Chapter 1 of After learning the truth, I made them pay with blood!

Before Easter, my father passed away unexpectedly.

In the group chat, my father-in-law Frank Richter said that his family had a rule that son-in-laws and children couldn’t go to pay tribute.

He was clearly saying that to me.

But my father died because he fell from the scaffolding while building a house for the Richter family.

I couldn’t tolerate this at all, [Fuck. Just wait for my father to talk to you tonight.]

——

In order to bring my father's ashes back to our hometown for Easter, I was still catching up with my work when I got home in the past few days. Finally, I finished my work and took out my phone to watch videos of my father when he was alive.

I saw that the [Lovey-Dovey Family] group chat, which was usually silent, was very lively now.

The group chat consisted of relatives from my husband's family. I didn't want to open it, but I found that someone mentioned me.

I didn't expect to be furious when I opened it.

Frank forwarded a link with the following text, [In our Richter family, son-in-law and children must not visit the in-laws' grave. It will bring bad luck to the Richter family. Moreover, your father's death is unnatural and has negative energy. I suggest you don't go either. After all, you are a member of our Richter family. It will affect everyone's luck to be associated with a dead person. It's not reasonable. @Yvonne]

I clicked on the link and quickly browsed through the whole article. The general idea was that after I married, I would have to follow the rules of my in-laws.

Scrolling down, the chat records were filled with cheers and support.

It was like they had all lost their memories, forgetting that my dad fell to his death in order to build the Richter family's ancestral home!

I suppressed my anger and pushed open the door of Frank's room, "Dad, if you have any opinions, just tell me privately. There's no need to mention it in the group."

Frank snorted, "Hmph, we are a family. What can't be seen openly by everyone?"

I patiently said, "Others don't know, but you know how my dad died."

Frank looked at his phone and glanced at me sideways, "How did he die? Isn't it because of his own carelessness? I didn't say anything about him dirtying our ancestral house. How dare your family want my son and granddaughter to visit his grave? No way!"

Violet Richter didn't even lift her head, "Yvonne, since we've come to this point, let's talk about it today. Don't act like the Richter family owes you money. Your father came to work for us, and we paid him. If we didn't pity him, how could we give him this lucrative job? Who knew he would be so careless?"

She waved her hand several times in disgust.

I was filled with anger, and tears fell involuntarily.

My dad used to be a well-known tile worker in the county, but later he injured his waist and had less work.

Other workers at least charged 500 dollars a day, but my dad worked for the Richter family for more than 20 days and only asked for 1000 dollars.

I felt sorry for my dad, but my dad persuaded me, "We are all family, it doesn't matter if they don’t pay me, as long as they treat you well!"

But even until he died, my in-laws never treated him as a family.

Even I was an insignificant and easily manipulated object to them.

I gritted my teeth and said, "Felix Richter can choose not to go, but Stella must go. That's her grandfather!"

After saying that, I hurried back to the room, thinking about how to tell Felix about this while my phone rang again.

Frank, [I'm useless now that I'm old. My words are not important in the eyes of my children and grandchildren. Felix, if you want to go, just go. Don't worry about our life and death.]

Aunt, Olive Richter, [Brother, you are too cowardly. How dare your daughter-in-law offend you? According to reason, a married girl is a member of the in-laws. You shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of your original family. Do you teach her a lesson? @Violet]

Violet, [Yvonne won’t listen to us. We can't intervene. Everyone, let's turn the page on this matter. Stop talking about it.]

Olive, [I can't tolerate. How dare they compete with us for land?]

Uncle Jack Richter came out to mediate, [Olive, watch your words.]

Competing for land?

Oh.

I finally realized that they didn't want Felix to go back with me, not because of any custom, but because they didn't want him to pay for my dad's burial.

If it were before, I would definitely be so angry that I would cry.

After all, as a housewife for ten years, I had to ask my husband for every penny.

They simply thought that if they stopped Felix from going back with me, it would be difficult for my dad to be buried, and Olive would be able to get a free burial plot as she wished.

But now, I had a job and had just received a bonus of 200,000 dollars for outstanding performance, enough to bury my dad.

I figured it out and realized their plan should have started when my father just passed away.
