Chapter 205 Novice Mission 204
Yuan Xiaoling didn't understand why her mother said this when she clearly didn't see anything. She knew her brother didn't bother to say anything about it, but her mother always told her this.
It seemed that in her mother's eyes, what happened between her and her brother was not important. She really wanted to ask her why she gave birth to her. Was her existence just to highlight her brother's important position in the family?
Yuan Xiaoling stood beside her mother, staring blankly ahead, her thoughts drifting away. Various scenes from her childhood kept replaying in her mind.
When my brother was little, whenever he wanted something, Mom would always give it to him without hesitation. Whether it was a toy, a snack, or a beautiful piece of clothing, Mom would go out of her way to buy it for him. Even when he didn't need anything, Mom and Dad would always think about whether he needed it first.
Even if Yuan Xiaoling asked for something, her parents would first ask her brother if he wanted it. If there was only one item, her brother would have to tell her he didn't need it before they would give it to her.
As she grew older, this situation did not change. Her brother continued to enjoy the family's love and attention, while Yuan Xiaoling was gradually marginalized. She began to wonder if she was really not good enough and why she could never get the attention of her family.
However, what made Yuan Xiaoling feel even more lost was that when she had conflicts with her brother, her family always stood on her brother's side without hesitation.
Regardless of whether the matter was right or wrong, they all thought that their brother was right, and Yuan Xiaoling became the one being blamed.
Yuan Xiaoling felt extremely wronged and helpless, and she didn't know how to deal with such a situation.
She didn't dare to communicate with her family because every time she wanted to say something, her mother would tell her to give in to her brother. It was really funny. Why did she have to give in to her brother?
Gradually, the relationship between Yuan Xiaoling and Yuan Xiaofeng became worse and worse. But Yuan Xiaoling couldn't let her parents know. Yuan Xiaoling was still polite to her brother in front of her parents, but behind her parents' backs, Yuan Xiaoling didn't want to show any good face to her brother.
Yuan Xiaoling was no longer as cheerful and lively as before, but had withdrawn into herself, unwilling to confide in her family. Although she appeared to be the quiet and gentle daughter in front of her parents, in reality, Yuan Xiaoling felt that she no longer had any value in this family and was just a dispensable supporting role.
"Why is it always my brother who's my first choice?" Yuan Xiaoling silently asked herself, tears streaming down her cheeks. She quickly wiped them away, hiding them from her mother. Yuan Xiaoling felt lonely and helpless, as if the world had abandoned her. She longed for her family's love and support, but reality was so cruel.
Yuan Xiaoling sighed deeply. She knew she couldn't go on like this. She would make her parents regret their decision. She was the one who was blessed with everything. Her brother was nothing. Thinking of this, Yuan Xiaoling suddenly felt reborn, her eyes gleaming with life.
Yuan Xiaoling said to her mother, "Mom, let me fly the kite." When her mother heard that Yuan Xiaoling wanted to fly the kite, she handed her the spool of thread and said, "Be careful this time. Don't let it get caught in other kites."
Taking the spool of thread from her mother, Yuan Xiaoling replied, "Mom, I understand."
"Your classmate's family has some pretty good craftsmanship. Just now, the kite broke, and they fixed it in such a short time and are still able to fly it." Yuan Xiaoling's mother thought Xiaoling's family was quite capable. Although they had broken the kite, she didn't hold it against them because they had fixed it.
Yuan Xiaoling didn't expect her mother to mention Xu Yingying's family, so she answered perfunctorily, "Yes."
At this moment, Xu Yingying had returned to Li Zhiqiang and Li Tongxin. As soon as Li Tongxin saw her cousin, she stepped forward and looked her up and down, as if trying to discern something from her. Her eyes were filled with concern and worry, as if Xu Yingying had just been through a fierce battle and needed her careful inspection for injuries.
Seeing her cousin so concerned about her, Xu Yingying couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. Xu Yingying knew that Li Tongxin had always cared about her, and this kind of family affection made her feel extremely warm. However, facing Li Tongxin's actions, Xu Yingying did not stop her. She knew that this was Li Tongxin's care and concern for her, so how could she bear to refuse? So, Xu Yingying smiled and let Li Tongxin look at her carefully, her eyes shining with gratitude.
"Did you see clearly? Am I back safe and sound?" Xu Yingying said to Li Tongxin with a smile.
Li Tongxin nodded gently, then suddenly hugged Xu Yingying, tears of excitement streaming down her face: "Cousin Yingying, you are finally back! I was so worried about you..."
"Silly girl, why are you crying? I'm standing here just fine." Xu Yingying gently patted Li Tongxin's back and comforted her.
"As soon as you left just now, I regretted it. I should have gone with you." Li Tongxin said self-reproachfully.
"You still don't trust your cousin's ability?" Xu Yingying smiled casually.
"Of course I believe you, but I'm just worried that you will be bullied by them." Li Tongxin said in a low voice.
Li Zhiqiang on the side couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Tong Xin is really worried about you. I asked her to fly the kite while waiting for you to come back, but she refused. She said she had to wait for you to come back before she would fly the kite."
Xu Yingying felt a warmth in her heart after hearing this, and she looked at Li Tongxin with emotion: "Tongxin, thank you for caring about me so much. However, I have the ability to protect myself, so you don't have to worry."
Li Tongxin wiped her tears and said firmly: "Cousin Yingying, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be by your side."
Xu Yingying smiled and nodded in agreement. She knew that Li Tongxin cared about her sincerely, and this friendship made her feel extremely warm.
"Silly girl, I have to see her every day when I go to school. Can you still accompany me to school?" Xu Yingying asked with a smile.
"Well, I don't care. Anyway, I..." Before Li Tongxin finished speaking, Xu Yingying interrupted, "I know everything. Thank you, cousin." After that, Xu Yingying hugged Li Tongxin tightly.
Looking at the two children hugging each other, Li Zhiqiang knew that at this age, they need to face some things by themselves. As a parent, he should take a step back, pay attention to whether they encounter any difficulties, and give them advice when appropriate.
