Chapter - 1997

Hannah suddenly felt that the hellish life now is worse than it was in the black coal mine.
As she cried, she thought back to her life in the black coal kiln and sighed in her heart, “At first in the black coal kiln, although the environment was indeed a little worse, at least I could eat enough every day after following that overseer! Not only do I not have to go hungry, but I also don’t have to work much every day, and I can yell at Linda and her family, which is pretty cool when you think about it. And…. And…….. And that overseer, although he was a bit ugly and dirty, but he was really good at sex, and on some level, he also made her experience something she had never experienced before…”
Thinking of this, Hannah sighed long and cried to Wendy, who was beside her, “Wendy, what kind of life do you call this family of ours! Day in and day out it’s either this or that, a little money has gone down the drain, a company has gone bankrupt, and now I’m borrowing to live in someone else’s villa without even a bite to eat, when will this kind of life ever end…”
Wendy also shed tears and choked, “Mom, I also can’t understand, our family used to live quite well in all aspects, and I was also very close to Brother Gerald, and we were about to get married, and then all of a sudden it’s not as good as one day…”
Hannah sighed and said, “Some other day it will be necessary to go to the temple to pay homage, if this continues, my little life will be tossed away….”
Wendy said, “Mom, now that I think about it carefully, it seems like our family started to go through bad luck right after Grandma’s birthday that time before.”
“Well?” Hannah was surprised and asked, “Which birthday?”
Wendy said, “Just last time ah, last birthday banquet, Gerald's brother gave grandmother a Hetian jade Buddha, Wendell, also sent someone to give grandmother a jade Buddha medallion.”

Hannah nodded, “I remember, that emerald Buddha medallion of Wendell was worth a lot of money, it was said to be worth three to four million…”
Speaking of which, Hannah exclaimed regretfully, “Pity! That emerald Buddha medallion, along with the rest of your grandmother’s antique jewelry, was seized by the bank.”
Wendy said, “At that birthday banquet, Charlie even asked to borrow money from his grandmother to treat Mrs. Lewis at that orphanage, do you still remember?”
“Remember ah.” Hannah gritted her teeth and scolded, “That stinky hangman Charlie, borrowing money for the birthday banquet, he was also really bold, and in the end, he was scolded by your grandmother and scuttled away, I’m happy when I think about it!”
Wendy said, “I’m not trying to say that, I’m trying to say that I always feel that our family has been constantly unlucky since that night…”
“Yes?” Hannah frowned and asked her, “What was the first unlucky thing that happened?”
Wendy was busy, “The first one is the day after the birthday feast, ah! I went to the Emgrand Group with Gerald brother, wanting to send invitations to the vice chairman of the Emgrand Group, Doris, and incidentally also climbing up the relationship, and I ran into Charlie downstairs at the Emgrand Group…”
“Charlie?” Hannah asked after her, “What did Charlie go to do?”
Wendy said, “Charlie said at the time that he was applying for a job at the Emgrand Group, then Brother Gerald and I mocked him, and then something strange happened right after that…”
“What’s the weird thing?!”
