The sky was overcast, the wind was howling, and the room was dimly lit.
Grandma Chen sat on the edge of the kang, looking at Wang Aijuan sitting opposite with a complex expression.
"Aijuan, you have a job, a husband, and children. Isn't your life going well? Ruansoft has been single all this time. She finally got into college, and you want her to give up her spot for you. What will she do in the future? I arranged for her to get that job. When you asked for it, she didn't hesitate to give it to you. I thought she was still young and didn't say anything. How can you now want to take it from her—"
"Then give her the job! I'll go to college!"
Wang Aijuan's tone was urgent. If she could, she would go to report with her acceptance letter right now.
College!
This was something she had never dared to think about before. Now the opportunity was right in front of her, how could she not seize it?
Seeing Wang Aijuan being unreasonable, the usually kind Grandma Chen's face darkened. "No! Ruansoft got into college on her own. No one can take that away from her! Just because you didn't get in, you can't try to take it from her!"
"Why not! I'm her older sister, if I want her to give it to me, she has to! You old hag, if you dare to stop me, I'll make you regret it—"
The more Wang Aijuan spoke, the more agitated she became. She pushed the kang table towards Grandma Chen with both hands.
Unexpectedly, the force was too strong, and the table knocked the elderly Grandma Chen down. Behind her was a basket of sewing tools, with a pair of large scissors inside. With the fall, her head hit the scissors directly.
Seeing this, Wang Aijuan was startled and sat on the kang in a daze.
The door suddenly pushed open from outside, and Su Ruansoft ran in panting.
"Grandma, I'm back, I—"
Before Su Ruansoft could finish speaking, she saw Grandma Chen lying in a pool of blood.
"Grandma, what happened to you?"
Su Ruansoft ran to the edge of the kang and noticed that Grandma Chen's face was as pale as snow, and her body lay there almost motionless.
A large amount of bright red blood flowed from the back of her head, soaking her clothes and the sheets underneath.
Blood!
Su Ruansoft was shocked, her pupils contracted, and she trembled as she instinctively reached out to check Grandma Chen's breathing, but felt nothing. Her heart sank to the bottom.
She turned her head to look at Wang Aijuan and shouted, "What did you do to her?!"
Wang Aijuan finally came to her senses from her daze and kept waving her hands, "I didn't do anything, I just pushed the table, she fell by herself, it's not my fault! It's her own fault for not letting you give me the college spot! Don't blame me! It's all her fault! Don't falsely accuse me!"
Wang Aijuan's words were incoherent, but Su Ruansoft understood the gist.
She did all this just for the college spot!
Su Ruansoft stood up abruptly, opened the kang cabinet, and took out the college acceptance letter that Wang Aijuan had been longing for.
"Do you want this?"
The college acceptance letter!
Wang Aijuan's eyes lit up.
Rip!
Su Ruansoft tore the acceptance letter in half, then shredded it and stuffed a handful into her mouth.
"Go to college? Dream on! You'll never have a chance in this lifetime!"
Wang Aijuan's eyes widened, her expression turning from hopeful to fierce. "Su Ruansoft! I'll kill you!"
Seeing Wang Aijuan jump off the kang, Su Ruansoft turned and ran towards the door.
She couldn't die now!
She had to make sure Wang Aijuan faced the consequences she deserved!
Su Ruansoft ran fast, not paying attention to what was in front of her, and collided with someone.
Before she could look up to see who it was, she heard Wang Aijuan's almost frantic shout, "Mom, stop her! That bitch ate the acceptance letter! Make her spit it out! Spit it out!"
