Chapter 62: 061: Do Not Do unto Others What You Do Not Wish for Yourself i
Translator: 549690339
Liu Xiangxiang is her own niece. As an elder relative, how could she possibly feud with her blood-niece?
Ni Cuihua laughed and shook her head, “I don’t mind, it’s just a child’s…” The sentence hanging. She continued, “Sister-in-law, you’ve been good with my brother for these past years, right?”
Liu Juan nodded, “We’re doing alright. But that’s mostly thanks to my own younger brother, otherwise, do you think Ni Dazhu could have become a worker just by his own merit? If my brother hadn’t pulled some strings for him, he wouldn’t have accomplished much of anything!”
Ni Cuihua gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject, “Sister-in-law, are you and my brother both working at the factory now?”
Instead of answering, Liu Juan asked, “Did Yangyang quit school?”
“Yes.” Ni Cuihua nodded and confessed with shame, “It’s really my failing as a mother. It’s been hard on the child…”
Liu Juan continued, “It’s really a pity that Yangyang dropped out of school so early. What was her educational background?”
Although Ni Cuihua wasn’t sure of Liu Juan’s intent, she still answered, “Middle school.”
Middle school?
When Liu Xiangxiang heard this, she instantly felt relieved.
Even though she wasn’t as pretty as Ni Yang, her educational level was much higher. She was in her senior year of high school, and could take the college entrance exam next year. In the future, she would go to college and marry someone from the city!
No one in the city would want to marry an illiterate like Ni Yang!
By that time, she would rank above Ni Yang, and so would her children and her descendants.
Ni Yang, a bumpkin, was destined only to be a green leaf accentuating the beauty of a flower.
Thinking like this, Liu Xiangxiang felt a great sense of superiority. Her gaze towards Ni Yang became increasingly disdainful.
Liu Juan said with great regret, “All, only middle school! 1 was thinking of asking my brother to find a way to get Yangyang a job at the factory. But now, the factory only hires those with high school education and above. How did things turn out this way…”
In reality, Liu Juan only wanted to cut Ni Cuihua off.
Ni Yang work in the factory?
Dream on!
Ni Cuihua and her daughter were simply acknowledging their kinship with them because their family had flourished as factory workers!
Such shamelessness.
Want to take advantage of their family?
No chance!
Ni Cuihua laughed and said, “That’s alright, sister-in-law. I appreciate your kindness. Actually, 1 wanted Yangyang to continue studying anyway…” Before Ni Cuihua could finish, the door was opened.
Ni Dazhu, dressed in a worker’s uniform, walked in from outside, carrying a slab of meat.
Seeing him, Ni Cuihua got up excitedly, “Brother!”
Ni Dazhu stood there frozen, taking a moment to react. There was no joy that should come from a long-awaited reunion with family on his face, rather, a hint of distaste.
“Cuihua? What… what are you doing here?”
Seeing Ni Dazhu’s reaction, Ni Yang knew, this uncle was completely hopeless!
He was no longer the Ni Dazhu from Dam Village.
Ni Cuihua didn’t think about it too much and quickly pulled Ni Yang closer, “Yangyang, this is your Uncle, say hello!”
Ni Yang obediently said, “Hello, Uncle.”
Ni Dazhu frowned deeply, “Why did you bring the child with you?”
Liu Juan crossed her arms and stood aside, adding a sentence like she was watching a play, “Cuihua divorced Mu Jinbao, so she purposely came to Beijing to seek refuge with you.”
Hearing this, Ni Dazhu’s face changed instantly, “What?! Divorced?! How could you get divorced? Why did you get divorced? What shameless thing have you done? Mu Jinbao wants to divorce you? How did the Mu family end up with someone like you?”
At these words, Ni Yang frowned slightly, simply observing Ni Dazhu.
As a brother, his first reaction to his sister’s divorce was not concern for whether she had been wronged in her married home, but questioning whether she had done something wrong! He even cursed his sister for being a living treasure!
This brother, he’s really too much.
“It’s not like that.” Ni Cuihua immediately became panicked, crying as she spoke, “Brother, listen to me, it’s not like that! 1 genuinely cannot stay in the Mu family any longer, you don’t know, they are simply inhuman, not only wanting to abandon my oldest son, but also planning to marry Yangyang off to a eunuch! To make matters worse, Mu Jinbao brought back an unidentified woman who is carrying his child. How can 1 continue to live this life when things are like this?”
Ni Dazhu was about to be angered to death by Ni Cuihua!
What, you’re not capable enough to keep your own man, and now you’ve come here to complain to him?
A cast-off shoe, not embarrassed in the slightest.
He had finally started having some good days and he could not let this useless sister drag him down!
Ni Dazhu furiously pointed at Ni Cuihua and shouted, “It’s your own fault for being incompetent! Who made you unable to bear a son! You can’t bear a son yourself and won’t let him find someone else to do so? Do you want to watch the Mu family line die out?”
Ni Cuihua never expected these words to come out of her own brother’s mouth. It was different from the sibling recognition she had imagined. With tear-filled eyes she asked, “What about Yangyang? She’s still so young, she’s only seventeen! Does she deserve to be married off to a eunuch?”
Ni Dazhu coldly replied, “So, what if she gets married? It’s the will of the parents and the word of the matchmaker! As a girl, should she not get married and just stay at home living off someone else’s earnings?”
“Uncle, you’re really good at distorting the truth,” Ni Yang spoke with a glowing smile, “If 1 remember correctly, cousin Xiangxiang is a year older than me. The eunuch hasn’t taken a wife yet. Since girls are meant to marry sooner or later, why don’t you let her marry him?”
“Oh, and,” Ni Yang continued, “Auntie hasn’t given you a son until now either. Are you planning to find another woman to bear you a son? Or have you already found one?”
As she said this, Ni Yang turned her gaze towards Liu Juan.
Ni Yang’s words cut deep. Liu Juan was glaring fiercely at Ni Dazhu, grinding her teeth. She seemed to want to eat Ni Dazhu alive.
No wonder she felt Ni Dazhu had been acting strange recently, it turns out he wanted a son! He was harboring secrets!
The audacity of Ni Dazhu! Wait and see how she dealt with him behind closed doors later!
On the other hand, Ni Dazhu was so angry that his face turned white. It had never occurred to him that Ni Yang would say such things – this disobedient niece, what audacity! She even dared to contradict her own uncle!
But, it was impossible for him to refute any part of her statement.
“Insolent! Insolent! 1 will beat you to death, you disrespectful wretch!”
Ni Dazhu directly raised his right hand, aiming a slap at Ni Yang’s face.
He was Yangyang’s uncle. Even if he really beat her to death, no one could do anything to him!
This scene scared Liu Xiangxiang into covering her mouth, but her eyes gleamed with a schadenfreude.
Hit her!
I hope he beats this country bumpkin until she becomes disfigured!
Whenever she saw Ni Yang’s beautiful face, she felt nauseous.
How could such a beautiful face be born on Ni Yang? Life is truly unfair.
Whether in terms of background or level of education, she was a hundred times better than Ni Yang. Why was she not even half as beautiful as Ni Yang?
Ni Yang looked at the hand coming towards her with a calm expression on her face. She gently raised her hand, grabbed Ni Dazhu’s wrist and laughed, “Can’t handle it? Didn’t you ever hear the saying, ‘what you don’t wish upon yourself, do not do unto others’.. You can’t even handle this, so what gives you the right to force it onto me and my mother? You really are a great brother, a great uncle!”
