Countdown to Awakening

Chen Jiade had a condescending look on his face.

"Can't I buy her with my money? Since you guys don't want to bury her, I can do it anyway."

"Who do you think you are?! Liu Yingdi is my wife, and you coming here to bury her is such a joke! You think there are no men left in our Chen family, right? Why would you, someone with no background, come here? I'm telling you, she's my wife, and I can bury her wherever I want. It's not up to you!"

Jiang Wen stood in front of him, looking a little vicissitudes of life.

Chen Jiade's mother was already upset when he arrived, but who knew he would actually ask for her daughter-in-law's body? Who knew what he was going to do with it? What was his purpose?

If this gets out, who knows what people will say about their family? They'll say they mistreat their daughter-in-law...

"We won't give it to you. Don't you see who you are? You just ask for my daughter-in-law. What are you going to do with her now that she's dead? I know you and my daughter-in-law were in love before, but... that was years ago. Since she's my daughter-in-law now, you still want to take her away? That doesn't make sense!"

Jiang Wen was about to speak when Grandma Qian suddenly came to the Chen family.

"Hey, what are you doing? Old Chen's wife, let me say a few words. It doesn't matter whether you want to listen or not."

When Chen Jiade and his mother saw Grandma Qian coming, they looked at each other and Chen Jiade said, "Grandma Qian, what do you want to say?"

Grandma Qian looked at Jiang Wen, and then said to her, "Mrs. Chen, you should just let Yingdi go and give her to Jiang Wen. It's not a good idea to have her at home all the time."

"That won't do! How can I just give my daughter-in-law to someone else? Besides, it will make people think that my daughter-in-law and Jiang Wen have an affair, and my son will become the victim, right?"

Grandma Qian said earnestly, "Listen to me. I know a little about fortune-telling. Your daughter-in-law is quite resentful, and your eldest grandson is a bit of an unlucky element for her, otherwise how could he have died? Keeping him at home is not a big deal. It won't have much impact on you and Jiade, but it might even harm Tianci and the two girls! She died unwillingly that night, without even seeing her newborn child. Do you think she could have died willingly? Jiang Wen had a friendship with her after all. Giving him to Jiang Wen will save your family from danger."

Chen Jiade's mother was stunned when she heard this, not knowing whether to believe it or not.

She couldn't guarantee whether Grandma Jiang was lying to her, but she was also worried about her eldest grandson.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Grandma Qian continued, "Didn't Tianci go to the hospital the day after he was born? How can you not believe it? Wasn't it Yingdi who did it? She's not willing to accept it. If you find a place to bury her feces, it may not be able to appease her resentment. I think we should just let Jiang Wen take her away. That way, even if he wants revenge, he won't come back to find you."

"Ah? My eldest grandson is sick because of her? She...she is so cruel? She doesn't even let her own son go? I'm not afraid of her! I'll come and suppress her in a few days! It's bad enough that she eats for free when she's alive, but now she can't let anyone rest in peace after she dies?"

"Don't! You absolutely can't do this. Yingdi is very resentful, and she died giving birth to your son. Even if you ask someone to calm her down, it will be useless. She will still seek revenge on Tianci in the future. If you don't want Tianci to get hurt, let Jiang Wen take her away immediately! Otherwise, you will suffer the consequences in the future."

Jiang Wen seemed to understand what she meant, but didn't say anything.

Chen Jiade was still unhappy. He retorted, "Grandma Qian, please stop talking nonsense. My son is very blessed, how could he be unlucky by her? You can fool my mother with this, but can you fool me?"

"Don't talk nonsense. It's better to believe something than not to believe it. If it really happens, who will I blame? Yingdi is gone, so how can I blame me? If you don't respect ghosts and gods, something bad will happen sooner or later. I advise you to just believe it."

Chen Jiade looked disdainful, but his mother was more likely to believe these claims.

When she heard that her eldest grandson would be harmed, she quickly pulled Chen Jiade aside and whispered, "Son, I think Grandma Qian is right. We can't gamble, right? If something really happens to Tianci, there's nothing we can do. We don't have much money and can't afford to marry another one. Tianci is our only child. If he's gone, the family line will be cut off. Can you bear to see our Chen family die out?"

Chen Jiade seemed to be thinking about something and asked, "Mom, don't believe them. What if these two are working together to deceive us? Where can we seek justice? Right? It's better not to believe them. Otherwise, it's hard to say who is harming Tianci."

Chen Jiade's mother was unhappy when she heard this.

"Son, you can't disbelieve this. What if something unexpected happens to our Tianci? If it's just Tianci, I can still disbelieve it, but if all three children are unlucky, there's no way they can say it's a scam. Even if it's fake, we've solved a problem, and he even gave us money. I can make another fortune after this woman dies, isn't that a good thing..."

Chen Jiade pursed his lips, still disagreeing: "No, if I hand that woman over, what will others think of me? They will definitely think that I treated her badly. She is my wife, so I must be responsible. In short, I can't give her to him!"

The mother frowned and advised, "Don't worry about face now. Our Tianci is the most important. You know we're short of money. We can make some money by selling her to Jiang Wen. Tianci will need money for many things in the future. If you don't want to sell her, I'll make the decision! Anyway, I can't let my eldest grandson suffer. Have you forgotten how much money we spent on her last illness? Besides, if we sell her, the retribution won't be on us..."

After hearing this, Chen Jiade gritted his teeth and agreed.

The two of them came before Grandma Qian. The mother flattered him, "Grandma Qian, I've discussed this with my son, and for the sake of my eldest grandson, I'll just hand her over. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that what you said will come true."

After listening to this, Jiang Wen finally smiled.

As long as you are willing to give it to him, he will accept it in any way.

"Five hundred dollars, no less. You were the one who asked to buy it, so you're okay with our offer, right?"

Jiang Wen was a little embarrassed and said, "Can you give me less? How about two hundred yuan? I really can't afford that much."

Chen Jiade snorted coldly and said, "Who would believe that a teacher like you can't come up with so much money? You just don't want to pay, right? If you don't give it to me, I won't sell it to you."

Grandma Qian tried to smooth things over, saying, "Old Mrs. Chen, please make it a little cheaper. He's been dead for several days, so he's not worth the price, is he?"
