Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 1137

Chapter 1137: Chapter 1138 I Don’t Have a Mother Like You

Da Niu spoke with a firm voice, “Yes, I work at this hospital. I don’t know what business you have here.”

Zhao Fang could feel her daughter’s indifference toward her.

“Da Niu, your mother had no choice back then. You need to understand,” Zhao Fang put on a front as if her actions back then were due to desperate circumstances.

Da Niu sneered a few times, “Desperate circumstances? When my uncle had trouble back then, how come my aunt didn’t abandon my uncle and Little Huzi and leave? How come when dad had trouble, you ran away with the money? I do not have a mother like you.”

Yun Lei lay at home, and occasionally Da Niu had thought this way, but whenever the villagers saw her, they would bring up this matter.

“Da Niu, back then your father left behind a sea of debt.”

Da Niu looked at Zhao Fang, thought about her aunt, who hadn’t changed at all over the past decade–it was always her mother–yet in just a few years without seeing her, she had turned somewhat white, but at the same time grown many wrinkles.

“You probably don’t know, but I am able to work at the hospital now because my aunt supported me through technical school. Dad has already gotten back on his feet, and he has earned money. We even have a house in the county town now.”

Zhao Fang had never expected that Meng Yunhan would actually support her daughter through technical school. She had heard that Shitou had gotten back on his feet and had also made some money, but she did not know that they had even bought a house in the county town. Without thousands of yuan, one simply could not buy a house in the county town.

“Da Niu, you haven’t gotten married yet, have you?”

Da Niu scoffed coldly, “I haven’t gotten married. If it weren’t for my aunt, I would have been married off within the village by now. Now I can earn money every month, and my aunt even said that when the time comes for me to get married, she will prepare a decent dowry for me.”

Zhao Fang felt unbearably bitter upon hearing this.

She was stingy, but she was out of favor with Meng Yunhan.

She also knew that Zhang Cuihua had committed suicide by jumping into a river, and that Meng Yunhan had made money and even started a factory. This bit of money was really nothing to Meng Yunhan.

But even if it was just a small amount of money, given what she had done before, Meng Yunhan wouldn’t be generous enough to give her a cent.

“Da Niu, your mother is sorry for you, I am so sorry.”

Da Niu bitterly smiled with a mouth full of bitterness. The late apology was of no use now.

If it hadn’t been for wasting so many years, would she still not be married by now? Would it have been necessary to forego college?

She wanted to get into college in one go, like her aunt, but she hadn’t.

“You haven’t wronged me, and the person you have wronged isn’t me, it’s my dad. That’s right, my dad said that when the time comes, we should find a stepmother to take care of us.”

Zhao Fang thought of the fact that everything Shitou had now was hers, but not for much longer, as a different woman would soon replace her in everything.

“Da Niu, you can’t let your dad marry a stepmother. Once there’s a stepmother, there’ll be a stepfather too.”

Da Niu looked at Zhao Fang, “After all these years, you certainly don’t know what my dad has been through, but I’ve seen it with my own eyes. My dad won’t treat any new wife as a stepmother.”

If that were really the case, by then she would be married, and her brother would be in college, able to rely on his own abilities.

Hadn’t her aunt and uncle relied on their own abilities?

Da Niu believed that with her own hands, she could surely make a good life for herself.

All these years, she had always kept that principle in mind.

“Da Niu, you stubborn girl, you’ll suffer in the future. Your mother is doing this for your own good. You absolutely cannot let your father marry again. Otherwise, everything your father has in the future won’t be yours.”
