Chapter 453 Sister, am I beautiful?

Jiang Lu didn't know what to say in response for a moment.

She felt that it shouldn't be like this.

In rural areas, boys must prepare a house and a dowry.

Either build it at home or buy it outside.

But for a daughter, it shouldn’t be what her mother said!

I thought of what my mother had said before, that daughters are other people’s family.

A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. Jiang Lu asked tearfully, "Once she's married off, she's no longer your daughter, right?"

"You are favoring boys over girls!!"

Then he hung up the phone without waiting for Liu Yan to answer.

Jiang Lu didn't answer the call again.

Then after a while, Jiang Chao called.

Tell her not to be angry, at most he will give her two hundred and fifty from his five hundred.

"I don't want your fake kindness! Take your idiot money and get out of here."

She couldn't sleep that day and thought a lot about her life from childhood to adulthood. The next day, Jiang Lu did not go to work, but took a day off, lay in the dormitory, and used her mobile phone to search for relevant discussions on Weibo, Baidu, and social media.

I found that many girls encountered similar situations.

[Help!] My parents want to use my dowry money to buy a house for my brother, what should I do? 】

[How come the dowry money I saved became my brother’s wedding house fund? I feel disappointed. 】

[I’m so sad!] The money I earned from working over the years was used to help my younger brother get married. What do you think I should do? 】

Jiang Lu opened it and read what the poster had posted and how netizens responded.

Netizen: Are you disappointed? No, it should be rage! You have the final say over your own money. Don't let so-called "filial piety" become an excuse to exploit you.

Netizen: Don’t give it! Keep the money in your own hands. The worst that can happen is that you have to break up with your parents. Anyway, you have older brothers and they don't need you to support them. You just need to give them alimony according to your living standard every month.

Netizen: If they don’t treat you as a family member, you should manage your own family well.

Netizen: Just give it to her if she asks for it? Are you a bun? Won't you refuse to give it?

Netizen: As a woman from the lower class, the conclusion I came to after my divorce is to save more money, invest more in myself, see more of the world, don’t believe in having brothers, don’t believe that your parents are just saving you for their money.

Netizen: I feel very lucky to be an only child.

Netizen: Just say no! If you really need the money, just write an IOU and ask your brother to pay you back in the future. Otherwise it would be too unfair to you. Why should you give the money you earn to your brothers?

......

Seeing these comments, Jiang Lu felt angry and unfair. All the emotions she had been accumulating, such as whether she was being too unfilial, disappeared.

Some of her thoughts that were criticized by her mother are normal.

The abnormal one is her mother.

She is not very smart, not as smart as Jiang Xue or Jiang Chao, but she is not stupid either.

She has to think about herself.

I searched a lot of related topics and the more I read, the clearer I became.

Some things that you can't figure out will be figured out slowly.

Jiang Lu felt that she had grown up and matured a lot.

Jiang Chao was right, Jiang Xue didn't owe them anything.

She and Jiang Xue are both daughters of the Jiang family.

The things her mother said about Jiang Xue might be used on her in the future.

When she was a child, she was proud of the fact that her mother was more partial to her.

Is her mother really that nice to her? ?

No, it’s just better than treating Jiang Xue.

She felt satisfied just to have the older sister to compare with.

She had competed with Jiang Chao countless times, and all she got was a boy.

Don't compare yourself with your brother. Your brother is different from you.

Injustice is everywhere.

When I was at my hometown before, my eldest sister mentioned bicycles, and her mother gave her a lecture, saying that her bicycle was still usable.

Then he turned around and bought it for Jiang Chao.

At that time she cried and begged for it, what was her mother's response?

From now on, mom will take you wherever you go and you don’t have to ride by yourself.

She sat on the back seat of Liu Yan's bicycle, and raised her head proudly after seeing Jiang Xue. She looked like she really deserved a beating.

That's really stupid.

A few words of coaxing can make him lose his way. Love without money is not love. Just to stop her from making noise.

She didn't want to admit it, but the truth was, her mother didn't love her as much as she thought.

And my eldest sister just discovered it earlier.

To use the words on the Internet, they awakened relatively early.

She used to think it was natural for her elder sister to change her job, as her elder sister was so rich, it would be better for her to give her money.

There are so many beautiful clothes, give her some, and you can also give her some cosmetics.

Jiang Xue is her sister, so it's only natural.

Now think about it, why?

If she were in the eldest sister's position, she would have been treated so unfairly since childhood.

How could she still be so sincere to the instigator and other beneficiaries?

She deserved a beating before, but she was only slapped a few times, which was a minor offense.

Jiang Lu was silent for a few days and then called Jiang Xue again.

The call didn't go through, so she didn't continue calling. Instead, she waited for Jiang Xue to call her back after more than an hour.

When the call was connected, she felt very aggrieved after just a few words.

She cried and said how biased her mother was and how she favored boys over girls.

She said this just to make Jiang Xue put her on the same side.

Neither of them is favored. I wonder if the eldest sister can please see this and stop hating her and be nicer to her.

At least treat her better than Jiang Chao and help her find a better job than Jiang Chao.

And Jiang Xue's attitude did indeed become much more relaxed.

She remembered a common victim that a psychologist had mentioned one year before.

"What kind of job do you want to change to?" Jiang Xue asked proactively.

"I don't want to be so tired. Big sister, I want to find a job that's as beautiful and clean as yours, and I can do it for a long time. It doesn't matter if the salary is a little low at the beginning!" Anyway, if the salary is high, her mother will try every means to take it away from her.

Jiang Xue was still thinking about what Jiang Lu was suitable for, when Jiang Lu suddenly asked, "Sister, am I pretty too?"

"I think I would look good if I dressed up, put on some makeup, did my hair, and wore some pretty clothes." Jiang Lu asked Jiang Xue, wanting to hear a definite answer from Jiang Xue.

Liu Yan is good-looking and Jiang Haiyang is not ugly either.

Jiang Lu looks like Jiang Haiyang, and a bit like her aunt.

Jiang Lu is indeed not ugly.

"Yes, she looks okay." Jiang Xue answered truthfully.

"Sister, I work in the logistics park. I met a boss who sells Taobao products. He ships a lot of goods to the head office every day. I met him several times and he told me I could be a model."

"He said I was beautiful and he seemed to want to pursue me, but I ignored him! He was too fat and ugly."

"But he said I have a good foundation, better than any other model they've worked with, and I can do it as long as I dress up a little."

"I buy clothes on Taobao and sometimes post pictures. One merchant posted pictures and got a good response. He said he would send me clothes for free. I just had to pretend that I bought them and take pictures to comment on them."

However, there are very few such shop owners, and I have only encountered them once.

"This is the photo I took in the comment section before. Do I have talent? Can you help me take a look?" Jiang Lu sent the photos she took at that time via text message and picked out the one she thought was the best looking.

Jiang Xue looked at the photos. They were taken with a mobile phone and it was obvious that they were taken with great care.

What is commendable is that when facing the camera, she was not shy and behaved very naturally.

With her face and figure, she can be a traditional model, but she can be an online store model.

"Sister, that guy said that if I'm interested I can contact him to help them shoot. Can I go and give it a try? But... I'm afraid of being cheated." Jiang Lu sounded eager to try, yet afraid.

I hope to get a definite answer from Jiang Xue.

After all, Jiang Xue also runs an online store.

I was also a fashion model before.

Jiang Lu thought maybe she could do it too.

She wants to be like Jiang Xue.
