Chapter 1101 Give me a second child to keep you company (1)
One day, Gui Yunlai took on a job of washing clothes for a family. She went to the street with a neighbor woman and suddenly saw an elegant and comfortable carriage slowly passing by. A very familiar woman lifted the curtain and looked around with interest while talking to a delicate little child beside her.
Gui Yunlai stared at the woman blankly, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind: "Du Xiang!"
"Du Xiang! Du Xiang! Is it really you? I am your master..." Gui Yunlai shouted excitedly after the carriage, but the woman who came out with her was startled, and quickly grabbed her and said, "Are you crazy! That's the wife of the Minister, not Du Xiang. Do you still want to be her master? You are dreaming! Don't implicate me if you go crazy..."
"The wife of the Minister?" Gui Yunlai stopped after being pulled, muttering in a daze. She definitely did not make a mistake. That woman was obviously her former maid Du Xiang. How could she suddenly become the wife of the Minister?
"Yes, she is the wife of the high and mighty Minister, very different from the likes of us. Speaking of which, this lady herself is quite legendary. She runs a bun shop, and the buns sold in that shop taste really good. I've eaten there several times, and I've never eaten buns that tasted so good! No wonder her business is so good. I heard that the masters in the palace sometimes send people out to buy..." The woman told Guiyun the anecdotes of the Minister's wife with relish.
However, Gui Yunlai had no intention to listen to these. She only remembered that Du Xiang was now the wife of the Minister. She had lived with Du Xiang for more than ten years, so it was impossible for her to be mistaken. But why did Du Xiang become the wife of the Minister? Wasn't it because she was infected with an epidemic and her face was disfigured that she was kind enough to let her leave the house? Why was her face intact now? And she married and became the wife of the high and mighty Minister?
"This...wife of the Minister...how did she marry her husband in the first place?" Gui Yunlai asked with a resentful look on his face.
Seeing her interest, the neighbor lady immediately spoke more enthusiastically: "Why do I say that this assistant minister's wife is very legendary? It is because although she was just a commoner who sold steamed buns on the street, she is a neighbor of today's assistant minister Zhu. Assistant Minister Zhu used to be short of money, and she worked as a helper for her and helped her sell steamed buns on the street. Isn't this a bond? After Assistant Minister Zhu passed the imperial examination, he immediately married her and rejected many daughters of wealthy families for this reason...
Tsk tsk, the wife of the Minister is really enviable. She had a keen eye for talent and became friends with Minister Zhu when he was still a young celebrity. She successfully married an ordinary woman to an official. After that, she was very good at taming her husband and firmly captured Minister Zhu's heart, making him have no other women around him. How many women envy her for this..."
Gui Yunlai listened to these words, her heart was in turmoil, she felt aggrieved and uncomfortable. Du Xiang was once just a lowly servant, but now she has become the wife of a minister who is high above her and envied by countless women. She can't even get close to her...
Only more than a decade later, the status of the master and servant had been reversed. Now she was the ground on the ground, and Du Xiang was the cloud in the sky. How could she bear this fact? So Gui Yunlai felt so aggrieved that his eyes went dark and he fainted.
While in the carriage, Shi Chu naturally heard someone calling her the long-lost name that belonged to the original owner. There was no one who would call her by that name now, except the original owner's former master Gui Yunlai.
After she heard Gui Yunlai's shout, she turned her head and took a quick look, and sure enough, she saw Gui Yunlai's hunched and skinny figure.
It seems that she recognized me, it's good that she recognized me, otherwise how could she be more miserable? Only now, she knew that her status and position had been reversed from that of a slave, and she felt like ants were gnawing at her heart every day, and she felt resentful and painful. She had to suffer like this for the rest of her life to be worthy of the original owner's life.

"Shichu, come and see how cute your brother is!" Mother Tang handed a baby who was only a month old to Tang Shichu and said with a smile, trying to let her daughter see the cuteness of her son.
Tang Shichu looked at the not-so-pretty baby with its eyes closed and its mouth moving, smiled perfunctorily, and said, "Yeah, it's really cute."
After hearing this, Tang's mother said happily, "I told you! You will definitely like your brother when he is born. Your father was afraid that you would have an opinion, so he didn't let you know that I was pregnant."
When Tang Shichu heard her words, he didn't even want to continue that perfunctory smile.
Mother Tang was still looking at her son with maternal love, and said complacently: "I knew that you were different from those cruel daughters in other families. I gave birth to your brother for your own good. Otherwise, when your father and I were gone, you would be left alone in this world. How lonely you would be. Now you finally have a brother. Even if your father and I are gone, he can keep you company."
Tang Shichu sneered in his heart, saying that they were having a child for their daughter's own good, so that she would have a companion in the future. That sounded really nice, but in fact it was just a cover-up for their own nature of favoring boys over girls and to cover up their reproductive desire. And they even had to use the original owner as a name, which was so hypocritical.
The original owner was a freshman in college. When she came back home after the first semester, she found that she had a younger brother. It turned out that her mother had kept her pregnancy a secret from her and didn't dare let her know until after the baby was born. She even said that she had given birth to a child for her to keep her company, so that she could get along well with her younger brother and help each other in the future.
In the original world's plot, the original owner was shocked to find out that she suddenly had a younger brother who was almost twenty years younger than her. She had always been the only daughter in the family. Even though her family conditions were not very good and she was a left-behind child when she was young and grew up with her grandparents, she had never suffered any grievances. After all, she was the only child in the family, and even if there was not much money, her needs would be met as much as possible.
But after she had a younger brother, things were different. She became redundant, but not really redundant. After all, her parents brainwashed her, saying that as an older sister, she should take good care of her younger brother and give in to him. After all, her younger brother was younger than her and she was so old now. Did she still have the nerve to compete with her younger brother?
The original owner could not accept the fact that she had a younger brother, and had a big quarrel with her parents, asking them why they did not discuss with her before having a second child. Her parents scolded her for being ungrateful, saying that as parents, it was up to them to decide whether to have children or not, and the original owner had no right to interfere with her parents' choice, saying that she was heartless and selfish for not agreeing with her parents having children.
