After the other brothers of the Luo family got married, they could not get much land and their lives were extremely difficult. Naturally, they began to complain about their biased parents.

Although Luo Yue's family lived in poverty, at least they had enough food to eat and could afford tuition fees. Unlike the children of the other brothers, who had difficulty even getting enough food, owed tuition fees, and were called on by the teacher every day to go home and ask their parents for money to pay tuition fees.

Twenty years later, when Luo's father needed support in his old age, he demanded that the inheritance must be divided equally with his other brothers, passing the buck.

If parents are not kind, their children will be unfilial.

The result of not treating everyone equally is that no one is willing to provide for their parents in their old age, and they still live in dilapidated, leaky thatched huts. Whoever family's turn it is will send their children to deliver meals to them.

Grandma Luo gave birth to too many children and had poor health. She died of illness in her early sixties, leaving only Grandpa Luo to live alone for many years.

When the Chinese New Year came and it was Luo Yue's turn to deliver food to Grandpa Luo, she found that he had already died alone in the house. It was unknown how long he had been starving to death.

Luo Yue passed by her grandparents' land and saw them working in the field with their faces to the earth and their backs to the sky.

Years of hard work have made their backs hunched and their hair gray early. They wear a worn towel around their necks to wipe their foreheads when they sweat, and they work hard.

Luo Yue stopped and looked at the two elders, then walked away quickly, pretending not to see them.

The two elders also favored boys over girls and liked Luo Yaozu but not her.

Whenever she went to her grandparents' house during the holidays, she could only stand in the corner, watching pitifully as they scrambled to stuff red envelopes into Luo Yaozu's pockets and put delicious food into his trouser pockets.

In fact, Grandma Luo gave birth to not only six children, but eight. Two of them were baby girls who were thrown into a urine bucket and drowned by Grandpa Luo as soon as they were born.

Of the two surviving aunts, one was sold in exchange for a dowry to help Luo Laosan marry a wife, and was abused by her husband every day.

Another one was married off to Luo Laowu in exchange for a wife. Her husband indulged in drinking, whoring and gambling, and had to support his mother-in-law and the family alone. He was tortured beyond recognition.

Luo Yue doesn't even recognize her own parents now, let alone such grandparents. They deserve to have a miserable old age and die a bad death.

Grandma Luo felt dizzy from the scorching sun above her head. She straightened up and wanted to rest for a while. She happened to catch a glimpse of the receding back and was stunned for a moment. "Old man, is that the girl from the old family?"

Grandpa Luo then stopped the hoe in his hand and looked over, his face gloomy with displeasure, "The little girl looked at us and acted as if she didn't see us. She doesn't bring honor to our ancestors at all."

Grandma Luo also felt a little strange. In the past, this girl would call them when she saw them from a distance, and would also bring water to them when she delivered water to the eldest brother. But this time, why did she seem not to see them when she passed by the field?

Grandpa Luo was about to continue working, but he saw Grandma Luo sitting on the ground to rest. He immediately frowned and scolded her, "You old woman, you are getting lazier and lazier. You only did a little work in the whole morning, and you have been lazy and resting. If you continue like this, how can the sixth son get married?"

It is not easy for them to raise several children.

Now the sixth child is the only one in the family who has not married.

Apart from paying a little dowry for the eldest son's wife, he spent almost no money on the third and fifth sons' wives. If he had known earlier, he should have left behind an extra daughter.

Now he and the old woman can only rely on working in the fields for a living, and he doesn't know when he will be able to find a wife for the sixth child.

Usually, when Grandpa Luo's voice was a little louder, Grandma Luo would be scared to death, but today she still sat on the ground without moving, looking at him with a painful face, "Old man, my stomach hurts so badly."
