Chapter 457

This woman... is an out-and-out lunatic!!!

To achieve her goals, she stops at nothing, not even taking her own life seriously!!!

Can I really outmatch her...

Chu Ling swallowed hard. For a fleeting moment, she felt a sense of dread toward the ruthless Tang Rou.

Just then, she recalled the inner thoughts of Lin Xuan she had overheard.

[My foolish cousin~~~]

If it were before, Chu Ling would certainly have felt depressed and angry at being insulted.

But at this moment, the "foolish" cousin felt no shame, but rather pride. (??????)??

In an instant, she was full of spirit and vigor once again.

Hmph, ╭(╯^╰)╮~~~

I am a special existence chosen by the heavens, a chosen one; how could a mere green tea bitch possibly do anything to me?!

With my golden-finger cousin by my side, the world is mine!!!!

Day 4 of self-discipline! [Barely better than the first three days; in truth, it’s still far from disciplined enough. At this intensity, I can't become a real man!!!]

Woke up at eight this morning, dawdled my way to the small park, and ran for about 15 minutes, almost exhausted like a dog.

I haven't run in too long. It felt like my legs were itching uncontrollably while running; it was agonizing...

Did 10 sit-ups. Let's see if I can increase it to 20 tomorrow, and add some push-ups too. I must strive for at least a six-pack, even if I can't get an eight-pack...

Someone recommended I find time to learn the Eight Brocades from Bilibili, and try the Vajra Skill too!!!

Sigh, my wife says I'm a "thin dog," that I'm too short! It pisses me off, o(╥﹏╥)o sorrow flows like a river...

The super tiny park in the village is filled with elderly ladies doing health exercises every day...

Breakfast! An 11-yuan mushroom and fresh pork wonton plus a 1.5-yuan tea egg.

We worshipped the gods in our village again tonight; it counts as the last time for this period.

The aftershocks of the New Year... can be considered completely over now. Everyone has to return to their normal school and work routines.

Hehe →_→, is there anyone who didn't do their winter break homework? Back in the day, I never finished my winter or summer homework, didn't even bother to make it up...

Sigh, so fast! It really feels so fast. I barely went out to play this year; every day was either lying flat at home or typing...

Still so many people worshipping the gods~~~ Ancestors bless us.

Our offerings.

It seems if you donate a certain amount—don't know if it's thousands or tens of thousands—to the ancestral hall, you get one of these giant plaques with the donor's name on it. A must-have for showing off!

Shadow puppetry.

Only the elderly watch it now, sitting inside.

Does this count as intangible cultural heritage? Sigh, basically no one watches it...

The fireworks show begins. Those who had sons this year all buy fireworks to celebrate! If they had girls, they don't. Some might say it's favoring boys over girls, but I can only say that's the custom!

The moment the fireworks pause in the sky, beautiful~~~ I took so many, it wouldn't be too much to ask for some gifts, right! You know what I mean (??????)??~~~

Tang family, at the foot of the stairs.

Seeing Tang Rou slowly regain consciousness, Tang Chuan finally felt temporarily at ease.

But catching a glimpse of Chu Ling standing foolishly on the stairs looking at them, his anger flared, and he called her by name.

"Chu Ling!!! Can you really not tolerate Xiao Rou that much?!"

"To be so snake-hearted as to push her down the stairs???"

"If it weren't for Xiao Rou's good fortune, the consequences now... would be simply unthinkable!!!"

"Your behavior is attempted murder. I could completely call the police and have you thrown in jail, do you understand? You murderer!!!"

"What are you still standing there for? |_?) Hurry up and get down here to beg for Xiao Rou's forgiveness!"

"........"

Tang Chuan was truly enraged, berating Chu Ling relentlessly.

He couldn't imagine if Tang Rou had been slightly less lucky and hit a fatal spot like the back of her head, would she even be alive now???

To the side.

Mr. and Mrs. Tang Guoan looked grim and said nothing. They didn't speak up for Chu Ling, whom they had just brought home, letting Tang Chuan scold her to pieces.

Having witnessed Tang Rou in danger, they were filled with lingering fear and clearly harbored resentment in their hearts.

After all, no matter what, Tang Rou was the child they had raised since she was small; how could they not feel heartache?!

"Wuwuwu... Brother, don't be fierce to Sister Chu Ling. She just came home, don't scare her!"

"Although it really seemed like someone pushed me just now... I think it must have been my imagination. Sister Chu Ling is such a good person, how could she do such a thing?"

"Even if she really did it, it can't be all her fault. I can understand her resentment toward me. Who told me to steal eighteen years of her life?"

"Sister Chu Ling has suffered so much over these years; I am somewhat jointly responsible..."

"Therefore, no matter what she does to me, I will absolutely not blame her. That is the retribution I deserve."

"Father, Mother, please don't be angry with Sister Chu Ling anymore. Xiao Rou will kneel for you on behalf of my sister, please! I hope our family can be harmonious and live happily together forever..."

".........."

Tang Rou endured the pain, letting the blood stream down her face, looking incredibly miserable.

She knelt tremblingly before the three Tangs, begging the Tang family not to take their anger out on Chu Ling because of her.

Such a kind and selfless posture moved the three members of the Tang family.

Look, family, come and look quickly...

What a pure and flawless angel daughter (sister) she is...

???( ˊ?ˋ )???*。

Facing the culprit who intended to harm her, she, the victim, for the sake of family harmony, disregarded the immense grievances she suffered and her own injuries, and easily forgave the mastermind?!!

Even to keep Chu Ling from being pursued and scolded by them, she willingly knelt to beg for forgiveness on her behalf...

?(????) Heavens?!

o(╥﹏╥)o Could it be that Xiao Rou was some peerless saint in her past life?!

Otherwise, why would she be so simple, kind, and innocent, like an angel fallen to the mortal world?

I'm afraid even the Leshan Giant Buddha would feel ashamed to meet her and would give up his seat for her overnight...

At this very moment.

The Tang Guoan family seemed to see holy light behind Tang Rou, dazzling and brilliant!!!

At the same time, they thanked the heavens from the bottom of their hearts for bringing such a gentle and kind angel daughter (sister) to their side...

"Chu Ling! Seeing this scene, are you really indifferent? Do you not have the slightest urge to kneel and beg for forgiveness?"

"Xiao Rou is defending you so desperately; if you still have any conscience, at least you should know to say something to her?!"
