Chapter 693 Is This the Speech of Men?
The old woman was stunned by Lilly''s words, staring nkly at her.
After a long while, she finally looked at her own lifeless body, as if realizing that she had died.
She had died right at the doorstep of her eldest son''s house.
Her first words were notints, but a sigh of relief. "Finally, I''m dead... I won''t cause them trouble
anymore."
Lilly felt a chill in her heart, and that nameless anger made her feel even more powerless.
Josh''s voice was filled with anger. "Isn''t this inhumane? His mother walked to her children''s houses on
a stormy day, and not a single person opened the door for her?"
Max''s mind was buzzing, still trying to process the fact that he had seen a ghost, and shocked by
Josh''s unbelievable camera. But witnessing the old woman''s entire journey of death made him angry.
He couldn''t find the words to say, just staring at the building in front of him, clenching his teeth
involuntarily.
Hannah asked angrily, "Why would they do that? Isn''t she their mother?"
Even though her mother wasn''t good.
She had secretly felt sad when her mother was arrested.
But her grandmother told her that not all mothers in the world were like that. The majority of mothers in
the world loved their children, so she shouldn''t harbor resentment but move forward.
So Hannah couldn''t understand, are there bad mothers in the world, and would there also be bad
children?
Lilly also wanted to know why.
So she took out the pen of judgment. This time, she saw the arguments between the olddy and her
children.
When they divided the house, the youngest son got the family''s homestead, and the daughter got
married in the same vige.
The eldest son received the old house in the city, which was renovated into a three-story self-built
house with the support of their parents.
The second son didn''t get the old house, and he had grievances, but he received his father''s savings.
After getting married and with the help of his father-inw, he also obtained a piece ofnd and built his
own house before the policy forbidding self-built houses came into effect.
After the father''s death, the remaining inheritance was divided among the four children.
The issue of caring for the elderly mother became the root cause of conflict among the four brothers.
The eldest son said that the mother was everyone''s mother, so he shouldn''t be solely responsible for
her care. The second son received money, and the youngest son received the rural homestead. It
wasn''t only him who benefited.
The second son said that the eldest son had received the old house, being the biggest beneficiary, so
what was the small amount of money he received?
The youngest son said that both older brothers had houses in the city, while he was in the countryside.
So why should he be the one to support her?
The daughter said that she only received a small portion of the inheritance and that taking care of the
elderly mother should be the responsibility of her brothers. She was already married and living in her
inws'' house, how could she provide care?
In the end, they reached an agreement that the elderly mother would live at each son''s house for a
month, and after a month, she would move to the next son''s house.
The daughter would provide a monthly allowance of 200.
And so it continued...
Butst month, when the youngest son brought the elderly mother to the eldest son''s house ording
to the agreement, the eldest son refused to ept her, saying that he couldn''t take care of her
because his two grandsons had just been born.
With a swift movement of Lilly''s pen of judgment, she witnessed the heartbreaking scene of the old
woman pleading to her youngest son before her death.
It was the same scene they had just witnessed but hadn''t seen in its entirety.
The old woman cried, "Shaun, are you home? Open the door... Mom has nowhere to go, please open
the door."
This time, the youngest son opened the door.
A glimmer of surprise appeared on the old woman''s face, and she hastily said, "Shaun... Mom is so
cold, and I haven''t eaten..."
However, the youngest son came out with anger and said, "Didn''t I tell you to go find the eldest
brother? It''s his turn this month, go find him!"
The old woman knelt, "Please let Mome in... I can change my clothes..."
The youngest son frowned, "Don''t try to act pitiful with me. I can''t do anything. I''ve been taking care of
you this month, and it''s the eldest brother''s turn."
"Even if it''s his turn and he neglects you, youe back to me, and if the second brother sees that, he
won''t let you in either, so I''ll have to support you indefinitely."
Tears streaked down the old woman''s face as she grasped the youngest son''s clothes, but he
heartlessly shrugged her off.
"Go find my brother! I''ve done what I''m supposed to do, and I have a clear conscience. Stop knocking
on the door!"
He walked back into the house and closed the door.
The old woman''s hands dropped weakly, and she sat alone in the wind and rain.
Time seemed to stretch on endlessly, and with a sigh, she stood up and continued on her way to her
eldest son''s house...
Lilly, still unable to remain indifferent despite her efforts, unknowingly teared up. She held ke tightly,
trembling with her hand that held the pen of judgment.
Josh quickly asked, "Lilly... Lilly, what''s wrong?"
Everyone saw her lift her hand and stand silently for a long time until her eyes started to turn red.
Worried, ke took her small hand and found that it was ice cold. He held it in his palm, rubbing it
gently, and asked in a warm voice, "What''s the matter?"
Tears fell from Lilly''s eyes as she embraced ke tightly, choking up as she recounted what she had
just witnessed.
ke fell silent for a moment.
The children were filled with anger. What kind of people were they? Were they even human? They had
driven their mother out amid a typhoon, on a cold day with rain and strong winds.
Josh stepped forward angrily, kicking the iron gate, "Open the door! I know you''re inside! You worthless
scum, open the door!"
He angrily grabbed a stone and threw it at the gate, creating a loud bang.
At that moment, the sound of sirens grew louder, and a police car approached from a nearby alley. The
with umbres to watch.
ke spoke quietly to the police for a few moments, and their expressions changed. They seemed to
want to say something to ke but were stopped by his raised hand.
Two individuals approached and confirmed the old woman''s body, making notes.
The other two aggressively knocked on the door, "Daun! Open the door!"
The police officer shouted, "If you don''t open the door now, we have the authority to take forcible
measures!"
After knocking for a while, someone finally opened the door.
Daun, with a surprised expression, asked, "What''s going on?"
The police officer sneered, "What''s going on? You''re suspected of abandonment, leading to the death
of your mother. You''re under arrest ording to thew!"
Daun suddenly panicked but quickly regained hisposure. He stiffened his neck and said,
"Abandonment? I didn''t neglect my mother. My brothers and I have been taking care of her together. It
was my younger brother''s turn this month, go find him!"
The police officer grew angry.
It was the first time they had seen a son so cold and callous, not even asking about the death of his
mother right away.
Instead, he started arguing about who should take responsibility!
ke raised his hand, grabbed Daun by the cor, and threw him in front of the old woman''s body!
"Take a look for yourself. Is this how you speak as a human being?"
