The conversation between my brother and that girl was overheard clearly by my sister-in-law. She never expected that my brother had long wanted to abandon her. Even more shocking was that he spoke ill of her behind her back. She completely broke down.
She took out a knife from her bag, walked up to my brother, and stabbed him in the temple. He died on the spot. Then, she turned the knife towards me. I was prepared; I kicked her leg, sending her crashing to the ground. After being knocked down, she still tried to stab me. At that moment, the police arrived. She was detained.
My mother lost her son, and my sister-in-law went to prison. Their only thought was Wen Haohao. However, Wen Haohao needed long-term dialysis. My mother had no choice but to come to me, hoping I could help her. I coldly said, "Whatever alimony you want, you can sue me in court. Whatever the court decides, I will pay, but I won’t give you a single penny more."
In court, Bai Zhenzhen acted erratically. Instead of defending herself, she kept shouting, "It's all your fault, Wen Ning, it's all your fault!" "You harmed my Haohou. You knew babies can't eat salt; why didn't you stop me? Why!" "Wen Ning, return my son to me! Return my son!"
Bai Zhenzhen's cries were particularly jarring in the courtroom. The judge ordered her to be quiet, but she seemed not to hear him. She continued shouting, "Wen Ning, may you not have peace! You harmed my son; may you not have peace!" The judge ordered her to be quiet again, but she ignored him. Finally, he had no choice but to have her taken away.
As she was led out, she still shouted, "Wen Ning, return my son! Return my son!" Shortly after Bai Zhenzhen was taken away, she was brought back in again. This time, she was no longer shouting. She seemed much calmer.
She slowly spoke up: "Your Honor, I want to say something." The judge asked, "What is it?" Bai Zhenzhen replied, "I have been reborn." The judge frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
Bai Zhenzhen explained: "I was reborn a long time ago. In my past life, Wen didn’t remind me about salt poisoning my son, leading to his kidney failure. I hated her for it; I thought she was cold-blooded and heartless for not saving him. So I killed her."
"After killing her, I also died."
"After my death, I found out I had been reborn. I wanted to save my son's life; I wanted Wen Ning to remind me and save him. I wanted to kill her and reclaim everything that belonged to me."
Bai Zhenzhen's words made everyone present understand that she truly had been reborn. Only someone who had been reborn would know what would happen in the future.
Only after being reborn can one be so certain; I will definitely remind her.
The judge asked, "So, you have been reborn and want to go back to the past to change your fate?"
Bai Zhenzhen nodded, "Yes."
The judge inquired, "On what basis do you think Wen Ning will remind you?"
Bai Zhenzhen replied, "Because when she was in college, a handsome guy pursued her. This handsome guy was her high school classmate, and they got along very well. He knew she had a nephew and even offered to treat her nephew to a meal."
"If Wen Ning reminds me, and I don't give the child salt, the child won't develop kidney disease, I won't kill her, she won't die, and she can be with her handsome guy."
"She didn't remind me out of her own selfish desires, which led to my child developing kidney disease. She is selfish and deserves to be killed by me!"
After saying this, Bai Zhenzhen glared at me fiercely.
The hatred in her eyes was clearly visible.
She still doesn't think she did anything wrong.
She believes that everything she did was for her child.
She is not wrong.
The one who is wrong is me.
The judge glanced at me and asked, "Wen Ning, do you have anything to say?"
I smiled and said, "I believe Bai Zhenzhen's rebirth is not a second chance given by fate but rather a lesson for her to understand the consequences of her actions."
"In this life, she committed crimes and killed for the health of her son; she not only destroyed herself but also ruined her son, her husband, and even her mother-in-law's entire life."
"Therefore, in this life, she and her husband and mother-in-law have all received their just deserts."
"And I have welcomed my new life."
After saying this, I bowed to the judge.
My career is thriving, and my life is rich and colorful.
I have several close friends by my side.
This is the kind of life I long for.
I no longer want to be dragged down by that vampire family.
Soon, it was time for the verdict.
Bai Zhenzhen was sentenced to life imprisonment for intentional homicide.
My mother suffered from the trauma of losing her son and developed mental issues; she was admitted to a psychiatric hospital.
After my mother entered the psychiatric hospital, there wasn't a day she didn't think about her son.
Every day she would murmur, "Where's my son? Why can't I see him?"
The nurse comforted her, "Your son is on a business trip; he will be back in a few days."
Upon hearing this, my mother smiled and said, "Okay, I'll wait for him."
However, by nightfall, she started to panic again: "Why hasn't my son come back? Does he not want me anymore?"
The nurse reassured her, "No way! Your son loves you the most."
After hearing this, my mother felt happy again.
But by midnight, she began to cause a scene once more.
The entire hospital was disturbed by her commotion.
With no other option left, the hospital administered a sedative so she could finally sleep.
This behavior continued for quite some time.
Eventually, the hospital had no choice but to perform electroconvulsive therapy on her.
Her condition has finally eased. However, she has become dull and unresponsive. She no longer causes trouble or makes noise; every day she just sits quietly, staring blankly out the window. Occasionally, she would ask, "What date is it today? Why hasn't my son come back yet?" The nurse would tell her, "It's the fifteenth; your son will be back soon." Then she would fall silent.
I learned about her situation from online research. I have no sympathy for her current state. She brought this upon herself. If she had not supported my brother and sister-in-law in harming me from the beginning, if she had been willing to save my life back then, she wouldn't have ended up like this. Unfortunately, she will never understand the need for self-reflection. She will never grasp what family affection truly means. She loves my brother simply because of her gender bias. She does not love me just because I am a girl. That is the truth.
Time flew by, and five years have passed. In these five years, I have completely freed myself from family members who brought me endless pain. I have embraced a new life.
One day after work, I received a WeChat message from my friend Xiao Na. Xiao Qin asked me, "Do you want hot pot or barbecue tonight?" I replied, "Hot pot." Xiao Na sent a smiley face: "Great! See you at our usual place."
