Chapter 151: Did big brother really say that?
"Big brother’s smooth sailing now, forgetting the hard times we used to endure," Si Xiaohui grumbled, wanting to remind her eldest brother of the days when the three of them relied on each other as children. She hoped that it would make him cherish their familial bonds more and improve their sibling relationships. However, he didn’t seem interested in revisiting those tough times.
Understandably, who would want to reminisce about life’s struggles after reaching a period of ease and comfort?
Second brother mentioned not forgetting our roots after moving to the city, but who is the one truly forgetting here?
Sichen gave her a glance, "By the sound of it, you seem to be pretty nostalgic for our hard old days. Are you dissatisfied with city life? Want to go back to the village?"
"..."
Si Xiaohui was taken aback, feeling wronged she said, "Who said I’m not satisfied with life in the city? I...I only meant to say that it’s heartbreaking to remember those difficult times. I don’t want to go back to the village where the roads are all muddy and you can’t even step outside when it rains. Whoever wants to go back can go, but once I’ve left, I don’t want to return."
Initially, she didn’t understand why everyone was so keen on getting married into the city - no fields, no land, life seemed uncertain. However, once she moved to the city, she realized just how comfortable it could be, so unlike the countryside where everything was dirty and muddy, where she had to labor in the fields from dawn to dusk, under the burning sun, for a meager income.
How much better is life in the city!
