Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 974: Chapter 971: Unwilling to Accept Fate

"Maybe we didn’t do anything good in our previous lives, which is why we ended up in this family in this lifetime." Xu Chunmei naturally knew that the "her" Xu Chunxia was talking about referred to Kang Li. After witnessing today’s lively scene at Team Leader’s House, her feelings were mixed with envy.

Just like her Third Sister said, Sister Li Bao was a girl like the sisters, considered "money-losing goods" by their parents, but how did Sister Li Bao grow up compared to how the sisters grew up today?

When they could walk, they had to help out at home. If they wanted to go to school, they could only stand at the courtyard’s entrance, watching other kids with backpacks heading to school. If they dared to mention it at home, what awaited the sisters were beatings and scoldings from their parents.

Nowadays, because of the incident between her Third Sister and their parents, their family had completely lost its reputation in the village. As a result, neither she nor her Third Sister had any matchmaker visiting to speak of marriage, and even her little brother, their Fourth Brother, whom the parents doted on, hadn’t managed to find a wife.

When they went out, their family was like bugs, avoided by the villagers who didn’t want to say more than a word to them, afraid of being tainted by their "stench."

"Is there really a previous life? I don’t believe it..."

Xu Chunxia shook her head.

Xu Chunmei: "What difference does it make whether Third Sister believes or not?"

"I want to leave this place, go far, far away. I don’t believe my fate is destined to be worse than hers... Do you want to leave?"

"Third Sister... do you think it’s possible? To leave, we need an introductory letter, otherwise where can we go?"

"We can take the college entrance exam now; everything is changing. How do we know without trying that there’s no way out without an introductory letter? I’m already turning twenty-two, almost twenty-three, and if I keep staying with this family, I’m afraid I’ll truly become an old maid for life.

Once I go out, I’ll be pointed at and talked about... Chunmei, I’m not resigning myself to this fate. Compared to her, aside from attending school, where am I less than her?

But she not only grew up being loved by her family, she also married such a good man, and now she’s about to attend the best university in the country. Chunmei... when I think about how she is my age, yet lives a completely different life, I feel agonized, driven to madness..."

"Third Sister, why do you always have to compare yourself to Sister Li Bao?"

This was Xu Chunxiang’s voice. The little girl had grown from a little girl to a young lady, yet due to lack of nutrition, she not only was thin, but shorter by almost half a head than other girls her age.

Xu Chunxia: "I’m not the one comparing. The villagers have been comparing me to her since I was young."

"If Third Sister hadn’t argued with Sister Li Bao, Third Sister would certainly be a different person now."

Xu Chunxiang said softly, to which Xu Chunxia responded, "I didn’t argue with her. It was her attitude towards me that suddenly changed."

"It’s because of Brother Weimin; I know about this."

Thinking about Zhou Weimin and Su Qing as a couple also passing the college entrance exam and going to North City for college after the New Year, Xu Chunxiang couldn’t help but say, "Third Sister, since you made that move, why didn’t it succeed? Otherwise, you would be Brother Weimin’s wife, and after the New Year, when Brother Weimin goes to college, you could have gone along, just thinking about it brings joy."

"What nonsense are you talking?"

Xu Chunmei softly reprimanded her sister Chunxiang.

"I’m not talking nonsense."

Xu Chunxiang defended herself: "I pity Third Sister."

"Alright, stop arguing. I was foolish before, I won’t be anymore."

If she hadn’t fallen out with Kang Libao, Kang Libao would surely have helped her when she was in trouble, or if she had successfully schemed against Zhou Weimin, then Educated Youth Su’s position would undoubtedly be hers. But she had messed up everything, leading to the situation she was in now.
