Chapter 395: Equalizing the Rich and the Poor
I sneered secretly, is this planning to prevent me from getting married and having children?
I said with a forced smile, "Mom, I understand. You always said this when my aunt was still alive.
Sisi is weak, so you should take more care of her and give her the delicious food first.
Sisi's family is not well off, so you should be more considerate of her and share your pocket money with her.
Sisi's grades aren't good, so even if I got full marks, I can't tell her, or she'll be sad."
My mother said anxiously, "These are just trivial matters, why are you still making such a fuss about them?
She only comes to our house on weekends. She can only eat delicious food once a week. What's wrong with you giving it to her?"
I sneered, "Yeah, she only eats it once a week, but when she came, I didn't even get to eat it that time."
Mom's face froze, as if she had remembered something. She argued somewhat unwillingly, "You usually eat better than Sisi, so you don't need that one meal."
I said word by word, "If you think I eat better than her in the school cafeteria, why don't you let her live on campus too?"
My mother was choked for a moment and didn't know how to refute me, so she asked her usual three questions again.
"What's your attitude when you talk to me now? I owe you for raising you to this age. Your aunt's family isn't well off, so what's wrong with you giving in to Sisi?"
"My uncle-in-law can't make money like my dad. Is it my fault? Is it my dad's fault? Why should I use my dad's money to compensate Deng Sisi?"
When my father heard me mention him, he straightened his back and looked at me with approval.
I know he has objections to my mother's behavior. At the beginning, he also quarreled with my mother, saying that she spent too much money and energy on Deng Sisi.
But my mother immediately said that he gave more money to my uncle's family and shouted that she wanted to check his accounts to see how much money he had given to my uncle's family.
My dad himself has a dirty hand and was afraid that she would check the accounts. I guess a lot of money must have been given to the mistress in the name of my uncle, so my dad chose to keep quiet.
Over time, a magical tacit understanding developed between the two of them, and they did not interfere in each other's affairs.
My mother is partial to me, my father pretends to be blind, and I am the unlucky one.
"You have so much pocket money that you can't spend it all. When you were in junior high school, you had tens of thousands of pocket money. You usually spend money lavishly. What's wrong with asking you to be nicer to your sister? How can you be so selfish?" My mother still felt that she was not wrong.
"The tens of thousands of pocket money you mentioned was something I saved for a long time. You didn't even ask me what I wanted to do with it, and you forced me to use it to buy a computer for Deng Sisi.
At that time, I didn't understand why you wanted to buy her a computer. Our family was obviously not short of money, so why did you have to use my pocket money?
Later I figured it out. It was because Sisi was jealous of my large pocket money, so you couldn't stand seeing me have money.
I guess you feel that you can't make Deng Sisi's life better, so you try to make my life worse, so that we can have similar living standards, right?"
My mother probably thinks that as long as Deng Sisi is not living well, I don’t deserve to live well.
If she had been born a thousand years earlier, she would surely have been one of the pioneers of the peasant uprising who followed the slogan "equalize the rich and the poor, and the noble and the humble."
Unfortunately, she applied this idea to her own daughter, making me look like a local tyrant who should be overthrown.
My mother's face flushed and turned pale, and her tone was a little difficult: "Mengmeng, Mom has just been a little strict with you over the years, and you actually have such a big misunderstanding of Mom.
Mom just hopes you can become a better person and live a better life in the future."
