"I will never forget that day. She apologized to me and made me a bowl of very thick porridge as soon as she got up in the morning. It was very sweet and fragrant. I had already forgiven her in my heart."

"But there was an even bigger trick up her sleeve. The thick porridge was laced with drugs; she put it in herself. She also locked the woman I hated most in my room. Do you know how desperate I was at that time?"

Gu Siqing suddenly felt a little sorry for her younger brother. She didn't want to plead for her mother anymore; those who did wrong should pay the price.

Her mother really went too far.

"The moment she locked the door, I hated her so much I gritted my teeth, and I secretly vowed in my heart to never treat her as my mother again, but only as my father's wife, nothing more."

"Please don't try to persuade me to forgive her, sister. It's impossible for me to forgive her. Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering."

Gu Siqing made a gesture of surrender, "I surrender. I surrender. I won't say another word."

Her mother is indeed not worth helping. She always does things according to her own will, without considering other people's feelings. It is because her father cleans up her messes that she has developed such an arrogant personality.

She was at a loss, and didn't want to offend the couple because of her stupid mother. They had gone to great lengths for her son and were even willing to give up penicillin worth two yellow croakers, so of course she was biased towards the couple. The rift between the mother and son was too deep to be resolved.

Her mother must have something wrong with her eyes, otherwise why would she like a hypocritical and pretentious woman like Qiao Xiyan?

Su Ying is far more likable than Qiao Xiyan, a hundred times prettier, and kind-hearted. She readily gave away penicillin worth two yellow croakers. How could she not please her mother? She must be blind.

"You've struck gold, kid. You've found such a beautiful wife. You'd better protect her and not let her suffer. Love her well. She deserves it. After all, life isn't easy for a capitalist's daughter."

Gu Sinian knew he should love her well, after all, he was the one who fell in love with her first. "She's living a very good life. The little girl has a kind of magic that makes it impossible to dislike her. Even the brigade leader likes her and values ​​her. He takes good care of her and doesn't make things difficult for her just because she's a capitalist's daughter."

Gu Siqing asked in surprise, "Really?"

That's unlikely. The capitalist's daughter and the rightist are essentially the same, but her life in Phoenix Village wasn't so easy.

The villagers of Phoenix Village often bullied them, and even Yu Chuan had no children who wanted to play with him. This was all because of the rightists.

She could learn from her younger siblings; perhaps things would be easier for her in the future.

"Of course it's true."

"Then tell me how your sister-in-law won over the brigade leader. As long as you get the brigade leader on your side, life will be pretty good."

The brigade leader had control over the family's food rations, and they had to listen to whatever he said. Otherwise, he would deduct work points here and there, and when the work points were distributed, there wouldn't be enough food to eat.

With insufficient food and no other source of income, they could only go hungry.

So no matter what unfair work the brigade leader assigned to their family, they could only grit their teeth and finish it.

When it comes to his wife, Gu Sinian has endless things to say, recounting how she changed the economic lifeline of Willow Tree Village.

“My brother-in-law should be good at this, my sister. He’s a smart man. When you go to the countryside, you have to learn to be flexible. You can’t have a good life just by being submissive. My wife is the most representative example of this.”

"If it weren't for the poisoning incident, Willow Tree Village would have undergone tremendous changes long ago."

Gu Siqing pondered Gu Sinian's words carefully and found some inspiration.
