Today, Madam Chen was particularly happy, so she cut up most of the leftover at at ho and made two at dishes for dinner.
The second and fourth branches also sent over so eggs to celebrate Xu Minghui becoming a worker. After Xu Laosan, finally, soone from the Old Xu Family beca a worker in the city again.
"Xue, what’s wrong? You seem distracted?" Qian Ying asked Xu Xue, reaching out to feel her forehead, but she wasn’t ill.
"Mom, don’t you think there’s sothing off about the main branch?" Xu Xue said while washing vegetables.
"What’s off about them?" Qian Ying was a bit puzzled. The current life was sothing she had never dared to imagine before. She never dared to think about dividing the family, but now, it had really happened. Even though they got the worst share, she was still very happy.
"Everything’s not normal. Even grandma isn’t yelling anymore, and my aunt doesn’t bother us anymore." Xu Xue pursed her lips.
"Isn’t that a good thing? You really shouldn’t speak ill of your elders." Qian Ying glanced at her daughter. She knew that Xu Xue had earned so money recently and was becoming more assertive.
"Mom, what do you think of Xu Mumu?" Xu Xue looked at Qian Ying, slightly pursing her lips. Her parents were filial to a fault, always sending anything good towards her grandparents. Recently, they would send so pastries over to the main branch almost every day, but never received a kind word from them.
"She’s your eldest sister. You shouldn’t just call her by na." Qian Ying frowned, knowing full well that her daughter had animosity towards her in-laws and the main branch.
"That’s not important, I think Xu Mumu she..."
"Xue, you think too much. We’ve divided the family, and Mumu isn’t a bad person. She’s even teaching so kids to read and study now. She just used to be immature." Qian Ying directly interrupted what Xu Xue wanted to say.
Xu Mumu didn’t know that at this mont, her second aunt was defending her.
"Got it, Mom." Xu Xue said sullenly. It was always like this. Her parents never allowed her and her sister to speak ill of their grandparents or of Xu Mumu.
It was always like this, making Xu Xue feel very stifled.
"Sis, Big Sis is nice. They don’t even let us work anymore." Xu Wan tugged at Xu Xue’s clothes. Though the kids from the main branch were reluctant to interact with them, she felt things were pretty good like this.
Xu Xue didn’t say a word. Xu Mumu seed like a different person, making her feel like she had nowhere to vent all her grievances.
The next day, as Xu Mumu was sorting Xu Minghui’s books, Xu Xue ca over.
"Can we talk?" Xu Xue looked at Xu Mumu. In just a few months, she seed even more beautiful than in her previous life.
The main thing was that Xu Mumu no longer had that arrogant, domineering attitude. Her temperant had softened a lot, making her seem like she had changed a great deal.
"Sure." Xu Mumu nodded, curious to see what Xu Xue wanted to discuss.
The two went outside, with Xu Mumu leisurely walking behind Xu Xue, noticing that Xu Xue seed a bit nervous.
"Who exactly are you?" Xu Xue stopped. They were alone now, and Xu Xue stared intently at Xu Mumu.
"Who am I? You tell ." Xu Mumu laughed, realizing Xu Xue had co to test her. She had thought Xu Xue wouldn’t care, but surprisingly she had waited this long to test her.
"You’re not Xu Mumu." Xu Xue looked at her seriously.
"So what?" Xu Mumu wasn’t concerned that Xu Xue knew she wasn’t the original Xu Mumu. As long as the main branch believed her, that was enough.
"Where is the real Xu Mumu?" Xu Xue’s eyes red. In her past life, Xu Mumu had hard her so much. She wanted revenge, fierce revenge. Although she had suspected this Xu Mumu wasn’t the one she knew, now that she had confird it, she felt even more unwilling.
"Probably drowned." Xu Mumu said nonchalantly. She was sure that when she ca here, the original soul was no longer there.
"Impossible! How could that be? She couldn’t have died. What kind of monster are you?" Xu Xue took two steps back, looking at Xu Mumu with so apprehension. Could this be so wandering spirit occupying Xu Mumu’s body?
After experiencing rebirth, Xu Xue had a strong belief in the supernatural.
"How is it any of your business? We’ve already successfully divided the family. Xu Xue, why dwell on the past? Isn’t this good enough?" Xu Mumu said with a calm smile to Xu Xue.
It’s been a few months since Xu Xue was reborn. Her initial hostility had been worn down significantly.
"Hahaha, you want to not dwell on the past. Do you know what I’ve been through?" Xu Xue laughed, and as she laughed, tears stread down her face.
"I know, but you’re much luckier than most. At least you got another chance. You can do as you please, but if you intend to harm the main branch, I won’t allow it. I’ve said what I needed to." Xu Mumu said indifferently, though she knew Xu Xue had suffered terribly in her past life, and the original was to bla.
But the main branch was now her closest family, and she was willing to protect them.
Xu Mumu’s words made Xu Xue shiver, and she stared at Xu Mumu with wide eyes. How did she know?
"How do you know??" Xu Xue was too shocked to cry, her heart full of astonishnt. Rebirth was her biggest secret. How could Xu Mumu know?
"That’s my secret. I’m not the Xu Mumu you were looking for. You’ve heard of my skills. As long as you don’t bother , we can get along." Xu Mumu said with a smile.
She dared to be so straightforward with Xu Xue, not just because she was too lazy to hide it from soone reborn, but also to make Xu Xue wary of her, preventing any rash actions against the main branch.
Saying all she could, Xu Mumu glanced at the still-disbelieving Xu Xue, then turned and headed ho. Whatever Xu Xue decided to think or do next was her business.
With Xu Mumu gone, Xu Xue stood dazed under the willow tree. Xu Mumu’s words had hit her too hard.
Tears kept falling as Xu Xue stared vacantly in the direction Xu Mumu left. Without the drive for revenge, she suddenly felt a loss of purpose.
"Sis, Sis, where are you?" While Xu Xue sat lost in thought on a stone under the willow tree, Xu Wan’s voice called from a distance. Xu Xue had been away for a long ti, and it was already evening, her family was worried about her.
