I was reborn in the past.
I realized I had been reborn when I pulled out the small notes and other items my grandfather had stuffed into my bag to "help" me pass the civil service exam. In my previous life, my grandfather had opened my exam bag without permission and put in things that were against the rules. I was caught by the invigilator, deemed to be cheating, and banned from taking the exam for five years.
As I was expelled from the examination room, I was still puzzled, as I hadn’t put anything in the bag myself. But when I confronted my grandfather at home, pulling out the items from the bag and throwing them in front of him, he feigned innocence: "I'm your grandfather, how could I harm you? I'm doing this for your own good."
My younger brother stood by my grandfather's side and shoved me: "Exactly, it must be because you didn't study well that you're blaming Grandpa."
In my previous life, I was so angry that I couldn't speak. After this happened time and again, it wasn't long before I was diagnosed with severe depression. When my condition worsened, I asked them to call the police and report that my grandfather had molested me.
Upon hearing this, my grandfather panicked. He slapped himself several times and cried out: "What sin have I committed? I'm old now, and yet my own granddaughter wants to send me to prison. I can't live anymore..."
My father tried to persuade him: "Dad, don't do this. Ning Ning doesn't understand; don't take it personally."
My dad frowned again: "Child, why are you becoming more unreasonable as you grow up? Your grandfather is old; it's natural for him to get confused. He just cares for you."
My brother angrily said: "So what if he just wants to sleep with her? It won't cost him anything."
"Sis, you're being unreasonable. If Grandpa wants to sleep with you, just let him; you won't lose anything anyway."
"If you really don't want to be bothered, just find a man and get married."
I insisted on calling the police, saying: "Molesting a minor is a crime; he will go to jail."
My brother kicked at me directly: "Song Ning, don't push your luck. With your character, how can you be picky? Just get married already."
My grandfather pointed at me and scolded: "You’re taking advantage of me and then acting innocent! I'm your own grandfather; how could I harm you?"
"Other women want me to sleep with them; why would I refuse?"
"What's wrong with being slept with a few times? Why are you making such a fuss?"
I looked at them in disbelief.
No one agreed with me about calling the police. Later, I committed suicide. After my death, I could still hear their voices.
"I told her long ago not to take that civil service exam and just find a factory job. She wouldn't listen, and now look, she lost her life over it."
"Exactly, what's the point of seeking death when you can't even pass? She's really useless."
"And you, she's your granddaughter. How could you do such a thing? Have some shame."
"How was I supposed to know she couldn't take a joke? I was just teasing her a bit. Isn't that also training her skills for dealing with men in the future?"
"Enough, enough. The person is dead; why are we still talking about this? Just bury her quickly."
No one thought about seeking justice for me. Even after my death, they blamed me for being unworthy. Just like now, they don't believe Grandpa did anything wrong. Grandpa made mistakes, but I was the one who suffered.
In my past life, I was disgusted by Grandpa's actions. In this life, I've decided to protect myself and not meddle in others' affairs, letting Grandpa face the consequences of his own actions.
I crumpled that note into a ball and tossed it into the trash can. Acting as if nothing had happened, I hummed a tune and went downstairs.
Behind me, Grandpa's voice came through: "Ning Ning, what's wrong?"
"Nothing," I replied without turning back.
In my past life, I cared too much about my family's opinions. So even though I knew what Grandpa did was wrong, I still tried to persuade him not to do such things out of concern. But he shut me down with, "I'm old; I just want to do some good and help people." He even told me that if I didn't help out at home, I should get out of this house.
In my past life, I sacrificed too much for this family. In the end, I suffered a mental breakdown and met an untimely death. In this life, I will not let anyone hurt me again. If anyone tries to manipulate or bully me like in my previous life, I will make them pay the price.
