His mother had a sharp tongue but a soft heart. She was gentle and capable. What would his future wife be like?

If only she could be like his mother!

At night, it rained.

The spring rain was a little cold and fell gently on the banana leaves.

Hearing the raindrops, Liu Sanniang slept very peacefully.

During this period of time, she was also very tired, both physically and mentally. In her previous life, she had never experienced anything like what she just did in these past few days.

She was relieved to see that Madam Wei was back safely.

In a daze, Liu Sanniang felt a little cold. She opened her eyes and found that she was actually in a wasteland. This frightened her.

She pinched herself and found that it did not hurt.

This was a dream.

But this dream was too real. She was a little afraid.

“Help, help…”

Cries for help came from ahead.

Liu Sanniang was so frightened that she took a few steps back. It was raining, but not far ahead, there was a blazing fire, and people were burning in the fire.

They were asking for help.

Liu Sanniang felt terrible. Without even thinking, she knew where she was.

This was the mortuary that was burnt down.

Liu Sanniang did not know why she dreamed of this place.

However, when she saw these scenes and heard the cries for help, she really wanted to help them.

But how could she help?

What was she supposed to do?

Liu Sanniang squatted down and hugged her head. What was she supposed to do?

The cries for help almost drowned her.

Liu Sanniang felt an excruciating pain in her head. A holy scripture that she did not recognize appeared in her mind. She did not know what it meant at all.

However, she subconsciously read it out loud.

Namo Amitabha Buddha… (Note: Amitabha Pure Land Rebirth Mantra)

Without her noticing it, Liu Sanniang put her palms together. She closed her eyes and gently chanted this scripture. The cries for help in her ears became fewer and fewer. When she opened her eyes again, what appeared in front of her was ruins of the mortuary.

There was no cry for help anymore, nor any roaring fire.

She saw a wisp of black smoke flying into the night from the ruins, and a golden light flew into her body. When she saw a ball of light, she was instantly woken up.

Liu Sanniang sat up in shock and realized that she was not in the wasteland. She heaved a sigh of relief.

She was puzzled. This inexplicable power had helped her a lot, but could all the disasters be happening because of her?

Liu Sanniang sighed. She thought that from now on, she could live a smooth-sailing life.

This time, she had to find a husband she liked.

Early in the morning, Madam Wei went out grocery shopping after making breakfast. They were going to entertain guests tonight, so she had to prepare some good dishes.

After this incident, Madam Wei applied for a few days leave from the restaurant she worked at. The boss of the restaurant understood that this was an unexpected incident and agreed to her request.

Mr. Liu took Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang to buy wine and cigarettes. He thanked all the family members and then invited them to come to their house for dinner.

After doing all that, Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang went to Willow Alley.

Liu Cheng’s mother was about to be executed, but Liu Cheng and his father did not care at all. To them, Liu Cheng’s mother was not important.

In any case, Liu Cheng’s mother was about to die.

Liu Erlang and Liu Dalang came to the door and knocked. “Liu Cheng, give us the money. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude to you and your father.”

This family was so vicious that they even harmed someone who was about to give birth.

Liu Cheng’s father went to gamble whenever he had some money, so naturally he couldn’t fork out any money.

Liu Cheng was also afraid. Liu Dalang and Liu Erlang were taller and stronger than him, so he didn’t dare to open the door.

“Are you opening the door or not? If you don’t open the door, I’ll kick it open.”

Seeing that Liu Cheng did not come to open the door, Liu Erlang lost his temper.

Liu Cheng’s father was shocked and pushed Liu Cheng. “Son, quickly call your cousin over. He is also involved in this. Let him pay for it.”

Liu Cheng thought about it and agreed. He went out. “Stop knocking. I won’t go back on my word. I’ll go get the money now.”

Liu Cheng did not dare to walk through the main door, afraid that he would be beaten if he opened the door. He turned around and ran out through the side door.

Liu Cheng came to Liu Shun’s house and knocked on the door. “Brother, Brother, help me.”

Liu Shun was still recuperating from the beating.

When the government officers came to ask, he didn’t admit it. The officers were just asking questions, not arresting him. This meant that Liu Cheng did not expose him.

Liu Shun wasn’t afraid. Even if Liu Cheng exposed him, there was no evidence of his involvement.

Liu Shun’s mother opened the door and said to Liu Cheng rudely, “Liu Cheng, what do you want from my son? He’s injured and can’t see you.”

Liu Cheng couldn’t be bothered to talk to Liu Shun’s mother. He pushed her away and ran in, shouting. “Brother, save me. This was your…”

It was his idea.

“Of course I will help you. You don’t have to tell me. I know everything.”

Liu Shun interrupted Liu Cheng. He already knew that the case was closed. Liu Shun did not know what to say. Liu Cheng was a problem, but he was also someone he could use.

Liu Cheng was like a knife in his hand. He would chop the knife wherever he pointed. Updat𝒆d fr𝒐m nov𝒆lb(i)n.c(o)m

Liu Shun raised his hand. “It’s not that I didn’t want to go to the hearing. I was beaten up and my hand is broken. Don’t blame me. I can’t get out of bed these few days.”

Liu Cheng was originally unhappy, but when he saw that Liu Shun’s face was swollen, he calmed down.

Liu Cheng knelt down. “Brother, what should we do now? My mother has taken the blame. She will be executed in a few days.”

Thinking about it, Liu Cheng felt a lingering fear. If not for the fact that his mother was willing to take the blame, he wouldn’t be able to stand here. Now that his mother was about to be executed and he didn’t get any money, the thought of Yang Hua being married to an old guy as a concubine made Liu Cheng panic.

Now, he could only fall back upon Liu Shun.

Actually, every time Liu Shun gave him an idea, it always worked. It was just that something unexpected happened this time.

Liu Shun patted Liu Cheng on the shoulder. “Brother, don’t be anxious. Tell me what exactly is going on. I’ll help you think of a way.”

He didn’t know how the officers could find the whereabouts of the evidence.

Liu Shun was also puzzled, so he hoped to get an answer from Liu Cheng.

Liu Cheng shuddered. He could never forget the fear that struck him straight to the heart when his mind was read by a psychic. Liu Cheng told Liu Shun everything.

After saying that, Liu Cheng was discouraged. “Brother, do you think there really are psychics in this world?”
