Da Niu burst into tears of joy. Her mother used to say that she was not smart, stupid, and a fool.

She was insecure and never thought she had any great abilities; she wrote novels simply to express her feelings.

Unexpectedly, her writing was published in the newspaper, and the editor even encouraged her to continue writing and welcomed her to submit more articles.

The girl hugged Lin Yu and cried.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xiaoqing barked and circled around their legs, looking somewhat anxious.

Lin Yu patted her on the back and said, "This is something to be happy about. Why are you crying? Even Lin Xiaoqing will laugh at you."

Upon hearing her name, Lin Xiaoqing excitedly barked "woof woof."

Da Niu stopped crying and smiled, squatted down and touched Lin Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing was worried about me."

After Lin Xiaoqing was brought back by Lin Yu, she actually spent most of her time with Da Niu.

They have a very good relationship.

Lin Yu also squatted down and touched Lin Xiaoqing's little belly: "This little dog is getting fatter and fatter."

"That's perfect, girl, let's eat dog meat."

No sooner had Lin Yu finished speaking than Lin Laosan's voice was heard. He was standing next to her, drooling over Lin Xiaoqing.

Lin Xiaoqing sensed danger, stood up, and yelled at him, feeling that the insults were very vulgar...

Lin Laosan tapped its head with his hand. Strangely enough, although Lin Xiaoqing often didn't get along with Lin Laosan, it never bit him.

Lin Laosan didn't seem afraid that it would hurt people.

...

When the whole family arrived home, they were all surprised to hear that Da Niu's article would be published in the newspaper and that she would receive a fee.

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were the happiest: "Great, great, our family has produced a literary genius!"

When children are successful, the older generation considers it a great honor to bring glory to the family.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin could hardly believe that their daughter was really that amazing.

How could their daughter, whom they had together, actually write articles and publish them in the newspaper?

Lin Lao Er grinned from ear to ear: "Great, great, my daughter is amazing, so smart."

It doesn't seem like they could have had a child together...

Wang Zhaodi also realized what was happening and was overjoyed: "Oh my, Da Niu, you earned five yuan? That's five yuan! That's enough to buy lots of meat! Quickly give it to Mom!"

The eldest daughter shook her head: "Mom, I want to save this money for my studies."

Doesn't her mom always say that sending her to high school is a waste of money? She can earn her own money to go to school!

"That won't do! You have to give all the money you earn to Mom so you can have a dowry when you get married..."

"Alright, what nonsense are you spouting? Even if Da Niu doesn't pay, I will still prepare a dowry for her in the future."

What are you going to do with the money your child earns?

Lin Lao Er felt that Wang Zhaodi was really a spoilsport. Da Niu was originally happy, but her words made her sad.

“Darling, don’t listen to your mother. You don’t need to pay any money. Keep your royalties for yourself. Dad will pay for your schooling.”

Although Lin Lao Er valued Xiao Bao, he never treated his daughter like dirt.

This is his own child, and it's only natural that he would pay for his education. He couldn't possibly let his child earn money to pay for his tuition.

The girl's eyes welled up with tears, and she nodded, "Yes, thank you, Dad."

Wang Zhaodi's words made the atmosphere quite unpleasant. Da Niu sighed, took the envelope, and went back to her room.

Grandma Lin looked very unpleasant, and her gaze towards Wang Zhaodi was extremely hostile.

"Second son's wife, you just have to act like this, are you only satisfied when your daughter doesn't recognize you in the future?"

Wang Zhaodi only realized she had said the wrong thing when she saw the reproachful looks in her family's eyes.

She glanced at Lin Lao Er, hoping he would help her.

Lin Lao Er ignored her; he would no longer tolerate this woman. His mother was right to teach him a lesson.

Wang Zhaodi said, feeling wronged, "What did I do wrong, Mother? You have to tell me. Shouldn't that girl give me the money she earned?"

When I was a child, I picked fruit to exchange for money, and I gave it all to my mother.

That's what her mother said too; they'll keep it for her dowry.

Grandma Lin was disappointed in her daughter, but she also understood that Wang Zhaodi had grown up in the same way, so she could only treat her daughter the same way.

There's still some hope for this person, because she doesn't abuse her daughter like her biological mother did.

So Grandma Lin said to her, "You've severed ties with your family, which means your mother was wrong."

The money your child earns belongs to her; it is your responsibility as parents to pay for her education.

If she earns her own tuition, what use are you parents?

Then you shouldn't expect her to be filial in the future, since you haven't been that good to her anyway.

Lin Lao Er thought about how his eldest daughter would resent them for being biased, for being irresponsible parents, and for not being filial to them.

It makes me very sad just thinking about it.

So he quickly said, "That won't do. Daniu is my daughter, and I love her too."

We'll pay her tuition, and the money she earns is her own.

Wang Zhaodi, stop following your mother's example. Do you want your daughter to sever ties with us too?

Wang Zhaodi was stunned. Yes, she always followed her mother's example, but hadn't she already severed ties with her mother?

What if my eldest daughter and second daughter are like this in the future...

That won't do!

"I understand! I promise I won't be like my mother anymore, I won't be like her,"

She looked around and saw that the only other people with daughters like her were her mother-in-law and Shen Zhinian.

However, since her sister-in-law rarely comes home after getting married, if she could only choose one reference point, she would choose Shim Chinen.

"I'll follow the example of the third brother's family; I'll definitely be a good mother in the future."

She's not a good mother, yet she has three children. Rather than letting her learn from her patriarchal mother, she should learn from Shim Chinen.

So Grandma Lin was too lazy to correct him, and just said, "No matter who you imitate, you can't let the child down again."

Today is my daughter's special day, let's celebrate! Xiaoyuan, go kill a chicken.

Lin Yuan heard this from outside, responded, and went to catch a chicken.

Everyone dispersed, and Lin Aiguo patted Lin Lao Er on the shoulder: "Be a good father and keep a good eye on your wife."

As the eldest uncle, Lin Aiguo couldn't say anything to Wang Zhaodi, but he loved his two daughters very much and hoped that they could both receive their parents' love.

Lin Lao Er felt ashamed. His inaction over the years had truly disappointed his family.

Lin Yu accompanied Da Niu into the house as soon as she entered, comforted her, and made her laugh.

“Your article will also be of great benefit to our brigade. Uncle doesn’t know yet, so we’ll give him a surprise.”

The girl smiled and nodded. No wonder her older sister had just told her not to reveal what she had written.

She was too embarrassed to say it anyway.

It turned out to be a surprise for her uncle.

The two sisters became even closer after sharing a secret.

As soon as Erniu pushed the door open, she saw Daniu and Lin Yu whispering to each other again. She was a little jealous: "What are you two talking about now?"

Lin Yu beckoned her over and found her pouting face adorable.

"We didn't say anything specific, we were just talking about going to high school."

Erniu frowned. She knew her mother didn't like her older sister studying because it cost money.

“Sister, if you go to school and the tuition isn’t enough, I’ll find a way to earn money. Don’t worry.”
