Chapter 176

Although a bit unfamiliar, they were still family after all. Li Yao treated He Shiyou very well, letting Da Zhuang arrange a guest room for him, meaning he should stay for a few days since it was rare for him to come.

Seeing Li Yao was quite easy to talk to, He Shiyou naturally did not stand on ceremony and settled down to stay, waiting for He Xiaoya to talk to Li Yao about her two elder brothers.

But after waiting for two days without any movement, He Shiyou was very unhappy.

That day, after Li Yao went out, he called He Xiaoya from the room.

"Did you talk about what I told you to?"

"No."

"You didn't say it?" He Shiyou's face instantly became very ugly. "You're my daughter, now you don't even listen to me anymore?"

"I already said, if you want it said, say it yourself." He Xiaoya said.

"You... you're deliberately trying to anger me to death, aren't you?" He Shiyou suddenly raised his voice and said loudly, "I raised you with great difficulty, feeding you, clothing you, taking care of you. Now that you've married well, you don't even look at me as your father anymore, right?"

"That's right, you raised me up," He Xiaoya said, "But ever since I married into the Wang family, have you still treated me as your daughter? At my wedding, it was the village aunties who sent me over. You must have felt that I married into this ravine and brought you shame!"

"On the day Da Zhuang and I returned home after the wedding... you had closed the gates tightly, making us wait outside until after noon before opening the door."

"Not a bite of food, not a drop of water, not even a stool to sit on. You made Da Zhuang and I sit on the rocks in the yard..."

"Luckily Da Zhuang is a kind fool. After getting money, he still hauled a cart of gifts to give you."

"Yet you've been here three days, and haven't even glanced at your granddaughter once!"

"Is this how you act as a father?"

He Xiaoya was uneducated and ineloquent, she just honestly poured out the words that had been pent up in her heart.

But He Shiyou just coldly laughed and said, "Don't forget, you've only given birth to a daughter for the Wang family!"

"So what of it?"

"What do you mean so what? The Wangs are so wealthy now, who knows if they'll divorce you one day to find a new wife who can bear sons! When that time comes, don't come crying back to us, begging us to support you!"

He Xiaoya almost wanted to laugh.

Why did every father and mother feel that a married out daughter must rely on her natal family for support, otherwise she'd be bullied terribly by her in-laws? That she couldn't get by otherwise?

That might be true for others, but certainly not He Xiaoya.

Her mother-in-law, Da Zhuang, and several younger brothers all treated her very well, even better than her own birth parents and siblings.

"I don't need anyone to support me." He Xiaoya said. "Even if I did, it would be my mother-in-law and Da Zhuang supporting me. Don't trouble yourself over it."

As soon as He Shiyou heard this, he was so angry that his whiskers shot up. "I... I really raised you for nothing!"

"How could you have raised me for nothing?" He Xiaoya said. "During the new year and festivals, Da Zhuang and I still give you gifts and pay our respects, and we give more than anyone else too."
