The conversation went south, so there was no need to continue eating this meal. She had lived quite well when she didn't have any parents and she could do equally well alone in the future.
Jing Yun Zhao got up and walked towards the exit, but Jing Ming Kai suddenly got up and ran to stop her.
"Eldest Sister, give me your bag to see!" he didn't change his tune.
"I'm not your Eldest Sister. Your Eldest Sister has long been thrown into the wilderness and starved to death!" Jing Yun Zhao snorted and directly pushed Jing Ming Kai aside. However, this one action of her immediately triggered Wang Xin Fang and Jing Tie Jun's anger. Jing Tie Jun even slapped the table harshly and bellowed, "Stop where you are, right now!"
Wang Xin Fang ran to support Jing Ming Kai up in panic, "Son, are you alright? Where are you injured?"
"Mom! She hit me! Eldest Sister actually dared to hit me! If she's like this on her first day here, in the future, I won't have any authority in the family anymore! You might as well just let me drop out of school! I'll quit school and help with the work, in the future you guys can look forward to her future prospects to raise you during your retirement…"Jing Ming Kai calmly yet shamelessly shouted.
At 10 years old, one should already be able to distinguish between right and wrong, but because Jing Ming Kai was spoiled by his parents to the point where he had neither the law nor the heavens in his sight. Even if he knew what he was doing was wrong, he still wanted everyone to follow him.
Jing Ming Kai's words were like knives stabbing into Wang Xin Fang; she was both angry and pained.
They acknowledged this daughter not for her to come back to bully their son. Ming Kai was their treasure, no one was allowed to mistreat him!
Jing Tie Jun also walked over, still with some reason within him, "Xiao Yun, it's indeed wrong for your mom to make you drop out of school, those were just words spoken in a moment of anger, but for you to treat your younger brother like that is really too cruel."
"That's right! You are flesh that came out from my stomach, how could you not understand my distress?"
Wang Xin Fang started crying and spread out her hands before Jing Yun Zhao, "Look at my pair of hands. It's so rough and ugly, and they're like this only because your dad and I were working so hard to earn money for our family. We finally managed to raise our son to such an age so that there's someone who can look after us when we grow old and send us off when we pass away but look at you, you're bullying our baby to death the moment you're home…" (Kyo: Excuse me? Are you talking about that ungrateful piece of shit that would probably just take all your money and run away the moment he thinks you're useless? | Ome: tru)
"You think that we let you down, but how have we let you down? I gave birth to you ah! Plus, you wandering outside in destitute is your grandmother's fault, aren't you doing great now? You look pretty and your grades are good, what's there to compare? Moreover, I spent so much effort today to prepare this entire table of food. But what? You didn't even give it a second glance and you already want to leave! Is this something a daughter should do?!" (Kyo: fuck offfffff | Ome: Ok boomer, look did she ask you to give birth to her? Nooooo, it was your stupid fault for not using preservatives, and then you throw her out because she is a Girl? Excuse me, WTF is your brain made of?)
The Jing family finding their eldest daughter was something worth gossiping about within the village. There had been people hovering around their gates since early in the morning, just to see how this daughter they've found looked like.
Wang Xin Fang's voice was extremely sharp, creating such a ruckus to the point where the neighbours on both sides could hear it clearly.
In this little village, the relationship between the villagers was harmonious. The moment they heard Jing Yun Zhao 'disdained' her biological parents, most of them became unhappy. Those who heard it all gather outside the gates of the Jing home.
"This girl looks so good, why's her character so bad? Xiao Ming's Mom woke up so early to cook, just to feed a white-eyed wolf!" (Ome: WTF they have two older kids that they can base out of, but they get that spoiled thing ugh that is why I don't like small cities)
"Not just that, I just heard from outside their door that Xiao Ming wanted to look at her bag, but as the elder sister she was, she didn't want to. She kept wanting to leave as if her life was at stake…"
The villagers at the door were all pointing fingers as if Jing Yun Zhao had committed an enormous mistake.
This kind of scene, even in her past life, Jing Yun Zhao hadn't faced it before.
