“You say you remember things from when you were little, but do you remember why I didn’t take you to your maternal grandparents’ house when you were little? Did I never take you to your maternal grandparents’ house? No, before you were ten years old, I would take you to your maternal grandparents’ house every year. When you were three years old, I took you to your maternal grandparents’ house, and you snatched your cousin Xiaokun’s food and scratched his face. I got scolded by your aunt.”
“When you were five years old, I took you to your maternal grandmother’s house. You peed in your grandmother’s pickle jar, and your aunt beat you up.”
“When you were seven, I took you to your maternal grandmother’s house. You took some of your cousins to play in the ditch and almost caused your cousin Jinbao to drown. You also sprained your ankle. You cried in pain all night, and I massaged your foot and comforted you. I didn’t sleep all night.”
“When you were eight years old, the fourth child was just one year old. That time, when we took you to Grandma’s house, I carried the fourth child on my back, and your dad took turns carrying you and the third child. But you didn’t want to walk anymore after walking halfway, and you even threw a tantrum and wouldn’t let your dad carry the third child. In the end, when we arrived at Grandma’s house, we didn’t even have time for lunch.”
“When you were ten, the fourth child was three and the fifth child was one. Your dad and I took turns carrying the fourth and fifth children to your maternal grandmother’s house in baskets. You insisted on sitting in the basket, but you didn’t sit properly and kept moving around. I got angry and wouldn’t let you sit, so you cried and said I was being unfair. Then you threw a tantrum and ran home by yourself.”
"Later, I stopped taking you to Grandma's house. Every time I brought the third, fourth, and fifth children back from Grandma's house, you would fight with them for food, saying that they had already eaten at Grandma's house and that Grandma wanted us to bring back food for you and your eldest sister."
“Once, you snatched food from Lao Si’s hand, causing her to fall and bump her forehead. I scolded you a couple of times, and you threw the whole bag of food into the outhouse in the backyard. I was so angry that I beat you up. You cried and said that I was biased and that I didn’t like you. You ran away in a huff. That night, I braved the heavy rain and begged the villagers to search for you everywhere.”
“When you were thirteen, your father passed away… The burden of the family suddenly fell entirely on my shoulders. I thought you were old enough to help with the farm work, but you were always lazy and always compared yourself to the fourth child. You insisted that she also work in the fields before you would do it.”
“When you were fourteen, your fifth brother was in first grade. Your maternal grandmother, aunt, uncle and aunt came to send him to school and bought him a schoolbag, umbrella and rain boots. You said that your maternal grandmother, aunt, uncle and aunt were biased and that they did not give you these things when you were in first grade. You made a fuss and demanded a new schoolbag, a new umbrella and new rain boots.”
"Later, I bought you a schoolbag. We already had an umbrella at home, so I didn't buy you a new one. I bought you rain boots and suggested you share a pair with your older sister, but you refused. You just wouldn't let your older sister wear them. So I had to buy your older sister a pair, but then you said the color of yours wasn't nice and insisted on swapping with her. Not long after that, you accidentally dropped one of your rain boots into the river while playing in the water, and it was swept away. You started making a fuss again, saying you didn't want to swap anymore and wanted to get it back with your older sister. Can you believe I wasn't angry then? How could I not hit you?!"
By this point, Yu Qiuying was already in tears.
Actually, there's so much more; she could talk for a whole day and night and still not finish.
Yes, the second daughter was indeed scolded and beaten the most by her mother from childhood to adulthood, but did she scold and beat her for no reason?
No, it's just that she's really too naughty and annoying!
Zhou Cailian hugged Yu Qiuying tightly, sobbing uncontrollably, "Mom, please don't say anymore. I know, I know you've worked so hard all these years. I've never felt you were biased. All these years, you've done your best to make sure we're fed and clothed. After Dad passed away, you raised us all by yourself. You've been such a good mother, sob sob..."
But now that things have come to this, how could Yu Qiuying not say, "I admit that I used to be a little biased towards the third son because I had two girls before me. Your grandmother scolded me for three whole years. She scolded me for not being able to give birth to a son and for giving birth to two money-losing children. But I still liked you and treated you well. But your grandmother kept scolding me, and I was also suffering!"
