitiful, but if he died at home, the house would be hard to rent, so the landlord had no choice.

With nowhere else to go and no way out, Wei Mingyuan had no choice but to borrow money from his landlord for train tickets. He carried his mother on his back and prepared to take the train back to his hometown with his mother and child.

This mother of Wei's already short lifespan, how could she withstand such torment?

Wei's mother died very quickly. After Wei Mingyuan got into the car, she died on his back. Wei Mingyuan could only wipe away his tears and wrap his mother up, afraid that she would give away her body and frighten others.

Fortunately, Wei's mother had just died, so her body odor wasn't strong. In addition, the toilet on the train smelled bad, so no one noticed for a while. Wei Mingyuan finally managed to carry his mother home and, amidst his sister-in-law's livid face, held a funeral for his mother and gave her a proper burial.

Wei Mingyuan's younger brother always listened to his older brother, and Wei Mingyuan's sister-in-law also respected Wei Mingyuan. But all of that was in the past. Wei Mingyuan had fallen on hard times, his wife had swindled him out of all his money, and he had lost his leg. His sister-in-law was afraid that if he stayed at home, she would fight with them for the house!

After all, strictly speaking, this house was built with Wei Mingyuan's money!

Wei Mingyuan's sister-in-law was so unreasonable that Wei Mingyuan couldn't stand staying in that house any longer, so he had no choice but to pack his bags and leave.

Wei Mingyuan left Xiaobao at home. There was still some money in Wei's mother's savings account. Wei Mingyuan secretly withdrew the money and gave his sister-in-law five hundred yuan, asking her to take care of Xiaobao.

His sister-in-law readily agreed when she saw that Xiao Bao was being looked after by his grandfather and only needed to eat a few mouthfuls of rice from the house.

Wei Mingyuan then bought another train ticket and returned to Pengcheng.

He has nothing left now, and because he has nothing, he is not afraid. Every day in the future will be better than the present. There are opportunities everywhere in Shenzhen, and Wei Mingyuan wants to start over in Shenzhen.
