Our family can afford to support you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We’ll take good care of you, even if we have to sell everything we own.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know. It’s just, I only recently woke up, so eating something light is better for my recovery.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, well then, Chi, you eat more meat. In this heat, it’ll spoil by tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom, you all eat up. Don’t worry. Tomorrow, I’ll take Jiaojiao out for a nice meal at a restaurant. Your son doesn’t lack for money.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Su family had great faith in Su Shuochi. If he said he would do something, he would do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ever since his injury, he’d become withdrawn and unwilling to talk. The family had already used up all their savings on the wedding banquet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last of their money had been spent over the past two days on Jiaojiao’s IV drips, and they still had to wait another ten days for payday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su’s mother had been planning to sell her heirloom gold bracelet, but now that her son said he had money, she could rest easy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so, the three of them began to feast on the meat, their faces breaking into wide, happy smiles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them so happy, a rare smile touched Su Shuochi’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dinner at the Sheng family’s home was not nearly as harmonious. Everyone ate without tasting their food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Shijing hadn’t left after all. The reason was that his mother had gotten into a fight with the woman next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What had happened was this: Sheng Xinglian had insisted on walking her eldest brother out. Along the way, she overheard some women gossiping about how Gu Jiaojiao had fainted from anger again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Sheng family’s eldest son, genuinely worried about Gu Jiaojiao, wanted to go to the Su family’s home to check on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could Sheng Xinglian possibly allow her brother to go and lend Gu Jiaojiao his support!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, she started weeping and arguing with the women, which eventually escalated into a heated quarrel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Miraculously, she came out of it unscathed. Their \"elegant and poised\" mother, however, ended up in a physical fight with one of the women, and both were injured in the end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As a result, no one had to pay for any medical expenses. They just went home sullenly to eat dinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one dared to speak at the dinner table. The dining room was utterly silent. The family sat in their respective chairs, eating in a heavy, oppressive silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before today, Sheng Shiwu would have definitely been running his mouth about Gu Jiaojiao’s faults, since he always had a problem with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, however, his opinion of Gu Jiaojiao had changed. He knew that even mentioning her name would make everyone at home unhappy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t understand why his family had ended up like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Shijing was worried about Gu Jiaojiao. ’She fainted from anger again because of those gossips in the compound. I wonder if she’s woken up yet.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Even though she’s not my biological sister, we raised her for many years. I poured all my brotherly affection into her. It’s not something I can just give up on a whim.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Gu Jiaojiao is innocent. Her only crime was living eighteen happy years with our Sheng family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Meanwhile, my real sister was suffering on a farm. If we’re nice to Gu Jiaojiao, it’s like twisting a knife in my real sister’s heart.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Ever since my real sister came home, I’ve tried my best not to be so good to Gu Jiaojiao, just to keep my sister from getting the wrong idea.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Suddenly treating Gu Jiaojiao coldly... even I have a hard time with it, let alone an innocent girl like Jiaojiao, who we pampered and spoiled her whole life.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Jiaojiao’s health was already poor because she was born prematurely. She couldn’t handle our sudden cold shoulder and started getting sick all the time.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’No matter how much we don’t want to hurt our real sister, we can’t just stand by and watch Jiaojiao suffer, can we?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But whenever we showed Jiaojiao the slightest bit of concern, Xingxing would get jealous and make a scene, and my two blockheaded younger brothers would grow to resent Jiaojiao even more.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’For the better part of a year, the house has been in total chaos. Dad and I just hoped her real family would come get her soon, but there’s been no sign of the Gu Family.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then Dad and I looked away for one second, and our two blockheads got into a brawl with their two sisters, causing that huge mess.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In the end, Dad had no choice but to beg the crippled Su Shuochi to marry Jiaojiao. It’s only natural that Jiaojiao would be upset and throw a tantrum.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Su Shuochi isn’t at fault, and neither are we. If anyone’s to blame, it’s my own sister.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’If she could just be a bit more gracious, if she didn’t constantly pick on and target Jiaojiao, Dad and I would be able to dote on her more. We’d spend the rest of our lives loving her and making it up to her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Then none of us would be so miserable right now. My sister has suffered a lot, it’s true, but Gu Jiaojiao is innocent in all this!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’We never said we wouldn’t send Gu Jiaojiao away. We’re just waiting for her family to come and get her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Why can’t my own sister tolerate even that?’ Sheng Shijing shot a hateful glare at Sheng Xinglian, who was eating quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The look was sharper than a knife. Sheng Xinglian’s feelings of being wronged instantly intensified. Her lip trembled, and tears of grief began to stream down her face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’In my past life, my eldest brother was so good to me! Now, not only is he not nice to me, but he’s also become so malicious!’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’That bitch Gu Jiaojiao is just putting on a pitiful act. Fainting again? She should just drop dead and solve everyone’s problems.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’The Gu Family will be ruined and dead soon enough, anyway.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Xinglian’s sobs drew the attention of the Sheng family. Mrs. Sheng asked anxiously, \"Xingxing, what is it now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’I don’t know how the Gu Family raised this daughter of mine,’ she thought. ’She’s so timid and sensitive.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Meanwhile, I took the Gu Family’s premature baby, nursed her to health, and on top of that, gave her eighteen years of a mother’s love.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mom... I’m fine. I just heard that my sister fainted from anger again... She’s so pitiful...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pitiful? What’s pitiful about her? Our Sheng family waited on her hand and foot for eighteen years.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s there to pity about an ungrateful brat? Weren’t we good to her before?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mrs. Sheng and Second Sheng yelled in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Sheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t started this fight, so he just buried his head in his bowl and kept eating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to take it anymore, Mr. Sheng slammed his chopsticks on the table. \"She’s already married to Su Shuochi! What more do you people want before you’ll finally be satisfied?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Mr. Sheng didn’t call Sheng Xinglian out by name, he fixed her with a look as sharp as a dagger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dad, how can you say that?\" Sheng Shijing interjected. \"Mom’s not the one who’s unsatisfied. I know you can’t bear to part with our sister. None of us can.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Sheng addressed Xinglian directly. \"Xingxing, I’m not reluctant to let her go. I’m just waiting for her family to come and take her home. How many times do I have to say it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sheng Xinglian trembled with anger. She had suffered so much, and her father just dismissed it all with a few casual words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The world started to go dark around her. She swayed and shook her head in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How about I go kill Jiaojiao for you? Would that make you feel better?\" Third Sheng muttered under his breath, seeing her pitiful act.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He was starting to get it now. All of this was happening because Xingxing couldn’t stand Jiaojiao.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Third Brother, you all doted on Jiaojiao for eighteen years. How can you be so sinister and cruel?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Third Sheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Is my sister really this dense, or is she doing it on purpose?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’d never considered that question before.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her children like this, Mrs. Sheng didn’t know who to blame. In the end, she could only place all the fault on Gu Jiaojiao’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s all that menace, Gu Jiaojiao! If it weren’t for her, would our family be in this state?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his own mother and sister, Sheng Shijing felt a wave of powerlessness wash over him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Jiaojiao was so thoughtful, sensible, and sweet... and yet she wasn’t his real sister. And just because of that, they had to shut her out.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It had caused the once sweet and sensible Jiaojiao to become unreasonable, her health getting worse and worse...’\u003C\u002Fp>",1498,"2026-06-03T03:31:20.613Z","2026-06-03T03:31:25.280Z",1,"novelbin.me","abab8bc62f3f00e75b60869a6b949b16cc8a4175f6758b8eecbed294d526459e","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-13","back-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-chapter-11",635,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fback-to-the-1980s-transmigrated-as-the-bigshot-s-cover.jpg"]
