After Rebirth, Stay Away From the Devil Mother

01

In my past life, my mother and brother chased me out of the house with curses, only for me to get hit by a speeding car on the street, meeting a tragic end.

My parents lay on the ground, holding onto the driver's legs and demanding millions in compensation before they would let him go.

The driver was unlucky. The accident happened because I suddenly ran into the street in a panic, with my mother and brother chasing me, hitting and cursing.

But the scene of my parents throwing a tantrum and rolling on the ground was too frightening. My brother, with his dyed blonde hair, looked menacing too. The driver reluctantly paid my family 150 thousand dollars.

As soon as the door closed, my mother, smug, told my brother, "150 thousand dollars, son. You've got more funds for a bride now."

When I woke up, I found myself reborn, back to before our village was demolished.

——

In my past life, my village was demolished and we were relocated, and the compensation was distributed based on the number of people in a family. My family got 750 thousand dollars. Although my sister and I were both married, we should have gotten a share too.

But my mother said, "A married daughter belongs to another family. Lara and Chloe, don't even think about it. Everything at home belongs to your brother. This money belongs to our family. Not a penny will go to outsiders."

She sounded as if my sister and I were maids, and my brother was the master.

Indeed, in my past life, my sister and I were forced to work for the family, having to provide monthly allowances to support our brother even after marriage. My mother used all the compensation from the demolition and relocation to buy a new house for my brother and demanded more from us because he wanted to decorate the house lavishly.

My sister and I grew up being emotionally manipulated, becoming submissive and timid, daring not to voice our anger.

The only time I couldn't stand it and argued with my parents was when they demanded my husband's family give a new apartment to my brother, saying that they had so many vacant apartments and that the bride price was low, so this apartment could make up for it.

I was furious. Indeed, my husband's family was well-off, which was why my parents allowed our love marriage.

But exploiting my sister and me was one thing. After all, we were their daughters and it was natural for us to repay them. Why should my husband's family have to suffer as well just to support their beloved son?

Besides, that would ruin my standing with my in-laws.

In a rage, I returned home to argue with my parents but was chased out by my mother and brother, only to get hit by a car and die.

In my past life, I was a pushover, allowing my family to take advantage of me to the fullest. This time, I would make them pay for it.

[Lara, Chloe, have you gotten your salaries this month?] My mother tagged my sister and me in the family WhatsApp group.

I glanced at it, not wanting to reply. Today was the day when my sister and I had to give money to our mother, as we did every month.

Every month after we got our salaries, my mother would ask us in the group, hinting for us to hand over money, like clockwork.

My sister and I had worked part-time during college to pay for our tuition and handed over all our salaries to our mother after graduation. After marriage, we no longer handed over our salaries but had to provide monthly allowances to support the family.

Ridiculous. Why should I hand over the money? So that I can get beaten? No way, not this time.

I didn't respond, and surprisingly, my sister didn't either.
