Xu Mumu quickly opened the door and went out. By this time, Xu Xue, the main character, should have been reborn.
No wonder Xu Minglei went to fetch a chicken egg for a while earlier; he must have been up to some mischief.
"Sis, you're not fully recovered yet. Why are you going out?" Despite being a troublesome kid, Xu Minglei was genuinely good to his sister Xu Mumu, and whenever they got into trouble, Xu Mumu would come up with ideas while Xu Minglei acted them out.
"I'm going out to take a look. Little brother, you should stop hitting people recklessly from now on." Xu Mumu looked seriously at Xu Minglei. Now that she was reborn, she hoped the people close to her wouldn't be bad.
In the book, Xu Minglei is very troublesome, naturally rebellious, like the kind who would raise the roof if not disciplined every three days, and he doesn't like studying—destined to be a little rascal.
"Sis, that damn girl Xu Xue hurt you so badly. Why do you want me not to hit her?" Xu Minglei was very unhappy.
"How can you be so stupid? What if you beat someone to death? Do you want to end up in jail?" Xu Mumu said helplessly as they both walked out of the room.
Looking at the frail girl sitting outside on the private land, Xu Mumu's gaze was sharp. She instantly noticed the hatred in Xu Xue's eyes when she saw them.
In the past life, Xu Xue accidentally caused Xu Mumu to fall into the river, Xu Mumu was ill for a long time, and her grandparents favored her, but there was also a wicked aunt.
The days in the second branch were originally hard, and they became even harder after that.
When she was eighteen, her aunt schemed with her grandparents to marry her to a widower old enough to be her father.
The man was an alcoholic, a gambler, abusive—he fulfilled every vice, and she lost two children because of him.
Later, the man got drunk and was beaten to death outside.
Thinking this would mark the end of her suffering, she tried to make money by starting a snack business, which luckily she was good at.
After earning some money, her days improved a bit.
Then she met the second man of her life, a teacher who was gentle, romantic, and charming like a light, deeply attracting her.
She thought she would live a happy life with him, but eventually discovered that he had a family and was with her because she was easily deceived and had some money.
With nothing left, Xu Xue developed suicidal thoughts and directly jumped into the river to end her life.
She didn't expect to be able to return to the very beginning in a rebirth, looking at everything familiar yet strange, Xu Xue held back her tears.
Since life could start over, she would definitely not tread the old path of her past life. They must split households, and her marriage must not be dictated by those two old coots.
She also planned to take revenge on the main branch. It was them who ruined her entire life.
Looking at Xu Mumu and her brother coming out, Xu Xue covered her wound on her forehead, ignoring them and directly getting up to leave.
She needed to go to the village clinic; she didn't want to have a scar.
In her past life, she had a scar on her forehead, which stayed for many years and caused her much ridicule.
Watching Xu Xue leave, Xu Xue knew what she was going to do but didn't care and went back to her room to rest, deciding to deal with future matters when the time came, as she was not someone to shy away from trouble.
Since Xu Xue was reborn, it wouldn't be long before the families split, and by then, the main branch would have to support the elderly.
Xu Mumu didn't care much about these. She had hands and feet and would definitely be able to support herself in the future, though she still needed to keep an eye on her family to ensure they didn't cause any trouble.
Above all, her own mother was the most cunning, filled with bad intentions.
The old couple of Xu Family were generally more favorable to boys than girls, except for Xu Mumu, who was raised by them since childhood. Xu Mumu had a good fate, looked beautiful, and was the eldest granddaughter, so naturally, they favored her more.
Xu Mumu's mother Li Caixia and her grandmother Madam Chen were from the same village, and even were distant relatives, so Madam Chen valued Li Caixia as the eldest daughter-in-law greatly.
"Sis, that damn girl went out, let's catch up and give her another beating." Xu Minglei rolled his eyes slyly.
"I told you not to. Did you forget what I just said?" Xu Mumu felt a headache coming; this troublesome kid.
"Sis, what's going on with you? You're acting weird." Xu Minglei looked puzzled at Xu Mumu. Typically, Xu Mumu would already be puffed up and bossing Xu Xue around to do everything.
"It's nothing, just thought of another way to deal with her. You don't need to worry." Xu Mumu calmly stated, needing to maintain her persona. She was still supposed to be the villain and a white lotus.
"Really? What method? Sis, tell me about it." Xu Minglei's eyes sparkled as he looked at Xu Mumu; this was more like her, this was his sister's style.
"It's a secret. I'm going to take a nap; you go play." Xu Mumu didn't intend to say much, she was lazy and didn't care to deal with Xu Xue, wanting only to organize her thoughts properly.
As long as Xu Xue didn't plot against her family, she couldn't care less about her.
"Alright, sis. I'll go fetch bird eggs for you." Xu Minglei nodded. As the grandson of the main branch, Xu Minglei was cherished, which is why he could attend school.
Not everyone in the Xu Family had the chance to study, the family was too poor, among those who studied, only Xu He and Xu Qingxing from the third branch had attended school.
From the grandson generation, it was just the main branch that studied; Xu Minghui finished middle school and didn't continue, Xu Mumu had slightly better grades and attended high school, and Xu Minglei was currently in elementary school in the village.
The third branch lived in the city, and their children studied there too.
"Hmm, go ahead." Xu Mumu nodded. She currently felt unwell all over and didn't want to move.
After Xu Minglei left, Xu Mumu returned to her bed, where the covers were still warm.
After drinking a bowl of water, Xu Mumu sat on the bed pondering over the contents of the book. It was a novel she read before the apocalypse. She only spent half a year in the apocalypse, so she roughly remembered the content of the novel.
After the apocalypse, she awakened a superpower, but her superpower was strength, making her very strong.
Previously, when they encountered mutated animals, in order to protect a seven or eight-year-old child from being attacked by a mutant tiger, Xu Mumu fought against the mutant tiger.
The fight attracted many mutated animals, the disparity in power was significant, and the team directly abandoned her and fled.
In the end, she was bitten to death by the mutated animals.
Being bitten and torn apart by a swarm of mutants, the pain of it still sends shivers down her spine.
She didn't expect to be reborn after death, even though it was into the book.
This still made Xu Mumu very happy. Who wants to die if they can live? Moreover, the air now is still so clean, without the zombie virus, nothing is dim and dreary, and there aren't zombies everywhere.
Even though it's a bit poor, Xu Mumu still really likes it here.
