Kang Xiaoqiao couldn't be bothered with him. She turned to look at Mother Kang and said coldly, "You think the in-laws you found for big sister are very good, right? Then why did you elope with my father back then? Hmm?"
Hm--
Everyone's minds buzzed. Mother Kang's eyes were wide open, and Father Kang was also shocked. There was only one thought in his mind. How did she know?
But no matter how she knew, when this girl found out, Mother Kang was so scared that she stopped crying. Then, she reprimanded with a terrified face, "Don't talk nonsense, you heartless woman. You poured all the dirty water on your mother. How did I raise an ingrate like you?"
Kang Xiaoqiao looked at Mother Kang's fierce expression, and the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She looked coldly at Mother Kang on the ground and said, "You know very well whether I'm speaking nonsense or not. Also, do you think I don't know? If I didn't plan for myself first, I probably would have been sold out by you in less than two days. As for him, I'm afraid he's not even as good as the one in big sister's house."
After Kang Xiaoqiao said this, Mother Kang and Father Kang's eyes narrowed. Even if Mother Kang was unreasonable, she was actually speechless at this moment. And in this moment of silence, Father Kang walked forward and coughed violently. He shouted, "Alright, everyone, go inside. Don't you find it embarrassing?"
After shouting, he looked up at Kang Xiaoqiao. With a pipe in his mouth, he took a few mouthfuls and was about to walk into the house.
However, Kang Xiaoqiao did not move at all. She just stood there. She said coldly, "There's no need to go inside. Since it's the daughter who married out, whether my sister and I live or die has nothing to do with you. Anyway, you sold us out, so we don't owe each other anything."
After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave, but Kang Tianming grabbed her arm and said anxiously, "Little sister, don't listen to mother's nonsense. What married daughter poured out water? You will always be our little sister."
Kang Daqiao lowered her head dejectedly when she heard that, while Kang Xiaoqiao's big eyes greeted her. She said coldly, "Big sister has been bullied by her in-laws to this extent. There are three males in the family, but none of them are willing to stand up for her. Mom wants to beat big sister to death. As the daughter of the Kang family, what good ending can I have?"
"Big brother, you know very well in your heart. If I didn't marry Lu Yichen, what kind of ending would I have? Big brother, do you know? Mom wants to marry me to that widower who lost three daughters-in-law in the city."
Boom--
Kang Tianming looked at Kang Xiaoqiao in disbelief. Then, his lips trembled as he said in a low voice, "That widower? Impossible! How is that possible? How can mom be so cruel?"
Kang Xiaoqiao coldly glanced at the shocked Kang Tianming, then turned to look at the stunned Mother Kang and said angrily, "Could it be that big sister and I were picked up? Is that why mom treated us like this?"
Mother Kang's eyes couldn't help but shrink when Kang Xiaoqiao's words fell. Then, she cursed loudly, "You wretched girl, you don't even have a mouth. When I gave birth to you, why didn't I strangle you to death? Why did I raise you up so that you could piss me off? Wu, why is my life so miserable?"
Kang Xiaoqiao only said that, but when she saw Mother Kang crying and cursing, her expression became even worse. She was angry and a little stubborn, and her eyes seemed to contain tears as she looked at Kang Tianming. "Big brother, that's a widower who lost three wives. I heard that he likes young girls very much. You haven't forgotten how Xiao Hong died in the neighboring village, have you? We even went to see it back then. I heard that the corpse..."
Kang Daqiao couldn't take it anymore. Ah--
After shouting, she turned to look at Mother Kang. With a face full of anger and hatred, she yelled, "Mom, how could you do this? How could you do this to my little sister?"
"You hit me, scolded me, and married me into that kind of family. I'll accept it. But why did you treat my little sister like this? How could you do this to her? Wu, how could you be so cruel?"
Kang Daqiao cried until her voice was hoarse. She looked extremely sad and angry, but that person was her mother. Even if she choked until she vomited blood, there was no way she could take revenge on her.
The audience watching the Kang family's big show was extremely soul-stirring.
"Hey, hey, hey, that slender and tender-looking girl, is she really the second daughter of the Kang family?"
"Why not? I saw it clearly. I really didn't expect that she would become so beautiful after only being out for such a short period of time. Her skin is so tender, I wish I could pinch it to make water come out."
"Is that so? Hey, that's really something. No wonder that old woman Kang wanted to cling onto her no matter what and found a good husband for her daughter."
"Pfft, she has the heart to do that? Hmph, that's because she took a fancy to someone who was rich and an officer. That's why she insisted on marrying him. Just look at how much the betrothal gift cost. It's two to three times that of an ordinary person. This shameless old woman."
"That's right. Didn't you hear what the second daughter of the Kang family said? That old woman wanted to marry her to that widower in the city. Why was she so heartless? The palm and the back of her hand were all flesh. How miserable was Xiao Hong's death back then? Her parents were crying like they were in tears. It was really regretful. Her good daughter was gone just like that. She had power, but there was nothing she could do."
"Oh my god, no wonder the second daughter of the Kang family jumped into the river. Rather than marrying that widower, it would be better to die a clean death."
"That's right. If she really married that widower, it wouldn't be as good as the eldest daughter. At the very least, she would still be able to keep her little life."
...
Everyone was discussing animatedly outside the courtyard. The faces of the members of the Kang family were especially unpleasant. She did what she did, but she also hated people saying it.
Meanwhile, Kang Tianming's wife, Xiao Fen, was also stunned at this moment. What was the situation with this family? She knew that everyone in the family doted on her sister-in-law. At this time, the preference for sons over daughters was generally serious. Everyone in the village knew that the second daughter of the Kang family was doted on endlessly and that the Zhuang family didn't know how to do anything.
At the beginning, she was still envious, but after she married into the family, she felt that something was very wrong. The Kang family had two daughters. One was doted on endlessly, but the other was living a miserable life. When she married into the family, she was bullied by her in-laws. Not only did her mother's family not support her, they even beat her up. How was this something that a proper family would do?
Compared to her elder sister-in-law, her younger sister-in-law's beauty was like heaven and earth. They were both daughters, so why was her attitude so different?
Now that she heard this, she could not help but sympathize with the sisters. So what if they pampered Kang Xiaoqiao? Her mother-in-law was ruthless enough to say that they could sell her.
Although she was not pampered at home, at least her mother was not so ruthless.
Listening to the discussions outside, Kang Tianming's anger had reached its peak. He stared at Mother Kang with red eyes and shouted, "Mom, is what little sister said true? You were going to marry little sister to that widower, is that right?"
