Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland - Chapter 1138

Chapter 1138: Chapter 1139 All of This is Mother’s Own Doing Now

Daniu looked at her mother with a sarcastic smile on the corners of her mouth, for she hadn’t expected her mother to say such things.

“What, now that you have a stepfather, you forget to ask how me and my brother have been doing all these years?”

And you don’t ask how dad has managed to survive all these years?

When mom first left, grandma really looked down on us siblings because of the kind of mother we had, but grandpa and grandma always told us to earn our own keep, to strive on our own, yet they still helped.

Whenever she was incredibly tired, she thought of her mother and heard about how her mother was living a good life in town.

While they lived a day-to-day existence.

Such a vast difference.

“My dad is doing fine. Do you need anything else? If not, I’m going to be busy,” Daniu choked up, not allowing herself to express the bitterness she’d felt for so many years. Her first thought was always of her mother, but reality had slapped her across the face; all these years had passed, and though her mother was not far, she hadn’t seen her once.

What does that tell you?

She was an adult now, capable of discerning right from wrong.

It wasn’t about listening to whatever someone said.

Zhao Fang saw her daughter’s demeanor and knew exactly what she was thinking.

“Daniu, it’s not that mom didn’t come to see you, it’s that mom didn’t dare to see you. Mom’s life has been hard; your stepfather treats me very poorly, especially since I gave him a daughter, he detests me even more.”

Daniu told herself she must not soften her heart, she must not.

After all, this was all her mother’s own doing.

“I have things to do.”

She then dropped those words and quickly escaped like fleeing.

Zhao Fang’s brow was deeply furrowed.

She regretted, truly regretted.

Back when Shitou had an accident, she panicked completely, clueless about what to do. Her first thought was that if Shitou was gone, the whole family was done, and she couldn’t support this family alone.

At the time, she also thought that if Shitou could recover quickly like her younger brother-in-law, then she could still endure.

But thinking of the hefty medical expenses, she impulsively agreed to her parents’ coaxing and left Qingzhao Village.

When remarrying, she consoled herself, convinced that she would live better than her siblings-in-law, never expecting her situation to end up as it had.

Karma, karma.

Zhao Fang tasted the bitterness, yet had no place to express it.

Because her mother had already died last year.

Over the years, because of giving birth to a daughter, her mother-in-law never valued her and even held a strong opinion against her, but she was already in her forties and it was impossible for her to have more children.

Who could she rely on now?

Seeing Daniu brought a flash of hope in her eyes.

If she hadn’t left back then, she might even be a grandmother by now.

She heard that the Yun family was now living well.

Yun Hai’s two sons were working in the provincial city.

Yun Shuang’s two daughters were working, one in the provincial city and the other in the county town.

It seemed that a few days earlier Meng Yunhan had driven back to Qingzhao Village, and Meng Yunhan had even started a factory.

As for Yun Men, he was doing business in the provincial city, and these days he was living quite well.

Now the Yun family was thriving, while her own life was getting worse and worse.

Previously Shitou might not have been as considerate as her younger brother-in-law to her siblings-in-law, but at least Shitou had been caring for her, unlike her man now.

She had chosen this path for herself.

She had chosen a path with a visible end in sight.
