Transmigration: On the Gossip Front-Chapter 1901 - 1902: Female Passerby Intellectual Youth 44
Wang Yan’s parents originally thought Wang Yan was wasting the family’s food, but they didn’t expect she had brought home rice from the farm.
Their expressions improved quite a bit, "This rice is of good quality." Father Wang smelled the fragrance of rice in the house and thought it must be delicious.
Mother Wang kept nodding, "Yes, yes, I haven’t smelled such fragrant rice in ages. It must be delicious."
Wang Yan listened to them praising the rice’s aroma without speaking, just quietly listening to them continue.
Wang Yan’s parents rambled for a while, thinking they said so much, a sensible child should go to the kitchen to serve them rice, right?
But this child didn’t move, "Wang Yan, your dad and I have been busy all day, we’re hungry, why don’t you serve us some rice."
Wang Yan looked at her casually sitting brother and sister, "I made the rice, you should ask my brother and sister to do it."
"I spent an afternoon and an evening on the boat and haven’t rested well." Wang Yan stood up, "I need to rest now."
Without waiting for her parents to speak, she went directly to her room to rest. She no longer expected her parents to prepare her bed, nor even found out when she’d return, much less arranging someone to pick her up at the dock.
But it didn’t matter. She was not the old Wang Yan anymore; she was someone with a salary, not the poor little thing anymore.
Wang Yan familiarly went to her elder sister’s bed, directly lying down to rest. After not resting well for a night, she was really tired.
Wang Yan’s parents watched, thinking Wang Yan didn’t care, turned red with anger, "This girl, this girl."
Sister Wang initially didn’t react upon hearing Wang Yan say she was going to rest, then remembered that Wang Yan used to sleep in the living room at home and never had a bed of her own.
Where is she going to rest now? Sister Wang quickly realized, "No way, Wang Yan, she’s actually sleeping in my bed."
"How could she do that?" Sister Wang felt like she was about to collapse, rushing into her bedroom, unsurprisingly finding Wang Yan already asleep.
Sister Wang yelled with anger, hearing the noise, Father Wang, Mother Wang, and Brother Wang rushed in, loudly scolding Wang Yan for being excessive.
Wang Yan hadn’t rested well for a night. To bring home good food, she was really harsh on herself, thinking her parents would be really happy when she returned.
She never expected no one picked her up, no one commended her hard work, no one said anything good. It was contempt and blame.
Feeling wronged made her unable to endure it anymore, "What’s wrong with me bringing back 100 kilograms of rice, was I wrong?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
"I wrote home early, saying I’d bring things back, and you promised to pick me up, but what happened?"
"Others were picked up at the dock, but nobody came for me."
"I carried so many things, trying to save money thinking of buying more peanuts for the family, I practically starved myself to come back."
"In the end, there’s no food at home, my brother and sister won’t let me eat."
"I’m eating the things I brought back and you’re still complaining."
Wang Yan knew her parents were always biased. Initially, she thought earning money would allow her to help at home, and her parents would treat her better, but the reality was that nobody cared about her.
Their attitude towards her worsened, Wang Yan felt it was because she didn’t send money home monthly.
Before she went to the farm, she promised that after getting her salary, she’d definitely send money home monthly.
Initially, she thought Zhang Yu got a salary, then Zhang Family could subsidize a bit, she wouldn’t need to spend her salary, some could be mailed home and some saved for herself.
The idea was good, but she never expected Zhang Yu changed, became unreasonable, wouldn’t give money, and ignored her.
Too many things needed to be purchased, food and drinks to cover, she couldn’t save any money, never mind sending money home, she explained it once in her letters.
But who would’ve thought her parents wouldn’t understand, scolding her for everything.
Listening to her parents’ words, Wang Yan’s heart sank, "Parents, you only say I’m wasting money, why don’t you mention what I brought when I left for the countryside."
"I brought nothing, had to buy everything myself after arriving there."
"Clearly, the settlement subsidy was for me, but you used it to make clothes for my brother and sister, leaving none for me, I had to save up a bit myself once there, knowing the food at home was scarce, so I specifically bought 100 kilograms of rice."
"I regret it." Now she regretted coming back, Zhang Yu returned, and her family showed her love, letting her eat, drink, and rest well.
But when she returned, all she got was scolding, oh, clearly both are daughters, clearly both have siblings, why does Zhang Yu’s life seem better, more comfortable? Wang Yan didn’t understand.
Even without comparing with Zhang Yu, clearly Sister Wang is also a daughter, but why is her life so comfortable? Wang Yan didn’t get it, "Sister, I know you’re dissatisfied with me."
"I’m also dissatisfied; you have a salary of less than 30 a month, but look at the clothes in your closet, how many are there, these are all bought with your money, right?"
"Can you still pay living expenses at home monthly?"
"You say I don’t pay living expenses, but at least I don’t eat or drink at home, whereas you do eat and drink at home."
"And your coat, it must be 90 right, the farm field supply and marketing cooperative has it." Wang Yan recalled seeing a beautiful coat hanging there when she went shopping for New Year items before, just like the one Sister Wang was wearing.
Brother Wang knew elder sister’s clothes weren’t cheap, however reluctant he was, he thought if elder sister dressed prettier and charmed brother-in-law thoroughly, maybe he’d help him out a bit, right?
Unexpectedly, elder sister’s coat costs 90? Brother Wang was stunned, "Why does it cost 90, wasn’t it just 30?"
Brother Wang clearly remembered, "I recall elder sister bought it after getting her salary to go visit brother-in-law’s house."
He was shocked when he heard the coat cost 30, it felt like his heart was bleeding, but considering it was for visiting brother-in-law’s house, one couldn’t dress too poorly, who would’ve thought just one coat costs 90, Brother Wang really felt weak.
Father Wang knew elder sister constantly bought clothes, but as a man, he wasn’t familiar at all with this, just trusted what his wife and daughters said.
"That can’t be right," Father Wang said suspiciously.
"Wang Yan, what’s your problem, how can you falsely accuse me, how could I buy such expensive clothes?" Sister Wang felt quite proud these days.
A few days ago, she wore this coat to visit her boyfriend’s house, this well-fit coat made her look not like a poor family’s daughter, but someone respectable.
