Of course, Siya had kept these thoughts to herself and never uttered them aloud.
If it weren't for her sister-in-law's sudden appearance, she wouldn't have been afraid or worried, and she certainly wouldn't have blurted out her inner thoughts like that.
However, as soon as she blurted it out, Siya regretted it deeply.
Just as my third sister said, that's her own niece. What would happen if they heard this, or if my sister-in-law and eldest brother found out?
Siya dared not imagine it, nor did she want to think about it.
She bit her lower lip tightly, her face slightly pale.
After a long pause, she stammered, "Third sister, I didn't mean it. Please don't be angry."
Xiuchun frowned, but did not relax her brows because of Siya's apology.
"Tell me, who exactly said that to you?"
I'm your older sister. Even if I'm angry, it's only for now. But if I don't help you resolve this issue, how will you live under the same roof with Xiaofeng and the others in the future?"
Upon hearing Xiuchun's words, Siya lowered her head, stood on tiptoe, and rubbed her toes on the muddy ground in the yard, but did not say anything.
Seeing this, Xiuchun pursed her lips and stared at Siya.
She felt that perhaps the past few years had been too good, so good that Siya had forgotten about the past.
If a poor family produces a spoiled child, it truly harms that child.
Under the watchful eye of her third sister, Fourth Sister finally couldn't withstand the pressure.
"It was Ge Fu who said that Xiao Feng and the other two are jinxes. When they were at home, they brought bad luck to my eldest sister and their father, causing them to go to jail. When they came to our family, not only did they bring bad luck to prevent us from going to school, but they also brought bad luck to my eldest sister, causing her to join the army."
Ge Fu said that his second sister, a girl, was already so old that she could easily find a husband, but instead she went to join the army. When she came back, she would only be an old maid who could never get married.
They even said that sooner or later, they would bring death to their elder brother and sister-in-law.
"If my sister-in-law hadn't had that accident today, I wouldn't have said that."
After all, Siya is only 8 years old now.
Such a young person, carrying such a burden in their heart, when Ning Jing really got into trouble, they couldn't suppress it anymore and it all came out.
Although Xiuchun is only one year older than Siya, she is much more sensible.
In addition, the night before her second sister went to join the army, she had secretly talked to her for a long time.
She kept it all in her heart, so her eldest sister stopped talking to her. Now that her second sister was gone, her second brother, being a boy, shouldn't be bothered by the trivial matters of the family.
And she was the eldest girl in the family, besides her sister-in-law.
Therefore, since she's not going to school, she should take on these household chores.
This way, I can help my sister-in-law share some of the burden.
Hearing Siya's words, Xiuchun's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Nonsense, what Ge Fu said is truly malicious."
How come the blame is being placed on Xiaofeng and her two children after the eldest sister and that man did such a thing?
As for the second sister, she had discussed it with her eldest brother and sister-in-law before deciding to join the army. Since her eldest brother and sister-in-law had agreed, they must have had their own reasons.
Not to mention, we don't even know what's going on with my sister-in-law right now, so how can you pin the blame on Xiaofeng and the others for no reason?
Siya, have you forgotten how your aunt and uncle scolded your sister-in-law and us back then?
You've studied for several years; don't you understand the meaning of the eight characters "Do not do to others what you would not have them do to you"?
Xiuchun's stern questioning made Siya pale; every word she uttered filled her with shame.
