The person who pushed me was my cousin, Su Wenli. She had also taken the college entrance exam, but she failed. She wanted to go to university in my place, so only by dying could she be at ease and go to university in my place once and for all. After I died, my soul wandered around, and I only learned all this when I drifted to my uncle's house.
In my past life, I fell into the mountains and she claimed to have saved me. My whole family believed her. Now, just like today, her family is coming to our door demanding 100 yuan from my parents. In my past life, I had no proof, and because we trusted Su Wenli, we didn't question her. In the end, my parents were forced to give her 100 yuan, which they borrowed from the village head and the brigade leader. They repaid the debt using work points and money my father earned from odd jobs in town during the off-season. It took two years to pay it off. During those two years, our family didn't eat a single grain of white rice or a single piece of meat; we ate small, ugly sweet potatoes, corn, and bitter wild vegetables.
After I died, my mother couldn't bear the shock and fell into a coma. When she woke up, she couldn't recognize people and would just stay in my room looking for me every day. She would also run to the cliff where I had the accident to look for me. My father had to go to work every day, take care of my mother, and deal with my grandparents. My uncle's family would come over from time to time to freeload. If they didn't give them anything, they would take it away, taking everything they could eat and use.
A few years later, Mother's health deteriorated. One day, she went to the edge of a cliff, jumped off, and never woke up again. Father took rat poison and followed her to the afterlife the night after Mother's funeral.
Mom and Dad, I'm so sorry. If I hadn't mistakenly believed Su Wenli was my savior and hadn't listened to her every word and worked tirelessly for her, my uncle's family wouldn't have had the opportunity to force you to give them money. You worked so hard for two years, ruining your health. I listened to her and gave her the chance to kill me, causing Mom to suffer a mental breakdown and ultimately lose her life. It also caused Dad to struggle to support the family, taking care of Mom while working, and he too eventually lost his life.
I was unfilial to my parents, and I was powerless to stop my enemies from living happily. I fell into the mountains and woke up unconscious, and that's how I was reborn. That's why today's ending is different from my previous life. My aunt wanted 100 yuan because my eldest cousin, Su Wenxing, is getting married, and it was agreed that the bride's family would give 100 yuan as a bride price. So today, she wants to force you to give her 100 yuan no matter what. Later, Su Xingran also talked about what her grandparents and uncle's family did to her parents in the years after her death.
Su's parents were both heartbroken and furious. They were heartbroken that their daughter had died so young, and that they, along with their husband, had perished—none of the three family members had met a peaceful end. They were furious that Su Wenli had so cruelly murdered Ranran, a wolf in sheep's clothing. And what their parents, elder brother, and sister-in-law had done was utterly inhuman.
Parents, a family like theirs is inherently bad; we must sever all ties with them. Even though we've separated our household, there's no written agreement, and they come to cause trouble every now and then. Life will never be peaceful like this.
I can't forgive my parents and their family, including my grandparents. Our family has already been murdered once. Even if I could start over, if I can't prove my innocence today, the outcome will be the same as in my previous life.
Su's parents pulled Su Xingran aside and said solemnly, "Ranran, our family must be well. If you don't forgive them, your parents won't forgive them either. Although your parents haven't experienced the pain you've gone through, we will agree with whatever you say."
The family of three told each other everything. After the confession, Su Xingran felt relieved. She no longer had to keep this secret and live cautiously by herself. As for the space, she would talk about it later.
After Su Xingran returned to her room to rest, her parents also went back to their room and sat by the bed. Su's mother broke down in tears again. When Xingran had said she was dead, a picture flashed through her mind: Xingran lying motionless at the bottom of a cliff, covered in blood. Her heart ached instantly, and so did Su's father. The couple decided that their daughter was the most important person in the world, and from now on they would listen to her completely. Having regained her, they were determined to cherish this opportunity and never again suffer the tragedy of a parent outliving their child.
