"Xiaoshuang, our family is poor, and we still have to support all three of you siblings through school. Your parents have it tough too. You're the eldest sister, you need to be sensible. Don't continue high school, why don't you come to the big city with your dad to work?"
Yu Shuang had just accepted the body when she heard a woman give her a long and earnest piece of advice.
Her head was slightly lowered, half of her face was hidden in shadow, making it impossible to discern her emotions.
After a long silence, he said firmly:
"It is precisely because we are poor that we need to study more. I will not drop out of school to work."
The woman probably didn't expect Yu Shuang to refuse, and after a moment of stunned silence, she said angrily:
"How can you be so inconsiderate? Can't you understand the difficulties your parents face? It's so hard for your parents to support the three of you through school. You're all grown up now; it's time for you to share some of the burden with the family..."
Yu Shuang asked in confusion, "If you can't afford it, why have three children?"
The woman choked for a moment.
Of course, raising children is for old age security.
What's wrong with my eldest daughter today? She keeps contradicting me, she's really gone too far!
Her face immediately hardened, and she adopted the absolute authority of a parent, issuing an ultimatum.
"In short, you're not allowed to go to school anymore. Tomorrow you'll go to the city with your dad to work."
The tone is commanding, not persuading.
She turned and left without giving any room for argument.
Yu Shuang ignored the two little ones watching the show and silently absorbed the plot.
The original owner of this body, Yu Shuang, is the eldest sister in this family and is currently in the stage of graduating from junior high school and about to enter high school.
With excellent grades, he has been admitted to a top high school.
My second sister, Yu Xue, graduated from elementary school and will soon be going to junior high school; her grades are quite good.
My younger brother, Yu Zihao, is still in elementary school, but he's the worst student in his class.
My family was never well-off when I was young, and my parents were willing to pay fines to have a second or third child.
Eventually, her younger brother was born, and she was pampered and spoiled from a young age, becoming the local tyrant of the family.
As the eldest sister in her family, the original owner was the most sensible and obedient. From a young age, she helped with housework and took care of her younger siblings for her mother.
After entering junior high school, he received scholarships every year due to his excellent grades, which greatly reduced the burden on his family. He was the kind of child that other children admired.
But after graduating from junior high school, her parents wouldn't let her continue her studies and instead sent her to work in a big city.
The original owner felt sorry for her parents' hard work, and also couldn't bear to see her younger siblings unable to go to school at such a young age.
Helpless, she could only obediently sacrifice herself to make her younger siblings happy.
She was not yet 16 years old when she went to the city to work with her father.
Because of his age, he couldn't find a regular job. So he took a job at a relative's restaurant under the guise of helping out at home.
Food and lodging were provided, and the profits went directly to Mr. Yu.
He worked at a relative's house for half a year, and after he turned 16, his father used his connections to get him a job in a factory.
The original owner worked diligently in the factory, and all the money she earned, except for her own necessary living expenses, went to her family.
A few years later, she fell in love with an honest young man from the factory.
The young man's family was poor and couldn't afford the bride price, so Mr. and Mrs. Yu naturally disagreed with the marriage.
They arranged a blind date for the original owner with a family that ran a business.
Although the man's appearance did not conform to contemporary aesthetic standards, he was able to offer an exorbitant dowry.
Then, Yu's father broke his leg at the construction site and could no longer work, losing his job and leaving the family without a source of income.
The original owner's docile habits, cultivated from childhood, prevented her from ever disobeying her parents' orders.
She broke up with her current boyfriend with tears in her eyes and married a rich but ugly man.
Even after she got married and started a new family, Yu's mother still had to ask her for money.
Because his younger siblings needed to go to school, and because his father couldn't work and couldn't earn money.
Besides their eldest daughter, who married into a good family, who else could they rely on?
The original owner's status in her husband's family plummeted.
She was scorned because of a family that leeched off her.
Her in-laws and even her husband all find fault with her.
With no sign of pregnancy for a long time, the original owner's situation in her husband's family became increasingly difficult.
Ultimately, her husband had a child outside the marriage, and the mistress wanted to take her place. The original owner was kicked out of her husband's family and left with nothing.
The original owner was soft-hearted and easily manipulated, and didn't know how to fight for her own interests, so she slunk back to her parents' home.
Yu's father and mother, who had broken their legs, came to the husband's house to make a scene, saying that it was marital property and that there was no reason to drive him away without giving him anything.
The groom's side wasn't intimidated. They produced an IOU as evidence and demanded that the groom return the bride price.
The two sides argued endlessly, and the matter even went to court.
Even the most upright official finds it difficult to settle family disputes, but the IOU signed by the original owner is indeed valid.
As for the bride price and the marital property accumulated over the past two years, both sides should compromise.
Because of the IOU, Mr. and Mrs. Yu were extremely disappointed in the original owner of this body, and they scolded them for giving birth to such an idiot!
They ruthlessly pushed away the debts on the IOUs.
The original owner signed the document, so they should bear the responsibility.
The original owner was exhausted and just wanted to get away from all the troubles and go to a big city to work.
In the days to come, he will not only have to pay off his debts, but also support his family and pay for his younger siblings' college education.
Because she's such a bottomless pit, no one dares to get to know her any further.
My second sister graduated and moved into her small, run-down rented room after finding a job. Even after she got a stable job, she showed no intention of leaving.
Rent is expensive in big cities, so staying with my older sister can save me a lot of money.
My younger brother, Yu Zihao, failed to get into university after high school and ended up in a junior college.
Unable to find a job after graduating from junior college, he moved into the original owner's cramped rental apartment.
Fearing that her younger brother would suffer or have a bad life, her parents from her hometown came to the big city, and the family of five squeezed into the original owner's single rented room.
