The Wang family's dining table was too small for Wang Zhaodi, so she had to stand and eat while holding her bowl.
Their meals were simple: pickled vegetables and cornbread. But each of Wang's father, Wang Chuanzong, and Wang Yaozu had an egg.
Since Lin Yu arrived at the Lin family home, almost every meal has included some meat.
So Wang Zhaodi couldn't eat much of the food at the Wang family's table.
She wanted to go home as soon as possible, so she said, "Father, Chuanzong, you two stand up for me. Go to the Lin family and make Lin Jianguo apologize to me, then I will go back."
Mr. Wang frowned: "What did you do at the Lin family's house that got you kicked out?"
Wang Zhaodi then spoke up, and her father simply said, "It's not wrong for you to let your child get closer to your maternal uncle's family. If Jianguo is angry with you, just apologize to him and that's it."
"That won't do, Dad. What about my dignity? Anyway, you and Chuanzong have to back me up."
Wang Chuanzong rolled his eyes and nudged Liu Xiangxiang with his elbow.
Liu Xiangxiang nodded: "Third sister, it's not that Chuanzong is unwilling, it's just that there are only two men in our family, Dad and Chuanzong, and Yaozu is still young. The Lin family has so many strong laborers, how can we possibly beat them? Aren't you trying to harm Chuanzong?"
Upon hearing this, Wang's mother immediately pointed at Wang Zhaodi and scolded, "You good-for-nothing! You want to get your brother beaten? What right do you have to back me up? You dare to come back without bringing anything? Get out of here right now!"
Wang Zhaodi exclaimed in shock, "Mother, didn't you say that if I'm bullied at my husband's family, I can ask my younger brother for help? Haven't I brought back enough things? It's just that I didn't bring anything back this time, and you're going to say this to me?"
The Queen Mother slammed her hand on the table: "You ungrateful wretch! I raised you all these years, so it's only right that you bring things back. Besides, you didn't even bring as much as your eldest and second eldest sisters."
You want your brother to back you up? You good-for-nothing, where do you get the nerve?
Wang Zhaodi screamed, "Mother!"
She couldn't say anything more; she only felt a deep sadness in her heart.
All those years of effort were just a matter of "it was what I should do"...
It turns out her mother really was lying to her; her second aunt was right all along...
At night, lying on the straw in the woodshed, Wang Zhaodi found it difficult to fall asleep.
After sleeping on the soft mattress of the Lin family for so many years, who could bear to suddenly return to the Wang family to sleep on straw?
It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
She couldn't help but recall the day's events, which shattered her beliefs one by one.
From Lin Jianguo cruelly driving her away, to being ordered around by her mother to do chores, and then to discovering that she had been deceived.
Wang Zhaodi didn't know what to do next. She tossed and turned, unable to sleep, so she got up to get a glass of water.
As I approached Wang Chuanzong's window, I heard...
