Qin Jiao was startled awake by the dream.
It was only five in the morning when she woke up. Beside her, Xiao Shi was still fast asleep. The little girl was becoming more and more lively, and her sleeping posture had grown unrestrained. She was like a little koala, clinging to Qin Jiao's arm with one leg draped over hers.
Qin Jiao was wide awake now, so she gently moved her sister, pulled the blanket over her, and then entered her space.
'I can't let my thoughts run wild. My top priority right now is to study hard and earn money so I can move the whole family to the provincial capital next year.'
'Only then will Mom and Dad have more opportunities, and more importantly, we'll finally be completely free of those toxic relatives.'
