In my previous life, my sister-in-law asked me to help her take care of her children.
As a result, I took the risk of being fired from my job and took a day off.
I never thought that my nephew would add rat poison powder into my cup and even sneak out while I was cooking.
He was found dead the next day after falling from a building.
My sister-in-law scolded me and asked me why I was babysitting her child that day. My mother and brother also called me vicious and even set fire to my house. In the end, my daughter and I died in the fire.
But what they didn’t know was that it was my sister-in-law who asked me to help her take care of the child.
Once again, I went back to the day when my sister-in-law asked me to help take care of the child.
***
“I have something important to do. Can you please help me take care of the children? I beg you.”
Seeing my sister-in-law looking anxious and almost kneeling down to beg me, I knew that I was reborn on the day when she begged me to help her take care of her child.
Soon, my thoughts flew into the scene where my daughter and I were being burned to death in the raging flames.
I just felt that terrible pain coming back again and an endless hatred surged in my heart. I almost lost control and rushed forward to strangle my sister-in-law to death.
In my previous life, for the sake of being a family, I took the risk of being fired from the factory and took care of my sister-in-law’s children.
But I never thought my nephew would put rat poison in my water cup.
Once I found out, my nephew quickly admitted his mistake to me and didn’t cause any more trouble for the whole morning.
I thought these were just pranks played by my young nephew, so I prepared lunch for him. But after I finished cooking, my nephew disappeared.
I panicked and called my sister-in-law tremblingly.
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law put the blame on me without any evidence and threatened that if anything happened to my nephew, she would kill me.
At that time, I understood her worry. After all, it was indeed my fault that I didn't take good care of my nephew.
It was reasonable for my sister-in-law to resent me and I blamed myself to the point of nearly collapsing.
On the next day, my nephew was found, he was terribly injured. The police determined that he had jumped from the 23rd floor and died.
My sister-in-law asked me to give her 150,000 as hush money, but of course I wouldn't agree.
As a result, my sister-in-law used the Internet to exaggerate the story of her son falling to his death and slandered me as an unforgivable sinner.
Since then, our door was filled with wreaths by uninformed netizens. Some people even threw red paint on my door and put dead rats in it.
For a while, my daughter and I were like rats crossing the street, being chased by everyone.
My daughter, Lily, gradually became withdrawn and even showed suicidal tendencies.
Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law and the others were still not satisfied and actually broke into my house.
My mother slapped me in the face again and again while scolding, “It was you who killed our Bailey Family's only son, why wasn't your daughter the one who died, Ruth?
“I want you and your daughter, who is worthless, to be buried with Allen.”
My sister-in-law poured a bucket of gasoline on me, her cold eyes seemed to be filled with poison.
She said cruelly, “It's all your fault, Ruth. Since you can't take good care of Allen, just leave this world quickly!”
My brother punched me repeatedly and finally took out a lighter before he said, “I know you used to hate me because our mother used your money to buy me a house. But killing Allen to avenge us is considered a betrayal, Ruth.
“That’s why I will make you accompany Allen to his grave.”
I begged them desperately, asking them to take revenge on me alone and to spare Lily's life.
But these beasts had no humanity at all, they even watched Lily and I burn to death.
The burning flesh, tearing and my daughter's heart-wrenching screams seemed to echo in my ears.
My eyes were red and my whole body was shaking violently.
But my sister-in-law didn't take my strange behavior seriously. She pushed my nephew in front of me with a smile and said, "No worries, I will treat you to a big meal when I come back."
To avoid the same mistakes I made in my previous life, I avoided my nephews like the plague and pushed them out the door with a sneer, “The factory is rushing to meet deadlines recently. If I ask for leave, I will definitely be fired. Just find someone else to take care of it.”
Chapter 2
My sister-in-law was known for being hot-tempered.
The reason why I always tolerated my sister-in-law was that I was worried that she would get angry and vent it on my mother when she got home.
But after my last life, I had no psychological burden at all.
Just because my nephew died from falling off a building, they let my five-year-old daughter die. So, I would not have stood by and watched them die again like that.
In this life, I would just watch my sister-in-law and her family suffer retribution.
After my sister-in-law heard my rejection, her eyes widened in shock, “Ruth, Allen is your nephew, what's wrong with you? As an aunt, is it your responsibility to take care of your nephew?
“Are you ignoring your own relatives right now?”
I already hated my mother and brother, so I would not tolerate my sister-in-law's moral blackmail any longer. That was why I sneered, “Sister-in-law, you don't have a job, do you?
“My mother is responsible for all the housework at home. How come you don't even have time to take care of the children? Are you hiding something from my brother?”
I was stupid in my previous life too.
My sister-in-law had not worked since she married my brother and she never took care of household affairs. What urgent matter could she actually have?
As a result, my sister-in-law's eyes were erratic and she was obviously furious and yelled at me, “Little bitch, what nonsense are you talking about, huh?
“I just ask your help to take care of Allen today, so don’t make this thing difficult. What kind of thing do I hide from your family? I think it’s you who is hiding something from them, so that you won’t let your nephew come to your house!”
If I had heard that before, I would have compromised. But at that moment, I only had hatred towards my brother, so I could not wait for him to get his comeuppance.
I pushed my sister-in-law aside and walked into the elevator. But when I heard my nephew's words, my whole body froze, “Grandma said that Auntie is a money-loser. She should serve us like a slave for her whole life. Why are you begging her?
“Also her daughter is a money-loser too. She will be exchanged for money to marry me in the future.”
My nephew looked at me with more and more contempt when he continued, “If it weren’t for the fact that Lily, that little bastard, was still somewhat useful, I would have suffocated her to death when we were playing games last time.”
I was so angry that I was shaking all over. So, I slapped my nephew before he could finish his words.
I yelled at him until the nerve visibly appeared on my forehead, “You vicious thing, is this what your parents taught you?”
I felt a little bit reluctant at first, but at that time I thought my nephew deserved to die.
Well, such inhumane scourges would harm society when they grew up. So, it was better to distinguish them as soon as possible.
My nephew covered his face and looked at me with disbelief.
After all, I used to dote on my nephew very much. Sometimes, even though I knew that my nephew bullied my daughter, I never said a harsh word to him.
I would buy my nephew something that my daughter had and I treated him better than my own daughter. Unexpectedly, in the end, all my sincerity was wasted.
As expected, that family was a bunch of ungrateful wolves who are not worthy of my sincere love for them.
After thinking about it, my mind suddenly remembered the scene when my nephew put rat poison in my water cup in order to poison me in my previous life.
I immediately slapped my nephew in the face again and scolded, “You are so vicious at such a young age. As your aunt, I should teach you a lesson.”
As a result, my nephew covered his face and cried loudly.
“Bitch, you dare to hit my son.”
My sister-in-law rushed over to hit me, but I pushed her so hard that she staggered a few times.
I had been doing heavy work in the factory all year round, so naturally I couldn't compare to my sister-in-law who had never done any housework.
“Bitch, you are such a rebel. Remember this! I will make you lose your job. Just wait.”
My sister-in-law didn't expect that I would dare to fight back. She was so angry that her whole body was shaking. She even glared at me fiercely and pulled my nephew away.
Chapter 3
In the end, my sister-in-law left with her son.
I knew that my sister-in-law and my family would definitely take revenge on me and my daughter, so I quickly went to my daughter's kindergarten.
When I thought of the scene of my daughter’s tragic death in the sea of fire, I felt as if my heart was being cut by a knife. That was why I hugged my daughter tightly and cried for a long time.
I secretly swore that I would never let those beasts hurt my daughter again in this life.
I left and repeatedly told the teacher that no one except me could take my daughter away.
After that, I returned to the factory. There, I saw my leader walking towards me with a grim look on his face.
My heart could not skip a beat.
Was my mother pretending to be a weak person on the Internet again to gain sympathy?
My mother also slandered me on the Internet before, just because I didn’t hand in my salary on time. As a result, she almost made me lose my job.
My mother often said, “If you hadn't asked your brother to go out and play when he was a child, he wouldn't have burned his lungs in the rain and he wouldn't have been unable to do heavy work.
“You should support your brother for the rest of his life.”
Just because of what she said, I dropped out of school early and supported my brother for more than ten years, even earning enough money to buy him a house and help him get married.
But they were still not satisfied and forced me to hand over my salary every month.
My husband also filed for divorce because he couldn't stand my family.
But what my mother didn't know was that it was my brother who asked me to go out to play.
However, after being discovered, my brother pushed all the blame on me.
I had never understood why she treated me differently, even though we were both her own children.
The leader saw me standing there in a daze with red eyes and sighed softly, “I know it's not easy for you, but you also know the importance of public opinion. I can't let our factory take any risks.
“Why don't you take a rest at home for a few days and come back to work after your mother calms down.”
When I heard that, I felt a chill all over my body and began to tremble uncontrollably.
Just because I didn't agree to help my sister-in-law take care of her children, was my mother going to destroy my job?
Did she know that her family of four depends on me for support?
I walked out of the factory in a daze, getting angrier and angrier the more I thought about it, so I took out my cell phone and called my mother.
Unexpectedly, she called first, with a crying voice, “Allen... Allen is missing.”
