Zhou Yining’s smile grew even stronger,

“Why should I care about him? He’s not my son.

Besides, even if he was my son, he should be able to take care of himself at the age of 18. He’s so old and still hasn’t been weaned. It’s really embarrassing.”

Zhao Xiuna didn’t expect her usually well-behaved daughter to argue with her.

To prevent the siblings from arguing again, she quickly smoothed things over,

“Okay, okay, say less. Yining, go wash your hands quickly. It’s time to eat.”

Zhou Yining’s gaze swept coldly over Zhou Jiaming, and she turned to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Zhou Jiaming finished a game, and when he saw Zhou Yining go to the bathroom, he immediately started saying bad things about Zhou Yining,

“Mom, look at her. She took the wrong medicine. She started arguing with me as soon as she came back.”

“Okay, say less too. Your sister is going to be a senior soon. It’s normal for her to have a lot of pressure.”

Zhao Xiuna began to mediate.

“She has a lot of pressure? Her grade ranking is more than 900, and she’s at the bottom of the class. What pressure can she have?

Mom, you and Dad will still have to rely on me in the future. Look at Zhou Yining. Does she look like she can find a good job in the future?”

Zhou Jiaming babbled and counted Zhou Yining’s faults, not forgetting to show his diligence to Zhao Xiuna.

“Okay, I know my Jiaming is the most capable. Don’t argue with your sister.” Zhao Xiuna smiled gently at her son.

Zhou Yining rubbed the goosebumps on her arms.

This family loved their male baby too much.

When Zhao Xiuna saw Zhou Yining coming out, she quickly beckoned, “Come and sit down. I made your favorite stewed vegetables today.”

Zhou Yining was also hungry.

She had to eat one bite at a time, and she had to solve things one by one.

Zhou Yining sat down, and her gaze fell on the food on the table.

A large basin contained stewed cabbage and vermicelli, with two large meatballs on top.

There was also a plate of stir-fried shredded potatoes and a plate of stir-fried shredded cabbage with vinegar.

Zhou Jiaming was also impolite and took a big meatball right away.

Zhou Yining also took chopsticks to take the other meatball.

This time, Zhou Jiaming wouldn’t allow it,

“What are you doing? These two meatballs are mine.”

Zhou Yining was amused by his anger,

“Why? Does it have your name written on it? I’m going to eat it.”

Saying that, Zhou Yining took the only remaining meatball in the stewed vegetables into her bowl and took a bite.

Zhou Jiaming was about to explode.

He pointed his finger at Zhou Yining, “You, that’s mine. Zhou Yining, are you crazy?”

Saying that, he looked at Zhao Xiuna,

“Mom, didn’t you say that the two meatballs were mine?”

Zhao Xiuna also looked at Zhou Yining helplessly,

“Yining, didn’t you not like to eat meat before? I specially stir-fried shredded potatoes for you. Don’t you like potatoes the most?”

Zhou Yining was almost amused by her anger,

“Who doesn’t like to eat meat? Am I crazy? Besides, we’re not so poor that we need to beg for food on the streets, right? If everyone likes to eat it, you can make more meatballs. Why can he eat two? Just because he’s a boy? What era is this? Why are you still doing that favoring sons over daughters thing?”

“It’s not like that. I used to ask you, and you said you didn’t like to eat it and gave it to your brother. I thought you really didn’t like to eat it.” Zhao Xiuna’s face turned red, and her gaze towards Zhou Yining was a little evasive.

Zhou Yining was speechless, “Was I not liking to eat it? I was forced not to like to eat it.”

Zhou Jiaming saw that Zhou Yining’s arrogance was so arrogant today, and he immediately got angry, “Zhou Yining, are you sick? If you have anything, come at me, don’t yell at Mom.”

Zhou Yining sneered at him, “What can I do to you? You’re a mama’s boy. Do you think you can have any future?”

“Okay, stop arguing. Let’s eat properly. I’ll prepare everything for you in the future, Yining. Just give your mother a way out and stop arguing.”

Zhao Xiuna’s eyes were red, as if she was about to cry if Zhou Yining didn’t agree.

Zhou Yining only felt that Zhao Xiuna was inexplicable.

She didn’t value her daughter, but she acted as if she had been wronged.

Zhou Yining didn’t say anything and ate on her own.

She wasn’t the original owner and had no feelings for this family, so she wouldn’t be hurt too much.

But when Zhou Yining thought that the original owner had been living in such a family, she felt suffocated.

The original Zhou Yining was really miserable.

After eating, Zhao Xiuna urged Zhou Jiaming and Zhou Yining to rest.

Only then did Zhou Yining start to take a good look at this house.

The original owner’s house was about 65 square meters in size and had only two rooms.

One room belonged to Zhao Xiuna and her husband, and this room had a balcony.

The other room belonged to Zhou Jiaming.

Zhou Yining’s face turned cold.

There was only so much space, so where was the original owner’s room?

She wandered around the living room, and by the way, she turned off the recording function of the mobile phone and saved the recording from just now.

These recordings might be useful in the future.

Zhou Yining walked towards the kitchen, and when she passed the corner, Zhou Yining froze.

This place was originally a small dining room, but now it was placed with a single bed, and a desk was placed next to the single bed.

And in front of this place was the kitchen with heavy fumes, and on the left was Zhou Jiaming’s bedroom, which had neither a door nor a window.

It was completely open.

Zhou Yining’s lips curved into a smile.

She had never seen such parents.

She had no relatives in her previous life and grew up in an orphanage, but based on what she had seen so far, Zhou Yining felt that the environment in the orphanage was much better than Zhou’s family.

The original owner was almost eighteen years old.

A girl who was about to become an adult didn’t have her own room at home?

Zhou Yining couldn’t believe it.

When Zhao Xiuna saw her standing there, she remembered Zhou Yining’s abnormality today and quickly comforted her softly,

“Why are you still standing here? Go rest quickly, or it will be time to go to school again soon.”

Zhou Yining took a deep breath.

She nodded lightly and ignored Zhao Xiuna, climbing onto the single bed.

When she lay on the bed, Zhou Yining felt that the original owner was too difficult.

She just lay on it for a while and felt depressed, let alone the original owner who had lived in this family for 17 years.

How suffocated and submissive she must have been.

She, who wrote a cool novel about a big heroine, couldn’t stand it at all!

Zhou Yining’s current feeling was that she wanted to blow this place up.

Don’t mess with her.

When she went crazy, even the dogs passing by would be dragged over and bitten by her.

Of course, she was new here.

This was only the first day that Zhou Yining had come to this world.

She decided to stay put and figure out all the original owner’s situation first.

She would sort out these bad things one by one.

The justice that the original owner didn’t get would be obtained by her.

Thinking like this, Zhou Yining quickly fell asleep.

The lunch break was very short. Forty minutes later, Zhou Yining’s alarm rang.

She got up and washed her face, casually wiped on some facial cream, and then left home with her cross-body bag, which contained the diary.

Zhou Yining originally wanted to keep the diary at home, but she didn’t even have a room with a door, so the diary couldn’t be kept at home.

Now she could only carry it with her, but it was really inconvenient.

Zhou Yining walked towards the school, she came out early, so she wasn’t in a hurry.

She walked and looked around along the way.

When she was about to reach the school gate, Zhou Yining wanted to buy a cup of milk tea, but she touched her pocket, which was cleaner than her face.

Looking at the mobile phone app, it was also empty.

That’s right, the original owner’s family loved their male baby so much, so the money should have been used on that Zhou Jiaming’s trash body.

How could they give the original owner pocket money?

Zhou Yining was about to walk towards the school when Tian Xue called her from behind, “Zhou Yining, why didn’t you wait for me at the intersection today?”

Zhou Yining was stunned for a moment, then explained,

“I forgot, and we don’t go the same way to school, so there’s no need to wait for each other. It’s a waste of time.”

Tian Xue looked at Zhou Yining, “That’s right, what you said is right. Then let’s go together after school in the future. We’ll go our own way to school.”

“Okay, good.”  Zhou Yining actually wanted to walk alone after school.

Girls of this age still belonged to the age where they had to call their companions to go to the bathroom together, but Zhou Yining was 28 years old in her previous life, and she was no longer a little girl who needed someone to accompany her for everything.

“What’s wrong with you today? You’re weird. Let me treat you to milk tea.”

Tian Xue pulled Zhou Yining to the milk tea shop at the school gate.

Zhou Yining actually wanted to buy a cup just now.

The weather was hot, and it would be so comfortable to drink a cup of iced milk tea.

She thought she would buy it and pay Tian Xue back later.

Tian Xue pulled Zhou Yining into the store and asked, “What kind do you want to drink? Order whatever you want, it’s my treat.”

“Then I’ll have mint milk green, five points of sweetness.” Zhou Yining glanced at the price, which was 8 yuan, not expensive.

“Okay, then I want that peach one.” Tian Xue paid the money happily and then stood in the store and chatted with Zhou Yining.

She remembered what happened in the morning and asked, “Did you go to tutor English and math?”

Zhou Yining shook her head, “How is that possible? You should also know what my family is like.”

Zhou Yining didn’t say it explicitly, but she guessed that Tian Xue and the original owner were good friends, and Tian Xue should know the original owner’s family situation very well.

Sure enough, Tian Xue nodded, “That’s right, you also have a younger brother, so your family shouldn’t be able to afford to let you go to tutoring, so how did you suddenly become so good in the morning? You even dared to argue with Teacher Cao.”

“I don’t know, I just suddenly knew everything, and I wasn’t arguing with the English teacher. He looked down on me first and slandered me first.”

“Hey, we’re best friends. Can you tell me how you suddenly knew everything?”

Tian Xue’s originally lifeless eyes lit up, as if she really pinned her hopes on Zhou Yining.

Zhou Yining couldn’t tell her that she had changed her core, but she didn’t want Tian Xue to guess blindly,

“To be honest, there’s no shortcut to learning. You still have to learn it little by little into your brain, otherwise your grades can’t be improved.”

Tian Xue curled her lips, “In the end, you just don’t want to tell me.”
