Chapter 897: I Think You've Had Enough Good Days

Chunxiao originally wanted to lie, but seeing the cold look in her second sister's eyes, she said, "I was angry that you didn't welcome me, so I spoke without thinking; it wasn't intentional."

Xiao Fu saw his little daughter's guilty expression and knew she had definitely caused trouble: "Speak up, what did you say this time?"

Chunxiao stammered and couldn't go on.

Liu Chuxue spoke coldly, "You should speak then; didn't you say I'd divorce as soon as I married? I don't have a vicious sister like you."

After speaking, she opened the clay pot on the stove, scooped water out, and said, "Mom, Dad, I'm tired; I'll go back to my room first."

Once Liu Chuxue was gone, Xiao Fu glared coldly at his little daughter: "That is your second sister; have you lost your mind to say such things?"

Chunxiao probably felt she had gone too far and kept her head down, saying nothing.

Xiao Fu stepped forward and pulled her up: "Tell me, in what way has your second sister wronged you? If not for your second sister, we wouldn't be living the life we have now; what exactly are you dissatisfied with?"

How would Chunxiao dare to say she was dissatisfied? If she really spoke up, a beating today was certain.

She also knew that if not for her second sister's boldness, their branch of the family could never have broken free from the control of the old house; with so many troubles happening one after another at the old house, she probably wouldn't even be able to attend school, let alone be recognized by her own grandfather and brought back to the city.

But whether in the village or after coming to the city, as long as her second sister was there, they never saw her.

Thinking of the baby in her mother's belly, which was very likely a son—after all, her mother often said the feeling was different from carrying them sisters—if it were a younger brother, wouldn't she have to sink even lower into the dust?

She also knew she shouldn't offend her capable second sister, but she just couldn't control herself.

Ever since moving to the city, whenever her parents mentioned her second sister, their eyes were full of light; before, she wanted to become a city dweller and make the village girls envy her, so after entering the city she was especially excited, but truly once in the city, every time her grandfather and others met her second sister, they had endless things to say, and the neighbors were always overly enthusiastic when they saw her second sister.

But what about her? Like a transparent person, she was even despised at school as a country bumpkin; even though her clothes weren't worse than the city girls', once people knew she had transferred from the countryside, most wouldn't play with her, and the few who remained were only because their own circumstances were poor and they wanted to cheat things out of her; don't think she couldn't see through that.

Xiao Mu got up and walked to her side: "Chunxiao, your father is asking you a question; hasn't your second sister done enough? Why did you say those things? Do you know how hurtful they are?"

Chunxiao's eyes turned red immediately: "Is it only her in your eyes? Oh, no, wait, when you give birth to a son in the future, that will be the child you value most; I'm afraid even your second sister will have to step back?"

Xiao Fu slapped her face directly: "Put your hand on your heart and say, haven't we treated you well? I think you've had enough good days; you're burning up with fever."

Before, when you were just muddling along under the old couple of the Liu family, I never saw you so unruly; now you've actually learned some tricks, listening to others' gossip and turning wind into rain, then coming back to stir up trouble for the family; you really are stupid enough.

How much has your second sister done for this family, and how much have you done? Can't you see? Why don't you compare? I really don't know what you're thinking all day long.

You just said we are biased; what exactly are we biased toward? Say one, two, three!"

Xiao Mu also chimed in: "Haven't we treated you well? After coming to the city, we made several new outfits for you in a row; originally we planned to make one for your second sister, but she gave even her own share to you; what more do you want?"
