Sister Wang mustered her strength, but her eyesight was already failing. The figures of her four children were blurry, and she could only identify them by their voices. She felt her body growing weaker and weaker, and she even saw her husband waving at her.
"Mom, stop talking!"
The eldest son and youngest daughter both realized something was wrong and were startled, trying to stop Sister Wang from continuing to speak.
They can't bear the blame of angering their mothers to death; they'd be the subject of gossip and criticism.
Sister Wang sneered, "I'm going to say it. I've been holding it in for so many years and acting for so many years. Today I'm going to say it. Everyone envies my good fortune. My four children have decent jobs and are filial to me. Humph, you are indeed decent, but filial... hehe... I really haven't felt it."
She paused, her voice lower, "To save face for you and to bring honor to my own reputation, I pay for my own trips, buying this and that, and telling everyone that they were gifts from you and my daughter-in-law. The more others envy me, the more miserable I feel."
Her voice was already very weak. Sister Wang sighed deeply, "Don't argue, you don't need to pay a single penny for the medical expenses. And you don't need to come see me anymore. Our mother-son relationship ends here..."
"Mom, what are you saying? Stop talking!"
The eldest son was very dissatisfied, feeling that Sister Wang was just saying things out of anger. He then said in a gentle tone, "We are indeed busy with work and have not done enough in the past. We will come to see you more often in the future. We, as your children, will definitely pay for your medical expenses. Don't think about these things and just focus on getting better."
Because of his dissatisfaction with Sister Wang, the eldest son was not as observant as usual and did not notice that Sister Wang's face had turned bluish and her breathing had become even weaker.
"Old man...you've come to pick me up? I'll go with you..."
Suddenly, Sister Wang uttered a strange remark that startled her four children, who nearly jumped up. The eldest son and youngest daughter then realized something was wrong and rushed forward, only to find that Sister Wang was barely breathing and about to pass away.
"Call a doctor quickly, hurry!"
The eldest son shouted angrily as he performed emergency treatment. He was extremely anxious and regretted arguing with his younger siblings in the ward. Why couldn't he have been more patient?
If something really happened to his mother, he would definitely feel guilty, and most importantly, his reputation would be ruined.
It's all because his three younger siblings are disobedient and heartless. His father is gone, and as the eldest brother, he has to listen to him. But these three refuse to contribute money or effort, relying entirely on his family. They're deliberately trying to work him to death.
The eldest son grew increasingly enraged, yelling as he continued to try to save his mother, "Are you satisfied now? If Mom couldn't be saved, would you be able to sleep at night?"
"Big brother, stop scolding us! You're the eldest, you get the most benefits but contribute the least. You and sister-in-law are the ones who can't sleep!" the second daughter retorted shrilly, her voice filled with panic.
She hadn't realized that Sister Wang was really dying; she had just been scolding her!
The second daughter panicked and was at a loss, not knowing what to do. She couldn't stand her eldest son scolding her, so she naturally scolded back, and it looked like they were about to start arguing again.
"Stop making noise, Mom is almost dying, if you want to make noise, go outside!"
The younger daughter couldn't stand it anymore. Heart patients need a quiet environment the most. Now that Sister Wang is on her deathbed, these two are still arguing. They're really awful.
Ye Qingqing heard everything clearly outside and was speechless at the four siblings. She pushed open the door, grabbed her eldest son and youngest daughter, and pulled them apart.
