Chapter 4: The Elders (Part 1)

Enchantress | December 12, 2021

Zhang Yansheng can understand Zhang Heling’s emotions. This little girl seemed to always want to be a sister to her since she entered the Zhang’s house, maybe her instinct is to chase her big sister.

It’s just that Zhang Yansheng would never pay attention to her before.

However, Zhang Yansheng couldn’t understand Zhang Huan’s emotions.

She suppressed Liang Yingying just now. Not only did he not speak to his little wife, he also seemed to be …a little happy. What the hell is this?

In the past, whenever she was in conflict with Liang Ying Ying, Zhang Huan would always appear to be helpless and restless, and he usually stands on Liang Yingying’s side.

Aunt Luo has talked to her before and said: “Don’t be so bad tempered, maybe just a little bit. At first, your dad felt sorry for you, but you are so rowdy and you always yell at him. So, look at him now, he’s speaking for that woman.”

But at that time, Zhang Yansheng who was listening had lost her temper and said, “Why can’t I get angry with him? He didn’t even feel sorry for my mother!”

A bitch is worthy of a dog forever!1

Aunt Luo could only sigh.

Putting aside Zhang Huan’s incomprehensible emotion, Zhang Yansheng turned her attention to Liang Yingying.

Today, because the family of five was going out, but didn’t let the driver drive for them, so Zhang Huan drove the car instead. Liang Yingying was sitting in the co-pilot seat, Zhang Yansheng was sitting behind the driver’s seat, the little brat Zhang Shuocheng was sitting behind the co-pilot seat, and the little lolita Zhang Heling was sandwiched in the middle.

From this position, Zhang Yansheng can see Liang Yingying’s side face.

Zhang Yansheng actually can’t believe that Liang Yingying is still so young.

In her understanding, Liang Yingying looked like an old witch from the moment she appeared in front of her. She was a big mountain on Zhang Yansheng’s head which destroyed her life.

But actually, Liang Yingying was only 20 years old when she gave birth to Zhang Heling. She was only 29 this year, so she still hasn’t reached 30 yet.

Zhang Yansheng was 21 years old when she died. From the perspective of the reborned Zhang Yansheng, it means that she’s the same age as Liang Yingying, since she’s also considered as less than 30 years old.

Zhang Yansheng looked at her, the mountain that pressed her painfully and violently which seemed to be shrinking.

Zhang Heling’s voice sounded in the quiet car with disgust: “Why are you still carrying that?”

Zhang Shuocheng promptly said: “I’m bringing it! Why do you care?!”

“I am your sister! So, of course I care!”

“What’s wrong with you, sister?! Go away, it’s none of your business!”

Zhang Shuocheng is the apple of Liang Yingying’s eyes, so he was used to being arrogant and rude. As he spoke, his voice grew louder. In a closed space, the noise is extraordinarily loud which gives a headache.

Zhang Huan couldn’t stand it either and was about to speak to make Zhang Shuocheng be quiet, but Zhang Yansheng’s cold voice suddenly came from behind him: “Shut up.”

In this kind of situation, Zhang Yansheng would usually yell which became another main force that gave him a headache. But today, this eldest daughter is a little bit abnormal.

Zhang Huan couldn’t help but glance at the back from the rearview mirror. As he met Zhang Yansheng’s dark eyes, his eyes fainted.

Zhang Huan shuddered inexplicably and quickly concentrated on driving.

Zhang Yansheng used to yell at Zhang Shuocheng, but Zhang Shuocheng was not afraid at all.

Liang Yingying instilled the thought of ‘we are a family’ to both her children. Zhang Heling didn’t take it at all, but Zhang Shuocheng absorbed it completely. In his child’s heart, why does this annoying sister exist? She always quarreled with his mother, so it would be nice if they didn’t have her at home!

Liang Yingying always tells him not to be afraid of Zhang Yansheng. Although Zhang Yansheng yelled at him, she had never hit him. Little brats always bully the weak and fear the strong, so they are naturally more lawless.

But today, it’s very strange that this sister didn’t yell. She just glanced at him coldly and said ‘shut up’, so Zhang Shuocheng suddenly becomes timid. He always thinks that there’s something different about this sister today.

Children are naive, really cruel and callous, and instinctively aware of danger.

At this moment, Zhang Shuocheng sensed some danger.

He didn’t know that although Zhang Yansheng decided to live a good life in this life, she is a person who had died once. The hostility of her two lifetimes was in her eyes, and even Zhang Huan was scared when he saw it.

Zhang Shuocheng glanced in front of him asking for help. But his dad only glanced at his sister in the rearview mirror and said nothing. His mom turned her head and glanced, and she only said to Zhang Heling “Don’t keep arguing with your brother”, then turned her head back. Although Liang Yingying spoils Zhang Shuocheng, she is also a human in the end, who can’t stand the headache hearing the loud voices of children in a closed space.

Zhang Yansheng did not beat him nor scold him, but just told him to shut up. It seemed to have some effect? Liang Yingying did not back Zhang Shuocheng up.

The naughty child who was not supported by the parents will naturally be terrified.

Zhang Shuocheng shut up obediently.

Zhang Heling was sad. She clearly did nothing wrong, but like every time in the past, it was her who was criticized by Liang Yingying.

The little girl lowered her head and nearly broke down in tears.

She sniffed, raised her head, and looked at Zhang Yansheng.

What does she want from her? To console her?

Zhang Yansheng stiffly turned her head to one side, pretending to look at the street view outside the car.

A little lonely, Zhang Heling sadly put her hands under her legs, and looked down at her knees in a daze.

Psychologically speaking, children who often hide their hands are insecure.

The car was as quiet as the adults wanted it to be. Zhang Huan was in a good mood and Liang Yingying was also happy and relaxed.

After a long time, Zhang Yansheng turned her head and glanced at what Zhang Shuocheng was holding — the small water gun that resembled a pistol.

Great! Because she was afraid that he would not take it, she deliberately provoked him by saying “I’ll have Dad beat you”. Sure enough, he took this water gun as he did in her previous life.
