C8 Sister Don't Think too Much!!

Ruonan's mother put down the clothes she was holding and sighed, "It's not that I don't want her to go to school, but what's the point for a girl? She'll just end up getting married anyway."

After a while, the woman continued, "Did you see that girl from the Smith family last night? She just says whatever she wants. She must have picked up those bad habits at school. Who knows... heh."

Hearing her odd chuckle at the end, Ruonan, who was no child, understood perfectly well what she meant.

"Splash!"

A sudden burst of water erupted on the surface, drenching the two women across from it.

The two women immediately looked up angrily, only to see a girl of about seventeen or eighteen standing there.

"What a big fish!" Ruonan shouted, pointing at the rippling water.

Ruonan's mother was seething, but the other middle-aged woman pointed at Ruonan and yelled, "You little brat, can't you see we're doing laundry here?"

Ruonan feigned surprise and said, "Oh, sorry! I didn't see you there."

"Are you blind?" Ruonan's mother couldn't hold back anymore. "We're right here doing laundry, and you didn't see us? Who would believe that?"

Ruonan replied calmly, "Well, I've been standing here for a while, and neither of you noticed me. Does that mean you're blind too?"

The two people exchanged odd glances but didn't say anything. They had been chatting happily and hadn't noticed Zhou Ruonan standing nearby. Seeing their expressions, Ruonan let out a cold laugh and walked away. She didn't see the point in getting upset with people like them, but she couldn't stand hearing some of the things they said. Their sarcastic remarks were just irritating.

"That girl deserves to stay single forever!"

"Didn't she just finish her college entrance exams? With her attitude, I doubt she'll get in anywhere."

"Her? If she gets into college, my family would be rolling in money!"

Ruonan didn't hear these comments as she walked away. She was unsure how to gather enough money for her and Dawei's tuition in just a few months. Initially, she thought making money in this era would be easy with her skills, but in practice, she felt inadequate. The things she knew didn't exist in this time. She remembered when TikTok was just starting, and she was a minor internet celebrity with around a million followers. But here, her talents seemed useless.

She could write novels, having picked up the hobby after retiring in her previous life, but she doubted if anyone would accept online novels now. Ultimately, she was still stuck because of money.

"Man, money really is a roadblock!" Ruonan sighed as she sat by the riverbank.

After a while, Dawei came running over. Seeing Ruonan sitting there, he hurried to her side.

"Sis, don't do anything rash! Dad was just speaking out of anger," Dawei said, wrapping his arms tightly around Ruonan from behind, worried she might jump in on a whim.

Ruonan couldn't help but laugh at Dawei's concern. She turned to him and said, "Dawei, what are you thinking? I'm not done living yet! Why would I just end it all? Besides, I've been sitting here for a while now. If I wanted to jump, I would have done it already."
