Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Zhao Sisi looked at her parents and then at her brother, Zhao Yuanzheng, who was already eating at the dining table.
Her 12-year-old brother ignored her and focused on eating. đłređ˛đ eđnđźvđ˛l.cđ¨đŚ
At this moment, Zhao Sisi felt a little disappointed.
When did her lively home become like this?
Zhao Sisi glared at Zhao Yuanzheng and shouted angrily, âZhao Yuanzheng, arenât you going to greet me?â
Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Zhao Sisi coldly before continuing to eat.
âWhat are you doing? Why are you shouting at your brother as soon as you come back? Canât you see that your brother is eating?â Jin Xiaojing looked at Zhao Sisi with disdain.
âMother, youâre harming my brother by spoiling him like this!â Zhao Sisi couldnât help but say.
âThereâs no need for you to worry! Youâre about to get married, so donât worry about our matters! As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water that has been splashed out. Itâs better for you not to interfere in our matters in the future!â Jin Xiaojingâs cold-hearted words hurt Zhao Sisiâs feelings.
When Zhao Sisi heard this, her heart ached so much that she felt numb to the pain.
Wasnât the reason she moved in with Grandpa and Grandma because she couldnât stand her motherâs sarcasm every day?
Thinking of this, Zhao Sisi calmed down and looked at her father, Zhao Long.
âFather, do you think so too?â
Zhao Long looked at his daughter. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didnât want to ruin their relationship.
âSisi, have you eaten yet? Why donât we eat together?!â
When Zhao Sisi heard this, she could no longer suppress the bitterness in her heart.
âFather, Mother, this is my home. Youâre my parents! Since when did I have to be invited to the table by my father?! I know that because of my marriage to Mao Dao, youâre very dissatisfied. You guys have always wanted to use me to cozy up to the rich and powerful and bring you benefits! But why donât you think about my conditions? In my current state, even if I marry into a rich family, will I really be able to live a comfortable life?â
As soon as she said this, Jin Xiaojing looked annoyed. Even Zhao Long looked indifferent.
Zhao Sisi suddenly felt a little tired and no longer had any desire to speak.
âFather, donât look for Mao Dao in the future! If you want to do business, think of a way yourself! Since you donât like Mao Dao, donât look for him!â Zhao Longâs face turned pale when he heard Zhao Sisiâs words.
âMao Dao told you?â
When Zhao Sisi saw her fatherâs expression change, she immediately thought of something. Then, she sneered.
âFather, do you really think what you did was foulproof? Do you think others didnât see you when you went to look for Mao Dao on the way to the shop? Others saw and heard you, then they told me everything!â
At this point, Zhao Sisi told her everything else.
âI can understand that you want to do business and earn money! Because youâre my parents, I went to look for Xiaoran and asked her to help me come up with an idea to help Mao Dao and me earn a living. Without hesitation, Xiaoran told me a way to earn money! Originally, I wanted to tell you this way to earn money, but from the looks of it, thereâs no need for you guys to know!â
When Zhao Long and Jin Xiaojing heard Zhao Sisiâs words, their expressions immediately changed and they became enthusiastic.
âHey, you should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, these things wouldnât have happened. Come, sit down and eat!â Jin Xiaojing said as she pulled Zhao Sisi to sit down.
How could Zhao Sisi let her mother have her way? She pulled her hand away coldly and took a few steps back.
âThereâs no need. Grandpa and Grandma make food every day and wait for me to go back to eat, so I wonât disturb your familyâs meal! After all, a married daughter is useless!â
With that, Zhao Sisi walked out.
âHey, why are you so angry? I was just joking with you. Why do you take it to heart?!â Jin Xiaojing immediately shouted anxiously when she saw Zhao Sisi running away.
Unfortunately, Zhao Sisi was already heartbroken and left without looking
back.
Zhao Longâs expression turned even uglier!
âHusband, why didnât you stop your daughter?â Jin Xiaojing complained anxiously, âLook, sheâs already gone!â
âStop her? Didnât you give your daughter attitude all day long? Now that youâve broken her heart, youâre blaming me?! Iâve lost my appetite!â As Zhao Long spoke, he put his chopsticks aside and turned to return to his room.
Furious, Jin Xiaojing picked up her chopsticks and ate by herself.
From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yuanzheng remained silent.
After dinner, Zhao Yuanzheng ran out to play without helping clean up the dishes!
Amidst the silence, Jin Xiaojing suddenly felt that the food in her mouth tasted bland.
How did she end up living such a miserable life?
When Zhao Sisi returned to Grandpa and Grandmaâs courtyard, she stood at the door for a moment as she composed herself.
After that, Zhao Sisi walked into the house with a smile.
âGrandpa, Grandma, Iâm back! Iâve been busy all day. Iâm so hungry now! What delicious food are we going to eat today? I can smell the aroma from afar!â Zhao Huaishan smiled when he saw Zhao Sisi return.
âQuick, go wash your hands and sit down! Your grandma made braised pork and your favorite dishes today!â
âThatâs right. Sisi, come and try my cooking!â Xu Xiufang also greeted her with a smile.
After Zhao Sisi ran to wash her hands, she picked up the two eldersâ bowls and scooped rice for them.
âDonât scoop rice for me and your grandfather. Scoop rice for yourself first!â Xu Xiufang said with a smile.
Zhao Sisi said, âGrandpa and Grandma, youâve worked hard, so itâs only right for me to scoop rice for you! Iâm still young, so I wonât go hungry even if I eat later! On the other hand, Grandpa and Grandmaâs health is more important. In the future, if I come back late, eat first. Donât go hungry. Just leave some food in the pot!â
âSilly girl, we wonât starve. As a family, we naturally have to sit together and eat.â Xu Xiufang looked at Zhao Sisi lovingly as she said, âAlright, letâs eat quickly. If we donât eat now, the food will get cold!â
Zhao Sisi nodded emotionally. Then, she ate with relish.
She received the care she had lost from her parents!
Therefore, she was still blissful! At least she had the love of her grandparents!
