Chapter 99 A Wake-Up Call



Throughout the journey, Liu Shihua was not in a very good mood, wondering why her mother always scolded and beat them so easily, while spoiling her younger brother so much.

Come to think of it, he had never really thought about these things before, but now, he finds himself thinking about them a little more without realizing it.

"Shihua, don't think too much. Focusing on your studies is the most important thing," Wang Guangjie said, trying to comfort him when he saw that he wasn't in a good mood.

He often heard his father say that when a person is in a weak position, anyone can step on them, but when you gradually grow to be so outstanding that others can no longer step on you, the situation changes completely.

He thought that once Shihua got a good job and was able to earn money to support the family, perhaps Aunt Liu wouldn't treat him like this anymore.

Unfortunately, he was just a teenager, how could he know Zhang Sumei's true thoughts?

She was the last person who wanted to see the twins succeed!

Of course, this was just her inner thought; otherwise, she wouldn't have been constantly opposing and restricting their reading.

Unfortunately, her husband and eldest son were determined to send them to school, and there was nothing she could do at that time.

Since the eldest son paid for it, and her husband also helped out, she had no choice but to accept it even if she was unhappy.

Now that this has happened, she finally got a chance to stop them from studying, but they caused so much trouble and even made money, ruining her plans once again.

Considering they brought so much stuff and money, and given their prior agreement, she couldn't go back on her word, but...

A ruthless glint flashed in Zhang Sumei's eyes. Since the opportunity was right in front of her, she would be letting down her lucky son who had created this opportunity for her if she didn't take it.

After finishing up what was going on in the cave, Liu Shile leisurely strolled through the mountains and forests, occasionally bringing back any rare items she saw to the farm.

To her delight, she even found a beehive. Without a second thought, she brought them into the farm, thinking that she would soon have bees to eat, and her eyes crinkled into a smile.

Actually, once the farm reaches a certain level, you can unlock the beehive, but unfortunately, the farm level can't be upgraded in a short time, so she can only be self-sufficient.

Occasionally, she would catch some pheasants and rabbits to take to the farm. Anyway, they were as slow as tortoises in front of her, and catching them didn't take much effort.

She had heard from the old people that pine trees produce pine nuts, but she searched the forest for a long time and didn't find any pine nuts.

Later she realized that what they were talking about was the great forests of the north. She wondered if she should find an opportunity to go north and see for herself, and maybe plant some on a farm so that she wouldn't lack these snacks in the future.

But the transportation in this era is really a headache; it's slow and bumpy, which she doesn't like at all.

"Sigh, if only I could be like a space-type ability user, who could instantly go wherever I wanted as long as my mental strength was strong enough."

She said it without even realizing it while she was on the farm.

Then, she heard the long-lost voice of the system: "Strive to upgrade, anything is possible."

Liu Shile's eyes widened as she asked the system what it meant, but the system remained silent.

She was speechless. She felt that the system was quite elusive. Well, it was really powerful. She, Liu Shile, couldn't afford to mess with it.

However, the system's words made Liu Shile quite tempted. When she reached level 100 before, she had drawn a power-type ability.

When I reached level 200, I won the villa in the draw; when I reached level 300, I didn't have time to draw it and chose to self-destruct.

If she reaches such a high level again now, she should be able to enter the lottery, right?

Looking at the time, it was getting late, so Liu Shile walked along thinking. When she arrived, she heard meowing.

A big smile immediately appeared on her face. "Second Brother brought Meow Meow with me this time. I wonder if it's hungry today."

After she finished speaking, she noticed that her second brother's expression was not good, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "Second brother, what's wrong?"

The first time he looked unwell was because something happened with his older sister. What about this time?

Before her brother and the others could speak, Wang Guangying pulled Liu Shile aside and recounted to her what had happened on their way back.

Then he shook his head and said, "Your little brother is such a troublemaker. I don't know why he insists on catching the cat."

The cat was so cute, lying there obediently the whole way, looking both adorable and harmless.

Little did she know that a fierce cat could be quite formidable, but it was clever enough not to reveal its true nature to her.

Liu Shile secretly raised her eyebrows. Well, that brat Liu Shiping actually bullied her Miaomiao while she was away. She'll remember this.

As for her second brother, Liu Shile didn't intend to persuade him. She let him think it over carefully, as it was important for his future path in life.

So she just said "Oh" and didn't say anything more, but said, "Let's carry these bundles of firewood back together, it's getting late."

Liu Shiyue and her brother went up the mountain early in the morning. This was Liu Shihua's fourth time going up the mountain, including the first time. They wanted to go back early to avoid walking in the dark.

"Lele, aren't you going to try to persuade your second brother?" Wang Guangying was a little surprised that her best friend wasn't even trying to persuade her brother. She nudged her quietly and asked.

Liu Shile shook her head, "My second brother is an adult now, and there are some things he has to think about on his own before he can do them."

As you all know, my eldest brother is said to have gone missing, my mother can't do heavy work, my father injured his leg, my third brother is so fierce, and my youngest brother is also in poor health.

In the future, the family will probably have to rely on my eldest sister, my second brother, and me. But my eldest sister is getting old and may get married at any time, so it will just be my second brother and me in the family.

If my second brother can't support this family, then who can? I can't be the one to support it, can I?

When Liu Shile said this, her voice was quite loud, so that Wang Guangjie and Liu Shihua, who were a little far away, could hear it clearly.

Liu Shihua felt a chill run down his spine. Indeed, he was now the pillar of his family. If he couldn't figure things out for half a day over such a small matter, what would he do when faced with a major crisis in the future?

So his expression straightened, and immediately, his previously listless appearance became much more energetic.

Wang Guangjie turned his head and glanced at the girl with a slight upturn at the corner of her mouth. He gave her a thumbs up in his heart. This girl is amazing. She woke up his brother with just a few words. She's really good.

In fact, her changes were the most significant, both in her spirit and her mindset.

He remembered that the little girl never smiled so confidently before; her smiles were always gentle and soft, which were pretty, but not nearly as lively and vibrant as they were now.

I heard that she was seriously ill before. Her sister said that she almost died. Perhaps it was because of this, as well as the changes in the family, that she underwent such a big change.
