Lily Robert's husband, Henry William, brought home a baby, claiming it was his son.

Olivia William, upon seeing her grandson, had a big smile on her face that she couldn't close.

She wouldn't forget to taunt Lily, "Lily, you've been married for ten years and yet, you've not given our family a son or a daughter. Henry hasn't divorced you yet, you should be happy about that,"

She continued, "You should take good care of my grandson going forward. If he cries or is hungry, just wait and see how I deal with you."

Lily's gaze fell upon the child in Henry's arms.

Looking at the face that resembled Henry partly, she felt a heart-wrenching pain that was so intense she couldn't breathe: "Henry, let's divorce."

When Henry initially pushed the medical examination report into her hands and told her that she couldn't have children, Lily suggested a divorce.

Henry didn't agree.

He reassured her, claiming that her condition was curable and they would definitely have a child.

Over these years, all in an effort to have Henry's child, Lily was busy running her business on one hand and on the other, she was seeking medical advice and treatment everywhere.

She had been drinking the bitter traditional medicines three times a day, without fail.

Her buttocks were full of injection marks, causing her piercing pain with each step.

Whenever Lily thought about the hardships she endured trying to have a baby,

It disgusted her to know that Henry was cavorting with other women in bed during this time.

The moment Henry heard that Lily wanted a divorce, he was in panic.

Henry exclaimed, "Lily, is it necessary? I will take care of the child's birth mother so she won't be an eyesore to you. Can't you even tolerate this child? Are you satisfied with watching our lineage end?”

Olivia also scoffed at Lily, "You ungrateful wretch! My son runs a company as the boss, everyone calls him the Chairman. If he divorces you, there are heaps of young and pretty women waiting to marry him."

Lily paused in packing her bags, almost breaking out in laughter.

As for business, Henry was nothing more than a failure.

Everything he touched went wrong.

If it weren't for her constant financial support, Henry wouldn't have been able to run any company.

He spent her money on other women while expecting her to raise their son.

If she really agreed, then that would be the definition of despicable.

After packing her luggage, she spat out at Henry who was blocking her way, "Get lost."

Olivia William glared at Henry, "Let her leave. I want to see who would want a barren woman like her."

Lily pushed Henry aside and headed straight down the stairs.

Jane William, who had been in the room, suddenly burst out and fiercely pushed Lily, "You're nothing more than a nanny in our family, yet you dare speak to my brother and my mother like this!"

Caught off guard, Lily lost her footing and tumbled down the stairs.

...

Lily lifted her heavy eyelids, the scene before her taking her aback.

Dirt walls surrounded her, the windows were covered by paper, and a wooden door creaked with each gust of wind.

This place is...

Her grandmother's house!

Lily jolted upright, hearing Olivia talking to Hilda in the yard.

Olivia: "Betrothal gifts... I really can't afford them right now. How about we make up for it after the baby is born?"

In a flash, Lily realized.

She had reincarnated.

She had returned to November of 1978, a month before she and Henry were married.

In her last life at this time, Olivia suddenly approached Hilda, saying that her house needed renovations.

The promised betrothal gift of 100 dollars, she couldn't provide.

The new bed and cabinet they'd agreed on...

Because Henry's little sister Jane, who had just graduated high school, was back, they'd give them to her first.

But, Lily's dowry couldn't be a penny less.

It would be best if they added another quilt as a meeting gift for Jane.

After listening, Hilda was somewhat reluctant.

But thinking that as long as the family treated Lily well, everything was negotiable, so she agreed.

Unexpectedly, lily's family's concession did not earn respect from Henry's family.

On the contrary, it led Olivia to boast everywhere that Lily was eager to marry Henry even if it meant no dowry.

Members of the collective farming team in the country side whispered about this behind their backs. They said that Lily must be addicted due to one-year dating with Henry, unable to leave men alone.

Otherwise, why would Lily still want to marry into the William's family even knowing they looked down upon her?

The memory of her past life flashed through Lily's mind one by one.

Lily took a deep breath, clenched her fists silently.

The chance to live once again was given to her by God.

In this life, under no circumstance would she repeat the same mistake and be humiliated by Henry's family again.

Outside the house, Hilda understood the intent of Olivia's visit, and her eyebrows furrowed: "Are you from the William's family planning to take Lily away without giving a penny?"

Olivia: "Oh dear, Hilda, you speak too harshly. Our family is just in difficulty, so we came to discuss with you."

"Besides, Lily and Henry have been dating for over a year. Everyone in the country side knows about their good relationship. Being able to marry my son, it's Lily's good fortune. As for the bride price and other minor issues, Lily definitely wouldn't mind."

Olivia's mention of this left Hilda speechless in an instant.

She had calculated this precisely. If Lily did not agree to marry Henry, no one else would be willing to marry her. That's why she dared to make these demands.

Hilda felt her vitality leave her.

She opened her mouth: "Since your family is having difficulties, then..."

"Then don't get married." Lily pushed open the door and walked out.

Olivia thought she must have misheard: "What did you say?"

As soon as Lily saw Olivia's face, the humiliation and pain from the past surged in her heart.

She held her anger and replied: "I said, if your family can't afford a wife, then just don't get one. I, Lily Robert can marry someone other than Henry. Let's leave this fortune to others."

Hilda was taken aback: "Lily, have you lost your mind? You are getting married in a month, how can you not get married?"

Olivia sneered.

Was Lily threatening her?

She is already arguing with her future mother-in-law before the wedding.

What would happen after the marriage?

Olivia wanted to teach Lily a lesson. She put her hands on her hips and started berating Lily.

Olivia: "Not getting married? I would like to see who else would want you, a bastard without parents, other than my son Henry!"

Hilda's face changed abruptly as she got up sharply, "Olivia, what are you talking about!"

Olivia: "Your daughter got pregnant before marriage, and no one knows who the man is. Who in the country side know about the child she gave birth to?"

"I disagreed when Henry tried to court Lily. I said there's something wrong with Lily's family's values. Now, my accusations have come true."

Olivia's loud voice quickly attracted the attention of passing members.

Seeing the crowd growing, Olivia became even more aggressive in her scolding.

She accused Hilda of selling Lily.

Despite her old age, she was still greedy for wealth, demanding an exorbitant dowry, having money to keep but no life to spend it.

When Lily heard this, her face changed instantly.

With a raise of her hand, she slapped Olivia in the face.

A crisp "smack" echoed around.

Lily glared at Olivia: "If you dare curse my grandmother again, I will kill you right now!"
