Time Reversed: The Queen's Stunning Transformation

I did resist, but the result was the same. I was told my sister had a lot of academic pressure. As the elder sister, I should give in more.

"Linda graduated from sixth grade and ranked first in her class again. Teachers all say she is a good student. We will do whatever it takes to support Linda's education."

My mom held Linda's hand as she couldn't bear to let go.

...

Linda smiled and flattered, saying, "Aunt, you are becoming more and more beautiful. Thank you, Aunt. I will study hard. If I can get into a college, I will take good care of my parents, you, and my uncle. I will buy lots of delicious food for Dotty."

“Thank you, sister.”

My little cousin, who couldn't speak clearly, nestled in my aunt's arms. He was young and adorable.

"Come on. If Linda can be admitted into a high school, I can afford the tuition. Linda, keep it up."

My aunt touched Linda's head.

In my impression, my aunt was beautiful, wearing a new style windbreaker that rural people had never seen. The clothes that my mother wore that my aunt didn't want could become the talk of the village for a long time.

My sister, Linda, was naturally liked by family members. I could only stand silently aside.

My sister was more likable. She was smarter. This time, I would never give up the opportunity to go to high school and change my destiny.

"My twelve-year-old sister needs to go to school, and I, who is fourteen, don't need to?"

"This child is ungrateful. She is too lazy to do anything except manual work. She can't get good grades despite studying all day long. I don't know which family she will marry in the future. Girls are easy to deal with."

I had heard a lot of such words. In my previous life, I was trapped, but in this life, I must live my own life.

I gathered the courage to speak out my thoughts.

"Mom, I don't want to go to a vocational school. I want to go to a high school."

The room suddenly became quiet.

My dad walked in and happened to hear my words.

...

He coughed heavily and spat out saliva, saying sternly, "Siena, it's not that we are biased. It's just that you are not cut out for studying. Do as I say. I will find a good marriage for you. Your dowry and everything will be prepared for you. Then you will have someone to rely on in the future."

My mom grabbed my hand.

She said, "Siena, education for high school is too expensive. Our family can't afford to support two students. Your sister is good at studying. Don't you want to let her go to school? Mom and Dad care about you both. We care about you both, Siena."

"That's how it is, that's how it is."

"Under the guise of family affection, they claim they care about us both, which is not the truth."

"I was too soft-hearted. Whenever my parents acted pitiful, I let go of all my grievances."

"But am I not sad?"

"I am never favored."

"I thought that it was pretentious to criticize them for their bias and favoritism."

"But it hurts. belittling, and the suffering in my previous life is all real."

"The one who stops you from making progress may not be a stranger, but the one who can stop you from being better is from your family."

"Mom, Dad, my grades were indeed not good before, but I want to live at school for the last year and strive to get into a high school."

"Siena, Auntie thinks you can go to a vocational school, which is easier for you."

I interrupted her.

"Auntie, don't worry, I won't let you pay for my tuition."

"Kid, how can you let Auntie pay for your education? How can you talk like that?"

My mother scolded me. My aunt couldn't bear the embarrassment. She said a greeting and left.

"We can't support you, a high school student. You can go wherever you want. We, as parents, can't control you anymore, right? Let me be clear. We don't have the money for your accommodation. Figure it out yourself."

So, this was the result of my rebellion. Suddenly, I didn't feel sad anymore.

In my previous life, I was indeed just a simple fourteen-year-old. If I hadn't been reborn, I would have voluntarily chosen to go to a vocational school amid my parents' persuasion and coercion.

It had nothing to do with my parents at all. It was my fault. After all, I was stupid.

I walked outside. It was cold in autumn. I wrapped my clothes tightly.

In the village, the lights were on in dozens of households. The aroma of food drifted into my nose.

I swallowed my saliva and looked in through the window.

There was delicious food. Occasionally, the laughter of joy rang out.

There was no portion for me.

"Siena?"

I subconsciously turned around and saw Mr. Smith standing in front of the village, carrying a piece of steak.

"Hello, Mr. Smith!"

I turned around awkwardly and stood there, rubbing my fingers.

"Have you eaten? If not, eat with me. I just bought some meat."

Mr. Smith didn't ask me any other questions.

It was my first time going to Mr. Smith's house.

There was a bed, a shelf with a washbasin, and a set of tables and chairs.

What shocked me the most was a wall full of books.

"Feel free to sit. You don't have to be restrained during break time. I'll go cook outside first. You can kill time here by reading a few books."

I obediently complied and carefully took out a book from the bookshelf.

It was a biography.

I opened the book,

[Only real suffering can offset the romantic fantasy of suffering.]

[Only by seeing the tragic tragedy of overcoming suffering can we help us bear cruel fate.]

[Only with the spirit of 'if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell' can we save a weak and selfish nation.]

[Beethoven: I am willing to prove that anyone who behaves kindly and nobly can bear hardships because of it.]

[He wants to strangle the throat of fate, and it can never make him surrender.]

[Strive to do good, love freedom above all, and never sell the truth even for the throne.]

I liked this book, and the suffering I had suffered seemed to have paid off in this book.

For most people's lives, it was something that seemed unattainable.

The sky darkened. Mr. Smith was sitting on the bed, reading.

The steak was warming on the stove. I started eating.
