My sister-in-law and I got married at the same time, and my mother-in-law gave each of us 88,000 yuan in bride price.
After receiving hers, my sister-in-law said, "Mom, I'm the only daughter in my family in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai. The bride price where I'm from is a lot more than this. From now on, we'll have a two-way marriage, so neither side will owe the other anything!"
After that, my sister-in-law and her husband simply stopped caring for my mother-in-law. They didn't even come back when she had minor health problems.
I was the one who usually looked after her. Although she was no saint, I still cared for her in her old age for my husband's sake.
But my mother-in-law never stopped thinking about my sister-in-law and her husband. To get them to come back, she deliberately told a huge lie.
She let my sister-in-law know that she planned to leave her million-yuan savings to my son.
Wanting the million-yuan inheritance, my sister-in-law knew my son was allergic to apples, yet still juiced one, mixed it into Sprite, and gave it to him. My son died from the allergic reaction.
In that moment, I was so grief-stricken that I died too.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day my sister-in-law and I got married.
This time she said, "Mom, you can live with me from now on. I'll treat you just like my own mother."
I knew she had been reborn too. In that case, I would let her have her way and take care of that wicked mother-in-law.
