Chapter 320 - 320 Disappointment
320 Disappointment
Xue Yan felt that his mother was quite funny at that time, so he couldn’t help but laugh along, “When we were at the stall, we saw your brother sneakily hiding in a corner and watching our stall. When we came back, we heard about this and thought it couldn’t be such a coincidence. That’s why we knew they were pretending.”
“He even went to town to keep an eye on our stall?!” When Liu Guixia found out about this, she was enraged and her eyes almost turned red again. “He only cares about the money.” As he said that, she sniffed and laughed, “Forget it. I don’t care about them. I’ve already gotten over it. Without them, I’d have a better life.”
Speaking of this, Liu Guixia couldn’t help but recall her past. While walking back, she spoke to Jiang Yue and Xue Yan in a light manner.
“In the past, when I was young, your grandma didn’t like me. She thought that since I was a girl, I would belong to someone else’s family sooner or later. She thought that everything good would be given to my brother. Whatever he did wrong, it would always end up as my fault. I would be the one who was beaten and scolded.
“From the moment I was of age, she immediately made me go to work. Even if I had a penny, it would be snatched away. He didn’t have to work a day in his life when I was around. Fortunately, when I married your dad, his father was very kind to me. ”
Liu Guixia had never talked about these things before. If she could say it, it meant that she had really gotten over it.
Jiang Yue and Xue Yan didn’t say anything, they just listened quietly.
“I remember that your grandma kept all the dowries for my brother,” Liu Guixia continued. “To be honest, I was so sad I wanted to die. I was the only one in the entire village who didn’t have a dowry. I was sold off. However, to be able to be a family like this… It must have been a blessing from several lifetimes. I should have cherished it earlier.”
“If they really treated me as their daughter or sister… Even if it’s just a little,” Liu Guixia said, “Maybe I’ll forget about it and make up with them one day. I can overlook many things, it’s hard for me to be cruel.”
After a pause, Liu Guixia continued, “But they didn’t even try, not even a little bit. They just wanted our family’s money. They’re just like Dagui’s family. I don’t expect them to be able to do it, but I won’t let them treat our family like they did before.”
She had been confused for the longest. She wasn’t the only one who had caused the family to suffer a lot of grievances. Finally, a burden she carried for years was finally lifted.
In the past, every time she went back to her mother’s house, her husband, her son, and her daughter-in-law would suffer. They just didn’t kick up a fuss for her sake, afraid that she would be even more upset.
Only Sanfu couldn’t control his temper and almost beat up her brother a few times. That family was terrified of Sanfu.
Thinking of her third son, Liu Guixia suddenly changed the topic and asked Xue Yan, “Sanfu should be back by now, right? It’s been so long since we’ve met him.”
“Didn’t he send someone back to pass a message last time? He said he’ll be back by the end of the month, right? That should be within the next few days.” Xue Yan replied.
