Chapter 5: Nobody Can Do Anything When Family Turns Against You
Wang Family’s compound had many hamlets, with Yang Family hamlet being one of the smaller ones, containing forty households and merely two streets.
Suizi’s maternal home was located on the western side of the second street.
Yu Jingting and his wife took advantage of the strong afternoon sun to head over.
Peering through the shabby door, Suizi saw the courtyard was a complete mess, filthy beyond belief.
Before her birth mother moved back to the city, their house had never been this unkempt.
Her birth mother had been an educated youth sent to the countryside, a city dweller who valued cleanliness, and always kept the house immaculate and growing flowers throughout the courtyard.
Three years ago, her mother had returned to the city, and less than two weeks later, her father brought his new wife to the house.
Lun Lamei came along with her stepmother, and from the day they joined the old Chen Family, Suizi never had a good day.
Her stepmother, Wang Fenfang, was exceptionally lazy. All the flowers in the courtyard had withered, and trash was strewn everywhere.
"You wait here."
Yu Jingting, seeing Suizi standing dazed at the door, assumed she was afraid of her stepmother.
