"We in the Gu family are really out of luck for taking in a jinx like you."
"A man is dead, and you still want to fool around outside, right?"
"I think Zhen Dong was killed by you. Otherwise, he wouldn't have had a car accident on the way."
As soon as Lin Wanning stepped into the yard, she was immediately confronted by her mother - in - law with high cheekbones and upturned eyes, who pointed at her nose and cursed.
In a daze, Lin Wanning noticed that her mother - in - law's eyes were not blind, her father - in - law was not paralyzed, and her long black hair was hanging on her shoulders.
In the courtyard with blue - brick tile houses, yellow paper money was scattered everywhere, and a big red coffin was placed right in the middle of the yard.
Before she could react, her mother - in - law, Zhou Manfeng, dragged her to Gu Zhendong's coffin while spitting everywhere.
"I told Zhen Dong not to marry a capitalist young lady like you back then, but he just wouldn't listen. Look what happened. To satisfy your extravagant spending, he worked himself to death."
"You're still buying all these things. Are you even human? You're worse than a pig or a dog."
Zhou Manfeng's fingernails dug deep into Lin Wanning's flesh. The pain made her realize that this was not a dream.
She had really been reborn!
Two days ago, while on a work - related delivery, Gu Zhendong drove the factory's car to pick up his elder brother who was coming home for a visit. He got into a car accident on the way. His elder brother died in the accident, and he also damaged the factory's goods.
He didn't want to take responsibility or pay off the debt.
So he colluded with the whole family and faked his death to impersonate his elder brother's identity and enjoy his elder brother's allowance. He deceived Lin Wanning into being a widow, counting on her true feelings...
In her previous life, Lin Wanning was really badly deceived.
After Gu Zhendong's "death", because of her family background, she was firmly suppressed by her in - laws.
She was like a puppet on a string, coerced into adopting her seriously ill niece, taking care of her in - laws, and paying off the huge debt incurred from this accident.
She had been a widow for forty years for Gu Zhendong. She worked like a beast of burden for this family day and night for more than forty years.
Finally, when she was dying of advanced gastric cancer, she found that her husband was not dead at all.
He was spending her hard - earned money and living a happy life with his widowed sister - in - law, Bai Xiaolian, for forty years.
When she was lying in bed in pain from the stomachache, he held Bai Xiaolian's hand, brought the niece she had raised by exhausting herself, and walked to her bedside.
Looking at her with scorn, he told her:
"Actually, my debt was only a thousand yuan. Why did I say it was more than twenty thousand? I just wanted to give Xiaolian a better life."
"Now you're seriously ill and can't help our Gu family at all. So we won't keep you. The money for your medicine comes from us. The longer you live, the more we lose."
Every word was like a knife stabbing into Lin Wanning's heart. Before she could accept all this, Gu Zhendong dragged her out of bed and pushed her out of the window on the twentieth floor.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanning closed her eyes and took a deep breath. In this life, she must make these people pay for their crimes with blood.
She gritted her teeth and wiped away the excited tears.
Immediately, she pretended that the sky had fallen, threw herself in front of the coffin, and howled at the top of her voice.
"Zhendong, you heartless man. Why didn't you even let me see you for the last time?"
"You clearly promised me that you would have a bunch of kids with me when I came back. How could you just abandon me like this?"
Seeing Lin Wanning in such a state of grief, Zhou Manfeng's eyes were filled with smugness.
She thought Lin Wanning had been deceived, so she deliberately shouted at Lin Wanning fiercely.
"I think you're just feigning sadness. If you hadn't spent money so extravagantly, he wouldn't have died."
"No matter how much you cry now, the dead won't come back. Stop wasting time and hurry up to go to the funeral with us."
Lin Wanning continued to act as if she was in extreme pain. Trembling, she grabbed her mother - in - law, Zhou Manfeng.
"You actually doubt my true feelings for Zhendong? I wish I could just bang my head against the coffin and go with him right now."
After saying that, Lin Wanning continued to lie on the coffin and howl. In her previous life, she only knew how to cry and had no idea how Gu Zhendong had escaped.
In this life, she was going to find out what was going on!
Seeing Lin Wanning lying at the coffin opening and dawdling, Zhou Manfeng stared at her with her venomous triangular eyes.
She pulled Lin Wanning away. "The man is dead. Who are you crying for? Don't lie at the coffin opening and delay the burial time."
Lin Wanning staggered and almost fell. The hatred in her eyes went straight to the bottom of her heart. Her reason told her that it was not the time to deal with this old hag yet.
At this moment, she aimed at the fake wound on Gu Zhendong's body and pretended to be extremely broken - hearted. She punched the wound one after another.
"Zhendong, how could you be so heartless?"
"We've only been married for a month, and we haven't even had our wedding night yet. How could you just leave?"
Gu Zhendong, with a pale face, was in so much pain from the punches that his eyelids couldn't stop twitching.
Seeing this, Lin Wanning immediately gritted her teeth and punched the wound with all her might again.
The originally small wound was smashed into a bloody mess by Lin Wanning.
Standing beside them, Zhou Manfeng thought that Lin Wanning had completely believed that Gu Zhendong was really dead. She couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
But when she saw her son's fake wound bleeding profusely, she felt heart - broken!
To divert Lin Wanning's attention, she immediately threw herself in front of the coffin as well. "My son, you died so miserably. You're making me, a white - haired person, bury a black - haired one. What's the meaning of my living?"
While shouting, she pretended to hit the coffin.
The widowed sister - in - law, Bai Xiaolian, tightly grabbed Zhou Manfeng. She also saw the wound bleeding.
She felt both heart - broken and anxious, but didn't dare to show too much. She could only wipe the sweat off her forehead.
Bracing herself, she took on the stance of an elder sister - in - law and tried to persuade Lin Wanning gently. "Sister - in - law, just take a look. Mom is old and can't bear it."
Seeing how smoothly the mother - in - law and the sister - in - law cooperated, Lin Wanning sneered in her heart.
She calmly pretended to be in grief and wiped her tears. "Don't say Mom can't bear it. I can't bear it either. Wuwu..."
"However, Zhendong has been dead for two days. Why is his wound still bleeding?"
Zhou Manfeng, who had been howling, was suddenly stunned by this question.
She thought Lin Wanning would only cry and never expected that she would use her brain while crying.
Zhou Manfeng dodged her eyes. After thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth and pointed at Lin Wanning, scolding viciously, "You heartless thing. This is the blood that had pooled in his wound. You hammered it all out."
"Ah!"
"Is it my fault?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Manfeng's heart skipped a beat.
Seeing this, Lin Wanning suppressed the smile in her heart. "Then I won't hammer anymore. After all, I can't bear to."
Zhou Manfeng and Bai Xiaolian visibly breathed a sigh of relief!
Lin Wanning sneered at their reactions. Seeing that they had relaxed their vigilance,
she immediately pretended to be extremely frightened. Her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in a contrived way. "No, there's something wrong with this coffin."
