Xing'er looked up at her, her expression changing from calm to cold, and said, word by word:

"There are so many people with the surname Li in Xinghua Village, do you think they all listen to you?"

"I don't think so?"

Grandma Li never expected this girl to refute her like that.

"You...you!"

"You... are disobedient and unfilial!"

She was so angry that she didn't know how to yell back.

Seeing that even her grandmother couldn't control her, Li Lanhua grabbed her grandmother's hand and started walking back. "Grandma, let's go back and find Dad and Mom. I don't believe they're still biased towards her."

After saying that, she turned her head and shouted at Xing'er:

"Li Xing'er, I won't want any of the good things you give me in the future!"

"Exactly, we don't care."

"We don't want your stuff."

"Okay, remember what you said."

Xing'er knew that the original owner's brothers and sisters had a deep prejudice against her, but she didn't expect it to be this deep. She felt that she had done enough, so since it was still like this, she might as well go her own way.

Even siblings are the same.

Xing'er didn't mind.

When she returned to the new house, she saw her grandmother and Lan Hua talking to Zhang Shi, glancing at her sideways as they spoke.

Xing'er stood at a distance, neither too close nor too far. She hadn't been standing there long when Daya brought over a bowl of coarse rice and a wild vegetable bun. She whispered, urging them to hurry.

"Sister Xing'er, time to eat! You took us to the mountains this morning, and it's already afternoon. We've all eaten, but you haven't had any food yet."

"Um."

She picked up the bowl and took a casual bite. After Da Ya handed her the bowl, she turned around and went back to help with the work.

Xing'er hadn't even taken a few bites when Zhang Shi walked towards her with a worried look on her face.

She sighed first, then pulled her daughter aside and asked helplessly:

"Xing'er, tell your mother what happened? Why didn't you take your fourth sister and third brother to the market?"

Xing'er habitually pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said:

"Mother, I don't know how to explain this. I admit I didn't do well before, but I've changed. However, my third brother and fourth sister still yell at me over the smallest things."

I can't accept it.

"Besides, I can bring whoever I want to the market. I've already talked to Dad about it. I've paid back everything I owed the family before, so don't say I'm ungrateful."

When Zhang heard her daughter's words, she didn't know what to say for a moment. She knew that her husband had already talked to her, but she didn't expect her daughter's attitude to be so firm.

But the other children in the family are also her children.

After hesitating for a moment, she still advised:

"Xing'er, no matter what, your third brother and fourth sister are still your own brothers and sisters. Even if the bones are broken, they are still connected by tendons. You shouldn't compare them to outsiders."

"Just do as your mother says, and take your younger brother and sister with you, okay!"

Zhang almost pleaded with Xing'er.

Seeing her mother's troubled expression, Xing'er was moved for a moment, but then she remembered that once she opened the door, there would be a next time.

She hardened her heart:

"Mother, I know you and Father love me."

That's why I worked so hard to hunt wild boars and build a house.

But apart from you and Dad, nobody in this family likes me.

"But Gou'er, you've seen how good Tie Dan and the others have been to me since I was little. A few days ago, I was almost dead, and none of my older brothers, sisters, or younger brothers and sisters wanted to save me."

"If it weren't for my father asking Uncle Zhu for the herbs, I would have died long ago."

Zhang's lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but didn't. She knew what her daughter was talking about, but Xing'er was her child, and Lan Hua and Yu Shan were also her children.

The palms of the palms and the backs of the hands are all meat.

What can she do?

Looking at her daughter's stubborn little face, Zhang couldn't help but continue to persuade her:

"Xing'er, please don't argue with them for my sake, okay? You are all my children, and I don't want to see you two causing such a scene."

Xing'er hadn't spoken yet.

Li Dashan walked over and spoke first:

"Third sister, do whatever you want."

After saying that, he turned to his mother and said:

"Mother, please don't force Third Sister. If Third Sister doesn't want to take Third Brother and Fourth Sister with her, then so be it."

Why force me?

Putting the past aside, in this family, only you and Dad care about Third Sister. We have all treated her badly. Although she did many terrible things in the past, we didn't help Third Sister when she was in danger.

It's only right that my third sister blames us and hates us.

Li Dashan understood very well that they had never taken care of his third sister since she was a child; it was always their mother who cared for her. Perhaps it was because she had never gotten along with them since childhood, and it was still the same now.

It's already quite good that we can live in a new house thanks to her good fortune.

He dared not think about anything else.

Hearing her eldest son's words, Zhang sighed deeply. Since her son had said so, what could she say? She could only whisper:

"Do as you please, I'm too old to care anymore."

After saying this, Zhang turned and left helplessly, leaving behind only a lonely figure.

Xing'er watched her leave expressionlessly, then looked up at Li Dashan and asked calmly:

"Brother, are you telling the truth?"

Li Dashan nodded heavily.

Then, changing his tone, he said:

"Third sister, don't blame us. You've done too many awful things in the past, and we really don't like you. Although your eldest brother knows you've changed now, that feeling has been there since we were little."

It's very difficult to reverse.

Your third brother and fourth sister are still young, and I hope you won't hold it against them.

You've made something of yourself now. If you're willing to give us something, we'll accept it. If you're not, your older brother won't force you.

It's all up to you.

But remember, we're all family, we're brothers and sisters.

At first, Xing'er thought he was very reasonable and that she could treat him like a brother, but when he brought up his young age, she couldn't accept it.

"Big brother thinks they're still young, but has he forgotten that when I was struck by lightning, you all wanted me to die as soon as possible?"

I won't say anything more.

When I get angry.

Her voice had become much stiffer.

Li Dashan was stunned when he heard this, and for a moment he didn't know what to say. They had indeed wished for her to die that day.

Xing'er left after she finished speaking.

Li Dashan was left standing there alone, a bitter smile on his face.

.........

That evening.

Li Fusheng said nothing, acting as if nothing had happened, ignoring the subtle atmosphere inside the tent.

However, to Li Lanhua and Li Yushan's surprise, their second sister, who loved them the most, did not help them.

The second sister also scolded them for eavesdropping on the third sister's secret.

Li Lanhua and Li Yushan were furious.

He ignored his third sister all night and even deliberately gave her a hard time.

Xing'er simply gave a cold smile.

It doesn't matter.

The families of Gou'er, Tie Dan, and Daya were overjoyed.

Especially Li Laosan.

His son and daughter-in-law died in the river years ago, and now he only has two grandsons left. He knows that his grandsons Gou'er and Tiedan have always been good friends with Xing'er from Fusheng's family.

Upon learning that Xing'er was taking the two brothers to the market, he said earnestly:

"Since it's your first time going to the market, you must listen to your sister Xing'er. Don't buy anything indiscriminately, and don't beg her to buy this or that, understand?"

"Your sister Xing'er has had a tough time too."

"We know, we know, Grandpa, don't worry."

"We'll just go and take a look; we won't buy anything."

The two brothers were extremely excited.

I tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.

The straw beneath him creaked under the weight.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

The two of them wished the chickens in the coop would crow immediately.
