Chapter 2 — Life Changing Pill

That evening, I went back to my room to pack up my books. Tham Tri Thu leaned at the door, smiling as if he had won the whole world.

"Second sister, in your past life, thanks to the black pill, you became the Dean of the Department."

“In this life, it's my turn.”

I looked up at it.

“Do you want to be a doctor?”

It froze for a moment, then laughed coldly: "It doesn't matter what I want to do, the important thing is, I will take away all your ways."

"I'll give you a taste of what it feels like. You've obviously worked hard all your life, but in the end it's still just a waste of money."

I closed the book.

“Tham Tri Thu, in your previous life, you fell into that dead end, not because of the white pill.”

“It's because you're lazy, greedy, stupid, and cruel.”

His expression changed immediately.

“Are you reincarnated too?”

I did not answer. But my silence is the answer. Tham Tri Thu stared at me, the excitement in his eyes gradually turning into resentment.

“Okay.”

“That would be even more fun.”

"Tham Tri Ha, this time let's see who will laugh last."

I watched it turn and leave. The moment the door closed, I engraved the knife that stabbed me in the chest in my previous life deep into my heart. In this life, I will never consider her my sister again. 2. The next morning, the homeroom teacher indeed called.

“Tri Ha, congratulations!”

“My self-scored scores are very close. The school has compared several sets of answers, and there is a high possibility that I will be in the top 20 in the entire province.”

I held the phone tightly, smiling slightly.

“Thank you.”

The teacher on the other end of the line was silent for a moment, then asked again: "Is everything okay at home? Yesterday my sister texted me, asking if she could change her wish, saying she wanted to study medicine." My eyes turned cold.

“What did it ask you?”

“Ask me which school I plan to apply to, why I want to study clinical medicine, and ask if I have collected specialized documents yet.”

The teacher's voice was a bit hesitant.

“Tri Ha, your sister has never liked studying before, has she?”

I lowered my eyes.

"She's probably thinking clearly lately."

Hang up the phone, I walked out of the room. There was no one in the living room. My parents went to the market early to pack up their goods, and Tham Tri Thu was also not home. My instincts told me something was wrong. Entering my parents' room, I saw that the iron box at the bottom of the wardrobe had been pried open. The cash inside disappeared. That's the tuition money my parents have been saving for so long. A total of thirteen thousand yuan. There's also the bonus money I've been taking for excellent student exams for the past few years. I immediately called Tham Tri Thu. When the phone connected, it was very noisy, like being at a shopping mall.

“Second sister, did you find out so quickly?”

I tried to hold back my anger.

“You took the money?”

“That's right.”

It laughed very comfortably.

“Isn't our parents' money also for us to spend in the future?

What if I use it first?

“Tham Tri Thu, that's tuition money!”

“Your tuition money?”

His voice suddenly sounded harsh.

“Based on what is it yours?”

“From childhood to adulthood, as long as you study well, everything in the family comes first.”

“What about me?

I wanted to buy a dress, but my mother said she didn't have any money.

“Do you know what I hated the most after I married into a wealthy family in my previous life?”

“What I hate most is when others say I don't have a teacher nourished, without knowledge, like a rich man."

“You owe me these things!”

I laughed when I heard it.

"You don't go to school, is it because I forbid you?"

“If you go to the exam and submit a blank paper, am I forcing you?”

“After you got married, you despised your parents and criticized them for coming to your house to make you lose face. Is that what I taught you?”

The other end of the line was silent for a few seconds. Then Tham Tri Thu sneered: "Stop scolding me from standing at the pinnacle of morality."

“I tell you, I won't pay.”

“Aren't you very talented?

Think about it yourself.” It hangs up. I stood in the room, my palms were cold. In my previous life, after eating the black pill, the first thing I did was risk my life to make money. I shoulder most of the household expenses and also pay university tuition for Tham Tri Thu. At that time, I thought she was just a girly, playful girl who didn't understand things. Only later did I understand that there are people who don't understand things. It's that they take your sacrifice for granted. At noon, my parents came home and discovered they had lost money. My mother was so worried that she almost fainted. My father squatted outside the door, smoking one cigarette after another. I recounted the incident. My mother's first reaction was: "Or does Thu Thu have something urgent?" I looked at her: "Mom, the money he took away was my tuition." My mother's lips moved: "You study well, the school definitely has a scholarship. As for Thu Thu, since she was little, she hasn't been as smart as you, her heart is miserable..." It's the same again. It was the same in the previous life. Tham Tri Thu just cries a little, the whole world owes her. I'm not allowed to feel sorry for myself. As long as I feel sorry for myself, I don't understand what's going on. My father's face darkened and said: "Wait until he comes home, I'll tell him to take out the money." But Tham Tri Thu did not return. At 8 pm, I received the photo it sent. Big bed in the hotel, designer handbags, food delivered to the table. Accompanied by a line: "Second sister, are you scared now?"

“No money to apply, no money to go to college, the white pill slowly destroys me.”

“In this life, what will you use to win against me?”

I stared at the screen, my fingers slowly tightening. The next second, the landlady arrived. She stood outside the door, her face not looking good.

"Mr. Tham, my house is no longer for rent. Please move out tomorrow."

My father was stunned: "Miss Vuong, your contract hasn't expired yet?" The landlady threw the deposit on the table: "Someone paid 3 times the rent, it's settled today." I don't need to guess to know who it is. Sure enough, Tham Tri Thu's phone called again. I picked up the phone and he was laughing so hard he couldn't breathe.

“Second sister, are you surprised?”

“I told you, I will block every path you have.”

“Don't you want to go to college?”

“Let's think about where to sleep tonight.”

I looked at my parents' pale faces and suddenly became calm.

“Tham Tri Thu, are you sure you want to go to this step?”

“Sure.”

His voice was full of malice.

“The more miserable you are, the happier I am.”

I hung up and directly dialed another number.

“Hello, Ms. Ly.”

"I'm Tham Tri Ha."

“I guess I need your help with something.”

On the other end of the line, the homeroom teacher only asked one question: "Are you safe now?" The corners of my eyes suddenly sting.

“It's safe for now.”

"Then you wait at home, I'll come over right away."

Half an hour later, Ms. Ly and her husband arrived. Seeing the messy living room and parents I was sitting quietly, she didn't ask much, just turned to me and said: "Tri Ha, follow me first." My mother panicked: "Teacher, this is not convenient..." Ms. Ly looked at her gently: "He is about to apply for college and needs a quiet environment. Please take your time to resolve your family matters." As I pulled my suitcase out of the house, my phone vibrated again. Tham Tri Thu texted: "If you can escape for a moment, you cannot escape for a lifetime." I texted him the first message since being reborn: "Then open your eyes wide and look."

“This time, I won't lose.”
