《Return To The Past: I Won't Choose Humility This Time!》Chapter 2: Guilt Trip?!
Advertisement
When Yun Xi opened her eyes again, she looked at the strange yet familiar scene ahead, feeling dazed.
Was this a dream?
Everything in front of her was so similar to her childhood. The distant memories surged over after she was triggered by the dust-laden switch.
After being in a daze for a while, Yun Xi was brought back to reality by the bruises on her arms and the buzzing sounds of flies around her.
This was not a dream. She had returned to her childhood. It was the place where everything had started.
She gazed at the old almanac, which showed the summer of 1980, on the wall of the house. The countryside was particularly hot that summer, and something big was going to happen to the Yun family. Today was the day she would compete with her sister, Yun Lian, for the opportunity to go to school.
The man of the Yun family, Yun Shan, was the father of Yun Lian and Yun Xi. He was the village accountant, and there were two drops of ink on his belly. Unfortunately, he was unable to give birth to a son in this lifetime. However, Yun Shan was a strong man. He resolutely sent his two daughters to school to study.
In the 1980s, boys rarely went to school, let alone girls.
The college entrance examination was only resumed in 1977. In 1980, Yun Shan wanted to send his daughters to secondary school. One could tell that this was a rare opportunity.
However, the Yun family only had one laborer, namely Yun Shan. The mother of the Yun sisters was bedridden all year round. Her body was gradually depleted, and there were not many savings left in the family. Only one of the two Yun sisters was able to carry a schoolbag and go to school.

"Sister, you're awake."
Just as Yun Lian reacted to the unbelievable reality, she slowly pushed open the door and called out to Yun Xi affectionately.
"Sister, Dad and the others will be here soon. We must do as we agreed."
Yun Shan's original plan was to let his two daughters draw lots to decide. Whether Yun Xi would win, he wanted to give the chance to the two-faced younger sister.
Yun Xi had actually done so for the sake of some hypocritical sisterhood back then. She had not expected that this would happen again. This time, she had to take back everything that belonged to her!
"Woof, woof..."
The barking of a dog in the house interrupted Yun Xi's train of thought. It turned out that the male owner of the house, Yun Shan, had returned with a woman dressed in fashionable clothes.
Her mind was in a state of confusion for a moment. She clearly did not have such an experience before. Could it be that her rebirth had changed the course of her past development?!
"Yun Xi, Yun Lian, come out quickly and greet your aunt."
Soon, Yun Shan had the guest enter the hall. The woman in the seat was the aunt of the Yun sisters, Jiang Ling.
"Hurry up and call her aunt." Yun Shan pushed the two children toward Jiang Ling.
"Aunt!"
The two children's crisp answers warmed Jiang Ling's heart.
"So who do you think among these two children is more suitable to go to school?"
Jiang Ling was the newly-hired English teacher in the middle school this year. She was closely related to Yun Shan, so he invited her back to his home without needing the Yun sisters to decide their fate by drawing lots.
"That's hard to say. Prove it with your abilities. I just happened to bring some questions here."

As Jiang Ling spoke, she took out two test papers from her black cloth bag.
Questions? Test?
If Yun Xi had to draw lots to decide her fate, she could not guarantee that she would be favored by God again! However, the test was used to decide whether she could attend school. How could Yun Lian compete with her, considering that Yun Lian could not even recognize 26 English letters?
Deep down, Yun Lian was a little afraid. She had always thought that her results were better than her sister's, so she gladly took over the test paper distributed by her aunt.
There were only ten questions on the test paper, and it would be finished in less than 15 minutes. The paper involved some general knowledge. Of course, half of it was about knowledge regarding their future school as well as the English exercises that Jiang Ling had added herself.
"Children, time's up."
Jiang Ling looked at the time and took over the test papers that the children were writing on. Yun Xi looked calm, while Yun Lian held the test paper tightly and was unwilling to let go of it.
With a quick glance, Jiang Ling already knew who the winner was. Even so, she still marked the exam papers seriously. The results surprised her greatly.
Yun Lian had expected it. She had gotten three questions right, and five were blind guesses.
However, Yun Xi had gotten all ten questions right, which was beyond everyone's expectations.
However, Jiang Ling did not ask why her niece who had never learned English actually knew how to turn some words into the past participles. At that time, she knew that her niece would definitely be an extraordinary person in the future.
Yun Lian, who found herself lucky, was the one most shocked.
"No, it's impossible!"
As she said that, she turned toward Yun Xi. Yun Xi avoided Yun Lian's body subtly.
Seeing this, Yun Lian shouted, "I don't have the chance to go to school. I don't want to live anymore!"
As she said that, she hit the support pillar in the hall. A few drops of blood oozed out of her forehead. Her entire body swayed as she fell to the ground.
Was she trying to guilt-trip others through self-harm?!
Look at this hypocritical expression of hers!
