Chapter 88
Old Mrs. Bai, like her youngest son, Bai Maoyi, was picking at the food without any manners. "Who said it wasn't true? You were so stingy as to ask the Party Secretary to write a note. Who are you trying to protect?"
While eating, the mother and daughter secretly chirped for crickets.
Bai Qiaolan, the eldest daughter, couldn't stand it any longer. She put down her chopsticks and said seriously, "Grandma, my second uncle's family has invited us to dinner, so let's not say such things."
Hearing her granddaughter dare to teach her a lesson, Old Lady Bai was immediately displeased. "Bai Qiaolan! What do you mean? I worked so hard to give birth to my second child, so it's only natural that he invites me over for a feast! How come I owe him something? Oh my, you've really grown cocky, a junior daring to teach an elder a lesson. You've really learned bad habits from Bai Ying!"
Qiao Xiaoling chimed in, "Bai Qiaolan, why are you still speaking for Bai Ying? In our farm families, isn't it the case that the older ones get married first, and then the younger ones? Bai Ying is younger than you, but she got married first. How could she possibly look down on you? It's fine if you're not angry, but why are you still speaking for Bai Ying? Big sister, are you unable to get married?"
"..."
Bai Qiaolan's face turned red instantly, she was embarrassed and ashamed.
She looked at her parents beside her. Her father Bai Maoxiao quickly looked away and just lowered his head to drink. Her mother Luo Juan was of low status and her words did not count. She moved her mouth but did not dare to contradict Old Lady Bai.
Her brother did speak, but his words were enough to piss her off to death.
Bai Dashan said, "Sister, why are you still so ungrateful? We finally had a good meal, but how can the dishes on the table be enough for so many people? Why don't you hurry up and sneak some from the kitchen!"
Old Lady Bai immediately praised her precious grandson, "Good grandson, you still care about grandma. Bai Qiaolan, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go to the kitchen to get some meat. Don't let my two precious grandsons starve!"
Bai Qiaolan opened her mouth, but being honest and tongue-tied, she really didn't know what to say, so she could only get up and go to the kitchen.
However, she didn't want to steal the meat. Instead, she saw Chu Xianglan busy in the kitchen and wanted to go over to help.
Just as I reached the kitchen door and before I could go in, I suddenly bumped into Bai Ying coming out of the kitchen.
Bai Ying smiled and said, "Sister Qiaolan, why are you here when you're not eating over there?"
Bai Qiaolan is her uncle's daughter, two years older than her. She has had a good relationship with her since childhood. Before the family separated, they played together all day long.
Unfortunately, later on, my uncle's family gave birth to another son, Bai Dashan. My uncle and aunt doted on this son very much. Even though Bai Qiaolan was a better student, she had to drop out of school and gave the opportunity to go to school to her younger brother. She did housework at home and went to the fields to earn work points every day. After just a few years, Bai Qiaolan's face and hands became very rough.
It is very common in rural areas for an older sister to drop out of school and the whole family to support her younger brother's education. On the contrary, it is extremely rare for a sister like Bai Ying, where her older brothers do not go to school and the family supports her younger sister to go to school.
It was also because of the comparison with Bai Qiaolan that Bai Ying later realized how much her parents loved her.
In her previous life, Bai Qiaolan had a difficult life. After earning work points for a few years at home, she was married off by Old Lady Bai for 80 yuan. She married an old widower with two children and became his stepmother. The old widower was particularly violent and would beat Bai Qiaolan whenever he drank. Within a few years, Bai Qiaolan, who was not yet 30 years old, looked as old as she was in her 40s or 50s. She could no longer bear it and took poison to die.
When the news of Bai Qiaolan's death reached Liushu Village, Old Mrs. Bai not only did not feel sorry for Bai Qiaolan's experience, but instead kept cursing and blaming her for not waiting until the old widower died before taking the medicine, so as to avoid the old widower coming to ask for the betrothal gift back.
Because Bai Ying had seen so many things like this in the village, she became more and more confused.
We are all women, so how can you cruelly exploit other women?
Is it true that women like to make things difficult for other women?
