Chapter 210: But she didn't know that a dying person's curse really does come true!

Wuu wuu wuu.

You poisonous woman!

You will die a horrible death!

I curse you, your children will be born defective, and sooner or later my son will despise them!

In the shack, Zhou's mother, who used to scold loudly every night, after being abandoned by her husband and son, had her mouth stuffed with a towel by the son's newlywed wife.

Paralyzed and unable to move, Zhou's mother could only glare at her with a murderous stare.

Zhang Xuemei, under the pretense of wiping the other's body, leaned in close to whisper in their ear:

"Mom, save your strength; I advise you not to waste effort, just accept your fate, or else you really won't have a life."

Zhou's mother's forehead veins bulged; she realized it wasn't a mistake from eating wild vegetables, but that this wicked person had schemed against her!

"Now you're the fish and meat, I'm the cutting board; if you want to die, I can grant you that."

Under the dim kerosene lamp, Zhang Xuemei's face looked especially eerie.

But she didn't know that a dying person's curse really does come true!

Zhou's mother had lived a life of bullying and oppression, but in the end this vicious daughter-in-law dealt her a blow; she would rather die at home than be sent to her hometown to be tortured by so-called relatives!

After dawn, Zhou's father woke with a shiver, wondering why it felt chilly despite the hot weather.

He turned and saw his old wife staring at him, eyes unclosed, her body already stiff!

Ah—

Zhou's father, already guilty, was completely frightened and screamed.

Not just next door, even the neighbors in the nearby shacks were all woken up by the noise!

"What's going on? Dad, what are you shouting about so early in the morning?"

"Just go see and you'll know."

Zhang Xuemei, half-asleep, yawned without paying any more attention.

Soon after, Zhou Haitao came running back, dazed and missing a shoe!

"Not good, Mom's dead!"

"Huh?"

"Dead?"

Zhang Xuemei couldn't show her happiness on her face, but inside she was thrilled.

Old hag, good riddance!

Now we don't have to give money to the rural relatives; we can just send her straight to the crematorium, burn her, and bury her somewhere.

Zhou's mother's death caused no stir in the shack area.

Everyone thought she got what she deserved; who made Zhou's mother offend so many neighbors while she was alive?

Thus, everyone believed she died of natural causes.

From then on, Zhang Xuemei firmly established her position in the Zhou family.

Behind her back, many people criticized her for giving up a good life as a wealthy wife to chase after Director Zhou, who falls short of her ex-husband in every way.

But on the surface, things were passable, not utterly unpleasant.

As Zhang Xuemei's pregnancy became visible, everyone said her belly was pointy, so it must be a boy.

She thought the same; when she was pregnant with a daughter, her belly was round......

Oh no, she had been so busy fighting Zhou's mother that she forgot to keep looking for her own daughter!

Now that she had control of the Zhou family's lifeline and financial power, it was time to search for her daughter's whereabouts!

Over there, the Railway Bureau staff quarters.

Liu Bureau Chief's family was still quite pleased with Gu Yinyin as their daughter-in-law.

Mainly because their son liked her, they took a liking to her as well.

Gu Tingchen's days at work finally got better.

Along the way, he and Ye Mei Qin also smoothly obtained their marriage certificate; she brought a generous dowry, marrying him and bringing him honor.

The house was no longer in a bare state; the new wife had good taste, making the home cozy and stylish.

On the coffee table, counter, and dining table, there was always a bunch of fresh flowers, often sprigs of platycodon.

The new wife said, this is her lucky flower, and she likes it very much.

Gu Tingchen didn't have to worry about household affairs at all; the new wife voluntarily took charge of chores and expenses, never asking him for anything, and often went shopping to buy him clothes......

If it weren't that every night he woke up, turned on the light, and looked over and over, seeing his new wife Ye Mei Qin lying beside him instead of his former wife Lu Manman, he would often feel insecure.

He felt that everything he now had was like a dream, too smooth to be believable!

The new wife was good in every way, perfect, except she was too chaste.

Whenever his desire was aroused, she always put the child first, following medical advice that they couldn't have sex for the first three months, and refused to be intimate with him.

Apart from that, in every other way he could find no fault with his wife at all!

Well, it's his first child, so he indeed needs to be more careful.

He must absolutely not let his child die young like his previous wife's child; this time he will surely be a good father!

A good husband, he will properly raise their children with his wife.

Pa-da.

After taking a cool shower in the bathroom and returning, Gu Tingchen gently turned off the room light, lay down gently, and dared not lie next to his wife in her loose silk nightgown.

Soon after, faint snoring sounded.

On the other side, the woman who should have been asleep opened her eyes, waited a moment, then moved gently, sat up, put on cotton slippers, and left the bedroom without making a sound.......

On the balcony of the living room, the woman leaned by the window, her beautiful gaze lifted to the crescent moon in the starry sky.

Longing sweeps over his heart like a tide; now, across the ocean, has his wish been fulfilled?

No matter what, she will give the child in her womb a proper status and household registration, so the child will not be illegitimate!

She, the child of Ye Mei Qin, deserves the very best!

Even if she must sacrifice her marriage and her love, she will not hesitate!

Tonight, there are especially many people who can't sleep.

For example, the Liu family: after coaxing her husband to sleep, Gu Yinyin put on her nightgown, barefoot, walked to the windowsill, gazed at the bright moon in the sky, her eyes filled with sorrow, longing for her grandfather far away in the northeast.

If she had known earlier that staying would mean marrying a man she doesn't love and living an unhappy life.

From the start, she shouldn't have been enamored with the capital's prosperity; she should have listened to her grandfather's advice and returned together to the northeast.

If her former sister-in-law weren't from the Lu family, perhaps she and the man she admires wouldn't have come to this point.

Now she has already married Liu Xiong Ying; there's no turning back!

What she should be grateful for is that Liu Xiong Ying, although intellectually challenged, has no tendency toward domestic violence.

Usually she also listens to her; when the parents-in-law set rules for her, he dazedly interrupts and pulls her away......

As husband and wife, they also haven't neglected what they should do.

Perhaps she is also carrying the Liu family's seed.

Her brother should be reassured; the Liu family's promise to her brother should not be broken......
