The first thing I did after being reborn was grind two hundred and fifty kilograms of meat and gather my whole family to make meatballs together.
I did this because, in the past life, my stepmother had an affair with an unknown man and got pregnant with his child. Since she did not want my father to know about that, she deliberately caused a commotion at the market over the sale of eggs. As a result, she was pushed to the ground during the chaos and lost her baby.
When she returned home, she wept pitifully and told my father, "If it weren't for Megan insisting we go snatch those discounted eggs, I wouldn’t have fallen and lost our precious baby boy …"
Hastily, I tried to explain, but my fiancé stepped forward and sealed my fate when he yelled, "Megan Foster, I'm so disappointed with you!
"I know you are a greedy woman, who likes to take advantage of others, like eating at restaurants without paying, stealing bulk snacks from supermarkets and so on. However, this time, you've gone too far. You caused Auntie to lose her child just for a few eggs! I can’t marry someone like you. I’m calling off our engagement!"
Hearing this, my father flew into a rage. He chased me and slapped me across the face dozens of times. Then, he tied me up and sold me to an old bachelor in the village. I was locked in a pigsty, tormented until I bleeding out and died.
Only when I had already died, did I finally learn the truth that the person my fiancé was after actually my stepmother. Our engagement was just an excuse for them to be together.

She spoke as if it was a sure thing. She did not even give me a chance to refuse when she said again, "Don't say anything to your father about my whereabouts. If he knew where I am, he'll searching for me again and I won't have a room to breathe."
"Well, that's settled then! Megan, you’re my good little girl. When I get back, I’ll bring you something tasty!"
After Olivia stated her intention, she ended the call straight away and then rejected my call.
I tried to call her five or seven times, but every time all I got was a busy tone. I suddenly realized that she had blocked me. This made me completely awake and a cold sweat broke out in my rage.
I was actually a reborn person. I went back to the day my stepmother would pretend to have a miscarriage over some eggs.
In my past life, my stepmother married my father in a hurry because she thought he was a rich man. Only after the wedding, did she realize that she married an ordinary ol...
