But before all my plans could be put into action, there was one thing I had to do.
I'm going to see my brother.
After my brother in my previous life was sent to northern Myanmar, I tried every way to see him again, but was stopped by Zhou Chenyan.
I never got to see him until he died.
The boy was lying on the bed, fiddling with a thousand paper cranes out of boredom.
I gently pushed the door open.
“…Ahang.”
When he spoke, his voice was hoarse and choked.
Mu Hang looked up and saw me, and said in surprise: "Sister, you came to see me!"
"...Sister, what's wrong with you?"
Mu Hang saw my strange expression and a worried look appeared on his face. "Is it because your brother-in-law treats you badly?"
"No, don't think about it."
I rubbed my brother's furry head, and he obediently leaned his head forward, looking at me with eager eyes.
There was a thousand paper cranes in his hand.
That was a gift from me to him.
Mu Xianghua doesn't care about me and my brother. Our pockets are cleaner than our faces, so I can only go out and work part-time to make money.
But this means I can't be with him in the hospital.
I was afraid that he would be lonely, so I took advantage of my part-time job to learn some handicrafts and folded a lot of paper cranes, little frogs and other toys for him.
This half-grown boy treats these cheap things I gave him as treasures.
"I'm glad I didn't bully you, sister. You look a lot thinner than last time."
He touched my face with heartache.
I held his hand. The boy's hands were long and slender, but due to years of taking medicine to treat illness, they were now just skin and bones.
"Did you listen to the doctor and take your medicine properly?"
"some!"
His hands were cold, and as he held my fingertips, his voice was filled with an undisguised sense of loss.
"It's all my fault. I've gotten sister into trouble. Mom clearly told me to protect you, but it's always been sister who's been taking care of me..."
"We are family."
When I heard the word "mom", my heart felt sour.
"Tell me, what else did mom tell you?"
Mu Hang thought back carefully, "I remember that my mother was very unhappy during that time. She was always absent-minded and once said something very scary to me."
I asked anxiously, "What did you say?"
"Mom said that if one day she was gone, we should depend on each other and that she would protect my sister and take good care of you..."
I remember that my mother died in a car accident, and the police who went to the scene to investigate found depression medication in her car.
Mu Xianghua also testified that his mother was in a bad mood due to company matters at that time, suffered from depression, and took medicine all day long.
The final conclusion was that the mother overused medication, which led to a driving error and a car accident.
This was the same decision in the previous life.
Now it seems that there are many loopholes.
My mother came from an ordinary family. She relied on her own efforts to come to the big city from a small mountain village and worked hard to build her career with Mu Xianghua. She has encountered all kinds of difficulties. How could she suddenly suffer from depression?
I suddenly remembered that my mother left a will before she died.
After her death, all her shares were left to me and my brother.
At that time I felt something was wrong. How could a normal person think of leaving a will?
Unless you foresee the coming of danger.
Unfortunately, I was deeply trapped in the quagmire of marriage, and even if I had noticed something, I had no time to investigate. I was even deceived by Mu Xianghua when I wanted to divorce.
He forged a share transfer document as a divorce agreement and asked me to sign it.
I pinched my brother's ear.
"You take good care of yourself here. I have some things to do. I will come to see you after I finish these things."
Mu Hang was very sensible and didn't keep me. "Okay, I'll listen to you, sister."
He gave me a thousand paper cranes.
"Sister, let it accompany you instead of me."
I thought about my previous life again, the jar of broken paper cranes I found in the hospital after my brother was sent away, and my fingers trembled a little.
Not wanting to show any strangeness in front of my brother, I quickly left the hospital with the paper crane.
I returned to the Mu family.
The Mu family's living room was filled with joy.
As soon as I stepped in, I saw this scene.
Mu Xianghua and his mistress Gong Yue were sitting on the sofa. Mu Ya was talking to them with a smile, and the couple looked doting on each other.
What a nice family of three.
My arrival was like a stone breaking the calm surface of a lake.
Mu Xianghua said unhappily, "You still remember to come back."
Gong Yue gently pushed him and said, "Don't say that. Yanyan must have been wronged if she wanted a divorce. Now that she has figured it out, she will naturally come back."
"Marrying into a family like the Zhou family, what kind of grievances could she possibly endure? They wouldn't even mistreat her! She's just like her mother, so hypocritical!"
Mu Xianghua has always been like this.
When he talks about me and my mother, he always looks annoyed.
It was as if the good father who swore to be loyal and to carry me on his shoulders had never existed.
I had seen their faces before, and I was too lazy to waste words with them, so I just walked past them and went straight to the backyard.
"What are you doing?"
I put Mu Xianghua's question behind me.
There is an ancestral hall in the backyard of the Mu family. It was built by Mu Xianghua after he became rich. The rankings of the Mu family's ancestors are placed in it.
My mother's memorial tablet is also placed there.
In the dim and cold ancestral hall, I immediately saw the tablet with my mother's name engraved on it in the corner, covered with a thick layer of dust.
I wrapped it preciously in my coat and held it in my arms.
At this moment, I felt at ease.
"Put it down!" Mu Xianghua chased after him with a gloomy face, "Who told you to come to the ancestral hall and make trouble? Put it back immediately!"
"I want to take my mother away."
