Chapter 143 The Hardworking Eldest Daughter 2
It is said that when a tree grows big, it branches out; when a son grows up, he or she branches out. The villagers didn't think much of it. Every family was like this. The old couple in the Wen family were considered kind. If they wanted to take advantage of the situation, they would just let their other sons leave the house with nothing.
No matter what, Old Wen still has a big tiled house. There are only a few people in the village who can afford it. Only with Old Wen's good craftsmanship can he accumulate such a rich fortune. In the future, Old Wen will have his own little home.
It's a pity that they gave birth to two girls. If his wife doesn't get pregnant, this Wen Lao Er will have no roots~
The couple heard and saw the villagers' ridicule. At first, they also wanted to have a third child, but somehow, the more they wanted something, the less they got it. They struggled for several years, but still nothing happened.
A rootless man cannot hold his head up in the village. The original owner's father became more and more silent, and the original owner's mother cried all day long, saying that she was useless.
The original owner grew up in these tears.
The little girl was young and felt sorry for her mother, so she worked even harder at doing the housework.
When the couple was focusing on the third child, the second child's younger sister fell on the little original owner. You know, the original owner was only one year older than her younger sister.
When I was still a little kid, I was busy washing diapers and coaxing my younger sister.
When he grew up a little, the stove was given directly to the original owner, who was also responsible for all the family's clothes and housework.
Whenever she saw her mother smiling at her, the silly girl felt happy.
But as the original owner grew up little by little, he finally realized that something was wrong.
Why can other children in the village go to school but she can't? Why doesn't her younger sister have to do housework and eat sweet cakes? Why do parents seem to like her younger sister more...
Perhaps people love their youngest child, so the couple regarded the youngest as the apple of their eye ever since they gave up the idea of having a third child. The youngest did not disappoint them, growing up in love and having a clever mouth. Every time he called "Daddy and Mommy" sweetly, he made the couple smile.
As for the original owner, the neglect of her parents and the endless housework made her more and more taciturn.
This made the couple look down on this big girl even more. She was so skinny and not as likable as their Xin'er. As for her mouth, she was often so open that she couldn't even fart. She would only respond when she was asked to do some work.
How could the couple not know that their child was old enough to go to school? They had heard the gossip from the villagers, saying that the couple were crazy. They had the same money-losing child, but they had led her astray to this point. They didn't let the eldest girl go to school and just wanted to keep her at home doing housework. Anyone with eyes would know what was going on just by looking at the two sisters.
But the two of them turned a deaf ear to all these. After being called a family without a son for so many years, they seemed to have given up hope.
They are worried about their youngest daughter, what does it have to do with these people? Going to school? It's easy to say, it doesn't cost money, who will do the housework? It's really a waste of time.
The turning point happened when their precious youngest daughter reached school age. If the younger sisters had gone to school and the older girl was still left at home, the villagers might have made up some unpleasant gossip about her.
The couple discussed it and decided to work hard for a few years to shut up those gossipy women in the village.
Things turned out just as they had expected. The two sisters went to school at the same time, which instantly silenced everyone in the village.
You see, they treat them equally. They didn't let the elder girl go to school before because they wanted the two sisters to be together so that they could take care of each other.
If things develop in this way, it would be good, at least the original owner can go to school.
The original owner also cherished this opportunity to go to school. Although the little girl was young, she knew in her heart that she was benefiting from her younger sister.
As a result, she loved her younger sister even more. After coming home from school, her younger sister would still hug her parents and act coquettishly, while she would silently concentrate on doing housework, taking care of the family.
But the good times didn’t last long. The few years the couple had promised meant exactly that. After only three years, the original owner was no longer allowed to go to school.
At that moment, the original owner burst into tears out of grievance. Why could her sister go to school but she couldn't? Her grades were obviously better than her sister's, and she did more housework than her sister.
But she cried, and the original owner's mother cried even harder than her. The faucet came on as soon as it was said, and she kept saying that she was useless as a mother, and that the family couldn't afford to send two children to school. She was the older sister...
The original owner understood what was going to happen next. She had heard it since she was a child. Because she was the older sister, she had to give in to her younger sister.
Looking at his mother's tears, the original owner finally swallowed all his grievances.
As for the couple, they told everyone they met that the eldest girl was making a fuss and didn't want to go to school. They, as her parents, had sent her to school, but there was nothing they could do if the child didn't live up to her expectations.
Then, as soon as she entered the door, she told the original owner that only girls can find a good husband if they are diligent, and what is the point of studying? Can you find a good husband? In the future, they all rely on her, the eldest daughter.
Although the original owner felt that there was something wrong with what he said, he was ultimately narrow-minded, and faced with his mother's tearful attack, he completely compromised.
From then on, the original owner really became the workhorse of the family, doing housework when he was young and working in the fields to earn work points when he grew up.
Whenever the original owner saw her sister wearing all kinds of beautiful clothes, she would feel jealous and envious.
But as long as the original owner had this idea, her mother would notice it immediately, and then pull her to wipe her tears, saying that someone as diligent as her would be a good candidate for a daughter-in-law, and her sister was of no use because she knew nothing. She could only cover up her appearance more, otherwise her sister would never be able to get married in the future.
After all, she was her own sister, whom she had raised with great difficulty. When the original owner heard that her sister would not be able to get married, she felt so sorry that she no longer cared about any envy or jealousy.
But is this really the case? The original owner believed in her mother's words and worked diligently to take care of the family.
Until she was twenty-two years old, almost becoming an old maid, there were people who came to propose marriage to her, but they were all sent away by the couple because they only offered a betrothal gift of one or two yuan, which they did not like.
After all, she is such a big girl, it is impossible for her to be sold for such a small amount even if she is sold by weight.
Everyone knew the couple's little tricks, so those who came here just spat at them when they left.
Everyone in the village knows this old workhorse of a family. If it weren't for the girl's ability, they wouldn't be interested in her. Her dry body looks difficult to bear children, and if they marry her, they're afraid their family will become extinct.
The reason the couple told the original owner was that those families were not good, and they wanted to choose a good family for her.
The original owner foolishly believed it again.
Well, the good family came soon.
He is an old bachelor in his thirties in the village, and he has a stepmother at home.
The mother and son's reputation in the village is hard to describe.
