"You were the one who was supposed to marry into the Qian family! I married in your place, and I suffered so much in your place. All of what I went through was your responsibility! In the end, you should be grateful to me."
"Why should I be tortured to the point of near death in that house while you continue to live your good life outside! You should suffer in my place!" Jiang Yuan sneered. "Good sister, I helped you get married in your place back then, and now it's your turn to suffer in your sister's place..."
"You're insane...you're beyond saving!" Jiang Duo glared at Jiang Yuan, tears streaming down her face.
She couldn't understand why her own sister and her own parents would be so cruel to her in the end...
She also longed to be born into a happy and joyful family, regardless of whether they were poor or not. As long as the family lived a good life, in harmony and love, and their days were warm and beautiful, that would be enough.
Why put yourself through all this...?

Meanwhile, inside the Su family villa.
"Little Jiu, try the rose petal cakes your mother made for you." Su's mother smiled and brought out a plate, handing it to Su Jiu.
The butler smiled and said, "Madam went to the garden early this morning and picked the freshest rose petals and collected the dew from the first rays of sunlight to make flower cakes. It took her several hours to make them. Miss, you must try them."
"Thank you, Mom!" Su Jiu didn't expect her mother to care about her so much. She picked up a round rose petal cake and put it to her lips. It smelled of a strong floral fragrance.
One bite reveals a soft and chewy pancake with a thin crust and fragrant filling. The filling itself is sweet and savory, with a subtle sweetness that is just right.
"It's delicious!" Su Jiu's eyes lit up. "Mom, I have a gift for you."
"What gift?" Su's mother asked expectantly.
Su Jiu took out a small red velvet box from her bag. "Mom, this is for you! I had it custom-made at a jewelry store."
Mother Su opened the box with delight. Inside lay a magnificent necklace. The chain was made of pearls with excellent water content, and the pendant was a large teardrop-shaped imperial green jadeite pendant. It looked extremely beautiful, and the material was icy and translucent with excellent water content.
"Xiao Jiu, this necklace must be very expensive!" Su's mother said happily, gently stroking the pendant with her fingers, clearly delighted.
Su Jiu shook her head, "It's not expensive at all, Mom, let me help you put it on."
To be precise, she only paid a small fee for the workmanship; the jewels inside were all picked up from pirates.
Su Jiu helped her mother put on the jade necklace. Su's mother quickly went to the mirror to look at herself. She smiled gently, her face beaming with joy, "It looks so beautiful, Mom likes it very much."
"My daughter really knows how to care for me." Su's mother looked at herself in the mirror again and again.
“Mom looks stunning in this necklace! It makes you look so elegant and radiant,” Su Jiu said with a smile.
"My sweet daughter gave me such a nice piece of jewelry, I have to show it off to my girlfriends." With that, Su's mother picked up her phone, took a few selfies, and posted them on her WeChat Moments. The caption read: "{This necklace was a gift from my sweet daughter. Children don't earn money easily, and I didn't want her to buy me anything, but this child is so filial, she insisted on giving me this.}"
The post quickly garnered about twenty likes.
The comments below are all unanimously praising.
[I really envy Mrs. Su's good fortune! Her husband earns so much money, her sons are so successful, and her daughter is so filial!]
[Yes, Mrs. Su is truly a winner in life! Her son and daughter are both so outstanding! Everyone around me is obsessed with island getaways these days! I've become a fan of Ms. Su myself!]
[I'm so envious! Jade with such good clarity must be very expensive! I'm not as lucky as Mrs. Su!]
Mrs. Sue, Versailles: [I only have this one precious daughter, and I don't want her to spend money on this, but what can I do? This was custom-made by a designer for my daughter, and I can't ask her for a refund. It's her heartfelt gift, so there's nothing I can do.]
After Versailles ended, Su's mother was still not satisfied with showing off. She said to Su Jiu, "I definitely have to show off the jade necklace that my darling daughter gave me. I'll go show it to your father and your brothers."
She really needs to show off to her husband and kids!
After all, they don't have such good fortune!
What does this show? It shows that in her beloved daughter's heart, she, as her mother, is the most important person!
Mrs. Su left happily. When she saw Mr. Su, she craned her neck and said, "Honey, don't you think my neck has become smoother?"
Father Su: "I didn't notice the subtlety, but I did notice you have a new jade necklace, it's very beautiful."
"Yes, this was a gift from Xiaojiu," Su's mother said, beaming from ear to ear.
"What a coincidence! Xiao Jiu also gave me a jade thumb ring." Father Su raised his thumb, revealing the jade thumb ring he was wearing. "Look at mine, Xiao Jiu said it was a custom-made piece for me by a designer!"
The smile on Su's mother's face was a little stiff.
She went to Su Tianyi to show off, but unexpectedly saw Su Tianyi's jade bracelet. She then went to Su Xinglan, but unexpectedly saw the small jade pendant hanging on Su Xinglan's phone.
I didn't expect everyone to have one! She thought she was the most special person in Xiaojiu's heart!
Su's mother was a little annoyed, but then she thought, they have some, but none of them are as big as hers!
Xiao Jiu kept the largest piece of imperial green jadeite for herself to make a necklace, and gave them all very small pieces.
