Chapter 100: Chapter 100: Sold Her Out Like This_1
Mrs. Yun was feeling a bit of a headache because of her eldest daughter-in-law’s stingy ways.
It has been so many years, yet she is still the same. What on earth did her eldest son see in her back then?
All these years, she had been pinching things from our house and taking them to her mother’s house. Did she really think that I had no idea?
But for the sake of her eldest son and grandson, she decided not to fuss about it.
This time, did she really tell Erniu that she is her sister?
Mrs. Yun normally has a very good temper, but if anyone vexes her, her temper flares.
“Regardless of what happens, Mom always loves you,” Mrs. Yun comforted Yunhan.
Yunhan also realized that at such a young age, Erniu already knew how to read people’s faces. She flashed a broad smile and asked, “Erniu, are you hungry?”
Erniu touched her belly shyly and said timidly, “Auntie, do you have any cake? The one that grandma brought last time. I want to eat it. At home, Mom won’t let me eat it, saying it’s for my brother to grow taller.”
Mrs. Yun’s simmering anger, which she had been keeping in check, now ignited like a fuse.
This daughter-in-law of hers clearly values boys over girls; she wouldn’t let such a young child eat, but allowed two adults to eat instead.
Yunhan was somewhat surprised, but also found it somewhat amusing.
It’s clear that the eldest sister-in-law brought the children here to take advantage. If she knew that Erniu had sold her out like this, it would probably make her sick with anger.
Having said that, seeing that her eldest brother loves Erniu so much and the eldest sister-in-law treats Erniu well too, why would she show such disdain?
“Mom, I’ll take Erniu to get some snacks first,” said Yunhan, fearing that the child would get scared later. She took Erniu back to her room.
She had some snacks prepared. Her mother-in-law had also given her some to store in her room, telling her to eat whenever she was hungry and not to starve herself.
Watching them leave, Mrs. Yun felt increasingly unhappy with her eldest daughter-in-law.
To put it crudely, Erniu, after all, is a piece of her flesh and blood. How can she not cherish her?
Mrs. Yun went out with her basket on her back.
“Auntie, did Grandma get angry?” Erniu asked Yunhan quietly, even forgetting to eat the rice candy in her hand and just holding it.
“No, go ahead and eat!” Yunhan touched Erniu’s greasy hair, deciding that she would boil some hot water for her to wash it later.
Erniu nibbled on the rice candy with small bites, enjoying both its sweetness and crispness.
“Erniu, do you usually play alone at home?”
Curious, Yunhan asked, since during the busy farming season, many people had to go to work. As for her eldest sister-in-law, she would certainly not stop working. So, was Erniu being looked after by her older brothers or did she play alone?
Back when she was at school, Erniu had been taken to the school by her two older brothers. But this year, she had not gone to school. So, who was looking after Erniu?
“I go to school with my brothers. Sometimes, I play with Xiaoming,” Erniu lisped.
Yunhan could understand. Childhood during that time was like this. Unlike in future years when every family would only have one child who is treated like a treasure. During this time, being able to feed the children till they are full and dress them warmly was already the greatest satisfaction for parents.
So she didn’t say anything.
“Auntie, can I have another piece?” Little Erniu not only finished eating but was also ready to lick her hand. Yunhan stopped her before she could continue this action.
