In a top VIP ward in Haishi, the lawyer held out the agreement and looked at the dying national richest man, Xie Sui, asking, "Mr. Xie, are you sure you want to donate all your property to a charity organization?"
The dying old man nodded with difficulty, "Yes, I'm very clear. Donate it all, leave nothing. My ashes will be scattered into the sea, not buried in the ancestral grave."
He had no face to go back!
Xie Sui, who had dominated the world's rich list, seemed to see that beautiful and strong woman again at the end of his life. It was she who taught him growth, courage, and responsibility in the most cruel way.
He also thought of meeting her in the underworld, as well as his twin sons, but he knew Lin Wanwan's resolute personality would never forgive him.
He was not qualified to ask for Lin Wanwan's forgiveness.
"Husband, drink your soup."
A tearing pain shot through his mind, like countless small chisels hammering inside his head. His throat felt like it was burning, desperately wanting a sip of warm water.
But the familiar, yet cold voice made Xie Sui suddenly wake up. It was—Lin Wanwan!
This voice echoed in his mind countless times. Was he dreaming again?
It was good, it was good to see her even in a dream.
He felt his body being propped up, a bowl placed at his lips. The rich aroma of meat broth made his stomach growl, "Drink it. After this, we'll all be free."
Without hatred, the calm voice made Xie Sui feel it wasn't a dream. He opened his eyes, saw the bowl of soup, and trembled all over, instinctively swatting it to the ground.
"Dad, you're so mean! Mom wouldn't give us such good meat soup, and you don't want it when it's for you. Dad is the worst."
"Yeah, Dad is the worst, worst bad guy in the world."
Two young childish voices rang out, filled with fear and disgust. Xie Sui turned his head and saw his robust twin sons. Was this not a dream?
These were his twin sons, Dou Dou and Ding Ding!
The aroma of the meat soup attracted a starving wild cat, which darted down to snatch a piece of meat and tried to run. However, before it reached the door, it twitched and collapsed on the ground.
Xie Sui: "..."
Lin Wanwan: "..."
The two of them looked at each other. Lin Wanwan averted her eyes and said, "The cat starved to death. It had bad luck, not even a full ghost in death. You kids go out and play, Mom will clean up."
"Oh, so pitiful. Let's go bury it."
"Bury it, build a grave, and burn some paper."
The brothers discussed and carried the dead cat to make a grave for it.
Xie Sui finally came back to his senses. The familiar room, the familiar setup. Damn it, this was a rebirth to the day his wife was about to poison him with rat poison.
In his previous life, he had really drunk it. However, Lin Wanwan and their two children had drunk it with him, and the whole family had set off together.
It was also Xie Sui's good fortune that he had drunk alcohol the day before and vomited a lot. After being rushed to the hospital for treatment, he survived, but Lin Wanwan and their two children became three cold corpses.
From that moment on, Xie Sui suddenly woke up, repented, and decided to start anew. But he spent his entire life healing, carrying regret until his death.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry. I was a scoundrel, I deserve to die. Can we have a good life together from now on?"
Lin Wanwan said numbly, "Do you believe those words yourself? I'll go get you another bowl."
Xie Sui shivered in fear. "No, no need. Let's not drink that meat soup. The meat must be unclean. Don't get a stomachache. I'll clean it up."
Xie Sui didn't dare to reveal the truth. If they fell out, life would be unbearable. Who would dare to live with a wife who wanted to kill her husband?
But Xie Sui knew that Lin Wanwan was not a bad woman. She was just completely desperate with life, and all this despair was brought on by him. That's why she chose such a resolute method to take the whole family on their last journey together.
He quickly cleaned the floor and then poured the pot of soup into a pit in the kitchen, burying it completely. He was covered in sweat from the exertion.
Lin Wanwan sat at the doorway, quietly watching him do everything. A sarcastic smile played on her lips. So what if he knew? She had had enough of this kind of life. It was better to find release together than to endure a life worse than death. May they be reborn into good families.
The children could have parents who loved them and a happy family. She wasn't a good mother.
Thinking of her children, Lin Wanwan's heart was wrung with pain. If she hadn't been so desperate, she wouldn't have wanted to take the children with her.
Now that the beast hadn't died, they couldn't die either. If anyone had to die, it should be him first.
Xie Sui cautiously approached, "Wanwan, I was wrong. I promise to change everything and give you and the children a good life. Please give me a chance, okay?"
Lin Wanwan looked at him blankly. The rare depth of feeling and regret on his usually flippant face moved her slightly. Then she shook her head again. He had just sensed her thoughts and was trying to retreat to advance.
"I'll see how you behave."
Xie Sui grinned, "Thank you, wife. I'll go cook."
"There's no rice or oil. We're out of provisions. Yesterday, you took the last bit of money to buy a shirt. That piece of meat was also given by our neighbor, Grandma Wang."
Xie Sui chuckled sheepishly. Was this kind of rubbish something he did?
Back then, his mind must have been filled with water. He was uneducated, indulged in drinking, whoring, gambling, and smoking, a complete five-venom person. His only advantage was a handsome face. He was also vain like a girl, a typical greasy, powdered, slick little hooligan.
He had bought the new shirt specifically to attend a wedding of his village brothers and to be a groomsman.
As expected, the groomsman looked more like the groom than the groom himself. His brother's face darkened. Damn it, Xie Sui, were you here to ruin the day?
"I'll find a way, wife, don't worry. I'll definitely get some food."
Lin Wanwan raised an eyebrow, "By stealing? By cheating? Or by robbing? We don't eat that kind of thing. You eat it yourself."
"No, it will definitely be from legitimate sources, no stealing, no robbing, no cheating."
Xie Sui felt guilty and ran out of the yard. His wife's gaze was too intense. He had just been reborn, and his heart was pounding like a drum. He needed to calm down first.
The village where Xie Sui lived was called Yushu Gully. It was located in the south, with a large population but limited land. They relied on mountain goods and planting a little corn and sweet potatoes to barely survive, but it was difficult to become rich.
He remembered it was 1982. The household responsibility system had just been implemented, and the college entrance examination had only resumed a few years ago. The spring of reform had just begun to blow. They still needed grain coupons to buy things in town.
This was the best era. Xie Sui gave a wicked smile. He would walk the path of the world's richest man again, but this time, with his wife and children by his side, life would be more hopeful. Sudananovel.com
"Brother, I remember adults saying that grilled meat needs to be skinned. Do you dare?"
"For meat, brother will do anything."
Two tender childish voices came. Xie Sui walked over and looked, and his scalp immediately tingled, and his hair stood on end. His two sons were worthy of being his offspring. They were so bold. They hadn't buried the dead cat and wanted to roast and eat it!
