For His Sister In-law, He Left Me and Let Our Son Died

It wasn't until the funeral the next day that I saw Matthew and Jennie again.

Jennie was wearing a red dress,smiling and talking with a child beside her and Matthew.No matter how you looked at it,they were like a happy family of three.

I looked at the red dress Jennie was wearing and pinched my palm until it bled.

At my son’s funeral,everyone was dressed in black,so solemn.But not only was Jennie wearing a red dress,even the child she had with Matthew was dressed in red.

If my mother-in-law,Kelly,didn’t care,that was one thing,but even Matthew didn’t care.

In his heart,there was no place for me or my son.Thinking of this,a sense of bitterness welled up in my heart,feeling sorry for my son.

I rushed forward,intending to drive them all out of my son’s funeral.But before I could approach,Jennie noticed my presence.

She curled her lips and said meaningfully,“Mother-in-law,I also want to move into the old house to live with you,but isn’t Sonya still living there now?”

“My brother in-law and Sonya’s son just died.My husband and I are so happy as a family of three,but I’m afraid it might offend her.Just yesterday,I almost didn’t get to see you.”

As she spoke,Jennie wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Kelly’s expression toward me suddenly turned angry and disgusted.

“You can move in.If that unlucky star has any objections,I'll kick her out!If it weren't for that unlucky star,my son wouldn't have died.As for the bastard she gave birth to,it's good that he's dead.Otherwise,he'd be competing with your little son for the family fortune.It's disgusting!”

She continued,“You and your son are so much more considerate than this unlucky star.You came to visit me and you even brought me this precious jade statue.That unlucky star and the beast she gave birth to can't compare to you two at all.”

She laughed happily.

I didn't feel anything unusual about her attitude.

When I first married Matthew,she looked down on me in every way.And because I didn't have a child in the first few years of our marriage,she secretly thought I was an infertile hen.

But even after I gave birth to a son,she didn't treat him any differently.Perhaps because she disliked me as a mother,she also came to despise her own grandson.

I recalled how my son timidly pulled on my sleeve and asked me,“Mom,does Grandma not like me?”

My heart felt as though it had been torn apart.

In the past,when Matthew was around,my mother-in-law wasn't this extreme,after all,Matthew would defend me.But now,Matthew's eyes and heart are filled with Jennie and that child.

My son and I had long been forgotten by him.

Thinking of this,I shouted angrily,“Get out!I won’t allow you to attend my son’s funeral!”

As soon as I finished speaking,Kelly suddenly stepped forward and slapped me across the face.

She glared at me with anger in her eyes,“Do you think you’re the only one who lost a son?You beast!You bring my family a lot of misfortune!Give us back our Matthew’s life!Why wasn’t it you who died instead!”

Before I could react,I saw the jade statue on her body.

“How did you get my mother's heirloom?”

I stared in disbelief.

That jade statue was my mother's heirloom.

When my son was three years old,I had already given it to him.I hoped it would protect him.

It should have gone with my son to the underworld.How could it be here?How could it be here?

I couldn't help but reach out toward Kelly.
