   On the day I died from overwork, my parents were hosting a banquet for my future sister-in-law. My mother gave her the gold necklace I had given her, smiling as she said, "The money that brat earned will all go to you two!" My brother texted me, ordering, "Work extra days this month to raise enough money for my wedding!" My father said with a smile, "We'll use her dowry money to buy the wedding house; 300,000 yuan is enough for the down payment." No one cared whether something had happened to me. It wasn't until the mortgage was overdue and they had no one to support them that they began to regret and cry, "If only Xiaohui were still alive." But I was already dead. I died in that... Late night when I called them repeatedly for help, only to be rejected again and again.
