Chapter 202: Anger Attacking the Heart
Fang Xiaohui entered the room exhausted.
She went to nursing school, studying things like injections and infusions. To be honest, she didn't like these; she preferred dancing and singing. But the issue was, she couldn't join the art troupe.
The daily classes were annoying, but there was no choice. Only after graduating and getting the diploma could she secure a position in the hospital.
After all, the hospital salary was over 20 yuan a month.
Once she became permanent staff and if she got to be head nurse, she could earn over 40 yuan a month.
Mrs. Song said she should study well and wanted her to fill her position in the future.
Mrs. Song was the deputy dean of the hospital. Her future mother-in-law was quite capable.
Fang Xiaohui wanted to buy a dress.
The weather was getting hot, and she saw several classmates wearing the latest dresses; she checked, and one dress cost over 20 yuan.
Plus, she occasionally went out with Song Mohuan and others to watch movies and eat, which all required money.
Though Song Mohuan usually paid, she couldn't always let him pay and never spend a cent herself.
They had agreed to go boating in the park in a few days.
She planned to buy a new dress and pair of leather shoes, look stunning, and impress everyone, making Mohuan proud.
She specifically went home to ask Fan Xiuying for money.
Actually, a month ago, she just asked Fan Xiuying for 30 yuan.
Seeing Fang Xiaohui also made Fan Xiuying worry. She didn't know whom this daughter resembled, neither her nor Jiang Xiaoshi.
Not only vain but also extravagant in spending.
Every time they met, she'd find ways to ask for money.
Fan Xiuying was now somewhat afraid of Fang Xiaohui.
"Mom, did someone come over? Why so many things? Oh, these are quite good. These mushrooms and shiitake, who sent them? It must be Uncle, right? Uncle is like that; last time I asked him to buy these things, he said they were out of stock, yet he turned around and sent them to you. He just looks down on me."
Fang Xiaohui looked at the things, and her eyes reddened.
These items were prepared by her mother-in-law to give away last time, so she went to the store to buy, but unexpectedly, there were none.
She volunteered, saying her uncle was the head of the department store and could surely get these things. But she didn't expect she'd have to go to Fan Jianguo.
Fan Jianguo flatly refused, saying since they were relatives, he absolutely couldn't use backdoors.
Otherwise, if others caught them at it, it'd be terrible.
He told her to queue up and buy it herself. Fang Xiaohui queued for half the day, and when it was her turn, there were none.
She told people she was Fan Jianguo's niece, but no one believed her. When she called Fan Jianguo, he remained businesslike.
The looks from those people could make Fang Xiaohui want to crawl into a hole.
She was fuming at Fan Jianguo; her uncle had treated her poorly in a past life.
He treated her worse than Jiang Xiaoxiao.
The memories were vivid; Fan Jianguo treated Jiang Xiaoxiao like his own kin.
All good things were meant for Jiang Xiaoxiao; despite living so poorly, he still sent money and stuff to Jiang Xiaoxiao, never treating her like his real niece.
He deserved the fate he received in a past life.
But she didn't understand why Fan Jianguo hadn't become the director of sales in the department store in a past life.
What happened in this life?
Fang Xiaohui always felt uneasy.
In the previous life, the first half was smooth sailing for her. Although living again, she felt unfulfilled, wanting the things she didn't get in the previous life, but the differences between this life and the previous were too huge!
Could it be those memories from a past life were just dreams?
But the dream felt incredibly real; who would dream like that?
Fan Xiuying sighed, "These were sent by Xiao Xiao. You should stop bothering your uncle. You know your uncle's job nature; taking shortcuts isn't something we should do."
Fang Xiaohui was truly troublesome.
Fang Xiaohui pouted.
"Mom, since that's the case, let me take some of these things back. You know, Mrs. Song asked me for these last time. I couldn't get them for her, which made her quite displeased.
Now we have these at home, saving me from running around looking."
Fang Xiaohui said as if it was only right.
Since the Jiang family owed her.
Fan Xiuying hesitated; these were thoughtful gifts from her younger daughter.
Although she felt guilty towards her biological daughter, the situation wasn't caused by them, and ultimately, the child didn't grow up with them, growing distant, which they couldn't blame on the child or themselves.
But directly giving away her younger daughter's thoughtfulness was something she couldn't do.
"I can't give these to you. Part of these are to be kept for your grandparents, and part is Xiao Xiao's intention towards us parents. We can't let you give this intention directly away. You should find ways to queue up and buy them."
For the first time in over half a year, Fan Xiuying showed this attitude towards Fang Xiaohui, and she refused so straightforwardly.
Fang Xiaohui was taken aback, always assuming she had her parents wrapped around her finger, that her parents would give her whatever she wanted, secretly pleased thinking this lifetime she should receive compensation from her parents for them losing her in a previous life, making her work hard to manage her life afterwards.
Otherwise, how had she ended up with that scumbag?
Now, whatever they did for her should be expected.
This was why she had been so arrogant and entitled lately. But she never imagined Fan Xiuying would actually refuse!
"Mom, you know how important these things are to me, Mrs. Song got me work, and she's my future mother-in-law. It was hard enough for her to ask me for something. If I can't manage anything, how will the Song family see me?
Why can't you consider me more? You and Dad aren't short of these things. I am your biological daughter; won't you be happy if I do well?"
Fang Xiaohui grew angry; every time it involved Jiang Xiaoxiao, she was totally sidetracked.
Who was the real daughter?
Jiang Xiaoxiao was actually the Fang family's daughter. Why did she take the parental love meant for her? If she grew up in this family, wouldn't her parents' love have been for her?
Why did Jiang Xiaoxiao take everything away from her?
For the first time, Fang Xiaohui shouted loudly at Fan Xiuying.
Fan Xiuying was stunned; she hadn't expected such a fierce response from her daughter.
"If you want to please the Song family, that's your business. Your dad and I have told you time and again that one should be honest and straightforward about who they are. You dress up like you're wealthy every day, but truly?
Your earnings barely cover your own expenses; you lean on your parents for maintaining appearances. We're just regular workers; we are your parents, not your servants, responsible for making money for you to spend.
If you're unhappy with how your dad and I are doing things, then leave; you've never treated yourself as our Jiang family's daughter. Ask yourself if you've recognized us?
When you come home, other than asking for money, have you ever spent time with us, saying anything, doing anything? Have you ever done anything a daughter should do? Yes, the children got mixed up, but we don't owe you, it wasn't intentional."
Fan Xiuying was angry too; this child had been raised crooked, just like the Fang family, always using twisted logic.
