At this time, Mrs. Su was slamming Su Xingtian's door hard. She was so angry that her face turned red and veins on her forehead bulged. When Mrs. Wu opened the door, she immediately went in and slapped Su Xingtian, who was still leaning on the bed, in the face. Su Xingtian fell to the side and fell on the bed.
Mother Wu was shocked. When she reacted, she rushed forward and blocked in front of Mrs. Su. She said in a trembling voice, "Second Madam, Miss Six is still sick!"
Mrs. Su ignored Mother Wu. She frowned and scolded Mother Wu harshly, then she yelled at Su Xingtian: "You have read so much that it has become a dog's stomach! You are living a good life, but you commit suicide. Who are you trying to trouble? You always do the wrong things. Even if I raise a dog, it knows when to wag its tail and when to go back to its cage. You are worse than an animal. What's the use of you?!"
Since childhood, Su Xingtian has been accustomed to such insults.
Others said that Mrs. Su was a very disciplined person.
Mrs. Su Er is a rule-abiding woman. She practices the rules of a boudoir with her own actions and takes those rules and regulations more seriously than anyone else. Her favorite saying is that a woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent.
Mrs. Su Er has never liked girls.
She herself was not happy when she was at her mother's house. All she did every day was do needlework for her brothers. As a result, although she was not very old, her eyesight deteriorated early.
After getting married, Mrs. Su was the same, she only hoped to have a boy.
It's good to have more boys; one girl is not enough.
Su Xingtian was not expected to be born. When she was born, before Master Su Er said anything, Mrs. Su Er started crying first. She was so disgusted that she didn't even want to look at her. She said that she was guilty for not being able to give birth to a son to make Master Su Er proud.
Master Su Er was confused himself and told her that the first one would be good no matter whether it was a boy or a girl.
Mrs. Su Er, however, did not listen at all. She threw her daughter to the wet nurse after giving birth. After recuperation, she became pregnant with the Eighth Young Master.
So she is the same age as the Eighth Young Master, one at the beginning and the other at the end of the same year.
She had been accustomed to her mother's neglect since she was a child. She also knew clearly that in Mrs. Su's heart, she was not even as good as her mother's nephew, let alone being better than Xiaoba and Xiaojiu.
The fact that she is a girl is her original sin.
Under normal circumstances, such humiliation would not have affected Su Xingtian at all, as she had been accustomed to oppression since she was a child. But after failing to die once, she suddenly figured things out.
Even her death could not win her mother's sympathy. Is such a mother still worthy of her respect
She suddenly raised her head and glanced at Mrs. Su Er quietly, with disdain and ridicule in her eyes.
Mrs. Su Er was completely unaware and kept poking her with her fingers, almost poking her between the eyebrows: "What's the point of you being alive!? If you weren't innocent, your brother wouldn't have gotten into trouble..."
Su Xingtian could no longer bear it and finally fought back: "Then why did you give birth to me?! Do you think I am willing to be your daughter?!"
This was the first time she had resisted in her life. Mother Wu was startled and quickly reached out to cover her mouth, but it was too late. Mrs. Su was only stunned for a short time before she flew into a rage: "You are worse than a beast. If I had known you were like this, I would have thrown you into the potty and drowned you when you were born!"
In fact, Mrs. Su Er had said the same thing countless times before.
Su Xingtian sneered: "It would be better if she drowned. I would rather die than live with a mother like this! Since you hate your daughter so much, why don't you hate yourself? Aren't you a woman?!"
Why should women be inferior
She saw that her grandmother treated her older sister and older brother no differently.
Even though my eldest sister divorced and returned to her parents' home, my grandmother only felt pity for her and never despised her.
And there is the fourth sister, she also lives with her head held high.
Why should I be so self-deprecating and tortured just because I’m a girl, and even marry a cousin who only knows how to beat women? !
This is really outrageous! Mrs. Su was so angry at Su Xingtian's reaction that she felt dizzy and wanted to grab Su Xingtian's hair viciously.
Mother Wu tried her best to protect and persuade her, and trembling with fear, "Second Madam, if you make such a fuss, I'm afraid you will alarm the old lady again..."
As she was speaking, Mother Wen came in quickly. When Mother Wu saw her, she subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
"Second Madam!" Mother Wen took a few quick steps, glanced at Su Xingtian who was crying and almost fainting on the bed, and hurried to whisper in the ear of the Second Madam, "There is news from the Second Master..."
Madam Su Er had to stop, but she still pointed at Su Xingtian angrily: "You are a jinx, a jinx! If anything happens to your ninth brother, I will peel off your skin!"
Su Xingtian burst into tears.
Mrs. Su Er had already followed Mother Wen out and stood at the corner of the corridor, enjoying the breeze. She asked her, "What are they saying over there?"
Mother Wen first whispered the Second Master's instructions, and then said hesitantly, "The Second Master told you not to be too harsh on the Sixth Miss and not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Mrs. Su Er's face immediately turned ugly, but she respected her husband very much after all, and she would not object to what her husband said no matter how much she disagreed with it in her heart.
Therefore, he just snorted lightly and said to Mother Wen impatiently: "Why don't you go and do your work?"
At least there was no noise. Mother Wen responded and hurriedly turned around and went out. She went to the kitchen first, and then returned to the second room to get some clothes to take to the laundry in the outer courtyard.
Mother Liu was watching the maids washing clothes while sitting under the grape trellis in the yard to avoid the sun, occasionally scolding them for being lazy. When she looked up and saw Mother Wen coming over, she stood up with a smile on her face, "Why did you come here in person, mother? Look how bright the sun is. Come on, sit down and have a drink of water!"
As he spoke, he urged the little girl to fetch some water.
It was cold well water. Mother Wen took a sip and said with a smile, "These are the Ninth Young Master's clothes. I was afraid that the girls might not be careful and could not explain clearly, so I sent them out myself. Did I delay your business?"
"How could that be possible?" Mother Liu smiled. The second wife had given her many benefits recently. She was tired and miserable in the laundry. Her life had gone from bad to worse than before. She had lost everything. Now that she had finally got some income, how could she not be diligent
Mother Wen smiled as she watched the little girl come over and take the clothes. Then she said to Mother Liu, "Last time I heard you say that your godson is now working in the outer study?"
Speaking of this, Mother Liu's face lit up: "Yes, this kid has a good brain and is very active."
