The Female Lead Decides to Act Wickedly

Chapter 239: Chapter 125: Mother Who Favors Sons Over Daughters (12)

Zhao Xiaoya was secretly seething inside, but she couldn’t help holding on to a sliver of hope for her real dad.

Yet, when she followed her real mom back to the once-familiar home, she couldn’t find a trace of familiarity.

”Who are you? Why are you in my house?”

He Tiantian saw the busy little widow in the yard without any surprise.

However, she still had to act shocked and angry.

If it weren’t for holding one in her arms and leading another by the hand, she probably would have charged over and grabbed the little widow by the hair.

”...” The little widow was also somewhat surprised to see He Tiantian and her daughters.

However, although it was unexpected, she had long anticipated that this day might come.

The little widow didn’t start arguing with He Tiantian right away, instead, she turned and signaled to a little boy about four or five years old with a glance.

The little boy thudded away quickly.

Before long, Zhao Baozhu’s parents, siblings, and relatives all rushed over in a crowd.

Zhao Baozhu himself also ran over, panting, still holding that little boy in his arms.

”He Xiaotian, you’re not allowed to bully Xiao Fang!”

Approaching the doorway, he indeed saw the gaunt figure of ”He Xiaotian.”

Zhao Baozhu hadn’t grasped the situation yet, but he instinctively blurted out.

”I bullied her? When have I ever bullied her?”

”And, Zhao Baozhu, what, what exactly is going on here?”

”Who is this woman, and why is she staying at our place?”

He Tiantian was both aggrieved and annoyed, firing off a barrage of questions like a machine gun.

”He Xiaotian, you say you haven’t bullied anyone? Just look at yourself, you seem like you’re about to devour someone!”

”That’s right, He Xiaotian. I’m not one to speak, but you ran off yourself, now that you can’t make it out there, you run back to our Jiabao. What do you think Jiabao is?”

”Exactly. You left, so you should never have come back. Jiabao finally found a good woman and settled into a stable life, and yet you still come back to cause trouble?”

It wasn’t Zhao Baozhu who spoke this time, but his parents and relatives.

These people had already disliked the splashy He Xiaotian, and now that they had the opportunity, they certainly weren’t going to let it slip.

Before marrying He Xiaotian, Zhao Baozhu had been the most honest son (or brother) in the family, but ever since this splashy He Xiaotian had entered the door.

Be it the parents or siblings, trying to order Zhao Baozhu to do a little something, or to ”borrow” some money and things from their household, all would end with He Xiaotian chasing them down the street with curses.

After a few incidents, He Xiaotian ruined the Zhao Family’s good name.

And the feelings among parents and siblings, she also mixed them up until nothing was left.

The Zhao family’s parents and siblings certainly didn’t feel they were too overbearing; they just blamed He Xiaotian for being an unruly, undutiful disruptor of family peace.

And the kind that couldn’t lay golden eggs at that.

Now, He Xiaotian had ”run away,” and Zhao Baozhu had found a good-tempered little widow, during this time, his relationship with his parents and siblings seemed to have returned to the old days.

With the return of an honest and obedient son (or brother), the Zhao family people were naturally willing to maintain this status quo.

The splashy He Xiaotian might as well hurry up and leave!

”What do you mean I ran away? I went to find Daniu!” He Tiantian shouted in fake desperation.

”Daniu? Where is she? Why didn’t she come back with you?” Zhao Baozhu’s real mother had never liked Zhao Dan.

But at that moment, she acted like a loving grandmother who was heartbroken over her granddaughter.

This old lady was indeed heartbroken, but not for Zhao Dan herself; she was lamenting the dowry that their family missed out on!

She was already a fifteen-year-old maiden, just old enough to be betrothed.

Although Daniu had a mother who couldn’t bear sons, she was capable and obedient, and asking for a dowry of two thousand yuan wasn’t excessive, was it?!

But now, a perfectly good young woman was sold off by the ”He Xiaotian” splashy woman.

Causing the Zhao Family to miss out on a portion of the dowry, would anyone in the Zhao Family be happy?

Especially Eldest Uncle Zhao, they had taken on a heap of debt for their son’s marriage.

Three thousand yuan wasn’t nearly enough, but it could have eased their burden a little.

”Daniu is in Provincial City. I found her a job. A clothing factory in the Provincial City, she can earn more than a thousand yuan a month!”

He Tiantian was telling the absolute truth, but her forthright words weren’t believed by anyone in the Zhao Family.

”Ptui! You must be daydreaming, talking nonsense!”

”That’s right, that’s right. A clothing factory in the Provincial City, Daniu only went to primary school for two years, she can only write her own name, going to Provincial City, all she could manage would be to tell the men’s and women’s toilets apart, how could she, of all people, get a job in a factory?”
