I... I was so excited that my hands were trembling as I held the acceptance letter, unable to believe that I had truly been reborn.
But before I could savor the joy for even a few seconds, I saw my mother standing in front of me with a worried expression.
"Su Qing, why don't you just skip college?"
There were more people in the family than just me; why should I give up my future to take care of that useless person? No way, absolutely not.
In my previous life, I had given up my chance to attend university to stay home and care for my paralyzed brother, and what did it lead to? The horrifying truth of being beaten to death.
Such a painful lesson would never allow me to make the same mistake again.
I paused for a moment, then stepped forward and placed my hand on my mother's forehead.
"Mom, are you okay? Why wouldn't you let me go?"
She sighed and spoke slowly.
"You know your brother's situation; who will take care of him if you leave?"
"That's impossible!"
I clutched the acceptance letter tightly.
"No matter what, I am going to college."
When my mother heard this, she grabbed my hair as if she had gone mad.
"Why didn't that car kill you back then? If you had cared for your brother properly, would he have ended up like this?"
The harder she pulled, the more it felt like my scalp was about to be ripped off.
"I want you to go to school; how can you go if I tear up your acceptance letter?"
She pushed me down onto the ground and reached for the letter.
"Mom, please let me go to college."
But she wouldn’t listen at all; all she wanted was to tear up my acceptance letter.
"Please, don't tear it, don't tear it."
I knelt on the ground, repeatedly bowing my head to plead with her, but she showed no signs of stopping.
Soon, the admission letter I had just received was reduced to a pile of shreds.
Heartbroken, I picked up the scraps of paper, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't piece them back together.
"Why? Why do this to me? Am I not your own child?"
Spit!
She stomped on my admission letter.
"Who else would give birth to you if not me? You ungrateful brat, do you want to deny your own mother?"
"Watch me beat you to death!"
My younger brother, who had been watching the whole scene from inside the house, quickly slid in front of me and handed a thorny vine to my mother.
Upon receiving the vine, a sinister smile spread across her face.
The thorny vine struck my body again and again, each hit piercing with pain.
"Haha, that's right! Mom, beat her to death!"
My brother cheered from the side as my mother grew more and more forceful.
Ouch, ouch, ouch...
"What is going on here?"
I let out a long sigh of relief; they had finally arrived.
In my previous life, as the only student in the county accepted into a prestigious university, Village Head Wang had come with the Teacher to understand my situation.
Little did they know that I had said I wouldn't attend college; no amount of persuasion from those Teachers could change my mind.
So just now, I deliberately provoked my mother into hitting me so that these Teachers would see it.
This time, I wanted to tear away this veil of shame in front of them and smoothly head off to university.
To escape this home, I intentionally angered my mother.
A Teacher in a white dress pulled me up and upon seeing my blood-stained shirt, her face filled with concern.
"Does it hurt?"
I stubbornly shook my head.
"Second Sister-in-law, what happened to the child?"
Village Head Wang's expression darkened. He had intended to use this opportunity to promote the village, but was caught off guard by Teacher witnessing this scene.
My mom gave an awkward smile.
"Ah, I told her not to go to college, but she wouldn't listen; she insisted on going."
"I think it would be better for her to get married early and use the bride price to treat my son's leg."
The Teacher who had been pulling me stepped in front of me protectively.
"Excuse me, parent, but that line of thinking is not right. The child has such good grades and has been accepted by the top schools in the country; how can you say she shouldn't go?"
My mom, seeing a stranger standing up for me, immediately became more animated.
