Reborn in the 80s: Everyone Falls For Me-Chapter 47 - 46 Crooked Reasoning

Each person came with some excuse, but in reality, they just wanted to see if Xu Niannian really had become beautiful again.

After seeing her, each person returned home with a stony face.

Just what is the secret of this daughter of the Xu family, Dawei’s daughter?

Although in that era, everyone generally favored boys over girls, they all understood one truth: if a girl is beautiful, as long as nothing untoward happens, she could definitely marry into a good family.

These days, morals were strictly enforced; not everyone dared to be a hooligan openly.

Dawei had been splitting wood in the house, and he was shocked too when he saw Xu Niannian return.

Xu Niannian quickly trotted out her prepared story.

Dawei, who doted on his daughter like his life, naturally wouldn’t suspect anything.

He happily watched as people from the village came to his home under various other pretexts just to see his own daughter, making him profoundly proud.

After everyone had left and Xu Niannian’s mouth was dry from talking, she looked up and saw Xu Zhiqiang staring at her.

Xu Niannian, feeling a bit guilty, smacked her lips, “Zhiqiang, what are you looking at?”

“Sister, why are you lying to people?”

Xu Niannian was startled and almost fell off her stool.

Had he realized she was lying to people?

As she was anxiously pondering how to fool Xu Zhiqiang, she heard him say, “That medicine clearly wasn’t bought from the street-side quack.”

On hearing that this was his concern, Xu Niannian’s heart settled back down.

Really, she was scared to death.

She had thought he had discovered something about her space.

Before telling this lie, Xu Niannian had already thought about how to explain to Xu Zhiqiang.

Since he’d been following her these past few days, he definitely knew where she had bought the medicine.

She said, “Didn’t you notice that those people just wanted to find out where to buy the medicine?

What if everyone goes to buy it, becomes beautiful, and overshadows your sister?”

The original owner of the body was extremely vain, and as soon as Xu Niannian said this, Xu Zhiqiang instantly understood.

His sister was afraid of others becoming as white as her.

After saying this, Xu Niannian still nervously asked Xu Zhiqiang, “Zhiqiang, don’t you think I’m too selfish?”

Xu Niannian knew this excuse would definitely make Xu Zhiqiang have a negative impression of her.

But there was no other way, she could only say that, or it would make no sense.

If everyone went to that store to buy medicine and then realized it was useless, wouldn’t that just prove she had lied?

She really cared about this younger brother.

Not only because she finally had a family, but also because of Xu Zhiqiang’s protection.

The feeling of being protected by a family member was truly wonderful, and she didn’t want to lose it for anything.

Seeing Xu Niannian’s nervous eyes, Xu Zhiqiang was stunned for a moment.

When he met her overly beautiful face, his cheeks flushed instantly.

“No matter what, you are still my sister.”

So, as long as she didn’t bully them, he would always support her.

The reason why Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zhicheng were so easily moved by Xu Niannian’s actions wasn’t because she owed them a great debt or treated them exceptionally well.

It was because Xu Niannian was their blood sister.

Their previous hatred and distaste for her stemmed from the expectation that this longed-for family member would be good to them, yet she turned out to be the very person who treated them the worst.

Everyone craves something.

For Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Zhicheng, their greatest craving was the care from their kin.

Xu Duoyu was still young and didn’t understand many things.

But even so, he was close to her so easily because Xu Niannian was his blood sister.

Hearing Xu Zhiqiang’s words, Xu Niannian felt incredibly moved in an instant.

“Zhiqiang…

you’re really kind,” she said, her voice choked with emotion.

Xu Niannian was someone with a tender heart, especially valuing her hard-won family since she had grown up without any blood relatives.

Seeing her cry suddenly, Xu Zhiqiang panicked: “Sister…

sister, don’t…

don’t cry.”

Yang Cuihua had just arrived home when she heard Xu Zhiqiang’s words.

She rushed over and pulled Xu Niannian to her, asking frantically, “Baby Nian, what’s wrong?

Don’t scare me.”

When Yang Cuihua pulled Xu Niannian to her, the first thing she noticed wasn’t her daughter’s dramatic change in appearance, but the tears in her eyes.

“Why are you crying, Baby Nian, my Baby Nian?

Who has bullied you?” Yang Cuihua’s face immediately grew stern, with the air of someone ready to grab a knife and fight anyone who dared to bully Xu Niannian.

Xu Niannian quickly wiped her tears and explained to Yang Cuihua, “Mom, no one’s bullying me.

It’s Zhiqiang…”

“What?

Xu Zhiqiang, you bunny brat, you’ve got some nerve, daring to bully your sister.

I’ll beat you dead,” she said, ready to rush over.

Before Xu Niannian could even finish her words, Yang Cuihua interjected, scaring her into hastily hugging her mother’s waist: “Mom, mom, slow down, let me finish what I was saying!”

“Let go, Baby Nian.

Let mom take care of this first, then you can continue,” Yang Cuihua said, glaring.

Xu Zhiqiang’s face darkened immediately.

Xu Niannian, caught between laughter and tears, and afraid that Yang Cuihua would misunderstand, hurriedly said, “Mom, Zhiqiang hasn’t bullied me.

He’s been nice to me.

I’m crying because I’m moved.”

Hearing this, Yang Cuihua was taken aback and asked incredulously, “Really?”

Xu Niannian helplessly replied, “Really, Mom.

I’m not lying to you.

Zhiqiang is being good to me.

He wouldn’t bully me.”

Xu Niannian said this hoping it would make Yang Cuihua be a bit nicer to Xu Zhiqiang.

To which Yang Cuihua responded, “He should be good to you.

After all, you are his sister.”

Xu Niannian: “… And Zhiqiang is still my brother, so I should also be good to him.”

Hearing this, Yang Cuihua, worried that Xu Niannian would naively give all her hard-earned money to her brothers, quickly started to work on changing her thoughts.

“That’s not the same.

They only have one sister like you, but you have three younger brothers.”

Xu Niannian was immediately at a loss for words: “…”

So it was still the rarity that made something valuable.

Xu Zhiqiang had long since grown accustomed to Yang Cuihua’s reasoning.

In the past, when Xu Niannian treated them poorly, every time he heard this talk, Xu Zhiqiang would be upset for a long time, feeling as if his heart was being sliced with a knife.

Now that Xu Niannian was being kind to the three brothers, Xu Zhiqiang unexpectedly found that it seemed quite reasonable upon hearing Yang Cuihua’s words.

They, the three brothers, should be good to their sister.
