The Female Cannon Fodder With Boundless Merits-Chapter 1368 - 1381: The Eldest Sister as Mother (25)

Chapter 1368: Chapter 1381: The Eldest Sister as Mother (25)

Twenty years have passed, and when I think back on those events from my past life, it feels like a dream I conjured up.

Sometimes I even question myself: Did those things really happen? Why do they feel so unreal?

After staying in the room for a while, Su Qing hunched his back, and when the woman in the kitchen wasn’t looking, he quickly slipped out.

He had to ask, seeing him in this state now, would Su Li feel any guilt?

Once the luxury cars in the open space had left, Su Qing scratched his calf hard, which was covered in mosquito bites.

Just as Su Qing emerged from hiding under the big tree, he met Su Li’s gaze.

Su Qing’s eyes widened, a torrent of resentment filling them.

Why can she live so comfortably, with such peace of mind?

All these years, he kept thinking about why he ended up in this miserable state.

Now, he finally figured it out...because of Su Li, because of their elder sister.

Because of her changes, Su Nian, who could have been a great CEO or scientist, can only now dwell in the muddy fields.

"Do you think it’s my fault? That you didn’t become a CEO?"

"If that’s what you think, you’re not entirely wrong. I could have supported you all to achieve great things, that was my ability, and someone else could have done the same."

"Now, Yuan Qi is the CEO of Su Yuan Group, Yuan Wei and Yuan Zhi, one is an international movie star, the other a famous painter, and the youngest, even greater... Better than all of you in your past life, and...knows gratitude."

"People who know gratitude are destined to go further than ungrateful ones."

Su Qing looked as if he had seen a ghost, stumbling back a few steps in terror, "How, how is it possible.... You and I, we’re the same...."

In shock, Su Qing completely forgot what he came for and ran off in a panic.

His mind was in chaos, never expecting their elder sister was also someone who came over from the past life like them.

This explained why she no longer bothered with them.

In her shoes, he wouldn’t be happy supporting a few ungrateful wretches either.

Only today did Su Qing admit the callousness and indifference among their siblings. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

To say in the beginning, he was full of ambition, but after being harshly beaten by reality repeatedly, he just wanted to muddle along.

Climbing without powerful support behind him was indeed too exhausting.

After moving into Yu Guang’s family, he still had many thoughts.

Study, excel... Knowing the course of history in advance, he could seize opportunities faster than others.

Unfortunately, he never imagined he wouldn’t even make it out of this small village.

When he expressed a desire to attend school, the seemingly kind Uncle Yu Guang was adamant about forcing him to work in the fields.

"A filial son is made under the stick," didn’t want to, then you’ll be beaten until you comply.

The purpose of adopting him into Yu Guang’s family was to have a son to support them in their old age.

So naturally, they wouldn’t let him stray too far from them.

They kept a close watch on him, even pushed him into marrying a village girl, and now his kids had grown up, almost at marrying age... They never slackened their vigilance over him.

Being watched over in the countryside for so many years had long ground down his ambitious thoughts.

Not just him; as far as he knew, Su Nian faced the same, even in a harder situation than himself.

After all, Yu Guang’s family had no boys, whereas the family that adopted Su Nian had several sons.

Raising Su Nian brought nothing good but cost them some grain, tremendously losing profit.

If it weren’t for the pressure from the Village Secretary, they would have wanted to kick Su Nian out long ago.

Su Qing thought in a daze, did their elder sister give them a chance in the beginning?

If they had followed their sister’s guidance without complaint, would she not have abandoned them? If not abandoned, the position Yuan Qi and others hold now should have been theirs.

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy Su Qing felt in his heart.

But the more uneasy, the more his mind spiraled into wild imaginings.

Soon, in Su Family Village, there was a madman claiming to be a great CEO, a successful person.

------------

After leaving this world, Su Li felt a stirring in her heart and casually glanced towards a certain space in the void.

Following the karmic lines remaining on the original owner, she saw two ordinary women, diligently managing a small breakfast shop, accompanied by two children about ten years old.

Their weathered faces looked the same as any woman in the marketplace, showing only exhaustion and deep numbness.

Only from the gradually blossoming delicate features of the little girl beside them could one tell her mother might have been quite beautiful in her youth.

Seemingly unchanged, the two women lifted their heads, gazing at the vast blue sky, unable to return to their senses for a long time.

"Boss, boss, are you back already...."

"Ah, sorry," Su Mo smiled apologetically and quickly prepared a delicious rice ball for the customer.

Her skills had greatly improved over the years but only compared to her past life.

What she made was passably edible.

So, her stall’s business wasn’t great but not too bad either, mainly due to low prices. Accordingly, she didn’t earn much, only enough to barely support herself and her sister, plus their children.

Su Bing still wanted to return to her former career.

But in the arts...

For instance, a celebrity’s doodles might be auctioned for tens of thousands, or even millions, but a portrait could be priced at one hundred yuan, and still, people might find it expensive.

Furthermore, after years of practice, Su Bing’s hand was no longer as stable as it once was.

After several setbacks, she no longer hoped for it, finding it more reliable to earn money honestly since they all needed to eat.

Back then, after they were trafficked away, they became child brides in the mountains for several years, only spared from harm due to their young age. Later, fortunately, someone rescued them.

But by then, they were already in their teens.

Trying to continue their past life’s path, they realized it wasn’t that easy. After hitting several walls, they dejectedly found men to marry.

Do you think they didn’t want to find a wealthy man? Who wouldn’t want a step to the sky?

But without the bright aura of beauty and high education from their past life, with no diploma, no looks, no figure, even families with slightly better conditions didn’t want them.

Only then did they understand that their elder sister had cared for them too well in their past life.

It was only after raising their children did they realize how difficult it was to raise even one child, let alone the fact that their elder sister had supported all four of them through college, one after another.

Regret... Maybe even God couldn’t tolerate it; getting a second chance wasn’t due to luck but a punishment for their collective ingratitude.
