When she saw the pair, Ling’s mother’s face instantly broke into a smile.
“Ah Kai and Ah Zi, why are you here so early, young man’s, you usually work very hard, it’s not easy to have a rest day, get some more sleep.” Ling mother said with concern.
Next to her, Ling Lan was speechless in her heart as she listened.
She had known about this difference in treatment from her mother for a long time.
When she and Lu Yuan had arrived earlier, her mother had not been so concerned, but when her sister and her sister came even later than she did, her mother had said this.
But there was nothing she could do about it.
Ever since she had found a rich boyfriend, she had immediately become a favourite in her mother’s eyes.
And she has been single, plus she used to work as a journalist, her salary is not high just a few thousand, very ordinary, in the eyes of her mother, gradually become marginalized, the feeling of dispensable.
Ling Lan thinks, this is fortunate that she is a woman, in the mother’s view, there is still a possibility to marry a rich young man, so usually will occasionally look at themselves.
If she were a man, it would have been the end of the story.
But now that she had brought Lu Yuan home, I was afraid that her mother would look at her even more unfavourably.
But Ling Lan didn’t care about that either.
“Today is your birthday mum, of course we have to come early, here, this is a filial tribute to you.” Second sister said, handing the high-grade tonic like ginseng and bird’s nest that she was carrying in her hand, to Ling’s mother.
Ling’s mother’s eyes narrowed into a smile, “It’s still Ah Zi who is good to me.”
“You don’t stand here either, go to the kitchen and help mum to choose the vegetables!” Second sister nudged Kai and said.
“No no.” Ling’s mother hurriedly stopped Kai and said, “The kitchen is not a clean place, it would not be good to get Kai’s clothes dirty, besides, Kai is usually busy enough managing the company, how can he do this kind of menial work now, there is no rush, I will go and work later, you guys can just sit and chat.”
Over there, Ling Lan listened to her mother’s words, her heart was really P*ssed off all over again.
What a double standard.
Second sister’s boyfriend went to the kitchen, and her mother even stopped her from going.
But she took the initiative to order Lu Yuan to go to the kitchen to choose vegetables, both were her daughter’s boyfriends, but the difference in treatment was too great.
“Lan Lan, why don’t you hurry up and come chat with your second sister and second brother-in-law!” Ling’s mother turned around, and the tone of voice she used to speak to Ling Lan immediately changed to a parental commanding tone.
Ling Lan was uncomfortable in her heart, but etiquette naturally had to be done.
Just come over and say hello.
“What’s up with you today, the company isn’t busy anymore, you’re here so early? How’s work these days? Has the salary gone up, is it still the same as before with five thousand dollars?” When second sister saw Ling Lan, she immediately asked after her in one breath.
She seemed to be concerned, but her tone was full of sarcasm and mockery, especially when she said 5,000 yuan, she aggravated her bite, which sounded particularly harsh.
“It’s okay, I took the day off.” Ling Lan did not tell the others that she had lost her job.
This job was already looked down upon by her family, and now if she knew that she was unemployed and had no financial resources, huh, she would definitely be mocked even more.
“What is five thousand dollars a month enough for now?” Ling’s mother came in coldly from the side.
Ling Lan had to pretend she didn’t hear it.
Honestly, she was really annoyed in her heart right now.
Although she had prepared herself in her heart that she would definitely be ridiculed in various ways back home, when it came to actually facing it, it was also very difficult.
But after all, she was also a member of the family and had to come back ah.
“By the way, how much is Ah Zi earning a month now?” Ling’s mother put on a smiling face again as she spoke to her second sister.
“Me.” Second sister looked a little smug, “I can’t count on a monthly basis now, I have to count on an annual basis, about two or three hundred thousand a year!”
“Good, that’s good. You’re much better than Lan Lan!” Ling’s mother said unabashedly.
When Ling Lan heard this, she was depressed in her heart.
There was really nothing to say, to be honest, this second sister, growing up, also did not study properly, dropped out of school after high school, has been fooling around in society, also not working properly, occasionally working a shift, but only waitress cashier and so on, more than two thousand a month, not even enough for her to spend on herself.
At that time, she even asked her mother for money all the time and was scolded by her mother all the time.
Later on, she found her boyfriend, Wang Kai, whose family had some money and who ran a small trading company, which was not big enough to earn a million dollars a year.
However, the second sister went to work in Wang Kai’s company.
The job was purchasing, because it was the girlfriend of the company’s boss, the second sister’s position was naturally not low, the salary was also naturally very high.
In fact, Ling Lan knew that Second Sister had no talent at all and was just muddling through in the company.
After all, the girlfriend of the boss comes to the company to mingle and get a high salary, who dares to say anything?
In fact, Ling Lan is happy for her, after all, it’s good to be rich.
But the rich second sister, but began to look down on herself, this makes Ling Lan heart naturally very depressed.
“So you’re still renting the Liang Shan flat now?” Second sister said again.
“Right.”
Ling Lan replied mechanically, and in her heart she couldn’t help but think, if I let them know that I was now going to be evicted and didn’t know where I was going to live, I wonder what kind of expression they would have again.
“That building is quite nice.” Second sister said leisurely, “But well, you always have to spend money to live there, you shouldn’t have much left if you shave off the rent from your monthly salary.”
Ling Lan was speechless.
Second sister was right, her rent was two thousand a month, and her utilities and other things cost several hundred a month, so there really wouldn’t be much left after that.
“Then I think, why don’t you move to my house in the Sunshine District, for the sake of my sisters, I won’t charge you rent.” Second sister added.
“That won’t do, if you give her your house to live in, where will you live, Ah Zi?” Ling’s mother said hurriedly.
“It’s not like Kai and I have more than one house.” Second Sister said smugly, “Besides, Kai and I bought a villa in Teng Wang Ge last time, have you forgotten?”
Dang!
Ling Lan’s head got big when she heard this.
It wasn’t that she was jealous, it was just that this was obviously naked bragging by her second sister, and with this bragging by her second sister, then surely she would have to be despised again even.
“No way, you really bought it, huh? I heard that Teng Wang Ge Villa is a rich area, it’s very expensive, it’s remarkable!” Sure enough, once Ling’s mother heard about the villa, her excited face couldn’t help but feel excited.
“Look at you, look at you, your second sister is living in a villa, and you’re still renting a house now!” Ling’s mother said as she rushed towards Ling Lan.
Ling Lan could only sigh in her heart, she had guessed correctly, as soon as her second sister talked about villas, she was sure to be talked about.
“I, it’s all because of Kai’s light, it’s okay, take your time, maybe one day Lan Lan will find a rich boyfriend too.” Second sister said.
But in her heart, she was still very happy.
After all, the second sister and Ling Lan are about the same age, Ling Lan has good grades since she was young, and she is prettier than herself, so many people are optimistic about Ling Lan.
The second sister was not convinced but could not help it, she was not born to study, and vain to enjoy, and she could not do her job well, doing some waiter’s work every day, and was really ridiculed for a long time.
Now, she has become a rich woman, but Ling Lan is only receiving a few thousand dollars a month.
There was such a big difference, and now second sister certainly had a reason to be proud.
It was also a way to raise her eyebrows.
“A rich boyfriend, just her, forget it!” If you don’t say this, it’s okay, once you say this, Ling’s mother is angry again, “You don’t want a good Ma Hao, but you find a superficially shiny donkey dung egg, this kind of man, not to mention can make her a higher level, let her enjoy the happiness, not drag her legs is good!
“What? Lan Lan has found a boyfriend?” Second sister couldn’t help but stare, and then she became interested.
Because hearing her mother say that, she knew that this boyfriend must not be good.
“Yes.” Ling Lan said, thinking, “That’s it for me anyway, you guys can say what you like, anyway, just don’t introduce me to any of those Ma Hao and so on.
“Oh, so how come you didn’t bring home?” Second sister said eagerly again, “I’d like to have a look at it.”
Actually, she was right to want to take a look, but I’m afraid she also wanted to laugh at it.
“Here it is.” Ling’s mother said in an unpleasant voice, “But it’s in the kitchen.”
