Rebirth of a Village Girl

Chapter 4

THERE IS A CONSPIRACY

Ni Yang's words were well-reasoned and justified.

Li Shu is just a pregnant woman. The two from the Mu Family, who had thrown their own daughter and granddaughter to feed the wolves, would they actually slaughter a chicken and mutton to entertain another's pregnant woman?

But Ni Cuihua is inherently kindhearted. She believes that the world is as good-hearted as her since she is.

At the same time, she also believes that the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao aren't like that.

And besides, she had brought disgrace to the Mu Family by not giving birth to a son. How could she dare to question the old Mu Lady and Mu Jinbao now?

Ni Cuihua immediately covered Ni Yang's mouth, "Yangyang, you can't talk nonsense like this! They are your grandparents and your father! You, as a daughter, how can you talk about them this way? It's just a chicken, right? Aunt Ashu is pregnant, so your grandmother buying a chicken for her is only appropriate! You can't say such things in the future. If your father and grandmother heard this, they would beat you up! Do you understand?"

Ni Yang sighed again.

Stupid!

Ni Cuihua is truly foolish!

No wonder she was bullied to death in her previous life.

Ni Yang sighed, "Li Shu is just pregnant, but my grandmother has made chicken soup for her and asked you to take care of her. Mom, you've just given birth to my little sister. You're weaker than Li Shu right now, but has grandma made chicken soup for you? Haven't you ever wondered why?"

Why can't you wake up?

Ni Yang closed her eyes, finding it hard to breathe.

Ni Cuihua also sighed, "It's all my fault, I didn't give birth to a brother for you. If I could have had a son, perhaps things would not be this way..."

She took all the blame onto herself.

Ni Yang continued, "It's not your fault that you didn't give birth to a son! It's not your mistake! The sex of a child depends on the father, it has nothing to do with you! Besides, these days everyone is equal, so what's the difference between a boy and a girl?"

"But there's a big difference! Boys can carry on the family name, what can girls do? Haven't you heard the saying 'a daughter married is like a bucket of water thrown away'? The idea that men are superior to women has deeply ingrained in Ni Cuihua's mind, and it's hard to eradicate."

Ni Yang's eyes were cold, "Mom, you're a woman too. You can't belittle women. If you look down on yourself, who will respect you?"

Ni Cuihua retorted, "Regardless, girls are inferior to boys. Look at our village, doesn't every family have a man as the head of the household? Yangyang, you are still young and it's normal that you don't understand these things. You'll understand when you get married and have your own family."

Ni Yang closed her eyes: "The one who is stubborn now is you!"

"What stubborn?" Ni Cuihua was bewildered.

She's illiterate and lacks formal education, how would she know what being 'stubborn' meant?

Ni Yang sighed: "Forget it..."

Anyway, Ni Cuihua will see the reality soon.

There's no point in talking more at this point.

Seeing that Ni Yang didn't continue, Ni Cuihua said, "Yangyang, I'm sorry. Your room is being occupied by your Aunt Ashu, as per your grandmother's orders. You might have to stay in the firewood room for now... I'm sorry, I failed to protect you, your mother is...not competent..."
