Three Women in the Cage

Suddenly, Yang Su heard the crying outside and came out. Standing at the door, he said to them anxiously, "What are you doing? Come in quickly, my brother is dying, hurry..."

Hearing Yang Su's urgent cry, everyone came to their senses. Several children ran towards the house, crying and shouting "Dad..."

Yang Yu hurriedly supported his father and mother and walked quickly towards the inner room.

Mother Yang couldn't help crying out loudly as she was supported and walked quickly, "Son...!"

In front of the bed in the room, Tian Yun was holding Yang Yi's hand, crying uncontrollably, and while crying, she kept muttering, "Don't go, don't be so cruel to leave us, what should we do if you leave?..."

Yang Yi was lying on the bed, and suddenly it was as if all his blood and energy had been drained out, and the lamp oil had been used up, and his whole body fell there like a dead leaf!

No matter how Tian Yun cried and pulled his arm, he just stared at the door with empty eyes. He was trying to hold his breath to take another look at the child and Yang's father and mother!

Originally, he could have held on for a few more days, but since he came back and lay in bed, Tian Yun kept nagging in his ear, trying to get him to beg his third brother to take care of them, an orphan and a widow, before he left!

Seeing his third brother being dragged by Ma Mei, and the couple ready to have a fierce argument in front of him at any time, he really couldn't open his mouth. He wanted to force his third brother before he died!

No one has the obligation or responsibility to take care of the orphans and widows left behind by me. My own life is bad enough, why should I drag my third brother into it and let him be dragged down like me?

What's more, there are two children who are not from the Yang family. I can still let it go for the sake of my lover, but why should I ask my third brother to do the same?

He can't be so selfish and can't bring harm to his own brother. Besides, he has elderly parents who need his brother to take care of them. He can only feel sorry for his wife and children who have been left behind!

Tears slid down the corners of his eyes. He ignored Tian Yun's pleading, waved to Yang Ming, asked Yang Ming to put his ear closer, and then gently instructed, "Third brother... I'm sorry, in the future... in the future I need you to help me take care of... help me take care of two old people..."

He tried his best to entrust his father Yang, who had left him with his old age, to others before he passed away. He could no longer fulfill his filial piety. He was going to die before his parents, so he could only entrust this unfulfilled filial piety to his third brother, asking him to fulfill it for him! Besides, Yang's father had always wanted to go to his third brother, and he had fulfilled his wish for the last time! He had once said that he would only agree to let him go to his third brother's unless he died, and now he had done the last thing for him!

But I am ultimately unfilial. I cannot support my parents, feeling ashamed of their kindness in raising me. I cannot take care of my wife and children, feeling unworthy of their trust and their dependence! I am ultimately unworthy of everyone, and I am leaving unwillingly!

After Yang Yi finished speaking, he stared straight at Yang Ming with tear-stained eyes. Yang Ming had already burst into tears and choked back, "Brother, don't worry, I will take care of my parents, don't worry. As for my sister-in-law and nephew, I..."

Before he could finish his words, Ma Mei's stern voice came, "Yang Ming! You dare..."

Yang Ming looked back at Ma Mei's warning eyes, and for a moment he seemed to want to say something but stopped. His eyes were red from crying, he was choking and unable to speak!

He thought about his wife's warning: if he agreed to help his eldest brother's widow and orphans, she would divorce him and take the children. He had his own family and children. Did he really want to let his family fall apart for his eldest brother? He hesitated. He couldn't let his eldest brother's family fall apart right after his own family fell apart!

What's more, there are two old people, what should he do? He can't let them grieve for their eldest brother and worry about himself. Therefore, when Ma Mei's sharp voice came, the words he was about to answer were abruptly blocked!

He was confused and hesitant, his eyes red with tears as he looked at Yang Yi and choked with sobs, "Brother! I'm sorry..."

Yang Yi smiled as if he understood. He understood and was content. It was enough for his third brother to take good care of his parents! What else was he hoping for...

Only Tian Yun, who was standing aside, felt as if her heart had sunk into a bottomless abyss, with no ripples appearing anymore. The coldness seeped out from the inside out, freezing her body stiff!

She stood there in a daze, without any reaction for a long time. Everything seemed to have determined her death. There were thorns all ahead, and no matter what she did, she could not find a smooth path!

But she was unwilling to accept it. Why did they arrange everything for the old man, but not for her and the child?

She immediately came to her senses, grabbed Yang Yi and shook him, asking him to tell her what would happen to her and the child in the future.

Under her questioning, Yang Yi felt anxious and in pain, and finally he became so angry that he bleeds. Then he fell weakly on the bed and couldn't utter a word!

Seeing Yang Yi fall down, Tian Yun rushed forward to pull him away, unwilling to see him die in such an unclear manner. However, Yang Ming could not bear it anymore, so he grabbed Tian Yun and said, "Sister-in-law, please stop making trouble for your brother. If you continue, I'm afraid he won't even be able to see his parents and nephew..."

After saying that, he shouted to Yang Su who was standing there in a daze, "Hurry up, go call the parents and the children..."

Yang Su came to his senses, looked at the situation on the hospital bed, and hurriedly ran outside. When he walked out the door, he shouted to the people standing in the yard crying!

Yang Zheng ran over first, stepped into the room quickly, and looked at his father, whom he had called for seven or eight years. He was lying there like a withered leaf, swaying, staring at the door with empty eyes!

He quickly took two steps forward, rushed to the edge of the bed, and fell to his knees with a plop, crying out to Yang Yi, "Dad! Wuuwuwu..."

Yang Yi looked at the child he had loved for several years, slowly stretched out his hand, caressed his face lovingly, and supported him lovingly! He muttered something in a soft voice, but in the end, he said nothing!

What could I say? Nothing at all. I'd let everyone down, except him! Well, he was a pitiful man, too. Why bother talking about those meaningless things and adding to his troubles?

After looking at Yang Zheng, Yang Yi looked towards the door again. He was waiting for his own son. After a while, Yang Qing appeared at the door slowly, holding Sanmao in one hand and Ermao in the other. His empty eyes finally showed a trace of emotion, and he stared blankly at them as they gradually approached.

Yang Qing brought them to the bed, let Ermao lean against the bed, and slowly knelt down holding Sanmao. With red eyes, he choked and said to the dying Yang Yi, "Dad! I brought Ermao and Sanmao to see you... wuwuwu..."

Ermao cried and shouted inconsolably to Yang Yi, grabbing the edge of the bed, trying to get closer, closer, but he still couldn't catch his father's sinking hands!

Yang Yi looked at his son who was crying, his own son, a child less than four years old, and his heart was filled with love and reluctance. He wanted to take a good look at him and touch him!

He couldn't help but raise his hands and tremblingly placed them on Ermao's face. He caressed it with affection, whispering "Ermao...", and tears fell uncontrollably.

Perhaps sensing the sadness of her father's impending departure, Sanmao opened her little mouth and burst into tears. Her piercing cries echoed around the rooftops. She had never cried so hard before!

Yang Yi followed the sound and raised his head with difficulty to look in the direction of Sanmao. Yang Qing hurriedly held Sanmao close to Yang Yi, trying to let him touch her! Yang Yi took his hand away from Ermao's face and placed his trembling hand on Sanmao's face!

At this moment, Sanmao was still crying loudly, tears staining his face which was red from crying. Yang Yi gently stroked his tender cheek, his eyes full of reluctance!

This little boy, who is only half a year old, has just been born into this world, and he is about to lose his father! He is still so young and doesn't understand anything, but he is going to lose his father. I really can't let him down!

With tears on his face, he looked at Ermao, then at Sanmao, feeling reluctant and nostalgic, and it was indescribably hard to bear!
