“Your Third Brother is really heartless. He had forgotten how I treated him when he was a child. At that time, every household did not have enough food. I dug tree roots, chewed tree bark, and fed him milk mixed with blood.”
“Now, for a little wh*re and the money-losing product born by the little wh*re, he doesn’t even want me, his own mother.” (T/N: How could mother-in-law call their daughter-in-law a wh*re? Tsk, what a mother-in-law!)
When Miao Fengmei thought of her son’s determined back as he left, she fell to the ground in anger. Half a day had passed, but she still hadn’t recovered.
She really looked down on Xie Wu and her mother.
That daughter-in-law was not the one she wanted in the first place. She was born into a rich peasant family and was a bad seed. Her promising son should have been worthy of a better woman.
Not to mention that this daughter-in-law had only given her an unpleasant granddaughter in more than ten years, which made Miao Fengmei dislike her even more.
Of course, all of the above were excuses for Miao Fengmei to comfort herself. Whenever she thought of these, she felt that her partiality was justified.
“Mom, my Third Brother is not filial to you, but I am. When I pass the college entrance examination in the future, I will definitely bring you to the city and let you live a life of luxury.”
Every word of the old lady’s words fell into Xie Xiuzhu’s heart.
Her Third Brother was really heartless. He was so rich and powerful in his previous life, but he was unwilling to help her, his own sister, to use his connections to arrange a job with little work and high pay.
Even when their mother fell ill, he forced the poor relatives from his hometown to share the money, even though he had the money to pay.
What made Xie Xiuzhu even more resentful was her niece Xie Wu, who was born on the same day and year as her.
Before Xie Changzheng retired and transferred to the local area, the other party was her maid, who ate the family’s leftovers and had to help her wash clothes and tidy up her small room.
But after Xie Changzheng came back, the other party had transformed into a city dweller and the daughter of the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau.
Not only did she return to school, but she also wore beautiful clothes that she didn’t even have, and ate imported foreign candies, turning from an ugly duckling into a white swan.
It was obvious that the girl was as stupid as a pig, and even after returning to school, her grades were only below average. But the Third Brother still felt that this girl was good in every way and looked down on herself who had excellent grades.
It was obvious that the girl had no self-respect and was always shamelessly chasing after a man, but after that man married another woman, she was still able to get a husband who only cared about her in his heart and eyes and didn’t care about her past, while her little aunt, who was once better than her in every way, could only marry a mediocre man and live a mediocre life.
Xie Xiuzhu felt that this world was too unfair.
After her rebirth, she once thought about strangling Xie Wu in the cradle. However, on the one hand, she had never killed anyone and could not bear to do it; on the other hand, she was unwilling to see Xie Wu die so easily.
She also wanted her to see her rise to prominence and surpass their family, and feel the humiliation and embarrassment of her previous life.
If she let her die easily, it seemed that she had let down the opportunity of this rebirth.
However, as the time for Xie Changzheng, the Third Brother, to retire approached, Xie Xiuzhu became more and more uneasy.
After thinking about it for a while, she made up her mind to find an opportunity to get rid of Xie Wu.
It was exactly Xie Xiuzhu’s plan to let Xie Wu go to the hillside to pick barberry that day.
She had observed that area. The place where the barberry grew was on a slope. The stone soil was loose, and one would easily slip on it if one was not careful.
Moreover, the day before, Xie Xiuzhu had just forced Xie Wu to wash two basins of clothes with cold water and then woke her up early in the morning. It was difficult for her to concentrate when she was cold and sleepy.
It just happened that it rained a few days ago, so the soil in the mountains was slippery, which increased the chance of slipping.
This plan also had a certain possibility of failure. Xie Xiuzhu gave Xie Wu a chance. If she could escape this disaster, she would spare her life so that she could watch her move step by step toward a height that she could never reach. (T/N: Oh my, are you a God, so you can easily kill or give a chance to someone?)
If the plan succeeded, it was also destined. After all, she had given her a chance, but she didn’t seize it.
When seeing Xie Wu’s miserable condition, Xie Xiuzhu felt a little scared in her heart, but soon, a sense of pleasure occupied her chest.
Looking at her niece who was high and mighty in the previous life now lying on the bed like a dead dog, dying, Xie Xiuzhu felt that half of her obsession seemed to have disappeared.
If Xie Wu died, she would let Xie Changzheng and his wife go. After all, without Xie Wu, Xie Changzheng would definitely be the good brother who devoted himself to the big family.
Before she grew up, Xie Changzheng, the brother who was about to become the deputy director of the county public security bureau, would also be a great help to her.
She planned everything very well, but she didn’t expect Xie Changzheng to come back before the scheduled time. Also, faced with her daughter’s serious injury, the Third Sister-in-law suddenly became tough and took the girl to the county hospital. She didn’t know whether she could save the girl’s life.
Xie Xiuzhu was a little depressed. She felt that she might have made a bad move.
Now her Third Brother had already turned away from them. The only thing she could do now was to win him back before he became completely disappointed in them.

Lucien On ABRWF Chapter 66.1
When she grew up around selfish people, raised as spoiled rotten vain self-centered girl, and ignored all the wise teaching of sage, saints, and life itself because she (probably) think it’s irrelevant… It’s more easy to understand where all her malice come from.
Nevertheless, it’s still shocking how much malice, hatred, and resentment she felt to the point of proceeding with her malicious plans JUST BECAUSE XCZ took care of HIS OWN DAUGHTER and ignored the people who had exploited him and his family for years. She really believe that all his earning and benefits were rightfully hers, being served by his wife is what she deserves, and using his daughter as his maid is perfectly natural. It’s their blessings to be exploited by her and her malicious deeds were just her meting justice for “how dare they not want to be exploited by her and even live better life than her?”
In short, she’s the very depiction of evil slaves owner. She might be taught to hate the evil of feodalisme and slavery. But, what she did clearly treating him and his family as her slaves.
