Genres:Urban Romance Last update:25/03/23 20:55:48
        Feng Sibin looked at his daughter upon hearing the words, his heart bleeding. He was willing to sacrifice his siblings for himself, but as a father, he was only a tool she used. It was truly disappointing. I thought that since they had lost their mother at a young age, I would work tirelessly to earn money every day and night to meet their material needs so that they could stand up proudly in front of others. However, I never expected that spoiling them would make them selfish and greedy. In the face of interests, they could even abandon family ties. How hateful it is! I never thought that the evil seeds I sowed would all come back to me. I have nothing left to cherish anymore. They are all rebellious and disrespectful; there is no more love in my life. He made a silent decision at this moment: for the sake of his descendants, he could only die for it. Reporting against the girl would inevitably involve his grandchildren and granddaughters; not reporting against her would be a betrayal of ancestors. After considering both sides, the only solution he could think of was to kill himself, which would bring joy to everyone else. Living was a mistake; it was wrong to let Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi get involved in this matter; it wouldn't be fair to them either—they sincerely wanted to help him, but if he chose to give up and let them return empty-handed after wasting their time on him, it would be unjust towards them indeed! Now that things have come to this point, all I can do is repay their kindness in my next life.

    Mo Wenjie naturally understood Feng Sibin's helplessness, and he also guessed what Feng Sibin was thinking. He even felt that he shouldn't interfere in this matter. If he hadn't meddled in it, Feng Sibin wouldn't have had the thought of committing suicide. However, if these animals who had no human nature were allowed to act as they pleased without any consequences, their children would likely follow their example in the future, which would be a tragedy beyond description.

    Mo Wenjie thought about this and said to Feng Sibin, "I completely understand how you must be feeling right now. You want to end your life and be done with it all. Have you ever considered that if this issue is not properly resolved, it will not only affect your Feng family but also involve many others, leading everyone to become selfish and greedy for personal gain."

    The 5,000-year-old civilization of my country, China, emphasizes loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, respect for the elderly and love for the young. Family harmony and mutual assistance are the standards of behavior that every Chinese person should adhere to.

    You made a mistake because of your indulgence, and you need to correct it promptly, rather than running away from reality. I've said all I can say. Whatever decision you make, I won't go against your will. Even if you choose to commit suicide, I will support you. Although I know that this is a sign of weakness and inability, I can't make a weak person strong. You yourself chose to run away from reality, so I must face it.

    Feng Sibin said: Thank you, Mo Wenjie. I have already made up my mind. I don't want to accuse them anymore. I already know that I am in the wrong. I have been too indulgent to my children, which has led to such an ending. I'm tired!

    Mo Wenjie saw that Feng Sibin was determined to end his life, wanting to bring an end to a lifetime of mistakes. He wanted to save a life, even if it wasn't successful, and make a last-ditch effort. "Elderly sir," he said, "after you leave, will they recognize their mistakes? Will the siblings unite? Then what is the meaning of your death? I urge you to try and give them a lesson so that they can turn back from their wrong path and reform. That's what you should do. I don't want to force you. Whatever decision you make, I will listen to you."

    Feng Sibin lowered his head in shame and said to Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi, "Once again, I express my gratitude for your help. In my next life, I will tie grass and carry rings to repay you. Please understand me!"

    Mo Wenjie nodded helplessly.

    Xie Jiaqi couldn't help but shed tears of heartache. "The world is big, and there are all kinds of birds. These children don't take care of their father, but their father doesn't even have a shred of humanity, pressuring me like this."

    Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi accompanied Feng Sibin to the houses of the other two daughters, Feng Sumei and Feng Sumei, but they did not mention anything about supporting their father. They only came to see their daughter for the last time.

    Feng Sibin told Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi to return to the county hotel to rest while he stayed in the place where he used to live, reminiscing about it. He walked around in the fields and on the streets, making friendly greetings with the villagers. His face was full of smiles, and no one would have guessed that this elderly man was so pitiful and tragic.

    The next morning, someone who woke up early for morning exercises discovered that Feng Sibin had hung himself in the small forest outside the village. The news spread quickly. Although the Feng family was good at keeping things hidden, everyone in the village knew about their disloyalty to their parents. After all, it was said that "don't beat a person in the face and don't reveal a person's shortcomings." No one said anything to them when they were in front of them, but behind their backs, they all said that it was their children who drove the elderly man to hang himself.

    Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi came to the small forest outside the village and saw that Feng Sibin's body was already cold and lifeless. Although Mo Wenjie knew the outcome would be like this, seeing it in person still made him find it hard to accept.

    Feng Zhongkai and Feng Xiaokai were informed by others that their father had hanged himself in the small forest outside the village. They quickly rushed to retrieve his body!

    The two brothers arrived at the small forest. The kind-hearted villagers had already brought Feng Sibin down from the tree. The two brothers showed no signs of sadness but immediately notified the three Feng sisters instead. The villagers saw this and were all filled with rage, but they could only watch as these two pigs and dogs put on their show.

    About an hour later, the three Feng sisters arrived at the scene.

    Feng Zhongkai said: "Our father has passed away. Now let's discuss what to do about his posthumous affairs."

    They looked at each other, none of them saying a word.

    Feng Zhongkai continued, "Since none of you are saying anything, let me put forward my opinion. As the old saying goes, it's inauspicious to bring a deceased person into the home. I suggest that we send him directly to our ancestral gravesite and bury him three days later. What do you think?"

    The others didn't have any objections, so the five siblings decided on this. However, problems arose after making the decision. How to transport the elderly from here to the ancestral gravesite? Clothes could be purchased, but at least a coffin would be required. Moreover, it was necessary to hire some people for help. What should be done about these expenses?

    Feng Zhongkai said, "The total cost is about 10,000 yuan. We five siblings will each contribute 2,000 yuan. Afterward, we'll make adjustments—more if there's an excess and less if it's short."

    However, the three Feng sisters disagreed. "Married women are like water that has been poured out," they said. "Your brothers inherited the family property, so they should contribute more money. We three sisters will each give 1,000 yuan. The rest should be split evenly between the two brothers."

    Feng Zhongkai was so angry that his blood boiled. "Our father also raised you, so why shouldn't you contribute the same amount of money? Do you still have a conscience? Aren't you afraid of others gossiping about you and pointing their fingers at your backs?"

    The three Feng sisters replied with justification, "Our father spent so much money building houses and paying for our marriages. We only have a set of dowry to show for it. Why should we have to split the cost equally with you?"

    Feng Xiaokai was dissatisfied. "I'm the youngest in the family, but when our father was still healthy, he took care of things for us. When it came to my marriage, he had already lost his ability. I earned some of the money myself through hard work. Why should I split the cost equally with you?"

    The five siblings were arguing about it and couldn't make a decision.

    The villagers watching were all gritting their teeth, thinking of them as a pack of beasts. No one felt ashamed, nor did anyone feel sorrow. Instead, they were weighing the benefits and losses. It was truly a waste for Feng Sibin, who had been both father and mother to them, working hard to raise them from children to adults, getting them married and having children, yet now they were still thinking only about their own gains and losses.

    Mo Wenjie couldn't take it anymore. He asked the villagers how much it would cost to deal with Feng Sibin's posthumous affairs.

    The villagers recommended several respected elderly people.

    The elders discussed it and estimated that the funeral expenses for Feng Sibin would be around 30,000 yuan.

    Mo Wenjie said, "I appreciate everyone's help. Since I am fated to be with Feng Sibin, I will follow the local customs for his posthumous affairs. As for the expenses, I will handle them. Please discuss with them and see what plan they have for their siblings."

    The elders, who were highly respected, went to discuss with the Feng siblings about the arrangements for their father's posthumous affairs. Their suggestion was to keep things simple, removing any unnecessary elements. This made it difficult for the siblings, as they didn't know how to proceed. What should they do?

    Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi were listening to this with growing anger. At that moment, Mo Wenjie's phone suddenly rang. He took out his phone to see it was Guan Yu ting calling and answered the call.

    Guan Yu ting: "Wenjie, where are you?"

    Mo Wenjie: "I'm in Xincheng. What's your matter?"

    Guan Yu ting: "I was on my way back from a business trip and passed by Xincheng. I just called to see if you were in Xincheng. I want to see you."

    Mo Wenjie: "Wait for me in Xincheng. I have some things to arrange here. Once I take care of everything, I'll come back to Xincheng. We can talk then."

    Guan Yu ting: "I want to see you right away. Send me the location. I'll head over right away. Many people haven't seen you for a long time, and they just want to see you as soon as possible."

    Mo Wenjie wasn't sure when things would be settled, and he couldn't give Guan Yu ting an exact time. So, he had to send her his location.

    Xie Jiaqi heard that Guan Yu ting was coming, and she was very happy inside. The five siblings were too heartless like that, and it was indeed difficult to let them go without a fight. Guan Yu ting was a popular singer, with millions of fans. If she exposed them in the fan group, these "beasts in clothes" would definitely receive the punishment they deserved.

    The Feng siblings were still arguing and their faces turned red with anger. They wouldn't budge on the money issue and argued every point they could. It was getting difficult for everyone to say anything.

    Guan Yu ting arrived here and saw Mo Wenjie and Xie Jiaqi. She then said, "Wenjie, what are you two running here for?"

    Mo Wenjie recounted the entire situation to Guan Yu ting.

    Guan Yu ting was so angry that her blood boiled upon hearing this. "These beasts without humanity are not fit to be human," she exclaimed. "What an amazing world full of oddities!"

    Xie Jiaqi said, "Sister Yu ting, you don't know, I witnessed the entire process with my own eyes. I was almost driven to despair. I don't even know what words to use to describe such people."

    Guan Yu ting didn't waste any time. She opened her phone for a live stream on the spot.

    Now it was a feast for the eyes. In just a few minutes, the number of people in the live stream had surpassed one hundred million. Fans were all enraged and demanded that relevant authorities investigate. People like these should not be living on this earth.

    Guan Yu ting ended the live stream.

    Mo Wenjie took out 50,000 yuan and handed it to the people in charge, then left with Guan Yu ting and Xie Jiaqi.

    After an hour and a half, when Mo Wenjie and the others had left, the Feng siblings received a series of phone calls, all of which were to sever ties. Their children were too embarrassed to go to work or school. They announced online that they had severed ties with them.

    The five siblings regretted it too late at this point!
