covet her

Chapter 140 I'm Sorry

Because she gave birth to a daughter, Lin Shixi followed her mother's surname. After a few years, Jiang Zonghuai and Lin Miao divorced. Because Lin Miao's mental and physical conditions were not in good condition, and her family conditions were far behind. Not as good as the Jiang family, so the daughter was naturally sentenced to Jiang Zonghuai.

After that, Jiang Zonghuai married another wife and had children, but the two children he gave birth to were still daughters. Not surprisingly, he divorced again, and both daughters were given to the woman.

Jiang Zonghuai gave up so far, and adopted a boy from the elder brother of the Jiang family, and raised him as his own son.

It is said that people have no memory before the age of three or four, but Lin Shixi remembers things very early, even remembering what happened when she was one or two years old.

At that time, Jiang Zonghuai and Lin Miao hadn't divorced yet, because Jiang Zonghuai's concept of wanting his grandson to carry on the family line, Jiang Zonghuai's dissatisfaction with Lin Miao continued to escalate, and he often beat and scolded.

In Lin Shixi's memory, Jiang Zonghuai was always beating Lin Miao, without any reason, he would do it whenever he said it, and sometimes he would implicate her in beating her.

At such times, Lin Miao would always squat down and hug her daughter, block those fists and feet with her thin body, and endure them silently.

Until later, the two finally divorced, but Lin Miao couldn't take away her daughter, so Lin Shixi was left in the Jiang family, but the violence in the Jiang family never stopped.

Lin Shixi once again saw Lin Miao's story reproduced in Jiang Zonghuai's new wife.

Punching and kicking, humiliation and scolding.

The new wife has a hot temper, and her natal family has her elder brother and parents backing her up. After fighting Jiang Zonghuai with a knife without any hesitation, she immediately said that she should die quickly. Let your prince inherit the throne of your family.

Turning around, she went to go through the divorce procedures, and returned to her natal home with her two daughters.

After that, Jiang Zonghuai brought Jiang Ming from his eldest brother.

For the two elders of the Jiang family, whether Jiang Ming is the child of their eldest son or the child of the youngest son through adoption, in the final analysis, they are all their own grandchildren who are related by blood.

The attitude towards the grandson's connivance and the harshness towards the granddaughter became more and more obvious.

Lin Shixi was still too young at that time, and didn't understand the reason for this. They were also children, so why her grandparents and father had completely different attitudes towards her and her brother.

It was only later that I realized that it was all because she was a girl.

In the eyes of Jiang Zonghuai and the elders of the Jiang family, girls are not considered to be members of the Jiang family at all. They will marry sooner or later, and they will not be able to carry on the family business like boys.

After having a son, Jiang Zonghuai didn't care whether his daughter would stay in Jiang's house or not, he readily sent Lin Shixi back to Lin Miao's place, but Lin Miao died of illness not long after.

Lin Miao is a gentle woman who is almost cowardly. She married Jiang Zonghuai after listening to her brother, jumped into the fire pit, and was forced to divorce by Jiang Zonghuai. Even her daughter was taken away.

Her natal family was not a way out, but another pit of fire. After she divorced and returned to her natal family, the only thing that greeted her was harsh criticism from her brother.

She lived in the shadow of her husband and brother all her life.

The last words she left to her daughter were: "I'm sorry, mother made you a girl."

She even felt sorry for her husband, murmuring repeatedly while closing her eyes: "I'm sorry, I gave birth to a daughter."
