Chapter 245
245 – Not Recognizing Ties (不要认亲)
After Wang Xin Fang’s one sentence shattered her vocal cords, the righteousness of the villagers outside was triggered.
As fast as the scattering of birds, the moment these people appeared again, they were each holding onto their metal shovels and metal pestles. They carried weapons with destructive potentials from their home and surrounded the trio in an enclosed circle.
Once Jing Tie Jun saw that there were so many people helping them, his confidence rose again.
He was Jing Yun Zhao’s father, so he had the right to make her stay home and never let her leave. At most, today he would make them stay by force and lock them up. On the school’s side, they’d make her directly drop out of school and it would still be considered successfully accomplishing their mission!
This grandiose scene was really too frightening. The cohesiveness of small villages was actually quite strong, each one of them were hating them as if they were the enemy. This practically made Li Shao Yun look like he was a bandit who was kidnapping their daughter.
Jing Yun Zhao believed that even if Li Shao Yun wasn’t here today, she would very likely still be faced with this kind of scene if she tried to leave alone. That’s why she was a little embarrassed about dragging Li Shao Yun into this.
But at the same time, her heart towards this family had completely died!
“Dad, Mom, just let Eldest Sister leave. She’s living well outside, plus- plus you also aren’t…” Jing Xiu who was watching the entire thing play out and was scared to the point of tears.
She felt her own conscience being condemned.
‘Pa!’ Wang Xin Fang swung a slap across her face, “Have I raised you all these years for nothing?! Your Eldest Sister is someone I gave birth to after carrying her for 10 full months. What right does she have to run away with a wild man?! I don’t blame her for wandering outside without any shame before, but she has to change from now on! Otherwise, other people would think that all our family’s daughters are like this!”
A mocking laugh travelled lightly from Jing Yun Zhao.
She had thought that she was incompatible with this family. This pair of parents only had their minds filled with the desire to control her, but from what she could see now, it seemed rather like they had an indelible hostility towards her..
This was obviously to ruin her!
“…” Jing Xiu covered her face and cried even harder. Watching this kind of scenario, she even held some resentment in her heart.
In the past years, is it because I wasn’t good enough? (Kyo: oh no, poor girl DDD:)
She gave in to her younger siblings in every corner. She had to wake up early and go to bed late to help with the household chores, and had never worn more than a few pieces of new clothes in her life.
She was also a girl, she also loved to doll up, but knowing her family was poor, she tolerated it. She did her best to be obedient, did her best in her studies, and even her grades always stayed as the top in school. Unfortunately, she still couldn’t be compared to her little brother who was always at the tail end of his grade.
Their family was poor, but her little brother’s clothes were always new and he had a lot of toys. He could refuse to help with household chores, and even though her Dad and Mom always said he was young, but when she was his age, she already lived like an adult. Why couldn’t her brother do the same?
She had resented before, but she tolerated it, hoping that her parents could be more lenient after seeing her obedience and allow her to continue her studies in high school and university.
However, it still didn’t change. A year later, she had to completely stay home to raise the family. Heavens knew how unwilling she was!
The moment that she saw Jing Yun Zhao today, she was surprised yet she felt pity. She knew what her parents were like and was clear that they wouldn’t treat Jing Yun Zhao well for too long. In the future, this elder sister would be insignificant like her, so she really wanted to tell her. Tell her to quickly leave, don’t recognize these ties!
The good thing was that this elder sister was different from her. She was very powerful and wouldn’t blindly go along with their younger brother. She could even straighten her back and leave with indifference. She was envious, but now that she was seeing those uncles targeting her, she instead felt anxious as if she was on fire.
How can these uncles be like that? What if they really hurt Eldest Sister and her friend?
