Chapter 1 Back to Before Demolition

"Are you a pig? It's already so late and you're still not up?"

"You don't even cook breakfast and wait for people to serve you. Do you think you are a multi-millionaire and have everything you want?"

"What old woman is like you? You're still lying here at noon. If anyone knows about it, they'll laugh their heads off. You lazy bitch... Get up."

Chen Baomei was confused and had no idea what was going on.

Didn’t she die and go to the underworld?

Why do I have to cook after going to the underworld?

In the chaos, she suddenly felt cold, the thin blanket covering her body was lifted up, and she was dragged to the ground by a big hand with brute force, with a loud bang.

Chen Baomei woke up instantly from the pain.

When she opened her eyes, she saw her husband Shen Xingguo glaring at her angrily.

Chen Baomei rubbed her eyes. Is Shen Xingguo, the old Bidden, also dead?

No, his hands are hot.

He is alive!

Looking around, Chen Baomei realized that this was actually her old home. Looking at Shen Xingguo again, he had fewer wrinkles on his face and was not as old as she had imagined.

When I touched my own hands, they were also hot.

An astonishing guess emerged in Chen Baomei's mind. She asked doubtfully, "How old are you this year?"

Shen Xingguo glared angrily: "I just celebrated my 57th birthday, damn old woman, is it possible that she is confused by the fever?"

Then she is 55 years old.

She was reborn!

When she returned home and the house had not been demolished yet, Shen Xingguo had not divorced her, and the demolition money and house had not been defrauded by her unfilial son!

In her previous life, the demolition compensation she had was drained away bit by bit by her sons. She had to live in a rental house, and eventually she fell ill and no one cared for her. She starved to death on New Year's Eve.

It was a freezing cold day, and she lay in the icy rental house, crying out to heaven and earth, but no one answered her call.

The feeling of being extremely hungry made her heart palpitate and feel uncomfortable whenever she thought about it.

Seeing Shen Xingguo’s disgusting face, Chen Baomei felt even more uncomfortable.

She casually picked up the small stool at her feet and threw it at Shen Xingguo with all her strength.

"You know I have a fever. You don't have hands or feet, so you can't catch a fever yourself! When you're hungry, you just bark like a dog. Am I your father or your mother, dedicated to serving a piece of shit like you?"

Shen Xingguo didn't expect Chen Baomei to suddenly attack, and he didn't even think about hiding.

The small stool hit him hard on the lower body, causing him to hunch over in pain and gasp for breath.

Shen Xingguo pointed a trembling finger at Chen Baomei, "You actually hit me? Chen Baomei, did you take the wrong medicine?"

"What's wrong with hitting you? Get out of here."

"You have healthy hands and feet but you still need the sick to take care of you. If people tell others about it, you'll be the one who'll be laughed at!"

Shen Xingguo felt a sharp pain down there, and even if he was extremely angry, he didn't dare to delay any longer. So he said harshly, "Just wait for me," and hurried to the hospital to find a doctor.

Chen Baomei got up and felt sweaty and a little weak.

Shen Xingguo's birthday is celebrated with great fanfare every year. He invites friends and several of his children and grandchildren, and sets up three or four tables every year.

He was reluctant to pay someone to do it, so every time Chen Baomei and her second daughter-in-law had to do it alone.

She was old and not in good health as before. After Shen Xingguo's birthday, she collapsed from exhaustion and had a fever for two days.

The other day, Shen Xingguo took care of her, but he became impatient after only two days.

When it comes to taking care of her, I just provide her with three meals a day.

The rice was cooked into porridge and some leftovers from his birthday were added.

The leftovers had been in the refrigerator for three days, and Chen Baomei was lucky enough not to die from eating them.

After dragging her weak body out for a few minutes, Chen Baomei went to the bun shop on the street to have breakfast. Only after she had eaten and drunk her fill did she feel alive again.

Chen Baomei was sweating so much that she was about to take a shower, but then she remembered that she didn't even have a water heater at home.

Shen Xingguo was extremely stingy and never wanted to spend a penny more on Chen Baomei.

Chen Baomei suggested installing a water heater several times, but Shen Xingguo refused to do it. She had to boil buckets of water to take a bath.

Shen Xingguo was very generous to himself. He would go to a bath center to take a bath, and each time he would spend dozens of dollars.

Over the years, Chen Baomei thought that Shen Xingguo was just like that. In addition, he had many children, so he was used to living in a confused state.

But what she didn't know was that Chen Xingguo had already found a lover outside, and he was much more considerate to that lover than to her.

Not only did he help her rent a house, he also spent money to support her.

She had spent half her life with Shen Xingguo, but she didn't even get a gold ring.

The woman outside, on the other hand, wore gold and silver. Shen Xingguo bought her several gold bracelets alone.

In his previous life, Chen Xingguo had become rich and powerful after the demolition, so he asked for a divorce from her.

It was only after the divorce that Chen Baomei found out that Shen Xingguo had been cheating on her for a long time. Unfortunately, she found out too late. Most of the property had already been taken away by Shen Xingguo and given to other women.

When Chen Baomei thought of this, she felt hatred in her heart.

Originally, Xiping Village was to be demolished. Because everyone in Xiping Village was from the same clan, they united as one and raised the price, causing the cost of demolition to become increasingly high.

Forced to do so, the government replanned the project, bypassing Xiping Village and instead demolishing Chen Baomei's Dongping Village. The news wasn't revealed until the following year; before then, the residents of Dongping Village had never imagined the demolition would extend to their area.

Chen Baomei and Shen Xingguo opened a small pig farm, raising hundreds of pigs. But Chen Baomei did most of the work. Shen Xingguo occasionally went out to pick up some pig feed. When the factory came to pick up the pigs, he would check the scales and collect the money. He never did any of the heavy or dirty work.

It can be said that Chen Baomei single-handedly supports this pig farm.

In her previous life, the demolition of this pig farm alone cost her tens of millions in compensation, and Chen Baomei felt heartbroken just thinking about having to share it with Shen Xingguo, a lazy man who couldn't even lift anything.

Shen Xingguo had already hooked up with his lover outside. Chen Baomei thought that she had to expose Shen Xingguo's cheating as soon as possible and get the scarce house and land in her hands.

After boiling water and taking a bath, Shen Xingguo still hadn't come back.

Chen Baomei guessed that he might have gone out to look for his lover again, so she didn't care. She cleaned herself up and prepared to go to the pig farm.

Because of Shen Xingguo's birthday and her illness, she hired a small worker and asked her second daughter-in-law to come over to help take care of her. Now that she is well, she has to go and see her.

Before she left the house, her eldest daughter, Shen Ru, came over carrying a large bag.

When Chen Baomei suddenly saw her eldest daughter, tears started streaming down her face.

Shen Ru was so frightened that she was at a loss, "Mom, what's wrong with you!"

Chen Baomei wiped away her tears and smiled.

"It's okay, a bug flew in and it makes me feel uncomfortable."

Her eldest daughter passed away early, and she had just been reborn, so she didn't expect her eldest daughter to still be there.

In her previous life, her eldest son-in-law Jiang Tianming cheated on her and tricked Shen Ru into taking care of her mistress during her confinement. Shen Ru worked as a nanny at the mistress's house for half a year before discovering the truth. Unable to withstand the blow, Shen Ru tricked Jiang Tianming into drinking poison together, and they both died.

"Come, let mom see you." She hasn't seen Shen Ru for more than ten years since her previous life.

Just as she grabbed Shen Ru's arm, she gasped and couldn't help but retract her hand.

She forced a smile and put her arm around Chen Baomei's arm. "Mom, I just came to see you the other day. I'm already this old, and you still treat me like a child."

"If I don't care about my daughter, who else can I care about?"

If the eldest daughter was still alive in her previous life, how could she have ended up dying of illness or starvation?

As Chen Baomei spoke, she suddenly grabbed her wrist and pulled up her sleeve. Shen Ru's face suddenly changed.

There was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her arms. They were all bruised and purple, and felt hot from being pinched, as if she had been abused.

Chen Baomei felt both distressed and angry.

With a serious face, he asked, "Who did it? Did Jiang Tianming hit you?"
