Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!

Chapter 76 Go Home

Summer passed quickly. Yun Xi was about to start school, so she could not stay in the Zhou family’s old residence any longer. She had to quickly pack her luggage and go home to attend the school opening ceremony.

Old Master Zhou also wanted to keep his future daughter-in-law for a few more days, but considering that the children were about to start school, he could only let Yun Xi leave.

Before she left, in order to express his feelings, Old Master Zhou prepared many gifts for his future daughter-in-law. Among them were also gifts for his old friend.

“Enough, enough. If you add more, I won’t be able to take them back.”

Yun Xi looked at Old Master Zhou adding more gifts one by one. While she was grateful, she still wanted him to not go through so much trouble.

“It’s fine, it’s fine. If you can’t carry them, I’ll get this fella to help you take them back. I’ll send them directly to your village.”

As he said that, Old Master Zhou patted his son’s shoulder. He looked like he was about to give Zhou Lin a great responsibility.

“Grandpa, you’ve indeed prepared a little too much. Isn’t this too exaggerated?”

Zhou Mo, who was watching the show at the side, also began to “exhort” the old master.

“Go, go, go. There’s no place for you to speak to her. I treat you well, and yet you’re managing me now. This is outrageous!”

Old Master Zhou immediately reprimanded this useless grandson of his. Zhou Mo suffered a setback. He could not say anything and shut his mouth.

Nonetheless, if there was anyone in this room who was the most unhappy, it would be Yun Lian, who was sitting on the sofa. Her eyes were staring straight at the large and small bags of gifts. Yun Lian and Yun Xi were both children of the Yun family, yet Old Master Zhou only prepared many gifts for Yun Xi to bring back to her own family. Yun Lian had also made a trip here, but in the end, she could only return home empty-handed.

Firstly, Yun Lian was very unwilling. Secondly, she was afraid that her adoptive mother would beat and scold her.

“Dad, don’t add more. If you add more, I’m afraid even I won’t be able to carry them back.”

Zhou Lin also spoke in time, afraid that his father would go on and on.

It was not until he heard his son say the same thing that Old Master Zhou was willing to stop. Just as he stopped organizing the gift bags, Yun Lian was unwilling and began to stir up trouble again. “Brother Mo, I’m so envious that my sister can receive so many gifts, unlike me, who has nothing.”

It was meant for Zhou Mo to hear on the surface, but Yun Lian spoke so clearly that everyone present could hear her.

The expressions of the other members of the Zhou family also became extremely unsightly.

‘This little girl is really quite scheming,’ Old Master Zhou cursed internally.

Old Master Zhou did not want to argue with a junior, so he pretended not to hear it.

“Lianlian, don’t worry. You’ll definitely have these things in the future. I’ll buy them for you. In the future, you’ll have more than this, and they’ll be even better than this.” Zhou Mo was still studying. He did not have much money in his hands, so he could only make a verbal promise.

“Brother Mo, you’re so nice. However, if only I could be as lucky as my sister now. I believe I’ll be very respected when I return home.” Yun Lian continued to fan the flames. As she spoke, she secretly glanced at the gifts around her. It seemed like she also wanted these gifts.

“When we were young, our family was in a difficult situation, but my sister was especially good to me. She would always secretly leave some delicious food for me and my younger brother…”

As she said this, Yun Lian started to sob again. She put on a cheapskate act again to win Zhou Mo’s pity. Yun Xi thought about her past life again and felt that she was indeed foolish for being more lenient to her younger brother and sister just because she was an elder sister. She did not expect some people to be ungrateful. No matter how well she treated them in the past, they would turn around and bite her again. In this life, she would surely start again. She would not be merciful toward this cheap younger sister of hers.

“Oh, that was when I was young. I’m no longer the same as before.”

The meaning behind Yun Xi’s words was that she would not give Yun Lian a single thing even if she wanted them.
