"Wife, come and have breakfast and try the cooking I learned especially for you."
Matthew, as always, gently and considerately brought breakfast and placed it gently in front of me.
Looking at his always gentle smile, I couldn't help but tremble all over.
Matthew is a live-in son-in-law. Since we got married, he has been taking care of my and my daughter's food, clothing, housing and transportation wholeheartedly.
Over the years, he has taken care of us mother and daughter meticulously, no matter how big or small the matter is.
My sisters all envy me for finding such a gentle, considerate and wonderful man, and I have always believed so.
However , I can still vividly remember the way he accused me of being a vicious woman who had abused my daughter in public. I never thought that he, who was always gentle and polite, could have such a twisted side.
"Wife, why are you daydreaming? Come and eat."
Matthew waved his hand in front of my eyes, bringing my thoughts back to reality.
I suppressed my inner doubts and indignation and sat down at the dining table.
Looking at my daughter sipping milk across from me, my eyes instantly became moist.
Just today, my daughter committed suicide by jumping off the building after finishing her meal and going to school.
When I rushed to the school, all I saw was my daughter's cold body.
I hugged her and cried until I almost fainted.
But the head teacher pointed at me and told me not to be hypocritical.
I was bewildered and didn't understand what was going on.
She said righteously that her daughter jumped off the building because I had been abusing her for a long time. She also said that her daughter had confessed that she would rather die than go home.
Just as I was confronting my head teacher, Matthew came rushing over from home.
I fully expected him to clear my name, but he just cursed me in public with red eyes.
"Ever since I married into your family, you've either beaten me or scolded me, never treating me like a human being."
"For my daughter, I endured all this."
"I told you that you can do whatever you want to me, but why do you do this to our daughter?"
"I've begged you countless times, why are you still pushing her to death?!"
Matthew spoke with tears in his eyes and accused me of various "atrocities" in public with great indignation.
They described me as a vicious woman who enjoyed abusing people all day. My explanation seemed so pale and powerless amid the contempt and scolding of the onlookers.
It was not until the forensic doctor came to identify the daughter's body that he revealed the dense scars on her body - new and old, all over her body.
The forensic doctor concluded at a glance that these injuries were caused by long-term abuse.
"Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs. This woman is worse than a beast!"
"People like this don't deserve a husband or children, let alone life!"
"Her daughter is so pitiful, having to deal with such a cruel and inhuman woman!"
"Letting people like this live for one more second is polluting the earth!"
Faced with overwhelming evidence and endless insults, some onlookers even threw garbage and stones at me, hoping to kill me on the spot.
Amidst the curses, I was handcuffed and taken to the police station.
For a while, words such as "vicious mother", "vicious woman", and "poor father and daughter" dominated the hot search list.
All netizens subjected me to the most vicious insults and curses.
My parents were also doxxed, their company went bankrupt, and they were forced to be trapped at home and unable to leave the house.
As soon as they showed their heads, they were splashed with feces, insulted, and had wreaths thrown at them.
In the end, they died tragically at home, and no one took care of their funeral until their bodies started to stink.
And I was tortured to death by prisoners in prison.
Until my death, I couldn't understand why my spoiled daughter would jump off a building and commit suicide with injuries all over her body?
The painful memories of my last life are still vivid in my mind. In this life, I must find out the truth!
