My sister-in-law was due on Qingming Festival, and my mother said she was carrying a ghost fetus.
Every day, she abused my sister-in-law and forced her to try to miscarry. She made her scrub the floor on her knees, walk 20,000 steps a day, take cold showers, and more...
I couldn't stand it. I paid for my mother to go on a trip and promised to cover all the costs of my sister-in-law's delivery and raising my nephew. Only then did my mother agree to let her have the baby.
Later, my sister-in-law gave birth to the child she'd wanted. But because she spoiled him rotten, my nephew was putting rat poison in her bowl by the time he was three. She was rushed to have her stomach pumped in the middle of the night, and miscarried.
My sister-in-law blamed me, convinced I was the one who'd made her give birth to that ghost fetus. She deliberately told my nephew to tamper with my brakes.
My car smashed through a guardrail and plunged into the sea. I drowned in the icy water.
When I opened my eyes again, I was reborn at the moment my mother was dragging my sister-in-law off to get an abortion. I smiled slightly. “Your child, your choice, sis.”
