Quick Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder's Comeback in the Era Tales

Chapter 190: Chapter 190: The Hapless Eldest Sister 4

Yuan Chun sneered, giving them a big roll of her eyes, ”Fine, if you don’t want to pick up garbage, then go hungry, huh, who doesn’t want to be clean, who doesn’t want to sleep in, who doesn’t want to wear new clothes? If it weren’t for your stomachs, would I be laughed at by others? But in the future, I will be like you, learn to be a bit more selfish, not pick up garbage, want to be clean, and don’t want to be laughed at.”

Yuan Chun spoke, then looked at Mrs. Zhong with tearful eyes, ”Mom, I’m a big girl now, I don’t want to be laughed at as a little garbage lady, I won’t pick up garbage anymore.”

”Mom, don’t sell our family’s food rations anymore. Obviously, our family has the ration for six people, it’s enough to eat, but because you sell half the rations every month, it leaves our family not full and makes us go hungry. Look how hungry we siblings are, Mom, are you really a good mom who loves us?”

Mrs. Zhong is a woman with a sweet face and a bitter heart. She might be a good mother to the other three children, but to the original character, she is a scheming wicked mother.

Every time she brought food rations home, Mrs. Zhong would sneak onto the black market, sell half of the food at a high price, and then sigh in front of the original character that there wasn’t enough food at home.

The original character, kind-hearted, couldn’t bear the thought of her younger siblings going hungry, so she would pick up garbage and coal residues to exchange for Mantou for them to eat.

Every time the original character brought Mantou back, Mrs. Zhong would take it, praise her for being a good elder sister, and then let her wash her hands.

By the time she returned from washing her hands, the Mantou had been divided among the three younger siblings.

At such times, Mrs. Zhong would take out a biscuit the size of a child’s fist and shove it to her, telling her, ”Your younger siblings were disobedient and snatched away the Mantou. I couldn’t snatch it back. This biscuit is saved from Mom’s share. Eat it quickly, don’t let your younger siblings see.”

The kind-hearted original character would always be deeply moved, feeling that her mom was truly good to her.

But the original character never thought about how those ten white flour Mantou were earned by her, not a single one touched her lips, and she was appeased with a coarse grain biscuit by her own mother.

The original character was also a fool.

Yuan Chun looked at Mrs. Zhong, her gaze filled with hurt, ”Mom, tell me, why do you sell our rations, making us go hungry? Look at me, there’s no meat on my face, I’m so thin and bony, like a worn-out beggar. Mom, does it not hurt you to see me this way?”

”I... I care about you, but I... How do you know I sold the rations, who told you?”

Mrs. Zhong seemed to snap out of the shock of her once obedient and gentle eldest daughter having changed, she gently said, ”Yuan Chun, Mom didn’t sell the rations. You all have grown up, your appetites have increased. What used to be enough is not enough now, so you feel the rations have decreased. Our family doesn’t have enough rations to eat, how could I sell them? You must have seen it wrong. Seeing you all hungry makes my heart ache, it’s my fault for being useless, not having a job, not earning more money to buy food for you.”

Tears streamed down Mrs. Zhong’s face, appearing sorrowful and self-reproaching.

”Big sister, I believe Mom. Mom loves us so much, how could she sell the rations and let us go hungry? Big sister, what’s wrong with you, how can you doubt Mom’s goodness to us?” Zhong Guoqiang said.

”Alright, let’s just say I was mistaken.” Yuan Chun knew that no one in this family would believe her words.

Since that’s the case, then forget it.

After all, if it’s a fox, the tail will eventually show.

There are only a few days left until the rations for this month are picked up.

Yuan Chun’s entire body seemed to soften, exhausted, ”Mom, I haven’t eaten all day, I’m too hungry to have any strength left. You make dinner, I’m going to lie down in my room for a while.”
