Chapter 192: Chapter 192: All for Show Projects

“No! Big sister, I must try. I don’t want to stay in the countryside for the rest of my life, only knowing how to farm. I don’t want to live a life where I can see the end in one glance,” Er Ya said with determination.

Da Ya didn’t look favorably upon this matter, but since Er Ya was so persistent about something for once, she didn’t want to throw cold water on her enthusiasm.

Besides, all the sisters had been living too hard a life. If Er Ya could escape such a fate, as an older sister, she would be very happy for her.

Therefore, she encouraged her, “Good, Er Ya, since you have this desire, then Big Sister supports you. I will do more work in the future, and you can use the time you free up to study.”

“Great, Big Sister, I definitely won’t let you down,” Er Ya nodded vigorously, resolved to study even harder from that point on.

To celebrate his daughter’s first place in the grade, that very afternoon, Jiang Changhai went to the Supply and Marketing Cooperative and bought three pounds of pork, then stopped by the state-run restaurant to pick up a bag of steamed buns to bring home.

Seeing him bring back so much stuff, both the adults and the children were overjoyed.

The old lady was smiling so much that her teeth were on full display, “There’s no one in our village more filial than Eldest.”

Zhaodi scoffed. In her previous life, Uncle’s family had moved to the town after making some money and often bought things back to Stone Bridge Village, leading the grandparents to believe that the main branch was the most filial.

As such, the old couple would always publicly praise Uncle the most.

Meanwhile, her own family toiled diligently, serving them for a lifetime, never even earning a single word of praise; the irony was extreme.

At dinner, the Jiang Family cooked a big pot of meat, the aroma even drifting over to the neighbors, making them salivate with envy.

It wasn’t even the New Year, yet the Old Jiang Family was starting to eat meat. Having money really made things different!

The girls, looking at the big bowl of meat on the table, secretly swallowed their saliva. Usually, when the family cooked vegetarian food, Zhang Guihua allowed them to join the table.

Today, with meat being served and without Zhang Guihua’s permission, they didn’t dare to take their seats.

Jiang Changhai saw his nieces standing there with longing eyes and felt sorry for them. He waved at them, saying, “What are you looking at? Come and eat.”

Upon hearing this, the girls subconsciously looked at the old lady, who, despite looking a bit upset, said nothing. This gave them the courage to finally take their seats.

But they didn’t dare to take much; just a few pieces each was enough to satisfy them. The meat was so delicious!

“Big Sister, the pork is really delicious. Uncle is so good, bringing back so much meat. It’s like celebrating the New Year,” Laidi said, still licking her lips in the room after the rare treat.

Da Ya nodded, “Yes, Uncle has always been very good to us sisters. So, in the future, when we grow up and earn money, we should also buy meat for Uncle to eat.”

But Zhaodi spoke emotionlessly, “Uncle bought the meat to celebrate Third Sister’s first place in the exams, we just got lucky and benefited from it.”

They were just incidental, no need to be so grateful.

As her several friends had said in her previous life, the kindness of the main branch towards them was all for show!

It was just to maintain a good reputation in the village of being successful but not forgetting to look after one’s family.

Despite being so wealthy, if they really had a good heart, they should have pulled their second branch out from under the grandparents’ exploitation, not watch coldly as they were humiliated and oppressed!

But these thoughts were unknown to the other girls. Laidi even brought her hands together, praying fervently, “Then I hope Third Sister can come first every day, so we’ll have meat to eat every day!”
