To reduce expenses, I keep track of how much I spend each day and never exceed my plan.
To ensure that I have enough money until I graduate.
But when Zhou Chuan came asking for money, Zhou Na, as the older sister, couldn't refuse, especially since she had previously said that the three siblings should help and support each other.
Zhou Na recalled the old days when neither Zhou Ling nor Zhou Chuan would ask Zhou Chen for money when they were short of cash, including herself.
What was Zhou Chen thinking when he gave the money to the three siblings?
They must be even more annoyed than she is, having their hard-earned money spent on others, especially siblings they know aren't related by blood. They must be extremely unhappy about it.
Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he proposed to separate the family, sever all ties, and no longer want to take on any responsibility.
Zhou Na believed she had guessed Zhou Chen's thoughts.
She felt that she was more responsible than Zhou Chen and not as cold-blooded as Zhou Chen. Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were both her own younger sister and younger brother, and she would fulfill her responsibilities as an older sister.
Zhou Na didn't know,
As Zhou Chuan repeatedly reached into his pocket to ask for money, she began to find it unbearable.
Zhou Chuan, addicted to internet cafes, only thought about spending all his time there, wishing he could eat and live there. As for working and earning money, he could talk about it but never took any action.
Because he knew he had two older sisters he could rely on.
On this day,
Zhao Kun witnessed Zhou Chuan running to Zhou Ling's stall again to ask for money.
When Zhou Ling realized that she had been caught by Zhao Kun secretly giving him money, she quickly apologized: "Brother Kun, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you, but he's my brother. He can't afford to eat, and as his older sister, I can't just ignore him. Besides, my fourth brother is just borrowing from us, and he will definitely pay us back in the future."
“Zhou Ling, that money was saved for your wedding and to raise our unborn son. You gave it away without my permission. You have disappointed me greatly. You must have given him money more than once, right?”
Zhao Kun was furious, his face dark with anger. He hadn't even had a chance to spend his own family's money; instead, his spendthrift wife was giving it to outsiders.
This is absolutely outrageous!
Knowing she was in the wrong, Zhou Ling lowered her head and kept saying sorry.
“You want to be a good older sister, that’s fine, but don’t forget, you’re a member of the Zhao family now, we’re one family. And you’re not the only one in your family, you have your second sister too. Let your brother go ask her for money.”
Zhao Kun's words left Zhou Ling with no choice but to repeatedly assure her that the money was a loan to Zhou Chuan and that she would definitely repay it in the future.
"He can only pay back the money if the sun rises in the west. He doesn't even have a job, so how can he pay it back?"
Zhao Kun was argumentative and wouldn't back down once he got the point.
Zhou Ling bit her lip, speechless.
It's all because Zhou Chuan is so useless.
At this moment, Zhou Ling regretted it. Why had she kept giving Zhou Chuan money, causing Xiao Kun to become furious and angry with her?
She's just the third sister, not the eldest in the family. Zhou Chuan should be asking Zhou Na for the money.
Zhou Ling was unaware that every time Zhou Chuan went to ask her for money, he would then go to ask Zhou Na for money as well, leaving neither of his two older sisters out.
Faced with Zhou Chuan's various reasons for asking for money,
If Zhou Na believed it at first, she stopped believing it after taking out five hundred yuan in succession.
This time,
She didn't give him any more money, but instead reprimanded him sternly.
As the eldest brother is like a father and the eldest sister is like a mother, she believes that Zhou Chuan can no longer be spoiled. She must take a stand and teach Zhou Chuan to support himself instead of constantly taking money from her.
Training ended in the afternoon.
After Zhou Chen returned to the classroom, Li Kaile came over and told him that he had seen Zhou Chuan come to Zhou Na to ask for money.
Hearing this, Zhou Chen was not surprised at all.
Zhou Chuan is a good-for-nothing who has been spoiled and pampered. Everyone used to indulge him and pamper him, which fostered his lazy and irresponsible personality. Asking for money is just a daily occurrence for him.
In his previous life, he not only gave Zhou Chuan money, but also cleaned up his messes and solved his problems.
Now that he has separated from the family early on, revealed the truth about his background, and completely severed ties with the others, all the things he used to do have fallen on Zhou Na, the eldest sister.
It's true what they say, fortunes really do turn around, and this year it's my turn.
Hearing Zhou Na scold Zhou Chuan with a dark face, Zhou Chuan became impatient and turned to leave. Zhou Chen really wanted to laugh. He wanted to ask Zhou Na how she felt about taking on the responsibility of being an older sister.
In terms of selfishness and indifference, Zhou Na is the most selfish and cold-hearted of the three siblings.
Although Zhou Ling is love-struck, she's not as good as Zhou Na.
Zhou Na likes to stand on a moral high ground and look at people and things. In his previous life, he wanted Zhou Chuan to learn to be self-reliant, but Zhou Na spoke without thinking, saying that Zhou Chuan was still young and making all sorts of excuses.
Now that it's you, Zhou Na, in charge, how come you're lecturing people? This time, don't say Zhou Chuan is too young; you really don't know the pain until you experience it yourself.
Now you know how he felt in his previous life, right?
A cold smile crept across Zhou Chen's lips.
It's still a long way off.
In the future, when Zhou Na is in a state of utter chaos, he'd like to see when her double standards will be fully revealed.
The matter of the three siblings is just a trivial matter to Zhou Chen now; he treats it as a spice of life and something to have fun about.
As luck would have it, it happened after school.
Zhou Chen ran into Zhou Na.
Zhou Na also saw him, then quickly looked away.
The two did not greet each other, passing each other in the corridor like strangers.
On her way back to the dormitory from the teaching building, Zhou Na suddenly stopped. She turned around and looked in the direction where Zhou Chen had disappeared.
His eyes held a complex expression.
Zhou Na felt the blatant disregard Zhou Chen had shown her, as if he were ignoring her completely.
In Zhou Chen's eyes, there was no emotional fluctuation, as if the two were truly strangers.
"The three of us can still live well without you."
"We won't let you see us make a fool of yourself."
Zhou Na hugged the books in her arms tightly, her eyes filled with indifference, and turned to continue walking towards the dormitory.
She has her pride; if Zhou Chen can be so resolute, she can be just as decisive.
Even if you, Zhou Chen, win honors in sports competitions and receive awards throughout the school, so what? The school judges by results. As long as Zhou Na can get first place in the whole school, she is the best, someone you, Zhou Chen, can only look up to.
She wanted to leave Zhou Chen far behind in terms of grades.
This made it impossible for Zhou Chen to catch up or surpass him.
Zhou Chen, riding his bicycle home, yawned.
He rubbed his nose, wondering if it was Zhou Na, that ungrateful wretch, nagging him again, since they had run into each other after school.
Just then,
The phone in my pocket vibrated.
Zhou Chen was slightly taken aback when he saw the caller ID.
The one who thinks of him fondly is her.
That said, what did Sun Wanying want when she called?
With doubts in my mind, I pressed the answer button.
"Hello……"
"It's me, Sun Wanying."
