Chapter 1675 I Am A Jerk
- “What about me? You unfilial daughter, I'm your mother! What have you done since you got back? All you do is lecture your brother. Are you not even going to listen to me now? It's true what they say about marrying one's daughter off when she's of age. Zhu Dachang is the village head's son, so how could he not be a good match for you? Tell me. Do you really think of yourself as the daughter of a rich family after going off to study for a few years? Parents are the ones who choose their child's marriage partner, so what I say goes. You have to marry Zhu Dachang. After your return this time, you should stay here. Get ready for your marriage to Dachang and give the Zhu family a healthy grandchild to carry on the family line. Both our families will be in-laws in the future, and your brother and I will also be able to bask in reflected glory,” Yang Guihua said, having made up her mind.
- “How can you do this, Mom? Whatever it is, I won't do it!”
- Tears fell from Mu Xinlan's eyes. I devoted myself to this family, yet they broke my heart into a million pieces after my return. They stood idly by while Dad was unwell and even allowed an outsider to pay for his treatment. How utterly despicable! And in the end, they even sold me off. Parents are the ones who choose their child's marriage partner, she says. But isn't that just an arranged marriage? Nowadays, everyone has the choice to choose who they love. Who'd be willing to be stuck in this poor and remote village for the rest of their lives, unable to leave? No one can understand my grievances. Because of my brother, Mom has long lost all affection for Dad and me. Dad is now powerless, and Mom has long washed her hands of him. As for me, I'm her daughter, and a married daughter is no longer family. Hence, she'd loathe spending a single dime on me. Instead, she wants to exploit me and drain every last drop of use out of me. And her way of doing that is to betroth me to Zhu Dachang, the village head's son.
