Back to the Doomsday: Taking My Sister Away from Our Unfair Family
Chapter 2
But this time, I didn't react like I did in my previous life. Instead, I nodded seriously. "You're right. It's so hot right now, and the café is doing great business. I'll go work there tomorrow to help pay for Daniel's college."
The three of them didn't expect me to agree so easily. They had prepared a whole list of arguments and excuses, but they didn't need any of them. They just nodded in stunned silence.
I meant what I said. I packed up all my notebooks and study materials and gave them to Daniel, sincerely telling him, "Daniel, you can do it. You're the family's hope."
That night, Cynthia and I lay in bed.
Our room didn't have air conditioning, and it was so hot at night that we couldn't sleep.
Cynthia whispered to me, afraid of waking the other three, "Bella, why did you do that? You're the one who should be going to college, not Daniel. Our family isn't so poor that they can't afford it.
"The preference for boys in our family is way too strong. You should stand up for yourself."
If it were my previous life, I would have said the same thing.
But this time, I didn't.
In my last life, my rebellion only got me insults and beatings.
Soon, the temperatures would start rising. In many places, it would reach 194 degrees Fahrenheit, and the ground temperature would exceed 210 degrees Fahrenheit. Crops would fail, and even people wouldn't survive.
When the extreme heat came, going out during the day would be impossible. It would be like stepping into a giant oven. We could only venture out at night to scavenge for food.
But with five people in the house, no matter how much we found, it was never enough.
Moreover, Cynthia ate something spoiled and got sick shortly after.
