Synopsis

[Taking on a Vicious Mother-in-Law + Uncovering My Family Origins]

On New Year's Eve, twenty members of my husband's family broke into my new home.

My mother-in-law slapped the sofa and shouted, "This is my son's house!" My brother-in-law threw my luggage downstairs, and they even put a seal on the refrigerator I had brought as part of my dowry.

I smiled.

I called the police, got a handwriting analysis, and countersued in court. Three moves were all it took to bring the whole family to heel.

They had illegally altered the property deed and forged a marital agreement. The evidence was irrefutable, and the judge ruled on the spot that the house belonged to me.

My vicious mother-in-law was reprimanded for making a scene, my brother-in-law was arrested for fraud, and my mama's-boy ex-husband was kicked out with nothing and sent crawling back to his hometown.

I thought I could finally have some peace after driving away those pests. But while sorting through old belongings, I unearthed a black ledger my grandfather had hidden for forty years.

The 1983 Xishan mine disaster claimed 123 lives. It wasn't an accident. Someone had caused it.

The ventilation fans had been broken for seven days without repair, and the workers were forced underground even as gas levels soared.

After the explosion, the return-air tunnel was sealed shut. They didn't spare even the seventeen apprentice miners.

In the end, my grandfather was framed for embezzling money and fleeing. He died under a cloud of disgrace in the south, and even his body was never found.

A retired senior official was the mastermind. The deputy chief of the local police station was his illegitimate son, separated from him forty years ago.

As the provincial department's special investigation team leader dug into the case, he discovered that the man who had signed off on closing it back then was his own father.

From a farcical fight over a house to a decades-old bloodbath, I gripped the black ledger and dug deeper, one step at a time.

In that mine, after forty years, more than 123 bodies are buried.

I'll see that they get justice.
