Refusing to Be a Golden Cage Bird

My mother Mary was in poor health, and even if we borrowed from relatives, our family could only afford one of us to go to college. I had good grades and was always ranked in the top three in school, but Kelly was just average.

But in our previous lives, we all believed that getting into college was the only way to escape poverty.

So Kelly begged Mary to let her go to college. As the eldest sister, even though I wanted to go to school, I still gave the opportunity to Kelly.

After rebirth, Kelly believed that she couldn't make a lot of money by going to school, and only by marrying a rich man could she change her destiny and escape from her class.

So when Mary said with embarrassment that our family could only afford one of our tuition, Kelly immediately pretended to be sensible and held Mary's hand.

"Stella, you're so good at studying, it's a shame for her not to go to college. Even if I go to college, I can only be admitted to an ordinary university. I'd better give the place to Stella."

Hearing this, Mary was also a little bit incredulous. Kelly used to be arrogant and domineering, how could she be so sensible today?

I sneered when I heard this because I knew that Kelly had also been reborn.

If not because of my previous life, I would probably be as incredible as Mary, and even feel guilty towards her.

But now I knew that Kelly didn't want to go to college just because she wanted to be a rich wife.

After much hesitation, Mary finally decided to let me go to college.

Mary held Kelly's hand and cried, saying, "Kelly, your father and I suffered from under-education, so we worked so hard to earn money to support you two in school. I'm too useless."

But Kelly didn't care.

"Mom, don't worry, I can make a lot of money even if I don't go to school. College students are the cheapest labor force now.

"When I become successful, I will let all of you live in a big villa."

I bit my lips hard, not because I was sad, but because I was afraid of laughing out loud.
