Chapter 693 Is This the Speech of Men?

The old woman was stunned by Lilly’s words, staring blankly at her.

Afte 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

anymore.”

words were not complaints, but a sigh of relief. “Finally, I’m dead… I won’t cause them trouble

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 old lady and her

hildren.

When they divided the house, the youngest son got the family’s homestead, and the daughter got married in the same village.

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-in-law, he also obtained a piece of land 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

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 in- laws 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…

But last month, when the youngest son brought the elderly mother to the eldest son’s house according to the agreement, the eldest son refused to accept 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 Mom come 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, you come 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 Blake tightly. trembling with her hand that held the pen of judgment.

Josh quickly asked. “Lilly… Lilly, what’s wrong?”

F

yone saw her lift her hand and stand silently for a long time until her eyes started to turn red.

Worried, Blake 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 Blake tightly, choking up as she recounted what she had just witnessed.

Blake 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 commotion drew the attention of neighbors who peered out from their homes, some even coming over with umbrellas to watch.

Blake spoke quietly to the police for a few moments, and their expressions changed. They seemed to want to say something to Blake 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 according to the law!”

Daun suddenly panicked but quickly regained his composure. 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!

Blake raised his hand, grabbed Daun by the collar, 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?”

Blake looked down at Daun, his eyes filled with anger and resentment.
