In my previous life, I stopped my grandfather out of guilt. But this time, I won't.
Song Kang was woken up by the noise. He rushed out and yelled at me, "Sis, what do you mean?"
"Your grandfather is old, and it's one thing not to show gratitude, but how can you bully him?" As I spoke, Song Kang pulled my clothes out of the washing machine and stomped on them hard a couple of times.
"Grandpa, I've avenged you," he said proudly as he looked at me. "You said this piece of clothing was very important, right? Well, I just stepped on it. Let's see how you wear it now."
I looked at the clothes under Song Kang's feet and smirked slightly. "Song Kang, do you know what this outfit is?"
"What?" Song Kang paused for a moment.
"This is the suit I’m supposed to wear for my Coming-of-Age Ceremony after the college entrance exam." I pointed at the black footprints on the clothes and said calmly, "Now that you've stepped on it, it looks like a clown."
"You..." Song Kang was furious but couldn't say a word.
I turned around and went back to my room to change into my interview outfit. This farce had finally come to an end.
As for Song Kang and my dad... I smiled to myself. Their retribution would come soon enough.
Of course, this was just the first step. By the time my civil service exam results came out, it would also be time for Song Kang's college entrance exam.
On the day of Song Kang's exam, my dad, grandfather, and Song Kang took a group photo together and posted it on social media.
"Wenquxing has come to our home, and our whole family is here with you."
The three of them thought that my mom would definitely be very sad, but she had already made her decision. She wanted to move to the city where I work. She had already found a house and a job. She told me, "Ning Ning, I don't want to be a burden to you. Don't worry, I can definitely support myself."
My mom had made up her mind, so no matter how much my dad and grandpa hoped or fantasized, she acted as if she didn't see it. Even on the way to send Song Kang for his exam, the three of them started mocking me.
"Ning Ning, weren't you interviewing for a civil service position a few days ago? How did it go? Did you get in?" My dad asked me on purpose.
I knew he was trying to mock me. I replied lightly, "The results aren't out yet."
"Oh, they aren't out yet?" My dad pretended to be surprised. "Then you probably didn't pass."
"That's right. That day you missed the interview because of a piece of clothing, which means you just don't have that luck." My dad reached out and patted Song Kang's head. "Our Song Kang is impressive; with Wenquxing descending, he will definitely pass."
"Exactly." Grandpa nodded along. "Song Kang is Wenquxing, unlike you, who is a failure and can't even pass the civil service exam."
"I'm telling you, Song Kang is destined to be an important official in the future."
"That's right." My dad was very proud. "I even dreamed last night that Song Kang got first place."
"Dad," Song Kang said somewhat dissatisfied, "I'm definitely going to get into a top university this time; you can rest assured."
"Okay, okay."
My dad and grandpa were laughing heartily. The two of them began to fantasize about Song Kang getting accepted into Tsinghua University or Peking University.
“Dad, if I get accepted by both Tsinghua and Peking University, which school should I choose?” Song Kang had already started dreaming big.
Grandpa stroked his chin and pondered for a moment, “If both schools accept you, then you should go to Tsinghua.”
“Tsinghua sounds better, and then your sister can also attend your school for some extra polish.”
“Exactly.”
My dad excitedly took out his phone, “I’ll contact friends and family. When Song Kang finishes the exam, we’ll celebrate properly.”
Watching the three of them leave, my mom furrowed her brows, “Ning Ning, do you really think Song Kang can get into Tsinghua or Peking University?”
“Mom, what do you think?”
I smiled lightly and turned back to my room. In my previous life, Song Kang couldn’t even get into a junior college and ended up repeating a year just to barely pass the entrance exam.
