With Half a Year to Live, I Wreck the Family Business and My Family Weeps at My Grave

“I only have six months left to live?”

Lin Zhaoyi lay sprawled on the bed, her eyes dry and her tears long since spent.

“Mother, just hand over control of the household accounts to your daughter-in-law. I’ll be taking your place sooner or later anyway.”

“Mother, I want to marry the top courtesan from the Wanhua Brothel.”

“Zhirou has been driven out by her husband’s family. She can only live at the Xiao residence from now on.”

Their voices circled around her like ghosts come to claim her life.

Lin Zhaoyi was barely past thirty, still in the prime of life, yet she had only six months left.

Her children knew only how to take from her, while her husband devoted himself to rescuing his beloved from danger.

The vast fortune she had built would all become someone else’s dowry.

Ha! Why should they get away with that?

Everything belonged to her. No one had the right to enjoy the fruits of her labor!

Not long afterward, her husband’s beloved and Old Madam Xiao fought tooth and nail for the key to the treasury, only to find it empty.

“Where is all the gold and silver in the Xiao residence?”

“The Xiao family businesses have all gone under. The money was used to pay off the debts.”

The whole Xiao household was forced to scrimp and save, while her eldest daughter-in-law, Su Wan, argued with her eldest son every day.

Her second son married a courtesan, who gave birth to a chubby seven-pound baby boy just eight months later.

Her scumbag husband finally saw through his beloved’s schemes. Looking at the chaos in the Xiao household, he began to miss the old days.

“Where’s my wife? The Xiao household can’t do without her!”

“Where’s Mother? We haven’t seen her in ages.”

“She’s dead!”

“How could that be?”

Before a gravestone with no name, Xiao Jiming wept until his heart nearly broke.

Suddenly, three men rushed over, pinned him down, and beat him senseless.

“Scum! You’re the one who drove Zhaozhao to her death!”
