Chapter 37 The Whole Family Fakes Their Deaths

"Why weren't you the one who died! You're the one who killed my son and grandson, you owe me their lives!" The old woman in front of him cried with snot and tears streaming down her face, raising her fist as if to charge at Qi Yuan. Qi Yuan looked at her with disgust and dodged her.

The old woman didn't expect Qiyuan to dodge, so she rushed straight at him, but she lost her balance and fell flat on her face.

When relatives and friends who came to offer their condolences saw this, they stepped forward to help the old woman up from the ground and began to criticize her for praying.

"Oh dear, why are you dodging? Your grandma is just too sad. Letting her hit you a couple of times won't hurt you much." The person who spoke was really talking without any sense of the situation. Others might not know how strong this old woman was, but Qi Yuan certainly did. Don't underestimate this old woman just because she's old; she's surprisingly strong. Wasn't the original owner of this body once beaten by this old woman and had a rib broken?

What was it about that time? It seems that the younger brother was unhappy because he wanted to see the original owner's award certificate. In order to make the younger brother happy, the old woman wanted to tear up the award certificate that the original owner had worked so hard to get. The original owner stopped her and was hit by the old woman who rushed over, breaking one of his ribs.

When the original owner's parents found out about this, they only said that the original owner was ignorant and did not know how to respect the elderly and care for the young. Even when they saw that the original owner was in pain and his face was pale, they did not take him to the hospital. The original owner just endured it for a month.

As for why the original owner didn't go to the hospital for a checkup, Qi Yuan still knew accurately that the original owner had broken a rib. Qi Yuan glanced down at the rib area; it had only been a month, and it wasn't fully healed yet. If it had been hit again, it might have broken even more completely.

Wasn't this how it was in the original owner's life? Because of the short time, the ribs were completely broken and pierced the lungs. The pain made the original owner dizzy for a moment, followed by the old woman's punches and kicks. The pain made the original owner not realize that there was something wrong with his body in time, and he was busy arranging the funerals for his parents and Qiwang.

Before he could rest for long, debt collectors came knocking, leaving the original owner alone at home. Where would the original owner get any money? He had already finished his college entrance exams and had never seen pocket money. The only red bill in his pocket was earned from odd jobs after the exams. Unlike Qi Wang, who had a steady stream of pocket money since first grade, reaching fifty yuan a day by high school, and even that wasn't enough.

Seeing that the original owner had no money, the creditor rushed into the house and began to move things. The original owner tried to stop him but failed and was pushed to the ground. The broken ribs pierced deeper, and he spat out a mouthful of blood before losing consciousness.

When the original owner woke up again, he had become a ghost and saw his parents and younger brother who had come back to life. They were happily laughing at home with money in their hands.

"Hahaha, you've died at just the right time! Mom and Dad, we don't have to fake our deaths anymore, right?" Qi Wang's eyes lit up as he looked at the stacks of red bills.

"No need. The creditors were afraid of having to pay compensation, so they simply waived our debt. Qi Yuan's organs even received more than ten million yuan in thank-you money. Qi Yuan's death was really timely."

“Honey, I found his acceptance letter while I was organizing Qi Yuan’s things today. It’s from Q University! What do you think, should we…” Qi’s mother said, looking at Qi Wang.

"Yes! Why wouldn't we want it! Anyway, the school can't tell whether it's Qiwang or Qiyuan. It just so happens that Qiyuan wrote Qiwang's name when she was in the hospital. Let Qiwang go to Q University. When she graduates, she can find a daughter-in-law with a high level of education. Our family's future will be bright!" Father Qi slapped his thigh and made the decision.

Qi Wang, however, was somewhat dissatisfied with his father's words. "Dad, does that mean I have to be called Qi Yuan from now on? I don't want to!" Qi Wang pouted and turned his back. Seeing that their precious son was angry, his parents quickly stepped forward to comfort him.

"If you don't like your name, you can change it when you start school. Your parents will help you change it then!"

"But, isn't it said that changing a name is a lot of trouble?"

"So what if it's a bit of a hassle? It's just that Mommy's precious son doesn't like it. If he doesn't like it, we'll change it. What's a little trouble? Honey, don't you think?"

"Yes, yes, we have money, we're not afraid of trouble!"

Seeing his parents' assurance, Qi Wang finally smiled, and the family of three began to laugh again as they looked at the stacks of money.

The original owner was going crazy floating in the air, shouting incessantly, but no one could hear him. He wanted to destroy all the money, leaving them nothing, and he also wanted to destroy the acceptance letter, but he couldn't.

The original owner couldn't understand why, since she and her younger brother were twins, her parents only liked her brother and hated her. Heaven seemed to sense her confusion and revealed the answer that very night.

"As expected, my eldest brother's family was my nemesis. Now that they're all dead, our family is suddenly rich!" Father Qi lay on the bed, speaking softly to Mother Qi. The original owner, floating in mid-air, couldn't understand what Father Qi was saying. What did he mean by my eldest brother's family being dead? Did he even have an uncle? Why had he never heard of him before?

"If my eldest brother's family hadn't been so wealthy yet unwilling to lend me money, I wouldn't have wanted to kill them. But it's better that they're dead; they left me all their assets, plus insurance payouts..."

"Luckily you were smart back then, you lied to Mom and said that Qiwang was the eldest brother's child..."

Hearing Qi's father's praise, Qi's mother couldn't help but blush and say, "Oh, back then, I only did this because I really liked my eldest brother's child. Wasn't I doing this for the good of our child? Who knew that Mom would actually believe it? All these years, she's watched us mistreat Qi Yuan without even noticing. What parent could mistreat their own child..."

“That’s true. Do you think Mom might have already found out?” Qi’s father suddenly became suspicious when he heard Qi’s mother say this.

"No, I tested her. Mom is biased, biased towards my eldest brother's child. I really can't imagine what kind of life Qiwang would have lived if she hadn't said that Qiwang was my eldest brother's child!" Qiwang's mother waved her hand, indicating that Qiwang's father could rest assured.

“From now on, we should mention Big Brother and Qiyuan less in front of Mom, lest she find out.” After saying this, Qi’s father did not notice that the door was open a crack, and a resentful eye was seen through the crack.

The original owner still wanted to know what was going on. Wasn't she her parents' child? Why did they say she was her uncle's child? She wanted to know more, but the couple stopped talking and started fantasizing about how to spend the money.

The original owner stamped his feet anxiously, but he couldn't hear a single word about his uncle's family from the couple. As the midnight bell rang, the original owner's soul was drawn to his own grave.

"My poor son and grandson, it's my fault. It's my fault for not recognizing you. Please wait a little longer. I will make them go down to apologize to you." A fire lit up in front of the original owner's grave. It was Grandma Qi burning paper money and muttering to herself. From behind, Grandma Qi no longer looked like the one who pushed the original owner. Her body was hunched over, and she looked more than ten years older.

The original owner was trapped near her own ashes and could no longer leave. The next day at noon, Grandma Qi came again, burning paper money as usual, speaking in a language the original owner could not understand.

"My son, my grandson, I've avenged you. Soon that whole family will be coming down to find you. Don't worry, just wait a little longer." As the paper money was almost burned out, police appeared in the distance. Grandma Qi glanced back and quickened her pace of burning the paper money.

"Ms. Li Cuihua, you are suspected of poisoning the Qi family of three, resulting in their deaths. Please cooperate with our investigation."

Grandma Qi took a deep look at her son's and grandson's tombstones, stretched out her hands, and cooperated with the police to put on handcuffs, looking as if she was going to her death with a generous expression.

"I don't know how they faked their deaths and came back to life in their previous lives. Since they like faking their deaths so much, why not make it real..."

"As for her, she abused me and killed me. I hate her, but she also avenged me. From now on, just pretend I never had a grandmother." When the original owner said this, there was a young couple beside him. The couple just nodded and didn't say anything, obviously having no objection to what the original owner said.

The family of three didn't want to see what happened next, so they disappeared into the void.

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

"Grandma, it's my fault. I shouldn't have dodged. Please hit me or scold me." Qi Yuan stepped forward, and the moment her hand touched Grandma Qi, all the experiences from her previous life flooded into Grandma Qi's mind.

Grandma Qi's hand, which she was about to raise, froze in mid-air for a full two minutes. The relatives and friends around her did not come forward, but they were still curious about Grandma Qi's dazed state. However, no one spoke up, and time seemed to stand still at that moment.

After Grandma Qi recovered, tears welled up in her eyes before she could speak. Just as she was about to open her mouth, she turned to look at the three coffins, swallowed back the words she wanted to say, patted Qi Yuan on the shoulder, and ultimately said nothing.

"Auntie, don't be too sad. Qiyuan still cares about you. He probably just instinctively tried to avoid you. He didn't do it on purpose." Seeing that Grandma Qi didn't intend to hit Qiyuan anymore, relatives and friends stopped adding fuel to the fire and spoke up to defend Qiyuan.

Grandma Qi simply nodded. When everyone saw that Grandma Qi's face was covered in tears, they said things like "please accept our condolences."

"Ah Yuan, call the crematorium." Grandma Qi steeled her heart and said those words.

The others nodded in agreement, saying that with the hot weather, leaving the body for too long wasn't good, and it would be better to cremate it sooner and let it rest in peace. Only Zhang Qi stopped them from making the phone call. Zhang Qi was a doctor, a friend of Qi's father, and the one who issued the death certificates for the family of three.

The original plan was that someone would pretend to be from a crematorium later and take the family of three there for cremation, but in reality, they would first send the three of them to the countryside to hide.

Grandma Qi's words disrupted Zhang Qi's plans. The Qi family of three, fearing exposure, had taken sleeping pills beforehand and were now sound asleep in the coffin, completely unaware they were about to be cremated. Zhang Qi was merely a friend of Qi's father, and his attempts to stop them were futile. He wanted to wake Qi's father, but considering he had issued the death certificate and received 100,000 yuan from him, he worried that waking them now would cost him his job and potentially lead to huge compensation claims.

Zhang Qi closed his eyes: Lao Qi, don't blame me. I can't lose my job for your family.

After finishing the phone call, Qi Yuan found the organ donation form in her parents' bedroom. It was because her father had been drinking and bragging about this one day that he mentioned it. In order not to lose face, her father had the whole family sign the consent form.

Grandma Qi seemed to have remembered this incident as well. She recalled that in her previous life, Qi Yuan received a lot of thank-you money after donating her organs. She also remembered Qi Yuan's father's debts. In order for her eldest grandson to live an easier life in the future, Grandma Qi went to find Qi Yuan.

"Did your parents sign that organ donation agreement?"

"Grandma, is this it?" Qi Yuan asked, holding up a stack of papers in her hand.

"Yes, what did they say? Do as they say!" To be honest, Grandma Qi was really ruthless. Qi's father was also Grandma Qi's son. In the previous life, after learning the truth, he poisoned people to death without hesitation. In this life, after having the memories of the previous life, he couldn't wait to kill this family of three.

Qi Yuan had no idea what the old lady was thinking, but she did as Grandma Qi said.

There are many people waiting for organ transplants, but unfortunately, very few people donate. Less than half an hour after the prayer call was made, people from the hospital arrived before the crematorium, followed by reporters carrying cameras.

It's truly unheard of for a family of three to donate organs. Let alone three people, even just one person would attract reporters.

The people who came from the hospital were Zhang Qi's superiors. Qi Yuan saw that Zhang Qi's face had turned a shade paler, and his lips were trembling, but he still didn't tell the truth. It was better that he didn't tell, so as not to waste Qi Yuan's energy causing the Qi family to really die.

The hospital leaders praised the Qi family for their high level of awareness and thanked Grandma Qi for agreeing to the organ donation of the three individuals. They also made sure to remove the three 'bodies' as quickly as if they were afraid Grandma Qi might change her mind.
