I Was Reborn into the Past and Saved My Stunning Sister-in-Law at the Beginning - Chapter 1:
Chapter 1: A Miscarriage Is Best—Saves Milk Money for Booze:
“You beast! You killed the children my eldest and second sister were carrying!”
That was the last thing Xu Feng heard before countless fists and kicks rained down on him like a storm.
As his consciousness faded, he saw his beautiful wife standing nearby, looking at him with an expression full of conflicting emotions.
Xu Feng regretted everything…
At that moment between life and death, he finally realized just how deeply he had wronged his wife.
She was originally a wealthy heiress who had fallen into hardship, only to marry a useless drunk like him who constantly abused and insulted her.
And then he committed an unforgivable sin that caused his devastated wife to suffer a miscarriage.
It wasn’t until her family came looking for her that he found out her true identity—she was actually a young lady of the powerful Lin family!
But none of that mattered anymore…
He had never cherished her when he had her, and now that his worthless life was over, maybe this could be considered an apology—a form of redemption to her, her sister, and the unborn children.
If there was a next life… Lin Xiyue, I really want to say I’m sorry.
…
In the most rundown house at the east end of the village, a man’s snoring was so loud that even flies didn’t dare come near.
One glance around the room, and you’d see there was nothing of value in the entire house.
Yet standing beside the bed was a young woman whose beauty was comparable to Zhu Lin.
But years of malnutrition had left her face slightly gaunt.
The faint swell of her belly showed she was already several months pregnant.
Lin Xiyue, looking haggard and worn, gazed at the man sleeping in bed with a pained expression. She gently rubbed her stomach, finding a small sliver of comfort.
It was as if the baby in her womb wasn’t just a child—but her only hope for survival.
She knew waking this man at this time would likely lead to abuse, but for the sake of her sister, she had no choice.
“A’Feng, wake up.”
That was what she used to call Xu Feng on their wedding night. Ever since he became an alcoholic, she hadn’t called him that again.
The man in bed lay there like a corpse. No matter how she pushed or called him, he wouldn’t wake.
Just as she was about to give up, he suddenly jolted awake, his eyes full of fury, frightening Lin Xiyue into stumbling back in fear.
Xu Feng trembled and slowly sat up in bed.
The fierceness in his eyes faded into confusion. He looked around the room as if he couldn’t believe what he was seeing, even rubbing his eyes.
“A’Feng, please, save my sister!”
“Those men know she’s still a virgin and want to take her away to repay her husband’s debt!”
No one knew why the two sisters had been lost by the Lin family. They fled from disaster and ended up in Xu Village.
Though both sisters were stunning, in this era where food was scarce, no family was willing to take in an extra mouth.
The village chief took pity on them and arranged marriages for them.
The elder sister, Lin Xixue, was given to a hunter in the village. The hunter was born with an illness that prevented him from marrying, and he had fallen deep into debt trying to cure himself.
It wasn’t a perfect match, but at least she wouldn’t starve.
The younger sister, Lin Xiyue, ended up with the poorest man in the village—Xu Feng.
But fate had no mercy on the two pitiful sisters. Misfortune struck again.
The hunter went deep into the mountains to hunt so he could repay his debts, but encountered a bear.
He barely survived, but became permanently bedridden.
Not only could he not repay his debts, he now owed even more for his medical treatment.
When the creditors found out, they came immediately, threatening to sell Lin Xixue to a brothel if the debt wasn’t paid within three days.
And today was the last day.
Lin Xiyue’s voice was trembling, nearly sobbing.
But Xu Feng sat there in a daze, as if he hadn’t heard a word.
[Perfect Life System successfully bound.]
[Due to the host’s terrible behavior in the previous life, the newbie gift pack has been revoked. Activating your only current function.]
[All expenses made for Lin Xiyue and Lin Xixue will have a 1 to 100 times probability of being reimbursed.]
A series of system messages echoed in Xu Feng’s mind. It took him a while to fully understand them.
He guessed this second chance at life had something to do with the system.
Lin Xiyue thought he was refusing to help and immediately fell to her knees with a thud.
The noise snapped Xu Feng back to reality. He looked at his pregnant wife kneeling on the ground with pleading eyes, and it felt like someone was tearing his heart apart.
Without hesitation, he jumped up to help her to her feet.
“A’Feng, you can hit me if you want, just please save my sister. Even if you beat me to death…”
She thought the hand he raised was to hit her.
Those words made Xu Feng’s heart ache so much he could barely breathe. His hand froze in midair.
Once again, he realized just how much of a monster he had been in his past life.
But the slap never came. Lin Xiyue was confused. Why wasn’t she being hit?
Seeing the pain on his face, she couldn’t even believe it.
But that didn’t matter—her sister was about to be sold. She had no other choice but to continue begging.
“A’Feng…”
Maybe that name could still stir some conscience in him.
“Xiyue, get up. Let’s sit down and talk.”
Xu Feng didn’t insist on helping her anymore. After years of abuse, her instinct to flinch had become automatic.
“Alright… alright…”
God must have pity. Maybe it was that name that awakened some part of his soul. As long as it could save her sister, she didn’t care what the reason was.
“Two days ago, the debt collectors came and said that today…”
Xu Feng looked at his beautiful wife. Her voice was weak and frail, and the pain in his heart deepened.
He remembered the terrible things he had done in his past life.
It was a drunken afternoon just like this. His wife begged him to wake up and help her sister.
Not only did he ignore her, he beat her viciously.
Her sister, Lin Xixue, grabbed a kitchen knife to fight off the debt collectors. In the end, she was killed.
His wife was so heartbroken that she miscarried.
At the time, the despicable Xu Feng even thought the miscarriage was a good thing—he could save the money for milk powder and buy more alcohol instead.
Smack!
He couldn’t hold it in anymore and gave himself a hard slap.
This wasn’t just being a scumbag—he wasn’t even human.
Lin Xiyue was stunned. Why did he slap himself instead of her?
“Xiyue, how much money do we have left?”
Slapping himself wouldn’t change anything. The only way to atone was to change the sisters’ fate.
At the mention of money, Lin Xiyue instantly became tense.
She was scared.
Scared that he’d use the old trick of hitting her just to take the money again. If that happened, her sister would truly be doomed.
Seeing the guarded look in her eyes, Xu Feng realized she thought he was playing a trick.
“You keep the money. Let’s go to your sister’s place now!”
It didn’t matter how much money they had. The first thing to do was deal with the urgent danger.
If they were late, her sister really would end up fighting for her life!
Hearing this, Lin Xiyue finally relaxed a bit.
If he had tried to take the money by force, she would rather be beaten to death today than hand it over.
