"Yangyang, we are now a family, and family members should support each other, right? You say Zirui finally managed to get a girlfriend; we can't ruin it just because of a car, right?"

Opening my eyes again, my father-in-law earnestly advised me to use my dowry to buy a car for my younger brother-in-law.

I looked at the Lin family sitting in the living room, desperately suppressing my anger.

"That's right, when we married you, we used all the money to buy a house. Now it's Zirui's turn, and you two can't ignore it."

My mother-in-law echoed my father-in-law's words and turned to my newlywed husband, Lin Zihang, giving him a signal.

"Yangyang, just give the money and let Zirui buy a car to get by. When girls see that he has a car, the first step will be accomplished."

In my previous life, when I heard these words, I decisively refused, which led the Lin family to unite against me and put me in a difficult situation.

Now, I nodded and agreed, "I have money saved in a fixed deposit. I'll go withdraw it on Monday."

Lin Zihang was taken aback, seemingly surprised by how readily I agreed, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat.

My father-in-law, Lin Tiejun, happily praised me as a good daughter-in-law after hearing that, while my mother-in-law, Zhang Caimei, waved her hand and said, "Today, we're going to a restaurant. I don't want my capable daughter-in-law to cook every day."

"Prepare more delicious food for your sister-in-law later. Pregnant women need more nourishment."

My younger brother-in-law, Lin Zirui, unusually uttered sensible words and even made a gesture to come and support me.

As for my husband, Lin Zihang, he hugged me and kissed me twice, saying, "Yangyang, I knew I didn't choose the wrong person."

He didn't choose the wrong person; it was me, Fu Yang, who had lost her sight.

Because I had already died once, on the twenty-fifth day after giving birth to our child.

Lin Zihang and I were college classmates. After dating for five years, considering the pressure on his family with two younger brothers, I decided not to ask for dowry and just get registered with him.

Before that, Lin Zihang told me that his family had already bought a house for him, so I should be understanding about not receiving dowry.

A few days after we got registered, I found out that I was pregnant. It should have been a happy occasion, but my in-laws used it as a reason to cancel the wedding, saying that getting married while pregnant would be bad for the child and could lead to clashes.

If I insisted on having the wedding, I would need to bring a dowry of 128,000 yuan to ward off disasters, which my parents naturally wouldn't agree to since there was no dowry in the first place.

I asked Lin Zihang if he still wanted to proceed. If not, we could get a divorce.

That night, he knelt down and cried, begging me not to divorce him for the sake of the child.

Lin Zihang had a strong sense of pride, and during our dating period, he had always been accommodating to me. I had never seen him so submissive.

They say a man's knees are made of gold, and at that moment, I thought he must love me so much to act this way. I softened my heart and agreed not to divorce.

The wedding was held as scheduled, but I didn't ask my parents for the money they were planning to give. After my in-laws found out, they started treating me poorly, saying that since the groom provided the house, the bride should at least buy a car. They had never seen such audacious in-laws.

The house was bought by Lin Zihang before the wedding, and I didn't complain when we started repaying the mortgage together. Now, they were even insulting my parents. I immediately argued with Lin Zihang.

Lin Zihang told me not to take it to heart and I don't know what he said to his parents, but they immediately became happy. Later, I found out that my bedmate had secretly checked my bank account balance and knew I had money.

Two months into the marriage, dueto the pressure from my in-laws and my husband's indifference towards me, I fell into depression.

One day, my father-in-law brought up the topic of buying a car for my younger brother-in-law, Lin Zirui. In my previous life, I had refused, which resulted in a strained relationship with my in-laws. This time, I decided to agree to their request.

On Monday, I went to the bank and withdrew the money from my fixed deposit. It was the savings I had accumulated over the years, and I had planned to use it for emergencies or future plans. Now, it was going to be spent on a car for my brother-in-law.

When I returned home, I handed the money to my father-in-law, who was overjoyed. The Lin family praised me for being a good daughter-in-law, and my mother-in-law insisted on taking us all out to eat at a restaurant.

During the meal, my mother-in-law emphasized the need for me to take care of myself since I was pregnant. Even my younger brother-in-law, Lin Zirui, expressed his support for me. Lin Zihang, my husband, was grateful and affectionate towards me, saying that he knew he made the right choice in marrying me.

However, I couldn't help but feel a sense of bitterness. I had given up my own dreams and aspirations to accommodate my husband and his family. I had sacrificed my own happiness for the sake of our child. But deep down, I knew that this wasn't the life I wanted.

A few months later, I gave birth to our child, but my health deteriorated rapidly. On the twenty-fifth day after giving birth, I passed away.

Now, as I reflected on my past life, the bitterness and resentment resurfaced. I had lost myself in the process of trying to please everyone else. I had allowed myself to be taken advantage of and neglected.

In this new life, I vowed to prioritize my own happiness and well-being. I wouldn't let anyone dictate my choices or sacrifice my own dreams for the sake of others. I would stand up for myself and create a life that I truly desired.

As I held my newborn child in my arms, I made a silent promise to be a strong and independent mother, ensuring that my child would grow up in a loving and supportive environment.

Life had given me a second chance, and this time, I would make it count.
