“I discovered that my sister’s boyfriend was two – timing.
She was having an abortion in the hospital while that scumbag was cuddling with a beauty and drinking at the KTV.
I advised my sister to break up with him, but she immediately moved in with the scumbag. ‘From now on, I’ll keep an eye on him 24 hours a day. Let’s see if he still dares to mess around!’ she said.
The scumbag thought I was meddling in their business and brought some people to teach me a lesson.
In a panic to escape, I ran recklessly and was hit and killed by a freight car.
After my death, my sister told the police, “I was with my boyfriend all day. This has nothing to do with him!”
I was reborn and found myself back on the day of my sister’s surgery.
My sister stood in front of me holding the test report. “What should I do? I can’t bear to part with this child!”
I forced a smile and said, “Then give birth to it. It’s the crystallization of your love!”
1
My car accident was ruled as a simple traffic accident.
My childhood friend Lin An stood at the police station entrance for a whole day and night, holding his phone which had the distress message I sent him before my death.
“I’m blocked in the alley at the school gate by Liu Yuankang. Call the police for me quickly!”
When I sent this message, I was hiding behind a stinking trash can, shivering.
My sister’s boyfriend, Liu Yuankang, was looking for me everywhere with some small hoodlums.
I didn’t dare to make a call, so I could only ask for help in this way.
Just after sending the distress message to Lin An, I was discovered by Liu Yuankang.
Liu Yuankang picked up a baseball bat, smashed my phone, and broke my right hand.
I grabbed a half – brick from the ground and smashed it hard at his foot.
Taking advantage of his pain, I ran out desperately.
I ran out of the alley and was hit and sent flying by an oncoming freight car, my body a bloody mess…
At first, the police also took this message seriously.
However, Liu Yuankang was too cunning.
He deliberately chose a path without surveillance to block me. After the incident, he flatly denied it, and with my sister’s alibi for him,
there was no substantial evidence to prove what he had done to me.
The matter was left unresolved.
The security uncle kindly handed Lin An a bottle of water. “Young man, you’d better go back. Even her own sister came out to testify. This was probably really an accident.”
Huh, what a wonderful sister.
I was sitting on a cloud, looking down on all this with a god’s – eye view.
My heart was completely cold.
I saw my dear sister crying in Liu Yuankang’s arms like a pear blossom in the rain.
“Yuanyuan is my own sister. I’m more sad than anyone when something happened to her! I lied to the police to protect you! I don’t care. You must swear now that if you don’t treat me well in the future, you’ll get your retribution! Be struck by lightning!”
I sneered.
If there really was retribution, my dear sister should be the first in line!
At this moment, an ethereal voice asked me, “Considering your good behavior during your lifetime, you are now rewarded with a chance to be reborn. You have three minutes to decide whether to accept it.”
Reborn?
Was there even a need to consider?
2
I chose to be reborn.
When I opened my eyes, I was standing in the hospital.
My sister was holding several test reports in her hand, her eyes red from crying. “Yuanyuan, I really can’t bear to abort this child! Do you think the child will blame me if it goes to heaven?”
I took a moment to collect myself, unable to believe that I had really been reborn.
I quickly pinched myself.
Ouch!
It really hurt!
Recalling my previous life.
After my sister found out she was pregnant, she actually wanted to give birth to the child, saying that this way she could tie Liu Yuankang firmly to her side.
I tried my best to persuade her. She was only a junior in college. If she took a leave of absence to have the child, her life would be over.
Moreover, Liu Yuankang was just a KTV waiter. The money he earned couldn’t even support himself, let alone her and the child.
After much coaxing and persuasion, my sister finally agreed to come to the hospital for the surgery with me.
Now.
My sister was still hesitating. “How about… we leave! After all, this is the flesh and blood of Kang Ge and me. I can’t be so cruel!”
“…”
I didn’t say anything.
Tears welled up in my sister’s eyes again. “Yuanyuan, you know that Mom and Dad have always disagreed with me being with Kang Ge. But if I give birth to the child, they probably won’t oppose us anymore, right?”
I had heard these words from her in my previous life.
At that time, I was so angry that I scolded her and forced her to enter the operating room, saying that I would tell our parents if she didn’t.
But now, I didn’t plan to do that.
Because I knew that after she came out of the operating room, she would call Liu Yuankang.
She would cry and complain to Liu Yuankang on the phone, saying that I forced her to abort their precious child.
Yes.
That’s exactly what my sister did in my previous life.
She successfully made Liu Yuankang hate me.
So, this time I chose to let go of my impulse to help.
I smiled and took my sister’s hand. “Since you’re so reluctant, then keep the child.”
“Ah?”
My sudden change of words surprised my sister.
I nodded and said seriously, “I’ve thought it over. You should be in charge of your own affairs. I’m still young and don’t understand matters of the heart. I shouldn’t interfere in your life.”
“Yuanyuan, you really…”
“You’re right. This child is the crystallization of your love. As your sister, I should respect your decision.” I had a serious expression.
Facing my sister’s astonished gaze, I calmly got up and walked out of the hospital.
My sister was stunned for a moment and then quickly followed me.
Just as we got into a taxi on the way home, my phone rang.
Lin An sent a message: “Is this your sister’s boyfriend?”
Attached was a picture: Liu Yuankang was cuddling with a hot – bodied beauty, being affectionate in the KTV corridor.
In my previous life, I received this photo after my sister entered the operating room.
Without thinking, I told my sister about it.
My sister went crying to question Liu Yuankang.
Liu Yuankang wasn’t flustered at all.
He immediately turned the tables. “You even sent someone to spy on me?”
“I… I didn’t! This was taken by my sister’s classmate!” My sister sold me out without thinking.
Liu Yuankang was glib – tongued and lied to my sister, saying that he was just socializing with others for his performance.
He also said that if my sister could bring more friends to him to get a card, he wouldn’t have to work so hard.
My sister was coaxed by him a few words and believed him, promising to bring her classmates to the KTV to support him next week.
I advised my sister to break up with him quickly.
But she told me, “Don’t worry. I’ll move to his place tomorrow. I’ll watch him every day. He won’t have a chance to mess around with others!”
My sister did what she said. The next day, she moved out of the dormitory and moved in with Liu Yuankang.
And a few days later, Liu Yuankang came to me with a baseball bat…
Learning from the bloody lessons of the past.
This time, I didn’t hesitate to delete the photo Lin An sent.
I quickly typed four words on the keyboard: “Mind your own business!”
3
Later, my sister still found out about Liu Yuankang’s infidelity.
That day, my sister and I had originally agreed to go to the library together, but I had something urgent, so my sister went to the KTV where Liu Yuankang worked to find him in advance.
Shortly after my sister left, I received a call from her.
“Yuanyuan, I’m going to abort the child. I’m going to break up with Liu Yuankang!” She was crying her heart out on the phone.
I pretended to be confused. “Sister, what’s wrong? What happened?”
“That bastard Liu Yuankang! He’s with another woman!” My sister tearfully accused, “As soon as I got to the KTV entrance, I saw him kissing that fox spirit! If I hadn’t come early today, I wouldn’t have known how long I’d be deceived by him!”
“That’s too much! How could he do this?” I echoed my sister.
Lin An was sitting next to me, holding the milk tea I just bought for him in his left hand, and on his right – hand phone was the KTV surveillance video.
My sister and Liu Yuankang didn’t know yet –
The KTV where Liu Yuankang worked was owned by Lin An’s family.
To help me, Lin An found the account and password for remotely managing the KTV surveillance cameras from his father’s phone.
With just a mobile phone, he could monitor the situation in the KTV in real – time.
Half an hour ago, I received a message from Lin An.
He saw that Liu Yuankang had brought the same hot – tempered girl to the KTV again.
That’s why I pretended that the class teacher was looking for me and asked my sister to go to Liu Yuankang in advance.
Seeing Liu Yuankang’s infidelity with her own eyes, my sister was heart – broken and even shouted that she didn’t want to live anymore.
I comforted my sister on the phone while taking a taxi to the KTV.
As soon as I got out of the car, I heard Liu Yuankang scolding my sister. “Can you stop being so unreasonable! I’ve told you, that’s my client! If I don’t maintain a good relationship with her, how can I get my performance?”
“But I’ve already recharged more than two thousand yuan for a card! All my living expenses have been…”
“Two thousand? What can that do? Do you know how much it costs to raise a child? If I don’t earn more now, what will happen to you and the child in the future?”
Liu Yuankang was full of excuses.
Obviously, he was the one who cheated, but now he made it seem like it was for my sister and the child.
My worldview was shattered.
The ridiculous thing was that my sister was actually persuaded by him.
“Are you telling the truth? You really have nothing to do with that woman? Then why were you hugging and… kissing her just now?”
“It’s all just a show on the wine table! How can you be so naive? You don’t even understand this?”
Liu Yuankang’s excuse was exactly the same as in my previous life.
And my sister, like in my previous life, was quickly coaxed into submission.
Seeing me coming, Liu Yuankang excused himself to go to work and asked my sister to take a taxi back.
I walked over and handed my sister a tissue.
My sister wiped her tears and looked at me with full of expectation. “Yuanyuan, you heard what he said. So, should I believe him?”
“Of course you should believe him!” I replied without hesitation.
I knew that in fact, my sister didn’t really want to break up with Liu Yuankang. She just needed a trash can to vent her emotions.
And I was that trash can.
In my previous life, every time she quarreled with Liu Yuankang, she would come to me to cry.
Every time, I seriously advised her to break up and stay away from the scumbag.
But what about her?
She would immediately throw herself into Liu Yuankang’s arms and show him the chat records between me and her. “Look, my sister advised me to break up with you and said that I deserve someone better. But I still only want to be with you wholeheartedly! You have to treat me well in the future and make it up to me double!”
There’s an old saying, right?
Good advice can’t persuade a person determined to go astray!
On the way back to school.
Seeing that my sister was still in a low mood, I advised her, “Sister, if you don’t trust Kang Ge so much, you might as well get married to him as soon as possible. After getting married, he won’t be able to leave you for the rest of his life.”
“I also want to get married early! But I’m not graduated yet. How could Mom and Dad agree to my marriage?”
“Getting engaged first is also okay. Anyway, Mom and Dad will find out about your pregnancy sooner or later. As long as you talk to them properly, they will support your choice.”
“No, no! If Mom and Dad find out, they will definitely force me to abort the child! I can’t let them find out so soon… At least, at least until the child is over three months old! I read online that after three months, you can’t have an abortion!”
After my well – intentioned reminder, my sister decided to hide the pregnancy from our parents, stabilize the fetus first, and then get engaged to Liu Yuankang immediately.
What happened today made her feel uneasy.
She was afraid that she would be abandoned by Liu Yuankang with a big belly in the future, and she desperately wanted to trap that scumbag with a marriage certificate.
But she would never understand.
From beginning to end, it was only herself who was trapped in this abnormal relationship!
4
With my encouragement, my sister made up her mind to give birth to the child for Liu Yuankang and marry him.
“After the child is born, Kang Ge will never be able to leave me. Even if he doesn’t want me, he can’t not want his own son! At that time, our family of three will be happy, and Mom and Dad will bless us!”
My sister was imagining her beautiful future.
But I knew that the future she imagined would never come.
Liu Yuankang was hiding far more secrets from her than she thought.
My sister was worried that Mom and Dad would find out about her pregnancy and force her to abort the child.
So, she lied to Mom and Dad, saying that she had to participate in school activities on weekends this semester and had no time to go home.
Just like that, my sister hid in school to raise the fetus, and the child in her belly was soon more than three months old.
Affected by the pregnancy, she began to have symptoms such as morning sickness and her abdomen gradually bulged.
Before long, some unpleasant rumors spread in the school.
One day, Mom suddenly called me. “My dear girl, your sister hasn’t been home for two months. Is she hiding something from us?”
“Mom, why would you think so?”
“This morning, when I was shopping, I heard two students from your school talking about a junior girl in the English department who was pregnant and walking around the school with a big belly! Tell me, is this proper?” Mom was extremely anxious.
English department.
Junior year.
That was my sister’s major and grade.
“Walking around with a big belly” was a bit of an exaggeration.
It was just that my sister was originally thin, and her belly was indeed more obvious after pregnancy.
I originally thought that these rumors were only spreading in the school, but I didn’t expect Mom and Dad to know so soon.
This was exactly what I wanted.
I thought for a while and replied to Mom tactfully, “Mom, don’t think too much. How could my sister be so absurd? I had dinner with her yesterday. She’s been doing well recently and has even gained a lot of weight!”
“Gained weight?”
My mom knew something was wrong as soon as she heard this.
My sister had a non – chubby physique since she was a child. Relatives in the family often said that she was like Sister Lin in ‘A Dream of Red Mansions’, as delicate as a willow in the breeze.
Hearing me say this, Mom immediately became vigilant. “My dear girl, tell Mom. Is your sister still with that young man named Liu recently?”
“Well…” I pretended to be in a difficult situation. “Mom, actually Liu Yuankang treats my sister very well. My sister said she wanted to eat sour oranges yesterday, and Liu Yuankang immediately bought her a big bag without hesitation. My sister is 21 years old this year. Isn’t it normal for her to be in a relationship?”
“Sour oranges? Your sister usually hates sour food the most. She wouldn’t eat sour oranges!”
Mom knew me and my sister’s preferences too well. Nothing could escape her eyes.
Just by my mention of sour oranges, she immediately drove to the school and took my sister back.
Facing Mom and Dad’s questioning, my sister initially denied it firmly.
However, at dinner in the evening, as soon as my sister smelled the broth Mom stewed, she couldn’t help running to the bathroom and vomiting for a long time.
The lie was exposed.
My sister was crying and begging, hoping that Mom and Dad would let her keep the child, but it had the opposite effect.
Mom and Dad scolded her for being unchaste and almost hit her.
My sister had a big fight with Mom and Dad, grabbed her phone and was about to run away from home to find Liu Yuankang.
Mom chased after her to pull her back, but was pushed to the ground by her.
“Mom! Are you okay?!”
I didn’t expect my sister to do this and quickly ran to help Mom up.
Fortunately, Mom wasn’t injured.
My sister just looked back at Mom and then continued to run out.
Seeing this, Dad was furious and dragged my sister back, locking her in her own room.
Mom and Dad made an appointment with a doctor and planned to take my sister to have the surgery as soon as it was light.
I cut some fruits to comfort Mom.
Mom was so angry that she cried and had several more white hairs.
I have a heavy heart.
I remembered my previous life.
After my accident, Mom was so anxious that she had a heart attack and was admitted to the ICU. Dad, while taking care of Mom, was also running around asking people to investigate the truth of the car accident. His hair turned white overnight…
And my dear sister could only hide and cry in Liu Yuankang’s rental house!
Thinking of these, I became more determined.
In this life, I must not be soft – hearted towards my sister.
I had already given her two chances.
If she had chosen to break up resolutely when she saw Liu Yuankang cheating; or if she had obediently listened to Mom and Dad and aborted the child…
Then, everything might have gone back to the way it was.
Unfortunately –
Those with a love – struck mind are incurable!
5
Late at night.
I was waiting by my phone, and sure enough, I received a message from my sister.
“Yuanyuan, are Mom and Dad asleep? Help me open the door. I want to go find Kang Ge!”
Mom and Dad had taken away my sister’s phone, but they had overlooked that there was an old phone in her room.
Even without a SIM card, it could still be used as long as it was connected to the WIFI.
Without hesitation, I took out the key I had prepared in advance and secretly opened the door of my sister’s room.
My sister thanked me profusely, saying that I was the savior of her son.
I smiled at her and only replied, “Hurry up. Liu Yuankang is waiting for you!”
Just like that, my sister ran out of the house with an old phone and a few dozen yuan in change.
About an hour after she left, Lin An’s message also came.
“It’s really lively tonight.”
Lin An sent a video that was forty minutes long.
It was the surveillance video of his family’s KTV.
In the video, after my sister arrived at the KTV, she stood in the hall the whole time, calling and sending messages to Liu Yuankang on WeChat.
But there was no response from Liu Yuankang.
My sister got anxious waiting and asked the front desk which room Liu Yuankang was in, then rushed directly to the room to find him.
A few minutes later, my sister ran out of the room crying.
Following that, a rich woman dressed in jewels came out of the room.
The rich woman walked out angrily, and Liu Yuankang was chasing after her desperately.
Yes.
Liu Yuankang didn’t pay any attention to my sister at all and directly chased after the rich woman.
The camera turned to the entrance of the KTV.
Liu Yuankang blocked the rich woman’s luxury car, bowing and smiling obsequiously.
Suddenly, my sister rushed out from nowhere, scratching and biting the rich woman, and even pulling off the big gold chain around the rich woman’s neck.
The rich woman was so scared that she was trembling, and Liu Yuankang quickly stepped forward to play the hero, pushing my sister to the ground with one shove.
My sister rolled on the ground, clutching her belly.
More and more people gathered around to watch, forming a circle and pointing at my sister, but no one stepped forward to help her.
The rich woman got into the car, and the driver stepped on the gas and drove away.
Liu Yuankang once again abandoned my sister and chased after the luxury car for a long time.
Finally, unable to catch up with the car, he was so angry that he slapped my sister hard in the face…
After watching this melodramatic scene.
I frowning sent a message to Lin An: “What happened next?”
Before Lin An could reply, I heard the anxious voices of Mom and Dad outside the room.
Dad: “The city hospital called. They said Tongtong is in the emergency room!”
Mom: “What’s going on? How did she sneak out?!”
Dad: “Let’s go to the hospital first!”
Tongtong is my sister’s name.
The hospital called my dad directly. It seemed that the situation was not optimistic.
I quickly put on my clothes and followed them out.
“Mom and Dad, I’ll go with you!”
6
At the hospital.
As soon as my parents and I got out of the elevator, we heard the conversation between Liu Yuankang and his mother.
Liu Yuankang: “Sister Qiu spent tens of thousands of yuan in the store last month. Of course I have to please her! How could I know that crazy woman would suddenly jump out! It’s all her fault, ruining my good deed!”
Liu’s mom: “But you can’t hit her! She’s carrying my precious grandson in her belly!”
Liu Yuankang: “Who knew she was so delicate? A little push and she fell…”
Liu’s mom: “Alas, that girl is so thin and scrawny. She doesn’t look sturdy at all! I don’t know if my precious grandson can be saved!”
Liu Yuankang: “If it’s gone, it’s gone. Anyway, there are plenty of women willing to have children for me!”
Liu’s mom: “You unfilial son! This is a clean – cut college student! In the future, when it gets out, our family will have so much face in the village! What kind of people are those other women! I don’t think much of them!”
Liu Yuankang’s mother had a loud voice, and her words could be heard throughout the corridor.
Several passing nurses shook their heads when they heard it, and you can imagine how ugly expression my parents were.
My mom couldn’t hold back her anger and rushed over to slap Liu Yuankang. “You damned bastard!”
“Hey, who are you?! How dare you hit my son?!”
Liu Yuankang was hit, and of course Liu’s mom wasn’t happy. She rolled up her sleeves and was about to scratch my mom’s face.
At this time, the ward door opened.
The doctor came out and stopped a fight that hadn’t even started yet.
“The child is okay, but the mother’s body is relatively weak and needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days.”
“My grandson is saved?!”
Hearing the doctor’s words, Liu’s mom was so happy that she couldn’t close her mouth.
But my parents’ faces were as black as if they had smeared coal ash.
My sister was lying on the hospital bed.
Seeing my parents coming, she lowered her head guiltily and didn’t speak.
My mom had a stern face and said, “This child must not be kept!”
“Ouch! Sister – in – law, what are you saying?” After learning the relationship between my parents and my sister, Liu’s mom completely changed her tone.
But no matter what she and Liu Yuankang said, my parents turned a deaf ear and insisted that my sister abort the child.
My sister was slapped hard by Liu Yuankang tonight and now looked completely hopeless. Although she didn’t immediately agree to my parents, she didn’t even look at Liu Yuankang either.
Sensing that something was wrong, Liu Yuankang immediately knelt down in front of my sister, crying and sniveling.
“Tongtong, I was wrong today! I’m not a human! I’m a jerk! For the sake of the child, please forgive me!”
“Yes, yes! Today’s matter was really Xiaokang’s fault. I’ve already scolded him just now! Tongtong, don’t worry. When you marry into our family in the future, I, your mother – in – law, will back you up! He won’t dare to bully you again!” Liu’s mom chimed in beside him.
The two of them talked for a long time, but my sister remained unmoved.
My dad couldn’t stand it anymore and was about to drive this mother – son pair out.
Liu Yuankang got anxious and immediately slapped himself several times.
“Tongtong! I really know I was wrong! I hit you out of anger today. Now I’ll punish myself ten times, a hundred times! As long as you’re not angry, I’ll do anything you want! Didn’t you say you wanted to get engaged early? We’ll get engaged as soon as you’re discharged from the hospital, okay?”
Liu Yuankang’s slaps were so loud that his face turned red.
My sister, who hadn’t spoken, finally looked up at him. “What if you mess around with others again in the future?”
“Xu Tongtong!” My mom was so angry that her hands were shaking.
Liu Yuankang quickly swore to my sister. “Dear wife, don’t worry! I’ll definitely draw a clear line from others in the future! If I do anything to hurt to you again, may I be childless and die a bad death!”
As soon as he called her “wife”, my sister’s face immediately showed anticipation for Liu Yuankang again.
After a moment, she firmly said to my parents, “Mom and Dad, I still want to give him a chance. I want to keep this child.”
“Xu Tongtong! Say that again if you have the guts!” My mom was furious.
Liu’s mom grinned happily and stepped forward to pull my mom aside. “Ouch, sister – in – law! You’re an elder. Why don’t you wish the children well? That’s your grandson! How can you be so heartless?!”
“Let go! Who’s your sister – in – law?!” My mom shook off Liu’s mom and questioned my sister. “Xu Tongtong, think it through. If you don’t listen to me today, you don’t have to recognize me as your mother in the future!”
“Don’t recognize then! You’re so cruel to my child. You don’t deserve to be the child’s grandparents anyway!”
My sister shouted at my mom without thinking.
It seemed that she had been brainwashed a lot by Liu Yuankang and his mother.
Hearing these words, my parents were completely heartbroken.
My mom, who had never hit my sister before, was so angry that she raised her hand to hit her.
Liu Yuankang stepped forward and pushed my mom hard. “Try to touch my wife!”
He was the abuser an hour ago, but now he suddenly became the protector.
It was really ironic.
My mom was in poor health and staggered a few steps, almost falling. I quickly reached out to support her.
But when I turned around, my dad had already rushed forward and started fighting with Liu Yuankang.
“You bastard! You’re ruining my daughter!”
I had never seen my dad so angry.
In my memory, he was always smiling at everyone, and the neighbors all praised him for his good temper.
As a husband and a father, his bottom line was his wife and two daughters.
My nose felt sour.
I rushed forward and separated my dad and Liu Yuankang.
In the chaos, I was punched several times by Liu Yuankang.
But I didn’t care about the pain. I just wanted to protect my parents.
My dad was never one to fight with others, and naturally, he couldn’t beat Liu Yuankang, who hung around the streets every day.
If they continued to fight, only my dad would suffer.
Soon, the doctors and nurses also rushed over, and everyone pulled the two of them apart.
Seeing my dad’s face was bruised and purple, I felt really bad.
My mom supported my dad and choked back tears as she asked my sister, “Xu Tongtong, have you really thought it through? Do you really want to be with this kind of man in the future?”
“It was Dad who started it! Kang Ge fought with Dad to protect me!” My sister hid behind Liu Yuankang and shouted at my mom.
Hearing this, my dad was so angry that he turned around and left.
My mom was heartbroken. She pointed at my sister, wanting to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t say a word.
I helped my mom leave the ward.
Before walking out the door, I heard Liu’s mom happily say to my sister, “Don’t be sad, girl! Don’t get angry and hurt my big fat grandson! Your parents are heartless, but you have your mother – in – law to love you! When you give birth to my precious grandson, you can have anything you want…”

Half a month later.
In the school, rumors about my sister were flying everywhere.
My sister’s pregnant belly became more and more obvious, and she was pointed at wherever she went.
Helplessly, the school leaders talked to her and helped her handle the suspension.
After suspending school, my sister started her “happy life” of a family of three in advance.
However, the lovely son she imagined was replaced by Liu Yuankang’s mom.
To take care of the child in her belly, Liu’s mom moved from the countryside to live with them.
The three of them squeezed into a rental house of more than thirty square meters, seemingly harmonious.
A few days later.
My sister suddenly called me. “Yuanyuan, can you lend me some money?”
I had expected this call, and it came even faster than I thought.
I asked my sister what happened.
My sister was a bit hesitant to say. “Mom and Dad haven’t given me any living expenses recently, and Kang Ge is also short of money. We don’t even have money to buy groceries at home.”
“How could this happen? Didn’t your mother – in – law help you at all?”
“Alas, don’t mention it.” My sister sighed deeply. “Mom – in – law has been going out to play mahjong every day recently. As soon as Kang Ge got his salary, she lost it all in two days and even owed a lot of money! A few days ago, the debt collectors came to the door and smashed up all the things at home!”
“Goodness, were you guys hurt?”
“We’re okay, but we really have no money now. The prenatal check – up has been postponed, and the medical bill from the last hospitalization hasn’t been settled yet. It’s okay for us adults to suffer, but I have a child in my belly…”
My sister poured out her grievances. “Yuanyuan, I’m really at the end of my rope. I can only ask you for help!”
My sister was sobbing on the other end of the phone.
But I felt no waves in my heart.
I had long known that things would come to this.
Lin An had inquired for me a long time ago. Liu Yuankang’s family was a bottomless pit!
Liu’s mom loved playing cards in the countryside and could sit at the card table all day. Liu’s dad was an alcoholic and often got drunk and caused trouble in the village.
Although Liu Yuankang was the only son, he had many cousins with the same surname, and none of them were easy to deal with.
Since they knew that Liu Yuankang was working in the city, the Liu family members had come to the KTV several times.
I don’t know what kind of nonsense Liu Yuankang boasted in the village, but as soon as the Liu family members entered the KTV, they shouted that they were relatives of General Manager Liu and asked the manager to serve the most expensive wine.
Liu Yuankang was just a waiter. He didn’t have that much face.
Every time this happened, he would pretend to be rich and treat those relatives to food and drinks at his own expense.
After a while, he owed the store several thousand yuan just for the wine money…
Now, from my sister’s tone, it seemed that she probably didn’t know about these messy things in the Liu family at all.
I told her that I didn’t have much money either and couldn’t help her.
But then I changed my tone and said to her, “Sister, there’s another way.”
“What way?” she asked eagerly.
“Aren’t you about to get engaged? After you receive the engagement gifts, you should be able to have some more money, right?”
“Engagement…”
When it came to this, my sister fell silent again.
I asked her, “What’s wrong? Weren’t you guys on good terms? Could it be that he doesn’t want to get engaged to you again?”
“No, no. It’s just that he’s been too busy recently, so he hasn’t had time to arrange it.” My sister made excuses for Liu Yuankang.
But from her tone, it was not difficult to tell that she herself knew that being busy was just an excuse for Liu Yuankang.
And the real reason why Liu Yuankang kept delaying might not be able to be hidden for much longer…
Another week passed.
Under my sister’s repeated urging, the engagement banquet between her and Liu Yuankang was finally scheduled.
The location was set in a restaurant near the KTV.
My sister sent me an electronic invitation and indirectly asked me not to tell our parents about it.
Even now, she was still worried that our parents would try to break them up and ruin her lifelong happiness.
I had a video call with my sister.
I asked her, “His family is from Liujia Village, right? The engagement banquet is held so far away. Isn’t it inconvenient for his relatives in the countryside to come?”
“He said that having it in the countryside would wrong me, so he booked it in the city. Kang Ge is actually very good to me.” My sister had a happy look on her face in the camera.
I hadn’t seen her for more than a month, and she had become visibly haggard.
In the past, although she was thin, her complexion was ruddy, her skin was fair, and she always had an elegant and literary girlish air.
But now, she was sallow and emaciated, her eyes were dull, and she looked like a walking skeleton, with only her swollen belly sticking out.
She was holding the phone on the balcony to video – chat with me, and the background was a messy rental house full of garbage, with fast – food boxes, wine bottles, and cigarette butts everywhere.
She was wearing a yellowed and ill – fitting white T – shirt, stained with oil stains and with holes burned by cigarette butts.
Looking at this scene, I couldn’t help but sigh.
Half a year ago, my sister was a top student representing the school in the English speech competition.
I clearly remembered that when she was standing on the stage to receive the award, she seemed to have a dazzling light around her.
Yet, now she…
I could only give her a perfunctory blessing.
“Sister,wish you happiness.”

On the day of the engagement banquet, I went to the restaurant written on my sister’s invitation together with Lin An.
Although I had guessed in advance that the Liu family would be reluctant to spend money on the banquet, it was not until I saw the scene with my own eyes that I truly realized how stingy the Liu family could be.
The small restaurant in front of me was shabby and old. There were only two eight – person tables in the store. At Liu Yuankang’s request, the boss set up a shed at the door and added another table.
From the entrance to the inside of the store, there were oil stains everywhere, and green – headed flies were flying all over the place.
The poor hygiene situation…
Even the Shaxian snack bar next door was much cleaner.
If I hadn’t seen my sister and Liu Yuankang standing at the door greeting guests, I really wouldn’t have believed that someone would hold an engagement banquet in such a place!
I forced myself to walk in.
As soon as I entered the door, I heard Liu’s mom shouting in a loud voice, “Come on! Just give the red envelopes to me!”
I saw Liu’s mom carrying a big red backpack, specifically for collecting the guests’ gift money. Afraid that some people might come to eat and drink for free without preparing in advance, she even hung a payment code on her chest.
She looked like she was about to reach into the guests’ pockets and grab the money directly.
I handed the prepared red envelope to Liu’s mom. She pinched it to feel the thickness and then grinned in satisfaction, “Sit anywhere, sit anywhere!”
Lin An and I found a relatively clean corner and sat down.
Just as we sat down, several people came in at the door.
The one walking in the front was the KTV manager. He recognized Lin An. Seeing Lin An sitting inside, the manager was a bit surprised and then immediately wanted to come over to say hello.
Lin An put his index finger to his lips and made a shushing gesture.
The manager understood and led the other KTV colleagues to sit at another table.
Liu Yuankang had sent invitations to all the KTV employees. Except for those who had to work today, the rest came to support him, and everyone’s red envelopes were quite thick.
Liu’s mom’s mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
Frowning, some other people came in one after another. Most of them looked like students, and I was familiar with them. They were all my sister’s good friends since childhood.
Everyone was whispering and their expressions were hard to describe.
I raised my phone, took a few photos, and then excused myself to go to the bathroom and left my seat.
I left through the back door.
When I passed through the stinking kitchen, I heard the restaurant owner talking to Liu Yuankang’s father.
Restaurant owner: “Brother Liu, your son is really capable. He found a college student!”
Liu’s dad: “What’s so rare about a college student? If it weren’t for the fact that she’s pregnant, my son wouldn’t even look at her!”
Restaurant owner: “Bringing a college – educated daughter – in – law back home, the betrothal gift must cost a lot, right?”
Liu’s dad: “Look at her thin arms and legs. She doesn’t look like she can work! It’s good enough that our family is willing to take her. How dare she ask for a betrothal gift?”
Restaurant owner: “You got a daughter – in – law without spending a penny? How much dowry did her family give?”
Liu’s dad: “Her family is powerful and has a lot of money. They can’t have a son. In the future, all their money will be my son’s!”
Restaurant owner: “I heard from Sister – in – law that her family also has a little sister with a lot of ideas. You have to be careful!”
Liu’s dad: “A little girl, what’s there to be afraid of? They say that a sister – in – law has half her butt belonging to her brother – in – law! In the future, let my son teach her a lesson, and she’ll be obedient!”
The stench wafting from the kitchen made me feel nauseous.
I walked forward quickly, getting away from this stinking place.
The back door of the restaurant led to a dark alley, almost exactly the same as the place where I had an accident in my previous life.
I looked around with satisfaction, changed into a newly – bought unregistered phone card, and sent out the photos I had just taken on my phone.
Lin An sent me a message, asking, “Where are you?”
“Setting the stage.”
“This engagement banquet of your sister is really interesting. Neither family’s relatives have come.”
“Don’t worry. They’ll come soon.”
My sister had such a big fight with our parents that she certainly didn’t dare to mention the engagement to our relatives.
As for the Liu family’s relatives…
I had kindly informed them for Liu Yuankang.
By the way, I also informed a few of his “friends” for him.
9
About ten – odd minutes later.
My sister and Liu Yuankang were making a toast when suddenly a group of people burst into the restaurant.
“Yo, isn’t this Xiaokang? Such a big event as your engagement, why didn’t you say hello to us brothers?!”
The man leading the way had yellow hair and looked slovenly.
Lin An recognized him at a glance, “Liu Yuankang’s cousin? Tsk, he’s not coming with good intentions.”
Before, I had asked Lin An to help me look into Liu Yuankang’s family affairs.
This yellow – haired cousin was the one he found for me.
I frowned as soon as I saw the photo at that time.
In my previous life, when Liu Yuankang brought people to block me in the alley, this yellow – haired guy was the most ruthless.
The few people behind the yellow – haired man were also Liu Yuankang’s cousins.
But when Liu Yuankang saw them, he was like a mouse seeing a cat.
He quickly stepped forward and handed a cigarette, saying respectfully, “Brother, why are you free today…”
“Cut the crap!” The yellow – haired man slapped Liu Yuankang on the back of the head and said viciously, “You’ve held the banquet, and you should have received a lot of money, right? Pay back the money quickly! Otherwise, I’ll turn your happy event into a funeral!”
“Brother, don’t do this! We’re all family. Give me some face…”
“Give you face? Fuck you!”
The yellow – haired man didn’t have a single clean word in his mouth. As he spoke, he told his men to overturn the table at the door.
With this commotion, the guests inside didn’t want to get involved and took the opportunity to leave one after another.
In the blink of an eye, only Lin An and I were still sitting calmly in the restaurant.
Liu’s mom felt sorry for Liu Yuankang being beaten and quickly went up to stop them, “Xiaogang, we’re all family. What are you doing?!”
“Auntie, you still know we’re family? You promised to borrow ten thousand yuan and pay it back in a week. Calculate it yourself. How long has it been? Is this how you treat family?”
The yellow – haired man and his brothers worked in a financial company.
To put it bluntly, they were loan sharks.
Liu’s mom had lost all her money playing mahjong, and I secretly left a business card of the yellow – haired man at Liu Yuankang’s door.
Sure enough.
Liu’s mom really borrowed money from them.
During this period, the Liu family had tried every means to avoid the yellow – haired man, and they didn’t even dare to let the relatives in the village know about the engagement banquet.
If I hadn’t kindly sent the photo and location of the engagement banquet to the yellow – haired man, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to come and have a drink at this happy occasion.
Not getting along well, the yellow – haired man picked up a stick and started hitting and smashing things.
Liu’s mom was so scared that her face turned white. She shrank into a corner, shaking like a sieve.
At this time, someone reminded, “Brother Huangmao! The money is in Auntie’s bag!”
The yellow – haired man then focused on the big red wedding bag that Liu’s mom was holding tightly in her arms.
He snatched the bag and poured out the contents directly.
The red envelopes sealed by the guests scattered all over the ground.
The yellow – haired man’s eyes lit up, “You have money but didn’t tell me earlier?!”
“No, no! That’s my money! It’s mine…”
I don’t know where Liu’s mom got the courage, but she actually pounced on the ground, desperately protecting the red envelopes, not allowing the yellow – haired man and his men to take them.
But with just her alone, it was of no use.
The yellow – haired man kicked her away and reached out to pick up the thickest red envelope on the ground.
Liu’s mom was clutching her stomach, crying in pain, while her husband and her dear son had already run away in a panic, not knowing where to hide.
Lin An protected me behind him.
Over his shoulder, I saw my sister and Liu Yuankang squatting behind the cash register.
The ridiculous thing was that Liu Yuankang, a grown man, actually let my pregnant sister block the entrance of the cash register, while he himself shrank inside.
Looking at him, and then at Lin An.
I suddenly felt that my childhood friend, who was even afraid to watch horror movies, didn’t seem so cowardly anymore.
10
“Damn it! You guys dare to play me?!”
The yellow – haired man, who originally thought he could get the money, had a face as red as a pig’s liver after opening all the red envelopes on the ground.
It turned out that all the red envelopes scattered on the ground were filled with white pieces of paper!
There were only a few pitiful banknotes, and the total amount was probably less than a thousand yuan.
My sister was stunned in surprise.
Taking advantage of the fact that the yellow – haired man’s people didn’t notice, she grabbed the nearest piece of paper.
When she saw the words written on the paper, her face changed drastically.
All those pieces of paper on the ground were IOU notes written by Liu Yuankang himself!
In the past two years, Liu Yuankang had been working in the KTV and often borrowed money from his colleagues.
He didn’t borrow much each time, usually one or two hundred yuan. His colleagues couldn’t refuse, so they lent it to him.
As time passed, everyone had a lot of IOU notes from Liu Yuankang. Especially the manager, the money he lent to Liu Yuankang, added up, was almost ten thousand yuan.
However, every time they asked for the debt, Liu Yuankang always had an excuse to delay.
This made everyone miserable.
These things were told to Lin An by the manager when he was drunk.
So, Lin An came up with this idea for them.
Anyway, the money couldn’t be gotten back, so it was better to use the IOU notes to do a favor and avoid being cheated by Liu Yuankang again.
As for my big red envelope –
It was filled with all the awards my sister had brought home since she was a child.
Since childhood, Mom and Dad had always been proud of my sister.
The trophies my sister won in competitions, Dad bought a special cabinet to collect them, and her certificates were neatly pasted on the wall by Mom.
Until last time…
After Mom and Dad came back from the hospital, they didn’t sleep all night.
Early the next morning, Dad called a junk collector and sold all the trophies. The certificates on the wall were torn off and thrown into the trash.
I secretly picked up the certificates without telling Mom and Dad.
Today, I returned those torn certificates to my sister.
I thought this was the best dowry for her.
11
Not getting the money, the yellow – haired man and his group were furious.
After smashing things, they pointed the sticks in their hands at people.
I was well – prepared. I grabbed Lin An and ran towards the back door.
As I ran, I shouted to my sister, “Sister! Come this way!”
The front door was blocked tightly by the yellow – haired man and his people. My sister, Liu Yuankang and his family had no other choice but to follow me.
We fled to the alley.
Liu’s dad, who was walking at the end, was quick – eyed and hung the big lock of the restaurant’s back door, locking the yellow – haired man and his group inside.
We escaped for the time being.
“Kang Ge, what should we do now?” My sister’s face was pale.
Liu Yuankang wasn’t stupid, “They will definitely go to our place to block us. We can’t go back now. We have to find a place to hide first!”
“But where else can we go?”
My sister, who had never seen such a scene before, was so scared that her eyes were red. She was grabbing Liu Yuankang’s clothes and still shaking non – stop.
I stood aside and looked at the time.
At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the alley.
I knew that the Liu family couldn’t go anywhere today.
To avoid being implicated by Liu Yuankang, I quickly pulled Lin An and moved towards the entrance of the alley.
Outside, a large group of people swarmed into the alley, passing by us.
When we reached the entrance of the alley, I called the police first and then stopped to watch the show.
In the alley.
A girl wearing Martin boots took the lead and rushed straight towards Liu Yuankang.
“Who is she?” The girl in Martin boots pointed at my sister.
Liu Yuankang stammered and couldn’t say a word for a long time.
Before he could answer, another short – haired girl stepped forward and slapped him without hesitation.
“Liu Yuankang, how many women have you been two – timing?!”
In the crowd, three more women stood out one after another.
They were all victims deceived by Liu Yuankang.
Among them, there was a young girl who came to the city to work, an ungraduated student, and even a divorced aunt with a child.
In the past two years, they had all been deceived by Liu Yuankang’s sweet words and gave all the money they earned hard to the KTV to help Liu Yuankang boost his performance.
Lin An retrieved the customer information of the KTV and easily found the phone numbers of these people.
When I sent the location of the restaurant to the yellow – haired man and his group, I also sent a copy to Liu Yuankang’s girlfriends.
Moreover, the messages I sent were far more than five.
These girlfriends of Liu Yuankang had brought some people with them more or less. At this time, they blocked the Liu family in the alley, making it impossible to get through.
Some were crying, some were scolding, and some rolled up their sleeves and started hitting.
Before long, the yellow – haired man and his group also kicked open the back door of the restaurant and joined the fight.
In the alley, the sound of scolding and screaming never stopped.
By the roadside, a taxi stopped.
A limping rural girl got out of the car, followed by a big and tall brawny man.
The brawny man had a hideous scar on his face, winding from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ear, looking fierce and terrifying.
The two got out of the car and looked around as if they were looking for someone.
Soon, the brawny man saw Liu Yuankang in the alley by virtue of his height advantage.
The brawny man led the limping girl into the alley.
As they passed by me, I saw the brawny man take out a folding knife from his pocket.
The next second.
A painful scream from Liu Yuankang came from the alley.
“Help! Murder!”
12
The scene was too chaotic. Lin An and I were standing far away, and we couldn’t see clearly.
We only saw something being thrown onto the road from the alley.
Instantly, it was crushed into a pulp by a passing large truck.
It was only after we arrived at the hospital that I found out –
That was Liu Yuankang’s male organ.
It was cut off by the brawny man with the scar on his face!
The brawny man with the scar on his face was taken away by the police, while the limping girl who came with him stayed in the hospital.
When Liu Yuankang was being rushed into the operating room for rescue, the limping girl stared expressionlessly at the operating room door.
And Liu’s mom, who usually fought with others for her son at every turn, didn’t even dare to trouble the limping girl this time. She just sat there crying and wailing non – stop.
“My son… What evil have we done in the Liu family?!”
My sister was sitting next to Liu’s mom.
After so many things happened, she was scared silly. She neither spoke nor moved.
She was also beaten in the alley today. Her face and hands were covered with bruises.
Suddenly, the limping girl walked towards my sister.
She stared at her swollen belly, “Is the child in your belly Liu Yuankang’s?”
“Who… Who are you? What do you want?!” My sister nervously hugged her belly.
Liu’s mom also immediately stood up and blocked in front of my sister, “Yanhong, you… you don’t do anything stupid! I know Xiaokang treated you badly before! But now, he’s been made like this by your brother! This is the last bloodline of our Liu family… I’m begging you as a mother. Please let us go!”
“What’s the rush?” The girl called Yanhong sneered. “Don’t worry. I’m not that beast Liu Yuankang!”
After saying this, she turned around and left.
She walked with difficulty, dragging her lame leg.
I ran over to help her, but she refused.
At this time, my sister suddenly chased after her and grabbed Yanhong.
“What’s your relationship with Liu Yuankang?!”
“Enemy relationship.” Yanhong glared at my sister and shook off her hand.
My sister wanted to ask more questions, but I stepped forward and stopped her.
“Don’t bother her anymore.”
“Yuanyuan, do you know her?”
Watching Yanhong limp into the elevator, I sighed, “She is Liu Yuankang’s ex – wife.”
The term “ex – wife” wasn’t really appropriate.
If we really had to calculate, Yanhong and Liu Yuankang were never legally married.
Yanhong was raped by Liu Yuankang and got pregnant with his child.
The Liu family, in order to calm things down, held a banquet and took Yanhong into the family.
Yanhong originally wanted to accept her fate and live a good life with Liu Yuankang.
Unexpectedly, during a quarrel over trivial matters, Liu Yuankang picked up a rolling pin and beat her almost to death…
Yanhong lost the five – month – old child in her belly, and her body was left with problems. She could no longer have children for the rest of her life.
Her disabled right leg was also Liu Yuankang’s doing.
Just then, Yanhong’s brother was released from prison.
After learning about these things, her brother picked up a kitchen knife and was about to go to the Liu family to fight Liu Yuankang.
Liu Yuankang was scared and packed his things and ran away overnight.
Later, he hid in the city to work and didn’t dare to go back to the village.
After hearing me finish all this, my sister was stunned.
“Yuanyuan, how do you know so many things?!”
“Last month, the club organized a sketching trip to the mountains. I made a special trip to Liujia Village.”
At this point, I no longer hid it from her.
Liu Yuankang’s affairs were no secret. Everyone in Liujia Village knew about them.
My sister’s eyes were red. “Since you knew, why didn’t you tell me earlier?!”
“If I told you, would you have believed me?” I smiled calmly.
In my previous life, all the words I earnestly advised her were like a puff of wind to her.
I told her that Liu Yuankang was not a good person, that he was flirting around everywhere and owed a large amount of money.
After hearing what I said, my sister called Liu Yuankang right in front of me. “Kang Ge, do you have someone else outside? My sister told me that you also owe money to others. I don’t believe you. Unless you swear that if you lie to me, you’ll be a puppy!”
My sister never believed me.
I kindly reminded her, but she turned around and coquettishly complained to Liu Yuankang.
Time and time again, Liu Yuankang held a grudge against me.
When he hit me with a baseball bat, he kept scolding me for blocking his way to hook up with rich girls…
And now.
All the facts were presented to my sister in the cruelest way.
Only then did she ask me –
Why didn’t I tell her earlier?
I was silent.
I turned around and left the hospital.
As I walked into the elevator, the operating room door opened.
The doctor said in a heavy tone, “The patient is out of danger. However, in terms of fertility in the future, I’m afraid… We’re really sorry. We’ve done our best!”
13
The next time I saw my sister was on a thunder – stormy day.
She was kneeling in front of our house, with her pregnant belly exposed to the pouring rain.
Mom and Dad originally thought that she had finally seen Liu Yuankang’s true colors and was willing to come home obediently.
But unexpectedly, my sister said, “Dad! Please help me save Kang Ge! If he goes to jail, what will happen to me and my child in the future?!”
It turned out that –
After Liu Yuankang woke up, in addition to the bad news that he could no longer have normal sexual function, there was also an arrest warrant from the police.
During the chaos in the alley that day, the yellow – haired man was seriously injured, and he insisted that it was Liu Yuankang who hit him.
The yellow – haired man’s father was a local bully.
His family had found a lawyer in advance, vowing to send Liu Yuankang to prison for life.
Just because my father worked in the judicial unit.
Liu’s father and Liu’s mother instigated my sister to come back and plead, hoping that my father could use his connections to find a way out.
But for this kind of thing, even if it’s a blood – related relative, it’s impossible to challenge the bottom line of the law.
My father immediately refused my sister and was so angry that he slapped her.
However, even so, my sister still refused to leave.
For Liu Yuankang’s sake, she knelt outside in the rain for a whole night.
Until she was exhausted and fainted.
The ambulance took her away overnight.
After several hours of rescue, my sister finally woke up.
And the child in her belly was finally lost because of her actions.
“The patient’s physical foundation was already poor. The doctor had told her to rest well last time. How could you let her get caught in the rain?”
The doctor didn’t know the truth. He thought that it was the rain that caused my sister to have a miscarriage.
He couldn’t have imagined how many terrible and bad things had happened in just this one month.
Each thing was enough to cost the life of that child.
Sitting in the ward, I was a little dazed.
I sometimes wondered if what I did was right.
Did I really kill an innocent little life?
Just as I was thinking, Lin An suddenly patted me on the shoulder. “That child didn’t get born into the Liu family. It’s actually a blessing in disguise.”
I was stunned.
Yes.
Who would want to be born into the bottomless pit of the Liu family?
“Bang!”
The ward door was suddenly pushed open.
Liu’s father and Liu’s mother rushed in.
Seeing my sister’s flat belly on the hospital bed, they immediately pounced on me and my parents like crazy.
“You… You killed my grandson!”
“This is the last bloodline of the Liu family! It’s a sin! A sin!”
The deafening crying and shouting woke up my sister and also attracted the hospital security.
Several security guards easily subdued Liu’s father and Liu’s mother.
Liu’s father desperately broke free from the security guards, trying to rush to the bedside to hit my sister, cursing with ugly words.
But before he could raise his hand, he suddenly twitched all over, foamed at the mouth, and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Liu’s mother was so anxious that she stomped her feet. “Old Liu! What’s wrong with you?!”
Liu’s mother blamed everything on my sister.
She cursed my sister viciously. “You jinx! It’s all you! You ruined my son, killed my grandson! Now you’re going to harm my husband! You deserve to die! You’ll die a bad death!”
“Mom – in – law, how can you…”
My sister had just woken up from anesthesia and hadn’t even figured out the situation in front of her when she was scolded by Liu’s mother.
Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, she suddenly looked at her abdomen.
She knew better than anyone what a flat abdomen meant.
“Child? Where’s my child?! You… You give me back my child!”
The blow of the miscarriage completely shattered my sister’s last bit of sanity.
She screamed, pulled out the drip needle on the back of her hand, jumped off the hospital bed, and frantically attacked everyone in the ward.
Scratching, biting…
Like a wild beast.
14
A few days later.
My sister was transferred from the city hospital to the city mental hospital.
Liu Yuankang’s case was heard in court. In the first instance, Liu Yuankang was found guilty of intentional injury causing serious harm and was sentenced to seven years in prison.
Liu’s mother tried to find connections everywhere, saying that she was the one who hit the person and it had nothing to do with her son, hoping that the court would change the verdict.
So, the police collected new evidence.
In the second instance, Liu Yuankang was sentenced to ten years in prison, and Liu’s mother, as an accomplice, was sentenced to three years in prison.
The mother – son pair was sent to prison.
Only Liu Yuankang’s father was left lying in the hospital.
The doctor said that his father had drunk too much alcohol for a long time, which had damaged his central nervous system. Coupled with this time’s stimulation, he had a stroke and became paralyzed due to excitement. Judging from the current situation, he would have to lie in bed for the rest of his life.
Learning about the end of this family, I finally felt relieved.
Evil deeds will be punished.
No one can escape.
Just passing by a supermarket, I picked out the most expensive – looking ice – cream from the freezer and threw it to Lin An.
“Thank you for your help this time. I don’t have much pocket money, so I can only treat you to an ice – cream.”
“Don’t be polite.” He unceremoniously tore off the packaging and took a big bite. “As long as you’re okay.”
Lin An’s words made me stunned.
I suddenly remembered that in my previous life, after I died, he knelt at the police station entrance to plead for me.
Could it be that he knew the ins and outs of my rebirth?
I suddenly felt a chill down my back.
Before I could come to my senses, I heard him standing in front, biting the ice – cream and shouting to me in a slurred voice –
“What are you daydreaming about? We’re going to be late for class.”
“Ooh, coming!” I quickly replied.
Looking up, the warm sunlight shone on the boy’s white shirt.
It was just like a cliche scene in a movie.
Forget it.
I suddenly felt that whether he knew or not wasn’t that important anymore.
If I didn’t move forward, I would be late.
**Epilogue – Lin An**
I had a dream.
I dreamed that Xu Yuanyuan died.
She sent me a message asking for help, but I was too late.
When I arrived, she was lying in a pool of blood, her body distorted and deformed, with her intestines spilling out.
It was so ugly.
It made me cry because of how ugly it was.
I woke up from the dream.
Outside the window, the noisy cicadas were chirping non – stop.
The bald old professor was droning on the podium.
Tsk.
I played games too late last night and actually fell asleep in the classroom.
I took out my phone.
There was an unread message from Xu Yuanyuan.
My hand shook, and the screen of my newly – bought phone shattered.
I rushed out of the classroom and called Xu Yuanyuan.
The first call, no one answered.
The second call, no one answered.
The third call…
She answered, very angry. “What do you want? I’m in class!”
“Aren’t you dead?” I asked.
Then I was sprayed by her.
Only then did I remember to look at the message she sent just now.
She asked me if I could check the surveillance of my family’s KTV.
Damn.
Such a trivial matter.
I have so many stores. I could give her two of them.
As long as she lives well.
Anything is fine.
– The End –
