When cousin Lin Shuang's parents passed away, she was adopted by Lin Man's parents and became the family's darling.
Lin Man, on the other hand, became the sandwiched punching bag,...

Xiao Ya hesitated for a moment, weighed the pros and cons in her mind, and finally nodded in agreement.
After all, if she didn't take Huo Anyan away, all the children would probably need her to take care of them, which would be a huge burden!
In this case, taking the little granddaughter back home becomes the best option.
During the day, she only needs to take care of Huo Anyan. As for the other children, they are already old enough to play by themselves and do not need too much care. She just needs to make sure they don't run around.
Song Jingjing took advantage of her free time to call Huo Qingyan and ask him to come and pick up the child. Huo Qingyan agreed immediately without hesitation.
However, when he rushed back to the city and saw Song Jingjing, he was shocked by the unusually obvious scar on her face.
He was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and quickly comforted her, "Try applying some medicine to the scar on your face, maybe it can get rid of it a little.
It doesn't matter if you can't get rid of it, you're not young anymore anyway, so why would I dislike you?"
Song Jingjing's anger instantly ignited when she heard Huo Qingyan's straight-man speech. She widened her eyes and roared angrily:
"Huo Qingyan, I worked so hard to give birth to children for you, and you have the nerve to despise me?
So what if I have a scar on my face? Is it true that when we judge a person, we only look at their appearance? It is their inner qualities and inner qualities that are most important!
Huo Qingyan thought to himself that he really couldn't figure out how much Song Jingjing was really like.
As she gave birth to one child after another, Song Jingjing's emotions became more and more unstable. Every day she either took her anger out on the children or became jealous of her elder sister-in-law.
He knew very well that if he really said these words, Song Jingjing would definitely have a big fight with him.
Therefore, he could only nod helplessly and follow her words: "Yes, yes, when judging a person, you can't just look at the appearance, you have to see if she has inner qualities.
Okay, I'll take mom and the kids home first. You have to take good care of Ranran and yourself."
Huo Qingyan took his mother and children back home, while Song Jingjing stayed in the store with her mother, busy greeting customers and sorting clothes every day.
Whenever a customer walked into the store and saw the pink scar on Song Jingjing's face, they would look at her with concern and ask about the origin of the scar.
Song Jingjing was very disgusted by this kind of question, but out of politeness, she would still patiently answer that it was a scratch accidentally caused by a previous salesperson hired by the store.
However, every time someone mentioned this scar, Song Jingjing would feel uncomfortable.
In particular, there was one time when two customers had just left after buying clothes, and Song Jingjing suddenly found that she had made a mistake in the bill and had charged them two yuan less.
She hurried out of the door to get the money back.
But just as she stepped out of the store, she overheard the conversation between the two customers: "It's okay that the lady boss here is just average-looking, but I didn't expect she has such a big scar on her face."
"Yeah, not only is she average-looking, she's also fat. Even if she wears nice clothes, she still looks ugly. Next time, let's go to Yiman Women's Clothing. The clothes there look prettier, although they're a little more expensive."
"You're right, the clothes there are indeed better looking, but they're too expensive. The lady who sells clothes is so beautiful, and the clothes she wears every day are so beautiful. I really want to buy some of them."

Song Jingjing stood not far away and heard the customer's words clearly.
These words were like a knife, deeply hurting Song Jingjing's heart.
She stood there, watching the two customers' backs walking away, tears welling up in her eyes, but she felt indignant in her heart: Why are so many people still wanting to buy my sister-in-law's clothes even though they are so expensive?
Because she was worried about bad business, she deliberately lowered the price, but these customers not only disliked the clothes, they even disliked her!
The more Song Jingjing thought about it, the angrier she became. She felt that she was really wronged.
She has obviously been working very hard to run this clothing store, but why is she still not as successful as her sister-in-law?
Is it really because my sister-in-law is beautiful? But this is too unfair!
Before she got married, she was dominated by Qiao Sitian, and now she is dominated by Lin Man. Song Jingjing feels that her life is really difficult.
Tang Lihong watched her granddaughter playing nearby with a happy smile on her face while she methodically arranged the clothes on the rack.
At this moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of her daughter Song Jingjing walking in with tears in her eyes. This made Tang Lihong's heart tighten, and she hurriedly asked with concern: "Jingjing, what's wrong? Is it that the customer doesn't want to pay more?"
Song Jingjing shook her head silently and said softly, "I didn't ask, they just left."
Seeing this, Tang Lihong sighed helplessly and consoled him, "He's gone, so what? Why are you crying? It's just a matter of two dollars, why are you so upset? You kid, how come you're going backwards as you get older?"
However, Tang Lihong's words made Song Jingjing feel even more depressed. She couldn't help crying and said aggrievedly, "Mom, why didn't you give birth to me a little prettier? If you had given birth to me a little prettier, they wouldn't laugh at me like this..."
When Tang Lihong heard her daughter say this, she felt a little uncomfortable.
She quickly walked over to Song Jingjing, patted her shoulder gently, and said earnestly, "Jingjing, what are you talking about? You just have a scar on your face, it's not a big deal.
Look at those people with disabilities, aren't they all living strong lives? Some even have one eye missing, but they still live well."
"Don't pay too much attention to other people's gossip. You're already thirty years old, why are you still acting like a child?
"Are you planning to rely on your looks for your whole life? Your sister-in-law is so beautiful, but she doesn't rely on her looks to make a living." Tang Lihong continued to counsel her daughter.
"Mom, didn't you always tell me that appearance is not important? But now you keep praising Lin Man for how beautiful she is!" Song Jingjing said to Tang Lihong angrily.
Tang Lihong sighed helplessly and explained, "She is indeed good-looking, but that doesn't mean appearance is the most important thing. No matter how good-looking she is, she can't make a living."
Song Jingjing pouted and retorted, "Qingyan said that looking at good-looking people can make people happy, and just looking at them can make them eat a few more bowls of rice!
Plus, I really hate it when customers come in and point fingers at me and tell me how ugly my scars are!"
