As Aunt Ge entered the house, Lin Xiang vaguely heard the sounds of someone wailing inside.
The cries rose and fell, clearly indicating there was more than one person inside.
"Mom, just give up already. Consider it a release for both me and you." The man lay on the bed with hollow eyes, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Aunt Ge wiped his hands and face with a cloth, chiding, "We've already gotten through the hardest times, and your condition is visibly improving. How can you ask me to give up on you now?"
"There's no money left at home."
"Aren't I out there earning... Oh heavens, what are you up to again!"
"Mom, my brother is right. Just let the two of us go. My life only brings you shame; I can't drag you down any further!"
