Chapter 602: A Person's Heart Doesn't Grow Cold in a Single Day

~5 min read 844 words

Liu Chuxue did not even lift her head: "You love finding fault so much, even if I had prepared it I wouldn't bring it out — I don't want to cause myself trouble."

Don't tell me my little sister is still young and needs to be taught properly — sorry, Liu Chuxue doesn't have that kind of patience.

Originally, in the original plot, this little sister was dragged down by the original body's owner and suffered, ending up dying young — you could say she never had a single good day — so I thought I'd make up for it on behalf of the original body's owner.

But I never expected that the once rather cute little girl, after her living conditions improved, would turn into someone who can't tell right from wrong.

Whatever the reason, I can't stand it for even a moment.

I did take over the original owner's body, but not only did I help them change the trajectory of their fate, I also improved their living environment and quality of life in a short time — all that's left is to fulfill filial duties on behalf of the original owner.

As for sisters, if we get along I'll help out more; if you can't tell right from wrong, then go wherever it's cool and stay there.

She has no patience to play life mentor — after all, she doesn't have a saint's heart.

Chunxiao didn't expect her second sister to treat her like this in front of their parents: "You — you're going too far."

Liu Chuxue lifted her head and looked at her: "I haven't even paid you back in your own coin, and that's already too much? Day after day coming to me looking for trouble — where does your confidence come from?

We may be sisters born of the same mother, but I don't owe you anything. Even a clay figure has three parts of temper — from now on, if you speak to me in that snide, passive-aggressive way again, don't blame me for treating you like air."

These words were indeed heavy — not only was the little girl Chunxiao unable to bear it, even Father Liu and Mother Liu felt Liu Chuxue had gone too far.

Father Liu wanted to open his mouth to say something, but then thought it really was the little daughter's own doing: "Enough, look at the two of you — what kind of behavior is this? When have blood sisters ever refused to give way to each other? Chunxiao, your second sister's words may be harsh, but the reasoning is sound.

Toward you three sisters, your mother and I have always treated you equally. Your second sister's achievements today are the result of her own effort — I truly can't figure out what you have to be resentful about. You really shouldn't keep stirring up trouble."

Chunxiao, hearing her father say this: "It's only because she's done well that you want to protect her."

The moment she said this, even the usually good-tempered Father Liu's face darkened: "Can't you tell a kind word from a harsh one?

Did I say anything wrong? Wasn't it every single time you who started the trouble first?"

Chunxiao's eyes reddened; she looked toward Mother Liu, hoping she'd speak up for her.

But Mother Liu also felt the little daughter truly didn't understand things now: "Don't look at me — ever since we split from the old family home, how has your second sister treated this family, how has she treated you and your eldest sister? Can't you see? What more do you want from her?

You think we're favoring her, but when your father had that big incident back then — when even I was at sixes and sevens — it was she, a little girl, who stepped up and took the load, just so your father could rest easy. A young Miss like her went to Shichahai every day, not afraid of others laughing at her, not afraid of getting dirty, fishing there and trading with the cafeteria for money and tickets.

If it hadn't been for your second sister back then, your father's leg wouldn't have healed — do you understand? I really can't figure it out — now that the good days have come, how have you changed?"

Chunxiao, hearing this, lowered her head: "Second Sister, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have thrown a little tantrum."

A flash of contempt crossed Liu Chuxue's eyes — she came from a later era, and had no patience for people who hurt others and only know how to say 'sorry.'

She glanced at Father Liu and Mother Liu, then turned to look at Chunxiao: "You're twelve years old, you should be able to tell right from wrong. I'm only five years older than you. Don't think that every time you hurt someone, a worthless 'sorry' is enough to make them forgive you. A person's heart doesn't grow cold in a single day. We're only sisters — I have no obligation to keep indulging you."
