More than 30 minutes had passed before the police and rescue workers arrived at the scene because the rain was still falling heavily, causing the journey to be delayed more than usual. The owners of the three cars that had been waiting for the officers earlier hurriedly got out of their cars with umbrellas to tell the police the truth about what had happened, saying that the cars involved in the accident were probably unfamiliar with the route and were traveling at high speed.
After the police listened to the three good Samaritans' testimonies, they let them leave the scene after asking for their phone numbers in case they needed to provide more testimonies. Not long after, rescue workers removed Zhu Qing'an's body from the car. Several officers checked inside the car and found that the deceased's phone was still working, but the screen was cracked. They then looked up the last known phone number to inform her relatives that she had died.
[ Hello, I wonder if you are a relative of the owner of the phone .]
[ No, I'm her boss. I don't know who called .]
[ I am a rescue worker in Lianghe City. The owner of the phone died in an accident. Please help contact his relatives to come and claim the body .]
[ What !!! ]
[ I said she died in an accident. Please contact her relatives in Lianghe to come and claim her body .]
The chief was stunned for a long time before tears welled up in his eyes in grief. He had never thought that sending her on this mission would actually cause Zhu Qing'an to die.
[ She has no relatives. Please help me take care of the body first. I will inform the company first and will travel there tomorrow. ]
[ Okay. If you arrive, please call me at ****** . I will go and wait for you at the morgue of Lianghe City Hospital .]
[ thank you very much ]
[ It's okay. Anyway, I would like to express my condolences. Goodbye. ]
[ Yes, hello .]
The manager hung up the phone with tears streaming down his face, feeling sorry for a talented girl like Zhu Qing'an. It took him half an hour to come to terms with it. Then he called the HR department to tell them the whole story. Before the next day, his colleagues in the company heard about Zhu Qing'an's death. They couldn't help but feel sorry for someone as hard-working as her. No matter who asked her to help, Zhu Qing'an never refused. Until today, when she left and never returned, her colleagues were all sad. The department heads and executives who knew about her abilities were just as sad.
The next day, the department heads met with the executives to set guidelines so that employees would not work too hard and have unexpected accidents like Zhu Qing'an. After the meeting, the marketing department head and the HR department head went to represent the company to pick up her body from Lianghe City.
A few of Zhu Qing'an's close colleagues volunteered to collect her belongings from her condo to prepare for the funeral, which the company would host throughout the entire event until the burial was complete.
While her fellow employees were preparing Zhu Qing'an's clothes and belongings, one of the friends who went with her found Zhu Qing'an's will. She quickly showed it to her other friends before keeping it to report to the department head so that he could carry out Zhu Qing'an's last wishes.
The God of Fate saw the good in Zhu Qing'an, so he moved her soul to another world where she had a complete family, as she had wished since she was a child. Although this family was a bit poor, the love and harmony of the family members were suitable for Zhu Qing'an to live a happy life.
In a new world
Zhu Qing'an, who was lying unconscious after having just experienced death, now felt pain all over her body. She also had a strange dream that there was a girl who looked like her when she was a child, who had to live a difficult life because of her grandmother since she could remember. Zhu Qing'an felt so sorry for the child. She looked at the dream-like memories until the girl died tragically. Zhu Qing'an could only pray that the child would go to a good place. But the girl asked her to help take care of the family instead of herself. Zhu Qing'an did not know why the child wanted her to help like that, but she willingly agreed to the child's request. Before the girl thanked her and disappeared from her dream after that.
" I said you guys are the losers ! What else do you want to ask for ?!"
" Sob … Mother, I beg you, sob … My daughter is really sick. I want to take her to see a doctor. My elder brother is hunting now. I don't have a single cent of money with me. Please, Mother, have mercy on me."
" Hey !!! That's your secondary family's business. What does it have to do with my money ?!"
" Sob… Grandma, Big Brother is really sick. The money that Father earns is with Grandma. If Grandma doesn't give us money to take Big Brother to see a doctor, where are we going to get money?"
" Sob… Grandmother, I beg you… Please help Big Brother …"
" Dream on. That woman is a loser. Why would I waste my money because of her? You guys should hurry up and get back to work. You're really wasting my time, huh !"
Daughter-in-law Lin, Zhu Qingcheng, and Zhu Qingyang hugged Old Lady Zhu's legs before she left the house to gossip with the villagers like she always did.
" Let me go, you crazy people !!!"
Smack ! Bang ! Thud !
Old Lady Zhu beat the three of them with her cane without holding back. She was annoyed by her second daughter-in-law and her twin sons who kept on bothering her, so she didn't want to hold back anymore. When Daughter-in-law Lin saw her son being beaten so hard that he fell to the ground, she could only rush over to block them. Seeing how much Old Lady Zhu loved her son, she felt even more annoyed. She kept beating them without stopping easily. The twin boys' screams of pain and shock could be heard throughout the courtyard. The neighbors saw these things all the time and didn't know how to help them. Old Lady Zhu always claimed that this was a family matter. The villagers could only watch them being bullied every day. Even Old Lady Zhu's son, who knew the truth, didn't dare to speak up. How could the neighbors dare to interfere in this matter?
The commotion outside slowly brought Zhu Qing'an back to her senses. She struggled to open her eyes because of the fever. The first thing she saw was a clay ceiling that looked like an ancient house in the countryside thousands of years ago. Zhu Qing'an felt a headache again as the images of her previous dreams flashed through her mind. After reviewing her memories, Zhu Qing'an took a deep breath. She was now certain that she had entered the body of that child and she had even promised to take care of the family in that child's place. Zhu Qing'an listened to the noise outside and realized that her cruel grandmother was probably beating her mother and twin brother. Zhu Qing'an was now weak. She could only listen to her mother and siblings' painful cries and repeated pleas for money to take her to see a doctor. Zhu Qing'an was so sad that tears fell down. She prayed that the three of them would stop begging her grandmother so that they wouldn't get hurt. But unfortunately, the three of them didn't know about her prayer. It wasn't until the noise outside that one of her younger brothers ran in and placed his small hand on her forehead to take her temperature.
" Big Brother, how are you?" Zhu Qingcheng asked her.
" Cough cough, I'm feeling better now. You don't have to beg Grandma anymore, you know?" Zhu Qing'an replied weakly.
" Sob … I didn't think Grandma would be this cruel to us. That money was hard-earned by Father. Now that Big Brother is seriously ill, Grandma still refuses to take it out. Sob…"
" Don't cry… You are the eldest brother in the family, you have to be strong, you know?" Zhu Qing'an wanted to comfort her younger brother more, but she was heartbroken that she could not get up from her weak body.
" Sob … Okay, big brother. I won't cry anymore. I'll go get some rice porridge to feed you."
" Um… Thank you very much, Ah Cheng."
