But you’re a woman too, yet in every way you fall short of my sister. So, you can’t stand me being good to my sister, can’t stand my family being good to her. Wang Pan, tell me, why is your heart so sharp, like the point of a needle?"
"You’re wrongfully accusing me!"
Wang Pan defended herself.
"Accusing you? Are you sure I’m accusing you? When you first started college, you and my sister were friends. But after you married me, your attitude toward her changed. Wang Pan, can you swear you weren’t jealous of my sister, and that’s why every time you saw her, you just wanted to pick a fight and make her miserable?"
Kang Guoan sneered at this: "Before marrying me, my sister, considering our relationship, gave you plenty of gifts—and not cheap ones either. If you didn’t like her, why take her gifts?"
"She was just pitying me! Besides, do I need her crappy gifts?!" Wang Pan’s face changed, and she said, "I’m the only child my parents have, they always got me whatever I wanted. I’ve never needed anyone to pity me. Yet your sister always seems to cross my line—who the hell does she think she’s pitying?"
"You’re simply unreasonable!"
Kang Guoan clenched his hands at his sides and said, "Tomorrow is my grandpa’s big birthday. If you don’t want to take part, just stay in our room, don’t go out. Also, before the New Year, you’d better manage your expressions and put a lock on your mouth. Otherwise, once we get back to North City, we’ll go straight to the divorce office!"
"You..."
Wang Pan was in disbelief.
"I’m not bluffing—later you can tell your family everything I said today. I’ll wait for them to come argue with me." With that, Kang Guoan opened the door and walked out.
Now the room was left with only Wang Pan. She stood there for a while, then slammed the door shut and sat on the edge of the bed, silently crying.
But who was she really angry at?
There are five daughters-in-law in the family. Except her, the others all get along well, not only with each other but with everyone else in the family. She alone can’t fit in. Wang Pan couldn’t figure out what was wrong with her.
Could it really be, just like Kang Guoan said, that she’s jealous of Kang Li? That’s why she can’t see anyone else in the family, treating Kang Li like an enemy—and every time they meet, she has to sling some sharp words?
But what was there to be jealous about? Back in college, she knew she couldn’t compare—it’s not just grades, even looks and demeanor, she was nowhere near her.
If they’re really put side by side, would that be anything but humiliating herself?
