My sister-in-law wants to be a mom who accompanies her son for the college entrance exam.
Later we learned that she not only did laundry and cooked for my nephew but also let him 'return home'.
The matter was exposed because my brother received a phone call.
Angrily rushing to the rental house, I finally saw such a deplorable scene.
My brother decisively filed for divorce; my sister-in-law left with nothing, and my nephew also blamed his mother for being 'softened by time'.
But my sister-in-law blamed everything on me.
It must have been you who complained to your brother!
You want your daughter to participate in the college entrance exam this year too; are you deliberately sowing discord to reduce a competitor?!
She killed me with a knife; my daughter, who usually ranks in the top three, was so devastated by seeing my corpse that she didn’t even get into college.
And I only found out after I died that it was my nephew who posted the 'return home' video in the local group, which my brother discovered.
When I opened my eyes again, I was back to when my sister-in-law asked if I wanted to go with her to be an accompanying mother.
This time, I am going to make them turn against each other!

Sister, sister, what are you daydreaming about?
I suddenly opened my eyes.
A face painted with gaudy lipstick came close to me; it was my sister-in-law.
She was looking at me with those calculating eyes, her tone familiar yet carrying a hint of imperceptible superiority.
Look, both our kids are in their third year; it's a crucial time.
I was thinking, how about we rent a house near the school together to act as accompanying mothers?
That way we can take care of each other.
Again with this talk!
Identical!
I clenched my fists tightly, my nails digging deep into my palms, using the pain to suppress my surging hatred.
In my last life, after she asked this question, I rejected her.
Because I'm fundamentally a very open-minded parent, my daughter is very independent, and our home isn't far from the school; I feel it's unnecessary, and accompanying her would also bring extra pressure.
My sister-in-law seemed a bit unhappy; she went to be an accompanying mother herself.
At first, she only cooked and cleaned for my nephew so he could rest well.
But with the busy third year of high school, my nephew's grades were already poor, so he remained irritable and often lost his temper.
My sister-in-law was also thinking about what more she could do for her son.
Just when she was browsing videos to see what to do, she saw some single mothers sharing their experiences.
They said they were worried about outside girls, so before their son matures completely, they would let him 'return home'.
Not only can he express his emotions, but he can also find satisfaction for himself.
My brother, in middle age, indeed feels somewhat helpless.
My sister-in-law saw in the video that those sons had a very close relationship with their mothers.
They looked in good spirits and seemed very happy.
She was moved and decided to try it with her son.
As a result, after my nephew tried it, he found it to be so delightful that he was practically over the moon.
He began quietly searching for related things and found that such things were not uncommon in various local groups.
Some even posted in the group to show off.
He felt that he was also quite impressive, much stronger than those middle-aged men.
So she also posted in the group, enjoying everyone's admiration for her obedient mother.
What a coincidence - someone in the group knows us, and he's my brother's friend.
Moreover, that person even called my brother to mention this matter.
After my brother watched the video, he was so furious that his vision went dark and directly divorced my sister-in-law.
My sister-in-law left with nothing; after thinking it over, she felt it must have been me who told.
Because my daughter and her son are both taking the college entrance exam this year, I must have ulterior motives, scheming to find a way to ruin my nephew's chances and reduce a competitor for my daughter.
But she never considered that my daughter used to be in the top three, while her son was in the bottom three; they weren't even in the same league, so where does the talk of 'competitors' come from?
She went crazy and killed me.
And my top-performing daughter came home to see my corpse, which was a huge blow, and she was devastated, ultimately not even getting into college.
I lost my life, and she lost her future.
And now, I actually returned to before the tragedy happened!
I suppressed the overwhelming hatred in my heart.
I know I can't act impulsively.
This time, holding the script in my hand, I will definitely make them turn against each other, ending in a fate worse than mine and my daughter's!

I took a deep breath and tried to squeeze out a smile that was harder than crying.
Sister-in-law, this... this probably won't work.
My sister-in-law's smile faded somewhat, showing a hint of displeasure.
What's wrong, sister? Do you not want to go with me, or don't you trust my advice?
Oh, sister-in-law, you misunderstood!
I quickly waved my hand, pretending to be in a difficult situation.
It's not that I don't want to; it's just that my daughter, you know, is in her third year of high school and very rebellious.
I sighed, my tone filled with a hint of 'helplessness' and 'headache'.
She said I was hovering around her every day, as if I were monitoring her, causing her great pressure and affecting her mood for studying.
Just the other day, we had a big argument; I told her that if I dared to accompany him, she would dare to drop out.
I said this while carefully observing my sister-in-law's expression.
Sure enough, after hearing my words, the displeasure in her eyes immediately vanished, replaced by unabashed pride and a sense of show-off.
Oh, today's kids really don't know how to appreciate their blessings!
My sister-in-law slapped her thigh, her voice rising by eight degrees.
Unlike my son, who is very understanding! He can't stand not seeing me for a day and sticks to me!
She leaned closer to me, lowering her voice, filled with pride.
To be honest, my little one still needs me to tell him stories every night before bed.
Sometimes he even wants me to hold him to sleep! He says mom smells good and it's comfortable to hold.
Listening to her, my stomach churned with nausea.
Smells good?
Comfortable?
I almost vomited.
Those unbearable scenes from my past life surged to my mind again, the sight of my sister-in-law and nephew rolling on the bed in the video.
And that line from my nephew, 'Mom, you smell so good,' is simply my nightmare!
But I still kept a face of 'envy' and 'agreement'.
Yes, yes, you're lucky, sister-in-law. Your son is so filial and so dependent on you.
I deliberately emphasized the word 'dependent'.
When my sister-in-law heard this, her eyes lit up, and that smug smile couldn't be hidden.
That's right! Boys should be close to their mothers! Unlike girls, who become distant as they grow up.
She glanced at me sideways, as if to say: See, having a son is definitely better than having a daughter.
I sneered inwardly.
Yes, it's family.
So close that they could 'return home', so close that they could casually post these videos to show off.
He's just a giant baby who can't live without his mom!
In this life, I want to see how you, the model of 'deep mother-son affection', will bring about your own demise!

So, sister-in-law, about being an accompanying mother, I really feel it's beyond my capabilities.
My daughter is very stubborn; I'm afraid that I might overdo it and affect her college entrance exam.
I continued to explain 'in a flurry'.
At this moment, my sister-in-law was completely immersed in her fantasy of her son's 'excellence', fully agreeing with my words.
That's true; the kids have grown up and have their own thoughts.
Unlike my kid, who listens to me for everything.
She patted my shoulder, as if to say 'I understand you'.
Alright, since your kid isn't close to you, then forget it.
I can go by myself; I can take care of my son wholeheartedly.
That's great! With you, sister-in-law, taking care of him so attentively, my nephew will definitely get into a good university!
I flattered her according to her words.
My sister-in-law’s smile became even brighter: "Of course! My son is very smart!"
She bragged a few more times about her son's 'understanding' and 'dependence' before leaving satisfied.
Watching her sway away, the smile on my face instantly vanished, replaced by a cold chill.
Sister-in-law, you just go ahead and 'take care' of your good son.
I want to see with my own eyes how you two mother and son walk step by step towards destruction, how you reap what you sow.
How... to turn against each other!
When I got home, my husband noticed something was off with my expression and asked me concernedly what was wrong.
I shook my head; I didn't want to tell him this disgusting thing for now, lest he act impulsively.
I walked into my daughter's room; she was wearing headphones and doing exercises.
The sunlight shone through the curtain seams onto her serious profile, peaceful and beautiful.
This is my daughter; I will protect her with all my strength.
The pain she endured in her last life, I will never let it happen again in this life!
I gently walked over and patted her head.
My daughter took off her headphones and looked at me in confusion: 'Mom, what's wrong?'
It's okay, mom just wants to see you.
I said gently:
Is studying tiring? Do you want to take a break?
My daughter smiled.
Not tired, mom, don't worry, I will definitely get into my dream university!
Looking at her confident appearance, my heart felt a pang of bitterness.
Yes, my daughter has always been so outstanding; if it weren't for that incident...
Hmm, mom believes in you.
I nodded heavily.
In this life, no one can ruin my daughter's life!
In the following days, I appeared as usual, buying groceries, cooking, and taking care of the family.
But secretly, I was waiting quietly for the 'good show' to unfold.

As expected, my sister-in-law kept her word and quickly rented a house near my nephew's school, starting her 'accompanying mom' life.
My brother is still that honest and simple man, often lamenting how he married a virtuous wife who takes such good care of their son.
I wanted to remind him several times, but the words got stuck in my throat.
No, it's not time yet.
Now that it's said, with my brother's nature, at most he would just scold her a bit and then ask her to tone it down.
Is that enough?
What I want is for them to be utterly disgraced and never recover!
I want my sister-in-law to taste what true despair means!
I am waiting for the right moment.
The moment that 'surprise' call came to my brother's phone.
In my last life, that phone call was like thunder, shattering our peaceful life.
In this life, it will be the horn that opens the curtain of revenge.
That night, my daughter came home from school, put down her backpack, and came over to me.
Mom, I saw auntie today after school.
I was preparing a midnight snack in the kitchen when I paused at her words.
Oh? Your aunt went to school?
Yes, I'm at the school gate, seems like I'm waiting for my cousin to finish evening study.
My daughter tilted her head and thought for a moment.
My aunt even greeted me when she saw me.
I smiled and handed her a plate of cut fruits.
Your aunt just rented a place next to your cousin's school to accompany him, so she can pick him up every day.
I pretended to casually tease her.
How about it? Should mom also rent a house next to your school to deliver food to you every day?
As soon as my daughter heard this, she shook her head like a rattle.
No, no! Mom, please don’t!
She looked at me seriously.
Our home isn’t far from the school; it's very convenient for me to take the bus.
You already work hard enough, and now you come home every night to make me a midnight snack; I am really very happy!
Besides, I'm already so big; I can take care of myself.
Listening to my daughter's caring words, my heart felt warm, and the disgust caused by my sister-in-law dissipated a lot.
I gently patted her head.
Okay, mom believes in you. But while studying is important, don’t overwork yourself, alright?
I know, mom!
My daughter answered crisply, taking a bite of an apple.
I looked at her and silently vowed.
In this life, I must ensure my daughter grows up healthy and happy, and never let anyone hurt her again.

Since my sister-in-law moved to the school nearby to 'accompany' her son, her friend circle has been non-stop.
Today she posted: 'My son is so understanding; he even helps me open the door, touched #Mother and Son Affection#'.
Tomorrow, post: 'Studying is too hard; I made a nourishing soup for my son to nourish his brain #Daily life of an accompanying mother#'.
Every word in between reveals her 'greatness' as a mother and her son's 'success'.
My brother, that fool, really believed it.
Once he came to my house for dinner and even complained to me.
My sister-in-law really is something; she just knows how to waste money!
Not only is the rent so expensive, but serving that kid with lavish meals every day is about to spoil him! He can't endure any hardship!
I just smiled and casually comforted him a few words.
Brother, sister-in-law is also doing this for my nephew's good.
During this crucial time in the third year, with high study pressure, adding some nutrition should be reasonable.
But I was sneering inside: Yes, supplementing 'nutrition', in certain aspects, the 'nutrition' is indeed quite ample.
That day, I had some temporary work at the company and worked overtime.
Thinking the time was about right, I planned to head to my daughter's school to pick her up.
Just arrived at the school gate when I saw a scene that almost made me vomit.
