Covering up the truth: She likes to pay for her husband's cheating Chapter 1

My second uncle and a female anchor had sex, and my aunt discovered it. Then he ran to our house for help, but my parents ended up being killed by my out-of-control aunt with a knife. After our family was ruined and our family members died, my second uncle became the guardian of my sister and me.

He sold my parents' house and traveled around with the female anchor.

My sister and I were forced to live in a plastic shed near a garbage dump, making a living by collecting garbage.

We ate expired bread, and rotten vegetable leaves, and occasionally managed to snatch a couple of pieces of meat from a wild dog.

My second uncle threatened us to hand over 1000 dollars every month. Otherwise, we would have to drop out of school and work in a sports house.

On New Year's Eve, my 15-year-old sister had a rabies attack and died in front of our parents' tombstone.

My second uncle locked me in a firewood shed on a remote mountain for fear of my revenge, leaving me to fend for myself.

That night, I broke free from the iron chains and walked all night until I finally arrived at my second uncle's doorstep.

My second uncle was lying in bed with the female anchor in his arms, smiling happily. Seeing this, I didn't hesitate to pour gasoline on them.

I lit the gasoline up with a match. The flames devoured everything like a wild beast. Screams echoed in the night sky.

In the end, I turned into ashes with them.

Upon opening my eyes, I went back to the night, when my second uncle came to our house for help.

——

Outside a yard, my second uncle was banging on the iron gate frantically. He said, "Sister, brother-in-law, please save me. That shrew wants to kill me with a knife."

Our family of four sat down to have dinner, my parents and Oliva smiled relaxedly.

I just came back alive to this moment. Before I could have the chance to truly feel the warmth of being reunited with my family, the crisis was imminent.

My mom anxiously put down her utensils, preparing to rush outside.

At that moment, the scene of my parents covered in blood in the yard from the previous life flashed through my mind. I couldn't breathe.

"Mom, please don't go out and open the door. You will lose your life." I reached out and grabbed her sleeve, kneeling on the ground.

My mom stopped and tried to help me up, saying, "You silly child. The person outside the door is your second uncle and my younger brother. I have to go out and see what's going on."

Beside us, my father joined in persuading me, saying, "Emery, quickly get up. We have dealt with your second uncle's matters before. We are just going out to mediate a fight. How could we lose our lives? Get up quickly. I will serve you a sandwich."

Outside the courtyard, my second uncle's shouts became more and more urgent, but to me, it was like a call of death.

I stood up, smashed a bowl, and grabbed a sharp piece before pressing it tightly against my neck.

To ensure their safety on this crucial night, I would risk everything.

"Dad, Mom, do you know what my second uncle did to me?" Tears welled up in my eyes.

"A few days ago, I followed my mom's instructions to send him food, but he accused me of trying to poison him. He slapped me twice and poured all the food on me." I suddenly stopped, and my body trembled even more.

It was a terrifying memory from my past life. After my dad and my mom passed away, my second uncle told me that a super boss in the north was interested in adopting my sister.

I knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly and begging him to spare us.

My second uncle grabbed my hair, saying, "I can't afford to support two money-losing mouths. One of you must go out and earn money, right?"

In despair, I exchanged my parents' house for the freedom of my sister and me.

In this life, my dad and my mom were still alive. My second uncle had yet to reveal his malice for the time being.

I shouted with all my heart, "He's just a beast. You can't go save him!"

My sister was scared by my intense action. She started crying. She leaned on my dad's lap and said, "Dad, Emery's neck is bleeding. You should listen to her."

My mom's face was filled with disbelief and shock. She widened her eyes and said, "Emery, you can't say such things randomly! I'll go out and find out the truth!"

My dad protected my sister behind him and rolled up his sleeves. He said, "If he hits you, I'll make him pay back a hundred times!"

I shook my head in pain and said, "Let's talk about this tomorrow. Tonight, you can't go out."

"Listen! My auntie is scolding him outside!"

Outside the house, my auntie's sharp scolding was mixed with my second uncle's begging.

“Edward Lau! You stole 10 thousand dollars from me to give to that slut! You spent over 100 thousand dollars to have sex with that woman! Are you happy? Tonight, I'll make sure you have no ball!"

When I wasn't paying attention, my mom took the fragment from my hands and hugged me, crying bitterly.

After a while, the sound of my auntie riding a tricycle faded away. The yard was quiet again.
