Upon hearing the news, Yan Zi's eyes were full of disbelief. She grabbed the third brother's arm tightly and said, "Tomorrow... the burial... He was fine a few days ago. It's all because of..." She glanced towards the main house and swallowed the words.

The room was not soundproof to begin with, so the conversation was clearly heard. The old lady yelled in her own room, "You little bitch, why didn't you finish your words? You gave birth to such a thing, who can you blame? I am doing this for the good of the family. You are still pregnant, so don't go tomorrow."

Regardless of her own health, Yan Zi got off the kang and went straight to the old lady's room. She knelt on the ground and begged, "Mother, please let me go. Ni'er is the flesh that fell from my body. I want to go and see her off for the last time."

Fearing that the pregnant woman would be too excited and affect the fetus, the old lady reluctantly agreed to let Niu Zhang go with them tomorrow.

The sky is bright.

The old lady of the Niu family, the third son of the Niu family and his wife went to Lijia Village not far away.

A white lantern with the word "葬" (die in Chinese) written on it has been hung at the door of Li Goudan's house.

People in the village could hardly read, and they thought that the person who had a lantern with words hanging at the door was not an ordinary person.

I heard some rumors on the way, but they were all stopped by the old lady's eyes.

Goudan's mother saw the Niu family and their group heading this way at a glance.

He was so guilty that he had to pretend that he had suffered a great loss.

"Today is a big day for our family, so I won't bother with you. Letting that girl be buried with my son is also giving her face."

The old lady was very angry. Although she had hurt her head, she would not lose her life instantly.

But since my granddaughter has a bad reputation, it’s hard to say for sure.

"Mom~My brother~" Li Goudan's sister Li Chunhua rushed to her parents' home since receiving the letter, and finally returned on the day of the burial.

Li Chunhua's tears dripped down, causing Goudan's mother, who had just stopped crying, to cry again. The mother and daughter hugged each other, and an atmosphere of grief enveloped the entire Li family.

Following the funeral procession, the two families went up the mountain at the same time.

It was early spring, and the wind was chilly. The grass had not yet sprouted. A few strands of tender green weeds swayed in the wind among the withered yellow grass, as if they were hands beckoning the dead. A group of people walked on the path, and the wind blowing on their bodies cut their faces like a knife.

Some people in the team were whispering, and Yan Zi happened to hear it. When she heard that it was her daughter Niu Xiaonik who had killed Li Goudan, she felt even more upset.

According to the rules, one has to say goodbye to the deceased before closing the coffin. The three members of the Niu family gathered around the coffin and took a look at it, but before they could take a closer look, the Li family immediately closed the coffin.

Although Xiao Ni'er's mother had attended the funerals of her elders before, she felt that there was something indescribably strange about this burial.

Although the smell of corruption had been covered up, because I was pregnant and my nose was extremely sensitive, I still smelled a hint of unusual scent.

But Yan Zi didn't think much about it. She just took a glance and saw that the clothes Ni'er was wearing were better than when she was alive. She couldn't help but shed tears.

At the moment when the coffin was about to close, there was a loud thunder. Everyone was startled by the sound and many people sat down on the ground.

The several strong young men who were carrying the coffin lid were so frightened that they dropped their hands, and various utensils used for the ceremony lay scattered on the ground.

Goudan's mother was already feeling guilty, so she ran the fastest. However, everyone was running so fast that no one paid attention to this side.

The thunder did not stop, but instead tended to intensify. A bolt of lightning struck the coffin, and the sound gradually disappeared. A few magpies flew over from the distance, landed on the coffin and chirped. One of them put the flower in its mouth on Niu Xiaoni.

Many people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands, and a few people ran down the mountain directly. Fortunately, there were no casualties.

Goudan's mother was so frightened that she was out of her mind. She kept muttering, "Don't come to me, don't come to me."

Li Chunhua felt a little strange to hear her mother say this, but she did not doubt it too much and just thought she was scared.

People in the village have always believed that this is a bird that brings good news. They think the magpie is a symbol of good fortune and luck, and that good things will definitely happen.

A few people bravely stood up, and the magpies were not afraid of people and did not fly away.

Seeing that the thunder had subsided and that the magpie was still nearby, Goudan's mother comforted herself that everything should be fine. She walked back, tidied up her messy hair, took a few deep breaths, and pretended to be calm.

Niu Xiaoni felt a white light entering her head and her head started to ache, as if she was being chopped by a knife or an axe. Her heart also started beating again.

I didn't have the strength to open my eyes, and my body felt as heavy as a thousand pounds. I couldn't move, and I could only perceive the surrounding environment through hearing.

It is only natural to take money to do the job. The funeral procession picked up the scattered utensils on the ground and put them back in place. The ceremony had to continue and the burial had to take place today.

A few magpies were still standing beside the coffin.

The villagers didn't dare to drive them away. They just stood there and watched, hoping that they would leave quickly and end the fight early so that they could go home.

"Why are you all standing there? Hurry up and close the coffin, or you'll miss the time."

Goudan's mother was worried that the longer she delayed, the more her actions would be exposed. As long as the coffin was closed, only God would know what she had done.

"But Goudan's mother, those magpies won't leave. If we forcefully drive them away, we'll get into trouble. This is a saying passed down from our ancestors, and no one wants to get into trouble."

One of the young men carrying the coffin lid looked around and saw that no one was moving, then explained with difficulty.

"I just don't believe this."

Goudan's mother went forward to drive away the magpie, but no matter how she tried, it fell back to where it was and could not be driven away.

After trying a few times, I sat on the ground exhausted, my messy hair hanging down in wisps, sweat running down my cheeks. I wiped it off with my hand, and the rest was blown dry by the cold wind.

Niu Xiaoni's strength gradually recovered. Her fingers regained feeling first, and her head was as muddled as a paste. Suddenly, somehow, she became clear-headed and remembered everything about her life, one by one, so clearly.

There are still many memories that do not belong to me, and I only heard a voice, "I can help you live your life again, are you willing?"

Niu Xiaoni was naturally willing. In her previous life, she was unwilling to get married and was drugged to death. She could not swallow this humiliation no matter what. How could she not seize such an opportunity?

He also has his own chubby father, a mother who is in poor health, a younger brother who always pesters him to play, and an unborn sibling in his mother's belly.

If they were not reborn, they would live their whole lives under the shadow of Old Lady Niu, having their blood sucked by others to support the aunt they had never met.

"I am willing."

After saying this, Niu Xiaoni felt full of strength, her eyelids were no longer heavy, she opened them quickly and sat up straight from the coffin.

Seeing his father and mother in the team, he cried sadly and shouted loudly: "Dad~ Mom~"
