“I’m just talking nonsense. Think about it yourself, how do they treat you, your wife, and your children? Your eldest uncle, second uncle, and fourth uncle, who among them hasn’t had more education than you? Who doesn’t do less work than you? You work outside and come home to work too, how much do they do when they come home?”
“Back when mom was at home, all the housework was done by either her or us. How much did your eldest aunt do? Your second aunt rarely comes back, but when she does, isn’t she just waiting to eat?”
“And their children, I won’t even talk about education since we don’t have a son in our branch. But they are all granddaughters, yet the treatment is vastly different. Your cousins can go to the embroidery workshop in town to learn, what about us? We can only do chores at home, with endless work every day, often not having enough to eat, or even nothing at all!”
“I ask you, is this how one treats their own flesh and blood?”
She thought that after saying all this, Jiang Dahai would surely have some thoughts about it.
But then.
Jiang Dahai said, “Your fourth uncle is now a student, naturally, his focus is on studying, why should he do any work? As for your eldest uncle and second uncle, they earn more than your father and I, so it’s right for me to do more farm work. As for your cousins, it’s because they have brothers, whereas in our branch, you are all girls…”
Even if others favored boys over girls, he was the same.
And he thought that way.
He deserved to be bullied!
He deserved to be treated like an ox!
Jiang Yan suppressed the urge to curse him and said, “How old is your fourth uncle now? He’s nineteen and has been studying for over a decade and is still just a student. Only you think he can pass the exams…”
“Shut up…”
Jiang Dahai finished speaking, glanced around to make sure his mother hadn’t returned, then breathed a sigh of relief.
Jiang Yan had previously harbored some illusions about him, but now they were completely gone.
