Rebirth of a Little Cannon Fodder

Chapter 140 Parents Are Here 2

In the past, Ma Ning might have thought there was something wrong with this, but now it’s different. She seems to see many things clearly.

"Dad, what you mean is how can I help my mother's family and repay my brother and sister-in-law?"

At this moment, if Mr. Ma really loves his daughter, it is not difficult to hear the difference in Ma Ning's emotional stability when she said this.

Unfortunately, Mr. Ma only thought that his words had an effect on Ma Ning's heart, and he didn't notice that his daughter's mood was not right at all.

"It seems you're not hopeless, and you still have some conscience. You don't need to do much, but your in-laws are quite powerful in Beijing. I wonder if they can find a way to transfer you there, or even give you some money to get you a director position."

Seeing Mr. Ma's as if it was a matter of course, Ma Ning really wanted to laugh.

"I can't do any of what you said. Li Bin and I do have an obligation to support you, but I have no obligation to support my brother and sister-in-law."

"If my brother wants to be the director, he should find a way on his own and stop coveting my things. If he wants to go to Jing City, let him rely on himself and stop sucking my blood for no reason."

Ma Ning felt that she was really suppressing the pain in her heart to say these two sentences, and after she finished speaking, she felt that she had no strength left.

"Ningning, how can you talk to your father like that? Hasn't our family been good enough to you over the years? Look at the girls around you. How many of them have graduated from high school, and how many of them have lived as well as you do at home." When Ma's mother heard what her daughter said, she stopped pretending to be silent and spoke directly, winking at Ma Ning while speaking.

Seeing this scene, Ma Ning really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Her mother had always kept telling her that she had a bad fate, being born in a family that favored boys over girls, and that she was lucky to have such good parents.

But having said that, she has done a lot of work since she was a child, but her mother has always been a doting daughter and never lets her work in front of outsiders.

To others, she said she couldn't bear to let her daughter go through the same hardships she had endured. But behind the scenes, she would tell her younger self that women needed to learn how to do housework throughout their lives so they could manage the household frugally. She would then assign the chores that her younger self was capable of doing to her. She would then let her older brother go out and play, saying that boys couldn't do housework or they'd be effeminate.

At that time, I felt that I was so great because I could help my mother with housework. I was a little adult, unlike my brother who just played all day.

"Yes, they are really good to me. In words and deeds, I am the treasure of the Ma family. But in reality, my brother can go out to play after school, and I have to do the housework. When we go shopping during the holidays, we buy clothes for my brother, and he can choose beautiful clothes. But when it comes to me, I never have enough money, so I can only buy some defective items that can't be sold."

"Whenever good things come, my brother eats first. When he's had enough, I get to eat the rest. And I always have to give in to him because I'm a girl and I need to be sensible. Even though my brother is older than me, he doesn't have to be sensible because he's a boy."

"That's enough. Have we wronged you all these years? Don't you see which girl in our family compound has a life as good as yours?" Father Ma couldn't bear to listen any more and interrupted Ma Ning directly.

Ma Ning knew that she had touched her parents' pain points, so her father interrupted her.

"Why are you unable to contain yourself now that I've told you the truth and shattered the image of good parents you've always maintained? The Ma family did support me, but I wasn't the one who got the job in the countryside this time. I was admitted to the textile factory, but I had diarrhea on the day of the interview. What on earth did I have to explain? And who took my job? You all know that, don't you?"

Originally, the Ma family's quota for going to the countryside was meant for the eldest brother. At that time, Ma Ning had already been admitted to the textile factory and only needed one final interview to become a worker. But as luck would have it, she suddenly had diarrhea on the day of the interview, and the interview form disappeared.

Later, seeing her parents worried about her elder brother going to the countryside, Ma Ning volunteered to go to the countryside.

Originally, Ma Ning thought that since she couldn't go to the textile factory anymore, she might as well go to the countryside. This way, her parents might not be so worried, and it would also make them happy.

Ma Ning had always believed it was fate, but only after returning home this time did she realize that her diarrhea was caused by her elder brother giving her croton powder, and that the job she had worked so hard to get was sold, with her good mother taking the interview form.

After knowing this, Ma Ning took Li Bin away without saying goodbye. She didn't tell anyone about this. But today she didn't want to endure it anymore. She had always hoped that her parents could see her, but this might just be her delusion.

As soon as Ma Ning said this, Ma's parents looked guilty.

It was indeed a lie they made about Ma Ning's job. At that time, the street office forced the eldest brother of the Ma family to go to the countryside. Originally, the two of them intended to let Ma Ning go to the countryside, but at that time, Ma Ning actually passed the exam and got a job.

This caught the Ma family's parents off guard, but later they thought that getting a job was a good thing. After all, by selling Ma Ning's job, they could buy a job for their eldest son.

Under the manipulation of Ma's parents, Ma Ning volunteered to go to the countryside, and a job was arranged for their eldest son. Perhaps out of a little bit of conscience for their daughter, they sent money to Ma Ning every month during her time in the countryside.
