Chapter 3: Her Own Mother! She Actually Reincarnated!

How did she come back to life, and even become younger???

No, no, no, this must be a dream. She’s already dead. People don’t come back to life, and they definitely don’t return to their youth.

Chen Shuilian looked at her son, still alive, and gently waved at him.

The smile on her face was as kind and gentle as it could be.

“Maizhou, come here.”

Zhao Maizhou, hearing his mother calling him, immediately snapped back to reality. He walked over cautiously, not forgetting to turn his head and instruct: “Someone, quickly go bring the village doctor.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll go right away,” Zhao Fengtian, also shocked that his mother had come back to life, grinned excitedly and ran out.

At this point, Zhao Maizhou had anxiously walked up to Chen Shuilian. “Mother, did you call me?”

“Come, sit down,” Chen Shuilian kindly patted the spot next to her.

Zhao Maizhou obediently sat down, but before he could settle, a heavy slap landed on his face.

He couldn’t dodge in time and honestly took the slap.

Zhao Maizhou grimaced and cried out, “Mother, it hurts, it hurts.”

Chen Shuilian looked at her hand in disbelief. The pain in her hand was very real.

She then looked at Zhao Maizhou, equally incredulous.

“Does it hurt?”

“Very much!”

Chen Shuilian took a deep breath, and suddenly reached out to pinch Zhao Maizhou’s inner thigh hard.

Zhao Maizhou immediately sucked in a cold breath and pleaded, “Mother, mother, please loosen up, it hurts, it really hurts.”

Wuwuwu, mother is so cruel.

Why is she hitting him as soon as she wakes up? He didn’t do anything wrong…

Wait a minute.

Isn’t she mad because he didn’t support his elder brother just now? But his elder brother did something really wrong. He couldn’t bring himself to help him against his conscience…

Zhao Maizhou felt a bit sad. It turns out his elder brother is still his mother’s real son. He and Fengtian don’t matter to her at all.

However, Chen Shuilian was not at all concerned about Zhao Jiagu, that bastard.

When she realized that this wasn’t a dream, she was overwhelmed with emotion, her eyes filling with tears.

None of this was a dream.

She had actually been reborn!

And she had been reborn to her younger self!!!

Now, the second son and his wife were still alive, and the third son was safely at home…

Good, so good…

This must be the heavens looking out for her. After all the wrongs she committed in her past life, they’ve given her a chance to make things right.

Since that’s the case, she definitely won’t repeat her past mistakes!

Chen Shuilian covered her face, grinning foolishly. The sound of her laughter was long and eerie, making everyone in the room freeze, not daring to move.

Of course, as always, there are one or two exceptions. Zhao Jiagu, who had been pampered by Chen Shuilian since childhood, wasn’t at all frightened by his mother’s current appearance.

Especially after she had just slapped Zhao Maizhou, he knew his mother still favored him as always.

As long as she was willing to support him, he was the one with the highest status in this family.

Zhao Jiagu approached Chen Shuilian, trying to please her. “Mother, you’re finally awake. I told you, good people have blessings, and you’d surely wake up. That barefoot doctor, Feng, at the village entrance, what does he know? He told us you’d never wake up, saying that with good luck, you could lie in bed forever, but with bad luck, we’d have to prepare for your funeral. I think he was just trying to swindle us! Second brother, I’m not blaming you, but why did you ask him to come?”

His words were full of provocation, and his intentions were obvious.

Although it wasn’t the first time he had been stabbed in the back by his own brother, Zhao Maizhou couldn’t help but feel deeply hurt.

Under Chen Shuilian’s gaze, he quickly defended himself. “Feng is a doctor who worked in a medical clinic in the county for several years. He has some real skills, so don’t say it like that.”

Zhao Jiagu was relentless. “Am I wrong? He came, took a look, gave you a pill to relieve your pain, but never claimed it could cure you. It’s all because of your good fortune that you pulled through! If he’s not trying to swindle us, then what else could it be? And that pill, a single one, costs two hundred wen!”

Two hundred wen! He could’ve bought ten pounds of pork with that money, enough for a feast.

Zhao Maizhou felt his heart sink at his brother’s words. His elder brother truly understood his mother. Now, she’d definitely be upset over that two hundred wen.

As expected, no matter what, he would always be the one left taking the blame.

There was no escaping this scolding. Zhao Maizhou hung his head, bracing himself for Chen Shuilian’s angry tirade.

Zhao Jiagu looked smugly at his downcast younger brother, feeling secretly pleased.

Now that Mother was awake, he was eager to see who dared to defy him.

“With a mother as a pillar, who dares to offend him? This is the consequence!”

Zhao Maizhou didn’t hear the scolding he expected from Chen Shuilian, but instead, he saw his mother, hands on her hips, cursing at his elder brother.

“You bastard, don’t think I don’t know what you’re up to. I can see you’re just unwilling to part with that two hundred wen. How dare you talk about the second one! If you were as filial as Maizhou, I wouldn’t be lying here!”

“Mother…?” Zhao Jiagu was stunned. Why was his mother not following the usual script today?

Thinking about the outcome in her past life, Chen Shuilian got angry when she saw this useless thing.

Looking around and finding nothing suitable to throw, she gritted her teeth and picked up the stone pillow behind her, throwing it at Zhao Jiagu.

Zhao Jiagu quickly dodged as the stone pillow came flying toward him. If it hit his head, he would be the one lying in bed, preparing for his own funeral.

“Mother, what are you doing? I’m Jiagu! Are you crazy?”

Zhao Jiagu, never having experienced this treatment before, shouted in disbelief.

“I’m throwing it at you, unfilial son! Get out of here!” Chen Shuilian pointed fiercely at the door. “And take that unlucky woman with you!”

Chen Shuilian was only thirty-five at this time. Whether at home or in the village, she was a fierce woman no one dared to provoke.

At this moment, Zhao Jiagu still hadn’t grown enough to dare defy her. Hearing her curses, he shrank back.

A moment later, when he mustered the courage to retort, he met his mother’s murderous gaze.

Even the most favored son, Zhao Jiagu, was scared.

He shivered, grabbed the unwilling Hongniang, and headed out.

When Chen Shuilian saw the two of them leave, she felt a little better.

Her gaze slowly shifted to the second son.

Zhao Maizhou shivered under her gaze.

But when he thought about the stone pillow that had already broken into two halves on the floor, he no longer felt that the earlier pinch from his mother had been painful.

Indeed, everything is relative. After this comparison, being pinched a few times didn’t seem like much.

In fact, even if his mother pinched him a few more times now, he wouldn’t even make a sound…

Mother, as always, was fierce and ruthless.

Even though she had just woken up from a faint, it didn’t affect her steady performance at all. Her combat power was still off the charts.
