Chapter 773: The Unlucky Twin Sister (Part 2)
The original stayed home to farm, even though she had a twin sister of the same age, it was the original who did all the work, big and small, around the house.
Her twin sister lived like a lady of leisure, being waited on hand and foot in this kind of family, pampered and delicate.
Just a word about not feeling well or being dizzy would cause Pei Jian Country and Yang Chunhua to be alarmed.
Even though they were twins, the treatment the two sisters received was worlds apart, simply because when Yang Chunhua gave birth to the sisters, the older sister, Pei QianLann, was born first due to being frail. Meanwhile, the original, being more robust, came out hours later, nearly resulting in a fatal situation for both.
The couple always felt it was the original’s competitive nature in the womb that took nutrients from Pei QianLann, almost causing difficult childbirth for Yang Chunhua, and they didn’t really like her.
Since childhood, they taught the original to always yield to Pei QianLann, insinuating that she owed Pei QianLann.
If it weren’t for her strong personality and greed in the womb, her sister wouldn’t be so weak that she could hardly lift a bucket of water and frequently caught colds and felt dizzy.
Now and then, Yang Chunhua would blame the original for almost dying when she was born.
From a young age, the original was indoctrinated with such thoughts, and indeed felt guilty towards her sister and Yang Chunhua, her mother. Because of this, when she talked with Qiann Yan in the Wish Space earlier, she didn’t feel there was a problem with this family.
Having grown up with this family’s brainwashing, and having gone through later experiences, the family’s issues seemed trivial.
After the original agreed not to go to school, she took on the responsibility of taking care of her brother Pei Peng and her sister Pei QianLann, doing all kinds of work around the house.
Yang Chunhua and Pei Jian Country only had to tend to the farming; sometimes when the original finished her chores, she would also go to the fields. After working in the fields, she had to come back to cook, boil water, feed the pigs, and feed the chickens and ducks. Basically, in this family, she was the one who couldn’t stop.
Even when she sat down for a moment, Pei QianLann would find her some work to do, like serving tea and water.
The original didn’t realize there was a problem, but Qiann Yan saw these memories and felt something was off; Pei QianLann seemed to be deliberately targeting the original.
Later, Pei QianLann married a young man from the neighboring village, and the original breathed a sigh of relief.
Her brother Pei Peng was actually very sensible, and would help the original with some work, but when Pei QianLann saw it, she would stop him, saying he was still young and shouldn’t do such things.
After learning that his family would stop him from helping his second sister, Pei Peng became smarter and helped the original when no one was around, even secretly leaving some good things for her. Thanks to this brother, the original could enjoy some good food, and Pei Jian Country and Yang Chunhua were very fond of this son.
The original didn’t expect that even after Pei QianLann got married, she would still come back to boss her around from time to time. Yet, she was so severely brainwashed that she could only endure it with silent resilience, occasionally offering suggestions, only to be suppressed by Pei Jian Country and Yang Chunhua.
A year later, Pei QianLann caught her husband cheating while drunk, causing a scene for divorce and demanding hefty compensation.
The original thought she was about to return to a life of being ordered around daily, but unexpectedly, Pei QianLann said she was going out to work, leaving this place of sorrow.
Pei Jian Country and Yang Chunhua, worried, planned to have the original take care of her, but she refused.
After Pei QianLann left, the original felt relieved.
There was still endless work every day, but at least it was much easier than before.
Especially with a thoughtful brother who cared for her, she felt the hard work was worthwhile.
After trying to run a small business successfully using her brother’s pocket money, Pei Jian Country and Yang Chunhua’s attitude towards her improved significantly.
Two years later, Pei QianLann returned, this time in a luxury car.
