"Haha, Xu Lai, Xu Chao, our two families are close relatives. Since you two siblings are going to die anyway, it's better to let our family fill our stomachs than let outsiders benefit from you!"
The pain of the cleaver cutting into her body, the heartache and despair of watching her younger brother being chopped into pieces by a bleeding boning knife, and the sight of blood everywhere made Xu Lai feel as if she were suffocating in a dark, deep sea.
"Lai Lai, Lai Lai!"
"No, Haiguo, Lailai is delirious with fever. Hurry up and get the car; we need to take Lailai to the hospital in the county town right away!"
"Okay, Qiu'e, you help Lai Lai put on her coat first, I'll go get the car now!"
Hearing her parents' incredibly kind voices again, Xu Lai thought that after being killed by her uncle's family, her soul had gone to the underworld to reunite with her parents.
Well, at least I have my parents and brother in the underworld. It's better than the hellish life I had when I was alive.
Thinking of this, Xu Lai breathed a sigh of relief. She tried to open her eyes, wanting to see her parents whom she had missed day and night when they were still alive.
As soon as I opened my eyes, what I saw was my mother, who was sweating profusely with worry, and my younger brother and second uncle standing anxiously beside her.
Xu Lai exclaimed with delight, "That's wonderful! My second uncle found our family in the underworld too! Our family of five is finally reunited!"
What? The underworld?
Unlike Xu Lai's happiness.
Song Qiu'e, who was putting a coat on her daughter, and Xu Chao, a fifteen-year-old boy standing to the side, along with Xu Jiangming, an elder in his fifties next to the boy, were initially happy to see Xu Lai open her eyes while lying on the bed, but they were terrified by her words.
Xu Lai actually said that his family of five had reunited in the underworld, and the three of them, who hadn't even had time to be happy, became extremely anxious.
"Oh no, Lai Lai is starting to talk nonsense! Qiu'e, move aside! I'll carry Lai Lai to the front gate. The Hai Kingdom's car should be here soon!"
A high fever can damage the brain!
Worried that his granddaughter wouldn't be able to handle it, Xu Jiangming immediately took two steps forward, bent down and reached out, intending to carry his granddaughter to the doorstep first, so that as soon as his nephew drove over, they could immediately get in the car and go to the hospital.
"Second Uncle, let me do it!"
As soon as Xu Haiguo entered the room, he saw his second uncle's actions and immediately rushed over, placing one hand on his daughter's back and the other on the back of her legs.
He was young and strong, and had more strength.
Wearing spring and autumn pajamas, Xu Lai felt the warmth coming from her father's arm, which startled her again.
"What happened? Aren't we all dead? Dad, why is your arm warm?"
Xu Lai's words startled everyone in the room, causing them to freeze for a few seconds.
The first to react, Song Qiu'e, quickly placed her palm on her daughter's forehead.
My daughter has been talking nonsense one after another. Could it be that her temperature has risen again?
As soon as she touched her daughter's forehead, she discovered that her daughter's fever had subsided.
"Huh, Lai Lai's forehead isn't hot anymore. Has her fever broken?"
Just a few minutes ago, my daughter's forehead was burning hot, but in just a few minutes, her fever subsided.
Upon hearing his niece-in-law's words, Xu Jiangming, who was standing to the side, quickly reached out his rough palm and placed it on his granddaughter's forehead to test it.
"Lai Lai's forehead is definitely not hot anymore!"
When Xu Haiguo heard from his second uncle and wife that his daughter's forehead was no longer hot, he quickly and gently placed his daughter on the bed and touched her forehead as well. Sure enough, she no longer had a fever.
"Second Uncle, Mom and Dad, please take my sister's temperature again with a thermometer!"
Xu Chao, a high school freshman, immediately offered his suggestion.
"Ah, right, right, take my temperature again with a thermometer!"
Song Qiu'e immediately took out the mercury thermometer that was next to the pillow, shook it, and then, after glancing at the mercury that had been shaken off, she immediately put the thermometer under her daughter's armpit.
Xu Lai, who thought she had gone to the underworld, opened her eyes to watch her family's actions.
After looking up and observing the familiar layout of the room for a while, and glancing at the sunlight streaming in through the window, she finally realized that she had not gone to the underworld, but had been reborn.
Xu Lai was reborn in her previous life during the Qingming Festival, when her family of four returned to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors and visit her second great-uncle.
It was also the same day that her parents died in a car accident.
Seeing her parents constantly asking if she felt unwell, Xu Lai was overjoyed and burst into tears.
She remembered that during the Qingming Festival holiday in her previous life, her parents took her and her younger brother from the city back to their hometown to pay respects to their ancestors and visit their second great-uncle.
Then, on the second day of the Qingming Festival, she fell ill with a high fever. On the way to the county hospital, her parents encountered a large cement mixer coming from the opposite direction. While her father was trying to avoid it, the brakes of their car suddenly failed, and the mixer hit them.
The car was overturned on the spot, and the father was crushed by the cement mixer, suffering serious injuries and dying on the spot.
Her mother, who had been taking care of her the whole way from the back seat, held her tightly in her arms when the mixer crashed into her.
Ultimately, her mother was also seriously injured and spent a week in the intensive care unit, but she could not be saved.
Of the three people in the car, only she survived.
After her parents passed away, she lived with guilt every day.
If it weren't for her illness, her parents wouldn't have taken her to the county hospital, and they wouldn't have died in the accident on the way.
After their parents passed away and the funeral arrangements were completed, their second great-uncle, who had raised their father single-handedly, was worried about the two siblings and went with them to their house in the city.
A week later, her uncle's family of four, under the pretext of looking for work in the city, stayed at her house and refused to leave.
Subsequently, an unknown virus was released by the American Biological Research Institute.
A month later, continuous torrential rains swept across the globe.
After the torrential rains ended, a global heatwave followed.
The continuous man-made disasters and natural calamities led to extreme food shortages and social disorder. Her uncle's family of four not only forced her and her brother to prostitute themselves in exchange for supplies, but also ate them until there were no bones left.
Her second uncle, who was protecting her and her brother, had already been killed by her eldest uncle's family during the torrential rain disaster.
In her previous life, it wasn't until her death that her uncle, Xu Zhen, revealed the truth about her parents' deaths with a sinister smile.
The brakes on her family's car failed because her older cousin, Xu Yongqing, had deliberately tampered with them beforehand.
The reason is that she wants her family's house in the city and her parents' 1.6 million yuan compensation.
God knows how much she wanted to chop off the hands and feet of that family of four and scatter them on the oven-like road before she breathed her last.
Fortunately, she has now been reborn before her parents' car accident.
She was determined to live a good life with her parents, her second uncle, and her younger brother.
As for her uncle's family, those heartless bastards, she would definitely not let them get away with it!
