In my previous life, when I found out that Ann had a heatstroke, I immediately rushed to the hospital.

But Ann was not saved. I was heartbroken and cursed the heavens for taking my daughter away. But I accidentally saw someone's sarcastic post.

[How can someone let a child sunbathe naked on such a scorching hot day?]

I went to the property arrangement to check the surveillance video and found out that Ann did not suffer from heatstroke when her grandmother took her out to buy vegetables, but was forced to sunbathe her back.

Ann was only four years old, with delicate skin and afraid of heat.

Normal sunbathing would choose a mild time of day, and for beginners, just ten minutes would be enough.

But my mother-in-law not only chose the hottest noon, but also made Ann take off her shirt and sunbathe for an hour. Ann resisted countless times, but was pulled back by her grandmother.

Even worse, when Ann fainted from sunstroke, Pearl gave her 40-degree hot water to drink.

I lost control of my emotions, cried and called the police, saying that my mother-in-law must pay for Ann's life.

But to my surprise, when my husband heard the cause of Ann's death, he showed no intention of blaming his mother. Instead, he pushed me to the ground.

"My mom was taking care of Ann with traditional Chinese medicine. You are ungrateful and even slandered her!"

No one cared when I hit the back of my head on the corner of the table and died from excessive bleeding.

Seeing this, my mother-in-law and husband immediately faked that I couldn't bear the death of my child and jumped into the river to commit suicide.

As a result, they escaped legal sanctions.

With a heart full of unwillingness, I watched them take out all the money from my bank account, and they didn't even spare the car and house under my name before marriage.

What made my soul even more shattered was that my husband had a pregnant mistress outside.

On the same day, my mother-in-law came back to apologize to me. She was instigated by the mistress and said that the mistress was pregnant with a baby boy. If my daughter was still alive, she would have had an abortion.

Seeing them move to another city, getting married to the mistress and giving birth to a son, I felt even more devastated.

My mother was killed by the scumbag while seeking justice for me on a deserted country road.

Fortunately, I was reborn, and there was still a chance to change everything.

I hold Ann tighter, letting the sense of being reborn envelop me even more.

"Mommy, I'm sorry. I won't use the air conditioner anymore." Ann was feeling down and kept apologizing to me.

"Ann, you're not wrong. From now on, we'll use the air conditioner every day. I won't let you be affected by your grandma's mood."

I took Ann to my mother's place.

After she retired, she moved back to the countryside.

In my previous life, after my mother retired and lived alone, she often missed us, but I rarely came back, because the education resources in the city were good .

This time, I completely understood that so-called education resources were not as important as life itself.

After sending Ann to live with my mother temporarily, I immediately rushed back to the city.

As soon as I entered the house, my husband Chuck started scolding me.

"Coco, my mom kindly came over to take care of Ann. Knowing that she is studying traditional Chinese medicine for health preservation, you still encouraged Ann to use the air conditioner. Are you trying to kill my mom? Then you'll be happy, right?"

If it were in my previous life, I would definitely feel wronged because of Chuck's unfounded and scathing insults.

But at this point, I immediately smiled and apologized to the two of them, "Mom, it's my fault. I have educated Ann and sent her to the countryside."

"What?" My mother-in-law exclaimed.

"Why didn't you discuss with us before sending Ann to the countryside?" My husband became anxious.

I thought that only my mother-in-law and the mistress were involved in Ann's heatstroke in my previous life, but at this time, looking at my husband's reaction, he clearly knew about it.

No wonder he didn't show any surprise or sadness when he learned about Ann's death from heatstroke.

I gnashed my teeth and desperately wanted to strangle these two monsters in front of me, but I held back.

Ann was still small, I couldn't let her lose her mother.

Even if I wanted to kill these two people, I couldn't dirty my hands.

I suppressed the anger in my heart and pretended to be aggrieved. "Honey, I know how hard you work to earn money. My mother is retired, and she lives alone. Taking care of Ann is good for both of them, so we don't have to give her living expenses anymore.

Pearl finally came to our house to stay for a while, so let's save some money and be filial to my mother-in-law."

The two people who originally wanted to confront me were at a loss for words for a moment.

For dinner, I specifically asked my mother-in-law to rest while I went to the kitchen to cook.

Seeing this, my mother-in-law was so complacent.

She even recorded a video of me cooking and posted it in one of her group chats.

"You all should learn from me. A daughter-in-law must be disciplined. I caused a scene in the afternoon, and she immediately sent the naughty brat to the countryside and rushed back to cook for me."

She thought I couldn't hear her while cooking, so she spoke directly into her phone.

I cut the cucumber in front of me fiercely with a knife.

Previously, my mother-in-law avoided me, but today, she treated me like a complete pushover.

Well, I'd like to see what she had got.

The next day, as usual, my mother-in-law went out to sunbathe at ten in the morning. Seeing this, I immediately called the person I had contacted earlier back home.

Less than twenty minutes later, all three air conditioners in the house were removed.

I didn't keep any of them. I sold them for almost ten thousand dollars and immediately booked a summer tour for my mother and Ann.

Before the afternoon, my mother-in-law called me like crazy.

I didn't answer the phone.

Not long after, my husband kept calling me like crazy.

I said I was working and would deal with it after I finished.

My husband went crazy and sent me countless messages on WhatsApp, asking me about the air conditioners.

My mother-in-law found out that the air conditioners were gone and immediately reported it to the property management. The clerks said that I brought people to dismantle them.

Seeing that they were about to be driven crazy, I replied slowly, [Mom is studying traditional Chinese medicine for health. The air conditioners are not good for her and can even harm her life. I sold them directly. I will buy some delicious food to show filial piety to her tonight.]

"Coco, are you doing this on purpose? My mom just cares about us, but you retaliate with such means?" Chuck immediately sent a voice message, followed by more vicious curses.

I left the messages unread to make them suffer in this scorching weather.

After work, the meals I ordered also arrived home.

This time, I ordered all the dishes that our family usually can't afford.

As for the dishes like kind crabs, Australian spiny lobsters, and the ones my mother-in-law mentioned before, I ordered them all.

As for my mother-in-law and husband not answering my calls and going out to eat alone, that was not my business.

When the two of them came back home at eight o'clock in the evening, they were stunned to see the table full of dishes.

I had already eaten half of it. When I saw the two of them coming back, I immediately looked aggrieved and said, "Oh hi, Chuck and Pearl, why did you just come back? I called you but you didn't answer."

"You spendthrift woman, why have you ordered so many dishes?" Seeing the table full of dishes, my husband was so angry that he forgot about the air conditioners. He wanted to rush up and tear me apart.

But at this point, we hadn't turned nasty. If he hit me, he would lose his job.

After all, his company culture valued family atmosphere the most, which was the reason why he didn't choose to divorce me to be with his mistress.

"Didn't we agree to take good care of Pearl? These are all the dishes she wanted to eat before. I specially ordered them today. You came back so late. You must be starving. Hurry up and eat."

I diligently fetched the chopsticks and bowls, and both of their faces looked funny.

They had already eaten with the mistress outside. Even though the food in front of them was good, they couldn't eat much.

And there were so many leftovers. Our refrigerator at home was already full and couldn't fit anymore.

They were expensive dishes, so my mother-in-law naturally would feel it such a waste and disagree to throw it all.

Seeing the two of them forcing themselves to eat the cold seafood, I considerately brought out boxes of orange juice and beer.

"Pear, Chuck, take your time and have some cold drinks to cool down."

Seeing the two of them greedily enjoying themselves, I sneered in my heart.

I packed my luggage, pulled the suitcase, and used the excuse of a business trip arranged by the company to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Chuck immediately stopped me, "You can go on your business trip, but install the air conditioners first."

"Chuck, Pearl has said that using the air conditioner is not good for our health." I pretended to be understanding. At the same time, I threw out a big temptation, "I'm very busy on this business trip. Maybe I won't have time to deal with the household matters. But don't worry. Once I finish the project, we will have a bonus of 50 thousand dollars, and then we can find a chance to have some fun somewhere."

After hearing that, Chuck immediately made way.

"Pearl, I'll leave the house to you," I said to Pearl before leaving.

She was busy solving the seafood and ignored me.

I smiled and didn't care.

After leaving home, I went straight to the hotel outside the mistress' community. I turned on the Do Not Disturb mode on my phone and used the tablet to open the surveillance at home.

This was newly installed to have a close eye on these two.

At this time, the daytime temperature was almost forty degrees. Even if it cooled down at night, it was still impossible to sleep without air conditioners.

Pearl's face was covered in sweat. "Son, when will the air conditioners be installed?"

"When Coco comes back from her business trip," Chuck casually replied, and then called his mistress to go to her place to sleep tonight.

"Son, if you don't ask her install the air conditioner back, what should I do when I sleep at night?" Pearl became anxious and immediately put down her chopsticks to argue with Chuck.

"You said you're not afraid of the heat when sunbathing? Bear with it!" The door slammed shut as the words fell.

Poor Pearl, she could only stay at home alone.

It was late at night. Even if she wanted to install an air conditioner, she couldn't find anyone.

She found a fan in the utility room, but after using it for only a couple of minutes, the fan that hadn't been used for a long time, emitted some black smoke.

I saw tears streaming down Pearl's face. She kept coughing, and called her son, only to be impatiently hung up on.

Chuck was a typical man who pretended to be a good son. If it were me, he would blame me to death. As for himself, he wouldn't care about his mother at all.
