The neighbors got more and more agitated, Wang Ying lost her mind in anger, "Gu Nianyang, you little bastard! What if I abuse you? How dare you say I’m biased towards your sister.
You can’t even see yourself in a mirror, your sister is better looking than you, her grades are a hundred times better than yours, she’ll go to a good university and bring glory to the Gu Family.
What are you worth? Dumb as a pig, you never pass exams, how do you have the face to keep studying? If I had known you were so useless, I should’ve drowned you in the urine bucket at birth!
When I gave birth to you, I almost lost my life due to complications. If you were a son, that would’ve been great, but no, you ended up being a worthless girl, causing me to spend extra money during the postpartum period, even selling the family’s land, what a waste to give birth to you, better off having a dog!"
Gu Yuandao saw Wang Ying reveal her true colors, making the neighbors detest their family even more, and angrily shouted, "Enough, shut your mouth, aren’t you making enough of a spectacle?"
"You, Old Gu, you’re yelling at me, do you know how hard I’ve worked for this family..." Wang Ying glared at Gu Yuandao indignantly and ran off in anger.
Gu Yuandao awkwardly addressed the crowd, "Sorry everyone, for making you laugh."
The people waved their hands, "Uncle Gu, you should pay attention next time, both daughters are precious, you can’t let your second girl suffer!"
At this age, still having to listen to criticisms, Gu Yuandao’s face instantly turned the shade of liver stew, trying to save face, but could only say submissively, "Yes, yes, of course, my wife is just confused, I will discipline her well, from now on treat both daughters equally."
"Aunties and uncles, thank you for speaking up for me, but my dad is usually busy, he doesn’t know about my mom abusing me." Nianyang said this not to absolve Gu Yuandao, but because she still had to live in the Gu Family for some time, couldn’t completely offend Gu Yuandao.
Gu Yuandao was already prepared for being talked about behind his back in the future, but didn’t expect his youngest daughter to explain for him, and felt a bit less resentment towards her.
Nianyang, "But dad, you said you’ll treat me and sister equally from now on, does that mean I can get enough to eat like my sister, don’t have to wear her hand-me-downs, and can have new clothes too?"
The neighbors then noticed that Nianyang had been wearing washed-out school uniforms year after year, or clothes Gu Youlan had worn, while Gu Youlan frequently wore new clothes.
Moreover, when the two sisters stood together, Gu Youlan wore a pretty, fashionable plaid skirt, her skin was fair, her figure plump, looking radiant, while Nianyang was thin and sallow, like a stick, pitifully hard to look at.
Gu Youlan noticed the neighbors looking at her with sympathy for Nianyang, her delicate face stiffened for a moment, thinking since when had she become disliked because of Nianyang, though feeling guilty inside, she outwardly spoke understandingly, "Yangyang, if you like, you can wear any new dress from my wardrobe!"
Nianyang looked excited, "Really sis? Then can I eat meat when you do? Can I use the snow cream and pretty hair ties mom bought for you?"
"What silly things you’re saying, you’re my real sister, of course, you can use them, before sister was wrong, didn’t take account of you, from now on sister will surely treat you well!" Gu Youlan said gently, but inside she felt like bleeding, such a selfish person as she was, how could she bear to give away her things to the sister she always treated as a slave.
Gu Yuandao also said what fit the moment, "Yangyang, dad will make sure, from now on whatever your sister has, you’ll have too!"
"Thank you, dad, thank you, sister." Nianyang jumped for joy like a child who got candy, seeing this made the neighbors’ hearts ache, this silly girl, those things she should’ve received by rights, and yet she could be happy like this!
Seeing Nianyang’s smiling look, Gu Youlan secretly resented, how did things turn out this way? Wasn’t it supposed to be Gu Nianyang dropping out successfully to serve the whole family, and then all the family’s money for her university?
How did it turn into sharing everything in the family from now on?
Gu Nianyang, this dumb pig, how does she deserve the same treatment?
