Chapter 258
"I long for her to have a good life and to have a child of her own."
“When her parents found out that I had been to prison, had no parents, and was six years older than Xiaohui, they strongly opposed our relationship and even threatened to kill themselves to force her to break up with me. I was very calm at the time and had no resentment at all, because I knew that I had nothing and I was not worthy of her.”
Before leaving, I told Xiaohui not to contact me again.
"But I had just returned to the city where I work when Xiaohui came to my rented room with her own things. She said that she would be like me from now on, with no family left."
"A girl would do this for me, brothers, friends, what would you do if it were you?!"
Ji Dong looked at the 260 million viewers in the live stream.
The comment section is very quiet now because Ji Dong's experiences are too tortuous. It's hard to imagine that someone who has gone through so many hardships has not been ruined.
But if that's the case, then why is Ji Dong now trying to kill himself?
Is it...
Fans in the live stream who were good at directing immediately sent questions in the chat.
Wang Dachui: [Damn, I'm numb. Dong-ge, don't say anything, I'll have one with you.]
Wang Xiaoer: [If this had happened to me, I'd probably be in a mental hospital by now. I can't imagine how desperate Dong Ge must have been back then.]
Dong-ge, I admire you so much. You may have wronged everyone else in this world, but you've done right by your mother!
Having overcome despair and met a girlfriend willing to sever ties with her family to marry you, why did you choose to end your life?
I bet Dong Ge's girlfriend, Xiao Hui, has changed her mind; otherwise, Dong Ge wouldn't be so desperate.
[Damn, this is unbearable. If that's really the case, then it's not hard to understand.]
……
Ji Dong also saw the comments from fans in the live stream. He wasn't angry; instead, he shook his head.
“Xiao Hui is not what you think she is; the problem lies with me.”
When Ji Dong thought of his wife, his eyes were filled with guilt and reluctance to part with his child.
"Xiaohui disregarded her father's objections and was willing to sever ties with her family to be with me. I agreed and swore to her that I would never let her down in this life. We set up some offerings in the rented room to worship my mother, lit candles, and bowed three times. That's how we got married in such a hasty manner."
"No, no bride price, no family witnesses, no wedding house, no wedding dress, and even the three gold pieces were only bought for her two years after the wedding, but she still refused to accept them, saying that she would save the money for her child's schooling. She said she didn't like wearing jewelry and found it troublesome."
Ji Dong smiled, "No woman dislikes gold and silver jewelry. I know she did it for me, for this family..."
"After we got married, my husband and I supported each other and worked hard. I even took on multiple part-time jobs. Finally, last year, we bought our own house in this second-tier city on installment. This is our home in this city."
"My son is almost four years old and will be able to start kindergarten in the second half of the year. We were very frugal and after paying off the mortgage, we still had some money left over. Everything seemed to be moving towards a better future."
Chen Xuan shook his head upon hearing this.
"Hahaha... Wonderful, the word 'wonderful' simply doesn't apply to me!"
Ji Dong suddenly shook his head with a bitter laugh, tears streaming down his face, his heart filled with guilt towards his wife and children.
"The day before yesterday, I had a company physical examination. When the report came out, I knew that I was ruined and my family was going to fall apart. When I was young, I often accompanied clients for drinks. Over the years, I have been smoking constantly because of making money. Working overtime and staying up late are commonplace. I have always believed that although my life has been tough, God has given me a good body."
As Ji Dong spoke, he took out a medical examination report.
"Late-stage liver cancer."
Ji Dong shook his head. "The doctor said that without intervention, he has at most three months left."
"When I heard the news, I felt like the sky had fallen. What would happen to Xiaohui if I died? What would happen to my son if I died? How would I pay the mortgage? I knew that if I died... this family would be gone..."
"Waaah, I don't want my son to grow up and be called a bastard by his classmates, a child born of a mother but without a father to teach him! I don't want that. I haven't even given Xiaohui a good life yet. She hasn't been home for years because of me. What will she do if I die? She's burdened with a mortgage and has a three-year-old child. How will she survive?"
"I know that by doing this I am letting down my country and my family, but I really have no other choice, Daoist Master!"
“I bought an insurance policy at the beginning of the year. I know that doing so will send me to hell, but for her and her child, I will do it even if it means going to hell!”
PS——
Ten years ago, when I was 24, I met a guy in another city. This is his experience. Although some details have been changed, this is the general idea.
