My mother-in-law acts like a spoiled child.
She calls her burps“little baby burps”and her bowel movements“little baby poops.”
At my new restaurant’s grand opening,she released all the caged rabbits,leaving us unable to serve a single signature dish.

When I confronted her,she sobbed,“Bunnies are so cute!How could you eat them?”
My sister-in-law patted her head.“Mom is the most precious person in our family.
Emily,you’re so ignorant.”
Later,my mother-in-law accidentally poured paraquat into a nursing bott,killed my one-month-old daughter.
I cried out my heart, but my husband slapped me repeatedly.“Mom didn’t mean to do it.!You’re so loud,she’ll have nightmares.”
My mother-in-law twisted her fingers.“It’s your fault for focusing on your daughter instead of my mom .Mother is the most important person in this family.”

I was extremely disappointed. Holding my daughter who died due to lung failure, I jumped down from the rooftop in deep sorrow.
When I opened my eyes again,I was back on the day my mother-in-law planned to release my rabbits.
“My mom just wants to join the opening ceremony of the restaurant!If you don't agree with this matter, I will be very angry!”
Then I woke up.

My sixty-year-old mother-in-law puffed out her cheeks,hands on hips,pointing at me and my husband.“I'm very aggrieved.
In my past life,after my husband’s coaxing,I’d agreed.
She had cooed,“I love rabbit very much!Don't be afraid. I'm so kind and beautiful. I will surely release you rabbits.”
On opening day,she released all the ingredients—rabbits,premium Wagyu beef,and sliced pork—dumping them into the sewer.
“Cows and pigs have such sad lives,hurt by bad person .But for your next life,you’ll live happily!”
The rabbits caused many accidents citywide,the expensive ingredients were wasted,and disappointed customers left empty-handed.
In the past, I’d quit my job while pregnant to open this restaurant with my life savings.
But now, its reputation is very bed, the business of the restaurant is very poo, and it went bankrupt.
When I demanded accountability, my mother-in-law bit a baby bottle and cried,“these rabbits are so cute!You can’t eat them!”
My husband,he patted her mother gently, but he snapped at me,“It’s just a few rabbits.I told you not to open a restaurant,but you didn’t listen to my advice.”
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law also help my mother-in-law.“Before you came,Mom was the family’s baby.The restaurant failed because you don’t have business manager ability.Stay home and care for our mom.”
With no savings and pregnant,I cared for her during my pregnancy,planning to find work after giving birth.
My sister-in-law seized the chance to dump all responsibilities on me.
When Dorothy want to eat spicy noodles at night,I had to cook it.If it was too spicy,she will cry and prompting my husband to berate me.
“You can't even take good care of such an important person in our family. How will you take care of your children in the future?”
If she needed the bathroom,I was dragged out,even though I'm still pregnant.
My husband insisted,“Mom’s a little baby.Her poops are little baby poops.How could she hold it?”
I was speechless but endured,remembering my late father-in-law’s help with my job.
When her pink pants got stained and wouldn’t wash clean,I couldn’t bend over in my third trimester to scrub them,so I bought her new ones.
She glared at me,her eyes drifting to my swollen belly.
I didn’t understand her idea.
After giving birth,while I went for a lactation consultation,I briefly left my daughter with my husband.He was busy with his work and left the child to my mother-in-law.
A bottle of paraquat mixed with milk killed my one-month-old.
I saw the child die with my own eyes.
In the morning, my daughter is still smiling at me;by evening,she was a cold corpse.
I couldn’t fathom the pain of an infant dying from lung failure.She was so tiny.
But despite my grief and insistence on calling the police, Dorothy just puffed her cheeks.“You were too busy with your daughter to care for Baby. in our family, only I am the most precious.”
My husband nodded.“We can have children in the future. Be quiet. Don't scare our mother..”
My sister-in-law didn’t even visit.“Caring for Mom is your job.You shouldn’t have gotten pregnant.”
Dorothy grimaced at my daughter’s body.“Can you take your daughter away? I will have nightmares.”
I'm completely sad and disappointed,I jumped from the top floor with my daughter’s body.
When I woke up again, I returned to the day that changed my destiny.
This time,I’d protect my daughter and make them all pay price for their behaviour.
