Do you know what a person thinks about when they are about to die?
The gun barrel pressed against the back of my head, and the sound of the gun bolt being pulled echoed in my ears like thunder, causing my brain to ache. In that moment, I regretted it—I regretted accepting a crime I had not committed in a state of despair!
The gun fired at the back of my head, and my soul drifted aimlessly in the air. I saw myself with a large hole in my forehead, brain matter and blood mixed with fragments of skull spraying out…
I woke up in a cold sweat. After using the bathroom, I returned to find that my wife, Jiang Xiaoli, had already packed her bags and disappeared along with our daughter. I went to check my daughter’s room, and the small bed was empty as well.
Just like in my previous life, Jiang Xiaoli had eloped with that man, but this time, I felt neither joy nor sorrow. Because I had been reborn!
—Aside from life and death, does anything else truly matter?
In my previous life, my wife Jiang Xiaoli filed for divorce, claiming that I neglected the family and did not care for our daughter. She presented evidence of her working outside to prove her independence and accused me of failing to fulfill my financial responsibilities. She demanded a divorce and custody of our child while insisting that I leave without any assets and forbidding me from visiting our child.
I had been working away from home. I don’t smoke or drink, nor do I socialize with other workers like many do with women around construction sites. I earned 8,000 a month, and even though she worked at a factory in Annan, I consistently transferred 7,500 yuan to her and our daughter every month.
Why did I work so hard? It was for her and our daughter to live a better life!
I desperately wanted to keep them with me. The judge did not issue an immediate ruling, yet she left with our daughter right after.
The man who left with Jiang Xiaoli was someone who not only made me lose face in the village but also brought shame upon them both. What I found hardest to accept was that the daughter I cherished so dearly was actually born of Jiang Xiaoli and that man.
In my past life, I was a failure—a cowardly man. In this life, even if I am still Wu Dalang unable to win Pan Jinlian’s heart, I will never bow down to them.
In this life, Jiang Xiaoli has once again filed for divorce. The reason remains the same: I neglect the family and do not care for the child. She wants me to leave without anything, forbidding me from seeing the child while demanding child support…
I agreed to the divorce and accepted not seeing the child, but I insisted on one thing: everything in this house is a result of my contributions; there is no way I will leave empty-handed! If she wants child support, she can bring proof of paternity regarding the child—if the paternity test is clear, then whatever amount of support she asks for, I will accept!
She disagreed? Then let’s just drag this out.
You can't move the house anyway.
Later, that man pretended to advise me, saying, "Brother, since she’s already like this, why not just divorce her? Holding on doesn’t do you any good! Even though the child doesn’t take your surname anymore, she’s still your child..."
Now, Jiang Xiaoli has left with our daughter, even before we officially divorced. Legally, we are still husband and wife. But in reality, she has become my sister-in-law!
In my previous life, I went into debt and sold my house just to find her and her daughter... After her death, I was deemed the murderer!
In this life, I have no intention of searching for her; I just hope her death won’t make me bear the blame again.
