Lu Xiaofang glanced at her and said with a smile: "It's not your fault, it's me who doesn't want to study anymore. I think studying is too troublesome. I might as well stay at home and farm.
I plant in the spring, sit idle in the summer, harvest in the fall, and stay at home eating in the winter. Studying is very brain-intensive, and not everyone passes the exam. Why waste the money?
It's not easy for you and Dad either. Don't take everything on yourselves. Compared to others, we are happy enough. As a human being, you should be content with what you have.
I'm always fussy about everything, and I'm trying to compare myself to my sister. Can I even compare myself to her? She's the younger sister, the younger one, and I'm the older one. Isn't it natural for me to give in to her?
It's also our fault for not discovering it sooner and spoiling her, letting her grow crooked."
At this point, she still felt a little guilty. She didn't understand why Lu Xiaomin, who enjoyed the love of everyone in the family, still blamed her parents for not giving her a better living environment?
It’s already very hard for parents to raise them. Only mothers can understand these things.
You have to do everything by yourself to support the whole family, and she wishes she had three heads and six arms.
Speaking of Lu Xiaomin, Zhang Yulan felt very disappointed. "Anyway, I won't be in contact with her anymore. Don't talk about the bad luck. I'll just pretend I never gave birth to this daughter. Whether she lives well or not is none of my business.
Do you think that if she lives a good life, she will think of us? She will only think that your father and I are short-sighted and don't worship her. What ancestors are we worshipping on the sacred pole in our house? We should worship her instead.
She is the only stain on your father and me. Look at you brothers and sisters. Although you may not be rich, you are promising and you don’t cause us any worries.
As for her, it seems like the family owes her something, giving birth to her and raising her, and it’s wrong to repay her.”
Zhang Yulan is not the stingy type. There is nothing wrong with Lu Xiaomin only thinking about her husband's family, but it is wrong to sell her mother's family's food.
They don't want to eat? No matter how hard life is in the city, it can't be worse than the hardships in the countryside.
She never thought that all the hard-earned money her parents earned through hard work would be squandered by her.
Lu Jiandang was soft-hearted and often gave her money in private. Later, she directly took Lu Jiandang's private money and fed it to her, which was worse than feeding it to a dog.
If you feed a dog, it will wag its tail at you, but she doesn't just take it for granted, she even goes further.
The Feng family instigated part of the reason, but most of the reason was on Lu Xiaomin, because that was what she thought.
As an older sister, Lu Xiaofang didn't know what to say, and Lu Xiaomin wouldn't listen to her.
She sighed helplessly, "Mom, she's still young, let it go. Don't bother with her. There's no hurdle that can't be overcome."
Zhang Yulan glared, "Don't try to muddy the waters for me. This matter is going to get worse. Don't blame me for not warning you. Your sister is full of bad intentions. If you let her get into trouble, don't blame your mother for getting angry.
What is going on? You need to be clear in your mind about what to do. You treat her as your sister, but does she treat you as her sister? Has she ever come to see you in all these years?
In the past, when I bought you a nice piece of clothing, you were reluctant to wear it. You would let her wear it first and pick up the things she didn’t want. She has a stutter, so does she miss you?
She is such an ungrateful person. If this relative can leave, then let him leave. If he can't, then forget it. Don't think that you can do everything perfectly. Nothing is perfect.
Just wait and see. If you go to the county town, she might come and make a scene, thinking I'm biased and arranged a job for you but not for him."
She was afraid her daughter would be soft-hearted and fall for Lu Xiaomin's tricks. Alas, how could there be such a huge difference in personality between the older and younger daughters? It was giving her a headache.
Very cruel, but soft-hearted.
Lu Xiaofang assured him, "That's my sister. How could she harm me? Mom, don't think too badly of her. I will definitely not let her interfere in the store's affairs."
Besides, I don't have any money to lend her. I have three children to support, and I can't treat my husband like a workhorse. And my parents-in-law have headaches and leg pains every now and then, so they don't need money, right? She's in the city, so I can't help her. "
There is sisterly affection, but I am not yet in a hurry to devote myself to it because I already have families.
You have difficulties, am I not? I married into this mountain valley, and Nwei has only been here for several years. It is impossible for me to say that I have no thoughts.
I used to give her all the good things, but now this is the result?
She tried to persuade Zhang Yulan, but she was afraid that she would get upset. Zhang Yulan was a tough-mouthed person with a soft heart.
He says he doesn't care, but I don't know how much he cares in his heart.
Zhang Yulan smiled. "That's more like it. No matter how good the relationship is, there should be a limit in mind. Let her live her own life. She chose the life she lives now."
Hearing this, Zhang Yulan felt relieved. She still had some brains. If she really wanted to be led by Lu Xiaomin, she would have to consider whether the store could be handed over to her.
After sitting for about twenty minutes, the Luo family elders came back. Seeing Zhang Yulan, Luo's mother greeted her warmly, "Old Zhang, what brings you here today? It's been a long time since we last met. How are you feeling recently?
I heard you made a lot of money, congratulations."
Luo's mother wore a triangular scarf on her head and wore coarse cloth with several patches on it.
He has gentle features and looks kind, and he rarely doesn't tease his wife.
Zhang Yulan had a good impression of her and responded, "I missed my Xiaofang. I came to see her. I have to go back in the evening. I'm not busy with farming recently. I'll come to her house when I have time."
Luo's mother grinned and said, "You have moved to the city. No one greets me when I go to your house. It's a long way from the county town. I'm too lazy to walk.
As I get older, my legs and feet are not very convenient. When it gets cold or hot, they hurt a lot. So I just stopped walking and help the young people with the work at home."
The mother-in-law of the third brother is amazing. Every time she comes back, her hands are full of things.
She didn't say it on her face, but she was happy in her heart and liked to follow this kind of open and honest approach.
Mr. Luo was an honest and dull man. He nodded as a greeting, then went into the house to change his dirty clothes and wash his face.
Otherwise, it would be like the coal miner. It would be fine if no one was around, but since the in-laws were around, he couldn't bring shame to his son.
Luo Juan obediently brought a stool and said crisply, "Grandma, please sit down first. I'll pour you some water."
After saying that, she turned around and trotted into the house to pour a glass of cold water for Luo's mother.
Luo's mother was not doing well. After drinking two gulps, she finally felt relieved. The weather was hot and humid, and no one knew when it would rain.
The people are not a big deal, but the crops in the fields will dry up and die, which will make us starve.
Not only was she anxious, the captain was even more anxious, his lips were blistered, and he couldn't sleep for several nights.
Zhang Yulan and her were quite good friends. She said slowly, "Come to the city, it's a good opportunity to try the Bobo Chicken made in my house. It tastes very good and everyone around here likes it very much.
When you get older, it's better to walk around. After a few years, your bones will become stiff. How far can you walk? Don't stay at home and lay eggs while your hands and feet are still flexible.
My son has been sent away, so what else is there to worry about? They can raise their grandchildren on their own. They have suffered all their lives, and it is time for them to enjoy their lives."
