Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Wang Ying cared a lot about her reputation. She didn’t want everyone to know that she was abusing her younger daughter, so she bullied her younger daughter behind their backs.

Until the original owner died in her previous life, no one knew Wang Ying’s true colors.

Today she would help the Host expose this vicious woman’s fake mask of being a benevolent mother.

A cold glint flashed in Nianyang’s eyes. She shrunk her neck and looked like she was frightened. She bit her lower lip with all her might and tears welled up in her eyes. “Mom, did I say something wrong? Didn’t you slap my face? Didn’t you force me to wash my clothes last night? It was raining so heavily last night and you locked me in the courtyard and didn’t let me in. I was drenched and you didn’t care even when I kept saying that it was cold. In the end, you only carried me into the house when I fainted.”

“I know. You just don’t want me to continue studying. You want me to drop out of school to farm at home and save money for my sister to study. We’re both your daughters. Why are you so biased? Ever since I was young, no matter what food or drinks we have at home, you’ll let my sister have it. I’ve never even eaten an egg since I was young. Mom, I can tolerate all of this. I just want to study. As long as you let me continue studying, I’ll listen to everything you say. Besides, you can hit me however much you want in the future. I definitely won’t cry out loud and let the neighbors hear so as to not ruin your reputation.”

“You!” Wang Ying choked on her words. A mouthful of blood was stuck in her throat. It couldn’t go up or down. This damn b*tch had learned to complain after venting her anger. She wanted the Gu family’s reputation to be ruined!

Hearing Nianyang’s words, the neighbors’ worldview was refreshed. They did not expect Wang Ying to treat her youngest daughter like this behind their backs. Moreover, according to the second daughter of the Gu family, Wang Ying often beat her up. In order to protect her reputation, she even stopped the girl from crying.

They did not expect Wang Ying to be so vicious. Even a stepmother wouldn’t do this!

Coincidentally, Mr. Gu, Gu Yuandao, returned from work. Everyone immediately started talking.

“Uncle Gu, you’re finally back. Who’s the head of your family? Your wife even gave your second daughter a fever in order to prevent her from studying!”

“Look at the slap on your youngest daughter’s face. Nianyang is already a big girl and she’s still having a fever. Your wife can even do that. Aren’t you afraid of ruining your second daughter’s face?”

“Your second daughter and your eldest daughter are both your daughters. I usually see you guys caring for your eldest daughter. Why are you so harsh on your youngest daughter? You’re so biased!”

Gu Yuandao’s face flushed red. “Everyone, you’ve misunderstood. How can we abuse our youngest daughter? Our family has always treated everyone equally!”

As he spoke, he glared at Wang Ying secretly. What was wrong with this woman? Didn’t she usually hide her beating and scolding of their youngest daughter? Why did everyone know about it today? If word got out, would he still be able to keep his head up?

“Dad, help me persuade Mom to let me continue studying, okay? If you don’t want to spend money on me, I’m willing to reduce my portion of food by half every day and do more housework. I’ll serve you like a cow or a horse!” Nianyang stammered. Her pale lips trembled slightly. She looked delicate and pitiful, making one’s heart ache.

As for Gu Yuan, in the original owner’s memory, he was very cold to the original owner and had never cared about her. Every time Wang Ying abused the original owner, he would not join in, but he would not stop her. However, there was one thing. He worked at the farm factory in town and cared more about his reputation than Wang Ying did.

Nianyang accused Wang Ying of her evil deeds in public. She did not believe that Gu Yuandao would turn a blind eye!

The neighbors were even more supportive. They spoke up for Nianyang.

“Uncle Gu, your family doesn’t know how to do anything. That’s your biological daughter. It’s not easy to get into university these days. Who would force someone to drop out of school?”

“It’s not a famine now. You work in the factory too. Your salary is at least 40 to 50 yuan a month, right? It’s not like you can’t afford to support your daughter’s studies. The day before yesterday, I saw your wife buy three new dresses for your eldest daughter!”

“You’re treating everyone equally? Why don’t I see your wife asking your eldest daughter to drop out of school? How can you not know that your second daughter’s life is so hard? Look at how thin your second daughter is. Are you going to let your wife ruin your youngest daughter?”

Gu Yuandao was so embarrassed that he couldn’t raise his head. He wished there was a hole in the ground that he could crawl into. He couldn’t help but complain about his youngest daughter today. Wasn’t she usually very sensible? Didn’t she usually swallow all her troubles? How could she expose her mother in front of so many people?

“Yangyang, don’t spout nonsense. How can your mother not let you study? You’ve misunderstood her. Hurry up and go home with Dad.” As Gu Yuandao spoke, he was about to pull Nianyang into the house. He could not afford to lose his reputation. He had to bring her home immediately, close the door, and talk about it. No matter what, he could not publicize what happened at home!

Nianyang took a step back and shouted with a choked voice, “I’m not going home. If I go back with you, not only will you not let me continue studying, you’ll also beat me up and not give me food. I’m not afraid of being beaten up or being hungry. Anyway, I’m already used to being hungry. I’m just afraid that I won’t be able to return to school!”

“Stupid girl, do you want to die? When did I not give you food?” Wang Ying cursed. This jinx was still so arrogant when she hit her in the afternoon. Now, she knew how to pretend to be pitiful to gain sympathy.

At this moment, Gu Youlan, who had just returned from the examinations, heard the whole story. Her expression changed drastically as she quickly walked to Nianyang and held her hand. “Yangyang, what are you making a fuss about? How can Dad and Mom not let you continue studying?”
