Chapter 718: Chapter 718 Wang Dongmei’s Provocation
Mrs. Wang still thought Wang Yuemei was the same quiet daughter who used to lower her head and work diligently. Upon hearing her eldest daughter say that the youngest was considerate, she decided to call for her, thinking that Yuemei might come to take care of things.
But it was Wang Dongmei who had returned alone, and upon her return, she even stirred the pot a bit.
"Now she thinks that since she is married, her wings are hardened."
Wang Dongmei continued to rub salt in the wound, "Mom, the youngest sister still resents you guys, blaming you for not preparing any dowry for her on her wedding day, which made her unable to hold her head high in her in-laws’ house. She even said that your fall was your own fault."
Mrs. Wang was initially filled with guilt by what Wang Dongmei had said earlier, but that guilt disappeared without a trace when she heard the rest, and she cursed immediately, "That cursed girl, if I hadn’t stopped him, your dad didn’t even want to keep her. She’s still bearing a grudge after all these years; we should have listened to your dad in the first place."
Mr. Wang had indeed thought about giving away his youngest daughter.
After all, he had two sons ahead of her.
Wang Dongmei was third, and after her came two more sons. Having two sons, having a daughter was also okay.
But this youngest daughter was also female, and that caused some dissatisfaction. If it weren’t for the fear of damaging his reputation, and losing face, he really would have given the youngest daughter away.
Moreover, the youngest daughter was not likable.
She thought that a dowry of three hundred was too little.
There was no trousseau because the dowry given was too small.
They all lacked the ability to make the groom’s side give more for the dowry.
Wang Dongmei was slightly surprised when she heard what her mother said.
She even felt fortunate that Wang Yuemei had stayed behind at home; otherwise, all the hardships and grievances Yuemei endured would have become hers.
She felt fortunate once again.
"Mom, you should focus on healing now, and we can talk about other things later. I believe the youngest sister just hasn’t come to terms with it yet; a married woman still relies on her family. Without the support of her natal family, how can she have a good life at her in-laws’?"
While Wang Dongmei said these things to comfort her mother, she didn’t agree with a single word in her heart.
Depending on her elder and second brothers, there was no chance of that.
They would still wish they could squeeze a layer of flesh off their sisters.
Otherwise, why did it take so many years for the two sisters-in-law to start taking turns cooking?
In the past, washing clothes and cooking were her mother and youngest sister’s responsibilities.
Mrs. Wang was still furiously upset.
She thought her youngest daughter was heartless.
If she hadn’t stopped her, the youngest would have run away long ago, not even knowing what kind of life she might have ended up with.
The family didn’t lack food or clothing for her.
Indeed, they didn’t lack food.
She had the worst food in the house, didn’t dare to pick the meat, and could only dip in the meat soup.
As for clothes, she always picked up cast-offs from her sister Wang Dongmei.
If not for Mr. Wang wanting to save face, he wouldn’t have sent Wang Yuemei to school at all.
Mrs. Wang snorted coldly, "I want to see what kind of good life she can have at her in-laws’."
No in-laws would be indifferent about her not bringing anything when getting married.
Her parents-in-law must be grinding her down.
During this time, her husband might be nice to her, but after the novelty wears off, who knows how he will start to resent her.
Wang Dongmei saw that her mother’s eyes were full of resentment toward Wang Yuemei, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.
But she was eager for her mother to pick a fight with Wang Yuemei once her leg got better.
How could one person lead a good life?
She just couldn’t wait.
Unaware of her sister Wang Dongmei’s scheming, Wang Yuemei had asked for leave from the team leader, intending to visit her in-laws’ hometown before the New Year.
"Comrade Wang, I can’t approve such a long leave request," said the team leader.
