"Brother, since you insist on dividing the family, fine, but it must be fair."
Zhou Na's sudden agreement surprised both Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan.
Zhou Chen wasn't surprised, because he knew what kind of person Zhou Na was. He had heard Zhou Na complain more than once about her family's shortcomings, saying that her parents weren't as rich and powerful as others', and that she had long wanted to leave her family of origin.
After Zhou Na passed the exam and became successful, that's exactly what she did: reduced contact, and eventually stopped contacting her altogether.
Little did they know that even a family like theirs was a gift from heaven. If their parents hadn't taken pity on the three siblings when they were abandoned on the street, they might have frozen to death long ago and wouldn't be where they are today.
"When my parents passed away, they left behind more than nine thousand yuan, and it's all here."
Zhou Chen took out the family savings book. Actually, he didn't want to give his parents' money to the three ungrateful children, but now, the three ungrateful children were all on their family register and had the right to inherit the property.
In order to make a complete break, Zhou Chen had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
Consider these few thousand dollars as money wasted.
"Brother, I remember when Dad left, there was clearly 15,000 yuan. What about the 6,000?" Zhou Ling frowned and questioned.
"Don't the three of you need to pay for school?"
"Don't you need to spend money on your meals?"
"If any of you make a mistake, don't I have to pay compensation? And you, don't you need to spend money on clothes and cosmetics?"
Zhou Chen's three consecutive rhetorical questions left Zhou Ling speechless.
Zhou Na and Zhou Chuan both looked embarrassed.
“The house belongs to the government and will be taken back next year. I can ask for no money, but I want the right to use the house for one year, the things left by my parents, and the three of you to move out of the house. If you agree, the nine thousand yuan can be split among the three of you.”
Zhou Chen looked at the three of them expressionlessly.
There are many of his parents' belongings in this house, and he doesn't want to leave them to these three ungrateful wretches. As for the few thousand yuan, it's totally worth it to get the three of them to move out of the Zhou family's household registration.
The three siblings looked at each other, and after a moment, Zhou Na nodded and said, "I agree."
She can live at school and doesn't have to go home.
As for household registration, she can have one household registration booklet for herself.
Zhou Ling planned to move into Zhao Kun's house. She was happy to get more money, since she was already with Zhao Kun and could transfer her household registration directly to his house.
Zhou Chuan, now free, had no objection to wanting to go out and make his way in the world.
Soon, the family property was divided, and then it took an hour to complete the household registration transfer procedures.
After finishing everything, I went back home.
Zhou Chen reminded the three of them not to bother him anymore, and that they should all support themselves from now on, as he would no longer care about anyone.
"Brother, you're underestimating us. It's like the three of us would starve to death without you." Zhou Ling pouted. It wasn't like she absolutely had to go back to this house.
after,
She'll be living the high life with Zhao Kun, and then I'll see if you, Zhou Chen, regret it.
"I suppose my elder brother has long since decided he doesn't want to live with us anymore, and sees us as a burden. So let's just go our separate ways."
After saying that, Zhou Na picked up the books she had organized and moved them out first.
“Our family was so happy, and now it’s all been torn apart. Big brother, you’ll definitely regret this. Second sister, wait for me, let’s go together.” Zhou Ling hurriedly chased after her.
Seeing the two leave, Zhou Chuan didn't linger. He now had a huge sum of three thousand yuan, enough for him to make his way in the world and enjoy a free and unrestrained life.
In an instant, only Zhou Chen remained in the room.
But Zhou Chen felt relaxed and peaceful all over, finally able to distance himself from those three ingrates.
"Next, we'll return to campus."
"To correct the trajectory of my life."
Zhou Chen was very clear about future development, especially the importance of knowledge, which could enable a student from a poor family to cross social classes and change his fate.
Although he was confident that he could live a good life even without going to school, thanks to the knowledge he had gained from living two lifetimes, entering a university would definitely enhance his life and save him from many detours.
In his previous life, he couldn't go to university properly, which was his lifelong regret. Even though he later went to night school and studied hard, he couldn't make up for it. He could only get an ordinary certificate and was looked down upon by others.
In this lifetime, he wants to get into his dream university with dignity and integrity.
Half an hour later,
Zhou Chen arrived at his high school, a place that was almost blurry in his memory.
With mixed feelings, he knocked on the school gate.
"Hey, what brings you here?"
The security guard at the gate recognized Zhou Chen at a glance and came out of the security room with a look of surprise on his face.
"Uncle Liang, I want to come back and continue my studies," Zhou Chen said with a smile.
He was very familiar with the security guard, Grandpa Liang. During his lunch break at school, he would often come over to play chess with Grandpa Liang, and over time, they became close friends despite their age difference.
"You've finally come to your senses, kid. It's good that you're back. You have no idea how much your homeroom teacher regretted your decision to drop out of school."
Mentioning their homeroom teacher, a hint of shame and guilt flashed in Zhou Chen's eyes.
His homeroom teacher, Ms. Wu, was very kind to him. In order to prevent him from dropping out of school, she took the initiative to pay for his education to help him reduce the pressure and allow him to return to school and continue his studies.
At that time, he was single-mindedly focused on taking on the responsibility of being the eldest brother in the family and caring for his three younger siblings. If all four of them were in school, the burden would be too heavy, and there simply wouldn't be enough to cover their expenses.
Someone had to give up their studies, and as the eldest, he had no choice but to suspend his studies. Even though Teacher Wu visited him three times, hoping he would return, he still resolutely refused.
He's so stupid.
He had failed to live up to Teacher Wu's kindness, so much so that years later, when he saw Teacher Wu again, Teacher Wu held his hand, lamented his life, and felt that he shouldn't have lived such a terrible life.
