9 min read2,208 words
This was actually the tragic life of a woman who would sacrifice everything for her younger brother.
Li Su sighed with emotion. Fortunately, she was here. In this life, her daughter would never sacrifice everything for her younger brother. She wanted to spoil her daughter like a little princess!
While Zhang Yao was asleep, Li Su entered the space and took stock of her current assets. She found that the cash alone was enough for her and her daughter to live. She still had a lot of antiques in her space. If she sold any of them, she could get a lot of money.
Thinking of this, Li Su suddenly remembered her obsession in her previous life, Coca Cola and fried chicken. Oops, how could she forget that. Now it was dark outside and the original owner didn’t have a cell phone, so she couldn’t order takeout. What should she do? She was so thirsty! No, she must buy the latest model of cell phone tomorrow!
Li Su fell asleep thinking of fried chicken and Coca Cola.
At the same time in the Zhang family, Zhang Wei frowned. Seeing this, Mother Zhang shot him a glance and discussed things with Father Zhang. “Tomorrow, take the money to refurbish the house. Little Ya will be happy living there.”
Father Zhang glared at her. “What is wrong with you? The newly renovated house is full of formaldehyde, which is not good for pregnant women and fetuses. You want to kill off my eldest grandson!”
Mother Zhang patted her head. “Oh, how could I forget this? But we can’t do nothing. Little Ya is so generous. I feel sorry for her and I can’t wrong my grandson!”
Father Zhang also frowned, but unfortunately, there was not much money at home, otherwise it would be good to buy a new house.
Zhang Wei said, “No hurry. I have discussed things with Little Ya, and she has invested all her money into the clothing store. After a few years, she will make more money. At that time, we will have made more money and will be able to move to a bigger house.”
Mother Zhang was even happier when she heard those words. “That’s good. Go help Little Ya. Your father and I will help you take care of the children.”
Zhang Wei looked at them. “I have discussed things with Little Ya, and Little Ya also thinks the same. The clothing industry is very profitable these days, so it would be good if you can take care of the children, okay? What is important now is scientific parenting, so don’t parent them the old way.” Li Su had brought up Yao’er herself. The old couple didn’t even help wash a diaper.
Mother Zhang smiled and said, “Don’t worry. He will be my eldest grandson. Whatever you say, we’ll do it. I’ll ask your dad to go to the bookstore tomorrow and get some books. We will follow what the books say, so we can’t go wrong!”
Zhang Wei smiled and said nothing.
Mother Zhang thought for a while. “You frowned just now. Are you thinking about that mother and daughter? You are divorced and they have moved out. They have nothing to do with our family, do you hear me?”
Zhang Wei said impatiently, “Li Su and I were married after all. And Yao’er, she is my daughter. How could I not care about her? They are penniless and don’t even have clothes. What should I do?”
“They have gone their way and we have gone ours. How can you still care about them?! Is it possible that you still want to give them money? If you have that money, it’s better to leave it to my eldest grandson. To have a girl is to lose money, so it is useless for them to ask for money! They are no longer our family, and whether they live or die has nothing to do with us! Didn’t Little Ya say that she wanted a big diamond ring? Do you have enough money for that? If you don’t have enough money, I’ll give you some more. I’ll change the furniture in your house tomorrow. Now, the sheets, curtains, and other things have been changed. We will take Little Ya home. Let her quickly leave the rental room so as to not spend extra money,” Mother Zhang rambled.
Zhang Wei was a little worried about Li Su and Zhaog Yao at first, but then his attention was attracted by Mother Zhang’s words. “Mum, I want to change not only the furniture, but also the bed.”
“It should be changed!” Mother Zhang said.
It was only after Qi Ya moved in that she found out that Zhang Yao was taken away by Li Su. Before, she had severe morning sickness and was busy with the clothing store, so she didn’t even think about it.
Qi Ya didn’t know that Zhang Yao followed Li Su until she moved into the Zhang family’s house.
“Anyway, Zhang Yao is also the flesh and blood of your Zhang family and is my son’s older sister. How could you let her go?” Qi Ya was a little unhappy. “Zhang Wei, you didn’t tell me that before.”
“It’s just a little girl. It’s fine to let her go. The one in your belly is the golden grandson of our Zhang family!” Mother Zhang said.
Zhang Wei also said, “Li Su suddenly repented and said that if I didn’t give her custody of Yao’er, she would not divorce me. I can wait, but the child in your belly can’t wait. Mum is right. It is just a little girl, so it’s fine to let her go. What does it matter?!”
Qi Ya couldn’t help but glare at Zhang Wei. How could he be so stupid with Zhang Yao? The girl could be of great use in the future! That girl, although she was still young, she could tell that the girl would grow up to be a beauty! It was a shame to let her go.
Qi Ya was a little angry. When she was angry, her stomach hurt a little, so she quickly held her stomach and tried to calm herself down.
“People who don’t know what the actual situation is will think that I can’t tolerate her because I am pregnant with your son. Besides, what about the girl? The girl may be able to help out our son in the future,” Qi Ya explained patiently.
Hearing this, Zhang Wei became thoughtful.
Mother Zhang said, “What are you afraid of? You can give more brothers to my eldest grandson, and the brothers can help each other. That will be good!”
Qi Ya really wanted to tell Mother Zhang the truth. She had had too many abortions before. The doctor said that her uterine lining was already very thin. It was already considered good to be able to keep the son in her stomach. Besides, if she gave birth to more sons, would their family be able to afford it?
In the future, when they grew up, got married and bought a house, wouldn’t they need to spend money?
It was extremely difficult to get free labour and this idiot let her go.
Qi Ya got angry when she thought about it.
Seeing this, Zhang Wei quickly said, “Don’t be angry. I’ll go to Li Su tomorrow and get Yao’er back. Now that we are divorced, she can’t threaten me anymore.”
Zhang Wei suddenly changed his mind because he remembered that when he was not with Qi Ya before, he had heard someone talking about Qi Ya’s life history. He remembered that in order to raise a son, Qi Ya’s family gave birth to eight daughters in a row. Qi Ya was the youngest daughter before they finally got a son.
With the successive births, the Qi family was impoverished. But when the daughters of the Qi family gradually grew up, the life of the Qi family gradually improved. Several daughters treated their parents wholeheartedly and they raised their younger brother like he was their son. When their only younger brother grew up and was about to get married, several older sisters paid 100,000 yuan per person to buy an apartment for him in the county town.
Qi Ya was more shrewd, unlike several of her older sisters who were dedicated to supporting her parents. She went out to work after graduating from high school. Since then, she paid money every month, but she had never returned home. After her younger brother got married, she stopped sending money and completely cut off contact with her family.
Thinking of what Qi Ya had just said, Zhang Wei had an epiphany. It was a pity that his mother didn’t give him more sisters, otherwise, his life would definitely be much better than it was now.
Mother Zhang didn’t understand why she changed her mind again. Just as she was about to speak, Father Zhang pulled on her.
After the two returned to the room and closed the door, Father Zhang said, “The matter of Zhang Yao is up to them. Don’t interfere.”
Mother Zhang stared. “You are telling me not to interfere? If there are a lot of children, then it will cost a lot!”
Father Zhang glanced at her, “What can one girl cost a family? If she gets married in the future, we will also ask for a betrothal gift. Think about it.”
Mother Zhang snorted. “Who knows what will happen in the future.” But in the end she no longer objected.
In another room, Zhang Wei and Qi Ya were also talking about this. In front of Zhang Wei, Qi Ya didn’t hide anything. She directly stated her thoughts. After finishing, she said, “I don’t expect her to support our son in the future. I don’t badly need money. I’m just in the clothing business. It’s just that the clothing business is very busy, and sometimes I have to go to other places to purchase goods. Your parents are also old and in poor health. If you ask for a nanny, your mother will definitely not agree. One is worried and the other is afraid of spending money. Zhang Yao is six years older than our son, so she could take good care of her younger brother. With her taking care of our son, you don’t have to worry about others.”
Zhang Wei smiled. “Okay, I know. I’ll go tomorrow. You’re right, it will be good for our son to be taken care of by an older sister.”
Only now was Qi Ya satisfied. “Do you know where they are?”
Zhang Wei smiled. “Her parents are gone, and she doesn’t have any other relatives. She only has her friends. Don’t worry. Not many people know that we are divorced, so I can definitely find out.”
Qi Ya happily kissed Zhang Wei’s face. “You should quickly quit your job and go to the clothing store to help. I have had a serious reaction these days. I’ve been working very hard and I’m still busy with the store.”
“Why say goodbye? Just don’t go. When I pick up Yao’er, I’ll go to work in the clothing store. You should just raise the baby at home with peace of mind, and give me a big fat son!” With that said, Zhang Wei lowered his head and kissed Qi Ya’s belly.
Ziya smiled proudly.
Li Su didn’t know Zhang Wei’s plan, but even if she did, she wouldn’t be afraid.
She woke up early in the morning, packed up, and took her daughter to KFC to eat the fried chicken and drink the Coca Cola she had been thinking about all night.
Zhang Yao only took the fries and ate slowly.
Li Su could see that she liked it very much, but why wasn’t she eating them? Thinking of what she said to her last night, Li Su smiled, and pushed the egg tarts, hamburgers, chicken wings, and others to her. “Eat what you want. We will leave here after we finish eating.”
A flash of longing went through Zhang Yao’s eyes. She had grown up, but she had never eaten these things. She still shook her head. “Mum, I’ll just eat this. You can eat more.” It was not easy for her mother to raise her. She can’t eat too much.
“Mum can’t eat so much. If you don’t eat it, it will go to waste.” Li Su’s words were true. She had forgotten about it for so long, so when she ate it, she realised that it hadn’t changed.
But she knew that children like fast food.
Zhang Yao took a serious look at Li Su, and found that Li Su didn’t lie. Li Su really couldn’t eat it all. She just smiled and then ate happily.
After she had eaten everything, she wiped her mouth and explained, “Mum, I really eat very little. Today was an accident. I won’t waste food.”
Li Su touched the braids on Zhang Yao’s head. “Okay, mum knows. You eat more, grow faster, and be healthy so that mum will be happy!”
