Chapter 13: Stop Acting

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Perhaps because he usually saw her, he recognized her at a glance.

It was unlike Auntie Zhao, who took a long time to recognize her.

Maybe the more familiar someone is with someone, the easier it is to recognize them?

However, when she returned home last night, her family did not notice the change in her. Instead, they felt that she was not as willing to endure curses and beatings as before!

Maybe last night she’d been pretending to try to make herself feel the same?

In addition, it was dark, so the family didn’t notice?

She didn’t know!

But since when did people in the family pay much attention to her?

They didn’t care if she lived or died.

Today was different. She wasn’t going to pretend anymore. She wanted people to know she was different!

Actually, if she pretended for too long, someone would notice.

After thinking about it, Li Fu’er asked, “Did you say that Cousin is back?”

“That’s right, your family is very happy! You also know that your cousin is the most important person in your family. It’s obvious whenever he comes home! However, I heard that you were fooling around with someone? You’re still so young, yet you actually learned to fool around with others. Do you want to tell Auntie? I kind of want to know, but you seem to be different.”

As Aunt Wang spoke, she smiled wretchedly. Her triangular eyes sized up Li Fu’er.

It was as if she was trying to figure something out.

Li Fu’er faced Madam Wang, who was smiling wretchedly. She called out, “Madam Wang!”

This Madam Wang had always been like this. She liked to size people up and gossip. She would talk about all the gossip in the village. As she lived nearby, she knew very well. Was it about her this time?

She said, “I’m going in. My family is waiting. I’m already late.” She didn’t want to talk and moved forward.

“Sigh.” Seeing this, Aunt Wang sighed again and wanted to stop her.

However, when he thought of Sister Fu’s fate, she was afraid that she would be jinxed. She could only follow behind her and ask curiously, “Sister Fu, you haven’t said who you’re fooling around with.”

“There’s no such thing. I’m just hiding.” Li Fu’er turned around and told Madam Wang.

Without stopping, she entered the house.

After entering the house, she could no longer hear Aunt Wang’s words.

The next moment she saw someone.

The cousin that Auntie Wang had mentioned.

Her eldest cousin was coming out now.

His green clothes were not luxurious, but on him, he looked tall and straight. His face was like jade. In addition, he had one hand behind his back and the other was holding a book.

He looked like a scholar.

He could not hide his scholarly aura at all. He was not like the Li family at all!

She had also wondered how it could be that he was born at home and was even the eldest son of her uncle and aunt!

How could Uncle and Aunt give birth to someone like Eldest Cousin?

Yes, her eldest cousin was the eldest grandson of the eldest branch.

The most important person in the family.

However, it had been a long time since she had seen her eldest cousin!

When was the last time they met? It seemed like it was when her eldest cousin had a break.

Her eldest cousin usually studied in town and didn’t come home easily. He only came back during his break.

Was it his break time now? She couldn’t quite remember. She had been thinking about herself since she almost died. She had forgotten everything else.

Calculating the time, it didn’t seem like it was time for a break. Then why did Big Brother come back?

Speaking of which, this eldest cousin was the second person in the family who treated her well.

The family was also very unhappy about this!

When she heard Aunt Wang say that he was back, she did not think much about it. She did not expect to see him the moment she entered the house.

“Big Brother,” Li Fu’er called.

“Eldest sister.”

Li Fu also looked at his cousin in front of him for a long time with a stunned expression.

“What’s wrong, big brother?”

Li Fu’er could tell that her brother was still confused. Her brother probably felt that he did not know her anymore, so she took a few steps closer.

When Li Fu saw this, his expression faded. “Eldest sister has changed.”

Then he looked around her.

“I’ve become a different person, have I?” said Li Fu’er.

“Your height and spirit are different. You don’t look like you. If you hadn’t walked into the house, I wouldn’t have recognized you. You were originally different.” Li Fu thought about his poor cousin’s original appearance. She was weak and pale. She couldn’t do anything.

She was a far cry from her second cousin.

She had finally grown up, but she was still weak and bullied.

Many times, he couldn’t stand it anymore, but all he could do was help in time!

He was the eldest grandson in the family and had a lot to do. He had to study and carry a lot of responsibilities. He also had to be filial to his elders and could not protect her blindly. Furthermore, he was often not at home.

If he helped too much, his family would be unhappy. If he was not at home, they might bully his cousin even more behind his back. If he did not help her, she would not be able to survive!

He knew why it was like this at home. He didn’t believe in curses, but he couldn’t let his family believe it either.

It was really different now!

He wondered why she had changed so much!

At first, he thought that it was because he had not seen her for a long time that she felt unfamiliar. Now that he looked closer, the changes were greater.

What’s that on her face? It’s dark? He could notice it without looking!

But wiping it wouldn’t change her!

Li Fu’er lowered her head. “Brother, do you think so? Do you think it’s good or bad to change?”

“It’s good that you’ve changed. At least it’s reassuring,” Li Fu muttered softly.

When his second uncle was young, he had asked around and found out that he was better than him. His second aunt was good, but his eldest sister was not like them. He had always felt that his eldest sister was not like his sister. Now, she was a little like her. He looked down and approached her.

Li Fu’er looked up. “Why did Big Brother come back?”

“I came back because I had something to do. When I got home, I heard some things. They said you were missing. They were all worried and thought…” Li Fu spoke of some of the things he had heard when he came back.

“Big Brother, do you think everyone is really worried about me? Do you believe them?”

Li Fu’er raised her head and asked, her small body standing very straight.

“Eldest Sister, you…” Li Fu looked at his eldest cousin, who was standing upright, and was momentarily speechless.

In the end, he wanted to ask her where she had been and why she had disappeared. He thought about it but didn’t ask. He couldn’t continue. “Why did you change?” he wanted to know. How did you become so different in the blink of an eye?

‘Could something have happened?’

Li Fu’er said, “If I tell Big Brother I met a god and got better—”

Li Fu said, “How could there be immortals?”

Li Fu’er said, “Big Brother doesn’t believe in immortals? How can you explain my change if it’s not an immortal?”

Li Fu didn’t know. He shook his head.

“Brother Fu, Brother Fu!”

At that moment, someone’s voice came from inside.

Li Fu’er heard that it was her biological grandmother. Her lips curled up as she looked inside.

Of course, Li Fu heard it too. His expression changed as he looked at his cousin worriedly. He wondered what his grandmother and the others would do when they saw his cousin.

But his cousin in front of him had changed. She wasn’t so pale. Her demeanor had changed. He didn’t have to worry so much.

“Big brother.”

Li Fu’er called out again.

“Grandma will wait for us,” Li Fu said.

“Going in?”

Li Fu’er asked the question, but didn’t wait for an answer. She walked past her cousin and went inside.

When Li Fu saw this, he thought that his eldest sister had changed a lot. He stared at the small figure in front of him and followed.

When they reached the central room, Grandma was coming out. He called out.

“It’s Brother Fu.”

When Madam Li heard Brother Fu call out, she immediately smiled like an old chrysanthemum. However, when she saw the brat beside him, her expression changed and became ferocious.

“How dare you come back, you wretched girl! Go away!” She flung her hand at her with a bang.

Li Fu’er was speechless.

She quickly retreated and dodged!
