Plot Twists

The wheat has yet to ripen when my Grandma, Julia Simmon, appears to me in a dream. "There will be a plague of locusts in the autumn. Sell off the produce and raise fish to ensure the family has income." I, Vanessa West, convince my parents to harvest the wheat for grain and feed before irrigating the fields to raise fish. Then, a severe drought strikes and the fish die, leaving my family drowning in debt. We're at a loss to know what to do. Then, Grandma appears in my dreams again. "There are gold bars buried under the oak tree on the hill at our old home. Selling them will sort out our debts and leave you with money to spare." After telling my father, Alan West, this, he digs up a whole crate of white powder. The police happen to be staking out the area. They have him arrested, thinking that he means to buy the drugs. For the amount he gets caught with, he faces life imprisonment. My mother, Hannah Smith, is unable to bear the sight of this and faints on the spot. Again, Grandma appears to me in a dream and offers guidance. "Dr. Hank Vance at Central Hospital can cure her. If you don't hurry, she'll be in danger!" Desperate to save my mother, I threaten Dr. Vance with my life, and he agrees to operate on her. Then, my boyfriend gets into a car accident and urgently needs treatment. However, he succumbs to his injuries due to my asking for Dr. Vance. In the meantime, Mom doesn't receive treatment in time. As she is dying, Mom weeps, asking me why I ruined the entire family. Then, she passes away on the operating table. My boyfriend's parents think I am responsible for their son's death, and they stab me 18 times. While being rushed to the emergency room, I see Grandma again. However, she is grinning maliciously as she plunges a knife into my heart, mimicking the stabs I got from real life and giving me a ruptured heart. I died without understanding why Grandma's appearances led to my family's end. I open my eyes and find out that I've returned to the day Grandma told me to sell our crops.

"Vanessa West, remember that there will be a locust plague this autumn. It'll be a waste to plant wheat. You should harvest the young wheat, sell them for silage, and use that money to make a fish pond. It'll be more profitable."I jolted awake. This familiar dream made me realize I had truly returned to the past. However, I didn't intend to tell my parents. I rolled over and went back to sleep.In my past life, my grandmother, Julia Simmon, appeared to me in a dream, warning me about the locusts. She told me that I had to tell my father to harvest the crops early, sell them, and get a fish pond with the money.Grandma doted on me, so I believed her implicitly and immediately told Dad about the locust plague.Since my father, Alan West, injured his hand while working, our family's only source of income was tending to the few acres of farmland we had.It didn't just support our family, but it also funded my education. We could not afford to take any risks.I was initially fretting

I reassured myself, thinking that the drought would not affect the wheat so badly. Even if we did nothing further, Dad was definitely going to have a good harvest in the fall. Yet, I still felt uneasy.The next day, I took out my hard-earned savings and bought pesticide to kill the locusts, carefully ensuring that the fields were meticulously sprayed.Dad couldn't help but laugh when he saw this, saying I was behaving more like a farmer than he was.I dared not relax. I kept a close eye on our crops each day.When harvest season finally arrived, the wheat stood tall and robust. After the grain merchants came to inspect it, they offered the highest purchase price. "This batch of wheat is top-quality grain. We'll buy it at a high price. Please reserve some for us."Dad's tanned face was filled with joy. "Wonderful! I can buy new clothes for my wife and daughter this year."After agreeing to harvest it the next day, my tense heart finally felt at ease.I was right—Grandma's premoni

Why were the police bringing the crate of white powder to our house?To my surprise, when the crate was opened, there was no white powder. Instead, over a dozen gold bars were in the crate."Officers, why is there so much gold?" Dad asked, bewildered.However, as soon as he stepped forward, the police pinned him to the ground and handcuffed him.The sudden turn of events completely stunned me. My first instinct was to rush forward, but the police stopped me."Why are you arresting my father?" I asked."Upon investigation, the box contains stolen gold bars from a heist that happened over a decade ago. They were taken mid-transit. We've also managed to confirm that the mastermind was your grandfather. Your father's guilty expression now proves he was connected too."Just then, the officer, whose name was Shawn Fontaine, gave me a complicated look. "You personally made the call to send your father to jail. His actions will be a stain on your family name and bar you from civil servi

The call connected quickly, and I heard James' comforting voice. "I heard all about what happened to your crops, babe. Is there anything I can do to help?"I felt warmth bloom in my heart. James was such a good person, and yet he died because of my stubbornness in my past life. This time, I swore I'd save Mom and ensure nothing happened to James as well.So, I said, "James, I need a favor. Stay where you are this afternoon. Don't move. I'll come see you tonight, alright?"I racked my brains for a suitable answer.Yet, James didn't hesitate as he replied, "I don't know why, but since you sound so serious, it has to be important. Don't worry. I'll do as you say and wait for you to come pick me up."I nodded emphatically, then wiped away my tears and rushed to Central Hospital. I skipped all formalities and fell to my knees before Dr. Hank Vance.He immediately realized the gravity of the situation and chose to treat Mom.I glanced at the time and realized I was an hour early.Han

The words I was going to say to stop Anna died on my lips, and my gaze toward Mom turned icy. "Go on, then, Mrs. Larson. Kill her."Suddenly, everything clicked into place.My heart felt like it was being clenched in an icy grip. Then, it burned like it was on fire.Suddenly, I felt a near-ruthless sense of calm wash over me.Just as Anna, who was seemingly driven mad, lunged at me with the knife, I made a move that caught everyone off guard. I didn't back down or beg for mercy. Instead, I swiftly reached out and shoved Mom, who was in front of me, right into the path of the blade."Mrs. Larson," I said. My voice rang with an icy, lethal calm. "Go ahead. Kill my mother."Time seemed to freeze in that instant.Mom stumbled after being shoved forward, stopping just inches from the tip of the blade. She turned to look at me in terror. She looked bewildered. It was as if she were seeing me for the first time.Anna's hand froze in mid-air. The insanity on her features was replaced b

The more I spoke, the clearer everything became, and the more my heart ached."As for those locusts… I personally ensured that no locusts could breed on our farm by cleaning out the eggs. Why was only our farm affected? You secretly scattered eggs while I was asleep, didn't you?"To make it convincing, to make me believe you, and to drive me to desperation, you went as far as to destroy your own harvest? Half a year's worth of sweat and toil?"I stared at Dad's face. That simple, weathered face of a farmer now seemed like that of a complete stranger."Even the cruelest beast won't devour its own young, but your cruelty knows no bounds."Under my barrage of questions, he abruptly opened his eyes. Gone was the usual love and sorrow I could find there. What was left was shock, panic, and a hint of that ruthlessness at having his mask stripped away so publicly.His voice was hoarse and filled with resentment as he asked, "How did you find out?""I'm not blind anymore!" I replied, pr

A chill ran through me. So, that's how it was.Not just greed for money—but years of jealousy and resentment rooted deep in their souls.Grandma's nurturing and meticulous care for me, along with the assurances she'd left behind so I could have a good life, was an unforgivable sin to them.Not only did they want the money, but they also wanted to use the heart-wrenching tactic of Grandma appearing in my dreams to drive me to ruin. They ensured that I was filled with guilt and hatred for myself.That way, they could take property with a clear conscience, vent their resentment, and maintain the facade of being innocent parents to the public."So," I practically spat out the words through gritted teeth. Each word dripped with anguish. "You repeatedly manipulated me in Grandma's name. You made me believe I slandered my father, hurt my mother, killed James, and was judged by Grandma."You did all this to break my spirit and drive me to suicide? That way, you could claim Grandma's inhe

James' voice trembled as he spoke. "Mom, we're in trouble. There are so many cops outside. We're surrounded!"So, he had been hiding outside and keeping watch the entire time?Several police officers quickly filed into the ward, instantly bringing the situation under control. The officer in charge was the one I'd contacted beforehand.On my way to the hospital, as the clues finally became clearer to me, I realized that the nightmares I had were most likely induced by hypnosis or hallucinogens. I was driven by a strong will to live as well as rage.I recorded this nightmarish ordeal as well as any manner of potential financial crime clearly on my phone before sending it to the officer I'd previously contacted.Shawn stared at both my parents, Anna, and James. "You lot."His gaze was razor sharp. His voice carried an authority that brooked no argument as he said, "You're all under arrest under suspicion of conspiring to frame someone, the use of illicit substances, as well as attem
