Chapter 19: Robber
Translator: 549690339
This woman, the mother of Sang Zhilan, did indeed look down on Tang Zhinian. He had no parents and only a few acres of land. If her daughter hadn’t been rejected in marriage, how could she possibly marry her off to an unsuccessful man like Tang Zhinian, who had no abilities at all?
Her daughter was destined to live off the state for life, she couldn’t possibly be here, farming the land with him. Her daughter, with that appearance and character, all top-notch, once Zhilan’s life improves, she could help her two younger brothers. With Tang Zhinian, even if he worked himself to death, he couldn’t possibly provide for a university student.
And her eldest grandson excelled in his studies; the teachers even said he was college material. Their family couldn’t afford to send a kid to college. Of course, funding a college student was a burden shared by the whole family. Her niece was receiving state benefits and her monthly income was a few dozen yuan. If she saved this money, it would be enough to cover the tuition for her grandson’s university education.
It was clear that Tang Zhinian was blatantly exploiting her daughter.
Besides, as she squinted her eyes, looking at Tang Yuxin who was led by Tang Zhinian, she looked down on Tang Zhinian and consequently looked down on Tang Yuxin too. She had small eyes and a small nose, clearly taking after her father; she bore no resemblance to her daughter’s good looks. As she grew older, she would be ugly.
As for Tang Yuxin, she also lowered her head, pretending to look at her toes. Her seemingly clear eyes were shrouded in inscrutable coldness.
She smirked. Her sarcasm was palpable.
In her past life, she had seen enough of some people’s faces and knew their characters well.
Every year, when she and Wei Jiani visited Sang Family for the New Year, the grandmother showed extreme affection for Wei Jiani. All the nice food, fun things, and useful items were saved for Wei Jiani. Wei Jiani, pretty and generous, with her sweet mouth, often received a lot of New Year’s money.
As for her, when she was in Tang Family, she had new clothes for the New Year, but when she later moved to Wei Family, she could only wear Wei Jiani’s hand-me-downs. Whether too small, ugly, or ripped apart, and she didn’t even know that Wei Jiani’s new clothes for each New Year were actually bought by Tang Zhinian for his own daughter. Yet, when they eventually got to her, they were all ragged and torn.
“Mom, have you eaten?” Tang Zhinian held his daughter’s little hand tightly and anxiously asked his mother-in-law.
“I wouldn’t dare to eat the food in your house,” the mother of Sang Zhilan replied sarcastically, “You just need to get divorced from my daughter. There’s no love left, why are you still tormenting her?”
“Mom, even if we divorce, I want Yuxin.” Tang Zhinian stroked his daughter’s little head, a flash of sadness in his eyes. Without divorce, Yuxin still has both parents, but with divorce, she would either have no father or no mother. His daughter was still young, and he did not want her to be that pitiful.
Tang Yuxin nestled behind her father, standing close to him.
“Are you implying that our Zhilan would harm her own daughter?” Sang’s mother was uncomfortable upon hearing these words. What did Tang Zhinian mean? Was he afraid that they, the Sang Family, would abuse their own daughter and granddaughter?
“No…” Tang Zhinian hurriedly attempted to explain. He didn’t mean that, he just didn’t want anyone to use this matter to hurt the still young Tang Yuxin.
