Dong Su'e felt extremely bitter in her heart. She was the only one who knew the hardships she had suffered over the years, as her mother always exploited her from time to time.
She was filled with resentment. Not only did her mother distort the truth and frame her, but she also pushed Jiang Ying into the fire. This was something she absolutely could not tolerate.
Dong Su'e leaned against the wall and almost fell down.
Malanhua looked at her daughter's pale face with indifference, and continued to point at her nose and scold: "Dong Su'e, Dong Su'e, do you still have a conscience? If it weren't for my frugality, how could you have a good life?"
Lin Xianxian glanced at her poor mother-in-law and decided to fight back fiercely.
"Malanhua, don't you feel guilty about saying this? Look at your son, he's all fat, and then look at my mother, who can barely hold two ounces of flesh. Aren't you secretly giving your son a boost at the expense of your daughter?"
When everyone saw it, they were surprised to find that Malanhua’s son was almost as great as three Dong Su’es.
It is obvious which of the two people is living a good life and which is not, which shows that Malanhua's heart is in her throat.
Malanhua was so angry that the wrinkles on her forehead could kill a mosquito, making her look even more mean.
"My mom had an emergency and needed money, so she asked you to lend her some. You charged interest, demanding twenty dollars for only two dollars. If you couldn't pay, you offered to pay the debt with grain. Is your heart made of stone?"
Everyone gasped. It was twenty yuan! How long would poor Dong Su'e, a widow, have to work hard on the farm to earn twenty yuan?
Every time the team distributed food, Dong Su'e's mother and brothers would come to her house and move the big bags of food away before dark. For the sake of her family's face, Dong Su'e never mentioned it to outsiders.
But once she couldn't help but mention it to Aunt Zhou and Cao Guifen, and Cao Guifen also talked about this to Lin Fengshan, and Lin Xianxian happened to overhear it.
Malanhua never expected her fox tail to be exposed like this. How could she admit it? Her lips trembled as she said, "You... you farted!"
"Dong Su'e, I gave birth to you in vain, and you have the heart to let me be humiliated by this little devil?"
Malanhua burst into tears and then, looking aggrieved, she wanted to bang her head against the wall. "I'd rather die. Even my own daughter doesn't recognize me. What's the point of me living?"
Several aunts who were close to Dong Su'e stopped Malanhua, worried that she would have a bad influence on Dong Su'e.
Aunt Zhou whispered in Malanhua's ear, "Aunt Ma, please stop yelling. You're not treating Su'e well. You should think about her!"
Malanhua glanced at Dong Su'e. Tears welled up in her eyes and she stroked her chest with her hands, as if she was in so much pain that she couldn't speak.
Malanhua knew she had touched her daughter's sore spot, so she raised her voice an octave and continued to poke at Dong Su'e's heart. "It's all your fault. I deserve to die as an old woman. I've dragged my daughter down. Every little gift my daughter gives me is gossiped about. I really shouldn't be alive!"
Lin Xianxian sneered. Malanhua was really good at talking. She was exploiting her daughter, but she said it was the filial gift she deserved.
The anger that had just risen in Dong Su'e disappeared, and she lowered her head and shed tears, "Mom, I feel sad when you say that!"
Malanhua's eyes immediately changed into a glaring expression. She took Dong Su'e's hand affectionately and said, "Mom is also worried about your hard life, so she found a marriage partner for Jiang Ying. You should let Jiang Ying meet her. Maybe she will like her!"
Malanhua understood her daughter's character. Her children were her heaven. If she kept forcing them, it would only make her feel disgusted and make things difficult to deal with.
It would be better to take a roundabout approach. As long as Jiang Ying comes, she can tie her to the Huang family's bed even if she has to.
Dong Su'e felt something was wrong, but she nodded anyway.
