Grandma Xian considered that she was getting old, and in order to have a pillar for the family, she could only train her third granddaughter Xian Yingdi, who was just 15 years old, as the eldest sister to take care of her younger sisters.
The following sisters have good qualifications, but Grandma Xian has no other choice.
She had hoped that her beloved grandson Xian Baogen would be released from prison, but after serving his 22-year sentence, her grandson would be in his forties and almost fifty, and Grandma Xian was afraid that she would not be able to wait until that time.
Calculating the time, Grandma Xian would have to live to 81 years old to see Xian Baogen released from prison, which is too much to count at this age.
So she weighed the pros and cons and began to train her eldest granddaughter, Xian Yingdi, to take care of the household.
Yes, she had no intention of letting Xian Yingdi marry a son-in-law after giving birth. The family property must be left to Xian Baogen to enjoy after he was released from prison. Xian Yingdi was just the eldest sister who did not marry to take care of the household.
If I were to describe it in one sentence, it would be: You want the horse to run, but you don't give it grass to eat.
Of course, Grandma Xian was not so stupid as to tell her granddaughter her thoughts directly. Instead, she used indirect methods and often told her granddaughter the disadvantages of getting married.
In fact, there is no need to talk about the gossips of other people's families. Just the things happening in the Xian family have scared Xian Yingdi half to death.
The eldest brother Xian Baogen killed his wife Li Li, and sold his second wife Li Tao to Gou Fugui. The second sister Xian Niandi was married to Li Yong's family in the countryside, and no news was sent back home.
You can tell how hard it is to be someone's wife by just looking at her.
Coupled with Grandma Xian's threats, one daughter-in-law jumped into a well, and another daughter-in-law drank pesticides. Even at the age when love is budding, they can become calm.
After making sure that her granddaughter's thoughts had been properly educated, Grandma Xian took people to change the household registration and changed Xian Yingdi's name to Xian Shengnan.
Since the name involves many things, it was actually quite troublesome to change it. It took me two or three trips to succeed.
Holding the household registration book that was changed with great difficulty, Xian Shengnan's eyes lit up. Finally, she didn't have to call him Yingdi anymore!
Grandma Xian said lovingly to her grateful granddaughter, "Shengnan, you are the only hope of the family. Your sisters are all looking forward to your support. You must not get married rashly."
Xian Shengnan had never received so much attention before. She was so excited that her face turned red and she couldn't speak. She could only nod vigorously.
Seeing this, Grandma Xian said with satisfaction, "Your grandfather and I have some savings, so we'll risk our reputation to buy you a job. When the time comes, the burden of supporting the family will be on you."
First, she would use a job to tie down her granddaughter and ensure that she would not marry and earn money to support the family. Then, Grandma Xian could live out her days in peace and wait for her son and grandson to be released from prison.
Managing the household is too tiring and takes up a lot of energy, but I can't let it interfere with her longevity.
Raise them comfortably at home, under the pretext of taking care of the little granddaughters, and then when they grow up, get the betrothal money from the four granddaughters in his hands and give it to Xian Baogen to marry a wife.
It’s not a big deal if you are released from prison in your 40s. Men can still have children at 40, and many men have children at this age.
What does it matter that Xian Baogen had been in jail? Can’t he buy a wife with the betrothal gifts from his four younger sisters?
As long as the price is high, you can always find your ideal granddaughter-in-law. In order to avoid raising your daughters in vain by sending them to the countryside, many people in the county town sell their daughters at a fixed price.
Maybe by then Xian Baogen will be able to marry a pretty and tender woman of sixteen or seventeen years old!
Xian Shengnan had no idea that her grandmother had such a sinister plan. She still thought that as the eldest child in the family, her grandmother had given her the responsibility of supporting the family.
She was a simple person and didn't think that her grandmother was taking advantage of her. Instead, she was glad that she had a job that allowed her to control her own life.
Putting aside the family property, Xian Shengnan felt that not having to go to the countryside or marry an old man was a great thing.
When she is at work, she can be as cool as her elder sister, and excel in work and competitions. Xian Shengnan firmly believes that she can be better than men just like her name!
Since changing her name, Xian Shengnan has truly taken on the responsibilities of the family like a man, and has tried things that she would not have dared to do before.
Even if she did something wrong, it didn't matter, she would secretly ask her elder sister Xian Zhaodi.
She was very smart and knew that her grandmother didn't like her rebellious elder sister and always went there secretly. Her elder sister Xian Zhaodi was also willing to help this awakened younger sister.
If you are poor, you should take care of yourself; if you are rich, you should help the world.
Since Xian Zhaodi left her vampire-like family, she feels like a new person.
With the help of so many sisters and aunts from the Women's Federation, she escaped from her predicament and achieved many things through hard work that ordinary people could not even imagine. She was also willing to lend a helping hand to her sisters who came later.
So without Grandma Xian's knowledge, the pillar of the family that she had set her eyes on was instigated by Xian Zhaodi to rebel.
Xian Shengnan slowly came to her senses and realized that Grandma Xian only treated her like a beast of burden to support the family, but did not give her any rights.
How ridiculous! There are two carrots hanging in front of the donkey pulling the mill!
