Although Aunt Wang didn't explain it clearly, Wang Zhaodi understood it.

Although her parents were open-minded and let them study, her eldest sister did not get into university and got married immediately. The man was much older and was a factory worker. Although her eldest sister did not tell anyone every time she went back to her parents' home, she saw bruises on her eldest sister's body from being beaten several times.

"Sister, did your brother-in-law beat you again?"

Wang Damei paused and smiled, "No."

Wang Zhaodi said, "Sister, I know that your brother-in-law beat you. Last year when you came back to pay New Year's greetings, I heard that your brother-in-law was very angry because you bought things for my parents, and he said he would punish you when he got home."

Aunt Wang didn't expect that the things she had been hiding would be known by her younger sister at home.

She said, "Just keep it to yourself, don't tell my parents."

"Even if they knew, they wouldn't help you." Wang Zhaodi pursed her lips, "When they married you to my brother-in-law, they asked for so much gift money. People in the compound said they were selling their daughter."

"Your brother-in-law beat me because I was not pregnant and only gave birth to a daughter. It had nothing to do with the gift money when we got married." Aunt Wang made a weak excuse.

"Sister, my daughter can also be successful." Wang Zhaodi looked determined, "I will make them understand in the future."

"Okay." Aunt Wang looked at her sister who was innocent and full of hope for the future, but she didn't know where her own future lay.

Early the next morning, when Lian Qin got up, she found that her eldest daughter was missing.

"She won't go to the wedding, will she?" she asked her husband.

"No, she doesn't have the courage. Besides, without Feng Lei's approval, how could she dare to give a gift?" Wang Guiqiang drank the porridge in big gulps.

Lian Qin thought about it and agreed.

When Wang Zhaodi heard her father's words, she looked up in surprise, "You know Feng Lei treats my sister badly? Then why don't you do anything about it?"

"What do you know, kid? Just eat your food." Wang Guiqiang scolded his daughter.

Wang Zhaodi bit her lip, put down her chopsticks, stood up and left, "I'm full."

"Girl, the more you spoil her, the worse her temper will be."

"Okay, leave her alone."

Wang Zhaodi carried her schoolbag and walked out of the house quickly. When she closed the door, she could still hear the conversation between her parents.

She ran out with big strides, and on the way she met people from the compound. Someone even asked her, "Zhaodi, are you going to attend Sanmei's wedding?"

Wang Zhaodi did not stop and ran towards Ji's store.

When she ran over, the bride had already got into the car and there was a crowd of people gathered outside. Wang Zhaodi could only see through the gap that her eldest sister saw her second sister off to the car.

Her eyes were red, she knew that her eldest sister loved them the most and would definitely come.

Finally, the bride and groom took a car to the hotel, and Wang Zhaodi squeezed next to Wang Damei.

"Big sister."

Wang Damei saw her and said with a smile, "Let's go to the banquet."

Wang Zhaodi nodded and held her sister's hand. Wang Damei was stunned for a moment, took her hand back and saw ten yuan in it.

"Sister, this is the money I saved. You can use it as a gift. Don't use the Feng family's money." Wang Zhaodi said in a firm tone.

Wang Damei was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay."

Only two sisters from the Wang family came from the Wang family's family, so naturally they had to be treated well.

When Wang Zhaodi came over just now, she didn't come forward. When she saw her sister's actions, her heart twisted.

"Sister, brother Zhao, let's go."

"good."

The Wang sisters were arranged to sit at a table for important guests at the front. They were dining with Old Lady Zhu, Mother Xu and Old Lady Ji.

Old Mrs. Ji had a stern face. When Ji Ling left to entertain the guests, she asked Xu's mother for help to look after the baby.

What could possibly happen sitting here?

Xu's mother didn't understand at first, but after they sat down, Mrs. Ji started asking why the Wang couple didn't come, and then Xu's mother understood her granddaughter's intention.

She interrupted Old Lady Ji with a smile, "My in-laws are curious about this, and so am I. Wait a minute, I'll call Xu Fang over and ask her what's going on."

When she heard that her daughter-in-law was going to be called over, Mrs. Ji frowned and said, "Forget it, I just asked casually. Everyone knows that the Wang family opposes this marriage."

Regardless of whether the people present would feel embarrassed, Old Lady Ji said, "Jianhua has been disobedient since he was young. He should make his own decision on marriage when he grows up. He is not bad, so he can find anyone he wants. Why does he have to find someone whose family opposes him? Isn't that asking for trouble?"

Xu's mother always knew that this relative was a muddle-headed person.

What kind of occasion is today? Saying such things in front of the girl's sisters, isn't that looking down on them? The parents didn't come, but the sisters did, which shows that the two children are caring. Who wouldn't feel sorry for them and take better care of them? But this old man is still making sarcastic remarks.

Mother Xu's smile faded a little. "To be honest, Jianhua has never been around you since he was a child, so he hasn't learned the shrewdness of his in-laws. After all, your in-laws asked someone to read their horoscopes. Jianhua is unlucky for you. Fortunately, you asked someone to read it, otherwise you would have suffered a lot if Jianhua had stayed by your side all these years."

Old Mrs. Ji was superstitious about this, and the Ji and Xu families thought it was shameful and had never told anyone about it.

After finding out that her eldest grandson's horoscope was unlucky for her, Old Lady Ji even pretended that she didn't have this grandson.

Her family didn't care about this matter, but Mrs. Ji knew what outsiders would say if they knew.

At this time, in front of everyone, Xu's mother said it bluntly, and Mrs. Ji's face turned pale and red.

Old Mrs. Zhu has a good temper and doesn't like to gossip about other people, but she couldn't stand it today.

She smiled and agreed with Xu's mother, "There is also this matter. Jianhua has grown up so much, so he doesn't see his grandmother very often, right?"

"You can't see him." Mother Xu waved her hands seriously, "Not only can you not see him, you have to pretend that this grandson doesn't exist, otherwise it will be offensive."

Old Mrs. Zhu was already very surprised when she heard that the horoscopes were incompatible. Now, when she heard that her own grandson was treated as non-existent because of superstition, she was so shocked that she forgot to speak.

As for the Wang sisters, Wang Damei was able to keep her composure, but Wang Zhaodi was both embarrassed and annoyed. However, she also knew that she could not cause trouble for her second sister in an occasion like today.

At this moment, Xu's mother and Grandma Zhu stood up to defend them and broke the news. The shame and anger in her heart dissipated, and she looked at Grandma Ji in surprise.

Old Mrs. Ji’s face had turned dark.

Xu's mother pretended not to notice and took her hand affectionately. "We all understand that as an elder, everyone has their own hobbies. Fortunately, our younger generations are filial and don't care about it like we do."

Old Mrs. Ji smiled with a forced smile, and her eyes looked as if they wanted to poke a hole in Xu's mother's body.

But Xu's mother was not afraid of her and turned to talk to the Wang sisters.

"Sanmei is marrying Jianhua, you sisters can rest assured. If Jianhua dares to let Sanmei suffer, I, your grandmother, will be the first to not forgive him."

"Grandma Xu, thank you. It's a blessing for Sanmei to marry Jianhua."
