Reborn as a Weak Beauty Pampered by All

Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Am I someone you picked up?

”But if life here was easy, would I deceive you into sending me money? Anyway, did you think I’d willingly curse my own body and your grandson’s health? Besides... besides, if it weren’t for your favoritism, would I even be here?”

With a clear slap mark on her left cheek and swollen red eyes from severe crying, Su Qing fearlessly faced Mother Su’s anger and said without much emotion:

”It was my own marriage matter, my match with Comrade Wen. Unexpectedly, Su Man stole it from me. What did you say about me back then? You said I was the one who didn’t want to marry Comrade Wen... Was it me who didn’t want to? I was just a bit emotional, and you didn’t make Comrade Wen’s personal situation clear to me, allowing Su Man to take advantage and claim my match as her own, forcing me to go to the countryside. Have you ever stood up for the injustice I suffered?”

Su Qing hadn’t expected Mother Su to come to the Northwest, much less that she came not to visit her but to doubt her, to check if she was deceiving the family for money.

And upon meeting... Seeing that she and her child were well, she immediately slapped her, demanding her to hand over the money sent from home, without any consideration for the circumstances, without leaving her any dignity, just like a shrewish villager, berating her as heartless, a white-eyed wolf, black-hearted.

She didn’t consider how those curses would make Su Qing feel!

She didn’t care about her feelings at all!

Holding back the tears welling up in her eyes, Su Qing said word by word, ”I’m not good with words, can’t say things that please you. I’ve never been liked by you as much as Su Man since we were young, but no matter what, I’m also your daughter, born to you. Why can’t I receive your love?

My brother and Su Tao are boys, and you and my dad spoil them. I can bear that, but why should Su Man, just because she can make you happy, make me suffer in everything?”

Mother Su was hit by a barrage of questions from Su Qing, her heart complicated. She didn’t want to admit her lack of fairness in dealing with her two daughters, didn’t want to admit that she indeed favored her younger daughter in the past. Still, she countered with, ”Every one of the ten fingers is a different length. Your sister is younger than you; I dote on her a bit more, what’s wrong with that?”

”What did I do wrong to deserve your unfair treatment?”

Su Qing asked, choking up.

”How have I wronged you? Haven’t I provided you with food, clothes, and schooling?”

”Su Man is only a year younger than I, and I wasn’t as physically developed as her, so we’ve always worn the same size clothes, which was fine. But every time you bought us clothes, it was Su Man who got to choose first, and I was left with whatever she didn’t want. When we had snacks at home, setting aside my brother and Su Tao for now,

you would let Su Man help herself whenever she wanted, but when it came to me, you’d say, ’Snacks are bad for your health’ and wouldn’t even let me touch one. The thing is, how many snacks have I eaten? None—I’ve hardly had any snacks. I just often saw my brother, Su Tao, and Su Man eating snacks...”

Mother Su interrupted, ”Enough, these are trivial old issues. Why bring them up now? Hurry up and give me the money; Taotao and I still have to catch the train.”

”I must be a child you picked up, right?” Su Qing blurted out unexpectedly, which made Mother Su so angry she clenched her teeth: ”Ungrateful, the lot of you. Is it possible I owed you something in a past life, for you to hurt me with such curse-like words?”

Su Qing’s emotions were not swayed by Mother Su’s words: ”If I’m not picked up, why do you treat me differently?”
