Li Jin immediately scolded her. “You stupid girl, how can you compare yourself to your two sisters? She’s good at her studies and has a mild temper, and she’s one of the top students in the cla.s.s. She will marry into a good family and lead the Xias to a good life. You can’t compare to her!”

Xia Wan sneered in her heart. Li Jin was just short of saying that he would groom Xia Ru and Xia Ye so that they could marry into rich families.

In her previous life, Xia Ye was the one who s.n.a.t.c.hed her marriage away. Although she didn’t love him, he was rich and powerful. After Xia Ye got the marriage, he started to take revenge on her family. Her father lost his job and couldn’t survive in the village. His life was particularly difficult, and he even met with an accident because of the other party’s evil designs.

Thinking of this, the hatred in Xia Wan’s eyes only deepened. She lowered her head and tried hard not to let her hatred be noticed by others.

Wasn’t she always bragging about how powerful her two sisters were?

Alright, she would trample on their most outstanding aspects and deny their pride completely!

As the eldest son, Xia Jiang stood up and said, “Alright, don’t mention the separation again, Wanwan. There’s nothing that we can’t discuss as a family.”

Then, he handed the 110 yuan to Li Jin. “Mother, you can keep this month’s salary.”

Chen Lian gave Xia He a look, and Xia He gave Li Jin 80 yuan as per the previous rules.

Xia Jiang’s monthly salary was 220 yuan. If he handed half of it to Li Jin, Xia He’s salary would be 200 yuan. However, since Xia Yu was his son and Chen Lian was the best at coaxing Li Jin, he only gave her 80 yuan a month.

The reason was that Xia Yu had to spend money, and Xia Jiang’s family didn’t have a son, so they didn’t need that much.

On the other hand, Xia Wan’s family consisted of two sons and a daughter. Xia Hai earned 300 yuan a month, but all of it was given to Li Jin. Every time their family wanted to buy something, they had to ask Li Jin for help.

Originally, Xia Hai’s salary was the highest in the family, and their family’s quality of life should be the best. However, because he was usually quiet and honest, he would really pay for everything when Li Jin asked him to.

Xia Hai went to work every day, and Li Jin couldn’t let him go hungry. However, the rest of the family would have a hard time.

Besides, Li Jin either spent the money that Xia Hai handed in himself or gave it to the other two companies. In terms of clothes, Xia Ru and Xia Ye had more than Xia Wan.

When it came to the food, however, Xia Yu ate the most in the family but did the least work.

The more Xia Wan thought about it, the angrier she became.

However, everyone in this era valued filial piety and felt that children should obey their parents unconditionally.

Her parents were the ones who would choose her suitor, and his work and future plans were the ones he had to deal with.

If she dared to say anything about pursuing freedom, she would immediately be branded a freak in the eyes of the entire village.

The cities in the coastal areas were much more unrestricted than her hometown, but Xia Wan didn’t have enough money to settle down over there. She still had to take the college entrance examination, and if she wanted to completely solve her family’s problems, she still had to plan slowly.

Seeing that everyone else had already contributed their share of their salaries, Xia Hai also took out 300 yuan and prepared to give it to Li Jin.

Li Jin’s eyes lit up when she saw the money.

Xia Wan began to cough violently. She gently pressed an acupoint on her body, and her face suddenly turned pale. She coughed as if she was going to die the next moment.

Yan Han hurriedly held onto Xia Wan, her voice filled with anxiety. Wanwan, what’s wrong with you, Wanwan? Don’t scare me like this!”

Yan Han s.n.a.t.c.hed the money from Xia Hai’s hands and said in a rare domineering tone, “Wanwan is so sick. I asked Mother to give her an egg, but she wouldn’t let me. We’ll keep the money to ourselves from now on. I have to take Wanwan to the hospital for a check-up!”

Xia Hai’s heart ached when he heard Xia Wan coughing. When Yan Han came to take his money, he immediately followed her orders.

Even though Yan Han had never complained to him, he knew that Li Jin was more biased toward Chen Lian and her family.

In the past, he only thought that Li Jin might be biased toward the other two families and would not be too harsh on the children in the family. But now, he saw with his own eyes how gravely ill Xia Wan was, but Li Jin didn’t care at all and didn’t even give her food.

It was obvious that Xia Wan’s life was insignificant to Li Jin.
