"Your adoptive parents are from the city. Are they like those difficult women in our rural areas who like to be unreasonable?"
Don't city people all pride themselves on being cultured and highly educated? Take those educated youth in the village for example. Whenever they see the villagers, they look at them with eyes that seem to be on the top of their heads, as if they're looking down on them.
Since they are so aloof and self-important, how could they possibly be so shameless as to make a fuss over such a trivial matter?
Well, what Song Qinghui was thinking at that moment was also a kind of mockery of Song Weiqiang and Luo Yueqin, Song Lan's adoptive parents!
"Second brother, people from the city and people from the countryside are all human beings. It is really biased to use whether or not someone is reasonable as a distinguishing criterion."
Song Lan said calmly, "In my opinion, city people are not necessarily more noble than rural people. Some of them are of despicable character. They just think they are superior because they have urban residency and look down on farmers who work the land in the countryside."
This is driven by their self-perceived sense of superiority, but they don't realize that sometimes their behavior is even worse than that of us rural people, and they are even looked down upon by us rural people.
After a short while, Song Lanqing's clear and pleasant voice once again flowed from her lips: "What I'm saying all this is actually just one point: whether you're from the city or the countryside, there are unreasonable people out there."
In other words, being unreasonable is not just a label for some women in our rural areas; there are quite a few like that in the city too!
My adoptive parents were materialistic and concerned with their image. If I had lived a life of mediocrity in the countryside, they might have been eager to sever ties with me and never speak to me again. But once I started to do well...
As my adoptive parents who raised me for nearly twenty years, those two will definitely jump out and try to reason with me, the adopted daughter they spent a lot of money and energy to "cultivate".
I have my own dreams, so I won't stay in the machinery factory's staff hospital forever, nor will I live a miserable life in the village like I said before, never venturing out.
Therefore, you can imagine that once I become somewhat successful, they will inevitably come knocking on my door, using all sorts of words to try and get closer to me. In short, they won't let such a resource like me go unused.
"Song Jiaojiao ran off to Beijing to claim her relatives a few days ago. Our father and we met with your adoptive parents once. I overheard our mother talking to our father at home, saying that Song Jiaojiao's parents seemed gentle and polite."
She spoke politely, but in reality, she was practically looking down on them. We even said she never wanted to deal with people like that again.
Upon hearing this, Song Lan laughed out loud: "Our mother is quite observant. My adoptive parents are like smiling tigers. They are usually snobbish and concerned about their image, but they manage their expressions very well and rarely show the kind of expression that our mother described in front of others."
To put it simply, my adoptive parents were quite adept at feigning affection. If they wanted to flatter someone, the words they uttered would leave that person feeling utterly satisfied, both physically and mentally.
Song Qinghui: "I understand. You mean your adoptive parents are very good at talking. Even when they are flattering people, they don't make the people around them feel uncomfortable, while at the same time making the people they flatter feel happy."
“That’s right.” Song Lan affirmed, then casually added, “You could say that’s part of their skill!”
At this moment, Song Qinghui snorted and said, "I admit that our mother is quite meticulous, but for our mother to be able to see that your adoptive parents are looking down on her and our father, it must mean that your adoptive parents despise and look down on our parents from the bottom of their hearts, and they never thought of putting on a pretense in front of our parents."
"Perhaps. After all, they're never one to do anything without a profit, and they're single-mindedly focused on climbing the social ladder. In their eyes, Mom and Dad are undoubtedly lowly figures. Even with Song Jiaojiao and my situation, which forced them to meet with Mom and Dad,..."
In order to keep both Song Jiaojiao and me by their side, they would naturally say nice things to our parents and lower their stance a little. But they considered themselves city dwellers, and residents of Beijing at that; the sense of superiority that came with that status was ingrained in their bones.
"Given that reason, even if those two lower their stance in front of our parents, how low do you think they could go?"
Her adoptive parents probably thought they were being very humble, but in reality, they probably didn't even realize that their humility was just what they perceived as humility.
She was unaware that their gentle politeness, courteous words, and the way they looked at people revealed their contempt and disdain in her parents' eyes.
Ha! A sense of superiority ingrained in her bones, looking down on rural people. Just wait, one day her family will be someone her adoptive parents can't even dream of reaching.
According to the original plot where there was no transmigration of Song Jiaojiao and no arrival in this world, well, although the author gave it a bad ending and the original owner later died in a car accident due to her husband's infidelity, the original owner's family was no small fry.
The eldest brother, Song Qingbin, became the richest man in the province through business.
The second brother, Song Qinghui, is a leading figure in scientific research.
My younger brother is a professor at a prestigious university.
My parents are in good health, live in a large villa, and have plenty of money and free time.
Unfortunately... in the original storyline, the original owner was not close to Song Sanhe's family. Even though they recognized each other as relatives, she was still closer to her adoptive parents' family.
However, the Song family did secretly help the original owner quite a bit.
The original owners learned of this by chance, but they were not deeply affected by it.
Therefore, in the life of Song Jiaojiao who transmigrated into the book, due to the actions of Song Jiaojiao and her adoptive parents, the original owner did not recognize Song Sanhe's family and was later used as a great victim until her death.
Her soul drifted through the world and unexpectedly awakened, only to learn that she was nothing more than the white moonlight of the male protagonist in a period novel. She learned of her original fate: to marry according to her adoptive parents' wishes, to have her husband have an affair, and to die in a car accident.
She learned that she did not die according to her original fate because Song Jiaojiao was possessed. It was the transmigrated girl Song Jiaojiao who schemed and instigated her adoptive parents to give them the persona of a "victim."
He was exploited until his last breath!
And her family, who had secretly helped her a lot in her original destiny, also suffered the destruction of their family because of her being plotted against by Song Jiaojiao, who transmigrated into the book.
The reason is simply... the transmigrated Song Jiaojiao didn't want her to have a powerful backer, and in this life where the other person changed her fate, she clearly hadn't reunited with her family in Shisong Village...
Even after transmigrating into the book, Song Jiaojiao still wouldn't let them go!
They are her backers! They are her backers, so they must be eliminated by Song Jiaojiao, who transmigrated into the book.
Based on the Song Sanhe family's secret assistance in the original storyline, and the fact that the original storyline was altered in this life by the transmigrated Song Jiaojiao, resulting in the destruction of her family, the original owner felt deeply guilty and indebted to her relatives.
Then, when facing Song Lan, he left a message saying that he should not only take good care of the Qin family, but also take good care of his relatives in Shisong Village.
"You're so snobbish, little sister. Just you wait and see. Whether your second brother can enlist or not, he'll make something of himself in this life. When that happens, I'll make a special trip to your adoptive parents' house and see how far their so-called sense of superiority will go!"
