"Mom, why do you have to ask her to take care of me when you can't ask anyone else to do so?" Ji Yueling couldn't help but say, the smile on her face had completely disappeared, "Besides, I have someone to take care of me, so you don't need to bother her. You can take her back!"

Ji's mother's face darkened: "How can you be so selfish, kid? Xiaofang's family is in trouble, how can you, as a cousin, just ignore it?"

"Why should I care about her? I'm not her mother!" Ji Yueling felt wronged and her voice was choked.

Seeing this, Zheng Juzi hurried forward to smooth things over: "Auntie, Sister Ji just gave birth to a child and needs to rest well. We will take care of her, don't worry."

Mother Ji was relentless: "You are outsiders, how can you be taken care of as well as your family? Yueling, you have been a good person since you were young, and you can endure any hardship. Why are you so spoiled now? You cry easily, and people who don't know would think that you have suffered a great injustice here."

"No matter what, you can't be without someone to take care of you during your confinement. I feel relieved to have your family around."

"Mom!" Ji Yueling finally couldn't help crying out loud, "Am I not your biological daughter? Why do you always ask me to take care of others but don't care about my feelings?!"

"Why didn't I consider your feelings? I was worried that you couldn't take care of the child by yourself, so I found someone you can rely on." Mother Ji thought she was too naive. "How can you be so naive as a mother?"

Sensible? Why should she be sensible? She has always been not very smart, not as good as her older brothers, but she has always been praised for being sensible.

She doesn't want to be sensible.

She has been jealous of her cousin Kang Minfang since she was a child.

She looks better than me, speaks more pleasantly than me, and has better academic performance than me. The adults like her, and the boys in the village also like to be around her.

Although Kang Minfang's mother died early, Ji's mother loved her even more than her own daughter.

Ji's father favors boys over girls and only cares about his older and younger brothers. Ji's mother prefers his cousin and thinks that she needs more care since her biological mother is no longer around.

Although Ji Yueling is strong and capable of working, she is always ignored, as if her efforts are taken for granted. Compared with her cousin, her only advantage is that she is sensible.

After joining the army, she felt that life in the army was very good, but she couldn't stay.

When she returned home, her cousin already had a formal job and a good husband. When Kang Minfang appeared at her house with her husband and children, it was as if that was her home and she was a guest.

The job he was assigned after he was discharged from the army was not good and his salary was often not paid. Kang Minfang always showed off in front of her.

Showing off her work.

Showing off her man and kids.

She was more showing off that Ji's mother treated her better than herself.

As she got older, no one arranged a marriage for her, her job became unstable, her temper became bad, and she even lost her good character of being sensible.

Fortunately, Luo Cheng came and asked her if she wanted to change her job and become a bodyguard for the two girls.

What she thought at the time was that as long as the other party provided her with food and lodging and allowed her to leave home, she would work for them. She didn't expect that the other party would actually ask her how much salary she wanted.

She didn't know how much she was worth, so she wanted a higher salary than her cousin. Unexpectedly, the two bosses agreed without even thinking about it.

When she received her first month's salary, she sent it all home. She wanted to tell her mother that she was no worse than her cousin.

But Juzi told her that money should not be spent like that. A few dozen dollars would not make a difference, but hundreds of dollars during the Chinese New Year would make people shocked.

She thought it would take her a year to save a few hundred dollars, but the factory gave her a lot of bonuses before the New Year.

It feels like as long as she is with Zheng Juzi, the ideals she talked about will be easily realized.

Pei Xiangdong also asked her to accompany him home as a pretend girlfriend and gave her money and a bicycle.

Later, she and Pei Xiangdong really got married, and all his money was under her control. She suddenly had thousands of dollars in her hands.

Although Pei Xiangdong didn't care how she spent money, Juzi reminded her that they had their own family and they should pay attention to each other's feelings when spending money and not only care about her parents' family and ignore her own family.

More importantly, learn to plan your future life.

No one ever told her that she could plan for the future. All she had heard since she was a child was that the future was about getting married and having children. So when people around her said that she would never get married, she was very anxious.

She is already an ordinary person. If she can't follow the ordinary path that everyone says, what will she do in the future?

After getting to know Zheng Juzi, she felt everything was easy.

She has a man and a salary. Orange taught her how to spend money, buy a house, and make the simplest investments. No one laughs at her for being simple-minded and unfeminine anymore.

She took her to buy stones to try her luck, and they made more than 100,000 yuan in one go. It was too much money and she was embarrassed to take it, but Zheng Juzi said that it was her good luck and belonged to her.

She wanted to continue buying stones to make money, but Zheng Juzi told her that playing occasionally was a way to spice up her life, but if she became a gambler, her life would be ruined.

When opening this small machinery factory, she knew that Zheng Juzi wanted to attract men to form a partnership, so she gave her the opportunity to invest money, taught her how to read contracts, how to look at accounts, and how to be a partner...making her feel good about herself.

Worth cherishing.

Over the years, Ji Yueling seldom returned home for long periods of time, and the unpleasant memories of the past gradually faded away as her current life got better.

However, Ji's mother's arrival today brought back those past events.

"Why?" Ji Yueling roared in her heart, "Why doesn't a mother favor her own child, but loves other people's children? Why do I always have to give in to my cousin?!"

She didn't want to tolerate it anymore.

I don’t need any high-sounding reasons, I just don’t want to!

Her newborn child is the one who needs care the most, but she has to give in to the person she hates the most. Is this what a biological mother would say?

"Yueling, how can you be so selfish?" Ji's mother didn't expect her to be so emotional, and she scolded her harshly, "Minfang is so pitiful. She lost her mother when she was young. You should be more considerate of her and take better care of her."

"Why?" Ji Yueling retorted, her voice trembling with anger, "I am your biological daughter! I just gave birth to a child, shouldn't you let me go?"

"You have always been so strong and you can handle anything." Ji's mother sighed, "Minfang is more fragile than you and needs more care."

"So I deserve to suffer?" Ji Yueling burst into tears, "Have you never thought that I also need your care?"

Zheng Juzi couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to defend her friend: "Auntie, Sister Ji is not feeling well today, why don't we talk about it in two days?"

"What do you know?" Ji's mother turned to Zheng Juzi, "You young people are too selfish and only care about yourselves."

"It's not selfish to care about people who are close to you." Zheng Juzi said firmly, "It's human nature. What Sister Ji needs most now is your simplest care. She can be selfish."
