Chapter 96: A High-ranking Leader of the Medical Academy?
Tong Yao did not let Si Xiaohui off the hook, and fired back, "Being pampered means you have a good life, if you had my life, you’d probably be even more pampered."
If Si Xiaohui, who was raised in the countryside and has developed a bad temper, were raised in a wealthy household like Yao’s, wouldn’t she be overbearing and domineering too?
Although Tong Yao is pampered and not particularly diligent, she has sound moral values and has never behaved too egregiously. Unlike Si Xiaohui, who loves to meddle in other people’s affairs and stir up trouble, on a whole, Tong Yao is far better.
Si Xiaohui, in a good mood, did not argue with Tong Yao, "Okay, okay, you have a good life, everyone admits you have a good life."
Of course, she knew Tong Yao had a good life. Otherwise, how could she have married her elder brother?
Their mother has painstakingly raised her elder brother, yet before he could repay her kindness, Tong Yao swooped in and profited. All the money he earned is spent on maintaining Tong Yao, so if Tong Yao doesn’t have a good life, who does?
Many girls in the village were envious of Tong Yao. Ever since her elder brother was admitted to the Medical School, people’s attitudes towards her had shifted, many girls went out of their way to befriend her, and even girls who never used to hang out with her started seeking her company.
Matchmakers were constantly knocking at her door. At the time, her mother dismissed them all on the basis that her elder brother was still studying and not in a hurry to get married. Later, when her brother graduated and was busy with work, he didn’t hurry to meet girls either. Who knew that Tong Yaohui would then eagerly rush to marry off his daughter? After several phone exchanges, he directly sent over Tong Yao, along with her dowry.
She remembered clearly that on the first day Tong Yao arrived at her house, she cried so much and had swollen eyes like walnuts. She clamored to leave, saying this was not a suitable place for humans to live and blamed Tong Yaohui for pushing her into a pit of fire.
At the time, she and her mother were extremely embarrassed. In the end, only after Tong Yaohui gave Tong Yao a severe scolding did she quiet down.
