Chapter 21

Si Cheng covered his face silently without saying a word. He broke free from Si’s mother’s hand and walked forward with his head down.

Mother Si realized that she shouldn’t have slapped her daughter in the street, but she quickly made amends for herself.

She took action because Si Cheng said something wrong.

She is a mother and she is always right in educating her children.

The farce ended with Si’s mother venting her anger.

When Grandma Si found out, she shook her head helplessly.

She no longer had any expectations for her eldest daughter-in-law.

He does things without any rules or calculations, does whatever he wants, is petty, has no tolerance for others, does things without considering the whole process and does not care about other people’s feelings. He is very willful and paranoid.

When Si Cheng was young, even Si Cheng couldn’t be accommodated.

She felt that Si Cheng’s existence deprived her of the opportunity to be intimate with Si Wentao. If Si Cheng dared to pester her father, he would beat her up the moment he turned around.

Even though Si Cheng is less than one year old.

Grandma Si has seen it several times at home.

He also particularly enjoys the feeling of being able to control Si Cheng and make him cry.

After giving birth to Si An, when Si Cheng was having fun by himself, Si’s mother would call Si Cheng over. A two-year-old child would definitely look for his mother.

When Si Cheng pestered her, Si’s mother would slap Si Cheng twice and scold her for being ignorant and not competing for favor with her younger brother.

After being beaten several times, Si Cheng learned her lesson and would not go when her mother called her.

Si’s mother would tease her with food. If she rushed over to suck milk like her brother, she would be slapped twice. She would not stop until Si Cheng cried.

It is particularly pathological. She thinks that Si Cheng is her possession. She wants to control Si Cheng’s happiness and anger, dominate her little world, and satisfy her sense of superiority.

Later, Grandma Si couldn’t bear it anymore and took Si Cheng over to take care of him herself.

Grandma Si also heard Si’s mother teasing Si Cheng in private, saying that she took her brother to the city because she and Si’s father loved her brother but not her, so she was forced to stay in the countryside with her grandmother. Anyway, she had a good relationship with her grandmother.

After Si An went to the city, every time his mother came back, she would tell him about the fun places she had taken Si An to and the delicious food she had eaten.

She would even deliberately say when she came back that she had brought food for Si Cheng, but his brother was naughty and ate it on the way, so there was no share for her. As the older sister, she couldn’t compete with her younger brother for snacks, so she politely declined.

At first, Si Cheng would cry, make a fuss, and scream hysterically. When her mother saw her like this, she would giggle happily.

Then he took the crying Si Cheng to find Si’s father and complained that she was ignorant and was fighting with her younger brother for a bite of food.

Si Cheng was still a child at that time, and of course she could not justify what her mother did to her. She lost her mind and got angry at her father indiscriminately.

Si’s father would believe it and beat Si Cheng.

Si’s mother was cheering on the side, saying that it was a good thing to beat her. If she hadn’t been educated well when she was a child, she would definitely be disobedient and unfilial, unwilling to study, and become a useless person in the future.

Si Cheng was also stubborn when she was young. In order to attract her parents’ attention, she would go against them more and more, which resulted in even harsher punishments.

Gradually, Si Cheng stopped crying or making a fuss, stopped fighting or competing, and no longer expected her parents to come back to see her. But she became more and more silent, and liked to sit on the stone steps at the door of her house more and more, with empty eyes and not liking to communicate with others.

At one point, people thought that she had a low IQ.

She couldn’t get into the town’s middle school, but she did.

She told this to her son, but he still didn’t believe that his mother would do such a thing.

If Si’s mother had not come home when she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and knowing her personality, Grandma Si would not have allowed her in. ,

Marry a virtuous woman.

If you marry a daughter-in-law like Si Mu, three generations of your family will have trouble living in peace.

She only hoped that her son could control his temper, that their family could live a good life, and that her granddaughter could successfully enter university, escape from her mother’s control, leave this home, marry far away, and never be burdened by this family again.

Grandma was downstairs, helping Si Lin with the work within his ability.

Si’s father promised to give her one hundred yuan a month.

Si’s mother was very dissatisfied with this.

She felt that her third aunt’s parents-in-law worked for her family but didn’t give them a penny. Grandpa Si had a salary and had to provide for the food and drink of the two elders and Si Lin, so why should they give Grandma Si a hundred yuan?

Mr. Si did not give it to her privately, and he explained the matter to Mrs. Si.

Grandma Si lives in the countryside, farming, raising chickens and ducks, and selling eggs, and she can save one or two thousand yuan a year.

It doesn’t make sense. After Grandma Si came to the city, she couldn’t save a penny.

Besides, if I don’t give money to Grandma Si, Uncle Si will also be dissatisfied.

Although Grandpa Si has a pension, Grandma Si does not. When she gets older and has no money, she will feel uneasy. Even if she gets sick or old and can’t move, he still has to pay. He just gives the future money to Grandma Si in advance.

Only then did Si’s mother accept this condition.

After Si’s mother came back, she went up to the third floor and never came down again.

When Father Si saw her situation, he knew that she had not gotten any good results from her third sister-in-law.

“Humph, I’ve long told you that your third sister-in-law has no good intentions and told you not to believe anything she said, but you refused to listen. Now look what happened.”

“You are good at talking about my family, why don’t you talk about your second and third sisters? Your third sister learned those dishes from Si Cheng, and we have too much business to handle, so we introduced some to her. What did she say? The two sisters came to our house for dinner today, and they both had sullen faces. It seems that they can’t stand Si Cheng’s academic performance. It’s because your nephews and nieces are all stupid and don’t know anything about studying.”

Father Si clenched his fist and really wanted to slap him.

In the end, he held back.

He smiled and said, “Okay, you are the best, you are the strongest. The daughter you gave birth to is the best student. The man you married is the most profitable. The building you live in is the largest. In the future, the commercial housing you live in will definitely be the most luxurious…”

After saying that, Father Si turned over and went to sleep.

In the last two months, I made as much money as I did in the past year.

Making money is real.

But he was tired, that was true.

His daughter’s test results were the happiest thing for him in the two months since he bought the house, even happier than buying the self-built house.

Si’s mother was unhappy, but after scolding her third sister-in-law and beating Si Cheng, her anger had mostly subsided. She began to feel sorry for her husband’s tiredness, so she took off her clothes and fell asleep beside him.

Si Cheng had good grades, and her family hired people to do the work. Grandpa Si and Fourth Grandma could also help with some odd jobs, so she had a lot more freedom in how to arrange her own time.

In the afternoon, she told her grandmother that she was going out to play and would be back before setting up the stall. Her grandmother asked her to come back on time without even asking her where she was going.

Of course Si Cheng went straight to the Internet cafe, but unfortunately it was crowded and Si Cheng couldn’t get a seat, so she had to go to a rental bookstore to read books in frustration.

Si’s father and mother would never allow her to buy those types of books in the rental bookstore.

Si Cheng went to read it, mainly to check out the latest popular novel themes, the manuscript acceptance directions of major publishing houses, and to read various magazines.
