Chapter 776 The Sister Who Was Shackled Because She Wasn't Sent Away (1)
The original owner was born into a family that favored sons over daughters.
Back then, after the original owner was born and it was discovered that she was a girl, her mother became pregnant again only a month after giving birth.
Unfortunately, fate had other plans, and their second child was still a girl, not the son they had longed for.
The family was gloomy and couldn't even be bothered to name their second daughter.
However, due to policy reasons, they were unable to have a third child. In the end, they decided to give away their newborn daughter, pretend that the child had died accidentally, and continue trying for a third child.
The adoptive family's surname was Lin, so the second daughter finally had a name.
Linxi.
But unexpectedly, the original owner's mother was never able to get pregnant again.
Over the years, she tried many methods, but she was unable to have another child.
Just then, the original owner's father's business suddenly started to improve.
Later, the original owner's father had an affair, and the other woman became pregnant; it was said to be a boy.
The original owner's father insisted on getting a divorce, refusing to let his precious son be an illegitimate child.
The original owner's mother threatened suicide to force him to agree.
Finally, the original owner's grandfather intervened and forced the original owner's father not to divorce.
The result was that both sides compromised, and the illegitimate child was brought back; they did not divorce.
The original owner's mother, Li Xiaofang, had no choice but to accept it reluctantly.
In public, she was a good mother, treating her illegitimate child as her own, winning her husband's affection, and was a magnanimous wife.
Behind closed doors, she abused the original owner of the body, venting all her resentment on her.
She was scolded for being disappointing, because she was a daughter.
"If you were a son, I wouldn't be suffering like this now!!"
This is the sentence the original owner heard most often from childhood to adulthood.
The original owner's father disliked her because she was a daughter, and after having a son, he paid even less attention to her.
Even though he saw that she was injured, he couldn't be bothered to pay her any attention.
The original owner's father spent his days indulging in debauchery, which made Li Xiaofang feel bad, but she didn't dare to be angry with him. Her illegitimate son was protected by the whole family, so she didn't dare to do anything to him.
So the unfortunate original owner became her punching bag.
Fortunately, the original owner's grandfather treated her fairly well.
When Li Xiaofang hit her again, her grandfather happened to see it.
After that, the original owner was rarely beaten by her mother.
The year the original owner was in junior high school, Lin Xi's adoptive parents had their own child, so Lin Xi was brought back, but under the guise of being an adopted daughter.
Lin Xi was naturally aware of her own identity.
From the time she was old enough to understand, she knew that she had been adopted.
When she returned to the Mu family home, she discovered that they lived in a large villa, and that there was clearly an older sister of similar age in the family, but it was she who had been sent away. She began to feel resentful.
Why is it that, even though they are both daughters, the original owner was able to grow up in such a privileged environment, while she lived in such an ordinary family?
She began to secretly hate the original owner of this body.
Lin Xi was spoiled and arrogant, and her parents didn't like her at first. The turning point came one night.
Lin Xi hid in her room, crying as she packed her things.
She said she wanted to leave the Mu family and go wandering.
Lin Xi said she could feel that her parents and grandfather did not love her. She knew that she had not received a good education since childhood and was not liked by others.
It was all her fault; she didn't want to embarrass her parents.
Watching the little girl obediently pack her luggage, Li Xiaofang felt a mix of emotions.
Perhaps it is because distance makes the fragrance, while closeness only allows one to smell the dust, that her maternal love overflowed instantly.
She already felt indebted to the child, and now that she had finally brought her back, she could only treat her as an adopted daughter, which made her feel even more sorry for her.
Finally, Lin Xi threw herself into her arms and wept bitterly.
She recounted the grievances she had suffered over the years.
She knew from a young age that she wasn't biologically related to her parents, and her classmates bullied her because she didn't have any. To avoid being bullied, she deliberately made people think she had a bad temper.
She had become accustomed to using this method to disguise herself and couldn't change it overnight.
Hearing her say this, Li Xiaofang and her husband felt even more distressed.
The original owner was also there at the time, and she was heartbroken by her younger sister's plight.
Although she herself was living in dire straits, she was still by her parents' side.
The original owner thought that since she was the older sister, she must take good care of her younger sister in the future.
But she never expected that everything would change from that day on.
Lin Xi is even better at being charming than the original owner of this body.
Although she has a bad temper and is prone to losing her temper, she knows how to handle things well, and afterwards her parents always feel more sorry for her.
The original owner gradually began to discover that Li Xiaofang, who was always harsh to her, could also show concern and care for Lin Xi like a mother.
He cares about Lin Xi's health, cooks porridge for her, and even cuddles with her while shopping.
Even her father, who always glared at her at home, would smile at Lin Xi.
Even her grandfather, who had once given her warmth, began to side with Lin Xi without asking why when she and Lin Xi had a conflict.
Originally, these things only made the original owner feel a little sad.
But I didn’t think much about it.
She knew she wasn't popular, and it was normal that everyone liked her younger sister.
But as one thing after another happened, the original owner finally realized that Lin Xi was deliberately targeting her.
The original owner had a set of Cinderella stationery.
That was a birthday gift from her parents.
It was also the last gift she received from her parents.
Afterwards, the arrival of her illegitimate child changed her parents beyond recognition.
She cherished this gift, as if having this set of stationery allowed her to convince herself that her parents still loved her.
But Lin Xi destroyed that set of stationery.
She witnessed Lin Xi forcefully throw them to the ground and stomp on them.
She ran over to question Lin Xi, who was destroying stationery just a second ago, but the next second she could innocently say that the things were already broken when she arrived and that it had nothing to do with her.
The original owner was stunned for a moment.
She saw it with her own eyes...
No one believed her.
That was the first time the original owner had seen that kind of secret smugness on Lin Xi's face.
The original owner had to console himself.
She thought that Lin Xi hadn't grown up with her parents since she was little. Perhaps she couldn't accept it after learning that it was a birthday gift her parents had bought for her, which is why she did something wrong.
They are both their parents' daughters, but Lin Xi has things that she doesn't, so it's normal for Lin Xi to be angry.
Thinking this way, the original owner finally comforted herself and hid all her sadness and sorrow.
If the stationery is gone, it's gone.
But then, one such thing after another happened.
Finally, they broke off all pretense of civility.
Lin Xi denounced her as hypocritical and disgusting.
"You've enjoyed all of this, so you owe me! You'll always owe me, and I'm going to take back everything that's rightfully mine!"
The original owner didn't understand why she was the one to bear all this malice.
She was clearly a victim too.
She clearly had no choice.
But Lin Xi only directed all her anger at her.
I will take everything from you!
This sentence is like a curse.
The original owner ultimately lost everything.
In this oppressive life, the original owner fell in love with Shen Yan.
This neighbor, who is only one year older than her.
At first, I envied him for having loving parents; later, I admired his intelligence.
What truly made her fall for him was the day the original owner turned eighteen.
