After being reborn, I decisively broke off my engagement and married a cold-faced military young mas

"Mom, go in peace."

“I’ve grown up, gotten married, and have my own family. Dad has retired, so you don’t need to worry about things at home anymore.”

At her daughter's bedside, Lin Yuyao, who had cared for her for half her life, personally removed her oxygen mask.

She died in her fifties, from overwork.

Or... die of anger.

But her consciousness did not disappear immediately after death; she clearly heard them all breathe a sigh of relief.

The daughter said to Lu Jiangting, "My mother is finally dead, Dad. You should marry her. Now that she's gone, you don't have to feel guilty anymore. We still have decades ahead of us, and we should live a good life together as a family."

The "mother" she mentioned is Fang Qing, her daughter's mother-in-law.

She was also the widow of Lu Jiangting's comrade-in-arms, the woman he protected his entire life.

Lu Jiangting and Fang Qing were so moved that they hugged each other and wept. "Jiangting, we can finally be together."

Lu Jiangting sighed, "Fortunately, my daughter is filial and sensible, and she wasn't spoiled by Lin Yuyao."

At this moment, Lin Yuyao realized that they were actually a family, and that she was the sinner who was blocking their family's happiness.

Lin Yuyao couldn't breathe her last; she was unwilling to accept that she had spent her whole life working for others.

She toiled her whole life, which brought success to her husband, and the daughter she raised with great care became Fang Qing's daughter-in-law.

The next second, it was as if she had just woken up from a dream. Suddenly, she felt all the pain in her body disappear and her mind became exceptionally clear.

Before her stood Lu Jiangting in his youth, tall and handsome, his entire being now etched into her heart.

His words immediately brought her to her senses.

"Lin Yuyao, what are you doing now? I've already told you that Fang Qing and I have nothing going on."

This sentence sounds so familiar; it seems like I've heard it countless times.

The past is like a dream.

She seems to have woken up from a dream.

Lin Yuyao pinched the back of her hand hard, the pain making her even more awake.

"nothing?"

Lin Yuyao looked at the money in Fang Qing's hand, a thick wad of cash.

The money originally intended for her wedding is now in Fang Qing's hands.

Yesterday, Lu Jiangting stammered and told her that the wedding should be postponed for a while.

She was told to lie to her parents, saying that he had an urgent mission in the army and had to go back to his unit, and that the wedding would be held when he returned.

He said that a comrade's father was sick and didn't have enough money, so he lent out the money he had saved for his wedding.

This was to save her life, and to ask her to understand.

Okay, human life is of utmost importance, so she was understanding.

However, today, she witnessed Lu Jiangting giving money to Fang Qing.

She had no idea that Fang Qing was the father of his comrade-in-arms who was on the verge of death.

“Yuyao, you’ve misunderstood me and Jiang Ting. This money is… I borrowed it from Jiang Ting, and I’ll pay it back when I have the money. If you don’t want to, I… I can pay you back right now.”

Fang Qing looked like she had suffered a great injustice, clutching a thick wad of money in her hand.

He stretched out his hand, saying he wanted to return it to her, but he was actually squeezing it so tightly it was almost breaking.

Just like she always told her, there was nothing between her and Lu Jiangting.

But she clung to him like an octopus, refusing to let go no matter what.

Meanwhile, Lu Jiangting, Lin Yuyao's fiancé, was standing protectively behind Fang Qing.

He looked at her with great impatience, his eyes full of warning.

He seemed ready to teach her a lesson if she dared to reach out and take his hand.

Lin Yuyao stared blankly at the scene, which was exactly the same as that long dream.

Everything in the dream was so real that even after waking up, she could remember every detail, as if she had really experienced it herself.

Today's scene involving borrowing money was exactly the same as the one in my dream; they said the same thing word for word.

She immediately realized that the dream was not a simple dream.

In her dream, Fang Qing wouldn't repay the money.

I won't pay it back today, and I won't pay it back in the future... or even for the rest of my life.

Not only that, from now on, Fang Qing will take half of Lu Jiangting's monthly salary, and Lu Jiangting will keep half for himself and send the other half back to his hometown for her.

She lived a comfortable life, relying on Lu Jiangting's money and her deceased husband Wang Jianjun's pension.

Even though she was several years older than me, she looked twenty years younger than me in her old age.

Because he farms at home, he gets up earlier than the chickens and goes to bed later than the dogs every day.

To help Lu Jiangting fulfill his filial duty, she served her parents-in-law until their deaths.

She also raised her daughter, who was prone to illness, all by herself.

Perhaps it's because I've been too pathetic in this life, tied down by my child and Lu Jiangting's parents, that I have to struggle to survive on a quarter of Lu Jiangting's salary.

She cultivated her daughter's independence from a young age, telling her that it's better to rely on yourself than on anyone else, and that she must never repeat her mistakes.

She raised her daughter to be exceptionally talented, and she started her own company at a young age.

The daughter she raised with such care and effort would later marry Fang Qing's son.

Even though Fang Qing's son was a failure and couldn't get into school, Lu Jiangting used his connections to get him a job in the army.

But he was a disappointment and returned home after only a few years.

After that, I became a security guard.

To ensure that the good-for-nothing would live a carefree life, Lu Jiangting personally acted as matchmaker.

He said this was an agreement he made with Fang Qing's deceased husband, Wang Jianjun, years ago.

He couldn't break his promise just because she died, and force her to fulfill her wish.

Fang Qing was her lifelong nightmare. She tried desperately to stop her, but it was no use, and she even became estranged from her daughter.

After they got married, the son-in-law, who was a kept man, brought Fang Qing into their home under the pretext that his mother was lonely and helpless.

So she became a housekeeper to take care of the whole family. She was only in her fifties when she fell ill from overwork and was hospitalized. Her daughter personally removed her oxygen mask.

Thinking of her pathetic self in her dream, Lin Yuyao couldn't hold back her tears.

Seeing her cry, a trace of guilt appeared on Lu Jiangting's face, but it was so little that it vanished in an instant.

Then, he used anger to cover up his guilty conscience.

“I lent her money because Jianjun saved my life. He sacrificed his life, and I can’t just watch his wife and children starve to death. Lin Yuyao, can’t you be a little more sensible? Who are you crying to? It’s like I’ve bullied you.”

These two despicable people, isn't this bullying?

In her dream, she suffered countless injustices; if she didn't change, that would be the rest of her life.

No, Lin Yuyao would not allow herself to embark on such a path filled with suffering.

In reality, she would never allow herself to suffer the slightest injustice.

She will repay anyone who makes her life difficult by even a little bit.

As for Lu Jiangting, that scumbag, even if he knelt down and begged her, she would never marry him again.

"Lu Jiangting, do you think you're being honest and upright in taking care of Fang Qing and her child?"

Lu Jiangting was taken aback, wondering why she asked that.

"Of course, I've said it countless times, Jianjun saved my life."

Lin Yuyao laughed, "Since you're being honest, why did you lie to me?"

Lu Jiangting: "..."

"I was afraid you'd be angry, but it would have been wrong of me to lie to you."

Surprisingly, he actually knew he was wrong.

Lin Yuyao wiped away her tears and said calmly, "Alright then, I'll let it go since you lied to me. I forgive you."

Lu Jiangting was stunned, never expecting her to say forget it?

Fang Qing was also a little confused.

Knowing Lin Yuyao as she does, she's sure she'll cause a huge scene.

If she were to offer some more heartfelt advice, she would know that her understanding nature contrasted sharply with Lin Yuyao's shrewish behavior, and Lu Jiangting would definitely grow to dislike her more and more. She hoped that he would dislike her to the point of not marrying her.

Unexpectedly, Lin Yuyao would let this matter slide.

She smiled awkwardly and said, "Really? That's great, Yuyao, thank you."

"Hmm." Lin Yuyao gave a soft "hmm," and looked at the money in her hand. "How much is it?"

"This... I hadn't even had a chance to count them when Yuyao barged in."

Yes, Lin Yuyao just barged in.

She was shopping, preparing to buy some things for her wedding.

A neighbor told her that they saw Lu Jiangting from her family go to Fang Qing's house.

So she went straight to Fang Qing's house, and without much effort, she broke down Fang Qing's small wooden door.

Lin Yuyao looked at Lu Jiangting, "How much money do you have?"

Lu Jiangting stammered, "I don't know either."

Well, he didn't even count the money, just handed it to her directly, and he still has the nerve to say it was a loan?

“Let’s count them,” she said.

Fang Qing swayed precariously. "Yu Yao, I will repay you. You don't need to insult me."
