Farming Space Makes Me Rich

Xiao Lingyu stared into An Xiaohui's eyes and said seriously, "Why don't you tell me about your problem, and maybe I can help you find a solution. Otherwise, if you continue like this, Xiao Wang will be worried, and so will I."

Xiao Lingyu and An Xiaohui were in a superior-subordinate relationship. However, in private, they were friends, and Xiaohui was Xiao Wang's girlfriend. The relationship between Xiao Wang and An Xiaohui was facilitated by Elder Gong.

Therefore, Xiao Lingyu was very concerned about An Xiaohui.

"Moreover, if you continue in this state, it might affect your work!" Xiao Lingyu said sharply, "So, you must solve your current problems as soon as possible!"

After hearing this, An Xiaohui calmed down and finally sighed deeply, "Okay."

Then, she told Xiao Lingyu that she was born into a family that prioritized sons over daughters. Then, because they did not have a son, her parents would give her nephew whatever he asked for. What was even more unbelievable was that in the future, she would be the one who would provide for her parents in their old age. However, all the property in the family would go to her nephew.

Actually, An Xiaohui did not really care about the property in the family.

However, what she cared about was that her parents didn't value her as much as her nephew. It was only because she was a daughter and her nephew was a boy.

What made her even more disappointed was that everything An Yang did was right, and everything she did was wrong.

When she got first place in the exam, she didn't see her parents' smiles or receive their praise, but when An Yang got a second place from the bottom, her parents were very happy. They even spent a lot of money buying gifts for An Yang.

When she was young, she never understood why her parents liked her cousin more than her. So, she was sad.

However, she gradually got used to it.

It wasn't until the college entrance examination that she found out her parents had hidden the offer letter that allowed An Xiaohui to sit for the exam, which made her desperate and sad.

Her parents hid her offer letter so she wouldn't go to university. If she went to university, they would have to spend money to pay for her tuition. Wouldn't it be good to keep this money for An Yang?

She exploded when she found out that her parents had hidden the offer letter.

She held a pair of scissors to her neck and threatened her parents that if they didn't give her the letter, she would die right in front of them.

That day, she caused a ruckus. When the neighbors heard the ruckus, they immediately rushed over. They found it unbelievable that the parents had hidden their daughter's offer letter. After that, they tried to persuade the parents and also blamed them.

Father An was a person who cared a lot about his face. He did not expect the consequence to be so serious when he hid the offer letter. His daughter had used her life to threaten them, and he had lost face in front of so many people.

He had no choice but to take out the offer letter.

After An Xiaohui received the letter, she thanked the neighbors and rushed to school. However, time was too tight. She could not make it in time.

A neighbor's older brother found out and drove her to the exam room. At the last minute, An Xiaohui finally arrived at the exam room.

After the first exam, An Xiaohui was afraid that her parents would hide her letter again or lock her at home. She didn't dare to go home and simply stayed at her classmates' homes. She waited until the exam was over before she dared to go home.

However, when she returned home, she was beaten up by her parents.

If the neighbors had not rushed over, she would have been beaten to death by her parents.

Hearing this, Xiao Lingyu, who had always been calm, showed faint anger on her face. She said angrily, "What era is it now? Why are your parents still so patriarchal?"

In order to give their property to their nephew, she almost beat her own daughter to death. In the past, she had only seen it in television dramas. She did not expect it to happen to her subordinates.

An Xiaohui smiled bitterly, "My parents used to live in a very feudal village. They believed that if they did not give birth to a son, they would die without a son. Then, the family roots would dry up. Therefore, families that did not give birth to a son would be criticized by the villagers.

"After I was born, my parents were criticized by the villagers. They thought that they would be able to give birth to a son in two or three years. However, after five or six years, there was no news. They were thin-skinned and did not dare to go to the hospital to have a look. However, my grandmother believed that my mother could not give birth, and my mother also believed that she could not give birth, so she looked for folk prescriptions everywhere. As long as there was a medicine that could give birth to a son, she would drink it.

"Later, a skilled doctor came to the village to give free consultations to everyone. When he diagnosed my parents, he suggested that my father goes to the hospital for a check-up. My father thought that he was suffering from some serious illness, so he quickly went to the doctor for a check-up. The result of the check-up was that my father's sperm count was too low already. He had already missed the best time for treatment. Even if he were to receive more treatment, the effect wouldn't be ideal.

"When my parents learned of this result, it was like a bolt from the blue. After that, when my grandmother and grandfather learned of this result, they immediately suggested that my parents adopt my nephew. In exchange, their family property would be given to my cousin in the future.

"Since I was a girl, I would be married off in the future. I was just an outsider. The assets of the An family would never be given to an outsider.

"My parents were guilty of not giving birth to a son for the An family. Therefore, they naturally accepted the suggestions of my grandparents. From then on, An Yang ruled our family. My family bought new clothes for him, paid for his schooling, and bought all kinds of toys and sweets for him. As for me, I could only watch as An Yang ran amok in my house."

Xiao Lingyu furrowed her brows. "Then did An Yang become your adopted brother?"

An Xiaohui shook her head. "No. My uncle only has one son and two daughters. How could he be willing to pass his only son to my father?"

An Yang was the source of all her tragedies.

She had often resented An Yang, but when she grew up, she knew that An Yang was just a child spoiled by a group of people.

In fact, the root of all this was caused by feudalism.

This time, she directly rejected the request to arrange An Yang to work in the company. She did not know how the family would react.

Her father might be serious when he disowned her.

Ever since they were young, An Xiaohui's parents had never treated her as their own daughter. They would always beat and scold her.

But they were still her parents. No matter how her parents treated her in the past, she couldn't ignore her parents and abandon them. It was even more impossible for her to sever her relationship with them.

"Sister Lingyu, even if my parents treat me like this, I won't be able to ignore them. Isn't that a little foolish and filial?" An Xiaohui asked in a self-deprecating manner.
