Chapter 297 - 289: Sisters at War
Early in the morning, such commotion broke out at Zhong Liangcai’s house that it roused the neighboring inhabitants. Seeing the spectacle in the paddy fields, they too were startled, with some busybodies having already run off to notify others.
"Indeed, without you, Zhong Yuying, how could I have such wonderful days? I truly owe you gratitude! My dearest second sister!"
Sneering, with a forced smile and grinding teeth, Zhong Hongying spoke to Zhong Yuying as if she were ready to devour her alive.
"Hongying, let’s talk this out, no need to get physical. Whatever grievances you have, tell Mama, ah, not like this!" Wang Yueyue, Zhong Liangcai’s wife, tearfully pleaded with Zhong Hongying.
With a cold laugh, Zhong Hongying said, "Tell you? So you can sell me out again?"
"Zhong Hongying, you little beast, you even want to kill your own sister, are you still human?" Zhong Liangcai was not one to speak kindly, angrily spewing insults at his youngest daughter as usual.
Upon hearing the familiar scolding, Zhong Hongying’s eyebrows knitted in contempt, "With parents like you beasts, of course I’m a little beast! Now you care about your second daughter, but didn’t you repeatedly say you wanted to beat Zhong Yuying to death when she stole your two hundred yuan dowry money three years ago? I see, in your eyes, apart from Zhong Shoufu being your son, only money is your true flesh and blood!"
The crowd of onlookers at the Zhong Family’s paddy field grew, and upon hearing Zhong Hongying’s words, they all burst into laughter, leaving Zhong Liangcai gasping with rage.
Zhong Shancai arrived as well, and he was so frightened by Zhong Hongying’s stance that he hurriedly said to his niece, "Hongying, put down the chopsticks. If you kill your sister, you’ll have to pay with your life. She’s not worth it! I know you’re suffering inside, but you’re still young, with many more days ahead. We have to look to the future; things will get better."
"It won’t get better, Uncle, never will it get better. It will never be alright!" Zhong Hongying let out a wretched chuckle as if harboring immense sorrow within her heart.
