Su Wen felt her worldview shatter upon hearing the revelation. “Big sister is right; it is indeed very vicious,” Su Qing remarked coldly. “The man Liu Juan married was our mother’s boyfriend in the Province before she was demoted. Our mother never knew about this. When she was pregnant with the little sister, she discovered the betrayal, leading to a difficult childbirth. Since our mother’s passing, Father’s health has been deteriorating steadily…” Su Qing said.
The revelation shook Su Wen, she was shocked and angry. “Damn it, if I knew this would happen, I would have hit Liu Juan hard,” she seethed, her fists clenched in fury.
“They are biological sisters,” Su Qing whispered, wiping away tears with determination in her eyes. “So, Big sister, we have to be good sisters for life.”
“Yes! Don’t be sad. It’s all in the past,” Su Wen consoled Su Qing, though her heart burned with a desire for revenge. “Since the two families have severed ties, we won’t have any contact in the future.” Despite her words, Su Wen was not the kind to back down from a fight.
She couldn’t accept the indignity, especially when she thought of the reason behind her sisters’ parents’ untimely deaths and their subsequent struggles. Now that she had transmigrated into this world, the enemies of the Su family were her enemies too.
Zhang Chunxiang returned home in a fit of rage. Upon seeing Su Pingping, she unleashed her anger. “Where’s your Father? Where did he go? Was he seduced by that shameless woman again?
“I… I don’t know,” Su Pingping stammered, fear evident in her eyes. She had lost weight since the last incident, and the tension at home was obvious. Su
Xuewu and Zhang Chunxiang’s constant arguments left the family in disarray. Su Pingfan had given up on his studies. Besides asking his family for money, he was utterly useless, unable to contribute to his family. The family’s financial situation worsened when Su Xuewu lost his job.
Su Pingfan, who was once praised by everyone as a promising young man, had now become a delinquent everyone avoided mentioning. No matchmaker would consider him. The girls Zhang Chunxiang disregarded were rejecting Su Pingfan now.
Su Xuewu was caught in bed by his own younger brother, faced public humiliation, and lost his job as the village accountant. The family’s primary source of income was severed.
The meat was a luxury they could no longer afford, and Niuniu had started eating at her grandparents’ house.
Although Zhang Chunxiang’s harsh words filled the air, only Su Pingping bore the brunt of her frustration. She endured the scolding, silently crying herself to sleep at night. Secretly, she envied Su Qing, her cousin, who was treated with kindness by Su Wen, her elder sister.
“Why don’t you know anything?” Zhang Chunxiang’s voice was sharp, dripping with disdain. “You are useless, you just keep eating. You’re slower than everyone else in the fields. What use do I have for you if I have to feed you?” “I…” Su Pingping felt the injustice keenly but dared not speak up.
She couldn’t afford to provoke Zhang Chunxiang further, or she might face even more brutality. However, Su Pingping had learned to be cautious. Sensing an impending storm, she changed the topic swiftly. “What about Su Wen? Did she agree to help everyone to get jobs at the factory in Zhou Hengyang?” She avoided using the term “cousin” at home, fearing it might anger Zhang Chunxiang even more..
