Zhou Caixiang's face turned bright red, whether from anger or frustration, she burst into tears and ran back to her room.
Yu Qiuying took a deep breath. It's true that you can't control your emotions just by wanting to. Some things are better left unremembered, because once you do, the anger in your heart is impossible to suppress.
"Mom, don't be angry..." Seeing Yu Qiuying's gloomy face, Zhou Cailian didn't dare to speak up for Zhou Caixiang at this time.
Actually, what her mother said just now touched her heart to some extent. At the end of last year, she was bullied by her in-laws and was sent back to her parents' home by her mother-in-law. Apart from her mother, no one in her family cared about her.
The third brother even felt that she, as the eldest sister, was a disgrace.
The fifth brother was only fifteen, so you could say he was heartless, but what about the little sister? She didn't say a single word of concern, not even a single question...
Originally, Zhou Cailian didn't pay much attention to these things, but as soon as her mother brought them up, she suddenly felt a little wronged.
She is seven years older than her younger sister. After her younger sister learned to walk, she basically took care of her. When her younger sister was little, she was very well-behaved and very attached to her older sister. However, after she entered junior high school, her younger sister gradually became less close to her. Although she felt a little disappointed, she thought it was normal for her younger sister to have her own thoughts as she grew up, so she didn't care too much.
Until the year she got married, her younger sister, who was on holiday at home, refused to attend the wedding. On the day of her wedding, she even cleaned up the room where the two of them slept, and from then on, it became the room where the younger sister slept alone. After she got married and went back to her parents' home, her younger sister wouldn't let her into her room.
In fact, during the period immediately after being sent back to her parents' home, she was very anxious and uneasy. She was afraid of being ridiculed, afraid of gossip, and even more afraid of being disliked by her younger siblings. So during that time, she was very careful in everything she did, and even had a bit of a flattering attitude towards her younger siblings.
Later, it was her mother who comforted and persuaded her that she gradually felt at ease and settled down.
She has been sent back to her parents' home for more than half a year now. Before today, she never thought much about what her younger siblings might think about her, the divorced eldest sister, living in her parents' home. But her third brother's words at noon today, "What right do you have to interfere in my affairs when you've been sent back to your parents' home?" still made her feel bad.
And then there's the younger sister; although she hasn't said it out loud, she probably looks down on her older sister in her heart too…
"Alright, I'm not angry anymore, hurry up and eat." Yu Qiuying softened her expression, not wanting to let it affect her appetite.
The mother and daughter didn't mention Zhou Caixiang and Zhou Jiahong again, and no one paid any attention to Zhou Jiadong, who hadn't returned all afternoon.
After dinner, Zhou Cailian cleaned up the dishes and the kitchen before it got completely dark.
There is no television at home, and to save on electricity bills, we rarely turn on the lights at night, preferring to use kerosene lamps.
Yu Qiuying was really not used to the darkness everywhere. Relying on her memory, she groped her way to a hemp rope about the thickness of a chopstick by the bedside. With a gentle pull, the light bulb above her head lit up.
She hadn't seen this kind of old-fashioned transparent light bulb for about twenty years, and even with the light on, the room was still dim.
Yu Qiuying sat on the edge of the bed for a while, feeling bored. She couldn't help but miss her old phone. Before her rebirth, she liked to lie in bed and watch videos and short dramas after dinner and a shower every day. She would also listen to audiobooks occasionally. She didn't feel lonely at all.
