The feeling of suffocation became more and more apparent. Chen Jiao opened her mouth to call for help, but instead drank a mouthful of water. She opened her eyes, but couldn't tell whether what was in front of her was her long hair or the aquatic plants in the river … There's a man swimming towards her... Was he going to be saved?

He was so tired that he didn't even have the strength to lift his hand. Faintly, he heard someone say, "You guys say that my son is adulterous with another male, but I want to ask, where is that wild man? "You caught me red-handed. Without any evidence, you sent my son to hell. How pitiful is it for a white-haired man like me to send a black-haired man …"

"Wuwuwu …" "Elder sister, don't die …"

Who was crying in her ear? Chen Jiao frowned. Could it be that the lesson she taught the Wang family wasn't enough? He actually dared to disturb her while she was sleeping.

No, that's not right. The Wang family had all been sent to prison by her, where would they cry in her home?

"Chen Wang, you're not in our village. How would you know what your daughter's life is like? A few days ago, she met with an outsider at the pond and was caught red-handed by her mother-in-law. Her husband has only died less than seven days ago, and his body hasn't even turned cold yet.

An aged voice sounded out, and the string in Chen Jiao's mind was struck by something. What pond, what clan rule?

My fate is miserable, my husband died too early, I raised two children by myself. When their Lin Family came to ask to marry my daughter, they did not say that they wanted to marry a sickly child who was about to die, now that their son is dead, they want to send my daughter to hell for a marriage. Don't think that just because I don't know anything that I can bully them.

The room suddenly became filled with whispers, "So that's what Old Lin's wife is trying to do. I say, this Jiaoniang doesn't have the guts to meet an outsider in private."

"You can't say that. This Lin Jiaoniang isn't a good person either. She's just a fox spirit and knows how to seduce men."

Lin Lanzhi snorted coldly and stood up, glancing sideways at Wang Meihua who was kneeling beside Chen Jiaoniang's corpse. "You old dog, I thought you wanted some compensation? No matter what, Jiaoniang married into our family for two years, and although she didn't give birth to half a girl, she still has to suffer due to her lack of merit. Since you're part of her family, I'll give you twenty silver taels."

"Ten taels?" Wang Meihua looked at her daughter, who was covered with a white cloth. Her heart was moved. Even though she felt sad for her daughter's death, she still had a son! Tieh Dan was only 6 years old. If he had these 10 silver coins, he could go to school and would not be bullied like her in the future.

Wang Meihua threw herself onto Chen Jiao's body as she cried. Tieh Dan saw his sister wasn't moving even under the white cloth and his mother was crying so loudly. He couldn't help but throw himself at her and cry, "Sister, Sister, please get up quickly!"

The childish voice that was mixed with the other chattering sounds in the room gave her a headache. Chen Jiao's mind had long since cleared up, but her body was extremely heavy and she was unable to lift her hand up.

From the looks of it, her soul had ended up with this girl called Chen Jiaoniang. Her husband had died less than a week ago, and her mother-in-law had secretly sent him to the underworld to accompany her husband.

Chen Jiao snorted inwardly. She'd always heard of the ignorant in ancient times, but she'd never imagined that this sort of outrageous product could exist!

He was furious. It was as if he had a sliver of energy. Jiaoniangli's fingers moved slightly on the outside and her sharp eyes caught sight of her!

"Deceitful …" "It's a dead body!" When a thin man saw Jiaoniang's finger move, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him, so he quickly called his wife to look over. The two of them were scared to the point of shitting their pants and scrambled out of the clan hall, "Chen Jiaoniang's swindled corpse!"

"What are you arguing about!"

Jiaoniang struggled to lift the white cloth off her face, straightening up from the ground and slowly looking around.

The entire room was scared stiff by her cold gaze. After a while, she ran out of the family hall while crying like a ghost, "Fake a corpse! Fake a corpse!"

Wang Meihua was also scared to the point that her entire body was trembling. But even if she faked her corpse, she was still her daughter! She hugged Tieh Dan and shivered. "Jiao …" "Jiaoniang …"

Chen Jiao paid no attention to her. Her eyes were fixated on a middle-aged woman dressed in rich attire. It was her mother-in-law, Lin Lanzhi.

Lin Lanzhi was so frightened that she had already collapsed on the ground. Just now, when Chen Jiaoniang moved, her husband had already run away with the rest of the group. How could he still care about her?

Clan head Lin Hongtao was so frightened that he sat on the chair, not daring to move. He was sitting right in front of Chen Jiaoniang's corpse. When he wanted to run away, he realized that he still had to overtake Jiaoniang, so he didn't dare to move even if he was beaten to death.

Seeing that she was being stared at by Chen Jiaoniang, Lin Lanzhi's entire body became wet and a reeking stench filled the air. It turned out that she had been shocked to the point of peeing!

Chen Jiaoniang looked at Lin Lanzhi with disdain. She slowly got up from the ground. She was already weak and weak. After being bathed in water, her face turned pale. She looked just like a female ghost who was about to take her life.

Lin Lanzhi kicked her legs and screamed loudly, "Ahhh! You bitch! Get away from me! Patriarch! "Save me!"

"Granny, my husband said that he misses you very much. He told me to bring you along as well …" It just so happened that a gust of wind blew through the room, causing the hair on the back of everyone present to stand on end.

Lin Lanzhi seemed to have heard something extraordinary as she lay on the ground while screaming. Her hair was in disarray from her grabbing and her clothes were covered in urine. She looked extremely miserable.

Seeing Lin Lanzhi about to go mad from fright, the Patriarch stood up and forced himself to walk towards Chen Jiao. "Jiaoniang, are you still alive?"

He had heard from the older generation that some people who fell into the water and drank too little water would enter a death-like state, and would be resurrected after being rescued. Was Chen Jiaoniang like this?

She'd never been afraid of knocking on the door in the middle of the night. Now that she was afraid of such a thing, the adultery between her original body and an outsider might have been her doing.

Jiaoniang, you're not dead?" When Wang Meihua heard the Patriarch's words, she hurriedly got up and hugged Chen Jiaoniang. She touched Chen Jiaoniang's warm body, and her tears fell all at once. "Wuu, you're still alive. "Is there something wrong with you?

When she was still unconscious earlier, Wang Meihua had indeed been moved by Lin Lanzhi's offer of a silver tael. If she didn't wear it on Chen Jiaoniang, this innocent girl would have died from injustice.

Chen Jiao was unhappy in her heart, but what could she do? She had lived a rough life, and people without money had no dignity. Furthermore, she was mistaken for dead, so it was a good thing for her to exchange her for a comfortable life with them.

Thinking up to here, Chen Jiao saw Tieh Dan, who was standing at the side. A six year old boy couldn't eat well due to his poor family background. He was skinny and hungry, and his eyes were wide open as he looked at her in fear.

Chen Jiao had no children in her entire life and had no natural resistance to children. When she saw Tieh Dan's frightened appearance, she felt extremely helpless in her heart.

Thus, she squatted down and touched Tieh Dan's face, "Is Tieh Dan scared?"
