Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Are You Happy Seeing Me in Such Pain? Chapter 91: Chapter 91: Are You Happy Seeing Me in Such Pain? “Aunt Niu, I just feel so wronged. I finally left that home. Since no one loved me or cared about me, I decided to leave.
I was very happy living with Grandpa. But today, they actually went and destroyed the vegetable patch. I just can’t take it, Aunt Niu, you know, for us farmers, the vegetable patch is our livelihood. Tell me, what are we supposed to eat after such destruction?”
Bai Zhi was crying uncontrollably, her eyes red with anger. It was genuine fury, as this was the vegetable patch Grandpa had tended with so much effort. And they, well, they just went and ruined it all.
“They say they’ll give me money, but can money really compensate for Grandpa’s hard work? Why don’t you try doing some work by yourselves?”
Bai Zhi looked at them with scorn. It’s all well and good to talk, but to actually get them working? Who knows what that would turn into.
“Sister, I didn’t know…”
The group pet was also crying, her hand over her heart at that moment.
Bai Zhi felt nauseated watching her. Always clutching her heart—what, does she have heart disease or something?
If she weren’t still trying to play the innocent damsel, Bai Zhi would have really liked to go over there and slap her a few times until she could no longer wail and whimper.
But, no, that won’t do, I shouldn’t set a bad example for the children. Besides, she’s the darling daughter of Heavenly Dao, so what if hitting her caused her to bleed and grant her some kind of golden touch? Now that would really be bad luck.
But, the male lead could feel a little pain.
Tonight, he can certainly stretch his muscles a bit.
The male lead, well, has to go through hardships to grow. She’s just helping him grow. He doesn’t need to thank her. Really.
If she had known earlier that he was the male lead, maybe she wouldn’t have saved him. Maybe she’d even have kicked him a couple of times.
“I didn’t know you felt this way. I’ve never thought about stealing Mom and Dad from you. I just wanted to become part of your family.”
The group pet didn’t understand. It never occurred to her that her sister might think she stole their parents. How could that be?
They were a family; why would there be talk of stealing?
“Moreover, you really misunderstood. Mom and Dad love you too.”
Just like Mother, they all…
“Don’t talk to me about this. I don’t want to hear it and I hate you. Please don’t appear in front of me again, and you too!”
Bai Zhi glared coldly at the group pet. Since Aunt Niu had been told, it was as if everyone had heard.
With all the wrongs she had suffered, it was natural for her to hate them.
“You wrecked Grandpa’s vegetable patch. It’s only right that I step on your foot. Taking without permission is the same as stealing—don’t tell me you didn’t know.
Is she family just because she says so? If I say you’re my friend, does that make you my friend? To me, she’s nothing but an enemy.”
Yes, not family, not friends but enemies.
From the first day she arrived here, she knew—to the original owner, the group pet was the enemy.
Maybe if there was no group pet, everything would be different. But is that really so?
Not necessarily. The group pet may be an enemy, but behind her, there’s the Heavenly Dao, the original creator.
Bai Zhi isn’t afraid of the group pet, and she’s certainly not scared of Bai Yu and Bai Ye; she even dismisses Bai Da with contempt.
No matter how formidable Bai Da is, he’s still Grandpa’s son; what can he possibly do?
What she fears is startling the snake in the grass; she can’t allow Grandpa to leave.
Because of her arrival, many things had changed, yet she still didn’t dare to bet.
She didn’t dare to bet whether there would be any changes or not.
Otherwise, why would the male lead still appear? He clearly shouldn’t be appearing at this time,
What did this imply? Even with changes occurring, the trajectory of events would slowly restore itself; even if there were deviations, the male and female leads would still meet eventually.
She discovered that as long as the group pet and the lead group weren’t involved, there wasn’t much impact. But if the male and female leads got together, things could repair themselves,
So, she couldn’t gamble; that would cut off her own path.
Coming here meant starting anew, everything was new. What was there for Bai Zhi to be afraid of?
“You…” Ouyang found himself at a loss for words. He felt quite confused. Listening to this girl, he didn’t know why, but he always felt that if what she said was true, then maybe her dislike for Xixi was also somewhat justified?
No, no, no, that wasn’t right. She was clearly distorting the truth.
She was the one who hit someone, and she was the last to hit someone.
And now she was the one crying and claiming to be aggrieved. She was utterly unreasonable.
Xixi was such a lovely girl. She even saved him, so of course, he was going to support Xixi.
“You really are distorting the truth!” Ouyang bit down on his teeth and spat out these words fiercely.
“Distorting the truth? What do you know? Was it not you who ruined the vegetable field?”
“It was us…” But it wasn’t like you describe at all,
Bai Zhi simply glared at them. She was tired and not having fun at all. Forget it, she thought, and just waved her hands at the two.
“Fine then, get lost. I’ll let this go for now, but next time, I won’t be so easygoing. Nan Xi, remember your place. My grandfather has never acknowledged your identity.”
Nan Xi felt like she could barely stand. Those words were like a knife twisting in her heart, constantly reminding her that she wasn’t a true daughter of the family.
She was nothing more than an outsider. No matter how hard she tried, she would always be an outsider.
Her sister really knew how to wound her heart, didn’t she?
“Sister, does seeing me in pain make you happy? Continuously reminding me that I’m not our parents’ daughter, do you realize that’s more painful than hitting me?”
Nan Xi whispered desperately, almost roaring. She had barely found a bit of warmth and felt like it was a dream, trying to cling to it with all her might.
But her sister prevented her from deceiving herself any longer,
“Can I really never have a family? I just want… to have love, to feel the warmth of a family…”
Isn’t only that much not enough to give her hope?
Is it not good to be a family? To live happily together with mom and dad, and brother?
“I never thought of stealing them from you. I just wanted to be part of the family, to live together with you all. Is that so bad?”
“It is bad. What does your need for a family have to do with me? Nan Xi, I treated you well before, didn’t I? But how did you treat me? You exaggerated things, wishing everyone would hate me. Seeing you just makes me sick!”
It was truly sickening. Making lofty speeches as if they gave her the moral high ground to blatantly think she was right. It was so ironic.
“That’s right, Nan Xi girl. You’re just an adopted daughter. You should be grateful for being fed, but you dare to put yourself above Bai Zhi. If you were helpful with chores, maybe we’d think you understood your place, but you…”
Really, no matter how pitiful Nan Xi seemed to be, comparing her chubby self to Bai Zhi’s appearance, the contrast was stark.
How had they not noticed this before?
It must have been because of Bai Da. Bai Da always said their children loved each other dearly, that Bai Zhi was just quiet.
