"Baobao’s medical skills are highly esteemed, with numerous examples big and small, yet you are stubborn, drilling into a dead end, convinced that you cannot heal yourself. At the slightest rustle of leaves, you start having irrational thoughts, believing that you are a burden to this family."
"But within a family, there is no such thing as being a burden! I don’t ask you to be half as open-minded as Shujun, even just a thousandth, a ten-thousandth would do. If you look ahead, you will see opportunities before you, paths under your feet. If you don’t walk yourself, do you expect us to push you, protect you, or must we whip you for you to start moving?"
Liang Zhichen exploded today, many words had long been suppressed in his heart.
"Think about it yourself. If you still want to die, no one will stop you!"
Liang Zhichen looked toward his younger brother, Yixuan.
"What are you thinking about now?"
"You must be thinking, ’It’s all my fault, all of it. If only I hadn’t caused Baobao to run away from home... Shujun wouldn’t be lying underground now.’"
"But no fortune would be enough to buy regret medicine. If only we’d known... When people encounter something, they always think about what they should’ve done initially, never considering the future."
"If we follow your thinking, shouldn’t we have stopped everything from the start? Perhaps we shouldn’t have been born, or maybe we should have been drowned, smashed, or starved to death right after birth. Would that have been better? After all, none of this would have happened!!"
"You are all right, completely right! You each have your thoughts, your persistence, your stubbornness, and so do I!"
"In the past, I thought about how to live a more stable life. I didn’t ask for great wealth or luxury, just for the family to be together. Even without silver, even in poverty, as long as we could avoid major troubles, I thought our lives would be good!"
"Over the years, I’ve been careful; I feared making a wrong step. People say I leave nothing to chance, but no matter how much I calculated, I could never predict our family’s fate!"
"For you all, even if it meant walking through fire and swords, I wouldn’t hesitate! As your elder brother, an elder brother like a father, you are all my responsibility!"
"You have your own troubles, and so do I!"
"Now, Shujun is dead. What about you? Do you no longer wish to live either? Do you all want to die? If that’s really the case, it’s better you die at my hands than at someone else’s!"
"Why has everyone gone silent?"
"Yue Ning, don’t you have a mouthful of grand principles?"
"Yixuan, don’t you have many troubles? Speak up. Let’s express whatever we want today, solve whatever problems we have together! Say whatever you want to say, all at once!"
"Haoming, Shu Yu, and all of you! Do you want to kill someone or to commit suicide? Give me a clear answer. It’s better to let me turn a blind eye and not have to bother collecting your bodies!!"
After he finished speaking, Liang Zhichen’s breathing was unsteady, and his younger brothers, one by one, all lowered their heads.
the people from the Dong family rushed over, followed by Yun Ge and Zhang Yu. Surprisingly, Yun Ge’s black hair also showed white, just like Liang Zhichen’s.
In the desolate wilderness, beside numerous graves, nothing could be heard but the sound of rain.
A gust of wind swept through, and Yun Ge’s white silk was carried away by the wind. One of her eye sockets was sunken due to the absence of an eyeball, and with her drenched body, she looked like a pale ghost shadow.
Yet Yun Ge furrowed her brows. "No, that’s not right. They shouldn’t be dead, they should be alive..."
