My Mother-in-Law Has Been Paralyzed for Seven Years, and No One Will Take Care of Her

Seven years after my husband, Chen Jianguo, died, I finally learned the last secret he had left me.

For seven years, I cared for his paralyzed mother, aging from thirty until my hair turned white.

His older brother's family lived in a big house in the city and never even called during the holidays.

His younger sister married a rich man and posted pictures of bags and watches on her social media every day, but never paid a cent toward their mother's medication.

Then news came that the demolition compensation would be 1.8 million yuan.

My brother-in-law, sister-in-law, and sister-in-law who had vanished for seven years all came back overnight.

They pressured me to sign away my inheritance.

They found someone to accuse me of abusing my mother-in-law.

They even tricked the old woman, who had lost her mind, into pressing her thumbprint on a document to kick me out.

As they pushed me out the door, I clutched an envelope Jianguo had left behind.

He told me to open it when things were at their worst.

For seven years, I never opened it.

Today, I tore it open.

What was inside made me tremble all over.
