The family was awakened by a scream the next day. Yanling and her uncle hurriedly got up and ran to the source of the sound.
My cousin Jiang Han stood in the bathroom, devastated, pointing at the clothes in the laundry basket and asking her father, "Why didn't you wash them last night?"
Upon hearing his daughter's words, Uncle Jiang Wei immediately frowned and said, "Why should I wash your clothes? How old are you? Wash your own clothes!"
"But Mom always washed me before!" Jiang Han insisted.
"Your mother isn't feeling well, so you'll have to wash yourself from now on!"
After saying this, Jiang Wei walked towards the kitchen. Thinking that his wife was injured and lying in bed, she probably hadn't gotten up to make breakfast. He sighed and went back to the bedroom to wash up.
My aunt chuckled to herself in bed. Everyone in the family was a man, and she was the only old woman there.
Since Jiang Wei likes to be a good guy, I'll grant him that wish and give him a chance to properly serve this giant baby Yan Ling.
Yanling and Jiang Han also got ready to leave, but when they saw the empty dining table, they both frowned.
Jiang Han was worried about her mother's injury, while Yan Ling felt that it was really inconvenient for her aunt to be injured.
Jiang Wei went out to buy breakfast for his wife, and he also ate a few bites before leaving for work.
Jiang Xin's situation improved a lot after she left Yan Ling. Because of the gossip, she got closer to her colleagues and gradually integrated into the company's small group.
At lunchtime that day, Jiang Xin had just reached the first floor when she heard a commotion. She looked up and saw that the middle-aged woman in the middle of the crowd was none other than Wang Jing's mother.
At this moment, the shouting and cursing in the company's lobby on the first floor were deafening, making it resemble a vegetable market.
Beside Wang Jing's mother was a middle-aged man of similar age and another man who looked to be around 30 years old. Judging from the man's slow reaction, this should be Wang Jing's brother with cerebral palsy.
The hall was filled with onlookers. Wang Jing's mother screamed, "You have to compensate me for my daughter! My perfectly healthy daughter worked at your company, and then she committed suicide when she got home. It must have been too much pressure from your company that made her unable to live!"
"What? Wang Jing committed suicide?!" The crowd erupted in uproar.
Everyone in the company knew about Wang Jing's situation; they were all aware of the exploitation and oppression her adoptive mother had inflicted on her. But no one expected that Wang Jing would commit suicide.
Whispers and murmurs could be heard in the lobby, and several employees called the police.
Wang Jing's mother, holding her mentally challenged son, wiped away her tears: "Your company must give us an explanation today! Otherwise, our whole family will die here!"
Seeing that the situation had escalated, the company's vice president also appeared. Looking at the farce unfolding before him, he said with displeasure, "Did Wang Jing commit suicide at the company? What are you doing here?"
"I don't care, she was your company's employee, you have to take responsibility if she dies! How are we supposed to survive without her!"
Wang Jing's mother started wailing at the top of her lungs.
Just as the vice president was about to say something, the police arrived.
After learning the reason, one of the police officers leaned down and whispered a few words in his colleague's ear. Then, with a complicated expression, the police officer took Wang Jing and her family away.
Jiang Xin returned home in a daze, unable to believe that Wang Jing had committed suicide.
Jiang Xin opened Douyin (TikTok) and saw that it was full of reports about Wang Jing's suicide. She perked up and read through them one by one.
The report detailed Wang Jing's experiences from childhood to adulthood, depicting her tragic life in just a few hundred words.
The text continues, stating that Wang Jing, unable to bear her adoptive mother's endless exploitation, committed suicide by cutting her wrists on the roadside in the middle of the night the day before yesterday.
The video showed Wang Jing's suicide note, in which she wrote, "I am very sorry for choosing this path, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused to everyone."
At first, she thought of many ways to end her life, but she was worried that her adoptive mother would use her death to extort money. So, she could only squat by the roadside in the middle of the night and cut her wrists, so that her adoptive mother could not cause trouble for others.
Netizens left numerous comments below.
This woman is so kind; she thought so much before committing suicide.
Yes, even suicide is something they don't want to cause trouble for others.
How could there be such a vicious foster mother! Look at what she's driven my sister to!
[Oh, this young lady is so kind. She was worried that if she jumped off the building at her company, her adoptive mother would sue the company. If she cut her wrists at home, her adoptive mother would sue the landlord. So she simply chose a main road, so her adoptive mother couldn't sue anyone else.]
I'm so upset, how could such a wonderful girl have such a tragic decision?
Go watch the other videos; her adoptive mother is a monster!
Jiang Xin, her eyes blurry with tears, scrolled through the comments. Everyone was showing goodwill towards Wang Jing and cursing her adoptive mother.
But what's the use? Wang Jing is dead, while her adoptive mother is still alive and well, plotting to use her death to seek compensation.
