Ch 311: The Self-Cultivation of a True Daughter 10
Yuzhu didn’t expect her mother to treat her this way. She thought back to how they were willing to commit crimes to give her a good life, but after they had a son, she fell straight from heaven into hell.
“I was the one who told Dad to go into business, I was the one who gave you a good life, and now you’re all starting to resent me. If you hated me so much, why did you give birth to me in the first place?” Yuzhu was completely ভেঙে down. Her adoptive parents didn’t like her, and now even her biological parents were starting to dislike her. What was the point of her being alive?
Her foster mother’s nose wasn’t her nose, and her eyes weren’t her eyes. “Wasn’t I good enough to you? At least I gave you a few years of good life. If it wasn’t to clear the way for you, we wouldn’t have done anything to that wretched girl.”
“It made your dad and me spend a few days in there, almost going to jail. Weren’t we good enough to you? Now we’re just asking you to take care of your younger brother, and you’re already complaining. You’re so heartless.”
Yuzhu’s face was extremely ugly. Was she complaining? When she was at her adoptive parents’ house, she was a little princess. They never said she was a money-losing good or gave her a bad look. They only took care of her and never asked her to take care of others.
Yuzhu thought her adoptive parents loved her, but their love came with a condition: she had to be their only daughter. Clearly, none of these messy things happened in her previous life, and there was clearly no so-called younger brother, but the premise was that she had been reborn, and it seemed like everything had changed.
Lin Lang didn’t know about these things because she was as happy as a little princess. Her parents valued her very much. Since she was seven years old this year, they were afraid that she wouldn’t be able to keep up in elementary school, so they specially hired several tutors for her.
In addition to that, they also asked for her opinion and signed her up for several interest classes.
“We don’t mean to make you learn anything. We just want you to cultivate your own hobbies so that you’ll have your own pursuits for the rest of your life.” Mom Lin smiled gently.
Lin Lang naturally understood that her parents were doing it for her own good, and she also worked very hard. Her grades were always among the best in the school, and she even learned several foreign languages.
“I want to be a diplomat in the future and win glory for the country.” Lin Lang suddenly wanted to try a different life.
Mom Lin also supported her idea. In order to cultivate her hobbies, she would take her abroad every summer vacation or holiday and encourage her to communicate more with the locals to develop her bilingual skills.
Lin Lang grew up in this happy atmosphere until she was sixteen years old. At the same time, she met an acquaintance when she was about to take the college entrance examination.
The girl had transferred over. She was wearing a faded T-shirt on her upper body and a pair of washed-out jeans on her lower body. She was also wearing a pair of canvas shoes that were unidentifiable in color. Her hair was also messy, but her eyes were very stubborn, and when she saw her, she vaguely revealed a hint of malice.
Lin Lang naturally recognized who the other person was, but she didn’t expect that there was a possibility that the two of them would meet again. It was said that the two of them were already people from two different worlds, but the world was sometimes so small.
Lin Lang didn’t take the initiative to recognize her. Instead, she found a few friends to ask why she had transferred over at this point in her third year of high school. Later, she found out that it was because this girl had good grades, and the teacher had spent money to poach her in order to guarantee the school’s enrollment rate.
Their school was a private school. Most of the students either went to study abroad or took the domestic art exams. Only a very small number of them would take the college entrance examination.
This school didn’t care about the enrollment rate, but in order to save face, it was inevitable that they would poach some students with good grades. Of course, it would be even better if the school could produce one or two top students.

Lin Lang didn’t take the initiative to recognize her, but Yuzhu couldn’t bear it. It was because she had discovered that the clothes Lin Lang was wearing and the friends surrounding Lin Lang were all her friends from her previous life. In this life, she wanted to say hello to them, but they all turned her away because she was now a poor person and there was no need to make friends.
Yuzhu’s face was flushed with anger, but thinking about it, she was also a rich person in her previous life and would never make friends with poor students because she thought they were poor.
Yuzhu didn’t expect that one day she would become the “poor student” in their eyes. In fact, Yuzhu had suffered a lot these years. In addition to her parents’ preference for sons over daughters, her father was schemed against by a friend when he was doing business in his early years. Not only did he lose all his capital, but he even owed a large debt. Later, their family had to sell everything they could sell in order to barely pay off all the debts, but from then on, the family had nothing.
Yuzhu had many ideas for making money in her mind, and even wanted her parents to go into business. However, after the last blow, her father was directly devastated. He stayed at home every day, drinking and drinking. Moreover, he would hit people after getting drunk. At first, he hit her mother.
Yuzhu was still a filial child, so she followed and stopped him a few times. Later, after her father got drunk, he never hit his wife and son again. Instead, he directly hit Yuzhu. Yuzhu thought her mother would come to help her, but she didn’t expect her mother to just watch coldly from the side and complain that she was useless, saying that if she hadn’t caused trouble, how could her father have hit her?
From then on, Yuzhu was completely awake. If it wasn’t because her household registration was still in this family, she would have left this family long ago to make a living. In order not to be beaten again, Yuzhu could only move to the school as a boarding student. Her mother was angry because there was no one to be her father’s punching bag, so she angrily cut off all of Yuzhu’s living expenses.
If Yuzhu was just a few-year-old child, she would definitely give in immediately and obediently be a beast of burden for that family. But at least she had decades of memories.
Therefore, not only did she have excellent grades in school, but she even set up a stall outside after the holidays. She also went outside to do summer jobs during the summer vacation. She could save a lot of money by the end of the year, but this money came too slowly. If she had enough money, she would have gone out to buy a house long ago. In a few years, she might be able to become a millionaire.
It was really too difficult for poor people to get rich because their abilities were limited. In addition, they were short-sighted, so they rarely achieved success. Most of them were able to develop slowly by riding the express train of the times, but Yuzhu was a child, and the only thing she could do was study hard.
Yuzhu’s mother had broken off contact with this daughter long ago. Later, when she learned that this daughter still had a scholarship, she specially ran to the school to make a scene. However, because Yuzhu’s attitude was tough, this mother didn’t get much of an advantage. But from then on, the other party no longer recognized this daughter, as if she had broken off contact with this daughter.
Yuzhu didn’t want to transfer to this school at first until the other party offered a sky-high price. Thinking that this used to be her alma mater, she transferred over. However, she didn’t expect to be treated coldly as soon as she arrived here. Several friends who used to be very close to her also had cold faces and didn’t like her at all.
Yuzhu even went up to recognize them, but those were all things that happened in her previous life. They didn’t know her at all, so she could only go to her childhood friends.
However, since they were all childhood friends, there wasn’t much affection. At most, they were just nodding acquaintances.
