Jing Shu genuinely admired this fact: people won’t fight back unless pushed to the brink. As long as they have something to eat, they generally don’t cause trouble. Making them work endlessly without starving but living miserably is the greatest punishment for such people.
Sun Yinrui must hate Jing Shu to the core. His wife now wished she could claw Su Mei Mei to death. After calming down, she would probably transfer some of her hatred onto Jing Shu. After all, she was a girl they’d watched grow up; how dare she testify against their entire family?
But Jing Shu figured they wouldn’t have time to cause trouble for a while. Instead, her aunt Su Mei Mei, just like in her previous life, brought her whole family to storm the villa. This familiar scene reappeared ten years earlier, giving the somewhat frustrated Jing Shu an outlet to vent.
Jing Shu’s frustration stemmed from her mother.
After her parents moved from the city, the first thing her mother did was inspect every nook and cranny, surveying her own territory and understanding how many possessions they had.
Seeing the fishpond and the vegetable garden beside it, she praised them. Noticing the thoughtful design of the boiler room, she commended Jing Shu even more; her mother had a cold constitution and feared the cold, worried that houses in Wucheng wouldn’t be warm enough.
Her mother was the type who wanted to grow some flowers for leisure but couldn’t even keep photos alive. So the renovations to the kitchen and conservatory greatly pleased her.
But when she saw the large terrace occupied by four huge water tanks and covered with solar panels, she couldn’t help but comment:
“You spendthrift! Are you lacking water or drinks? What’s the point of placing these ugly water tanks here? And what’s with these densely packed, reflective water heaters? Why waste money buying these things?”
Jing Shu had to make up an excuse: “Isn’t this learning from America’s self-sufficient solar power and water filtration systems? If we did the same as domestic rich kids, who would watch? The country has been promoting energy conservation recently. This set of equipment has received a fantastic response online, attracting more people.”
Her mother noticed the pile of snacks like a mountain; Jing Shu said they were gifts from fans. She also saw a heap of tents and outdoor equipment; Jing Shu said she was planning an event to go outdoors with her fans.
Seeing a room full of shampoo, sanitary pads, toilet paper, and such, she couldn’t stand it: “These are also from fans? Tell me where to buy such wonderful fans; not only can they be used in hot pots, but they also send enough supplies to last ten years!”
Jing Shu: “…”
“Show me your shopping list; I want to see where you’ve spent the money.”
“Buying vegetables, rice, flour, oil, seasonings, solar panels, water tanks, central air conditioning, refrigerators, dishwashers, appliances… 60 rabbits, 70 chickens, 300 quails, 2 pigs… The money adds up. So, are you saying these were bought by your fans?”
…
So when her aunt came bringing people again, Jing Shu could no longer suppress the raging force within her. After drinking the spiritual spring water for over 20 days, Jing Shu’s speed and strength had long surpassed that of an adult male. She had long wanted to test the results; as long as the other side dared to make a move, she wouldn’t hesitate to beat them until they were disabled. Otherwise, she couldn’t swallow this anger.
Unfortunately, after half a day, it turned out that Su Mei Mei was forced to come, along with her husband Zhang Zhongyong, her parents-in-law, and her brother-in-law. Each of them looked unfriendly, especially Zhang Zhongyong, who personally held the bruised and battered Su Mei Mei.
“It’s exactly the same as in my previous life, just missing a few people.” Jing Shu’s fists clenched tightly, repeatedly telling herself to stay calm.
“Jing Shu, my dear niece, quickly tells them that your aunt didn’t cheat, and I didn’t have any affair! This is a setup! You must have been bribed, right? You’re trying to kill me! My dear sister, please talk to Jing Shu. She testified to outsiders that I had an affair with Sun Yinrui. Boohoo…”
Su Mei Mei cried miserably; her hair was disheveled, and one could see footprints on her body.
Jing’s father blocked them outside the villa gate. Jing’s mother was utterly confused, and Jing Shu expressionlessly took out the evidence collected by Heng Jin, explaining Sun Yinrui’s corruption and crimes.
“That’s how it is. I just testified. Sun Yinrui committed crimes and offended people. When they investigated, they uncovered his affair with Aunt. The court even recovered the 300,000 yuan of bribery and embezzled money that Sun Yinrui gave her.”
Jing’s father and mother stared at Su Mei Mei in shock. They finally realized what kind of scumbag Sun Yinrui was, and then learned that their sister-in-law/younger sister had gotten involved with this scumbag and even took his dirty money.
Su Mei Mei kept denying while struggling to break free from Zhang Zhongyong’s grip to scratch Jing Shu, but Zhang Zhongyong slapped her twice, silencing her.
Su Mei Mei didn’t expect her usually quiet niece to reveal everything, even exposing the money. That despicable woman, Yang Yunyun had come knocking, only saying that someone had found evidence against the adulterous pair, mentioning that her niece Jing Shu had testified.
Seeing Sun Yinrui’s downfall, Su Mei Mei had to rely on Zhang Zhongyong, so she denied cheating and said they could ask Jing Shu as a witness. She must have been bribed. With Su Lanzhi around, she wouldn’t suffer a loss. After all, they were family; how could they help outsiders?
Who knew…
Tears streamed down Jing’s mother’s face on the spot. “Leave. I don’t have a sister like you!”
Jing’s mother pointed at Su Mei Mei with a trembling hand, saying, “He had money but deliberately didn’t repay us; you had money but refused to lend it. Fine, very good! We sold our car to raise money, and you two conspired—one wouldn’t repay, the other immediately came to take advantage… Su Mei Mei, from now on, we are severing all ties. Get out!”
Jing’s mother cried hysterically, using all her strength on the last word. Jing’s father supported her as they began to drive the others away.
Seeing Su Mei Mei gnashing her teeth and glaring with hatred, Jing Shu smiled with satisfaction.
“Such a woman deserves severe punishment. Son, don’t rush to divorce.”
“Divorce? It won’t be that easy for her.” Zhang Zhongyong dragged the dazed Su Mei Mei by the hair into the car. The family drove away.
“Debts from the past life are repaid in this life.” Jing Shu softly said as she watched the car, “None of you will escape this time.”
“Hurry inside and close the door!” Jing’s father’s voice sounded.
“Coming.”

On December 15, 2022, the Central Meteorological Observatory issued a red alert, predicting that on December 31, planets would collide, causing a large amount of dust to mix into the atmosphere, blocking sunlight. The Earth would be in a dim state rather than complete darkness.
The reduced sunlight would have a massive impact on the survival of plants and animals. Although crop yields would decrease, it wouldn’t affect them too much. Even if there were no harvest, China’s grain reserves would be enough to last three years, and so on. This statement was quite true; at critical moments, they could always bring out something to prevent starvation.
“The Earth’s dark days will last for 30 to 40 days, accompanied by large amounts of dust. We urge the public to prepare appropriate grain reserves and take precautions when going out. The elderly, weak, sick, and disabled should reduce outings. Except for primary schools and kindergartens suspending classes, all other work continues as normal.”
