Zhou Lanfang and Shen Jianhua had just left when Zhou Siyu closed the door and glared at Shen Mianmian resentfully, "Are you happy now?"
Looking at her expression, Zhou Siyu really did resemble Zhou Lanfang when she was glaring; no wonder Zhou Lanfang adored this niece of hers.
Shen Mianmian didn’t dodge the accusation and openly admitted, "I’ve told you long ago not to provoke me with those little schemes of yours."
Having lived two lifetimes, no one understood Zhou Siyu better than she did, perhaps not even Zhou Siyu herself.
Therefore, dealing with the fifteen-year-old Zhou Siyu was something Shen Mianmian was more than capable of.
The events of the evening had genuinely agitated Zhou Siyu, as she now looked at Shen Mianmian with utter disdain.
If it weren’t for Shen Jianhua being at home, she really would have wanted to resort to violence.
"Sister, you’ve indeed changed for the sake of being able to attend school."
Shen Mianmian smiled, "Aren’t you the same? Capable of being humble or assertive, changing your face is as easy as flipping a book." For more chapters visıt 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⟡𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵
Having her little schemes exposed by Shen Mianmian made her somewhat guilty; she had thought Shen Mianmian was always clueless, never guessing she had been keeping all her observations to herself.
Whenever she got the chance, she would grab Shen Mianmian and trample on her mercilessly.
Now that their standoff was clear, she decided not to pretend anymore.
"My grades are a bit better than yours, and that’s a fact. You can’t even pass the college entrance exam, so why do you have to compete with me?"
She tried to brainwash Shen Mianmian, "Sister, you’re anyway not as good at studying as I am, so you might as well stop your education. Let me study; after I get into college and find a job in the city, I will then find you a job there too."
"If I don’t study, what kind of job can I do in the city?" Shen Mianmian asked with a smile.
Thinking that Shen Mianmian was intrigued, Zhou Siyu quickly struck while the iron was hot, "You should learn tailoring next year. There are lots of garment factories in the city. When the time comes, you can work in one. After all, you’ll be just over twenty when I graduate from college, and then I can introduce you to someone from the city. We sisters can both marry into the city, then bring Uncle and Auntie over too."
"Think about it, which family in the village will be more prosperous than ours? How prestigious it will be to visit our relatives back in the village!"
"I lack education and I’m from the countryside, why would city people want to marry me?" Shen Mianmian asked.
Zhou Siyu choked, that damned girl, actually aware of her own limitations!
To convince Shen Mianmian, she said insincerely, "You’re pretty! City men like beautiful girls too, don’t they?"
"Don’t you and mom always say I look like a monkey spirit?" Shen Mianmian pointed out the inconsistency in her words.
"That’s because you’re thin!" Zhou Siyu continued her persuasion, "If you get a bit fatter, you’ll look good."
"Then you’ll have to save some food for me."
Shen Mianmian said calmly before she lay down and closed her eyes to sleep.
This damned girl always wanted to compete with her for schooling; it turns out she also wished to marry into the city.
Knowing Shen Mianmian’s thoughts, Zhou Siyu felt she could finally target her strategies accordingly.
As long as Shen Mianmian was content to give up school, Zhou Siyu didn’t mind playing nice with her for a while; after all, she hadn’t been short of playing the good person in front of Shen Mianmian before.
Ever since Shen Mianmian’s rebirth, that night was the most restful that Zhou Siyu had slept. She even dreamed that Shen Mianmian ballooned to three hundred pounds, so enormous that nobody wanted to marry her.
In the end, she married a hideous and old bachelor from the next village over.
