Chapter 001: Return in Dreams
"Wow!"
Liu Man Ning vomited a mouthful of fresh blood. "Liu Wan Wan, did you give me Cephalosporin?"
"Yeah, it's always said that Cephalosporin makes one 'walk the talk', didn't expect it to be true! Man Ning, congratulations, you'll be reunited with your family soon."
"My parents' death...," Liu Man Ning's face changed dramatically.
Liu Wan Wan, with her thin fair fingers swaying, laughed. "Not just your parents, but also your three brothers, your sister-in-law, your nephew, your daughter..."
"It's you!"
Liu Man Ning's pupils trembled fiercely, her chest ached so hard that she almost passed out.
Liu Wan Wan nodded with a grin, "Not only me, but also your husband, Zhan Hongyu. When your daughter fell from the building, she was still calling for her dad to save her. Tsk tsk, truly pitiful."
"Did you murder Le Le?!"
Liu Man Ning was utterly dismayed, gritting her blood-filled mouth, she wished she could eat Liu Wan Wan alive!
The next second, she let out a non-human like screech, fell from the bed, and pounced at Liu Wan Wan.
"I'll kill you, kill you! Ahhh..."
Liu Wan Wan dodged, looked down at her from a higher position, her eyes filled with pride and madness. "Kill me? I'm the chosen girl, you're the one who should die!"
She raised her wrist, flaunting it in front of Liu Man Ning. "Do you see this jade bracelet? Do you really think I wanted it because it looked good, and I wanted to take it back and appreciate it?"
"Of course not, because this bracelet harbors a huge secret. It not only carries its own space but also brings good fortune. With it, I have an endless stream of luck, and the complete ruin of your family is all thanks to it, haha..."
Manling's whole body shook, her red eyes filled with anger and madness, glaring at Wanwan.
She was blind not to see Wanwan's vile heart in time.
But that does not mean she's not going to settle this matter, now that she knows the truth!
Wanwan was behind the death of her parents, her daughter, and the miserable ends of her three brothers and sisters-in-law!
Today, even if she's going to die, she's taking Wanwan with her!
To hell together!
With a determined look, mustering her last ounce of strength, she kept her gaze locked on the balcony and Wanwan.
Then, she lunged forward, took hold of Wanwan, and jumped off the balcony.
Wanwan, go to hell!
...
"Ah!"
Manling abruptly opened her eyes, gasping for air.
"Little Fourth, you're awake?"
The familiar voice ringing by her ear, Manling was somewhat dazed.
After realizing that she was being carried by a man, she instinctively reached out to grab the man's head, trying to turn his face around to get a clear look;
The man yelled in pain, "Let go, let go, you stinky girl, trying to break your brother's neck with your bare hands…”
“Third, Third brother…”
“Who else could it be? You didn't even say a word when you couldn't hold on anymore, fainting from exhaustion, your head still dizzy…”
Dizzy?
Liu Man Ning looked up in confusion and found her surroundings, vaguely remembering.
The first time she ever experienced heatstroke was when she was seventeen years old, during the scorching harvest time.
Because she was naive, she was fooled by Liu Wan Wan and was starved from morning until three in the afternoon.
Naturally, she couldn't hold on.
Only after her third brother carried her to the infirmary did she realize she had heatstroke.
But didn't she send Liu Wan Wan to her death?
Why would she appear here?
Could it be that before she died, her grudge was so relentless that she came back in a dream?
Liu Man Ning propped up her head, "Third brother, where’s Liu Wan Wan?”
“Wan Wan? She's resting at home because she's not feeling well.” Liu's third brother said casually, "What's the matter?”
"What's wrong?"
"It's that day!"
"Willow Wanwan stole her mother's bracelet left for her dowry!"
"Big Brother, put me down, I need to go home!"
Big Brother Willow refused to let go, "What home? First to the infirmary!"
"No good, if we head to the infirmary first, we'll be too late..."
Seeing her big brother refuse to let go, Willow Mann almost didn't hesitate and instinctively raised her hand to pant and tickle his armpit continuously.
"Ha ha ha... it tickles... you naughty girl, stop...ha ha, if you continue tickling, I will let you go!"
Go ahead, she was ready.
Sadly, her three brothers loved her too deeply, they did not bear to let go of her.
Big Brother Willow only said he wouldn't let go, Willow Mann was anxious.
"Big Brother, hurry up, I have an emergency at home, Willow Wanwan is going to steal my stuff..."
"What? How dare she! Hold tight and don't move, I will take you home!"
"I will take you home..."
She had heard these words countless times before.
This time, she was moved to tears!
Because of her, her parents and three brothers showered Liu Wanwan with affection due to their love for her.
But what did Liu Wanwan do?
She was responsible for the deaths of her parents, and the ruin of her three brothers!
She forced her to be separated from her daughter by life and death!
Heaven showed mercy, allowing her another chance at life;
This time, she would gut Liu Wanwan alive!
Bah!
Unacceptable!
Eating her would dirty her mouth, better to chop her up and feed her to dogs!
...
The Liu family was large, and the old man and woman, Liu were not willing to divide the family. This resulted in their three sons, each with their own families, all squeezed under one large courtyard.
The courtyard was square in shape, in the middle there were three large tile-roofed rooms facing south, which belong to the Liu couple.
The rest were all mud-brick houses.
Liu Mannin's family scored three rooms, dividing them into three houses.
One room for their parents, one for her eldest brother, his wife and their son. Her second brother and his wife stayed in the town while she, with her third brother, shared another room.
After the death of their parents, she had not returned home for a long while. Now that she has, a sense of disorientation is unavoidable.
But her confusion only lasted for a moment before her gaze focused on her room, swiftly jumping down from her third brother's back and scrambling towards it.
"Xiao Si..." her third brother, Liu Sange, quickly chased after her.
Upon hearing the noise, Liu Wanwan, who was trying to sneak a peek at what was happening, froze in surprise as he saw the two of them suddenly return.
"Liu Wanwan!"
Liu Munning yelled and lunged at him.
Her shrill voice soared, carrying her bitter resentment and hatred straight to the bone!
At the sound of her voice, Liu Sange's heart missed a beat.
"Munning…"
Liu Wanwan forced a gentle smile on his face. He was about to say something when Liu Munning threw him to the ground.
"Give me back the bracelet you stole from my mom!"
Terrified, Liu Wanwan instinctively patted the pocket of his boxers, where he had hidden the bracelet.
At the same time, he was cursing in his mind, damn it.
How did they return so quickly?
She finally found an opportunity, tricked the people in the other rooms and stayed home alone.
Just as she got her hands on the bracelet and hid it, not even ten seconds passed before they were back!
"What bracelet? Stealing? Manny, what are you blabbering about..."
Ignoring her explanations, Li Man Ning sat on Wenwen's belly, gripped her neck and slapped her, exclaiming, "Give it back to me!"
"Ugh..."
Li Wenwen, under the weight of Manny, retched and nearly vomited the egg she had for breakfast. She quickly covered her mouth.
She hadn’t had an egg in a long time; it would be such a waste to throw it up.
She couldn't afford to vomit.
Her face turned green as she endured, swallowing the taste of egg in her mouth before she managed to speak.
"I didn't...steal, Manny, you're...crazy...ah!”
Another slap from Li Man Ning rang out, "Hand it over!"
"Ah!"
Li Wenwen's face stung with pain. Watching Man Ning, who looked as though she harboured murderous intentions towards her, she suddenly felt a wave of fear.
Without giving thought to why Man Ning had suddenly become like this, she hastened to shout loudly towards the courtyard.
In fear that if she called out any slower, she might be killed by Man Ning.
"Help! Man Ning is going to strangle me..."
"Zi Teng, I'm your sister, you can't just stand by and watch me perish..."
Her cries drew the attention of many elderly men and women who were home caring for their grandchildren. They flocked into the yard to see the commotion.
"Oh my, is Ning trying to kill Wan?"
"Why isn't Zi Teng doing anything to stop her?"
"Hurry and separate those two..."
"Why separate? This is all very exciting..."
Before long, the villagers working not far from their home heard the commotion. Rumors spread, and many villagers rushed back to watch the drama unfold.
The sight of their village goddess, Liu Wanwan, being pressed to the ground by Liu Man Ning, looking helplessly at them for rescue was too much to bear.
The young villagers were fired up and ready to fight, rolling up their sleeves to help pull Liu Man Ning away.
"Zi Teng, can't you control your sister? If you can't, let us handle her!"
"Liu Zi Teng, are you just going to let Ning bully Wanwan? Have you lost your masculinity?"
"If you're not going to intervene, let us teach her a lesson..."
Without even looking back, Liu Man Ning shouted, "Third Brother!"
Third Brother Liu immediately stepped in front of her, lifting one of the young men with one hand.
His eyes were threatening everyone who dared to defend Liu Wanwan.
"Let's see who dares to touch my sister!"
The young men cowered at the sight of their comrade suspended in midair, unable to touch the ground. They all felt a shiver down their spine and retreated.
Third Brother Liu then tossed the two men to the ground, then turned to Liu Wanwan, "Hurry up and hand over the bracelet you stole."
