Chapter 1

Rebirth

My mother-in-law, Wendy, disliked me because I didn't have children.

She teamed up with my sister-in-law, Erin Hill, to find a mistress for my husband and kicked me out of the house.

On the day of the divorce, I won the jackpot in the lottery, but had a car accident on the day of receiving the prize.

After Wendy found out, she threw a tantrum and wanted to take half of my assets.

Afraid that I would change my mind, she asked Erin's boyfriend secretly unplugged my ventilator.

When I opened my eyes again, Wendy was complaining to my husband.

"I just used her washbasin to wash underwear. Why did she get so angry? I don't blame anyone for not having had a grandchild for so many years."

Wendy sat on the sofa, rubbing her eyes vigorously.

Well, if she didn't make an effort, how could she squeeze out tears?

My husband, Xavier Hill, just fell for it.

"It's just a basin, Mom. Use whichever one you want in the future."

In the past, I would definitely have argued back.

And in return, I would receive a beating from Xavier.

Now...

"Mom is right. It's just a washbasin. You can use whichever one you want in the future."

I smiled and tore off all the labels on the basins, casually taking one and putting it in the kitchen.

"Xavier, look at her. I should just go back to my hometown. Your wife doesn't welcome me."

"Mom, this is your home. Whoever dares not to welcome you, I'll make her leave!"

Xavier glared at me fiercely.

"Erin will bring her boyfriend over in the evening, and you go to the supermarket to buy some spare ribs, roasted chicken, and so on."

"The rice and noodles at home are not enough."

I reached out my hand and Xavier reluctantly took out 60 dollars.

"Didn't I give you 200 dollars last month? Can't you save some?"

How ridiculous!

Don't you have any idea how difficult it is to take care of you?

After getting married, I was forced to become a housewife.

Xavier claimed that he was letting me enjoy a comfortable life at home.

In reality, he treated me as a free babysitter.

Except for the monthly allowance, he handed over all his income to his mother.

I had no idea how much property he actually had.

There were three months left before I won the jackpot.

I wanted them to know that a free babysitter was not that easy to use.

As soon as I left the house, I went directly to the hospital for a gynecological examination.

I laughed when I saw the test results.

Every month, Wendy kept track of the time to make Xavier and I have physical relationship.

Since I was fine but we couldn't have a baby, how did the mistress get pregnant?

Chapter 2

In the evening, I cooked dinner on time.

Then I pretended to feel unwell and let Wendy set the dishes on the table.

As soon as Erin and her boyfriend entered the house, their smiling faces immediately turned serious.

"Mom, is there no one available at home? Why are you doing the housework?"

"I'm happy when you come back, even if I'm tired."

"There are spare ribs and roasted chicken."

"Yes, your brother specially bought them for you."

I was used to their attitude a long time ago.

But I still felt bitterly disappointed.

Since I married Xavier, I hadn't done anything wrong to Wendy and Erin.

But they had never treated me as a family member.

They didn't even treat me as a free babysitter.

For example, now they were eating at the dining table, while I could only eat on the coffee table.

Because Wendy said I didn't give birth to a son, I couldn't sit at the main table.

"How about getting a few crabs for sister-in-law?" Erin's boyfriend, Eddy Harris, asked quietly.

Xavier didn't even lift his head.

"No, she is allergic to seafood."

Erin sneered and said, "Allergic? Someone from humble backgrounds just can't get used to the high life. Mom, the crab is so delicious."

"If you like it, eat more."

I bit my cheek hard with my head down, afraid to burst into laughter the next second.

How can the crabs in the foot basin not smell good.

While I was clearing the table, Wendy was frowning and pacing around the room.

"Where is my foot basin?"

I kindly pointed to the tea table. "Didn't you use it to put crabs?"

The room seemed to be paused.

Immediately, the three rushed into the bathroom.

How could Eddy bear it? He said 'goodbye' before running out of the door.

But he might have forgotten that there was an echo in the corridor.

The next second, the whole building was filled with his vomiting noises.

"You...you did it on purpose!" Mother-in-law gritted her teeth.

"Mom, for heaven's sake, you personally served the crab. Besides, it's just a basin. Any one is the same. Do you really need to get so angry?"

"You...ugh!"

"If Eddy breaks up with me because of this, I'll have my brother beat you to death!" Erin chased after Eddy, still threatening me while vomiting.

I sneered inwardly.

Besides being a troublemaker, Erin was also a love-brained person.

Although there were many suspicious points about Eddy, she turned a blind eye to them.

I had reminded her many times, but she ridiculed me instead, saying that I was just sour grapes.

She said I wanted to ruin her happiness because I was incapable of finding a husband who loved me.

Words of wisdom can hardly dissuade those doomed to their fate.

An early death brings an early rebirth.

It was not that much for me to help her casually.

Chapter 3

"Erin, I was wrong before." I ran downstairs and grabbed Erin's hand.

She was stunned, unable to believe her ears.

"What did you say?"

I was extremely sad and shed two tears.

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have said negative about Eddy.

"As the saying goes, if you want to capture a man's heart, you must first capture his stomach."

"That makes sense."

She looked at me for a few seconds and nodded solemnly.

I knew it, whenever Eddy was mentioned, Erin's mind would be like being kicked by a donkey.

Eddy's hometown was famous for its spicy food.

But Erin didn't know that Eddy couldn't eat spicy food at all.

The vegetable stall owner and I were very familiar with each other.

I gave him a heads-up in advance, so he would pick out the spiciest chili peppers for me every day.

Erin had never done any housework, let alone cooking.

She screamed when the oil was heated, and forgot to turn on the range hood, making people choke and sneeze.

I sat on a small stool on the corridor, cracking melon seeds and cheering.

Because I told Erin that cooking by herself showed her sincerity.

In order to let Eddy feel her sincerity, she didn't rely on others at all.

I could tell how effective this method was just by seeing how sweet she smiled every day.

And with my embellishment, she became even more enthusiastic.

Eddy secretly went to the hospital more often.

I always ate outside before coming back every day.

Anyway, I always ate on the coffee table.

Even if I secretly poured it, they wouldn't notice.

But Wendy and Xavier at the same table with Erin suffered.

They already had hemorrhoids.

They ate so much spicy that there was no room in the drawer for hemorrhoid medicine.

They did resist.

But Erin's temper had been spoiled, and no one could afford to provoke her.

Later, Xavier simply made an excuse to eat at the company.

But Wendy suffered.

Finally, Wendy got a serious stomach illness.

Looking at the bathroom that looked like a crime scene, I couldn't help but sigh.

"What a great mother!"
