Chapter 707: 190: Shocking Change_3
“Brother!” Suddenly, Shangguan Furong burst into tears, “It’s all my fault, I didn’t listen to mom. I let the wolves into our house by getting Zhao Shen involved with that bitch Lin Fang!”
It really was Lin Fang!
The old lady Shangguan’s face tightened!
“Zhao Shen! You bastard!” Shangguan Dehui punched Zhao Shen directly. Zhao Shen’s head swerved, fell to the ground. Shangguan Dehui didn’t stop there, he grabbed Zhao Shen by the collar, pinned him against the wall, and continued to beat him.
Zhao Shen was no match for the robust Shangguan Dehui, in an instant his face swelled and his vision blurred with stars.
Old Lady Zhao panicked, “Stop! Stop! Spare him, Uncle! If you keep going, you might kill him!”
Shangguan Dehui pushed Old Lady Zhao away, “His life matters, but my sister’s doesn’t? If anything happens to my sister today, I’ll make him pay with his life!”
Old Lady Zhao began crying in a panic, looking from Shangguan Furong to Zhao Shen. Finally, she clutched at the sleeve of the Old Lady Shangguan, “Sister, sister, please tell uncle to stop!”
“An eye for an eye, you’re worried about your son, but what about my daughter? Who’s concerned about her?” Old Lady Shangguan looked at Shangguan Furong with teary eyes, “Furong, come down, please, don’t do anything foolish. How will I live if something happens to you?”
“Mum, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I really can’t go on living…”
Once, everyone knew Shangguan Furong had married into a good household, she was held in the highest regard.
Now, she was just a joke.
She couldn’t bear the judgemental stares of others.
She couldn’t bear the sudden betrayal of Zhao Shen.
She couldn’t stand Lin Fang taking over her place!
Death seemed to be the only way out.
She would be free with death.
At this moment, Ni Yang entered the scene, “Aunt, no obstacle in life is insurmountable. Please, come down. Don’t make Grandma worry, look, isn’t my dad taking revenge for you right now?”
“Yangyang, you don’t understand.” Shangguan Furong shook her head.
Ni Yang pressed on, “Auntie, do you think death is freeing? It’s not, death is merely the beginning of pain! From what I’ve heard from some elders, people who commit suicide bear enormous sins. Not only will they not be reincarnated, but their souls will also replay their suicide, enduring the pain time and again, indefinitely!”
When a person is teetering on the edge of death, they may wonder if there is a heaven or hell in this world.
Ni Yang’s absurd words roused Shangguan Furong’s attention.
Ni Yang carefully observed Shangguan Furong’s expression while saying, “Aunt, Zijun and Ziqing are just children, unaware of the world. Can you bear to see them endure such pain?”
Shangguan Furong replied, “It’s me they will die with. If God must punish someone, let him punish me. The children have nothing to do with this!”
Ni Yang continued, “But you are their mother, your wish represents theirs as well. God won’t spare them just because they are children.”
Shangguan Furong fell silent for a moment, holding the children closer to her.
She was starting to waver.
At that moment, Ni Yang spoke again, “Aunt, don’t you want to get revenge?”
“Revenge?” Shangguan Furong looked at Ni Yang, “Revenge for what?”
Ni Yang said, “Think about who did this to you?”
“It was Lin Fang! That bitch Lin Fang!” Shangguan Furong yelled.
“So, you must keep living. Only by living can you take revenge!” Ni Yang continued, “Death is like a flickering lamp, extinguished in an instant. In the beginning, the Zhao family may feel guilty, but as time passes, they will forget you. Then Zhao Shen will marry Lin Fang. As for the children, they are young, they can have more. At that point, who will remember you? Who will remember Zijun or Ziqing?”
Ni Yang’s words penetrated to the core, each syllable a tearful plea. The color drained from Shangguan Furong’s face.
Seeing her wavering, Ni Yang seized the opportunity, continuing,
“Aunt, while you’re here, crying your heart out, planning to jump with Zijun and Ziqing, Lin Fang might be at home feasting and celebrating! Why should we let ourselves suffer and make it easier for others?”
“Yangyang, is what you’re saying true?” Shangguan Furong asked.
