Chapter 257 - 255: Slapping the Apocalypse Rebirth Girl 36
CHAPTER 257: CHAPTER 255: SLAPPING THE APOCALYPSE REBIRTH GIRL 36
Su Leqing dragged her weary body back to that dilapidated house.
As soon as she returned, she was scolded by Mother Yu.
Then, Mother Yu threw out a pile of clothes and demanded Su Leqing to wash them.
Su Leqing numbly fetched two buckets of cold water and started washing the clothes.
Her hands were soaked in the cold water until they became numb, yet she mechanically continued to scrub the clothes.
Her once delicate features had become frightful due to the prolonged labor without proper care.
Her fair skin had tanned with some spots from sun exposure, and her originally slender and clean fingers now had enlarged joints and calluses in her palms.
Her hair had also turned dry and yellow, and her skin had become extremely rough.
No matter how you looked at her, Su Leqing no longer possessed the delicate airs of a young lady of wealth; she now resembled an ordinary rural woman.
As Su Leqing rubbed the clothes, she couldn’t help but feel regret.
If only she hadn’t stolen Anning’s bracelet back then.
Without the bracelet, she wouldn’t have had those delusions, selling all her family property to buy those supplies, only to end up having to turn over the bracelet and the supplies.
If only she hadn’t called off her engagement with the Xiao Family.
That was the Xiao Family, the famously eminent Xiao Family, which many sought connections just to catch a glimpse of, and her grandfather had also put in great effort to secure this marriage arrangement. What was she thinking back then to want to cancel the engagement?
Xiao Yuan was so handsome, capable, and responsible, far better than Yu Ping in every way.
Even if life after the apocalypse in her previous life was hard and Xiao Yuan had no feelings for her, he still cared for her because of their engagement.
But what about Yu Ping?
Once he knew she had no more money, no family background to prop her up, he started to despise her, blaming her for everything, allowing her to be beaten and scolded without defending her.
Now it’s even better, Yu Ping is out enjoying himself every day, leaving her at home to face the insults and bullying.
She was reborn, so why is her life still so miserable?
After washing the clothes, Su Leqing had to start cooking. Only after having a meal and washing the dishes did she lay on the bed, and Yu Ping still hadn’t come home.
She took out the old mobile phone she had used before she left the Capital, and as soon as she opened a video website, she saw the grand wedding ceremony of Xiao Yuan and Anning.
The wedding was held at a manor of the Xiao Family.
The manor was decorated beautifully, surrounded by colorful roses, and Anning stood beside Xiao Yuan in a pure white wedding dress, looking delicate and beautiful. Xiao Yuan was handsome and unparalleled; the two of them together were indeed a perfect match.
Among the guests, some were known to Su Leqing. They were either wealthy or noble, sitting there, laughing and clapping their hands, extending their blessings to the couple.
The smile on the faces of Xiao Zhiyuan and his wife was unmistakable; they seemed very satisfied with Anning as their daughter-in-law, which was completely different from their attitude towards her.
And the tenderness in Xiao Yuan’s eyes was simply too prominent to be ignored.
Tang Anning, she seemed even happier and more fulfilled than her previous life.
In her previous life, although Tang Anning was the Savior, praised by many, by the time Su Leqing had passed away, she had not married, had not been intimate with any man, and her life was not that great.
But what about this life?
There was no apocalypse, Tang Anning’s days were stable and happy, she had been favored by the Xiao Family, showered with Xiao Yuan’s affection, and her future would surely be even more blissful.
And what about herself?
Why couldn’t she achieve happiness in her past life or present life?
In her past life, she died miserably. Even though she is alive in this life, it’s hardly any better than before.
Sometimes, for some people, being alive is worse than being dead.
But still, Su Leqing couldn’t bear the thought of dying.
Many, many years later, when Su Leqing gave birth to several daughters and was being scolded and abused by the Yu Family morning and night, she thought it might have been better if she had died earlier. Then she wouldn’t have to suffer, nor would she have to bring her daughters into this world to suffer.
At that time, Anning had developed several lifesaving drugs and had won the Nobel Medicine Prize, becoming a respected scholar and scientist.
Sometimes, Su Leqing would see Anning on the news and hear her name from time to time.
Anning didn’t just make outstanding contributions at work, but she also had an exceptionally happy marriage. Xiao Yuan was devoted to her, and the Xiao Family treated her with a lot of respect and love. She gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl; her life was simply perfect.
Moreover, Anning’s twin nephew and niece were also incredibly intelligent, getting into university at the age of thirteen. Jixiang studied physics, and Ruyi followed Anning’s path to study medicine. In just a few years, before even turning eighteen, they had already obtained their doctorate degrees.
Both children were talented and good-looking, and many noble families in the Capital were eager to arrange future marriages for their own children with them.
Tang Anning, she truly lived a life that others envied and was a real winner in life.
At that time, Su Leqing had been worn down by life to the point that she couldn’t even muster up any hatred anymore.
She tried to understand but couldn’t comprehend why Tang Anning was so lucky, why she had such a good life in both her past and present lives, and was so respected by everyone.
Su Leqing would never understand this for the rest of her life.
She never knew that in one’s lifetime, one cannot rely on others; the only one to rely on is oneself. Only by being strong, independent, and steadfast can you live the life you wish for. Only by harboring good intentions towards life can life reciprocate with kindness.
In her past life, Tang Anning used her superpower to treat many people and earned the respect of everyone at the base. Later, she contributed her Space Spiritual Artifact, saving countless lives. She repaid others with the greatest kindness and naturally received kindness in return.
In this life, Anning spent her whole life researching various medicines. The lifesaving drugs she developed saved countless lives, and she even developed a cure for the Zombie Virus, ultimately ending the apocalypse. She kept saving people, contributing her strength to the world, and naturally, she was respected by the majority.
But how could Su Leqing, who didn’t want to rely on herself and always hoped for unearned gains, expect to live a good life?
After Anning passed away, those who had been helped by her medicines spontaneously took to the streets to bid her farewell.
She earned tremendous Merit in this life.
Back in the Nihility Space, Anning saw Tang Anning again.
Tang Anning no longer held any grievances.
She smiled, "Thank you. You’ve raised Jixiang and Ruyi well. You didn’t let them experience the chaos of the apocalypse. You... did so much better than I did."
Anning also smiled, "You’re welcome. This is what you deserve."
Indeed, Anning now had great respect for Tang Anning.
In fact, in Su Leqing’s past life, after Su Leqing died, Tang Anning single-handedly developed a medicine that cured the Zombie Virus. After that, no more humans were infected, and many zombies were healed and became normal humans, bringing the apocalypse to an end.
Such a seemingly delicate girl was changing the world bit by bit with her own strength, never complaining in good times or bad, but living her life well and helping others.
Tang Anning was indeed a particularly kind girl, worthy of respect.
Anning smiled as she took out a bracelet, "This is your ancestral treasure, a Space Spiritual Artifact."
Tang Anning waved her hand, "It’s of no use to me anymore. Keep it."
Anning, however, attached the bracelet to Tang Anning, "This is yours. I’ve linked the space with your soul. From now on, you will also have a Golden Finger."
Tang Anning was startled, then she felt a faint connection in her soul. Gratefully, she looked at Anning, "Thank you."
Anning infused a strand of Merit into Tang Anning, "Go ahead. In your next life, you will live very happily. Life will always treat you kindly, and fortune will always follow you."
