After Being Reborn and Regaining Her Identity, the True Heiress Is Spoiled in the Seventies-Chapter 51: The result of too much greed is that nothing falls.
Chapter 51
"Zhi Zhi sister, I also prepared gifts for sister-in-law and Yuan Yuan. I was originally thinking of giving it to them after they came back, you're too impatient." Zhi Xia said while simultaneously looking for the clothes in her space.
Fortunately, she remembered which box had the vintage clothes when she took clothes for Zhou Zhi Zhi earlier, so it was easy to find them.
Unlike the mall clothes sent by the zombies that were mostly fashion styles, the supplies worth millions specially prepared by the breeding tycoons were more characteristic of this era.
The pants were all straight black pants. Since it was a bit cool in the morning now, she chose long-sleeved tops, just right to wear now.
Taking advantage of the concealment of the sling bag, she took out two sets of clothes. "I watched as they were bought, I don't know if they will like them."
As for the size issue, women of this era can almost all do some sewing work. Even if they buy it themselves from the mall, it is impossible to buy a perfectly suitable size. It is common to buy something not quite right and then alter it themselves, so there is no need to worry about that.
Three sets of clothes at once, it must have cost a lot, making Zhou Zhi Zhi feel it was too extravagant.
"Zhi Xia, you...you are too polite, how can we accept this?"
"Zhi Zhi sister, I didn't feel bad at all when I came to trouble you guys. And now you are so polite with me, could it be you don't want me as a little sister?" Zhi Xia deliberately pouted, "And if you really feel bad, then be extra nice to me in the future. You also know I just got home. Although my brothers are very good, after all boys and girls are different. You are my cousins, how is that any different from real sisters?"
This was Zhi Xia's true thoughts.
She would resent Zhou Nan and An Jing Zhi for not being affectionate enough, because they were her biological parents. Between parents and children, there is an inseparable responsibility, no matter if it is from parents to children or children to parents.
The Zhou family was different. There was no responsibility between them.
People rely on each other. When the other party was willing to show kindness to her, she did not want to push that kindness away either.
Zhou Zhi Zhi was very touched. "Zhi Xia, as long as you are willing, from now on I will be your sister, and you will also be my sister, the same as Yuan Yuan."
Zhou Yuan Yuan was the daughter of the young master's family, one year younger than them, also 17 this year.
There were sounds of talking coming from the yard, it was Granny Zhou coming back.
The others had not come back because it was collective work. It was not possible for the whole family to take time off just because they had guests at home.
When Zhi Xia went out, Granny Zhou was saying to An Zhi Ang, "Don't go back tonight, eat here and sleep one night, play for a day tomorrow then go back?"
An Zhi Ang quickly declined, "Granny, normally I would definitely agree, but not today. Zhi Xia's matter cannot be delayed. We have to hurry back and get things done, so that we can rest assured. Otherwise it's easy to have nightmares."
Granny Zhou nodded in agreement, "That makes sense too. Since this is the case, granny won't keep you for dinner. Don't blame granny for not letting you eat. With just you siblings walking at night, you'd better leave early rather than late."
An Zhi Ang joked, "Don't worry about old age. I didn't plan on eating anyway. I just felt that since I came all this way, I should at least come see you right? Otherwise if you hear from others tomorrow that I came but didn't even enter your house, who knows, you might even blame me for it."
"Just you and your sweet talk, when has granny ever blamed you?" Granny Zhou scolded him jokingly, then turned and went into the room, "Wait here for now. There's nothing good at home. I dried some vegetables these days, and also pickled some salted vegetables. Granny made an extra pot of fermented beans for you to bring back this year. Tell your mom not to forget to sun them in the yard. They were just made a few days ago and not fully dried yet."
An Zhi Ang grinned, "How can I accept that? I didn't even bring anything this trip, yet I'm taking back so much, wouldn't that be taking too much advantage?"
"You just be smug about it." Granny Zhou was busy packing things, while An Zhi Ang was playing with the kids in the yard.
Zhou Xiangxiang and Zhou Huzi were both eating candy, probably given by An Zhi Ang. Especially Huzi, with sticky candy all over his chin.
Zhou Zhi Zhi went to Granny Zhou and they whispered to each other very closely, probably telling Granny Zhou about the clothes Zhi Xia gave them.
Zhi Xia saw that Granny Zhou had taken out the dried vegetable bags to pack up, but then opened them again and took out a few more handfuls of dried green beans.
The Zhou and An families had a huge gap between them over the years, but were able to get along so harmoniously because the Zhou family understood the boundaries in their hearts.
There was nothing good in the countryside, but they never lacked giving dried and pickled vegetables to Zhou Nan each year. And even though they knew the An family was better off, they never took the initiative to ask for anything.
Zhi Xia felt that both her grandmother and granny were very wise women.
That's why Zhou Nan lived such a happy life.
Probably the only misfortune in her life was having her child switched at birth. Even now that the truth was revealed, they could not return the children to their original families. Instead, she wavered between her biological and adopted daughter.
Just as the elders said, life is never perfect. If one is too greedy, the outcome is that nothing can be obtained. 𝘧𝓻ℯ𝑒𝑤𝓮𝒷𝓷𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Zhi Xia's feelings for her biological mother went from expectation at the beginning to disappointment now. And if An Mei Yun had a shred of gratitude for their upbringing, she would not have killed off the entire An family in the previous life, after Zhi Xia had already died.
She still remembered An Mei Yun's original words when Zhou Nan was on her deathbed. She said your love for me was only because An Mei Xia had already died, died without even a body left, eaten clean by wild beasts in the mountains. If she were alive, you would only abandon me over and over again, watching me die tragically, and only saying in the end that it was self-inflicted.
Because in that life where An Mei Yun did not transmigrate, due to her own misdeeds, everyone became disappointed in her, and she eventually died miserably and alone in a rented room.
So after rebirth, she hated everyone, feeling that it was others turning a blind eye and being ruthless that led to her miserable death.
She didn't know much about things in that life, but occasionally heard An Mei Yun mention it.
She would not judge right or wrong, but looking at this life, the protection An Jing Zhi and Zhou Nan gave her was enough to show that even after knowing she was not their biological child, An Jing Zhi and Zhou Nan did not immediately become disappointed in her.
On the contrary, in their initial interactions, their hearts still unconsciously leaned towards her.
In that life, she was called An Mei Xia. Even after finding her parents, the personality she was raised to have doomed her to a life of obedience and resignation.
And in An Mei Yun's eyes, this became her pretense of gentleness and weakness, and her inability to stand up for herself.
While An Mei Yun looked down on her, she also envied her ability to live a smooth life, and even when encountering misfortune, she could still turn danger into safety.
