Chapter 1: Only before she died did she discover that her husband's death was faked
"This is the fate of a jinx!"
"You deserve it! Disaster! Who told you to kill my son? You must suffer untold torture, a life worse than death!"
Harsh and unpleasant words came through the shabby door. Lin Wanqing had heard such words for most of her life, but recently because of her paralysis, the old woman's cursing became even more severe, and her words were mixed with the pleasure of revenge.
Lin Wanqing had never refuted it from the beginning, and now she didn't want to say anything. Maybe she really didn't know what was going on, maybe she deserved to suffer.
However, the person outside the door didn't want to let her go.
A basin of bloody and foul-smelling dog blood was poured over her head and face.
"Lord of Hell, please take her away quickly, take away this jinx!"
“Cough… cough… cough…”
Lin Wanqing was choked by the dog blood and started coughing violently. Her heart, liver, spleen and lungs were pulled with excruciating pain.
She's really had enough of days like this!
It is now the coldest time of the year, with biting cold winds. There is no warmth in the dilapidated adobe house, and water freezes instantly.
The worn bedding was stiff as a board, and she curled up there motionless, with feces and urine stuck in her crotch, a foul stench permeating the air, and half of her body had rotted into rotting flesh.
"Guodong, Guodong, when will you come to pick me up..." She cried with empty eyes.
Guodong was her husband who died early.
When the factory exploded, Lin Wanqing's husband and his twin brother went to put out the fire, but only one of them came back.
Lin Wanqing became a widow. These days, losing a man is like losing your confidence. Lin Wanqing became the one who depended on others for survival.
My eldest uncle would cry poor from time to time, saying how difficult life was in the city. My mother-in-law would then use threats and inducements, and she had to contribute all the pocket money and property left to her by her parents.
Even so, she still had to face the dissatisfaction of her sister-in-law and the resentment of her mother-in-law, and had to get up early and stay up late every day to do laundry and cook.
Apart from missing her husband who had passed away early and was the only one who cared for her after her parents died, she had no hope in life, and the days passed like this year after year...
After she collapsed in bed due to overwork, her son ignored her, her uncle and sister-in-law stayed away from her as if she didn't exist, and her mother-in-law stood at her door and insulted her day after day.
"Guodong, wait for me, wait for me..."
The hoarse throat was filled with wails, as powerful as a broken bellows. Lin Wanqing took a few deep breaths and lay on the cold kang, her chest rising and falling. She was breathing in more than she was breathing out.
"Haha, you are really infatuated."
A female voice was shrill, full of sarcasm and irony, and it came from far away. Lin Wanqing's eyes moved and she saw three people walking in from the door.
My uncle and his wife were standing side by side, dressed in fancy clothes.
My sister-in-law fanned herself with her hand in disdain. "Tsk, Lin Wanqing, you didn't expect this would be your fate, did you? Aren't capitalist daughters the most particular about respectability?"
Lin Wanqing turned a deaf ear to them and looked past the two of them at the young man standing at the door.
A glimmer of hope finally came into her cloudy eyes, and Lin Wanqing felt like she had grabbed the last straw.
"Son, son..."
She hadn't seen her son for several years, and her eyes looking at him were filled with longing and earnest hope.
But her son stood at the door, looking at her indifferently.
As a son, he turned a blind eye to his mother's suffering!
Why? Why! Lin Wanqing opened her mouth, then closed it with trembling lips, ultimately leaving the question unanswered.
Yes, who would want to have such an unworthy mother? She would only hinder her children.
But her heart skipped a beat, filled with bitterness.
"Look, the eldest daughter of the capitalist family has missed you all her life." The sister-in-law curled her lips and nudged the man next to her with her elbow. "Don't you feel very accomplished?"
What does this mean?
Lin Wanqing looked panicked, her cloudy eyes staring straight at the man in front of her.
The man had the same facial features as her husband.
The man curled his lips and smiled with some pride.
"Lin Wanqing, you didn't expect that I'm still alive."
"Since I was little, I've been like a dog around you. I don't even have the dignity of a man. Do you think I really love you?"
"All I'm interested in is your Lin family's wealth. You're an only child, and I'm just the right person to make a fortune."
"Now that my eldest brother is dead, it's only natural for me to take over his place. I can spend my life with the person I love and get rid of you at the same time. How wonderful! It's like killing two birds with one stone!"
"Looking at your selfless dedication to our family and your hardworking dedication, I didn't kick you out. I'm doing you a great favor by not kicking you out."
The man's mouth opened and closed, his tone was sarcastic and complacent, and every word that came out was like a knife, stabbing her heart fiercely.
Lin Wanqing grabbed the bed sheet and struggled to crawl forward, with blood oozing between her teeth and lips.
It was not until now that she learned the truth. It turned out to be like this, like this...
Her life was drained of her bones by people's schemes. The son she raised despised her, and the person she loved and missed all his life didn't treat her as a human being.
She lived a lie all her life but worked hard without complaint.
"How dare you treat me like this, treat me like this..."
Blood surged in Lin Wanqing's throat. She pursed her lips tightly, but blood still dripped from the corners of her mouth. She struggled to stretch out her hand, wishing she could strangle the person in front of her to death.
In the end, the withered hand didn't even touch the corner of the man's clothes. It stopped in mid-air, trembled, and fell to the edge of the kang.
Lin Wanqing died in the winter. She was wrapped in a straw mat and thrown directly into a mass grave to be eaten by wild dogs. It was an undignified and unwilling death.
Lin Wanqing seemed to be dreaming in a trance, dreaming of her tragic life, and each scene passed by quickly like a passing show.
Suddenly the dream ended, so abruptly that it caught everyone off guard, and Lin Wanqing woke up.
"We must make it clear with her today and ask her to take out the money left by the Lin family. This family, inside and out, depends on us to run it. We need money for everything!"
"Humph, she's just a spoiled daughter of a capitalist. She does nothing but rely on others for support. If you don't pay her, who will serve her?"
"What's the point of raising them? They are my brother's wife and children. We are a family. From now on, I can only ask you to take more responsibility for them."
"I can bear it, but it will be difficult for you in the future. You are the only man left in the family, and I have to rely on you for everything. It's too hard."
The light in front of her was so bright that it was a bit dazzling, and Lin Wanqing subconsciously raised her hand to block it.
Seeing that she was awake, he immediately shut up his chattering mouth, looked at her, pulled the corner of his mouth awkwardly, and said to the person next to him: "Here, you're awake."
It was her sister-in-law Yang Aihua, who was very young. Judging from her clothes, she was only in her twenties.
Standing next to her was Zhang Guodong.
Lin Wanqing then realized something was wrong. She was leaning sideways on the bed, looking like she had just fainted.
This scene was extremely familiar. It was clearly her husband Zhang Guodong. No, it should be the seventh day after Zhang Guoliang's death. Only then did Lin Wanqing realize that she was reborn.
At this moment, her blood seemed to boil, and rushed to her throat in one breath. She rushed towards Zhang Guodong like crazy.
