Chapter 1: Died in Childbirth

In 1985.

In the courtyard of the Dong family’s house in Tonglin Town, a spacious bungalow with three rooms and a side room, a painful female voice echoed from the narrow woodshed.

Inside the woodshed, half lying on a pile of carelessly thrown straw, was a young woman with a swollen belly and a body as thin as a stick.

Her face was pale, and large beads of sweat constantly dripped down, soaking her gray clothes. She looked like she had been pulled from the water.

One thin hand was digging into the wall, her nails deeply embedded in the stone, while the other hand clutched her continuously bleeding belly.

“Baby, baby, you have to be strong, you have to be strong.”

“Hey, are you giving birth here?”

The closed wooden door was pushed open from the outside, and an arrogant woman walked in with a mocking smile on her face.

Jiang Mingyue, who had already felt the baby coming, raised her head and looked at the woman. Despite knowing her sister-in-law had always been hostile, she could only turn to her for help.

“Yu Mei, Yu Mei, go and call your mother and brother back. I’m going to give birth. I’m going to give birth.”

“Shameless little whore, are you still thinking about my brother and my mother?”

Dong Yumei walked towards Jiang Mingyue, stretching out her hand to strangle her neck. “Jiang Mingyue, why are you so stupid?

You’re about to die and you still don’t understand that what you are carrying in your belly is not from our Dong family at all…”

“No, you’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense!”

Jiang Mingyue found it hard to believe.

Dong Yumei became more and more smug, “Haha, what nonsense am I talking about? If you were pregnant with our Dong family’s son, do you think my brother wouldn’t even let you eat enough when you were pregnant?”

Oh, don’t say that our family’s conditions are not good. I’m not afraid to tell you that my mother has tens of thousands in savings.”

Guess why we asked you to work as a dishwasher when you were pregnant, and cooked brown rice porridge for every meal. Wild vegetables? Why are you living in the woodshed?”

“That’s because you’re pregnant with a bitch!”

“No! That’s not the case!”

Jiang Mingyue screamed and sat up.

She was having this dream again.

She was dreaming about what happened in her previous life.

This was the second day after she was reborn, and the third day after she married Dong Chengcai. Two days ago, she woke up from a state where her entire body felt like it was falling apart.

The pain that threatened to tear her lower body told her she was reborn. She had been strangled to death while giving birth in her previous life and was unable to reincarnate with her resentment.

She could only float in the human world, and now she had returned to the morning after her marriage to Dong Chengcai!

God seemed to be playing a huge joke on her, giving her a chance to start over, but the timing was stuck after she had jumped into the Dong family’s fire pit!

But…Haha, she couldn’t leave the Dong family after her death in her previous life. Her soul stayed in the Dong family for five years, and she saw the true face of the Dong family clearly.

Her husband, who was usually bright, polite, and graduated from a university for workers, peasants, and soldiers, turned out to be impotent!

Not to mention continuing the family line, he couldn’t even perform.

The sister-in-law who was always arrogant had always secretly liked the rough neighbor next door who had no parents.

As for the deputy mayor’s father-in-law, whom everyone respected, he had two women outside, one who gave birth to a daughter for him, and the other who gave birth to a son for him…

As for her ‘good mother-in-law’, although she didn’t have such a messy relationship, she was a stingy woman who took advantage of others because her husband was the deputy mayor!

And the old woman from the Dong family who came over occasionally wasn’t even a kind person!

In her previous life, she was stupid and believed Dong Chengcai’s lies. She failed the college entrance examination and married into the Dong family.

She thought she had found a lover she could depend on for life, but she never thought that from beginning to end, she would be a tool to cover up the Dong family’s ugliness.

Even her pregnancy was planned by her mother-in-law Duan Hong!

Thinking of pregnancy, Jiang Mingyue’s features softened with hatred.

She reached out and touched her still flat belly, knowing that if nothing was wrong, her two children were already in her belly at this time.

That’s right, she was tricked by her mother-in-law on her wedding night and was so confused that she had sex with someone.

The only memory she had was that the man’s body was incredibly hot, and the flesh all over his body was hard.

He seemed to have endless energy, and he kept tossing her over and over again…

Hey, Jiang Mingyue, are you still there? What are you waiting for? My mother and brother will be back soon, why don’t you come out to cook? Do you want to starve us to death?”

Dong Yumei yelled rudely outside the room.

Jiang Mingyue removed her hand from her lower abdomen and raised her eyes to look outside.

As if she had no manners in her previous life, Dong Yumei reached out and pushed open the door.

She stood at the door with her hands on her hips, “I said Jiang Mingyue, what’s going on with you? Didn’t you hear me when I called you?”

Jiang Mingyue was the same age as Dong Yumei, both nineteen years old.

Dong Yumei had been protected by her parents since she was a child. She had an arrogant and domineering temperament. In her eyes and heart, she didn’t take Jiang Mingyue, a bumpkin from the countryside, seriously.

She also kept yelling at her.

Those who knew it were her sister-in-law, but those who didn’t thought that Jiang Mingyue was a maid bought by the Dong family.

Jiang Mingyue raised her eyes and landed on Dong Yumei’s proud face, her light pink lips slightly curved.

“Yu Mei.”

“What are you doing?”

Dong Yumei stared at Jiang Mingyue.

Jiang Mingyue was good-looking, with fair skin, an oval face, curved eyebrows, a small and straight nose bridge, and lips that were always pink.

When she smiled, her eyebrows curved and there were shallow dimples!

Even if she was wearing patched clothes, standing there still made people unable to take their eyes away.

This is something Dong Yumei didn’t have, and it’s what she hated.

“It’s okay.”

Jiang Mingyue stood up. She walked up to Dong Yumei and ‘accidentally’ stepped on Dong Yumei’s sandaled instep.

“Ah…”

Dong Yumei yelled and jumped, then opened her mouth to curse, “Jiang Mingyue, you are looking for death, how dare you step on me?”

“Yeah!”

The smile on Jiang Mingyue’s lips did not diminish, and she put her hands on Dong Yumei’s shoulders, raised her legs and bent her knees, lowering Dong Yumei’s body and pushing her knees up.

It hit Dong Yumei’s abdomen steadily!

“Ah…”

A louder and shriller scream rang out. Dong Yumei’s lower abdomen felt hot and painful, and her face was twisted in pain.

“Jiang Jiang Mingyue, you bitch, how dare you hit me?”

“I’ll fight you!”

Dong Yumei stretched out her hand to grab Jiang Mingyue without hesitation.

Jiang Mingyue had been waiting for this moment.

She took the opportunity to punch Dong Yumei a few more times, using all her strength with each punch. Dong Yumei screamed in pain and chased her with all the unpleasant words.

Jiang Mingyue took the opportunity to run out of the room, ran to the main room and hid behind the TV.

Dong Yumei rushed over and ‘accidentally’ overturned the TV, broke the radio, and smashed everything in the main room.

Even if she didn’t knock it over, Jiang Mingyue would let her “accidentally” knock it over.

The noise can be as big as the noise can be.

The Dong family seems to have been ransacked by thieves.

Jiang Mingyue saw that the situation was almost over, so she tugged on her clothes, pulled her hair down, raised her hand to scratch a few bloody marks on her cheek, and ran out crying.

Neighbors who had heard the commotion opened the courtyard door and saw the Dong family’s new daughter-in-law, with disheveled hair and several torn clothes, stumbling out of the Dong family!

Behind her, there was Dong Yumei chasing her with a knife!

At the same time, Dong Chengcai, who had been out for two days, also walked here with his next door neighbor Gu Dongqing, who happened to meet him.
