The sister-in-law was wrong, please forgive her, my black-bellied brother-in-law

"What's wrong with my head?"

Qiao Xi asked nervously with a tense face.

She had just survived by chance, was she going to die again?

"Oh my..." Shen Meisheng cried out in alarm, his tone blaming her, "Are you trying to kill yourself? Why are you still standing here with such injuries? No wonder you're lacking energy. Go lie down on the bed right away."

After hearing this, Qiao Xi's tense heart slowly relaxed.

But when she saw the gloomy look of the original owner's brother-in-law, the sigh of relief she had just breathed was lifted again.

"What a sin! Xu Chen was frightened to death!"

"That's right. If I were here just now, I would probably be scared to death too."

"You said that Xu Tai's family's survival should be a good thing, but exchanging one life for another, can it be considered a good thing?"

……

Listening to the discussions of the people around her, Qiao Xi felt a pang of self-blame in her heart.

It wasn't because of what the villagers said, but because they were all wrong. It wasn't one life for one life, but two lives for her life.

"Xu Yi, don't be sad. Let's prepare for your mother's funeral."

I don't know who mentioned it.

After hearing this, some people followed suit.

"Yes. We need to prepare Mrs. Chen's funeral clothes quickly, otherwise she won't be able to wear them later."

"Xu Tai's family, funeral clothes are for the dead. Why are you still wearing them? Go change them quickly."

Everyone was talking at once, distracting the original owner's brother-in-law.

Without the oppressive gaze of him, Qiao Xi's ability to think finally returned.

When she heard the word "funeral clothes", she noticed that she was indeed wearing burial clothes.

If a living person wears funeral clothes, it is a curse for his death.

Thinking of this, she looked up and wanted to say that she was going to change her clothes, but it happened that the original owner's brother-in-law also looked at her.

Their eyes met, and Qiao Xi subconsciously lowered her eyes. She saw disgust and murderous intent in his eyes. Although the murderous intent was fleeting, she was sure she was not mistaken.

He wanted to kill her?

Isn't her situation very dangerous? And the most direct way to avoid danger is to stay away from it.

But it was understandable that he wanted to take her life.

Thinking back to the old woman's words in the original owner's memory, that her only wish in life was to see her youngest son succeed, Qiao Xi felt that she could not avoid this danger.

Forget it, she should see what she can do to make amends in the future, even if he wants to kill her.

The funeral is the most important thing right now.

But she didn't understand these funeral matters. Just as she was about to ask the villagers behind her, she couldn't suppress the dizziness anymore. Before she could say a word, Qiao Xi fell backwards and lost consciousness.

Qiao Xi didn't know that as soon as she fell down, a scream came from behind her, and then her falling body was caught by the person behind her.

Fortunately, she was caught by someone, otherwise she would have gone to hell.

Because someone threw an axe on the ground behind her, and it happened to hit Qiao Xi's head.

No one noticed that when Qiao Xi fell, Xu Yi's eyes lit up, but when he saw her being caught by someone, that light dimmed instantly.

As she fell, there was a panic in the funeral home. Fortunately, there was someone who could take charge of the situation. He directed several people to carry Qiao Xi back to her own room, and then directed others to help Xu Yi prepare for Xu Chen's funeral.

……

When Qiao Xi woke up again, she found herself lying on the bed. The room was dark and quiet.

She was stunned for a moment, then remembered what happened.

I thought to myself, shouldn’t there be a funeral going on right now? Why is it so quiet?

She tried to move and found that her head still hurt, but it was still bearable.

So he endured the pain, struggled to sit up from the bed, and wanted to go outside to see what was going on.

"you're awake!"

Suddenly, a bone-chilling voice sounded not far from her, which made her stunned.

The room was dark, but fortunately there was a faint light coming through the window.

With the faint light, Qiao Xi discovered that there was a person sitting at the table not far from the bed.

The man was thin and his face could not be seen clearly, but Qiao Xi recognized him at a glance. He was none other than the original owner's brother-in-law Xu Yi.

Shouldn't he be busy with the funeral arrangements? Why was he here with her? And it was pitch dark.

He doesn't want to kill her now to avenge his mother, does he?

The motivation and time are all in line.

Thinking of this, Qiao Xi's heart gradually tightened, and even her speech became a little stuttering.

"Uh-um, little-uncle, why are you-why are you here? Shouldn't you be-should be busy-busy-"

"What are you busy with?" Xu Yi looked at the woman in front of him through the night, his voice as cold as ice in winter, freezing people's bones.

Qiao Xi shrank back from the cold and dared not say a word.

"Sister-in-law, you are really prone to dizziness. You fainted and missed my mother's funeral."

Xu Yi paused, his voice unrecognizable as either happy or angry, and continued, "Sister-in-law was unable to wear mourning for my mother due to health reasons. Yan Zheng has nothing to say. However, Yan Zheng is a little confused. I wonder if Sister-in-law could help him clear up his confusion?"

Yan Zheng is Xu Yi's nickname.

Not sure what he was going to do next, Qiao Xi had to answer carefully.

"My dear brother-in-law, you are joking. You are a scholar, and I am just a country girl. How can I help you solve your problems?"

Xu Yi seemed not to hear what she was saying, his thoughts drifting away. "My mother bought my sister-in-law from the human traffickers. Apart from marrying her off to my eldest brother, she has done nothing wrong to her. Why would my sister-in-law repay me with hatred?"

Xu Yi looked at the innocent and cautious woman in front of him, and the bloodthirsty desire that he had suppressed in his heart was about to stir.

If killing was not illegal, he would have a hundred ways to torture her to death slowly.

When the eldest brother was alive, he did his best to treat her well, and even considered her reluctance and did not even complete the marriage.

Her mother also felt sorry for her and treated her like her own daughter.

But what did they get in return for their efforts?

It's not her gratitude, nor her kindness, but her getting worse.

She always acted superior, trampling on the feelings of her mother and elder brother.

Fortunately, he never believed that good people would be rewarded, otherwise his family would probably have died at the hands of this woman.

Qiao Xi already has all the memories of the original owner, and she has a general understanding of what kind of person the original owner is. She is not surprised at all that he dislikes her, hates her, and wants her dead.

But now she is not the original owner, she cannot tell the truth and cannot speak, so she can only bear all his resentment and hatred, and even more excessive actions.

Afraid of accidentally angering the person in front of her and causing him to make an irreparable mistake, Qiao Xi tried to soften her voice and sound like a good person.

Although she is indeed a good person now.

"Brother-in-law, you have to believe me. I never want to repay kindness with hatred. This was really an accident. If I had known that my mother-in-law would be scared to death by my sudden awakening, I would rather stay in the coffin a little longer."

"Really, I swear, I am really innocent this time. If I lie, God will punish me."

In order to make Xu Yi believe that what she said was true, Qiao Xi raised her hand and swore to the sky.

"You're innocent? How dare you say you're innocent! Qiao Xi, do you think everyone except you is a fool? Before you say you're innocent, explain what this is?"

After saying that, Xu Yi suddenly picked up a package from the table and threw it over.

The night was too dark, and Qiao Xi only saw a dark shadow rushing towards her. She subconsciously tried to dodge, but it was too late.

"Hmm!" The mass of stuff hit her forehead, making her body shake.

After steadying herself, Qiao Xi opened the package in the moonlight.

The package contained several pieces of women's clothing, some dry food and a purse.

The purse felt heavy, so out of curiosity she opened it.

Looking at the ten-liang silver ingot in her hand, she knew it was not made by her, but she still felt a little ashamed.

He couldn't help but secretly curse the original owner in his heart: If you want to leave, just leave. Why do you have to be so ruthless as to pocket the money that saved someone else's son's life.

Qiao Xi swallowed, raised her eyes to look at Xu Yi, and said in a weak voice, "Well, I can explain it."

"Oh!"

With a sneer, Xu Yi stood up and walked towards her.

As he stood up, the moonlight cast a dark shadow on his back.

The shadow gradually expanded until it completely enveloped Qiao Xi like a mountain.

Qiao Xi felt a little difficulty breathing and unconsciously retreated until she felt a cold touch behind her and there was no way to retreat.

But the man in front of her showed no sign of stopping and continued to approach her, so close that she could feel his breath on her face.

Her whole body was stiff, her hands and feet seemed to be out of control of her brain, and she stared blankly at him as he stretched out his hands, and then she saw with her own eyes that hand, like a pair of pliers, slowly fall on her neck.

Qiao Xi felt a sharp pain in her neck, followed by a feeling of suffocation, and slowly lost her breath.
