Just like before, Shi Dujuan had been brainwashing her, telling her that she was useless at home and that her three brothers were important. As a girl in the family, she had to work hard outside to earn money so that her three brothers could get married.
Tian Xiaohua did not dare to feel resentful and worked hard, becoming the pillar of the family.
She didn't dare to talk back when she was bullied by her brother and scolded by her mother.
Or was it Shi Dujuan and her three brothers who wanted to marry her to an old man, and Tian Xiaohua didn't want to, so she mustered up the courage to object...
Seeing her like this, Lin Yin was helpless.
But she was just an outsider, and she couldn't force Tian Xiaohua to sever ties with her biological mother and brother.
"Xiaohua, have you ever thought about this? Your three brothers are men, taller and stronger than you. Why can't they support the family and have to rely on you, a girl, to support them?"
"I……"
"They've become accustomed to relying on you, but you'll get married one day. Do you still want to take your mother and three brothers with you?"
“…” Tian Xiaohua did not refute because she felt that Lin Yin was right.
After living for so many years, except for being ignorant when she was a child, she also understood what favoritism meant when she grew up.
Shi Dujuan favors boys over girls. She treats her three brothers as treasures and her as weed, scolding them whenever she wants.
She is not a strong person and she also feels uncomfortable.
But what can she do? After all, she is her own mother. She cannot live a good life and let her own mother suffer.
"I know you are filial, but you can't be blindly filial. Do you understand what I mean?"
"I understand..." Tian Xiaohua bit her lip, "But my sister-in-law is pregnant now, and I can't just stand by and watch. Once the baby is born, I will reduce my help to them."
Lin Yin shook her head. "Don't take it so lightly. You said you'd wait until the baby is born, but have you ever thought about what happens after the baby is born? Everything from food and drink to toilet paper costs money, and it costs more than if the baby wasn't born. This situation will last at least until the child is two or three years old. Then you have another child and wait a few more years. When will you be able to completely relax?"
“…”
"Xiaohua, be nice to yourself. You have your own life too."
"I understand." Tian Xiaohua looked at Lin Yin and said, "I will now reduce my support for them by half. I will let my three brothers go out to work and earn money to support the family. If they don't work, I won't give money to the family either."
Sister Yin is right. She is the daughter of the Tian family, but her three brothers are also sons of the Tian family. Why should she be the only one to support this family? This is unfair.
Lin Yin nodded.
It is unlikely that Tian Xiaohua will give up her sponsorship of the Tian family immediately. She can only reduce it slowly and then withdraw.
The two of them finished their meal and left. On the way, Tian Xiaohua talked to Lin Yin about studying.
Although she was at work, Tian Xiaohua did not forget to study.
In more than a year, she has learned a lot. Tian Xiaohua is a very hardworking child.
Not only can Tian Xiaohua recite many poems in one breath, but Lin Yin can also tell you the life stories and representative works of two famous poets.
"Given your abilities, it would be a shame not to go to school. You should first work hard to earn money. Once you have acquired a solid foundation of knowledge, I'll use my connections to get you into a regular high school, and then take the college entrance exam."
The policy in this regard is not very strict now. As long as Tian Xiaohua has good grades and some connections are used, she can go to high school and study for three years before taking the college entrance examination.
