Chapter 5 Retribution in This Life
"Hey sis, you're back! Haven't seen you for days, and you're looking even more radiant!"
Sun Chan didn't speak. Her previous life was so miserable. Besides the relentless torment from Zhou Jinzhu, her sister didn't spare her either, using the money from selling her to enjoy her own good life and constantly speaking ill of her to Zhou Jinzhu, ensuring he would beat Sun Chan every day, fearing that she might live well.
As for why, Sun Lijuan had personally said, "I excel in everything over you, except I don't look as good as you. Now you're ugly and old, I can be at ease. A wild child looking so good? There's just no justice!"
After being reborn, Sun Chan naturally had nothing to say to this vicious-hearted sister and directly walked past her.
But Sun Lijuan stopped her: "Why aren't you speaking? Dissatisfied with the marriage? You haven't even asked around, do you know how great the Zhou family's conditions are? They've been hunters for generations and used to be the richest family in several neighboring villages. So many girls want to get married but can't!" Her mouth curved up, eyes full of excitement. It's five hundred yuan! Even this wretched girl can be sold for so much.
Sun Chan nodded, "If they're so great, why don't you keep them for yourself?"
Su Lijuan was stunned, then laughed: "Look at what you're saying, aren't I pursuing an education? Could it be you're still thinking of Ding Hu? Give up, he's about to get married, we're genuinely looking out for you."
"Yes, your immense grace and virtue towards me, I'll remember them for life." With that, she returned to her room.
Sun Lijuan frowned, thinking to herself, why is this sister so different from before?
At dinner, Sun Chan didn't come out to eat, claiming she felt unwell, much to Zhao Xiuxia's delight. She fried eggs, stewed meat, and steamed a pot of white rice, the best meal, not something she'd waste on the worthless girl.
The two were eating when Sun Lijuan suddenly told her mother, "I still think that wretched girl is acting strange. She only recently broke up with her boyfriend, how can she readily agree to marry Zhou Jinzhu? She's definitely hiding something."
