Chapter 2: Chapter 2

Heh, my terrible temper!

“It’d be better if that scared you to death. I don’t wanna waste my breath talking to you!” Su Jingrui glared at his younger sister as if she were his mortal enemy. “Can you have some sympathy? Why do you need a job as a girl? If you marry into a good family, you won’t have to do anything!”

What did he say?

Why did it sound so unpleasant to her ears?

Su Hanyan raised an eyebrow. “That’s right! Why does a girl need a good job? Say that to Lin Zhiqiu and tell her to stop wanting my job. Couldn’t you feed her well and let her enjoy life?”

Su Jingrui was stunned. He did not expect this lass to have a temper and even dared to talk back to him.

He was furious. “I’m telling you: Whether you like it or not, you must give up your job! Mom is in charge of this family; it’s not your place to speak!”

“Heh!” She placed her hands on her hips and spoke in a crisp voice. “I’ve got a terrible temper. Since I won’t arrange my own marriage, then you will? I already said that I won’t marry, much less give away my job!”

What can you do to me?

“You think you’re all grown up. Your wings have hardened, huh?” Wei Guiqin did not expect her daughter to be this adamant on refusing. “Know your place! I’ll say this today: Be good, get married, and nothing will happen! If you’re disobedient and ruin your brother’s marriage, leave this house. This family won’t tolerate you anymore!”

“Fine, I’ll leave! Since you don’t want me here, I’ll just stay at the staff dormitory!” She did not lack a place to go so she was not afraid of being driven out.

Su Hanyan stormed off and headed straight to her room.

Wei Guiqin had only said that in a fit of pique. She knew that her daughter had a timid personality. She would cower after being frightened, so she wanted to scare her into submission. After she gave up her job, this matter would end.

Unexpectedly, she actually talked back!

“Mom, look at her! She’s clearly disrespecting you!” Su Jingrui took the opportunity to fan the flames. He could not wait for his mother to pick up the feather duster and beat up his sister with it.

“You’re right. If we don’t punish her, she’ll eventually climb up on our heads!” Wei Guiqin then rushed to her daughter’s room and stood at the door. She pointed at her and scolded, “Aren’t you leaving? Leave! If you have the ability, then leave! Quickly pack your things and get lost! Don’t stay here any longer. I can’t feed your extra mouth. How capable you are. You’re incredible, aren’t you?”

“There’s no need for you to rush me!” Su Hanyan pulled out a luggage from under her bed, opened the closet, and shoved her clothes into it haphazardly. Once she was done, she took the luggage out.

The wheels of her luggage rolling on the ground made a rumbling noise. Since everyone lived in a courtyard house, when they heard the commotion at the Su family, all the neighbors came out of their houses and gathered to see what was going on.

“Yanyan, why are you dragging a suitcase around on a weekend?”

“That’s right. What happened? Did you guys fight again?”

“…”

The neighbors were all asking questions one after another.

“My mother chased me away!” She looked at the neighbors with a pitiful expression. “The lady my brother wants to marry wants a job, so they asked me to give up mine for her and even tried forcing me to marry a widower! Since I didn’t agree, my mom chased me out! Uncle, auntie, she only cares about my brother’s happiness, not my life or death!”

Before she left, Su Hanyan did not forget to drag Wei Guiqin through the mud.

Who asked them to bully her like this?

The neighbors in the yard all criticized Wei Guiqin. Both were her children, so how could she show favoritism?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Even if she favored a son over a daughter, it was illogical to force her daughter into a corner!

Wei Guiqin cared about her face very much, and her daughter’s loud complaints made her lose some, so she immediately urged her son to stop her.

“Don’t spout nonsense! I didn’t mean that!” Su Jingrui immediately blocked his sister’s way as he spoke in a low voice. “You’d better behave. Mother has a big pride. Hurry up and apologize to her in front of our neighbors. Say that you are in the wrong! We’ll talk about this later!”

Su Hanyan smiled at her brother and directly dragged the luggage over his feet. “Dream on!”

“D*mn you, b*tch!” Su Jingrui raised his hand instinctively.

She screamed at once as she curled into a ball. “My brother wants to hit me! I’ll leave; I’ll leave, alright?”

“Look. Is that how an older brother should treat his younger sister?”

“Why’re you bullying your sister? You are siblings, so how can you do this?”

“Jingrui, you’re not young anymore. Don’t be immature!”

When the neighbors all chastised Su Jingrui for his inappropriate conduct, he felt so angry. Unfortunately, he had no way of venting.

“Brother, I’m really sorry! It doesn’t matter if you bully or oppress me like usual, but I really love my job and don’t want to marry anyone carelessly. I’m really sorry; I’m leaving now!” Su Hanyan left her brother behind as she left straightaway.

The entire courtyard of the Su family was filled with onlookers, and all of them pointed their fingers at Wei Guiqin for being a heartless and incompetent mother.
