Chapter 828

For years, her youngest daughter’s coldness had made Mother Li feel deeply wronged and aggrieved. As a mother, her children were all pieces of her own flesh; what was wrong with caring for her eldest daughter? Was she at fault? She was only a mother. A mother caring for her own child was a matter of principle, a natural human emotion. Yet, in her youngest daughter’s eyes, this natural human emotion was a betrayal. Because of the eldest, she had supposedly betrayed the youngest. And so, beyond withholding her monthly allowance, she had even stopped buying her new clothes for the changing seasons. Who knew how much she had suffered? Even if she did favor her eldest, she had still raised her youngest. She was still her mother, and she had given her the gift of life and upbringing. By what right was the youngest refusing to be filial? That wretched girl was simply an unfilial daughter. Her previous displays of filial piety must have been a pretense; now that she had played the part long enough, she no longer cared to keep up the act.
