Song Caixia kept cursing in the room.
"What kind of sin has befallen me? My parents divided up the money but they didn't even give me, their daughter, any share."
"I am the only daughter of the Song family."
"Okay, even if I don't share, my two sons Xiaobo and Xiaochuan should share some. They are sons who can carry on the family line."
"Song Wanyue from the third room has it all. She's just a girl. They're all grandchildren. Why should she share it?"
"There are also Wenxue and Wenlan from the first house, Qiuyun and Xuemei from the second house, they are all girls. Mom and dad, you are getting old and confused."
As soon as Song Wanyue stepped into the yard of the old house, she was stunned.
The bad news: She was called a girl by name.
Good news: She wasn’t the only one being scolded.
Song Caixia put her hands on her waist and said, "Mom, you're glaring at me, but I have something to say. The Song family has split up, and I'm a married woman, but you're still healthy. What if one day you end up lying in bed? Will those sisters-in-law serve you?"
"You might as well give me the money. I'm your daughter and I won't abuse you."
Song Wanyue looked carefully and found that the old house was quite lively.
She walked towards Song's mother and sat down on the bench.
Grandma Song cleared her throat and said, "That's enough, Caixia, stop yelling. You're like a frog, croaking. It's annoying to hear. You've been yelling for half an hour. Isn't your throat tired? Take a break."
"I see everyone is here. Take the ignorant kid outside. Wenxue, you go and watch over him. I have something to say."
After the children left, Grandma Song continued.
"Listen, Caixia, I have something very important to say. It concerns your life experience. You must listen."
Grandma Song had a pretty tolerant temper, but now she was being pointed at and scolded, and she was furious.
"Caixia, you are not my biological daughter. Your father is a big landlord and your mother is his concubine. Your mother has done me a favor, so I adopted you."
After hearing this, Song Caixia was dumbfounded.
He said in disbelief: "Mom, are you kidding me? My third brother and I are twins."
Having lived in the Song family for so many years, she had never thought that there was anything wrong with her background.
"Mom, I, I am a member of the black five categories?"
The woman staggered and collapsed to the ground.
Song Caixia felt like she was struck by lightning. There was nothing more frightening than this.
Grandma Song continued, "Well, didn't I tell you that your mother was kind to me? She was poor and sold herself to the landlord as a concubine in order to pay for her mother's medical treatment. She was pretty and did well in the Yuan family at first."
"I am not originally from the capital. I fled to the capital from the south. I had a younger brother at home. At that time, there was chaos and war everywhere. In order to grab a bite of food, my brother was pushed into the river."
"I was young at the time, only fifteen years old, wandering around the capital, looking for work everywhere. Your mother had a clothing store, and she saw that I was smart and capable, so she hired a teacher for me, saying that she wanted to train me to be her confidant."
"I worked in her shop for two years, but I really didn't want to do it anymore, so I became a teacher. She didn't blame me, and she thought it was great that I had my own ideas. She admired people who read books."
"But the good times didn't last long. The Yuan family was murdered by thieves with knives overnight. Your mother went to the hospital to give birth to you, so you just happened to escape the disaster. Your biological mother died of heavy bleeding."
"After that, I didn't dare go to the Yuan family, for fear that the thieves would come back, so I adopted you."
"The old man and I will move you to a place nearby. It's more than half a day's journey from Yuan's house."
Song Caixia said forcefully, "I, I, but you have loved me for so many years, and you have raised me as your own daughter. My mother has done you a favor, and you should repay her."
"Even if I am one of the five black categories, so what? I was previously registered as a resident of the Song family."
As long as it doesn't get demoted.
Grandma Song smiled bitterly: "Caixia, I also raised you as my own daughter, but you have been making trouble since you were a child. What I am most dissatisfied with is your marriage. I told you that your man is unreliable, but you didn't believe me. Now, what have you got?"
"Li Jiandang will just coax you. He's from the countryside, and he's the only one in his family who has moved to the city and has a job. Once you get married, you'll be eager to move all your belongings to the Li family."
"I owe your mother a favor. Without her, I would not have had the opportunity to study. Among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans, scholars are the first choice. I am grateful to her, and it is good for you too, but what about your return to me?"
"My three sons don't owe you anything, so as soon as they get married, I will arrange for the division of the family. From now on, the most you can do is take my things and subsidize the Li family. Am I right?"
"You've taken a lot from me during festivals and holidays. The value of the things you take from me every year is thirty yuan. After twenty years, it should be six hundred yuan at least. Add to that the two hundred yuan dowry I gave you and the three hundred yuan for buying a house, and it should be enough."
"I have a scale in my heart, and this is about it."
"Your father treats you the worst in the family. Do you understand why?"
Grandpa Song had been holding it in for a long time, and he confided, "Caixia, with your temper, you're always noisy and like to take advantage. After you entered the Li family, did they treat you well?"
"But you still gave birth to children for Li Jiandang, and you wanted to empty my Song family to subsidize them. Of course I resent you. Without you, my Song family will definitely live a better life."
"But I have to repay the favor I owe you, so I gritted my teeth and accepted it. Originally, I am a cook, and I feel that I am marrying up to an old lady who teaches and educates people."
Unexpectedly, after hearing his life story, Li Jiandang was the first to become happy.
It seems like he is trying to persuade, but in fact he is plotting.
"Oh, Caixia, this is a good thing. Don't be angry, you are also pitiful. Both your parents are gone. From now on, the Song family will be your mother's family. Don't say those treasonous words."
