Chapter 455: Drawing the Short Straw

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Her husband was a drug addict, a lunatic when high. His words were enough to send shivers down anyone’s spine. But Mrs. Wang was no simpleton either. She yearned for an escape, always on the lookout for an opportunity, until she met Yang Tao.

In no time, they began a romantic relationship, and soon found the perfect chance. Mrs. Wang left her former husband and fled with Yang Tao to Daqing Village.

At first, Mrs. Wang thought she had struck gold. Daqing Village was more prosperous and flat than her hometown, and it was much closer to the city. Moreover, she was three years older than Yang Tao, who was obedient to her. Yang Tao worked outside, earning money, and she didn’t have to lift a finger.

However, not long after the birth of their son, she began to feel that she had drawn the short straw. She slowly realized that Yang Tao was not as wealthy as he claimed. He was just an ordinary farmer, a slacker during his school days who had learned nothing of value. Now, he worked outside, primarily on construction sites.

What bothered her most was that the money Yang Tao earned was not entirely spent on her. He had a mother and a younger sister still in school. Half of the sister’s tuition was paid by Yang Tao, and the other half came from the money left after their stepfather’s death. Moreover, this sister was kind-hearted and good-natured.

But she was jealous of this sister. She began to whisper in Yang Tao’s ear, “She’s not your real sister. Why should you support someone else’s daughter? Your mother is just using you, making you work for your sister.

“Look at how biased your mother is, how much she dotes on your sister. Isn’t it just menstrual pain? She massages her stomach, boils brown sugar water and cooks eggs for her. Anyone would think your family is rich!

“You work so hard outside every day, but your mother never shows you this much concern. Your sister is of age now, she should be getting married after graduating from high school. You should ask for a higher bride price…”

Mrs. Wang was skilled at manipulating men, and Yang Tao believed her words. Gradually, he began to distance himself from his mother and sister, and eventually, he even refused to pay for his sister’s education.
