Chapter 4

Just as our parents predicted, on the wedding day, even the clothes Lily wore were hastily bought by our parents who couldn't bear to see her so poorly dressed.

Naturally, only Jack came to pick up the bride. He wore a faded jacket, rode an old bicycle, and had a big smile on his face. "Mom, Dad, I brought some firecrackers to celebrate!"

As he spoke, he proudly placed the firecrackers on the ground and lit them.

Amidst the crackling sounds, our parents' faces looked extremely unhappy.

This so-called wedding was pathetically shabby. Forget about a banquet, there wasn't even a single person from the village coming to offer blessings. Even neighbor Ava, who usually gossips about everything, had gone to work in the county town as usual today.

I smirked.

Except for the change in the main character, everything else was exactly the same as in my previous life.

The poor Jack, without any sincerity, still brazenly explained this behavior as keeping things simple.

But in this miserable atmosphere, the bride was smiling brilliantly.

As soon as Jack finished lighting the firecrackers, she eagerly sat on the back of his bicycle, "Mom, Dad, I'm off then."

Jack, looking at his new bride hugging his waist, was so happy he couldn't close his mouth, "Mom, Dad, please go back inside. No need to see us off."

My mother opened her mouth, wanting to say something but holding back. Watching their retreating figures, her eyes inevitably moistened.

"Lily, how will you live from now on..."

My father sighed heavily and turned to go back inside without a word.

Watching Jack and Lily embrace intimately, I momentarily recalled those painful memories from my previous life. My gaze gradually turned cold, then slowly returned to calmness.

After all, I've been reborn now. I have a completely different path ahead of me. Those hardships will never happen to me again.

Seemingly noticing my gaze on them, Lily thought I was jealous. She deliberately came to my side and lowered her voice, "This was originally my life. You'd better not interfere!"

"Sis, remember, don't appear in front of Jack casually in the future. All those good days belong to me."

I nodded obediently, "Mm-hmm."

I couldn't ask for anything better.

I don't know if it was psychological, but I suddenly felt that Lily in front of me looked much more pleasing. After all, her every word and action now deeply satisfied me.

Lily was very pleased with my understanding, "After all, I'm married now. In the future, stay as far away from me as possible!"

I nodded seriously again, "Okay."

Looking at my excited sister in front of me, I fell into deep thought.

If I remember correctly, on the first night of their marriage, Jack would reveal his abusive nature.

In my previous life, it was because I fought back fiercely, willing to risk my life, that Jack had no choice but to let it go.

Later, Jack needed me to strategize for him, and I controlled most of his social resources.

With me holding him down, he naturally didn't dare to abuse me anymore.

In this life, I can only wish my sister good luck.

Watching their gradually disappearing figures, I calmly advised my mother, "Since this is Lily's own choice, we should just give her our blessings."

This is what she desperately wanted, so we can only wish her well.

My mother wiped a tear from the corner of her eye, "Emma, you're the only daughter left at home now."

I held my mother's hand and turned to go back inside.

But my heart felt incredibly light.
