Before getting married, I moved back home to get married at my Maternal Home. Shortly after the wedding, I became pregnant. My brother was very happy and bought a lot of supplements, supporting my move back home, saying that our mother could take care of me.
The day after I moved back, in the middle of the night, I got up to pour some water. To my surprise, I saw my brother sitting at the dining table, holding something in his hand. As I approached to take a look, my scalp went numb. It was a dried placenta.
He looked up and gave me a strange smile, saying, "Sister, can you guess whose placenta this is?"
"Ah!" I screamed and turned to run away. He caught up with me and pushed me hard. I fell down the stairs and died on the spot.
My back felt cold as my fingers tightened around my phone. Shasha asked me, "Yin Yin, what's wrong?"
I shook my head and replied, "It's nothing, I'm just too tired. If the therapist adds another hour, it's on me."
As I lay there with my head down, slowly accepting the reality of my rebirth while the therapist skillfully massaged me, I returned home after work that evening to find my mother busy in the kitchen.
My sister-in-law was lying on the sofa when she suddenly exclaimed, "Ouch!"
My mother rushed out of the kitchen and asked nervously, "What happened?"
My sister-in-law frowned and said, "My foot is cramping."
My mother said with concern, "I told you not to do so much housework; you didn't listen. Look at this."
After saying that, my mother turned to me and called out, "Yin Yin, hurry up and give your sister-in-law a foot massage."
In my previous life, my mother also used this commanding tone to make me do various things.
I couldn't be bothered to argue, so I walked over and pinched my sister-in-law's foot.
She screamed, "Lu Yinyin, be gentle!"
I replied with an "Oh" and applied more pressure.
Her screams grew louder.
My mother, concerned, scolded me, "Be gentle! Your sister-in-law is pregnant and can't handle that kind of pressure."
I smiled and said, "Mom, you don't understand. This is a calcium deficiency; that's why her foot is cramping. If I help her by massaging it, she won't cramp when she walks."
As I spoke, I looked at my sister-in-law and increased the pressure. "Sister-in-law, isn't that right?"
In pain, her face twisted as she nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes."
"Then you need to move around more and not just lie down all the time. It's not good for the baby."
After saying that, I deliberately pressed down hard on her foot.
She screamed again.
My mother quickly came over to pull me away, "Alright, let your sister-in-law rest for a bit."
I got up with a smile, "Okay, sister-in-law, take a good rest."
She was sweating from the pain and didn't drink a single drop of the chicken soup my mother had made before heading back to her room.
I sneered.
Later that evening, my brother knocked on my door and asked through gritted teeth, "Lu Yinyin, what did you do to Xiaobing? She's been sulking all night."
I looked at him coldly and replied, "Brother, that's a strange thing to say. What could I possibly do to my sister-in-law?"
He bared his teeth at me, "It better not be anything. If I find out you've bullied Xiaobing, I won't let you off easily."
In front of him, I slammed the door shut.
Outside the door, I could hear him gritting his teeth and muttering, "Lu Yinyin, have you gone too far?"
To prevent the baby from growing too fast, my sister-in-law only ate a little bit each day.
My mother had advised her several times and even brought her mother over.
The two of them whispered in the room for the entire afternoon.
When I got home from work, my sister-in-law's mother had just left.
My mother brought a bowl of chicken soup to my sister-in-law.
Holding her mouth, my sister-in-law gagged a few times and impatiently said, "Mom, I don't want to drink it. I'll just have some porridge."
