The younger brother's sophistry made Wen Xiaoping even more angry, and she picked up the broom next to her and was about to hit her younger brother.

At this time, her mother, who had not shown up, appeared in time, "Wen Xiaoping, I gave you the courage, right? Put it down!!!"

Wang Xiufen snatched the broom from Wen Xiaoping's hand and didn't give her a good look.

"You are just a bully at home. If you have the energy, go out and make more money! You are really a money-loser."

Wang Xiufang snatched the broom and walked away cursing.

"And you, you are so lazy all day long. If you can't get into college, you can go to farm for me."

Wang Xiufen scolded the two back.

The two siblings, who were originally at loggerheads, did not start to curse at each other in the end.

Wen Xiaoping stared at her brother fiercely, "I'll settle with you later!!!"

At dinner, because of Wen Xiaoping's return, there was an extra pork elbow on the table.

But the two siblings were still angry with each other. Seeing that the table was a little cold, Wen Haifu started to joke. "When my daughter was at work, did any handsome guy ask you for your contact information?"

"No." The greasy elbow was not what she liked to eat. This was the food that Wen Zijian liked.

This made Wen Xiaoping, who was originally feeling depressed, feel even more uncomfortable.

Originally, she was thinking about sharing her joy with her parents tonight, but now, she was a little entangled.

"How can you hook up with men without wearing those sexy clothes?" Wang Xiufen picked up a piece of elbow and said sarcastically.

"Bang!" Wen Xiaoping slammed the bowl and chopsticks onto the table and looked at her mother unhappily, "What do you mean?!"

Wang Xiufen was also shocked by her daughter's behavior, "What do I mean? I asked you what you mean? With such a loud noise, who do you want to scare to death?"

Seeing her daughter looking at her with a stern face, Wang Xiufen became even angrier.

"You make a big fuss as soon as you come back. You're at work! Can't you make some progress? I'm exhausted from work, and I have to cook for you when I come back. You don't even take a piece of the food I worked so hard to prepare!"

"Don't you want to eat? Don't you want to eat? Don't you want to eat?"

"What do you mean?" Wang Xiufen was a little confused by her daughter's question.

"You are all eating, why are you blaming me alone? Did I not help you light the fire when we were cooking just now? I have never liked eating pork elbows since I was a child. I don't believe you don't know that? Yes, I came back suddenly and didn't tell you, but at least it's okay to steam a fish, right?"

Wang Xiufen didn't know how to answer for a moment, and wanted to lose her temper again. When she saw her daughter's expressionless face, she turned off the fire and suppressed the urge to curse in her heart.

"I don't remember, haha. How about steaming a crucian carp and frying fish pieces for you tomorrow?" Wen Haifu tried to smooth things over.

"Just spoil her!" Wang Xiufen stared at Wen Haifu fiercely. "If she likes to eat, eat it. If she doesn't want to eat, forget it."

"From childhood to adulthood, you are partial! You have always been partial to Wen Zijian!" Being scolded by her mother, Wen Xiaoping simply broke the jar and spoke frankly.

Wang Xiufen was also annoyed by Wen Xiaoping's words and cursed directly. "Am I partial? Am I short of food or clothes for you? Don't you look at the people around you? Who can go to college? Don't they all go out to work early to earn money to support the family? Only your father and I get up early and work in the fields! You go out to work for a few days now, you are strong now, right?"

"You don't lack food or clothes for me, but from childhood to adulthood, is it fair? What good things do you give to Wen Zijian, and what about me? I'm either working or working! When the weather is hot, his room has air conditioning, and my room? I still use the broken fan he discarded!!!"

"At least you are not killed by the heat!" Wang Xiufen also threw the bowl, "I asked you to sleep on the floor in your brother's room, but you didn't go. How can you? You pay for the air conditioning yourself!"

Wen Xiaoping found that she had no way to communicate with her parents.

She just wanted her parents to treat her equally, but she told her that they were grateful for her upbringing.

If it doesn't make sense, don't talk about it. Anyway, this is how I have been for so many years.

Wen Xiaoping put down the bowl and went back to her room.

Seeing that her daughter no longer bowed her head and listened to her preaching like a quail when she was a child, Wang Xiufen was even more unhappy.

She cursed directly, "If you want to leave this family, return the money I have raised you for so many years!"

"Wife!!" Wen Haifu, who had been quiet all the time, realized that something was wrong and quickly spoke to stop her. When he turned around to look at his daughter, he saw only her

Tears and grievance in her eyes.

"Am I wrong? Looking at her like this, I guess she will leave as soon as she finds a man. Zhuhua, who is the same age next door, went out to work after graduating from high school! It's been four years now, and she gives more than 10,000 yuan to her family every year! Now her husband gives her 150,000 yuan as a betrothal gift! This money-loser has studied for four years, not to mention money, and her tuition has cost tens of thousands!"

"I'll pay you back, okay? I'll go to the bank tomorrow and return all your money to you!" Wen Xiaoping shouted, went straight back to her room, packed her luggage, and threw herself on the bed, crying softly.

If the bank hadn't been closed now, she would never stay in this house.

At 12:30 in the middle of the night, there was a light knock on Wen Xiaoping's door.

After knocking for a long time, Wen Xiaoping didn't respond. But the house at home has no locks and can be opened directly.

With a squeak, the door was gently pushed open.

Wen Xiaoping raised her head, her eyes were a little red and swollen. Seeing that the person coming was her brother, she said unhappily, "Why did you come in?"

Wen Zijian, who had just entered half of his body, was a little embarrassed. He couldn't go in or out.

He could only lean against the door frame with his buttocks below the door and said, "I'm sorry, sister. When you just left, my closet was eaten by insects. There were many rats at home, so I put my clothes in your closet."

"So you just put my clothes on the bed?"

After being yelled at by his sister, Wen Zijian was even more embarrassed and could only patiently explain.

"I'm sorry, sister. That day, my mother asked me to put your clothes on the sofa in her room, but I was lazy."

Wen Zijian took out three hundred yuan from his trouser pocket, "This is my money, I'll compensate you first. I'll pay it back when I get a red envelope during the Chinese New Year."

Perhaps because he was afraid that his sister would scold him again, Wen Zijian put the money down and closed the door.

Looking at the money placed on his bedside, there were both small and large amounts. Wen Xiaoping was silent for a while.

Once upon a time, that brother was still her follower.

When they were older, they started to quarrel.

I really envied my parents' kindness to my younger brother, and I had resisted before. But every time, my parents comforted me by saying that my younger brother would take care of me in my old age.

As a result, I began to hate my younger brother. Now it seems that this younger brother is not particularly bad, but I hate him as a vested interest.

Wen Xiaoping couldn't sleep all night.

On the one hand, my parents raised me and supported me to go to school. It is true that as my mother said, I am not short of food and clothing. Compared with those girls of the same age who dropped out of school early to work in the village, I am lucky.

But unfortunately, people here value boys over girls. They also compare with each other how much dowry they get for marrying their daughters. Women here are like commodities.

Wen Xiaoping felt a little sad. Her parents were actually the same, but they were just a little better than other people in the village.

If it weren't for her mother's venomous remarks that made her physically uncomfortable, she would have planned to let her parents go out to work with her.
