I am an unmarried person, and my nephew should naturally believe that my property belongs to him. He asked me to give his girlfriend a 60000 yuan bag.

After being rejected, he harbored resentment and strangled me alive while I was sleeping.

In order to excuse him, my mother deleted the surveillance footage of his crimes and falsely claimed that I was committing suicide.

They inherited my inheritance, and the whole family was happy and boastful, "She's just cheap. If only she had given up her property earlier!"

Opening my eyes, I returned to the day my nephew asked me to buy a bag.

"Auntie, I only celebrate my birthday once a year, so you can buy it for me."

My nephew Zhou Chengyi grabbed my arm, seeming to be discussing, but his tone was reasonable. "It's not expensive, only 60000 yuan. When I give it to Qiqi, I will definitely not forget to praise you in front of her."

My mother and brother buried their heads in eating and didn't say anything to stop it. My sister-in-law said calmly, "Qingqing, if you don't get married, we won't have to rely on Cheng Yi to support you in your retirement."

I lowered my head and looked at my hand.

In my previous life, I thought the bag was too expensive and refused it on the spot. My sister-in-law also said, "If I don't buy it, Zhou Chengyi won't give me retirement in the future.".

I have a good income and no plans to get married, so I try my best to meet their needs.

But I didn't expect my sister-in-law to make this threat. After I sternly refused again, Zhou Chengyi held a grudge against me and strangled me alive with a silk scarf while I was sleeping.

I bought that scarf for my sister-in-law.

My mother deleted the surveillance footage at home to excuse him and falsely claimed that I was committing suicide.

They got my inheritance as they wished. Zhou Chengyi and his gang were three feet tall and spoke loudly, "If you ask me, that woman Zhou Qingqing is despicable. If only she had given up her property long ago, maybe I could have spared her life."

He laughed recklessly and threw a photo of me on the ground, stomping on it fiercely. "You deserve it, you deserve it!"

My mother quickly stopped him at that time, fearing that he might hurt his foot.

It's extremely ridiculous.

"Auntie, speak up quickly!"

Zhou Chengyi impatiently said, "Can you stop being so stingy? I will pay you back when I make money in the future!"

Upon hearing his urging, I restrained myself and said calmly, "It's too expensive, I can't buy it for you."

"Why?"

Zhou Chengyi exploded and slammed the table hard, questioning, "Isn't it just a bag? You earn so much money every month, can't you even afford a bag?"

This was extremely ridiculous, and I sneered, "If you don't buy, then you don't buy."

After speaking, I got up and went straight back to my room.

Before closing the door, I heard his unwilling voice: "Grandma, look at her! I finally celebrated my birthday, she's still so stingy!"

My sister-in-law was also whispering something, glancing at me as she spoke.

I ignored it, and my heart was filled with disappointment towards this group of people.

This is my family, the family I long for.

Since God has given me a chance to revive myself, I must seize it well and never let their schemes succeed again!

Not long after, my mother pushed the door open and came in, holding a plate of watermelons, warmly letting me eat.

I didn't move and met her urgent gaze, calmly saying, "Did Zhou Chengyi let you come?"

She looked a bit embarrassed and wanted to explain, but I said again, "I've told you I won't buy it. They're only twenty years old and carrying a 60000 yuan bag. Mine isn't that expensive either."

"You go back and tell him, I can't buy it for him."

"Why don't you buy it for me?"

Zhou Chengyi jumped out and pointed at my nose, "Zhou Qingqing, do you still expect me to care for you like this? I can't even bear to part with 60000 yuan. I think waiting for you to grow old is like waiting for death. I see who cares about you!"

"Who said I'm using you for retirement?"

I looked at him expressionlessly and said, "I said I won't get married, but I didn't say I don't want children. My money needs to support my own children, and I don't want to waste it on you."

My mother was stunned for a moment and said, "Who did you have a child with?"

"Adopt, don't have to bear it yourself."

I replied, "With so many children in the welfare home, are you still afraid that I won't have to choose?"

"How can this work!"

My mother was anxious, "Those are all children of unknown origin!"

"If I raise it, it's mine."

I looked at Zhou Chengyi and said, "It's better than relying on such a heartless white eyed wolf."

"I don't even have blood ties, what's my own!"

My mother angrily said, "Anyway, I don't agree. Our own money should be spent on our own family. How much money do you have, and how much do you have to spend on others?"

"If you don't agree, I'll move out."

My mother was so angry that she trembled all over and angrily slammed the door and left.

They certainly won't agree to me moving out. Only when I am here, I will be fully responsible for all the expenses at home, and I will also have to agree to their various unreasonable demands.

She was in a hurry to go out, probably to discuss countermeasures with my brother and sister-in-law.

I didn't wait for them to question me and get up to leave, but Zhou Chengyi stopped me and angrily said, "Who allowed you to leave?"

"What? Just because I didn't buy you a bag? Now I don't even have personal freedom?"

I stared at him and sneered, "Or are you planning to use force against me?"

Zhou Chengyi's angry face turned red, and he reached out to grab me. "If I say you can't leave, then you can't leave!"

I took a quick step back and shouted sternly, "Do you dare to touch me and give it a try!"

The sound was too loud, causing my mother and sister-in-law to come out. Seeing this scene, my mother frowned and complained, "Qingqing, Cheng Yi is your own nephew. He just wants a bag. Why are you so angry?"

"Mom, do you also know that I'm just his aunt?"

I said coldly, "From now on, I won't spend a penny on him anymore. If he has the ability, he can buy it himself!"

"Zhou Qingqing! You just have a few stinky money, what's so remarkable about it!"

Zhou Chengyi glared angrily and said, "This is my home. If you have the ability, don't come back!"

I looked expressionless at my mother and sister-in-law, "You heard me too, he doesn't care about my stinky money!"

"Cheng Yi, this is your aunt!"

My sister-in-law scolded and then said, "Qingqing, you are really. Cheng Yi is just a child. What's the difference between you and him? We are all family, and it seems like you have a lot to say."

"That's right."

My mother agreed, "I have discussed with your sister-in-law and we do not agree to your adoption of a child. How can a child of unknown origin come into our house? If you don't get married, our Zhou family's bloodline relies on Cheng Yi. Can't you, as an aunt, be more tolerant?"

"Why do you disagree with my matter?"

I couldn't help but say, "What has an unknown origin and bloodline? Mom, do you think our family has a throne?"

Speaking of which, it is unclear. In my previous life, after my death, my soul drifted. I have seen my sister-in-law and a man named Liu Wei behave intimately, calling Zhou Chengyi our son.

My brother is completely unaware of this and happily regards Zhou Chengyi as his own son.

In my previous life, I longed for family affection and poured out my heart and lungs towards them, but in the end, it came to such an end. Now, looking at their disgusting faces, the remaining family affection in my heart has dissipated completely, leaving only nausea.

I have always been easy to talk to, and this is the first time my attitude has been so tough. My mother's face turned pale with anger, and tears streamed down her face. "Zhou Qingqing, did you take the wrong medicine? You object to everything I say. You tell me, as long as you dare to adopt a child, I will consider you as my daughter in the future!"

If it were in the past, I would really eat this trick. As soon as she said this, I would immediately compromise.

But now it's different. I stared at her smug expression and smiled, "That's perfect. I can also move out and live there."

Her expression froze as she instinctively glanced at my sister-in-law.

I said calmly, "Mom, it's okay to cut off the relationship, but I have to agree first. I won't be responsible for all your expenses in the future, and you can't expect to take any more money from me!"

My mother hadn't spoken yet, but my sister-in-law frowned and said, "Qingqing, how could you talk to my mother like that? You're so old and still live at home. Every day, you come to eat and dress. Do you think you're right about your mother?"

My mother understood and cried even harder. "Your father left early, and I finally pulled you up. In the end, I got you saying, 'Zhou Qingqing, has your conscience been eaten by the dog?'"

I sneered, "Sister in law, that's not right. I have a house, and the reason why I live at home is because my mom said my brother's salary is not high, and you are unwilling to work. The difficulties at home require me to help more. What kind of clothing is needed to make a living? That's never my treatment."

My mother's face changed and she didn't even bother pretending to cry. She reached out and slapped me, saying sternly, "Stop talking nonsense. When did I say that?"

Seeing me being beaten, Zhou Chengyi cursed fiercely and said, "I deserve it!"

My cheeks were hot and spicy, but I remained unmoved. "Have you ever said that? You know it in your own heart!"

"I know what!"

My mother cursed sharply, "Zhou Qingqing, you have really turned the tide. I have been giving birth to you and raising you for so many years, and that's how you repay me?"

"Mom, you don't have to use these words to pressure me. Breaking ties is what you said, not me."

I said coldly, "No matter what you say, I must adopt this child!"

After speaking, I ignored them and turned around to leave. Behind me came my mother's crying and scolding, saying that I was a heartless white eyed wolf and should have been killed by a car when I went out.

My mother is a very kind person in front of outsiders, with a good temper and easy to talk to. However, when facing me, she will curse me to death with malicious words.

I used to think I wouldn't make her happy, but now it seems that she really wants me to die.

Only when I die will all my wealth fall into her hands.

I didn't even pick up my luggage and went back to my own home. It was a long time since I came back, and there was a layer of dust left in the house. I cleaned it up overnight and was so tired that I collapsed on the sofa.

Looking at the familiar ceiling, I truly felt a sense of coming back to life.

When I first bought a house, my mother strongly opposed it, thinking that as a girl, I didn't need to buy a house at all. With this spare money, it would be better to support my brother and let our family buy a bigger house.

I have always listened to her, except for that one time when I secretly bought the house behind everyone's back. When my mother found out, she came knocking on me in front of so many people and kicked me down, angrily scolding me for being shameless and using family money to make a living.

Someone around me stepped forward to stop her, but she scolded her and said something that I still remember deeply. "What kind of thing are you? Don't think you can ride on me with a few stinky money. I've been giving birth to you and raising you for so many years, so you should give all your money to me, give it to your brother! You dare to make your own decision, I'm the loser you are!"

What she said is reasonable, as if the money I earned through my own efforts should be knelt on the ground and presented with both hands to serve them.

They are upright walking people, while I am a crawling ant on the ground.

At that time, I was just sad and holding back a bit of anger. My mother asked me to sell, but I refused.

There was a stalemate for a long time, but in the end she compromised and ordered me to go home and live. This house will be listed under my name for now, and when Zhou Chengyi grows up, I must immediately transfer ownership to him.

For what?

God has given me a chance to start over again, and I don't want any so-called family ties that I couldn't let go of before.

Even if someone scolds me and pokes my spine saying I'm unfilial, I don't care.

I just need to live well.

My mother made a lot of phone calls and insulting text messages to me, but I ignored them and consulted relevant personnel. The next day, I went to the welfare home to apply for adoption.

Among the many children, I saw a skinny little girl huddled on the steps in the corner, looking timidly at the children playing around her.

Just like when I was a child, wearing my brother's leftover tattered clothes, sitting in a corner, lonely and helpless.

The dean told me that the whole family of this child died in a fire, with a family of six. Only she survived under the protection of her parents. Her relatives felt burdensome and had to send her to a welfare home.

The girl's name is Nian Nian, she is only three years old. Her clear big eyes are full of confusion. I crouched in front of her, reached out to her, and whispered, "Nian Nian, would you like to go home with Auntie?"

She looked at my hand hesitantly, seeming very scared. Encouraged by the dean, she slowly placed her hand on mine and softly called out, "Auntie."

At that moment, tears welled up in my eyes, as if through time I saw someone squatting in front of me, reaching out to me.

Unfortunately, such a person did not appear at the time, but now I can become that kind of person.

Having died once made me realize that I am not unable to let go of my family, I am just lonely and afraid, and I don't want to be alone.

The adoption procedures are very complicated and take a month. I promised Nian Nian that I would come back to pick her up in a month, let her eat well and sleep well.

She agreed.

Perhaps it's not that she needs me, but rather that I need her.

Returning to the community, I found many people gathered around my doorstep, and my mother's pitiful howls, like killing pigs, kept coming one after another. "Zhou Qingqing, you dare not come out, don't you! I want to sue you, go to your unit and ask your leader. How dare they take such a heartless dog like this?"

"If you don't come out today, I'll die here. You're the murderer, and I'll make you look down on me for the rest of your life!"

The crying was deafening, and my mother sat on the ground with her hair disheveled, next to a red paint bucket.

"I'm dying, everyone, come and see. I raised her so much and provided her with education, but she was unfilial to me. She wants to anger me to death!"
