The black-bellied peasant girl is reborn, and her weird relatives are mad

The night was dark, and the yellow sand was raging in the small town in the Western Regions. Every household had locked their doors early. The streets were empty, and the dead leaves were dancing in the air, making the small town look desolate.

In an adobe house on the outskirts of the city, the doors and windows were locked, and a dim oil lamp was lit on the dining table. Two children were lying side by side on the earth pit on the inside of the house, their eyes closed, as if they were asleep.

There were only a man and a woman in the room, in a strange confrontation posture.

On one side of the square table, a woman whose beauty could not be concealed despite her haggard face was staring deadly at the man opposite her who had a painful expression on his face.

"You...you actually poisoned me?" The man covered his stomach and glared at the woman fiercely, his face full of disbelief.

"Lan Chunsheng, I have given you many chances, but have you ever cherished them?" The woman's eyes were cold and full of disgust, as if she was looking at a dirty dog.

"You swore to me so many times that you would live a stable life with me. But what did you do? Lan Chunsheng, what evil thing did I do to make you treat me and our children like this? Now, you have caused the deaths of my two children. Do you still deserve to live?" The woman thought of the children who stepped forward to stop the group of scoundrels who rushed into the shop and smashed it, and were kicked and beaten mercilessly, with their little bodies falling to the ground.

She was filled with hatred and tears fell silently.

At that time, the person who caused the trouble was still drinking comfortably in the pub.

Lan Chunsheng pleaded painfully, "I'm sorry... I'm sorry, Hongping, I was wrong... Please forgive me. Please... Save me. I will live a good life with you in the future... Even if the child is gone, we can still have another one. Please give me one last chance, okay?"

Jiang Hongping sneered, "Giving you another chance to hurt me? Stop daydreaming. I really regret that I should have killed you when you ruined my innocence. I wouldn't have let you torture us for so many years in vain."

"You...you...evil woman, I will not let you go even if I become a ghost." Lan Chunsheng rolled on the ground in pain and roared with a rage.

"Am I as vicious as you? From destroying my innocence in the beginning to owing me a huge debt now. You had no money to pay off your gambling debts, so you let them rob my shop that supported my family. You didn't see it, right? When they were taking over the shop, they kicked your two children to death one by one." The woman's emotions were still wooden, without much ups and downs. When she talked about the death of her two children, it was as if she was talking about a stranger passing by.

Maybe she had already gotten used to it, or maybe the death of her child had left her heartbroken.

"Hongping, please, a husband and wife are bound by a hundred days of grace. You can't do this, you... save... me,... save me." The man rushed over and grabbed the corner of her clothes, begging.

The woman kicked him away and said, "Get lost." She then walked towards the earthen bed and gently stroked the cheeks of the two children with her calloused hands. Finally, a smile appeared on her face, and her eyes were full of kindness.

The man saw that the woman ignored him and knew that he had no chance of survival. His expression suddenly changed and he lay on the ground and laughed.

"Jiang Hongping, you won't let me live. That's fine, but I won't let you have an easy life even if I die. You are the only one left in your family of five. Do you know why?" He took a breath and laughed, "Because you are a disaster star. You thought of someone you shouldn't have thought of, offended someone, and were retaliated against. They all died because of you. You fool, you treated her as your own sister, but you didn't expect that she would push you into the abyss."

Jiang Hongping was stunned when she heard this, and her heart sank. Didn’t they all die in accidents?

She rushed to Lan Chunsheng, stepped on his face, and asked angrily, "What do you mean?"

"Do you still remember Tang Zhongbai? You two were very close for a period of time. Don't you know that you have offended others? Your cousin took your brother to the ferry and drowned him first. She made your mother crazy, and then killed your father and sister one by one. Finally it was your turn. She just wouldn't let you die a good death. She made you suffer humiliation and torture while you were alive, and be scolded by others. Only then did she feel happy and relieved." Lan Chunsheng summoned up his last bit of strength to tell the truth of that year, and he became sad as he spoke.

"Who made me fall in love with you at first sight when I met you, and you ignored me. So they found me and told me their plan, and I agreed. Jiang Hongping, as long as I can get you, it doesn't matter if I have to be far away from home. Do you know that I want to live a good life with you? But I face your cold face every day, and I know you are still thinking about that boy. So I drink, and then gamble after drinking. Only alcohol and gambling can make me forget my pain."

Jiang Hongping had already collapsed to the ground. It had been more than ten years, and only today did she know that her parents, siblings and brothers and sisters had died so unjustly.

"Impossible. How could she be such a simple and lovely little girl and have such deep thoughts and be so cruel?"

Lan Chunsheng smiled sadly, "You are really stupid. How could she deceive you if she didn't act harmless? The cruel look in her eyes when she came to me and planned to destroy your innocence was not the innocent and cute little girl you said she was."

Jiang Hongping's eyes were filled with despair. "Impossible, you lied to me, right?"

Lan Chunsheng stared at her sarcastically, this stupid woman, "Back then, Tang Zhongbai was the county's prison officer. He stood up for you. You idiot."

Just because she was close to that man, her whole family was killed? Impossible, those two people had no interaction in my memory.

However, she and her mother did steal all the money of the Jiang family and ran away with her newborn cousin. If that was true, what kind of vicious woman was she?

Lan Chunsheng's breath became weaker and weaker, and white foam began to appear at the corners of his mouth.

"You are not worthy of mentioning him. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have ended up like this. If you really loved me, you wouldn't have gone along with those people to destroy my innocence. If I hadn't supported you all these years, you would have died long ago. You should never, ever, involve the children in this. They are my last line of defense for you. Without them, my thoughts are gone, and naturally you can't live either."

Lan Chunsheng looked sad, and he tried his best to utter the last words, "If... there is an afterlife, I... I will definitely meet... before him...", and finally he died.

And her last bit of energy was completely exhausted.

In the years since her parents' death, she had never thought about why she should live. Yes, when her parents, siblings and brothers died one by one, and she was ruined by Lan Chunsheng and was looked down upon and scolded by everyone, why didn't she think about following them?

A face as gentle as jade appeared in her mind, and his deep eyes said to her affectionately, "You must wait for me during the three years I was away. The next time we meet, I will definitely marry you with three matchmakers and six betrothals."

She believed him and waited for him. Now it was ridiculous to think about it. How could a poor person like her be treated sincerely by a young master from a noble family?

From that farewell, the two were separated forever.

She believed that with his ability, he would be able to find her no matter where she was.

In the first three years of her forced marriage with Lan Chunsheng, she kept her promise to him. Three years later, he still did not show up.

Thinking about the reasons behind this, I feel so stupid.

Jiang Hongping sat quietly on the kang, listening to the raging wind outside the window, until the oil lamp burned out and the room fell into darkness.

She came to her senses and smiled bitterly, thinking that she deserved to lose everything for being so stupid.

She was so disheartened that she had no courage to live, and she had no intention to return to her hometown, let alone seek justice for her family. Lan Chunsheng was right, how could she, a fool, deal with her so-called sister who was so scheming and had disappeared long ago?

She took out a tinderbox and blew out a fire, then stood up and walked to the oil can, picked up the can and poured it on the cabinet in the corner, threw the tinderbox over, and suddenly, there was a sea of ​​fire. She walked to the kang, lay down next to the children, closed her eyes, and hugged the two children tightly.

Father, mother, brothers and sisters, I am sorry for you. If there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you well.

Tang Zhongbai, I regret meeting you. If there is an afterlife, I hope we will never meet again.

Let all the suffering and unwillingness disappear into the dust with the fire.

The fire grew bigger and bigger, and the thick smoke choked her and made her lose consciousness.

She was finally freed, and all she could feel was the excruciating pain of being burned by the fire...

Jiang Hongping suddenly opened her eyes.

Why did I dream that I was in a fire again?
