My brother curled his lip and said, "I've already checked. There will be people to pick up the new students when we report, so I won't get lost."
Dad insisted, "But you've never been far from home before..."
My brother immediately retorted, "I'm an adult now; stop treating me like a child!" He then fabricated a series of reasons, saying he had already made plans with his classmates and that we would embarrass him if we tagged along.
Mom and Dad hesitated for a long time but ultimately didn't say anything more. I pretended to be helpful and suggested to my brother, "You could take the train a day early; it would save you some money."
My brother shot me a glare and replied, "I want to take the plane; it's none of your business!"
Mom and Dad looked a bit troubled. I continued to stir the pot, saying, "Mom and Dad, you should also consider my brother's future. Taking the train would save quite a bit of money."
My brother suddenly stood up and exclaimed, "If you can't bear to spend the money, then don't send me to school! Let me go work instead!"
Mom and Dad quickly reassured him, "Don't say that! We have money; we will definitely send you to school."
In the end, Mom and Dad didn't go with my brother to Beijing. They were reluctant to fly, and since my brother wouldn't let them take the train, they had no choice but to give up.
I entered Peking University Guanghua School of Management to study finance. At the same time, I used my memories from my past life to buy some stocks and made a small profit. I also hired a private investigator to keep an eye on my brother's activities.
My brother is now living in the suburbs of Beijing, spending his days playing games in internet cafes or hanging out with his friends.
I was bored, so I put on a fake school uniform and went to Tsinghua to take some photos, just to trick my parents. They were completely in the dark, showing off their superiority in the family group chat all day long, saying that my brother was doing great at school, had received a National Scholarship, and was going to participate in some competitions this year and study abroad next year. Relatives chimed in, saying my brother had an unlimited future and that our family’s ancestors must be smiling down on us.
Only I knew that my brother was about to face disaster. One day, my mom suddenly called me. "Why are you still receiving living expenses? Stop it right away and send the money to your brother!" I was confused and replied, "I haven't spent any money." My mom coldly said, "Didn't you get a scholarship? Just give it to your brother; he needs money right now."
I frowned and said, "I only received a National Scholarship, which is just a few thousand yuan—barely enough for tuition. How can I give him any money?" My mom insisted, "Then just don’t spend it; you can directly give it to your brother." I got angry and asked, "Why can't I spend it?"
My mom replied as if it were obvious, "Because your brother is a boy; he has many places where he needs money. Can’t you understand?" I was so mad I wanted to laugh: "Just because he’s a boy means he doesn’t have to work hard? I'm his sister; am I supposed to work and earn money for him to go to school?"
My mom's tone turned icy: "You’re a girl; you should start working earlier. What’s the use of studying so much?" She added sternly, "Just remember, you have to give your brother money. If you don’t..."
"You are ungrateful, a white-eyed wolf!" After saying this, Mom hung up the phone.
I was trembling with anger.
In my past life, I cared too much about my parents, which led to being bullied to death by them and my brother.
In this life, I will no longer be the one who supports my brother!
I hired a private investigator to look into my brother's financial sources.
The results shocked me.
My brother's living expenses mostly came from the family. Whenever he went out to eat, have fun, or buy clothes, he would ask Mom and Dad for money.
They believed that boys shouldn't be without money, so they generously gave it to him every time.
As for my brother, aside from forging documents, he had no survival skills and was too lazy to work.
Now, in order to make up for the financial gap caused by my brother's spending, my parents started taking on odd jobs together with Dad.
I smiled coldly.
It was time to reel in the net.
