The day the flood came, my husband refused to evacuate with the entire clan because he wanted to wait for the widow next door.
But there was only one hour left before the flood arrived. If we didn't leave, the village would be completely submerged.
In my previous life, I was the bus driver in charge of getting everyone to safety, and I desperately urged them to leave at once.
All I got in return was: "If you're so afraid of dying, go on ahead. We're waiting for Sister-in-Law Dahua."
I repeatedly promised that I wouldn't abandon Wang Dahua and would send people back for her. Only then did they reluctantly evacuate.
But by the time the rescue workers found Wang Dahua, she was already dead.
My husband blamed me for Wang Dahua's death.
After the floodwaters receded, my husband pushed me into the river and drowned me.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back on the day the flood came.
This time, I decided to let them die.
