Li Ermei is the middle child in the family, with her smooth older sister Li Damei above her and her favored younger brother Li Guoyue below her. She is stuck in the middle and has been disliked by the elders since she was born.
It is said that when she was just born, she was almost given away by Mrs. Li because she was still a girl. However, because Mr. Li was a teacher at the time, giving the child away would always have a bad influence, so he continued to raise Li Ermei and even gave her a random name.
Because she was not valued or liked since she was a child, Li Ermei became very self-respecting, liked to compare herself with others, and wanted to be valued so that her parents would look up to her.
So, when she saw Li Damei marrying Lin Dachuan when she was young, she also insisted on marrying Ye Changhai, who worked in the same factory as Lin Dachuan.
As a result, Lin Dachuan was promoted step by step, but Ye Changhai, who was content with the status quo, remained an electrician.
Li Damei's life is getting better and better, but Li Ermei's life is getting worse and worse.
Ye Changhai is just an electrician and doesn't make much money every month, but Li Ermei wants to follow Li Damei's example and not go out to work, but to be a housewife at home.
Perhaps influenced by her mother's family's patriarchal ideology, Li Ermei is also a person who favors boys over girls. Because she gave birth to a daughter as her first child, she insisted on having a second one.
As a result, the second one turned out to be a son, but the two children made the already poor family even more stretched.
It is also because of this that Li Ermei is even less welcome in her mother's family.
When the Wei family first approached Li Ermei's family and said they wanted to marry Ye Qin, Ye Changhai was unwilling. No matter what, he couldn't let his daughter marry a fool.
But Li Ermei agreed without even thinking about it. She knew in her heart that even if Ye Qin was not welcomed after marrying him, at least she could get money from the Wei family.
As long as she has money, not only can her family life be improved, but she can also make a name for herself in her parents' home. Why not do it!
Just like that, the original owner, who was just in her early twenties, married the foolish eldest son of the Wei family.
Ye Qin leaned against the window, looking at Li Ermei who was standing at the door because of being scolded by Old Lady Li, and a sarcastic smile appeared at the corner of her thin lips.
She seemed to understand why the original owner had lived like a dog in the Wei family, because only by being a dog could she get benefits and money, and then give them to this mother who was patriarchal and like a vampire.
I also understand why the original owner tried every means to get close to and seduce Wei Yan. Wei Chen, the young master, could not help the original owner at all. Only Wei Yan, the heir of the Wei family, could truly help her and her family.
If she became the future mistress of the Wei family, her mother Li Ermei would also be able to hold her head up high in her natal family.
What a sick family...
Thinking of this, Ye Qin couldn't help but miss her own home. Her family did not discriminate against boys. Her parents and elders loved her, and her brother doted on her. Compared to the original owner's humble life, she was much happier.
After all, can she return to her original self?
While Ye Qin was distracted by her thoughts, Li Damei smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, it's not easy for my second sister to carefully prepare these things. It's all out of filial piety!"
"Hmph!" Old Lady Li snorted coldly, "Damei, you just love to speak up for her. You've spoiled her since she was a kid!"
Li Damei smiled and said, "They are all my brothers and sisters, how can I not spoil them?"
Li Ermei put down her things, walked stiffly to the side and sat down. When she heard what Li Damei said, her eyes darkened.
