As for Xu Yuanshan, the wife and daughter he'd always treasured treated him worse than his enemy, Zhang Laohu.
Not only did they never give him any food, but when Zhang Laohu brought him something to eat, Tan Jing would even wear a look of disgust.
Everyone knew that under these circumstances, Xu Yuanshan wouldn't live much longer. Even if he managed to hang on, he would just become an invalid—a burden to them.
It would be better if he just died sooner. He'd be out of his misery, and it would save everyone some food.
You have to admit, some stories in this world unfold in the most unbelievable ways.
Xu Yuanshan probably never imagined that one day his own family would treat him worse than a scoundrel.
Xu Yuanshan had long since lost the will to live. But as long as there was food in front of him, it was truly difficult to choose starvation as a way to die. That kind of thing required an incredible amount of willpower.
