On our son’s first birthday,
Our family of three was hit and killed by a speeding driver on our way home for dinner.
The scene of the car accident was tragic, but the young hit-and-run driver was careless and didn’t rush to call an ambulance.
Later, the family members of the hit-and-run driver learned that since there was no drunk driving and the driver didn’t flee the scene after the accident, the maximum sentence would be only seven years.
So they tried to use compensation money to manipulate my parents and my wife’s parents.
I suddenly realized that
The sanctions of the law were not enough to make them feel pain,
And morality couldn’t punish the scoundrels either.
After enduring the pain of mountains of knives and seas of fire on the Naihe Bridge, I finally got the chance to return to the human world to take revenge!
01
Today is our son’s first birthday.
After work, I went back to my mother’s house with my wife to celebrate our son’s birthday.
The evening breeze in late autumn was a bit chilly. I held my son tightly in my arms, and my wife held my arm. We walked and talked and laughed, imagining the happy time of accompanying our son as he grew up slowly.
My mother said in WeChat that the meal was already ready and told us not to rush and to be careful on the road.
The street lamps lit up one by one, and our hearts were also warm.
Among these countless lights of thousands of families, there was a share of happiness that belonged to us.
Our son was just beginning to babble, “Daddy, Mommy…”
His milky words instantly melted my heart, and I kissed his chubby little face.
Suddenly, a bright light stabbed into my eyes.
Before I could look up, I felt a car speeding towards us…
In a panic, my wife and I quickly protected our son and at the same time pushed each other backward with force.
However, our strength was too small.
Almost in an instant, the three of us were all hit and thrown into the air by the car.
At the moment when we landed, the huge impact made my brain roar.
But there was a clear consciousness in my mind: Call 120 quickly to save people.
In my mind, the cry of my son when he was hit and flew out because of fear and his frightened eyes kept lingering.
He was only one year old. Since my wife got pregnant, she had been a full-time housewife to take better care of him. She read all kinds of parenting books and tried her best to accompany him in a scientific and loving way. My parents and my wife’s parents took turns to help, and we never let our child be frightened.
But unexpectedly, on his first birthday, he had to endure such pain…
The driver of the hit-and-run car braked urgently, but the speed was really too fast.
The car still ran over us out of control.
Finally, the driver stopped the car, opened the door and got out. I looked at him eagerly, hoping that he would call 120 for emergency treatment immediately.
However, he just cursed in a bad mood, “Damn it, what bad luck.”
Then he said to the girl in the passenger seat, “Pass me my cigarettes.”
He slowly opened the cigarette box, calmly lit a cigarette, smoked and said to the girl,
“I told you, I’m willing to die for you. Now do you believe me?”
“Stop talking about that. There’s been a car accident. What should we do?”
“You answer me first. Are you willing to get back together with me!”
…
My blood was gushing out from the wounds all over my body. I didn’t understand why this man and woman didn’t call 120 first but were still talking about those unimportant things.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw my wife’s fingers moving slightly.
I wanted to call her, but I couldn’t make a sound.
Presumably, she was in the same situation.
In the dim light, I saw her fingers moving all the time. She must be looking for our son.
Son, I couldn’t see our son either, but I couldn’t move my head at all.
“Please, go and check on my wife and child.”
“Please, call 120 quickly.”
I prayed anxiously in my heart, and tears mixed with blood flowed down.
However, neither the hit-and-run boy nor the girl in the passenger seat called the police or dialed 120.
In their eyes, were the lives of our family of three just like a few ants on the roadside that could be trampled to death without any problem?
The accident site was about a hundred meters away from the surrounding shops. Coupled with the darkness, no one had noticed us.
Finally, the girl said, “Let’s deal with the traffic accident first.”
The boy said, “Don’t worry. I didn’t drink and drive, and I didn’t flee the scene. I won’t be sentenced severely.”
Then he took out his mobile phone.
I thought he was finally going to call the police, but when he opened his mouth, he said, “Mom, I had a little car accident.”
“Don’t worry, it’s okay. I’m not hurt. I hit someone else.”
Then I heard the voice on the other end of the phone saying,
“It’s good that you’re not hurt. It’s okay. Don’t be afraid. At worst, we’ll just pay compensation.”
My heart was almost desperate. As time passed by, the coldness of the early autumn night was the last perception the world left me.
02
Before I lost consciousness,
I finally heard a passer-by passing by here. He shouted,
“There’s been a car accident. Someone has been hit. Come and help!”
While shouting, he dialed the ambulance and 110.
People from the nearby shops came to help when they heard the shouts.
But when they saw the scene, there were only horrified cries, “Oh my God, how could it be so serious.”
No one knew what to do.
Fortunately, the police cars and ambulances arrived quickly…
We were saved.
I could sleep in peace.
I was too tired,
And it hurt too much.
In just a few minutes, I had used up all my strength in this life.
When I woke up again, I would be able to see my dear wife and child, right?
We would all be treated, and we would all survive.
Even if we had some injuries, even if our future life wasn’t perfect, as long as we were alive, it would be okay.
My wife, she was so weak, but at the moment of the accident, she wanted to push me behind her to protect me.
My son, I hadn’t opened the birthday present I bought for him yet.
My father and mother, they had prepared the meal and were waiting for me.
Wait for me to sleep for a while, wait for me, and I’ll come…
03
I seemed to have slept for a very long time.
I felt my body being tossed around constantly. I was so tired and in so much pain.
I seemed to hear someone crying outside a thick door.
When I became conscious again,
I was floating in the air. No matter how hard I struggled, I couldn’t land.
But I didn’t care about this. I was anxious to go back to my parents’ house.
The birthday cake on the table was still there,
The meals were all there.
There was shredded pork with dried bamboo shoots that I liked the most, shredded lettuce that my wife liked, and longevity noodles for our son…
I rushed over to eat, but suddenly I found that I couldn’t eat anything, and those meals had already gone cold and grown mold.
Looking up again, I saw the black-and-white photos of our family of three placed in the middle of the living room.
My heart felt as if it had been slashed by a knife. The memories of my past life came back instantly.
It turned out that
Our family of three was no longer in this world.
My son, his life had just begun…
As a father, I didn’t protect him well.
My wife, she was so young and kind. As a husband, I didn’t protect her well either…
I painfully drifted into the bedroom. Sure enough, my mother was lying limp on the bed.
Only a few days had passed, but she seemed to have aged more than ten years. She was haggard and had lost so much weight that she was almost unrecognizable.
Her hair, which used to be neatly combed and beautiful, had all turned white in these few days and was messily stuck to her head.
“I’m sorry, Mom. I promised to take good care of you, but I’ll never have the chance again…”
I couldn’t help but wipe her tears and hug her.
However, she couldn’t feel anything.
I endured the grief and went to look for my wife and son.
If all three of us were dead, then I had to protect them in the afterlife.
But I wandered around and couldn’t find them.
Helplessly, I drifted to my mother-in-law’s house.
The situation here was the same as at my home. My mother-in-law was ashen-faced, and my father-in-law was answering the phone outside.
I got closer to listen and only then understood that the person on the other end of the phone was a mediator sent by the perpetrator.
“The people are gone. Those who are still alive should always plan for the future. The parents of the child are willing to pay 800,000 yuan in compensation. That’s a lot of money. In your small city, the annual income is only tens of thousands of yuan. After deducting living expenses, you can’t save 800,000 yuan in your whole life. You can just use this money to enjoy your old age with your in-laws…”
My father-in-law’s face turned red with anger, and finally he cursed loudly,
“Get out! We won’t forgive you. We don’t want a penny!”
I, floating in the air, thought about the reaction of the hit-and-run driver when the accident happened and listened to the mediator’s words, and was so angry that my soul almost dissipated.
I had never seen such shameless people in the world!
My father-in-law picked up his mobile phone and covered his face and cried.
This was the first time I had seen him cry. My wife and I were both only children. A car accident had created two families who had lost their only children.
There were four lonely old people who had lost their children and had no one to rely on.
I endured the anger in my chest and continued to look for my wife and son.
Finally, I drifted to the Naihe Bridge. The little devil guarding the bridge asked about my whole story and was also full of sympathy for me.
Through his telling, I learned that
My son died first, and then my wife soon came to the Naihe Bridge.
My son was too young, and the scene of the car accident was too tragic to describe. My wife couldn’t bear to let our son be haunted by such fear again, so she chose to drink the Mengpo Soup with our son immediately and forget everything about this life.
Because those who drink the Mengpo Soup at the same time can accompany each other even if they have no memories of their past lives on the other side of the Naihe Bridge.
I was declared dead after being rescued for a few days.
So now, as a soul, I couldn’t find my wife and son on the other side of the Naihe Bridge.
The little devil asked me if I would drink the Mengpo Soup quickly.
I shook my head. If I drank the Mengpo Soup, I would lose all the memories of this life.
The bond with all my relatives, including my wife, children, parents, would be cut off suddenly.
“However, if your soul wanders for a long time, your yin virtue will be damaged, and you will have to endure extraordinary torture before you can be reincarnated again.”
04
“I’m willing. As a man, I can’t bear to abandon my parents like this, and I can’t bear to let my wife and son die unjustly.”
The little devil nodded sympathetically at me and told me to go and settle my worldly affairs quickly.
I flew directly to the perpetrator’s house.
It was also in chaos here, but unlike my home, it wasn’t completely surrounded by sadness.
A middle-aged couple was consulting a lawyer,
“Yes, all three people are dead. But my son didn’t do it on purpose. He was just provoked by his ex-girlfriend and drove recklessly in a fit of anger. He’s still young and just made a momentary mistake.”
“Yes, lawyer. My son is very kind and sensible. If it hadn’t been for that family of three just appearing at that intersection, my son wouldn’t have been so unlucky. His life has just begun and can’t be ruined like this. After all, he was just unlucky and is also a victim.”
I was so angry that I was fuming on the side. His son is already an adult. His life has just begun?
What about my son?
He’s a victim? He’s kind and sensible? He was still smoking calmly at the scene of the accident and was thinking about getting back together in love instead of calling an ambulance first. Is this something a kind person would do?
What made me even more angry was that the lawyer said on the side:
“Don’t worry. Leave the case to me. I’ll defend your son well. He didn’t drink, and he didn’t flee the scene. He won’t be sentenced severely.”
“Really? Lawyer, thank you! After all, it’s three lives on the other side. Doesn’t it matter?”
“It doesn’t matter. Even if all three people on the other side are dead, the maximum sentence won’t exceed seven years.”
“Ah? Seven years is not a short time either. When he gets out after seven years, he’ll be almost thirty. How can he get married and have children then?”
“Don’t worry. As long as we get the other party’s understanding, he won’t be sentenced to seven years. And as long as he behaves well in prison, he’ll get a reduced sentence.”
“Yes. At that time, we’ll find some connections and do some lobbying. It’s estimated that at most one year, our son will be able to get out.”
The one who said this was the man on the side, probably the father of the hit-and-run boy.
“The top priority now is to get the understanding of the four old people on the other side. If we reach a settlement with them, he won’t be sentenced to seven years at all.”
The lawyer said firmly.
“Last time we calculated that their place is not economically developed. The man’s job is ordinary and his salary is not high. The woman is a full-time mother. 800,000 yuan in compensation is quite a lot, but they didn’t agree. It seems that they want to ask for a huge amount and take this opportunity to blackmail us. We need to plan our negotiation skills carefully.”
“How about we promise that after my son gets out of prison, we’ll take care of those four old people in their old age?”
“That’s a good idea. Then they won’t worry about their old age and will definitely understand.”
“Yes. As for taking care of them in their old age in the future, we’ll talk about it then. Just put on a show.”
I listened and really wanted to slap them twice.
However, I couldn’t do anything.
I remembered that a few nights ago, after putting my child to sleep, my wife said to me,
“Husband, I’m so happy to marry you. Although our income is not high but you love me and our son, and you’re responsible. Our life will definitely get better and better.”
Although my wife quit her job to take care of our son, she still made money by doing self-media to subsidize the family every day.
She had always hoped that when our conditions got better, we would take both our parents and our son to see the sea together.
However, she would never have that chance again.
At that moment, I made a decision.
I went back to the Naihe Bridge, found the little devil, and asked him to teach me a way to take revenge.
I knew that for people like them, the sanctions of the law were not enough to make them feel pain, and morality couldn’t punish them at all.
Our family of three would have died unjustly in vain.
My parents and my wife’s parents would only live in poverty and grief for the rest of their lives.
I remembered that a few years ago, a girl in the north was brutally killed by her friend’s boyfriend when she was helping her friend.
Finally, this friend became the enemy of the girl’s mother.
Not only did she not help the girl’s mother bring the murderer to justice, but she also tried every means to disgust the girl’s mother.
She even incited a group of fans to report the girl’s mother.
So, I couldn’t rely solely on the law. The law couldn’t always stand on the side of us victims to make judgments.
I couldn’t rely on morality either. This incident would soon be forgotten in everyone’s memory.
I wanted to, before my soul dissipated, personally complete the revenge for our whole family.
The little devil said,
“There is a way. After enduring the pain of the mountains of knives and seas of fire on the Naihe Bridge, you can possess the body of one of your close relatives, but then you’ll never have the chance to be reincarnated again.”
“No problem! Let me possess my mother’s body!” I said without hesitation.
05
Under the guidance of the little devil, I was enchanted by the important figure in charge of the Naihe Bridge.
After being tempered by the mountains of knives and seas of fire, I entered my mother’s body.
Opening my eyes, it was indeed the familiar home of mine.
My tears welled up again and flowed down.
I told myself that time was pressing and I had to hold back my emotions and focus on the revenge plan.
I wiped my tears and immediately got up. However, because I hadn’t eaten or drunk for too long, I felt dizzy after getting up and didn’t stand firmly and fainted on the ground.
After waking up, I called my father and went to my wife’s parents’ house with him.
As soon as we met, my mother-in-law hugged me and burst into tears again.
The two fathers quietly wiped their tears on the side.
I helped my mother-in-law wipe away her tears and said in my mother’s tone,
“Old sister, our children died unjustly. Let’s wipe away our tears and take revenge for them together!”
My father heard this, with tears in his eyes, looked at me in surprise and said, “You’ve finally come to your senses!”
These days, my mother had once thought of taking her own life. My father suppressed his grief, dealt with our funerals while also worrying about my mother.
“I can’t get over it, and I’ll never really get over it. But if we fall down like this, we’ll just let the murderer get away with it. Grieving is a lifetime thing. The most urgent thing now is for us to cheer up for our children’s sake, right, old sister!”
My mother-in-law’s decadent face showed some vitality when she heard my sincere words.
“My in-law is right. The other side is really going too far. Old woman, the four of us old guys should stand up and bring the murderer to justice!” My father-in-law said indignantly.
My father-in-law, who came from a poor background, didn’t know that although the law would punish the hit-and-run driver, that punishment wouldn’t be enough to make him feel the pain deeply.
My mother-in-law was greatly inspired. She got out of bed, tremblingly opened the refrigerator, and wanted to cook for us.
But when she opened the refrigerator, all our tears flowed down.
We had originally planned to have dinner at my mother-in-law’s house on the day after our son’s birthday.
The dried bamboo shoots in the refrigerator had already been blanched, and the lettuce had already rotted…
Beside the refrigerator were the birthday presents that the old couple bought for our son.
Like my mother, she hadn’t eaten these days and didn’t allow others to touch the meals she had prepared for her children, and could only let the meals go bad gradually.
I hugged my mother-in-law and cooked four simple bowls of plain boiled noodles with her.
When we were eating, I told them my idea.
I planned to find a lawyer to file a lawsuit while starting a self-media account, using the power of the public to punish the perpetrator together.
My father and my wife’s parents unanimously agreed that we didn’t want compensation money but wanted the other side to be severely sentenced.
After the meal, my father and my father-in-law went to hire a lawyer and deal with our funerals.
I took out my mobile phone and found my wife’s self-media account relying on the memories of my past life.
In my past life, she liked to record our child’s growth. Although she didn’t have many fans, the photos and videos she regularly took and uploaded recorded the wonderful moments of our child’s growth.
I could use this account to give the public a more intuitive impact and let everyone understand how deliberately violating traffic regulations could harm other people’s lives and families.
My first post was about the arrogant attitude of the hit-and-run driver’s parents towards the settlement and our four old people’s attitude of never accepting the settlement.
At first, there wasn’t much traffic, so I left messages under the official accounts that reported this news.
However, the popularity of this traffic accident wasn’t high.
Not many people could see my messages.
So I left messages one by one on my mobile phone and recorded videos at the same time, asking the public for help to drive public opinion to punish the hit-and-run driver.
After my father and my father-in-law met with the lawyer, they came back with gloomy faces.
The lawyer should have told them that the maximum sentence for a traffic accident perpetrator was only seven years.
06
I went up to comfort them,
“I read on my mobile phone that enthusiastic netizens said that if this is judged as a traffic accident crime, the maximum sentence is only seven years. But the other side clearly knew that speeding to 130 kilometers per hour could cause death and was suspected of endangering public safety in a dangerous manner. If this charge is established, the sentence will be very heavy.”
They looked at me as if they had found some comfort and immediately called the lawyer.
However, the lawyer said that there was no precedent for such a judgment and his ability was limited.
After hanging up the phone, I comforted them,
“The lawyers in our small city are not good enough. We can change to lawyers in big cities. Our family’s misfortune and the other side’s irresponsible attitude will attract a lot of people’s attention to this matter. We can ask for help from big lawyers on the Internet to help us fight this lawsuit.”
In their somewhat bewildered eyes, I started my first live broadcast.
During the live broadcast, when talking about this car accident, my mother-in-law couldn’t help crying several times, and my father and my father-in-law also covered their faces and cried.
I held back my sobs and asked everyone to help us four old people.
Soon, more and more people came into the live broadcast room.
When talking about the settlement conditions offered by the other side, netizens were filled with indignation.
Enthusiastic netizens even taught my father-in-law how to record when answering the phone and how to collect evidence.
At the end of the live broadcast, all four of us firmly stated that we would pursue this matter to the end.
Netizens also supported us one after another,
“If this matter is easily settled, then in the future, irresponsible drivers will be more careless when driving, and even some people with ulterior motives can use car accidents to harm others. In the end, they only need to serve a few years in prison.”
Our live broadcast was very sincere and also had its own characteristics. My mother-in-law was a poor mother who had lost her daughter, son-in-law, and grandson and was severely hit; my father-in-law and my father were fathers who endured grief to handle their children’s funerals but seemed clumsy everywhere because they were old and couldn’t keep up with the times, and I was a strong mother who endured humiliation and shouldered heavy burdens.
The number of people in the live broadcast room was increasing, and netizens were willing to crowdfund to help us.
We declined everyone’s kindness. At this stage, we could still support ourselves.
The main purpose of the live broadcast was to hope that more people would pay attention to this matter, that the power of public opinion could make the judgment more just, and of course, that some kind-hearted lawyers could help us fight this lawsuit.
After the live broadcast ended, my father and my father-in-law quickly repeated practicing how to record when answering the phone.
It was a simple operation, but they squinted their eyes and learned under the lamp for a long time.
My heart ached again. If I hadn’t come back,
How would these four elderly people deal with such complicated things?
They were the victims, but because they couldn’t keep up with the trend of the times, they were reduced to fish on the chopping board, at the mercy of the perpetrator’s sharp knife.
07
That night, after everyone went to rest, I separated from my mother’s body.
I wanted to see the situation of the perpetrator’s family.
When I was beside the Naihe Bridge, the little devil told me,
After my soul entered my mother’s body, if she resisted my intrusion, I would easily be squeezed out, and all my previous efforts would be in vain. If she welcomed my arrival, I could easily use her body.
Throughout this day, I didn’t feel any discomfort at all. It must be that my mother was helping me.
The little devil also said that when no one was paying attention, my soul could leave my mother’s body and wander around.
When I arrived at the perpetrator’s house, it happened that the perpetrator’s parents and the lawyer team were discussing important matters.
“They actually turned to the Internet for help. It seems that we underestimated them.”
“We’ve already conducted a carpet search on the whole network and made on-site inquiries, but we couldn’t find any negative information about them. So we can’t use public opinion to fight back against them. The situation is very unfavorable to us now.”
“Lawyer, according to what you said before, hire online trolls to report their accounts and make trouble in their live broadcast room. It doesn’t matter if we spend more money.”
The lawyer nodded.
I had originally hesitated, thinking that revenge should not involve innocent family members, but now I decided that I wouldn’t be soft-hearted anymore.
The trial of the case was very slow. Because of our live broadcast, more and more people on the Internet were paying attention to this matter.
During this process, we encountered many problems such as being restricted in traffic and being reported.
However, once something has the support of the just side, it will have an indelible power.
The number of fans and the degree of attention were slowly rising.
We also got several lawyers who wanted to help us.
The trial speed of the case also accelerated due to the huge attention.
In the end, the hit-and-run man was still sentenced according to the traffic accident crime, and the sentence was the maximum term of seven years.
Although I was reluctant, I also comforted my father and my wife’s parents to accept this result.
With this matter coming to an end, I didn’t rush to leave.
This was just the appetizer for revenge.
Fortunately, one day on the Naihe Bridge was equivalent to one year for us.
I continued to do live broadcasts. I wanted to keep the heat of this matter going so that the hit-and-run man wouldn’t be easily granted a reduced sentence.
My mother-in-law couldn’t bear the pain of losing her daughter after all. She fell seriously ill not long after the judgment.
Most Chinese netizens were kind-hearted and enthusiastic. They all said that they were willing to buy our products so that we could have money for our old age and medical treatment.
I took the opportunity to start live-streaming with goods.
But my main purpose was still only one, revenge.
I talked about that car accident the most.
More and more netizens got to know about this matter. Some netizens even left messages saying,
“I just got out of prison. I was lucky to meet the ‘Breakup Brother’ in there. I took care of him for you, Auntie.”
“Breakup Brother” was the nickname given to the hit-and-run driver by netizens. He had caused the car accident because he was dumped and came to our small city at that time.
“Auntie, I have good news for you. Although the prisoners in prison have all done wrong things, they also have a sense of justice and often help Auntie take care of him.”
…
Not long after that, the mother of the hit-and-run driver came to me.
She had been watching my live broadcasts all the time and also kept reporting my live broadcasts.
This time, she begged me not to do live broadcasts anymore. She said that when she went to visit, the new and old wounds on her son’s body made her very distressed.
I said quietly, “What about my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson? Who will feel sorry for them?”
She began to persuade me earnestly to let go of my hatred.
I took the opportunity to say,
“Yes, sometimes, it’s really fate. If your son hadn’t come to our small city at that time, both of our families would still be living happily on our own. You say, your family and ours are thousands of miles apart. How could your son drive to our place?”
The woman on the other side seemed to be deep in thought when she heard my words.
08
The next day when I was doing a live broadcast, a strange girl came in and left a message,
“The perpetrator has already been sentenced and punished. Why do you keep doing live broadcasts to pester the people related to this matter?”
I replied immediately,
“Are you related to this matter?”
The girl was still too young, and she dropped out of school when she was young and hadn’t read many books. She directly said in the live broadcast room,
“To be honest with you, I’m the ex-girlfriend of the perpetrator. I had already started a new life, but because of your live broadcasts, the perpetrator’s parents have been harassed all the time, and now they keep coming to harass me, saying that I’m the root cause of that car accident. But I didn’t drive the car. What does it have to do with me?”
My tears welled up all at once, and I thought of the scene where our family of three was hit again. I choked with sobs and said,
“You didn’t drive the car, but were you the one who quarreled with the driver who was driving at that time and made him lose control and drive recklessly? After the car accident, were you the one who didn’t call the police or the ambulance as an involved party?”
Netizens also left messages one after another,
“You didn’t kill Boren, but Boren died because of you. And you still dare to claim innocence.”
“How dare you come to question Auntie the blogger so righteously!”
…
The girl’s recklessness successfully exposed herself on the Internet.
Her job as a network anchor couldn’t continue because of continuous reports.
Without an education and unwilling to work steadily, she started changing boyfriends at a higher frequency.
Later, I met the perpetrator’s parents several times. They were still full of hatred towards me.
It seemed that it was our family that had caused their son to go to prison, not their son himself. They only remembered that their son was suffering.
They had long forgotten that our family of three died painfully because of their son, and they didn’t care how our four old people were struggling to get through each day.
The mother of the perpetrator even provocatively said to me with hatred,
“Even if you have a lot of traffic, how many years do you have left to live? I even doubt whether you can live until my son is released from prison. By the way, I tell you that our family’s business has been getting better and better in recent years. So what if my son has a criminal record? He can directly take over the family business after he is released from prison. At that time, plenty of girls will be willing to marry him. My son has just been delayed for seven years. After he comes out, he will still have a brilliant life.”
I looked at this woman who had once cried bitterly and said that she would let her son take care of our old age in the future.
I just felt extremely disgusted.
It was she herself who forced me bit by bit to expand the scope of my revenge.
I was thinking about how to fight against them when my father-in-law actually took out his mobile phone and played the recording of the woman’s harsh words.
At that moment, I felt a strange heavy blow in my heart. My father-in-law was a rough migrant worker with only a primary school education. How many times had his heart been hurt so that he was so careful as to record all the time now?
I looked at him. The sunlight shone on his face. His white hair was in a mess on his head, and the wrinkles on his face were several layers deeper than a few years ago.
I took the recording mobile phone and made another important decision in my heart.
09
I played the words of the mother of the perpetrator in the live broadcast.
Like me, the anger of the netizens was out of control again.
Unfortunately, the perpetrator’s family was in the catering business.
Netizens began to boycott going to their restaurants to eat.
Soon, with the help of my lawyer, evidence was collected that although the restaurants of the perpetrator’s family claimed to cook dishes on the spot, most of them were actually pre-made dishes.
During that period of time, I did live broadcasts every day, updating the results of the reports on their restaurants.
At the same time, I began to announce my income from selling goods in recent years.
I was probably the first blogger on the whole network to announce my income from selling goods.
Except for the expenses of the lawsuit, treating my mother-in-law’s illness, and simple daily expenses, I saved 10% of the money from selling goods for each old person’s pension. As for the rest, I donated all of it.
Some of it was donated to sick adults, some to sick children, and some was used to support girls in the western region to study.
Netizens’ support for me rose again.
I started a new round of live-streaming with goods and stated that I would use the money I earned to build a nursing home for the elderly who had lost their only children in my hometown.
The more prosperous I was in this regard, the more downhill the perpetrator’s family went.
The catering business mainly relies on consumers’ reputation and doesn’t have a very solid foundation. Soon, several restaurants of the perpetrator’s family were in crisis.
They also started doing live broadcasts, but they were completely unconvincing.
In less than two years, the business foundation they had prepared for their son was ruined by themselves.
At this time, our live broadcast account had become one of the top accounts on the whole network.
With the support of the income from live-streaming with goods, our nursing home for the elderly who had lost their only children was running very well.
Although the city where our family lived was not big, it was famous for tourism.
All the netizens who had bought goods in our live broadcast room could enjoy free accommodation and meals in our nursing home when they came to our city for tourism until they had stayed enough.
When the seventh year came, the perpetrator was released from prison.
Because of the high attention and large traffic of this event, many bloggers went to film the scene of the perpetrator’s release from prison.
It was a sunny day. The moment I saw that 27-year-old man in the video, I felt a bit dazed. My wife and I were also 27 years old back then.
Our lives ended at the age of 27, while he was welcoming a new life at 27.
And my son didn’t even know what life was like at the age of 27.
Actually, the kindness in my bones made me struggle in my mind. The country had educated him for seven years. If he really had repented and changed his ways, would it be too much for me to keep chasing after him?
The struggle in my mind made me float to the perpetrator’s house again a few days later at night.
His family’s single-family courtyard was beautifully decorated, and the house was filled with a festive atmosphere.
I couldn’t help but think of my mother-in-law’s house again. Seven years had passed, and that house no longer had any vitality.
Even though I was doing well in live-streaming with goods and had a lot of fans supporting us, they, including my father, had never really smiled happily again.
When I was in my mother’s body, I didn’t know her thoughts, but I could feel that her body had been tense all the time.
These years, I had a huge workload every day. Sometimes, this body couldn’t bear it, but she had never resisted.
I heard the perpetrator’s family chatting while eating hot pot,
“Son, those four old people on the other side have too many fans. They will keep an eye on your every move. So you must work hard, behave yourself, and show the netizens your enterprising side, and strive to win over a group of fans for ourselves.”
“Yes, son. Your parents will gradually arrange for you to get married and have children. Although our family is not as good as before, we have a house and people. Compared with that family with no descendants, we are sure to win. When those four people die, no one will pay attention to this matter anymore. Then the right to speak will be in our hands. Thirty years on the east side of the river and thirty years on the west side of the river. Maybe you can also make money easily by live-streaming with goods at that time.”
“I really want to step on the accelerator again and get rid of those four old people completely.” The one who said this was the perpetrator.
At that moment, I put aside all the mercy and entanglement in my heart.
Bad people are really hard to be reformed easily.

From the next day, I blatantly followed the perpetrator.
I wanted to make him socially dead.
He was arranged by his family to work in a store, and I did a live broadcast in front of that store.
Soon, the boss couldn’t bear the pressure and fired the perpetrator.
Some anti-fans came to the live broadcast room to scold me,
Saying that I didn’t give others a chance to reform and was forcing others to a dead end.
Some enthusiastic fans helped me reply,
“Did he think about giving Auntie’s son’s family of three a way to live when he was speeding in the urban area?”
I took the opportunity to say,
“Actually, he was only 20 years old at that time and hadn’t graduated from school yet. He made such a big mistake mainly because his parents didn’t fulfill their educational responsibilities.”
Netizens replied one after another,
“Yes, parents who love their children will plan for their long-term future. Raising children is not just about providing them with food and clothing, but more importantly, fulfilling their educational responsibilities.”
“Some parents give birth to children just for their own temporary pleasure. When it’s time to accompany and educate their children, they use mobile phones and snacks to deal with them. It seems that they love their children, but in fact, they ruin their children’s whole lives.”
“Yes, the ‘Breakup Brother’ family’s conditions were not bad. His parents could have cultivated him to study hard and become a pillar of society, but they raised him to be useless, ruined his life, and made him end up in prison, making him a rat crossing the street for the rest of his life…”
“Do you still remember the arrogant words of his parents cursing Auntie’s family two years ago? Originally, Auntie’s family had already been slowly letting go of this matter at that time. It was their domineering attitude that made Auntie’s family have to keep taking revenge to the end!”
…
Once the discussion among netizens started, it was like waves in the sea, rolling out countless pieces of information.
I deliberately set this live broadcast to be able to be watched repeatedly.
I know that the perpetrator would always watch my live broadcast.
I wanted to stir up a war between that hot-blooded young man and his parents.
Later, during that period of time, the perpetrator changed to work in another store. As I said in the live broadcast, I didn’t follow him to do a live broadcast again.
It wasn’t because I really thought the perpetrator was innocent, but because I found that although this man was almost thirty, he still had the mindset of a twenty-year-old. Hard work and endurance had nothing to do with him.
Sure enough, within half a month, he took the initiative to resign.
After that, he changed to different jobs, but he didn’t last long in any of them.
During those nights, I turned into a soul and floated outside his house.
Sure enough, there were constant small quarrels in his family.
His parents took turns scolding him for being useless and demanding that he should be hardworking and endure hardships.
Finally, one day, the small quarrels exploded into a big fight.
“When we were as old as you, we had endured all kinds of hardships. Look at you, you can’t carry anything on your shoulders or lift anything with your hands. What big things can you achieve?”
“Since childhood, we have provided you with a worry-free life in terms of food and clothing. Is it for you to be a useless person like this now?”
“Yes, I’m a useless person, but it’s you who raised me to be like this!”
“What did you say?”
“I said it’s you who raised me to be useless, and it’s you who made me go to prison and ruined my whole life!”
The ‘Breakup Brother’ roared hysterically.
With a “slap”, the ‘Breakup Brother’ was slapped by his father.
“I gave you life, provided you with food and drink, and raised you wrongly?”
“Did I ask you to give birth to me? You gave birth to me for your own momentary pleasure. Did you ask for my consent? After giving birth to me, did you educate me? From childhood to adulthood, whenever you were free, you were either playing mahjong or drinking. Whenever I needed you, all you gave me was either money or impatient scolding!”
“That’s because you’re useless. In the past, the family had money and let you spend it freely. There were so many girls from good families that you didn’t choose. You had to chase after a country bumpkin from another province. Not only did you get yourself involved, but you also brought trouble to the whole family. Now, we’ve introduced so many girls to you, but you still haven’t succeeded with any of them. You’re such a waste. How could you be my son!”
“Okay, then we’ll cut off our relationship!”
The ‘Breakup Brother’ roared out the last sentence, took out a spring knife from his pocket, and stabbed it into his father’s abdomen several times.
When his mother exclaimed and tried to stop him, she was also stabbed twice by him.

This time, the ‘Breakup Brother’ still didn’t call an ambulance immediately.
After doing all this, he squatted down, hugged his head and cried bitterly.
“The love you thought you gave me was just giving me money to spend and scolding or beating me. That’s why I was so crazy about her. She’s not pretty or kind, but she could give me a sense of security!”
The ambulance and the police car arrived one after another.
The ‘Breakup Brother’, who had just been out of prison for less than a year, went back to where he belonged again.
This time, he probably wouldn’t be able to come out for a long time.
Because his father died under his repeated stabbings, and his mother was seriously injured.
Some bloggers went to visit the mother of the ‘Breakup Brother’ for the sake of traffic.
She is now living in a small rented house. The original house has been sold to pay for medical treatment.
Even so, she will have to live with a urine bag for the rest of her life.
Now she can truly understand the feelings of my parents and my wife’s parents.
She will finally stop saying things like “You just lost your son”…
Because although her son is not dead, she has also lost her son forever.
In the latest court trial, the ‘Breakup Brother’ said calmly that he hated his parents who gave him life but didn’t educate him well the most.
He just wanted to be sentenced to death and return this miserable life to them.
I finally completed the task of possessing a human body.
I bound my self-media account and the nursing home for the elderly who had lost their only children together and handed them over to the state-owned enterprises under the leadership of the local government.
In the future, the account will transform to do live broadcasts to help farmers and promote tourism, and the income of the account will be used to support the expenses of the nursing home. If there is a shortage, the government will make up for it.
I arranged my parents and my wife’s parents to live in the nursing home.
The houses of our two families are enough to cover their future medical expenses.
I chose to leave after the Mid-Autumn Festival that year.
My mother returned to her body again.
By the Naihe Bridge, the little devil was waiting for me.
He told me that my mother knew all the things that had happened in these years, so she cooperated with me so well and lent me her body to use.
She said that she was very pleased.
I had guessed all this, so I was very grateful.
I willingly took the Mengpo Soup and was willing to accept any punishment.
Before drinking the Mengpo Soup, I asked a question that I was very worried about,
“Will the other side also have the chance to be reborn or possess the bodies of their relatives after death?”
“They don’t have the chance. People with insufficient yang virtue can hardly even be reincarnated, let alone return to the human world. Those who are evil-hearted, don’t fulfill their obligations, and harm others’ lives are people with insufficient yang virtue.”
I smiled with relief.
The little devil continued,
“Don’t worry. Originally, when you returned to the human world as a soul, you were supposed to lose the chance of being reincarnated. But unexpectedly, when you returned to the human world, besides fulfilling your own wishes, you also helped the old people and children and accumulated so much yang virtue, so you will be able to be reincarnated soon.”
I smiled gratefully at him, hesitant to speak.
He smiled and said,
“Alright, I’ll fulfill all your wishes. Let me tell you that your wife and son have already been reincarnated one after another. In their new life, they are sister and brother, and you are very familiar with them.”
I was shocked and said, “Who are they?”
“They are the children of the director of the nursing home you founded.”
My tears gushed out immediately.
The administrative director of the nursing home is a female college student who graduated from university and encountered setbacks in her work outside. She came back to her hometown to operate the self-media with me through my live broadcast.
I promoted her from a little assistant to the executive director of the nursing home all the way. She also got married and had children in her hometown.
Her eldest daughter is just six years old this year, and her youngest son is three years old.
Both children are extremely cute. We were all surprised that although the little girl was not old, she was so sensible and loved her younger brother so much. It turns out that there was a connection from their past lives ah.
The two children especially liked to play with us. It seemed that there was an indescribable bond between them and our four old people.
So that’s where it came from.
I happily knelt down and kowtowed to the heaven and the earth, then thanked the little devil and drank the bowl of Mengpo Soup in one gulp.
Goodbye, this life.
I’m going to welcome my next life.
Originally, I didn’t want to have another life anymore, because the human world where I had to rely on returning as a soul or being reborn to take revenge was not the human world I wanted.
But now, I’m full of expectation and love for this world again!
(The End)
