Ni Yang’s words were well-reasoned and justified.
Li Shu is just a pregnant woman. The two from the Mu Family, who had thrown their own daughter and granddaughter to feed the wolves, would they actually slaughter a chicken and mutton to entertain another’s pregnant woman?
But Ni Cuihua is inherently kindhearted. She believes that the world is as good-hearted as her since she is.
At the same time, she also believes that the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao aren’t like that.
And besides, she had brought disgrace to the Mu Family by not giving birth to a son. How could she dare to question the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao now?
Ni Cuihua immediately covered Ni Yang’s mouth, “Yangyang, you can’t talk nonsense like this! They are your grandparents and your father! You, as a daughter, how can you talk about them this way? It’s just a chicken, right? Aunt Ashu is pregnant, so your grandmother buying a chicken for her is only appropriate! You can’t say such things in the future. If your father and grandmother heard this, they would beat you up! Do you understand?”
Ni Yang sighed again.
Stupid!
Ni Cuihua is truly foolish!
No wonder she was bullied to death in her previous life.
Ni Yang sighed, “Li Shu is just pregnant, but my grandmother has made chicken soup for her and asked you to take care of her. Mom, you’ve just given birth to my little sister. You’re weaker than Li Shu right now, but has grandma made chicken soup for you? Haven’t you ever wondered why?”
Why can’t you wake up?
Ni Yang closed her eyes, finding it hard to breathe.
Ni Cuihua also sighed, “It’s all my fault, I didn’t give birth to a brother for you. If I could have had a son, perhaps things would not be this way…”
She took all the blame onto herself.
Ni Yang continued, “It’s not your fault that you didn’t give birth to a son! It’s not your mistake! The sex of a child depends on the father, it has nothing to do with you! Besides, these days everyone is equal, so what’s the difference between a boy and a girl?”
“But there’s a big difference! Boys can carry on the family name, what can girls do? Haven’t you heard the saying ‘a daughter married is like a bucket of water thrown away’? The idea that men are superior to women has deeply ingrained in Ni Cuihua’s mind, and it’s hard to eradicate.”
Ni Yang’s eyes were cold, “Mom, you’re a woman too. You can’t belittle women. If you look down on yourself, who will respect you?”
Ni Cuihua retorted, “Regardless, girls are inferior to boys. Look at our village, doesn’t every family have a man as the head of the household? Yangyang, you are still young and it’s normal that you don’t understand these things. You’ll understand when you get married and have your own family.”
Ni Yang closed her eyes: “The one who is stubborn now is you!”
“What paper?” Ni Cuihua was bewildered.
She’s illiterate and lacks formal education, how would she know what being ‘stubborn’ meant?
Ni Yang sighed: “Forget it…”
Anyway, Ni Cuihua will see the reality soon.
There’s no point in talking more at this point.
Seeing that Ni Yang didn’t continue, Ni Cuihua said, “Yangyang, I’m sorry. Your room is being occupied by your Aunt Ashu, as per your grandmother’s orders. You might have to stay in the firewood room for now… I’m sorry, I failed to protect you, your mother is…not competent…”
Ni Yang wiped the tears off Ni Cuihua’s face, her voice flat, “It’s okay, Mom, I’m not scared, don’t cry.”
It’s just the firewood room, what’s there to be afraid of?
After all, she won’t be staying there long.
Ni Cuihua looked up at Ni Yang, “Yangyang, you shouldn’t resent your grandmother either. It’s just that our home doesn’t have enough rooms. It’s my fault too. If I could have given you a brother, you wouldn’t have had to suffer these indignities and you wouldn’t have had to drop out of school…”
Ni Yang, only seventeen, had already dropped out of school.
It wasn’t that the family couldn’t afford Ni Yang’s schooling.
It was the old Lady Mu who didn’t allow her to continue.
In the old Lady Mu’s eyes, Ni Yang was a losing bet.
Why would she waste money on a losing bet?
Ni Cuihua thought, if she could have a son, the old Lady Mu would definitely not be like this…
Alas…
It’s her incompetence.
Causing her daughter to suffer alongside her.
Ni Yang said: “It’s not your fault, Mom. Really, it’s not your fault!”
Ni Cuihua wiped her tears and took the pot of chicken soup that was already cooked, “I’ll go and deliver this chicken soup to your Aunt Ashu. You clean your mouth properly, don’t let your grandmother find out you’ve been sipping the soup.”
If the old Lady Mu knew that Ni Yang was sneaking sips of chicken soup, she would certainly beat Ni Yang to death!
I remember before, Madame Mu once beat Ni Yang half to death.
Ni Cuihua brought the chicken soup to Li Shu’s room, seeing the chicken soup, Li Shu laughed: “Sister Cuihua, I won’t stand on ceremony with you then.”
Ni Cuihua laughed: “We are all family, no need to be polite.”
Even though there was a whole chicken and a big bowl of chicken soup, Li Shu finished it all by herself with ease.
Because people in this era generally didn’t have much to eat, they all had a healthy appetite.
After she finished the chicken soup, Li Shu went for a walk in the village, and before she knew it, she arrived at the village office.
Why did she go to the village office?
Because the village office had a phone!
But at that time, calling charge was quite expensive, five cents per minute!
Li Shu paid for five minutes.
Picking up the handset, she lowered her voice: “Xianxian, I’ve made it to Mu Jinbao’s house now.”
The person on the other end of the call was nobody else but Li Shu’s daughter, Li Xianxian.
Li Xianxian was pleased: “That’s good, mom. You have to give birth to my little brother in the Mu Family. By the way, is Mu Jinbao’s daughter named Ni Yang?”
“Ni Yang?” Li Shu frowned slightly, “No, her name is Mu Yang!”
On the other end of the phone, Li Xianxian also frowned, “Then she must have changed her name!”
Li Shu curiously asked: “Xianxian, why do you ask?”
Li Xianxian continued: “Mom, let me tell you, this Mu Yang is my nemesis, she will block my financial and developmental path. You must help me get rid of her! As long as she’s gone, there will be opportunities for me to prosper!”
Li Shu was stunned, “What? Xianxian, what’s going on?!”
Li Xianxian said, “You don’t have to ask so much! Just do as I said! Mom, you must help me with this. Your daughter’s future depends entirely on you!”
Li Shu hung up with a troubled expression on her face.
How was she supposed to get rid of Ni Yang?
Murdering is illegal!
What should she do?
Li Shu sighed, walking and thinking.
Just then!
A thought struck her.
She remembered that an old bachelor cousin from her mother’s side had also moved to this neighborhood, the old bachelor was in his fifties, wealthy but unable to marry a wife due to health issues.
She could introduce Ni Yang to the old bachelor!
After all, the old bachelor has always been dreaming of having a wife.
By then, the old bachelor would be thrilled, and perhaps she could even benefit from it…
Perfect!
The more Li Shu thought about it, the more pleased she became, the more pleased she became, her lips curved into a triumphant smile, and she moved briskly in the direction of the old bachelor’s house.
Coming out of the old bachelor’s house, Li Shu maintained her triumphant smile.
At dinner, Li Shu attempted to strike up a conversation with Ni Yang, “Oh my! Yangyang is such a beautiful girl!”
Ni Yang was indeed beautiful.
Just turning from her pair of exquisite peach blossom eyes, one could not help but fall for her.
Which family in this area did their daughter look like this?
She was so beautiful that it made people jealous.
Ni Yang was nibbling a steamed bun, pretended not to hear Li Shu’s words.
“Thud!”
At that moment, a sound of a table being hit echoed in the air, “Useless thing! Are you mute? Your Aunt Ashu is talking to you. Don’t you know to answer?”
