Chapter 632: Liu Ling was made the cannon fodder of life (17)
Luo Ning couldn’t help but smile at him helplessly.
“You and Aunt Luo don’t have to be treated like old oxen in the countryside, getting up early and staying up late with endless chores, often getting beaten and scolded, going hungry and cold. The key point is you almost drowned or burned to death, which is why you can say such things.”
“But my sister and I don’t want to die, and the decision to split from the family was the desire of everyone in the Luo Family, so Uncle Luo doesn’t have to make excuses for them.”
“As for recognizing them as family, we truly dare not.”
“After all, I’ve grown up for sixteen years, but the ti I’ve spent with you, my biological parents, I’m afraid doesn’t even add up to a total of one year. So, we’re really not close.”
These words caused Director Yu and several group leaders to cast sympathetic glances at Luo Ning.
Having such a scumbag father and Grandma, and aunts like that, the two sisters were indeed unlucky.
In those years, it was common for the whole family to live together; splitting was not popular.
Yet the young girl and her sister were separated out and had their ties cut, which was truly a bit tragic.
They all believed Luo Ning’s words, mainly because the content of the breakup letter, with its signed nas and fingerprints, was evidence.
Especially the stamp from the brigade, which couldn’t be faked.
Moreover, Group Leader Luo had worked at the machinery factory for over a decade, but they had never seen his two daughters, only his two sons and younger sister.
This really spoke volus.
Father Luo’s complexion changed, and then he tried to put on the appearance of a loving father.
He sighed, “We really didn’t expect your Grandma and Aunt Luo to be like that, otherwise we would have taken you and Wuya to live in the county.”
In order not to leave a bad impression on Director Yu and his colleagues, he didn’t hesitate to throw Grandma and Luo Zhu under the bus.
Luo Ning looked puzzled, “But when you and Aunt Luo ca to see us right after Wuya and I left the family, you didn’t say that!”
“You told us to never co looking for you, that we deserved to be cut off for offending Aunt Luo and Grandma Luo, and to starve to death for all you cared.”
“In the past, whenever you ca back to the old ho each month or during festivals, you saw my sister and working all day. When it ca to dividing up food, we received the least, and were scolded daily by Grandma Luo and Aunt Luo, yet you just watched indifferently.”
“My sister and I only wore clothes picked up from what others in the household had discarded and thrown away. Each ti you returned, you would only buy new clothes for Aunt Luo and give money to several nephews, while we sisters never received a cent.”
“From the ti we were little, my sister and I not only never ate at but we didn’t even have a single egg, while Aunt Luo could eat eggs every day, and she ate the most at.”
“Aunt Luo, my brothers, and my younger brother would often wear new clothes, and they could eat candy and drink malted milk,”
“These were all bought by you, yet we sisters could only watch.”
“My brothers would curse at us on sight, calling us a loss-making burden.”
“Back then, my sister even secretly asked if we were adopted because Aunt Luo seed like the real child of our parents. Otherwise, why didn’t they care about us at all?”
Her eyes reddened suddenly, and she looked at Father Luo with a vulnerable and pitiful expression, asking, “Actually, this question is sothing I’ve really wanted to ask too. Uncle Luo, can you tell now?”
They were still in the workshop, so there were workers busy all around.
Hearing Luo Ning’s words, each one pricked up their ears to listen.
After listening, they couldn’t help but feel sympathy for the Luo sisters; it was just too pitiable.
The parents were both working, yet since childhood, they never even had eggs or at, which was even worse than the life of a maidservant in a landlord’s ho.
Everyone looked at Father Luo again, their eyes filled with even deeper contempt.
Most of these people also favored sons over daughters, but they would never go as far as to abuse their daughters. A full stomach and warm clothes are the bare minimum, right?
The Luo Group Leader and his wife treat their own daughter so poorly, yet they’re excessively good to her younger sister—it’s like they are sick or sothing.
Everyone there simply couldn’t understand it.
With faces turning almost green from the disdainful looks cast his way, Father Luo wondered when this damned girl had beco so sharp-tongued?
Suppressing the urge to slap Luo Ning, he said with a forced smile, “I know you sisters have grievances against us—your parents, but you can’t just make stuff up!”
Luo Ning shrank her neck, “We wouldn’t dare to have any grievances; otherwise, we’d get beaten.”
Her voice quivered as she continued, “I only had the good fortune to work at the machinery factory because I saved an Uncle’s life. But Grandma Luo and the others disagreed, and they even ca to my door a few days ago, pressuring to give up my job position.”
“I disagreed, after all, it had already been settled—how could it be changed? And if I don’t work, my sister and I will starve.”
“So, Grandma Luo, Aunt Luo, and a few aunts were very angry and beat and my sister together.
She rolled up her sleeves to reveal a pair of hands that had been made up in the morning, covered with purple bruises, clearly showing signs of having been violently beaten.
Once again, this elicited everyone’s sympathy.
It turned out she had been arranged to work there after saving soone—surely that soone must be an important figure, otherwise how could she get such a good position right away and even have the director personally accompany her.
The Luo Group Leader’s family was really indecent; they pushed soone out of the family with a breakup letter, didn’t care if they starved without any benefits, and wouldn’t let them return.
Now that there was a benefit, they rushed to the door demanding she give up such a good job. If she disagreed, they’d resort to beating her—that’s not sothing from the old society, to still have such occurrences.
Luo Ning added with a cry in her voice, “The whole village knows what my sister and I have been through—they can all testify. So, I’m not making things up.”
“There’s even a seal from the brigade on the breakup letter, and my sister’s and my household registrations have been moved out to form separate households. If it weren’t true, the brigade leader and others wouldn’t have agreed to it.”
Everyone listening all nodded in agreent—unless it was unbearable to live at ho, it was unlikely that the village brigade leader would have consented.
The whole village could testify; there was no doubt that the girl wasn’t lying.
Moreover, the girl was pale and thin, dressed in clothes that revealed she had not lived well before.
Seeing her hands covered in bruises from the beating, no one there believed she was making it up.
Father Luo: “…” Why hadn’t he known this damned girl could act so well before?
But, considering his daughter’s previous weakness and the stronger impression of being yelled at by his birth mother and sister, he actually had started to believe Luo Ning’s words at this mont—after all, such severe injuries on the hands couldn’t have been self-inflicted.
Plus, a job at the machinery factory—he knew perfectly well that his mother and the rest would not let it go once they knew.
For the first ti, he felt resentful towards his own mother and sister—after all, they had already severed familial ties, so why did they bother to do such things and leave such a huge vulnerability?
Faced with Luo Ning’s questioning, he was both angry and embarrassed.
This damned girl, no matter what, they had raised her—how could she be so deceitful?
Luo Ning, seeing his embarrassnt and darkened face, felt delighted inside.
Coming here today and making a scene was designed not only to tarnish the reputation of scumbag dad and scumbag mom, but it was also to guard against them coming back later wanting to leech off her.
Knowing what they were like, if she hadn’t taken the initiative today, they would have surely gone to the factory to badmouth her first, and then co knocking at her door.
People at the factory, who were unaware, would take their side first and think her unfilial.
But now, with this scene, everyone would firstly see her as vulnerable and pitiful. Scumbag dad and scumbag mom were unfit to be parents. In the future, it would be hard for them to sar her.
Based on the original host’s mories, she even discovered that in two months, scumbag dad would be promoted to workshop deputy director. With her exposure, she did not believe he could still get the position.
