The unscrupulous system forced me to frantically test the small black room

"Auntie, I have treated you like my own son for so many years, but I don't even deserve to be called mother by you."

"Your father is the same. He said he loved me, but he didn't even want to get a marriage certificate with me. He only gave me money, and he always gave me money."

"Don't you want to know why your mother hasn't come back yet?"

"I'm telling you today, she's dead, she died a long time ago!"

"Not only did she want to die, she also selfishly wanted to kill you and take you with her!"

"She has breast cancer and she has no money to treat it, so she won't live long. That's why she burned coal in the house, hoping to take you, a piece of trash, with her to die."

"As a result, the coal got damp, and she didn't die. Instead, she woke up and jumped out of the broken window of your room, smashing someone else's car and turning you blind."

"She is the one who wants to kill you! I am the one who has been taking care of you!"

"Why can't you and your son see the good in me? Why do you treat me like this?" The aunt covered her face and cried.

Tao Zhi was frozen and unable to move, his heart seemed to have stopped beating, and his mind was blank. Every word that the aunt had just said fell into Tao Zhi's ears, but he was unable to use his brain to decipher the information.

What does mommy die mean?

What does it mean that my mother wants to kill herself?

Window? Mom jumped out of the window of her room?

The window that brings the only light into this small, dark room?

The memory of that day seemed to come flooding back. The sound of a heavy object falling from a tall building echoed in my mind, and the noisy sound of car horns and the screams of passers-by outside the building were piercing.

What did your mother say to you by your bedside that day?

It was blurry then, but now it is clear.

She said sorry, she said she was too tired and she couldn't hold on any longer.

She said she would wait for me to come over.

Also, she loves me.

Tao Zhi's shrill screams echoed in the small room. He struggled excitedly to get off the bed, then fell heavily off the bed, hitting his head on the corner of the bedside table and bleeding profusely.

Tao Zhi ignored the pain, groping around on the ground with his hands, tears pouring out like a dam breaking, and he almost lost all ability to think.

"You lied to me!"

"You are a liar, everything you said was a lie to me!"

"I won't believe you. I want to find Dad. Dad said Mom will be back. He said she will be back soon."

"Mom wouldn't abandon me and commit suicide. She has persisted for more than ten years. How could she give up and abandon me?"

Tao Zhi was screaming as if he had lost his mind. When his aunt saw the blood on his forehead, she realized that she had caused trouble by telling the truth, and she rushed over anxiously and worriedly to help Tao Zhi up.

"Go away, go away, let me go, don't touch me!"

Tao Zhi struggled to push away the aunt's hand that had touched him. His screams were hoarse and exhausted. His tears had wet his cheeks and half of his face was stained red with blood.

As soon as Dad opened the door and entered the house, he heard screams coming from Tao Zhi's room. He rushed over anxiously and saw Tao Zhi screaming with blood all over his face, while Aunt was kneeling beside Tao Zhi, at a loss, trying to support him.

Tao Zhi kept shouting words like "liar" and "mom".

In a short moment, my father lost his mind, rushed forward, grabbed my aunt’s shoulders and pushed her away.

"Get out of here!" Dad yelled.

The father hugged Tao Zhi, who had broken down emotionally, so that he couldn't struggle at all, and forced Tao Zhi's head down with his hands to calm him down.

"It's okay, it's okay. Dad is back. Don't be afraid." Dad coaxed.

Tao Zhi grabbed his father's arm and looked at his father anxiously with his dull eyes.

"Dad, Auntie said Mom was dead. She said Mom committed suicide. She lied to me, right?"

"Tell me, tell me she's a liar, okay?"

"Please, tell me." Tao Zhi's eyes were already red.

Dad was shocked when he heard this and glared at the aunt beside him.

"How dare you! How dare you say that to him!" Dad yelled at Aunt.

At this time, the aunt was holding her stomach and gritting her teeth to endure the pain, looking very painful.

The guilt that the aunt felt for causing Tao Zhi's breakdown and injury suddenly disappeared, and she felt as if she had fallen into ice. Then the anger and resentment that had accumulated like a dam in her heart burst out. She was so angry that she was shaking, and she spoke with red eyes and pain.

"You're an asshole!"

"How could you do this to me?"

"I have devoted all my energy to this family for so long, but in the end you dare not even admit that I am your lover in front of him. You only dare to let him think that I am a nanny who is paid to do things for you."

"People are made of flesh and blood. Why can't I warm your cold-blooded father and son's heart for so many years?"

"I never followed you for your money, but you always used money to evade me, and the only topic you talked to me about was your son."

"I'm so tired. I'm really tired."

"I'm pregnant now. I know I'm not suitable for having a child at my age, but I also want to have a child of my own."

"I forced you to marry me. I just wanted a name. I don't want to be your shameful lover or a nanny forever."

"I just want my child to be able to call you dad and brother. Am I wrong? Am I really wrong?"

"Why can't you see the good in me? Why do you only care about that dead woman?"

"Why!"

Auntie asked at the top of her lungs, her face turning pale from the cramps in her stomach.

When her father found out she was pregnant, his face suddenly changed color. He frantically took out his cell phone from his pocket and called the emergency number with trembling hands.

"Send an ambulance quickly, there are two injured people here, one of whom is a pregnant woman, hurry up!"

After my father finished the call, he knelt down and rushed to my aunt, lifted her upper body from the ground and held her in his arms. His eyes were already red and wet, and were full of worry.

"Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

"I am sorry for you. I neglected you."

"I was really scared of being poor before, and I didn't know how to treat you well, so I could only keep giving you money. I thought this would give you a sense of security and make you happy."

"I don't treat you as a lover or a babysitter. I know how good you have been over the years."

"You and the child will be fine. The ambulance will be here soon. Don't be afraid. Everything will be fine."

"Once we get out of the hospital, we will get the marriage certificate and hold a grand wedding. We will invite all our relatives and friends and tell them that you are my wife, okay?"

My father's voice was trembling. The aunt in his arms looked worse and worse. The hair on her forehead was wet with cold sweat, and she curled up her body in pain.

Tao Zhi didn't continue screaming, but slowly calmed down while his father and aunt were talking. The calmness in his heart was like dead water, without any ripples.
