Chapter 293 You Have to Be Yourself First

Zhou Nan shook her head, her eyes calm. It had been many years since the incident, and she had long since let it go and forgiven herself.

"Well, I am a selfish and ungrateful person with no conscience, so what?"

"Every day in the senior year of high school cannot be wasted, so I don't want to waste those two hours on my brother who has poor grades. He is not smart and can't be taught no matter how hard I try. I use these two hours for myself so that I can get into a better university."

At that time, there was only one month left before the college entrance examination.

When she got home, she had to help her brother with his studies, so she had no time to read properly at home.

Originally she was just confused, even though she knew her parents' arrangement was wrong.

But she didn't know what the problem was.

The pressure of the approaching college entrance examination, the pressure that her younger brother must be in the top 20 in the class, and the cold faces and accusations that her parents always had when facing her, all made her feel suffocated.

At that time, she felt that the string in her head was about to break at any time.

Until one day when she was going home, she passed by a big screen in a shopping mall and saw a video of Wen Li playing the piano.

The lights from the stage shone on Wen Li.

She was wearing a white strapless long dress covered with stars, and the moment the light hit her, she just raised her head and smiled at the camera.

At that moment, Zhou Nan felt that the fatigue he had been feeling in recent days was suddenly relieved.

She couldn't help but smile at the big screen.

After returning home, Zhou Nan subconsciously took out his brother's old tablet and searched for Wen Li's name.

When Wen Li was participating in a country variety show, she said something to a girl who wanted to drop out of school and get married early for her younger brother.

——You must first be yourself, then a sister, a wife, or even a mother.

To be yourself first——

This simple sentence was difficult to understand for Zhou Nan at that time.

But it didn't stop her from writing down the words.

The girl being comforted by Wen Li was not very old, only sixteen years old.

The girl looked confused and didn't understand what this meant.

Wen Li asked her gently, "Do you want to go to school?"

At that time, the girl nodded like crazy, her eyes red.

Of course she wants to go to school.

But in a small mountain village like theirs, only a few girls can finish high school.

The money in the family is saved for my younger brother's schooling.

When a family can only allow one child to go to college, in most cases the daughter is not the one chosen, no matter how good her grades are.

Wen Li whispered at the time, "I can help you finish college, but the prerequisite is that you are willing and you have to be able to stand on your own feet."

"Are you willing to make plans for yourself? Do you want to go to school? Or do you want to get married?"

The girl's face was full of tears, and she grabbed Wen Li's sleeve tightly, "Sister, I want to go to school!"

Wen Li nodded gently and wiped the tears from her face.

"Well, don't cry. Remember, you come first. If you don't make plans for yourself, no one will make plans for you, understand?"

The girl nodded, choking with sobs.

This is clearly a very heartwarming variety show scene.

Perhaps some of Wen Li's words and deeds will also bring criticism from some people.

But overall, the scene is still touching.

As a female star, Wen Li pulled a girl who might have fallen into the quagmire out of it, giving her a completely different life.

But when Zhou Nan looked at it, he felt a chill all over his body.

Even though the weather was hot, she felt a layer of cold sweat on her back, freezing from her skin to her bones.

——If you don’t make plans for yourself, no one will make plans for you.

Zhou Nan kept repeating these words in his mind. He was breathing heavily and drops of cold sweat were dripping from his forehead.

She lifted a corner of the mask of self-deception and asked herself in her heart, in the eyes of her parents, which is more important, her college entrance examination or her brother's ordinary test.

The answer she got made her heart ache.

No need to ask.

If her parents cared a little about her future, they would not force her to waste two hours tutoring her younger brother when she is about to take the college entrance examination.

From that day on, Zhou Nan locked the door as soon as she got home. No matter how her parents scolded and blamed her outside, she just put on her headphones, listened to music and took advantage of the time to review.

She must seize the final sprint time and take her destiny into her own hands.

During that time, her parents looked at her with hatred.

Her brother also looked at her with resentment.

During that period when her family didn't understand her, Wen Li's smile and music supported her through those lonely days.

"Why do you say your brother is not smart? He is just a late bloomer. Don't look down on a poor young man!"

Zhou Jian frowned and lectured Zhou Nan with a stern face.

It turns out that girls belong to other people sooner or later. When they grow up, they don't become grateful, but instead become enemies.

"If you hadn't been so selfish and only cared about yourself, your brother's grades wouldn't have declined later."

"He could have been admitted to a very good university, but you delayed him."

Netizens: “???”

[Did I hear you right? You guys, you let your daughter who is about to take the college entrance exam sacrifice her own study time for your son's tutoring, just for your son's unimportant exam, are you crazy? ]

[666, Yaozu blames Pandi for not being able to get into a good university. The prince's mother and father simply refreshed my worldview! ]

【He also said don’t look down on the poor young people, hahahahahahahaha! 】

[Don’t despise the poor young, don’t despise the poor middle-aged, don’t despise the poor old, the dead are the greatest! ]

Zhou Nan looked at them calmly, "Theoretically, it does have something to do with me. After all, you didn't want me to go to college at that time."

After all, they wanted her to work in a factory owned by a distant relative.

She refused to agree no matter what, and they directly threatened not to give her a penny for living expenses.

Of course, I didn’t give it to him later.

She was able to complete college thanks to her part-time job, student loans, and scholarships from the school.

Later, she learned a lot of skills in the Wenli fan circle and made a small amount of money online.

Whenever she couldn't bear it anymore, she would look at Wen Li's smile and she would be encouraged to grit her teeth and get through it.

Zhou's father and mother looked at her in disbelief.

"Since you know that you have affected your brother, how can you still feel at ease and have no guilt?!"

They didn't think there was anything wrong with what they did.

When the family's money is not enough to support two children's education, one of them has to be given up.

Zhou Nan is the older sister and should give way to her younger brother.

It was just that Zhou Nan was too cruel. She didn't care about her brother's life or death and went to study far away alone. When they wanted to find her, they didn't know where her school was.

Netizens are going crazy over this weird comment.

[What the hell! Is this the retribution for slacking off at work today?]

[If I did something wrong, please punish me by law instead of letting me see these weird parents! ]

[To be honest, although her parents were wrong in this matter, she was not a good person either because she ignored her sick father because she wanted to watch her idol! ]
