Gu Qiangwei was lying on the hospital bed. Years of hard work had made her, who was only forty years old, look like a woman in her fifties or sixties.
The doctor said that her body was completely ruined due to years of working all night to make money, and she also had advanced liver cancer, which was about to develop in the next few days.
Since the diagnosis of the disease, her parents-in-law, who she serves, seem to have become different people.
She used to be young and beautiful, and she married their son at the age of twenty.
On her wedding night, her husband went to the front line to fight with his brother. Not long after, she received the news that her husband had died, and she became a widow.
She is a traditional woman. She had decided on her husband before getting married, so she had no plans to remarry. Anyway, both her parents were dead, so she treated her husband's parents as her own biological parents. She had worked hard to earn money to support the family for so many years. As long as she could do it, she would never let the old couple do any more work.
But when she was diagnosed with liver cancer, the couple's attitude changed drastically. They used to say that they loved her like their own daughter, but now they say that her disease will cost a lot of money, so don't treat her since it's in the late stage anyway, and just wait for her to die.
When she could no longer work and earn money, they treated her coldly.
It turns out that people’s hearts cannot be warmed.
Just then, a messenger boy walked in. "Excuse me, are you Ms. Gu Qiangwei? Here is a letter for you."
Gu Qiangwei was puzzled. Who would write to her at this time?
She signed the letter, opened it, and looked at her pretty self, her hands trembling:
【
Ms. Gu Qiangwei, you:
Thank you for your support for my husband's parents over the years. I heard that you were diagnosed with advanced liver cancer and your life was coming to an end. I didn't want to tell you all this, but I felt really bad about it, so I decided to tell you the truth before you die.
I, Qin Zhirou, am the legal wife of your husband, Lu Zhoushan. Twenty years ago, you and Lu Zhoushan only had time to hold your wedding and obtain your marriage certificate before he and his eldest brother joined the battlefield. Lu Zhoushan actually survived the battle, but his eldest brother died. He assumed his eldest brother's identity and stayed in the army. There, he fell in love with me, married, and had a son and a daughter.
At first I didn't know he was married. He didn't tell me until I gave birth to two children. By then we already had a family. I knew he was wrong, but for the sake of my family, I had to keep this a secret.
Over the years, he seldom mentioned you to me, until recently when he told me that you had been diagnosed with liver cancer and that there was no one to take care of his parents, so he decided to bring them to the capital. Only then did I realize that you had been working so hard for them all these years and had exhausted yourself.
I'm really sorry. I'm a selfish person, so I didn't tell you the truth when I first learned it. I was worried that you would attract the troops to destroy my family, but at the same time, I felt a little guilty. Knowing that your life was about to come to the end, I thought I couldn't let you die in such an unclear way, so I wrote this letter and sent it to you.
May everything be well with you in your next life and may you have a happy and fulfilling life.
——Qin Zhirou

Gu Qiangwei's hands were shaking violently as she held the letter.
So that’s how it is! So that’s how it is!
Lu Zhoushan! You lied to me and made me suffer!
I worked hard in the countryside to take care of your parents, but you got married and married someone else!
No wonder Lu Qingming survived, but never came to visit her family for all these years. He only sent some money from time to time. It turned out that it was because he couldn't meet her!
When I think about how I have diligently taken care of my in-laws for so many years, I was faced with such a huge scam.
Gu Qiangwei felt heartbroken.
That woman, what did she say?
oh!
Qin Zhirou!
Is writing a letter to tell myself the truth at this time so that I can die with a clearer mind when I am about to die?
Or was he deliberately showing off so that he could have a heart attack and die?
Thinking of this, Gu Qiangwei pursed her lips.
She didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
She should rush to the place where the scumbag Lu Zhoushan lives and kill him now, making their whole family restless!
But she can't!
She can't do it!
Lu Zhoushan and Qin Zhirou really had a plan.
When I was diligently supporting the old couple, they never brought me to visit. At most, they would send me a little money.
I can only work hard outside to make money and try my best to provide for the elderly couple.
Life is getting harder and harder, so why do the old couple still care about the money sent by the so-called Lu Qingming?
Then tell her.
It’s better to ask Lu Qingming not to send money anymore in the future. I guess their lives are not going to be very easy.
Gu Qiangwei was still thinking at that time that it was really not easy for her elder brother to send money home for so many years.
So I wrote a letter to them, asking them not to borrow any more money as I could support my parents myself.
Who knew that the final outcome would be like this.
That so-called big brother is her husband!
Maybe the old couple told me this on purpose.
I want to take the initiative to ask them not to send money.
Although Qin Zhirou was the one who was concealed from the matter at the beginning, she deserved the benefits of taking care of two elderly people over the years. Originally, this should have been Lu Zhoushan's responsibility.
Lu Zhoushan doesn't pay for the couple's retirement, so shouldn't the money he saves be used to support their little family?
After all, she has been hurting herself all these years.
Ha ha!
When I think about it this way, many things that happened over the years seem to fit in.
No wonder I always feel that my parents-in-law are weird sometimes.
Sometimes they would ask me for some money to go out and play for two days.
I naively thought they were just playing outside.
Now it seems that they should be looking at Lu Zhoushan and Qin Zhirou.
And the two children they had?
After recalling all the stupid things she had done in the past, Gu Qiangwei suddenly felt a warmth in her heart, and the next second, a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth.
She just felt dizzy.
