"What?!"
Jing Yunping stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then pointed to himself and stammered:
"You want me to go to the mine?"
Everyone understands that the mines in City E are not places for humans to live.
But now Jingzhong is actually sending him to the mine?
"I can't go to the mine! That place is so dangerous, and my ability level is so low, how can you expect me to go to the mine!"
Jing Shige, his face grim, gnawed on his dry bread and sneered, "You have to go whether you want to or not."
"I'm not going! Why should I go!" Jing Yunping retorted loudly. "Besides, Wang Ping said it's you who's going, what does it have to do with me!"
The atmosphere became tense once again.
The Jing family home was small, but the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.
Ishige chewed on his bread, glanced at him sideways, and spoke directly with an attitude that left him no room for refusal:
"What I say goes. You don't want to go? Is that even possible? I've always been the one in charge of this family. When did it become your place to speak?"
Jing Yunping was speechless, unable to utter a single word for a long time, but his face looked extremely pale.
“I’ve already been down in the mine. Now that Jing Zhenxu is gone, do you want me to go down in the mine again? As for the superpower you mentioned, my superpower is a level lower than yours, so naturally you should go.”
Hearing this, Jing Yunping took a deep breath, and his anger flared up.
The mine is a really scary place. Well Heavy's superpower is so weak, yet he still managed to survive. Part of it is due to luck.
Jing Yunping didn't think he was that lucky, especially since this trip to the mine would last a whole month!
No one can guarantee that they can survive in a mine for a month.
Xu Li's most precious child was her son, and she immediately became nervous when she heard Jing Zhong say that!
"What are you saying! Honey, how could you let Yunping go to the mine! And for a whole month! You're so heartless!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhong snorted coldly, "What's wrong? Am I wrong? What's wrong with sending Jing Yunping there? He's been a parasite for so many years, it's time for him to stand up for himself."
Xu Li could tell that Jing Zhong was probably really determined to send Jing Yunping down into the mine, and she felt a sudden sense of despair.
"Husband, if you do that again..."
Jingzhong didn't give Xu Li a chance to speak at all; he slammed his hand on the table and made his decision:
"Do as I say. Jing Yunping must go down into the mine. No amount of pleading from any of you will work. I have made up my mind."
Jing Yunping felt his blood rush to his head. He had been feeling comfortable for so long, and the thought of suddenly having to go to such a dangerous place naturally terrified him.
But he was also afraid of Jing Zhong's imposing presence. His gaze swept around the room before finally landing on Jing Xuan, and his eyes immediately lit up!
"I think Jingxuan would be good too!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Xuan suddenly looked up, staring at Jing Yunping with a look of horror, as if she couldn't understand why such words would come out of his mouth!
"Brother, what are you talking about?! You actually want me to go?! My superpower is the worst in the whole family. I definitely won't survive if I go into the mine!"
Jing Xuan really didn't expect that while she was watching the show, Jing Yunping would push her into the fire.
No matter what you say, I won't go down into the mine!
"That's not up to you," Jing Yunping said, no longer caring about sibling affection at this moment.
“Your superpower is the worst, and you’re a woman, so you can’t carry on the Jing family line. But I’m different. I’m a man, and I can keep the Jing family line alive.”
After saying this, Jing Yunping seemed to have found a way to survive. He immediately knelt down in front of Jing Zhong and shouted:
"Dad! I am the root of our Jing family! For the sake of our Jing family bloodline, I cannot die in the mine!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Zhong felt that Jing Yunping's words made some sense, and after careful consideration, he nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you're right. For the sake of the Jing family's bloodline, Jing Xuan, you should go."
"Me! I'm afraid of dying too! I don't want to go!"
Jingxuan shook her head frantically, her neck covered in sweat. She swallowed hard, the terror in her eyes almost tangible.
"Dad! Think about it again. Even though I'm a girl, we're still family. We've lived together for so long. I can still be your bargaining chip! Unlike Jing Yunping, who can only be a parasite!"
Xu Li still sided with Jing Yunping; she couldn't bear to see her son die, so she chimed in from the side:
“Xuanxuan, you should listen to me more. There’s a reason why you’re being asked to go. I know you’re feeling wronged, but for the sake of the Jing family, this is something you should sacrifice.”
"I don't want to!"
Jing Xuan bit her lower lip tightly, then, as if remembering something, pointed directly at Xu Li and said:
“If you were truly a mother, I think you should go! My brother and I are both useful, but what about you? To the Jing family, you are the most useless thing!”
Jingxuan actually referred to her mother as "thing".
This broke Xu Li's heart. "I'm your mother! How could you say that to me?!"
"What's wrong with me? Besides, Mom, you always side with my brother. I probably mean nothing to you. If you ask me, Mom, you'd be better off going to your death!"
As Xu Li's precious darling, Jing Yunping, seeing that the fire was gradually no longer affecting him, nodded repeatedly, stabbing Xu Li in the heart with a knife:
"I also think it's better for you to go, Mom. The rest of us should just skip it."
The more she heard these words, the more heartbroken she became. She gritted her teeth, swallowed the bitterness in her heart, and turned her attention back to Jing Zhong.
“Honey, Wang Ping has already specifically asked you to go to the mine. It’s not right for you to push all these things onto us. Besides, you don’t want the children to be without a mother, right?”
None of these people wanted to go, and all of them wanted to live; they really didn't want to die.
When Jing Zhong heard that Xu Li had actually set her sights on him, he immediately became furious. He no longer had any feelings for Xu Li as a husband and wife.
"The children are right, the person who deserves to die the most right now is you! You shameless woman, how dare you cheat on me and even want to be Wang Ping's mistress, you are the one who deserves to die the most!"
The three of them were determined to kill Xu Li, as long as the fire didn't spread to them.
That's the situation now; they're all blaming Xu Li and telling her to go and die right now.
Xu Li's heart sank completely; she felt as if she didn't recognize the three people in front of her.
One is her husband.
One of them is her son.
One is her daughter.
These three people were Xu Li's closest people in the world, but now they're fighting like dogs.
To avoid going to one's own death, one would rather push away even the closest people to one's life.
At that moment, Xu Li felt a chill run through her body and trembled all over!
