Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Zhao Sisi looked at her parents and then at her brother, Zhao Yuanzheng, who was already eating at the dining table.

Her 12-year-old brother ignored her and focused on eating.

At this moment, Zhao Sisi felt a little disappointed.

When did her lively home become like this?

Zhao Sisi glared at Zhao Yuanzheng and shouted angrily, “Zhao Yuanzheng, aren’t you going to greet me?”

Zhao Yuanzheng glanced at Zhao Sisi coldly before continuing to eat.

“What are you doing? Why are you shouting at your brother as soon as you come back? Can’t you see that your brother is eating?” Jin Xiaojing looked at Zhao Sisi with disdain.

“Mother, you’re harming my brother by spoiling him like this!” Zhao Sisi couldn’t help but say.

“There’s no need for you to worry! You’re about to get married, so don’t worry about our matters! As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water that has been splashed out. It’s better for you not to interfere in our matters in the future!” Jin Xiaojing’s cold-hearted words hurt Zhao Sisi’s feelings.

When Zhao Sisi heard this, her heart ached so much that she felt numb to the pain.

Wasn’t the reason she moved in with Grandpa and Grandma because she couldn’t stand her mother’s sarcasm every day?

Thinking of this, Zhao Sisi calmed down and looked at her father, Zhao Long.

“Father, do you think so too?”

Zhao Long looked at his daughter. Although he was a little dissatisfied, he didn’t want to ruin their relationship.

“Sisi, have you eaten yet? Why don’t we eat together?!”

When Zhao Sisi heard this, she could no longer suppress the bitterness in her heart.

“Father, Mother, this is my home. You’re my parents! Since when did I have to be invited to the table by my father?! I know that because of my marriage to Mao Dao, you’re very dissatisfied. You guys have always wanted to use me to cozy up to the rich and powerful and bring you benefits! But why don’t you think about my conditions? In my current state, even if I marry into a rich family, will I really be able to live a comfortable life?”

As soon as she said this, Jin Xiaojing looked annoyed. Even Zhao Long looked indifferent.

Zhao Sisi suddenly felt a little tired and no longer had any desire to speak.

“Father, don’t look for Mao Dao in the future! If you want to do business, think of a way yourself! Since you don’t like Mao Dao, don’t look for him!” Zhao Long’s face turned pale when he heard Zhao Sisi’s words.

“Mao Dao told you?”

When Zhao Sisi saw her father’s expression change, she immediately thought of something. Then, she sneered.

“Father, do you really think what you did was foulproof? Do you think others didn’t see you when you went to look for Mao Dao on the way to the shop? Others saw and heard you, then they told me everything!”

At this point, Zhao Sisi told her everything else.

“I can understand that you want to do business and earn money! Because you’re my parents, I went to look for Xiaoran and asked her to help me come up with an idea to help Mao Dao and me earn a living. Without hesitation, Xiaoran told me a way to earn money! Originally, I wanted to tell you this way to earn money, but from the looks of it, there’s no need for you guys to know!”

When Zhao Long and Jin Xiaojing heard Zhao Sisi’s words, their expressions immediately changed and they became enthusiastic.

“Hey, you should have said so earlier! If you had said so earlier, these things wouldn’t have happened. Come, sit down and eat!” Jin Xiaojing said as she pulled Zhao Sisi to sit down.

How could Zhao Sisi let her mother have her way? She pulled her hand away coldly and took a few steps back.

“There’s no need. Grandpa and Grandma make food every day and wait for me to go back to eat, so I won’t disturb your family’s meal! After all, a married daughter is useless!”

With that, Zhao Sisi walked out.

“Hey, why are you so angry? I was just joking with you. Why do you take it to heart?!” Jin Xiaojing immediately shouted anxiously when she saw Zhao Sisi running away.

Unfortunately, Zhao Sisi was already heartbroken and left without looking

back.

Zhao Long’s expression turned even uglier!

“Husband, why didn’t you stop your daughter?” Jin Xiaojing complained anxiously, “Look, she’s already gone!”

“Stop her? Didn’t you give your daughter att.i.tude all day long? Now that you’ve broken her heart, you’re blaming me?! I’ve lost my appet.i.te!” As Zhao Long spoke, he put his chopsticks aside and turned to return to his room.

Furious, Jin Xiaojing picked up her chopsticks and ate by herself.

From the beginning to the end, Zhao Yuanzheng remained silent.

After dinner, Zhao Yuanzheng ran out to play without helping clean up the dishes!

Amidst the silence, Jin Xiaojing suddenly felt that the food in her mouth tasted bland.

How did she end up living such a miserable life?

When Zhao Sisi returned to Grandpa and Grandma’s courtyard, she stood at the door for a moment as she composed herself.

After that, Zhao Sisi walked into the house with a smile.

“Grandpa, Grandma, I’m back! I’ve been busy all day. I’m so hungry now! What delicious food are we going to eat today? I can smell the aroma from afar!” Zhao Huaishan smiled when he saw Zhao Sisi return.

“Quick, go wash your hands and sit down! Your grandma made braised pork and your favorite dishes today!”

“That’s right. Sisi, come and try my cooking!” Xu Xiufang also greeted her with a smile.

After Zhao Sisi ran to wash her hands, she picked up the two elders’ bowls and scooped rice for them.

“Don’t scoop rice for me and your grandfather. Scoop rice for yourself first!” Xu Xiufang said with a smile.

Zhao Sisi said, “Grandpa and Grandma, you’ve worked hard, so it’s only right for me to scoop rice for you! I’m still young, so I won’t go hungry even if I eat later! On the other hand, Grandpa and Grandma’s health is more important. In the future, if I come back late, eat first. Don’t go hungry. Just leave some food in the pot!”

“Silly girl, we won’t starve. As a family, we naturally have to sit together and eat.” Xu Xiufang looked at Zhao Sisi lovingly as she said, “Alright, let’s eat quickly. If we don’t eat now, the food will get cold!”

Zhao Sisi nodded emotionally. Then, she ate with relish.

She received the care she had lost from her parents!

Therefore, she was still blissful! At least she had the love of her grandparents!
