Chapter 1

I advised Alita Morgan not to marry my brother Ethan.

But she suspected that I had a crush on Ethan, and after they got married she was always on guard against me for fear that I would steal her husband.

It wasn't until she gave birth to the child that she realized everything had changed, but it was too late!

Finally, Alita couldn't stand it anymore, but she didn't dare to hurt others, so she vented her anger on me.

She tricked me into her home, locked the door, and turned on the gas, intending to die with me.

When I opened my eyes after suffocating to death, I found that everything seemed to have gone backward. Ethan and Alita were happily having a wedding in front of me.

When I saw Alita's face again, I smiled.

In the previous life, she was so ruthless. In this life, I would make her see the consequences she deserved!

***

Ethan brought his girlfriend home some time ago after dating her for two months.

My mother Mary was extremely happy. While preparing for the wedding, she kept saying that our family would finally have a successor.

Mary seemed to be very happy but in fact...

She put sharp pebbles into the wedding shoes Alita was going to wear.

One day, Mary secretly pulled me into the house, acting mysterious.

"Alice, go get Alita's wedding clothes and shoes for me, and remember not to let anyone see you!"

Mary put the wedding dress I brought back into the box and took out the red dress she had prepared earlier.

Then she embedded many sharp pebbles into the soles of the wedding shoes.

Mary said, "Wearing these, Alita won't be able to escape on the wedding day. After all, she is going to stay at home after her wedding, so it's okay if her feet bleed a little!"

I knew what she meant.

After getting married, Alita would have to keep giving birth to children for our family until she gave birth to a son.

Some women realized this before they got married and ran away.

So the people in my hometown came up with this method. Even if those women tried to escape, they would be covered in blood, and the pain on the soles of their feet would slow them down and make them be caught again.

But here, many women gave birth to seven or eight children before they gave birth to a son. If they couldn't give birth to a son, they had to continue giving birth unless they died.

I had seen those women wailing in pain when giving birth.

Therefore, in my previous life, I tried my best to help Alita.

Alita was very beautiful. Her skin was particularly good among us, and she looked like a very well-behaved girl.

Although I couldn't understand why I returned to this time, I subconsciously felt I should do something.

In my previous life, I threw the pair of shoes Alita was going to wear into the water before the wedding.

For this, I was severely beaten by Mary.

But in this life, I looked at that pair of wedding shoes, smiled, and put them back in their original place.

Some people were not worth saving at all!

At this moment, I was looking forward to tomorrow more than anyone else.

I would never forget my tragic death in my previous life. Alita's hateful face was reflected in the firelight, and she sounded calm.

"Alice, I don't mean it, but I have no other choice.

"Because I can do nothing to anyone else except you, so you should go to hell with me!

"I wonder what Ethan, that bastard, would be like if he knew that I had taken his sister to hell?"

t got dawned quickly, and Alita put on the shoes according to the procedure.

Alita's expression changed as Mary smiled.

"Mom..."

She wanted to say something but was quickly pulled out by the crowd of people who came into the room. "Hurry up, or the wedding will be delayed."

I watched Alita walk out of the living room wearing those shoes.

I turned around and met Mary's gaze. She just gave me orders as usual.

"Alice, don't just stand there, go get the things in the house and follow me!"

After saying this, she hurriedly caught up with the main group.

Of course, I knew what she was talking about. It was something used to pad the knees, which was said to have been passed down from my mother's grandmother to the present.

Holding that thing in my arms, I also caught up with the team.

When Alita got married, she had to kowtow to every household, which meant that she would become a part of this place in the future.

This was done to seek everyone's consent.

However, Ethan and Mary did not tell this to Alita in advance, because they knew Alita would never agree.

She would have to kneel even if she didn't want to.

Chapter 2

Alita was pushed forward by the group of people.

Blood began to ooze from her shoes, leaving marks on the ground.

But the wedding shoes were red, so the blood was not obvious. Besides, no one would say anything even if they saw it.

Alita suffered so much that her forehead was covered with sweat and she looked back several times.

She seemed to be looking for something.

I silently took a few steps back and hid myself in the crowd.

Before Alita came to my house, I had shown my kindness and love to her, so now I was the only one she could ask for help here.

But how could I help her now?

Alita walked to the door of the first house in that pair of shoes.

Just when she was puzzled, I walked up and threw the thing in my hand to the ground.

Mary stood beside me and spoke in a cold and arrogant tone, "Kneel!"

People around cast excited glances at Alita, but Ethan, on the other hand, had a calm expression.

Alita looked at the people surrounding her in confusion.

"Why should I kneel?"

Alita looked helpless and cautious. She looked at me for help from time to time, but I crossed my arms and turned my gaze away coldly.

Seeing Alita was unwilling to kneel, Mary became furious and said, "Just kneel. You can't take the consequences if you delay the wedding!"

Only then did Alita react.

Almost at the same time, she widened her eyes in disbelief and said, "You want me to kneel here?

"Why? I won't kneel!"

She had been enduring being watched like a clown, but now she had to kneel in public.

It was a humiliation to her.

"Don't you want to kneel? That's not up to you!" Mary at the side suddenly looked gloomy and smiled sinisterly.

Alita still didn't understand, but I had already looked elsewhere.

Because the following scene was too cruel.

As Mary did this, Alita soon let out a scream, and her knee was hit hard from behind by a stick.

With a loud sound, her knee hit the ground.

Alita knelt right at the gate of the first house, tears welling up in her eyes.

But before she could speak anything, she was dragged to the next house.

It lasted until the evening, and after all the wedding procedures were completed, Alita officially married Ethan.

In the evening, Alita, who had been crying, was hugged and comforted by Ethan. She instantly seemed to be fine, became affectionate with Ethan, and completely forgot everything that had happened in the afternoon.

Well, how come I didn't realize she was so easy to please in my previous life? They were truly a perfect match.

But Alita still noticed that something was wrong with me.

When I was in school, I suddenly received a text message from Alita, asking me if I had any prejudice against her and why I suddenly seemed to dislike her.

I looked at the message and smiled coldly without replying.

That was because I had been too nice to her and she thought I was the easiest one to control in my previous life!

In this life, no one could mess with me again.

Because I lived in the high school dormitory, I didn't go home until the weekend after school. I found Alita sitting on the sofa, covering her face and crying.

I was a little confused.

This was unreasonable because they had just been married for a week.

After asking, I found out that Mary's bracelet was lost. At this time, Mary came out of the room in anger.

She cursed, "I've looked everywhere but can't find it!

"You're the only one staying at home all day, who else could it be except you?"

Alita was speechless.

Chapter 3

Of course, I wouldn't speak for Alita, so I just carried my schoolbag and planned to go back to my room.

But Alita suddenly grabbed my wrist.

I saw a pleading look on her face.

"Alice, you know that I am not that kind of person, please help me...

"Didn't you like me much before I married Ethan? Just say something for me, and your mother will believe you!"

Alita looked at me with a pleading look on her face.

I looked at Mary and happened to meet her gaze.

It seemed as if I could dispel the suspicion on Alita with just one word.

But how could I do as she wished? I gently pushed Alita's hand away and said, "Alita, I have been at school this week, so matters at home should be handled by whoever is at home.

"Besides, my mother is not that mean. If you didn't take it, it must have been left somewhere. Just help her find it."

I said this calmly, shook off her hand and went into my room.

On the contrary, Ethan didn't say a word but looked a little weird.

According to the characteristic of Ethan, I could guess where the bracelet had gone. I said this just to give everyone a way out.

If they kept looking for it, maybe the bracelet would appear somewhere.

But Mary still insisted that it was Alita who took the bracelet, and shouted that if Alita couldn't find it, Alita would have to compensate at the original price.

"Who else could be except you? Could it be that my son stole the bracelet?"

Mary was so anxious that she became unreasonable.

Even had no way of arguing.

She didn't quite understand why Mary would get so angry just over a bracelet.

She didn't understand why the bracelet disappeared inexplicably either.

Suddenly, in despair, Alita turned her gaze to a pair of scissors on the table.

Ethan watched as Mary and Alita continued to argue, and he picked his ears impatiently.

He signed.

At this time, Mary was still busy and rummaging through the drawers.

"That's my heirloom. It's been with me since I got married. How could it just disappear like that?

"Oh my god, what bad luck!

"I am so miserable. My only treasure is lost!"

After I put down my schoolbag, I heard the noise in the living room, but fortunately, I was not involved.

I planned to come out and see what was going on after I finished my homework.

But I didn't expect that when I opened the door, I saw Alita's eyes suddenly become fierce and the scissors in her hand.

The light of the scissors shot straight at my head.

Suddenly, I felt a chill in my heart.

In a trance, I remembered Alita's look when she locked me in the house and turned on the gas.

For a moment, I subconsciously wanted to run to my room.

But before I could take a step, the scissors turned in the air and pointed straight at Alita's aorta!

It seemed to be about to pierce her skin in the next second.

Alita's hand holding the scissors couldn't stop shaking. She looked determined and desperate.

She almost shouted, "I've already said I didn't do it! Mom, why can't you just believe me for once?

"Do you want me to die in front of you to prove that I didn't do it?"

I took a step and was about to go back to my room quietly, but I didn't expect that Alita's gaze would instantly lock on me as soon as I moved. She then looked at me angrily, with murderous intent in her eyes.
