The feeling of suffocation became more and more apparent. Chen Jiao opened her mouth to call for help, but instead drank a mouthful of water. She opened her eyes, but couldn't tell whether what was in front of her was her long hair or the aquatic plants in the river … There's a man swimming towards her... Was he going to be saved?

He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand. Faintly, he heard someone say, "You guys say that my son is adulterous with another male, but I want to ask, where is that wild man? "You caught me red-handed. Without any evidence, you sent my son to hell. How pitiful is it for a white-haired man like me to send a black-haired man …"

"Wuwuwu …" "Elder sister, don't die …"

Who was crying in her ear? Chen Jiao frowned. Could it be that the lesson she taught the Wang family wasn't enough? He actually dared to disturb her while she was sleeping.

No, that's not right. The Wang family had all been sent to prison by her, where would they cry in her home?

"Chen Wang, you're not in our village. How would you know what your daughter's life is like? A few days ago, she met with an outsider at the pond and was caught red-handed by her mother-in-law. Her husband has only died less than seven days ago, and his body hasn't even turned cold yet.

An aged voice sounded out, and the string in Chen Jiao's mind was struck by something. What pond, what clan rule?

My fate is miserable, my husband died too early, I had two children by myself. When their Lin Family came to ask to marry my daughter, they did not mention that they would marry a sick child who would die soon. Now that their son is dead, they want to send my daughter to marry him.

The room was suddenly filled with whispers, "So Old Fourth Lin's wife had this idea. I say that this little girl doesn't have the guts to meet an outsider in private."

"You can't put it that way either. This Lady Lin isn't a good person either. She's just a vixen and knows how to hook up with men."

"Don't you want some compensation, old dog? No matter what, when that child of your married wife married into our family for two years, although she wasn't able to give birth to a daughter, she had no merits nor hardships. Since you're part of her family, I'll give you twenty silver coins, so let's forget about this matter."

"Ten taels?" Wang Meihua looked at his daughter, whose body was covered by a white cloth, and felt moved. Although she was sad for her daughter's death, she still had a son! He looked at his son who was hiding behind her back in fear. Iron Egg was only 6 years old. If he had these 10 silver coins, he could go to school and would not be bullied like her in the future.

Wang Meihua threw himself onto Chen Jiao's body and cried out in grief. Iron Egg couldn't help himself from pouncing and crying when he saw his sister not moving even under the white cloth and his mother crying so loudly. "Sis, Sis, hurry up and get up!"

The childish voice that was mixed with the other chattering sounds in the room gave her a headache. Chen Jiao's mind had long since cleared up, but her body was extremely heavy and she was unable to lift her hand up.

From the looks of it, her soul had fallen upon this girl called Chen Jiao Niang after the incident. Her husband had died less than a week ago, and her mother-in-law had secretly sent him to the underworld to accompany her husband.

Chen Jiao snorted inwardly. She'd always heard of the ignorant in ancient times, but she'd never imagined that this sort of outrageous product could exist!

He felt endless rage and his body seemed to have a sliver of strength. The delicate woman's exposed fingers moved slightly and her eyes were caught by someone!

"Deceitful …" "It's a dead body!" A thin and short man hurriedly called his wife to look over when he saw his daughter's fingers moving. The two of them were so frightened that they'd piss their pants and stumble their way out of the clan hall.

"What are you arguing about!"

The lady struggled to lift the white cloth from her face and stood up from the ground, slowly looking around her.

The entire room was scared stiff by her cold gaze. After a while, she ran out of the family hall while crying like a ghost, "Fake a corpse! Fake a corpse!"

Wang Plum Blossom was so scared that her entire body was trembling, but even if she was faking her corpse, she was still her daughter! She hugged the egg and shivered, "Jiao …" "Little lady …"

Chen Jiao paid no attention to her. Her eyes were fixated on a middle-aged woman dressed in rich attire. It was her mother-in-law, Lin Lanzhi.

Lin Lanzhi had already been frightened to the point of collapsing onto the ground. Earlier, when Chen Jiao Niang moved, her husband had already run off with the group. How could he still care about her?

Patriarch Lin Hongtao was so frightened that he sat on the main chair without daring to move. He just happened to be sitting in front of Chen Jiao's corpse. When he wanted to run away, he found out that he was going to overtake the lady, so he didn't dare to move even if he was beaten to death.

As he watched Lin Lanzhi being stared fixedly at by Chen Jiao, a foul stench suffused the air as her entire body was drenched. It turned out that she had been shocked to the point of peeing!

Chen Jiao looked disdainfully at Lin Lanzhi as she slowly got up from the ground. She was already weak and powerless, so after being bathed in water, her face turned ghastly pale. She looked like a female ghost who was about to take her life.

Lin Lanzhi stomped her feet and screamed loudly, "Ah! You bitch! Get away from me! Patriarch! "Save me!"

"Granny, my husband said that he misses you very much. He told me to bring you along as well …" It just so happened that a gust of wind blew through the room, causing the hair on the back of everyone present to stand on end.

Lin Lanzhi seemed to have heard something extraordinary as she screamed and lay on the ground. Her hair was in disarray from her grabbing, and her clothes were covered with urine, making her look extremely miserable.

Seeing that Lin Lanzhi was about to go mad from fright, the Patriarch stood up and forced himself to walk towards Chen Jiao. "Jiao Niang, are you still alive?"

He'd heard from the older generation that some people would enter a faked death state if they didn't drink too much water after falling into the water due to excessive shock, and would even revive after being rescued. Could it be that Chen Jiao Niang was like this?

Chen Jiao grunted coldly as she kicked at Lin Lanzhi who was still hugging her head and trembling. In her entire life, she didn't feel guilty and wasn't afraid of knocking on the door in the middle of the night.

Little girl, you're not dead?" When Wang Plum Flower heard his Patriarch say this, he hurriedly got up and hugged Chen Jiao. He touched her warm body and the tears instantly dripped down. "Wuu, you're still alive. Mother thought you were dead?" "Is there something wrong with you?

When she was in a coma just now, Wang Plum Blossom had indeed been moved by Lin Lanzhi's offer of a silver tael. If she didn't wear it on Chen Jiao's mother, this innocent girl would have died from injustice.

Chen Jiao was unhappy in her heart, but what could she do? She had lived a rough life, and people without money had no dignity. Furthermore, she was mistaken for dead, so it was a good thing for her to exchange her for a comfortable life with them.

Thinking up to here, Chen Jiao saw Iron Egg who stood at the side. A six year old boy couldn't eat well due to his poor family background, and he was skinny and hungry. He was currently looking at her with wide eyes and slight fear.

Chen Jiao had no children in her entire life and had no natural resistance to children. When she saw how scared Iron Egg looked, she felt extremely helpless in her heart.

She squatted down and touched his face, "Is he scared?"
