Joyful Motherhood in a Rural Family

Chapter 389: Chapter 389: Gains Must Come with Losses

Translator: 549690339

How could she not have thought that parents who could let their daughter get married and not care for her in more than half a year, how could they be good?

If they really cared about her and valued her, they would have long come to check on her!

She shouldn’t have held onto any illusions!

The so-called “the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment”; that must be her situation right now, right?

Feeling angry, she naturally walked very fast.

“Sisi, Sisi, don’t be like this…”

Liu Zhi’er chased after her from behind, grabbing Liu Sisi’s arm and stopping her from continuing to walk forward.

“Little Sister, look, you’re still trying to convince me to come back to see our parents. Yet, when we reach the door of our home, you’re the one who wants to back out! Just like you said, it’s only being scolded a few times, it’s not like we’ll lose a chunk of meat. Our Dad is still our Dad! No matter what he did wrong…”

“Yes, he gave birth to me and raised me, but he also sold me like selling a pig, a chicken, or a duck, like he did with me, Liu Sisi.”

Liu Sisi’s pent up anger did not dissipate, and was stuck in her chest!

She turned her head and swept her gaze over the crowd surrounding her: “Tell me, is a pig that has already been sold still considered part of the original owner’s family?”

“This, this matter, of course, doesn’t count, but…”

Liu Zhi’er dodged and hesitated, not knowing how to respond.

“So you see, people are even worse than pigs!”

Liu Sisi’s mouth curled up in a shallow smile, but there were two tear streaks on her face.

“He was actually right just now! Since a sold pig is no longer considered part of its original family, then I, a person sold by the Liu Family, should not be considered a member of the Liu Family either!”

As she forced a smile and tried to lighten the mood, she carefully unclasped Liu Zhi’er’s fingers, one by one, and looked at her with a pained expression, unable to find the right words to comfort her.

“Since I am not a member of the Liu Family, naturally, I should not enter the Liu Family’s main entrance… Second Sister, I’ll go first!”

Liu Zhi’er’s hand dropped dejectedly, looking at her, at a loss.

Liu Sisi let out a mournful smile, forcibly holding back her tears, and turned around to stride away.

It wasn’t until she had taken several quick steps around two bays that her anger had somewhat subsided, and her pace finally slowed down.

Although she said beautiful words, deep down, she too hoped to receive her parents’ love and care, to have a joyous and peaceful family reunion during the New Year.

“Sisi! ”

A mournful call suddenly came from behind her, causing Liu Sisi to stop involuntarily.

Mrs. Yao caught up with her, grabbing her hand and couldn’t help but cry out.

“Si’er, do you really not want me, your mother…?”

Hearing these words, Liu Sisi’s heart ached, but she stubbornly refused to turn around.

“I know it was my fault for making you get married in a hurry. In the beginning, you were taken by Businessman Zhang…This was the best solution I could think of. It’s just that I’m useless and couldn’t go against your father and your big brother. I didn’t want you to get married so soon, but…” Mrs. Yao sobbed, shaking Liu Sisi’s hand while covering her own mouth with the other.

“Mom…”

Unable to control herself, Liu Sisi turned around and cried out, throwing herself into her mother’s arms.

“Mom, Sisi knows it’s not your fault…”

It was already commendable that Ms. Yao had managed to marry herself off under such circumstances, withstanding the pressure from the rest of her family!

“Si’er, my poor Si’er! To see you safe and sound, it’s worth it even if I have to die for it…”

Instead of comforting Ms. Yao, these words made her cry even louder!

Tears welled up in Liu Sisi’s eyes, but she stubbornly refused to let them fall.

The mother and daughter hugged each other for a long time, unwilling to let go.

“Mother, don’t cry! We’re reunited today; we should be happier.”

After a while, Liu Sisi finally came back to her senses and wiped away Ms. Yao’s tears. Though she had no memory of her existence, the bond between a mother and daughter was unbreakable, and she could still feel the genuine love Ms. Yao had for her through her words and actions.

“Yes, you are right, it’s my fault!”

These words prompted Ms. Yao to quickly wipe away her tears, smiling happily as she held her daughter’s hand, “Si’er, let’s go home. I made starch-steamed meat and braised pork trotter today, so you have to eat more later.”

“No! Mom, Sisi doesn’t want to go back.”

Liu Sisi pouted, her face stubborn. Even though she knew logically that she should agree, her pride deep within her refused to do so!

“Si’er, don’t be silly, just go home and have a few bites. Just a few bites of the dishes your mother made, okay? Just a few bites… or do you want your mother to kneel before you before you agree?”

As she spoke, Ms. Yao slowly began to kneel, which shocked Liu Sisi and made her kneel down as well.

“Mother! What are you doing? Are you still my mother? What kind of mother would kneel before her daughter? Please get up…”

Liu Sisi’s tears finally fell.

“No, unless you agree to forgive your mother, I won’t get up.” Ms. Yao sobbed, “Si’er, do you know how long your mother has been waiting for you to come back? Si’er, you heartless girl, you left without even entering the house when you returned home. You really want to kill your mother, stab her heart with a knife…”

Ms. Yao’s crying was so intense that she could barely catch her breath.

“I’m sorry for letting you down, and for letting you and your sisters down. I tried my best, but I can’t fight against your father and your brother…”

“Stop talking! Mother, I promise you! Sisi promises.”

Ms. Yao’s heartbreaking cries finally touched the string in Liu Sisi’s heart, the string called family ties.

“Si’er, you… what did you just say? You promised your mother? You really promised me? That’s great, that’s great! Let’s go, let’s go home quickly…”

“Yes, Sisi promised Mother.”

Liu Sisi softly replied, wiping her mother’s tears away with a handkerchief, “Most things in life don’t go as we wish. I, Liu Sisi, am already fortunate to have a mother who truly loves me. How could I dare to ask for more?”

Compared to having a loving mother, the presence of trashy relatives like her father and brother was insignificant!

“Ah, Mother is so happy to have such a well-behaved child like you… let’s go home.”

Ms. Yao was overjoyed, pulling Liu Sisi’s hand as they turned to go back.

Having seen through the true nature of her family, Liu Sisi felt surprisingly calm when she turned around to face her father again.

The world was like this; to gain something, one must inevitably lose something.

Having such a wonderful mother, she, Liu Sisi, no longer cared about the trashy relatives she had.
