Chapter 101: Biased
Besides, their family was not very wealthy.
Her two sons were about to reach the age of getting married, and she was usually lavish with her money.
Isn't it all for the good of our two sons that all that money was spent?
These days, when she has nothing to do, she would get in touch with the families in the village who have daughters of marriageable age.
To be honest, their family's reputation in the village is really not very good. Everyone in the village knows about the character of their family.
Most people in the village don't like to marry their daughters to their family.
This really made Liu's mother very worried.
The only way is to find different ways to treat them, such as inviting them to dinner, inviting them to have afternoon tea, etc., or buying them some delicious food to show your courtesy.
There has never been a family willing to marry their daughter to their son.
So Liu's mother had no choice.
The only thing they could do was to look outside the village, but contacting a matchmaker would take a lot of time, energy, and money.
What little assets their family had, as well as the wages earned by Liu's father and the wages earned by his two sons, were all taken out by her to make friends with a matchmaker.
Her two sons were very clear about this.
I had some complaints about her squandering, but when I thought about it, it was for their own good, so I just had to put up with it.
Although a large amount of money was spent, it was ultimately for the sake of her two sons' lifelong affairs, so her family had no objection. Now, she was asked to take out all the money to hire a lawyer for Liu Yingying, which of course she felt was not worth it.
Even a little angry.
I think Liu Yingying is a troublemaker. The family has finally saved some money, but she is trying to find ways to spend some of it.
The thought of it made her feel bad. If possible, she would rather have never given birth to this daughter.
Mother Liu thought about it, and after holding it in for a long time, she couldn't help but speak out. In a very low voice, she said to Father Liu:
"Liu Yingying is such a jinx. Ever since I gave birth to her, no one in my family knows how much bad luck she has suffered. Logically speaking, I shouldn't say such cruel words, but I really can't help it."
"Don't you see how many times she's gotten into trouble since she was little? And yet you treat her like a treasure and worship her every day."
"In fact, Liu Yingying can do nothing but stir up trouble. This time, if she hadn't concealed the fact that she pushed Jiang Xian into the river, things wouldn't have gotten to this point today."
"She went to the police station on her own, so she can't blame anyone else. I know that among the three children in your family, you have always loved the youngest Liu Yingying the most, but you also have to think about our son. After all, in the future, no matter how much you love Liu Yingying, she will marry someone else. In the end, she will belong to someone else's family and have nothing to do with our family. Even if she makes a lot of money in the future, she won't spend it on us old couple. What's the point of you being so attentive to her now?"
"In my opinion, we should take this opportunity to ignore her and cut off all ties with her."
"In this way, even if Liu Yingying does something wrong in the future, it won't be blamed on our family."
"She is already that old, an adult, and capable of earning money and supporting herself. We can just ignore her. She won't starve to death anyway. Why should we spend all our family savings to hire a lawyer for Liu Yingying? Besides, we may not win the lawsuit."
The mistakes Liu Yingying made are there for all to see.
There is simply no way to resolve this issue when the evidence is irrefutable.
Liu's mother's mind is full of calculations, and she doesn't even care about her own children.
After all, influenced by her family, she has never liked girls. Moreover, when she was young, she had her fortune told and the fortune teller said that she was destined to have three sons.
When Liu Yingying was pregnant, in fact, before she was born, her mother was quite looking forward to having this child.
In this village, every family that has three sons is considered lucky.
She often shows off in the village.
Unexpectedly, Liu Yingying gave birth to a girl. Of course she was unhappy.
She felt that this girl was born to be her nemesis.
Otherwise, how could their family live so badly? If Liu Yingying was a son, her family would definitely live a much better life than it is now.
Liu's mother is the kind of person who is particularly pedantic. When her family is not living well, she does not look for the reasons in herself, but chooses to look for the reasons in Liu Yingying, her own daughter. It is simply unreasonable.
She has made up her mind, and even if eight hundred people come to persuade her, they will not be able to change it.
This kind of thinking is deeply rooted. Liu's mother even thinks that what she just said is absolutely correct and is deliberately considered for her own family.
In her mind, she wanted to sacrifice Liu Yingying for the sake of everyone in the family.
Minimizing the impact of this incident in the village is what their family should do most now.
On a daily basis, Liu's mother cares most about her two sons. She will not tolerate them being tarnished in the slightest because of Liu Yingying.
God knows how long she has been looking forward to holding her grandson. If, because of Liu Yingying's incident, no girl wants to marry their son, that would be a huge loss.
Liu's mother said this without hesitation, without even the slightest bit of maternal love. As for hiring a lawyer to defend Liu Yingying, it was not even within her consideration. Anyway, all the money in the family was in her hands. If Liu's father insisted on hiring a lawyer to defend Liu Yingying, then he would have to pay for it himself.
Whether she goes to borrow or whatever, it has nothing to do with her. Anyway, don't even think about getting a penny from her and asking her to hire a lawyer for Liu Yingying, the money-loser. It's impossible.
After all, it wasn't that she was cruel. Just ask them in this village, which family can sacrifice so much for their daughter? She felt that she had raised Liu Yingying for so many years and fed her for so many years, which was already a bargain for her.
It is simply unrealistic to make further sacrifices for her.
She has to think carefully about her two older sons.
Mother Liu thought that given how much she hated Liu Yingying, if she had the chance to do it again, she would rather strangle Liu Yingying to death in her womb and not give her the chance to be born at all.
Then it’s because of Liu’s father.
He particularly doted on his daughter Liu Yingying, so she was very jealous in her heart.
She has never enjoyed such treatment since she was a child, so why should her daughter enjoy it?
She couldn't stand this kind of gap at all. After all, before Liu Yingying was born, the relationship between them was very good. All the changes happened after Liu Yingying was born.
Liu's mother discovered that Liu's father's gaze stayed on Liu Ying for too long, so long that he even ignored her, his daughter-in-law.
She was still quite jealous in her heart, so she could never like Liu Yingying. She even felt that because of Liu Yingying's appearance, Liu's father cared less about their two sons.
Liu's mother also felt that her mental state was a little abnormal. After all, no mother would be jealous of her daughter.
She couldn't control the thought.
Why? Why should Liu Yingying live better than when she was young?
You have to know how inhumanely she was treated in their family before she got married.
Her mother's attitude towards her is not as bad as hers. She has a good attitude towards Liu Yingying. From childhood to adulthood, being able to have enough food to eat is already a very good thing. How could she dare to be like Liu Yingying, causing trouble outside all day long.
Even if she doesn't cause any trouble, she's afraid that her family will send her away.
Why does Liu Yingying live so freely? She just can't stand the fact that Liu Yingying is living a better life than she did when she was younger.
The gap is simply too big, because in Liu's mother's heart, she feels that Liu's father should not pay so much attention to Liu Yingying, and should focus all his attention on cultivating his two sons. After all, those are the ones who can provide for them in their old age. As for Liu Yingying, when she reaches a certain age, they can just find a husband for her, ask for a little more dowry, and then send her away.
What's the point of pampering?
In the future you will marry someone else.
A money-losing product.
It hurts in vain.
Liu Yingying's character is completely the result of being spoiled by her father. As things have come to this point today, her father and others also bear some responsibility.
There is no doubt about this.
Even if she said it clearly in front of Liu's father and accused him to his face, Liu's father could only pretend to be dumb and keep silent.
This is a fact that cannot be changed.
He treated Liu Yingying as coldly and ruthlessly as he treated his two sons at home.
Liu Yingying doesn't know how to do that, and she has developed the personality she has today.
Even today, when Liu Yingying caused a big mess, Liu's father was still thinking about cleaning up her mess.
If she were the mother, she would have kicked Liu Yingying, the rebellious girl, out of the house long ago.
How could he be like this? He went to great lengths to hire a lawyer for her, even spending all his family savings. Not only that, but Liu's father didn't even hint at any blame in his words.
As soon as he entered the house, he asked about how much money the family had left, without considering at all the two sons in the family who were about to get married and have children.
The house they live in is an old one that was built decades ago. If they have two more sons, get married and have children, there won’t be enough room for them at all.
The house had to be demolished and rebuilt. She had originally thought that when Liu Yingying was old enough, she would marry her off and use the bride price to build a house for her family.
Whenever she made this suggestion, Liu's father would come out to refute her, saying that he should not spend his daughter's money. If Liu Yingying gets married in the future, the betrothal gift given by the man's family should not be touched and should all be taken back by Liu Yingying. In this way, their daughter would have face when she met her husband's family.
Liu's mother disagreed with this point. Although Liu Yingying had not yet gotten married, she had already been thinking about her betrothal money. Not only that, she had even calculated how to use and spend it in the future.
If all the money was given to Liu Yingying, then all the time they had raised this girl would have been in vain.
Liu Yingying is already in her twenties, and it is time for her to give back to her family.
Liu's mother was dissatisfied, but fortunately, the day had not come for Liu Yingying to meet her in-laws, so she did not refute it out loud.
When that day comes, it's okay for her to express her dissatisfaction.
There are two sons in the family. When the time comes, the three of them, mother and son, will refute Liu's father together. They don't believe that Liu's father can defeat them.
There are two elderly people in the family. Even if Liu's father is thinking about his daughter, the elderly in the family will not fail to think about the two older grandsons.
Her parents-in-law are on the same page as her. They both value their two sons. After all, they are the descendants of the Liu family.
If we were to say what the most glorious thing in Liu's mother's heart was, it would be that she gave birth to two eldest sons for the Liu family.
In her heart, she felt that she was a blessed person. If it were someone else, they would not be as ambitious as she was.
Little did she know that her thoughts were simply a joke in the eyes of others.
When Mother Liu thought about how the first thing Father Liu asked after entering the house was how much savings his family had left, and how he didn't even ask a single question about his two sons, she became dissatisfied.
He began to complain even more.
She has never been a smart person and doesn't know how to read other people's faces.
When people are angry, they will express their dissatisfaction regardless of the consequences.
Liu's mother started to complain about Liu's father directly.
"You old man, you only care about that little bitch Liu Yingying. Ever since you entered the room, all you've been thinking about is how to solve Liu Yingying's problem."
