Reborn in the ’80s as a Group Favorite Bigshot – Chapter 3

Chapter 3: Tomorrow, I’ll Make You Unable to Afford Me

Song Chu followed her memory back to her home.

Just as she reached the door, she heard a sharp scolding voice: “Eat, eat, eat, all you know is eat all day, are you a pig? If you were a pig, at least we could slaughter you at the end of the year and have meat to eat. You’re just a bottomless pit, eating is a waste of food.”

This was Song Chu’s mother, Tang Feng, the most formidable and top-ranked fighter in the village.

“Mom, I just came to the kitchen to have a look, I haven’t even eaten anything yet. Ah, don’t hit me, ah!” A panting voice came out, obviously running.

Without even looking, she could guess that this was her gluttonous and lazy second older brother, Song Jianye.

“If I didn’t know you were pretending to have a stomachache to sneak back and steal food, I wouldn’t have followed you back. You would have gotten away with it, wouldn’t you? You little brat, stop right there!”

Listening to this robust voice, Song Chu felt a sense of warmth and pushed the door open to enter.

“Ah! My precious, what happened to you?” Seeing her little daughter covered in mud, Tang Feng rushed over, not minding that Song Chu’s hands were dirty, and held her hand with concern.

In her previous life, Song Chu’s parents had died in an accident shortly after she was born, and she was raised by her maternal grandfather. This was the first time she felt the warmth of a mother’s love.

Inheriting the original owner’s memories and emotions, and having made a promise, she quickly adopted her role and regarded Tang Feng as her own mother.

She smiled and said, “Mom, Gu Yue and I accidentally encountered a mudslide on the Back Mountain, but I’m fine.”

“What? A mudslide?” Tang Feng was initially shocked, but she immediately and carefully examined Song Chu. Seeing that she was only dirty and not injured, she relaxed. “It’s good that you’re okay, it’s good that you’re okay!”

Her eyes filled with a loving smile, “My Chu Chu is such a lucky star. There’s no other girl in the whole village as blessed as you.”

“……” Hearing his mother shamelessly praising his younger sister, Song Chu’s second older brother couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Tang Feng glared at Song Lao Er, “Can’t you see your sister is dirty? Go and heat some water for her to take a bath, you useless glutton!”

“……” Sure enough, the brothers were adopted, and only the little sister was their biological child.

“Mom, my stomach hurts. I’ll wait for Big Brother to come back from work and heat the water,” Song Lao Er said, clutching his stomach.

“Keep pretending.” Tang Feng wanted to hit him with the broom again. “If you don’t go, you won’t get any dinner tonight!”

“Fine, I’ll go.” Hearing this, Song Lao Er reluctantly shuffled towards the kitchen, muttering under his breath, “The favoritism is too obvious!”

Tang Feng ignored him and pulled Song Chu along, asking, “Did you go on a date with that Educated Youth Gu today? Don’t go to such remote places like the Back Mountain anymore. It’s dangerous there, especially when it rains, there are often landslides.”

“It wasn’t a date. I just asked him to talk. He’s not interested in me, and I don’t like him anymore!” Song Chu shook her head.

They were just in a temporary cooperative relationship now.

“What?” Tang Feng frowned, displeased. “He’s not interested in you? You’re the Village Flower of our village. Is he blind? If you hadn’t liked him before, I wouldn’t have approved of that Xiaobai Lian anyway.”

“……” Song Lao Er, who had just reached the kitchen door, twitched his mouth.

Although his sister was indeed the Village Flower in terms of looks, had his mother forgotten that his sister was also the Village Bully?

Gu Yue was the most handsome educated youth in the whole commune. Even the men in the village stayed as far away as possible from a tigress like his sister. It would be strange if Gu Yue liked her. His mother’s eyesight was the one that was bad.

Song Chu agreed with a smile, “He is a bit blind. You have a good eye, Mom!”

Then she glared at her melodramatic second older brother. “What are you looking at? Hurry up and heat the water. I want to take a bath!”

This guy was not a good person, often tricking the original owner into doing bad things.

“……” Song Lao Er turned and entered the kitchen. She was indeed a tigress!

Song Chu had her own room, which also had a wooden tub for bathing.

Her status in the family was the second highest, firstly because she was doted on by Tang Feng, who held the highest status in the family, and secondly because her father was a coward, and she was physically stronger than her brothers.

◈◈◈

After Song Lao Er heated the water, she carried it into her room herself and mixed it with cold water to bathe.

After a refreshing bath, Song Chu was getting dressed in her room when she heard her mother’s voice at the door.

“Yaobao, you were frightened today. Mom will make you an egg to calm your nerves!”

“Do you want it steamed, boiled, or as a poached egg?”

“Mom, I want a poached egg!” Song Lao Er said.

Tang Feng’s scolding voice rang out, “Eat, eat, eat, a poached egg is such a precious thing, is it something you can eat? You might as well eat your old lady. Why did I give birth to such a bunch of good-for-nothings!”

“Then why can Yaomei eat it?” Song Lao Er said, unconvinced.

“Can you compare to my Yaobao?”

“Favoritism!”

“I am biased, what are you going to do about it?”

“……” Song Lao Er was speechless.

Song Chu opened the door and walked up to Tang Feng, smiling and linking arms with her. “Mom, steam an egg. I’ll take it to Gu Yue later.”

“Ah! You’re going to take it to Gu Yue? Why?” Tang Feng was puzzled.

Then, as if remembering something, she gently pinched Song Chu. “You little girl, you just said you didn’t like him anymore, but you’re still thinking of him when it comes to eating an egg. You’re so dishonest!”

Normally, she really didn’t like Xiaobai Lian, they couldn’t carry heavy loads. But who asked her precious daughter to like him?

She thought for a moment and suggested, “If you really like him, why don’t you just go for it and get it over with?”

She was also reluctant to let her daughter marry out. “Then I’ll go to your Eldest Maternal Uncle and make a scene, saying that Xiaobai Lian took advantage of you and make him marry into our family. If he dares not to admit it, I’ll go to the Public Security Bureau and accuse him of being a hooligan.”

Once he was in her house, with her watching, that Xiaobai Lian wouldn’t dare to bully her daughter.

“……” Song Chu was stunned. This was quite a bold move.

Although this idea was underhanded, it was actually feasible in this era. Hooliganism was not a joke. Once convicted, it could mean a death sentence.

She also recalled that her Eldest Maternal Uncle was the village’s Production Team Leader. This old lady was impressive!

No wonder she could raise a daughter who was the Village Bully!

She looked at Tang Feng and asked, “Mom, do you think I’m pretty?”

“Of course, you’re pretty! You’re the prettiest girl in the whole village.” Tang Feng looked at her daughter and thought she was more and more beautiful, just like her!

“I’m the prettiest girl in the village. It’s not like I can’t get married. I don’t want to force things with him. It makes him seem so desirable.” Song Chu pouted.

Tang Feng thought it made sense, but she was still puzzled. “Then why are you still steaming an egg for him?”

Song Chu naturally couldn’t say it was for the sake of cooperation, and in the future, even if she stopped delivering food, she would still need to continue interacting with Gu Yue. She needed a long-term excuse.

“Who asked him to look down on me now?” She thought of an explanation that wouldn’t ruin her image. She said proudly, “I’m going to be nice to him first, then make him realize how good I am, make him fall for me, and then I’ll dump him.”

“Isn’t there a saying, ‘Today you look down on me, tomorrow I’ll make you unable to afford me!’ I’m the prettiest girl in the whole village.”

“……” Song Lao Er, sitting on a small stool not far away, had a look of disbelief. He couldn’t help but feel some sympathy for Gu Yue. It turned out that his sister was not only a tigress but also a manipulative woman who liked to play with people’s feelings!
