In this life, I tried every effort to cheat him, but he was so moved.
He was so stupid that I wondered if he was my biological son.
I couldn't wait to see how Mary fooled him.

The next day, we set off for Mary's hometown.
The old low house was dirty everywhere and there was only one bed in the room.
Half of the bed was covered with miscellaneous items, and the other half was occupied by a paralyzed old man.
Presumably, this was Mary's mother.
Mary helped her mother Sofia up.
"Mom, I came back with my husband this time."
Sofia's eyes blurred and she kept moaning for a while, obviously not sober.
Dylan came over and called Sofia eagerly.
But he was slapped hard in the face by Sofia.
He said clearly, "Go away."
Mary quickly apologized, saying that her mother had been ill for a long time and often mistook people for others.
Dylan wanted to fight back reflexively, but he quickly reacted and could only say with a gloomy face, "It's okay."
This seemed to be the first time he had been beaten in his life.
I stood aside and saw the hatred in his eyes clearly.
At this time, a man about the same age as Mary came into the room.
The man had a wretched appearance, was fat, and was a bit shorter than Mary.
He looked familiar to me.
Mary warmly took the man's arm and introduced him to us, saying that he was her brother, named Stephan.
Mary didn't know that in my previous life, I had already investigated her thoroughly.
She was the only child in her family, how could she have a brother?
Stephan must be her lover.
I finally remembered who he was.
Mary married Stephan in her previous life!
Dylan, however, was completely oblivious to everything and even foolishly tried to get close to Stephan.
He called Stephan in a very affectionate way.
I thought about what Stephan had done and laughed secretly in my heart.
I said in my heart, "Dylan, marry Mary, then you will suffer."
Stephan was not polite and asked for money right away.
I said that my investment failed and I didn't have much cash on hand, so I could only give thirty thousand dollars, but I could make up the rest when I got the money back.
I was determined, so they could do nothing to me.
They could only accept it with a gloomy face.
Thirty thousand dollars could only afford a small banquet in the city, but in rural areas where the consumption level was extremely low, it could be used to hold a pretty good wedding.
