'If you want to blame someone, you can only blame your bad luck for being born into a poor family.
Women have to get married anyway, and a married daughter is like water spilled.
Do you think we can get any help from you
I have done my best to raise you until you were eighteen and allowed you to graduate from high school.
Look at the girls in the village. Which one has read as many books as you
Wei Juan remembers these words, and her father also remembers them.
Mother Wei took over what Father Wei said, "You really can't blame us for this.
At that time, your brother was still in college! How could the family afford to support two college students
Do you think your father has a money printing machine? "
Wei's mother didn't realize what they did wrong. It was only natural to support her son's education.
As for my daughter, as long as I raise her, I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a parent.
What else does she want
Bai Chen glanced at Wei's mother's calm eyes and felt deeply sad and heartbroken for Wei Juan. That was the sadness of the times and the region.
"You finally got to the point. My brother is in college, so my sister can't go, right
In that case, you still want to live in my house, do you think it makes sense?"
"You are such an ungrateful child. I have raised you in vain." Wei's mother was so angry that she threw out the moral shackles again, "Your brother is older than you and went to school before you, how can it be the same
If you are older than him, maybe you will go and he won’t be able to go.”
Bai Chen snorted coldly, he really was good at telling lies with his eyes open.
"Really? The elder sister is older than the brother. How come you only let her go to school for two years, and she can't even recognize all the words, and then you let her go home to farm
My eldest sister had good grades back then, and was top of the class in grades one and two. But you said there was no one to work at home, so you only let her go to school for two years.
If I were older than my brother, I might be the same as my elder sister, or even worse than her!"
The eldest sister had been silent at first, but when Bai Chen reminded her, she couldn't help but burst into grief, tears streaming down her face. She had no choice but to put Dongdong in Wei Qiang's arms.
Little Dongdong doesn't understand much about what adults say, but he is a good boy and usually doesn't interrupt when adults are talking.
Wei Qiang simply carried Dongdong into the bedroom and took out a large box of building blocks for him to play with.
The toy immediately caught his eye.
Who cares about the swords drawn and the chaos outside
When Wei Qiang came out of the bedroom, he saw his eldest sister crying even harder, and he felt like a sinner of the Wei family.
His parents' preferential treatment of him had long made him feel pressured.
"Sister Juan, I feel uncomfortable when I mention this.
If I had some education, I wouldn't be like this now. I might have gone out to explore the world like my youngest sister did.
Because I can’t read or write, I’m blind when I go out, so I’ve lived in the mountains all my life.”
The atmosphere in the Wei family became even more awkward. The old couple's faces were like a palette, changing from red to white.
The eldest daughter had never expressed any dissatisfaction in front of them and had always been very obedient. After getting married, she would return to the Wei family from time to time.
They never knew that the eldest daughter also had complaints.
"Sister, why are you crying? What's there to cry about?" Younger sister Wei Xiang stuffed the phone into her pocket, walked over and patted her sister on the back.
"At least your elder brother-in-law treats you well, much better than your second sister. You should train your daughter well in the future."
After being comforted, the eldest sister stopped crying immediately. Thinking of her lovely daughter and "caring" husband, her mood immediately improved a lot.
"I'm not bragging, your eldest niece is definitely the second Juanmei, her grades are amazing, I will support her to go to college even if I have to sell everything I have."
"That's right, don't be sad, ah!"
Wei's parents looked even more strange, and it seemed like they couldn't continue talking.
But Bai Chen hadn't finished speaking yet, and of course he didn't care whether they looked good or not, and continued: "Sons are treasures, and daughters are weeds.
This is your truest thought.
If you don't want to add more responsibilities to your son, you can just add more burdens to your daughter, right
At that time, I didn't plan to spend your money to go to college. Instead, I planned to take out a loan and pay it back myself when I graduated and got a job. I just asked you to act as a guarantee.
But what did you say
You are worried that I will ask you to pay back the money I borrowed. That is too risky. Going to college costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is not a small amount of money.
So, without even giving it a second thought, you just rejected it with a heartless heart.
Now look what you have done, you dare not take responsibility for it and you blame me for making this matter public.
By speaking out about this incident, perhaps it can help prevent similar tragedies from happening again.
Now, people from the county have come and the effect is very good.”
Wei's parents: ...
"You were so cold and ruthless back then. I always feel resentful every time I think of you all these years, so I can't forgive you."
Wei's father and mother were so angry at Bai Chen's words that their faces turned red, but they couldn't find any words to refute. They just kept repeating the words "unfilial daughter".
Wei Qiang could only close his eyes in pain. It seemed that the family’s hope of reconciliation was very slim!
"Yes! I am an unfilial daughter. You guys said back then that a daughter who is married off is like spilled water.
My daughter belongs to someone else, and you can't possibly benefit from my help.
Now, seeing that my life is getting better, you come to pressure me with filial piety again.
It's already difficult for me as a woman with a child.
But all you want is not to burden your brother, but to burden me. Do you really think I am a pushover? "
"You, aren't you an actor now?" Wei's mother rolled her eyes angrily, "I heard that you can make a lot of money by filming a movie.
How much can the two of us eat?"
"I'm not an actor, you're mistaken."
"You're not an actor, why are you acting in a movie?"
"That was just a temporary job, just for this one time, so don't think I've become successful."
"Find it at the last minute?" Mother Wei didn't believe it at all.
"Even if I do become successful, I will not take on the full responsibility of supporting you.
Because I am like a child abandoned by you."
"Sister, I told you back then that our parents would never be able to support you to go to college, but you still didn't believe it.
Alas! What a pity for my sister's talent!
They are content with having a son.
When things are going wrong, I think of my daughter, and when things are going right, I think of my son." My younger sister also joined the crusade.
"Xiangzi" Wei's mother was so angry that she slapped Wei Xiang directly on the head, "You ungrateful thing, why are you making such noise!
You have bought several houses in Haicheng and become a rich woman, but why don’t you think about helping your brother a little
Your brother hasn't even found a wife yet, and you don't even help him find one.
He has been good enough to you.”
Wei Qiang was now completely speechless. He begged his mother to stop saying such things, as it would definitely attract hatred!
No! I can’t stand it!
Wei Qiang now wishes she were a girl so that she would not be favored by her parents.
The little sister didn't seem to be angry after being slapped. She was just skinned anyway, so she leaned towards Bai Chen.
"The eldest brother is like a father, how can a sister help her brother to arrange a marriage, are you guys getting it wrong
I still haven't found a place to stay, who has arranged it for me?"
"You don't have a boyfriend? You're too picky." Wei's mother was furious. "As a girl, you run around everywhere all day long. Which decent man would want you?"
