Chapter 169: The Bottom Line

　　Xu Aiyu was very panicked. She didn't expect that when she woke up, she would see Xu Aixin downstairs.

　　Xu Aiyu pinched her thigh and said, "Sister... Aiyu, why are you here? Do our parents know that you are here?"

　　Before Xu Aiyu could even utter the word of that sentence, she suppressed it forcefully.

　　She looked at Xu Aixin with pleading eyes, and she motioned Xu Aixin to talk somewhere where there was no one.

　　No matter how dumb she was, she knew that replacing someone else to go to college was not allowed.

　　After a week at the university, Xu Aiyu has decided to stay in the university. Although she can't understand the teacher's lectures, it doesn't matter, as long as she can stay here.

　　Xu Aiyu thought that she couldn't let Xu Aixin destroy her good life now.

　　Xu Aiyu knew how much Xu Aixin cared about her parents. After all, it was the same in the past and in her previous life.

　　Before Xu Aixin went to college, if she wanted to do something, she would ask Xu's father and mother to come forward, and Xu Aixin would help her get things done even if she was unwilling.

　　Later, Xu Aixin settled in the capital, and Xu Aiyu stayed in her hometown. Whenever she wanted something but had no money or didn't want to spend money, she could usually get what she wanted by writing a letter or calling Xu Aixin.

　　Xu Aiyu had long been accustomed to Xu Aixin's compromise as long as her parents moved out.

　　She thought that she must severely condemn Xu Aixin later and then let Xu Aixin compensate her.

　　Just like countless times before.

　　Xu Aixin looked at Xu Aiyu, who confidently changed her name to Xu Aiyu, and felt the irony again.

　　"Xu Aiyu, you took my place at university for a week, do you really think you are me?"

　　As soon as the words "took my place at university" came out, everyone's attention was instantly drawn to it.

　　This was only the second year after the college entrance examination was resumed, and there were only two sessions in total. In order to get into a university, the time, energy, and cost that everyone had paid were immeasurable.

　　Especially the students of the class of 1977.

　　They are the first batch of students after the resumption of the college entrance examination. Many of them are educated youth from the third batch, and some are even 30 years old. They have already started families in the local area.

　　In order to get into college, some of them divorced their husbands/wives, and some simply abandoned their husbands and children.

　　Of course, there are people who do not want to divorce or abandon their spouses, but at the beginning of the resumption of the college entrance examination, how much effort do they have to spend to convince their spouses and their spouses' families?

　　They finally overcame all the difficulties, but in the end, their university place was taken by someone else.

　　Everyone put themselves in the situation's shoes and thought about it, and felt like their heads were about to explode.

　　Xu Aiyu didn't expect Xu Aixin to tell this matter in public.

　　She pinched her hand, her nails digging into her flesh and stinging her. She pretended to be calm on the surface: "Aiyu, what nonsense are you talking about?"

　　She smiled helplessly: "Don't listen to my sister's nonsense. My sister and I are twins, but she doesn't like studying and didn't get into college. She has always liked to snatch things from me since she was a child. I didn't expect that she would also snatch a place in college from me."

　　What Xu Aiyu said was quite reasonable. Some people had people like Xu Aiyu in their families who liked to snatch things from their brothers and sisters, so they unconsciously stood on Xu Aiyu's side.

　　Xu Aiyu looked at Xu Aixin and narrowed her eyes, with oppression in her eyes.

　　Xu Aixin laughed. It turned out that Xu Aiyu also knew that she liked to steal her things?

　　Xu Aixin thought Xu Aiyu didn't know.

　　She said, "Before I came to you, I had already gone to see the director of your school's academic affairs office. What's fake won't be real, and what's real won't be fake. Xu Aiyu, for this kind of thing, apart from the testimony of our high school teachers and principals, a test paper can tell all the truth."

　　"The reason I came to you first was to see how you would argue. Xu Aiyu, you are so vicious. In order to block my way to the capital, you asked our parents to kidnap me when I was off guard and locked me in the woodshed."

　　"In order to prevent me from escaping, I was given only one bowl of porridge a day. In order to cut off my escape route, they made me marry Zhang Liangyou."

　　"I don't need to tell you who Zhang Liangyou is, do I? He's your ex-boyfriend's cousin, a man who's good at eating, drinking, gambling, beating women, and raising parents. It was your idea, right?"

　　Xu Aixin had figured it out on the way here. Xu's father and mother were partial, but they certainly couldn't think of a plan to let Xu Aixin marry Zhang Liangyou in a short time.

　　Unless someone points it out.

　　And no one except Xu Aiyu could make them make up their minds to do it.

　　What Xu Aixin couldn't understand was that they were obviously sisters from the same family, born of the same mother, and should have been the closest people in the world.

　　She believed that she had been very good to Xu Aiyu over the years, and Xu Aixin couldn't figure out why Xu Aiyu hated her so much no matter how hard she tried.

　　But at this point, no matter what the reason is, it no longer matters.

　　After today's matter is settled, she will have nothing to do with Xu Aiyu's family.

　　She is a person who wants the one she loves to live and wants the one she hates to die. In fact, in some ways, she is quite similar to Xu Aiyu.

　　It's just that she understands the most basic etiquette, morality, integrity and shame, and knows what she can do and what she cannot do.

　　The teacher from the Academic Affairs Department showed up on time and took them to the Academic Affairs Office.

　　Everyone was very curious and followed a few people spontaneously.

　　Xu Aiyu looked pale.

　　She knew her own strengths and weaknesses, and the questions in university were no different from the Book of Heaven to her.

　　In Xu Aiyu's plan, Xu Aixin should have been married to Zhang Liangyou.

　　What kind of person is Zhang Liangyou? Xu Aiyu has been her relative for her whole life, doesn't she know?

　　He was a beast, he could beat his parents, and his wife had no status in front of him. Later, he spent money to marry a wife, and the first thing he did when he saw her was to break her legs.

　　Afterwards, he was annoyed by her noise and found some unknown potion to poison his wife's voice. It was common for him to beat her up every three days and every five days.

　　Before their rebirth, when these women got together, their favorite topic was Zhang Liangyou.

　　Among the people who thought Zhang Liangyou was a beast, only Xu Aiyu disagreed. She was a typical victim-blaming person, and she thought that Zhang Liangyou had hit his wife repeatedly because his wife had done something wrong.

　　Otherwise, why would Zhang Liangyou treat her so cruelly again and again?

　　After being reborn, Xu Aiyu wants to seize Xu Aixin's life, so she has to knock Xu Aixin into the dust and make her unable to get up in this life. Only in this way can she live a peaceful and beautiful life.

　　The first idea that came to her mind was to let Xu Aixin get married, and not to an ordinary person, because she knew Xu Aixin's character too well.

　　She is like a cockroach. She can't be killed no matter what. As long as there is a slight possibility, she can stand up again.

　　Then Zhang Liangyou, who broke the bride's legs on the wedding night and then disliked the bride for talking too much, would be the best candidate.

　　Only with Zhang Liangyou could Xu Aiyu's pride and backbone be broken.

　　She spent three days lobbying her parents, and also asked people to tell her how beautiful 'Xu Aiyu' was.

　　It was a foolproof plan.

　　Xu Aiyu didn't know why she failed, and she couldn't help but resent her father and mother.

　　Her pace became slower and slower, and her expression became more and more frightened.

　　Now, there is no need to take the test, it is clear who is telling the truth and who is lying.

　　The followers who were whispering just now stopped talking at some point, and the whole team seemed exceptionally solemn.

　　The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office saw the Xu Aixin sisters, glanced at the students watching behind them, and solemnly promised: "Please rest assured, students, we will handle this matter impartially and give you an explanation."

　　After the Dean of the Academic Affairs Office finished speaking, he walked into the office without waiting for the students to speak. The door of the office was wide open, and the students standing in the corridor could see the scene in the office at a glance.

　　Xu Aixin was arranged to sit at two tables. Teacher Xiang Wan from the Chinese Department took out a test paper and placed it in front of them.

　　Then he stepped back and looked at them with a sharp gaze. In addition, there were four other teachers standing around the office to make sure that no one dared to cheat.

　　Xu Aixin has real talent and is not afraid of anything. She picked up the pen and started answering questions, one after another, some of which she didn't even need to think about.

　　The opposite of her is Xu Aiyu. She holds the pen but doesn't know how to start writing.

　　She has been away from school for more than 20 years. What she learned back then was not solid to begin with, and now she has returned it to her teachers.

　　Looking at the questions on the test paper now, it is true that the questions know her, but she is a stranger to the questions.

　　Xu Aixin's pen was writing on the test paper, and Xu Aiyu finally couldn't stand it anymore. She threw the pen on the table. The ink in the pen splashed out and fell on the concrete floor, leaving a black mark.

　　She stood up and said, "I admit that I am not Xu Aixin. I used her name to go to college. Now I will give this university back to her. I will go back. Is that ok?"

　　Xu Aiyu walked out angrily. The windows and doors of the office were full of people, some of whom were Xu Aiyu's acquaintances. Xu Aiyu didn't dare to look at their eyes.

　　She just wanted to leave this embarrassing place as soon as possible.

　　She still had a lot of money in her hand, which was enough for her to go back. When she returned and found her parents, she would teach Xu Aixin a lesson!

　　Xu Aiyu was furious.

　　Just as she was about to leave, a man stood out from the corner. He was wearing a green military uniform with armbands on his sleeves. He stopped Xu Aiyu and said, "Student, you have violated the law of the country by impersonating someone else's university quota."

　　"We have already notified the police. Someone from the police department will come to take you away in a moment."

　　Xu Aiyu was stunned. Her face changed drastically. "What law? What law did I break? I just took my sister's things. Can't I just return them to her? Are you sick?"

　　Xu Aiyu struggled hard, trying to break free from the hand that was holding her.

　　But no matter how she struggled, it was of no avail.

　　The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office said to Xu Aiyu seriously, "Going to college can change a person's life. Student, you have replaced someone else's college quota, which is equivalent to replacing someone else's learning achievements. This is a crime."

　　"From the moment you took Xu Aixin's admission letter to the school to register, this matter was no longer your family's affair."

　　"Impersonation has seriously affected the social management order. Shameless impersonators should be punished."

　　The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office's words drew applause from the students watching.

　　Impersonation is a serious matter. Today Xu Aiyu can come to school under Xu Aixin's name, but who knows if someone will replace the results of their labor at work tomorrow.

　　The students who were watching thought, if they don't speak up for Xu Aixin today, who will speak up for them if they encounter the same thing tomorrow?

　　"Let the police arrest the shameless thief, sentence her, and give justice to the impostor." Someone in the crowd shouted this.

　　As he finished speaking, someone in the crowd repeated his words, and gradually, more people began to follow, and in the end, everyone started shouting.

　　The sound spread far and wide, and more and more people joined in.

　　Jiang Youtao and Fu Shaohua also shouted.

　　In the last life when the Internet and short videos were well developed, there were more and more people who were impersonated and spoke up for themselves on the Internet.

　　Because information was not transparent and communications were underdeveloped at that time, and also because their families were poor, those who were replaced did not get into university. They often thought that it was because of bad luck or that they did not study hard enough.

　　Especially for many women, if they fail the exam once, their families usually will not allow them to take the exam a second time.

　　Because they have grown up, cannot get into college, and can no longer generate income for the family, they should get married and give back to the family.

　　And what about the people who replaced them? They bought off and bribed local public officials, changed their names, ages, and household registrations, went to college, and after graduation became civil servants and became "the best of the best."

　　From the resumption of the college entrance examination to 2023, countless people have been impersonated and their destinies have been tampered with.

　　It was not until 2021 that the state enacted a law specifically for "impersonation".

　　Jiang Youtao hopes that this law can be enacted 40 years in advance.

　　The Dean of the Academic Affairs Office did not stop the students from calling for help. As educators and teachers, they also hated impersonation.

　　They all came from those 10 years, and no one knows the significance of going to college better than them!

　　Xu Aiyu was frightened. In her previous life, she had only heard of impersonation. It was a girl from the next village who took her place in college. The girl was the daughter of a county leader.

　　When this incident was exposed, it caused a big uproar. In the end, the leader's daughter was fined nothing except having to pay tens of thousands of dollars in compensation.

　　Xu Aiyu didn't think it was a big deal that she took Xu Aixin's university place. After all, they were sisters, right?

　　Unrelated people can do such things and get away with it, so why should she go to jail?

　　"Shut up, shut up." Xu Aiyu shouted at the onlookers outside.

　　Her response was an increasingly loud shout.

　　Xu Aiyu looked at Xu Aixin again: "Sister, sister, I know I was wrong, please save me, please save me, I am only eighteen years old, I don't want to go to jail. We are sisters, right? If something happens to us, how sad will mom and dad be, right?"

　　Xu Aiyu had watched legal programs and she had heard that for many crimes, as long as the victim could forgive the suspect, the suspect would be safe.

　　Even if someone kills someone, they can get a reduced sentence because of the forgiveness of the family members. How could what she did be more serious than murder?

　　Xu Aiyu felt that as long as Xu Aixin didn't pursue the matter, she would be fine.

　　Xu Aixin snorted, "Now you know that you and I are sisters? When you were slandering our parents to let me marry a man who was good at eating, drinking, gambling, and beating people, why didn't you think of me as your sister?"

　　Xu Aixin's words quieted the shouts of the onlookers.

　　This was the second time Xu Aixin had talked about this matter. Before, everyone's attention was focused on the impersonation and they had ignored this matter. Now after hearing it again, everyone looked at Xu Aiyu with even more anger.

　　Xu Aiyu didn't say anything.

　　But there were some things that Xu Aixin felt that if she didn't ask them today, she would never ask them again in her life: "From childhood to adulthood, I have always believed that as a sister, I have a clear conscience for what I have done to you, my sister. I don't understand why you hate me so much."

　　"You hate me so much that you are willing to destroy me."

　　Xu Aixin clenched her hands, which were hanging by her legs, into fists. She stared at Xu Aiyu closely.

　　She had just thought that it didn't matter if Xu Aiyu hated her, since they would never see each other again anyway. But now that things had come to the point, Xu Aixin realized that she did care, and she still wanted to know the answer.

　　Xu Aiyu stopped crying. At this moment, she finally took off all her disguises: "A clear conscience? Do you really think you have a clear conscience?"

　　"We are twins. You became the older sister just because you were born ten minutes earlier. You were domineering and strong in your mother's belly. You weighed one pound more than me. You were in great shape and ate everything with relish. As for me, because of my poor health, I couldn't eat many of the things you could eat when you were a child."

　　"At that time, there was a peach tree at home. When the peaches were ripe, you ate them one by one. But I felt a stomachache after eating one."

　　Xu Aixin had no memory of what Xu Aiyu said. She had even forgotten that there was a peach tree in her house.

　　"Later, when you were older, you were well-behaved, sensible, and hardworking. Whenever you went out together, you were the first person everyone saw. They would say, 'Look, the eldest daughter of the Xu family is so good, but the second daughter of the Xu family is not so good, she is very spoiled.'"

　　"When I went to school, my grades were not good. Every time the teacher criticized me, he would praise you for being so good. It's because of you that I hate going to school more and more. I hate everyone who praises you."

　　"Every time I'm compared to you, I wonder why I'm not the older sister, why I wasn't the one born first."

　　"Why don't I have a good body? Why do I have a sister who is better than me in every way? When I hate you the most, I think it would be better if you didn't exist. It would be better if our identities were switched."

　　Xu Aixin looked up at the sky, trying to let the tears that had already filled her eyes flow back.

　　She thought of many reasons, but she never thought that Xu Aiyu hated her for such a simple reason. It was so simple that she ruled it out first when she thought of it.

　　But if time could be turned back again, Xu Aixin would still choose to live the same life as now. She would not force herself to become mediocre just for Xu Aiyu's pitiful self-esteem.

　　The police came quickly, and Xu Aiyu let them handcuff her without saying a word. But before leaving, she turned around and glanced at Xu Aixin indifferently.
