Song Jiaojiao's eyes were filled with disbelief. She had thought that her biological parents wouldn't have much affection for her, since she hadn't grown up with them. But she never expected that they would say such heartless things—that they had never given birth to her!
Is this a way of cutting ties with her? Does she really want to be left to fend for herself in the countryside?
“It’s not that we don’t want you, it’s that you think we’re not good enough. So we’ll just give in to you and stop being your parents. You can find yourself another pair of parents outside that will satisfy you.”
Luo Yueqin's voice was devoid of any warmth: "If you can make it through the New Year, then stay home. If you can't, then go back to the countryside. Don't worry, we won't stop you."
"mom!"
Song Jiaojiao raised her voice and called out to Luo Yueqin, then said, "You and Dad treat me like this, aren't you afraid I'll talk nonsense outside?"
"What do we have to be afraid of? You didn't grow up around us, and we didn't spoil you with all those bad habits. Going out and talking nonsense will only make you a laughing stock!"
Luo Yueqin's eyes also turned cold at this moment. She said, "All the children in the family, including Lanlan, are fine except for you with all your problems. I believe that none of the neighbors, or even everyone in the factory who knows your father and me, would say that we have not raised our children well."
"Lanlan, Lanlan, you call me so affectionately. Has Mom forgotten how you, Dad, and Song Chenguang treated that bitch before? Did you ever think about, no, did you ever force that bitch to divorce her husband and marry a fool?"
"If I were that bitch Song Lan, don't be fooled by her New Year's greetings; she'd be secretly holding a grudge and waiting for the day you all lose your jobs and can't make a living!"
"Little Jiao Jiao, how could you be so vicious?"
This was the voice of Song Chenguang's wife, Li Wan. She looked coldly at Song Jiaojiao and said, "You were switched at birth when you were a child. This was due to the negligence of the medical staff. Just like your older brother said, it has nothing to do with your parents."
When you go home, your parents treat you the same way they treat your older brother and his family. What are you dissatisfied with? I came to our family later, but I've heard a lot from your older brother about the things between you and your siblings, and I've seen it all myself.
I can hear it. My second sister never swears. Even though the family had wronged her in the past, she didn't hold grudges. Last year and this year, she and her husband came to visit our parents to wish them a Happy New Year. Whether she was sincere or not,
She really should be grateful to her parents for raising her for more than ten years, but what she did was truly impeccable.
"And you, every year during Chinese New Year you cause a scene at home, ruining the whole family's holiday mood. No matter where you look at it, it's always your fault!"
After speaking, Li Wan left the living room and returned to her and Song Chenguang's bedroom.
"Dad, Mom, I'm going to check on Xiaowan!"
Worried that his wife might be upset by her younger sister Song Jiaojiao, Song Chenguang and Song Weiqiang greeted each other and followed closely behind their wife, Li Wan.
"I'm going back to my room too."
Song Chenyang felt the atmosphere in the living room was oppressive. He said something to Song Weiqiang and Luo Yueqin, and before they could respond, he got up and went to his room.
The living room was currently occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Song Weiqiang and Song Jiaojiao.
"I...I was wrong..."
After a long silence, Song Jiaojiao felt a tightness in her chest. She was afraid that her parents, who had little affection for her, might really pretend they had never given birth to her, just as they said. She gritted her teeth, lowered her head, and put on an apologetic expression.
To her disappointment, she waited and waited, but Song Weiqiang and the other man still didn't speak. Seeing this, Song Jiaojiao panicked and said again, "Dad, Mom, what you said before..."
It was me... I was so angry at Song Lan's smug face that I impulsively said some nonsense in front of you and lost my temper with you.
I was wrong. I shouldn't have lost my temper, and I shouldn't have been so ungrateful as to say those hurtful things to you. Please forgive me just this once, okay?
Song Weiqiang stood up, not even glancing at Song Jiaojiao, and strode towards his and Luo Yueqin's bedroom.
"Mom~"
Song Jiaojiao grew increasingly flustered and couldn't help but move to sit next to Luo Yueqin, taking her arm and pleading, "I'll listen to Mom from now on and I'll never talk nonsense again. Mom, please forgive me this once. I promise you, when I go back to the village in a few years, I'll definitely visit my adoptive parents to wish them a Happy New Year!"
Whether you go or not is your own business, I won't interfere.
Luo Yueqin took the hand that Song Jiaojiao was holding from her arm, stood up and said, "Last year on the first day of the Lunar New Year, you caused a ruckus at home, which prevented the family from having a proper New Year."
You were making a scene again on the first day of the new year. I really don't understand what Lanlan did to you that made you keep harping on her and say such unpleasant things every time you met her, causing the rest of the family to lose face in front of Lanlan and her husband.
Think about it carefully. Is it your family and Lanlan who have wronged you, or are you just making trouble for no reason, acting like a madman and disturbing everyone's peace?
"I……"
Song Jiaojiao wanted to defend herself—well, not defend herself, but to explain herself a few more times—but Luo Yueqin didn't give her the chance. Before long, she went straight into the master bedroom.
The Qin family.
"You're back so soon? Did something happen to you over there?"
Li Jumei was holding her eldest child, while Qin's father was holding his second child. The two in-laws were chatting on the sofa when Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng entered. Li Jumei was taken aback at first, and then asked the two of them.
"You don't look too good. It seems like something really happened."
Qin's father looked at Song Lan and Qin Yanzheng with a look of inquiry in his eyes.
"Something has happened."
Song Lan said, "I don't know what's wrong with Song Jiaojiao. She was making trouble for me on the first day of last year, and she's making trouble for me again today. If it weren't for the fact that today is a special day, I definitely wouldn't have let her off so easily."
"Didn't your adoptive parents take care of you?"
Li Jumei frowned and asked.
Song Lan remained silent.
Qin Yanzheng said, "Before we left, Lanlan's adoptive mother scolded Song Jiaojiao."
"It's probably not very useful."
Thinking of Song Jiaojiao's temper since childhood, Li Jumei shook her head and said, "That ungrateful girl has probably been spoiled by me, your father, your brother and me. She has never looked for the reasons within herself when she does something wrong since she was a child. Even if she is wrong, she will still make up some reason. Anyway, it is basically impossible for her to admit her mistakes."
Song Lan: "There's nothing wrong with spoiling someone, Mom, don't blame yourself."
"Feeling guilty? Not at all!"
Li Jumei said, "I just feel that your father, your brothers, and I have spoiled you so much that you've become an ungrateful wretch."
She paused for a moment, then added, "That ungrateful wretch is always picking on you, and it's probably related to the reason you mentioned to me and your dad before."
