Chapter 183: Chapter 153: Pitiful (Part 3)
Then she ran to the closet, rummaged around, and took out Jiang Xin’s few beautiful skirts from the wardrobe.
Because the skirts were so beautiful, she had never seen such beautiful skirts in her life, so when their family received the skirts, they immediately decided to put them in the closet to be preserved carefully.
They planned to take them out when they could finally use them.
But after she and her sister saw these beautiful skirts, they couldn’t bear to wear them.
Nian Di took the clothes out and then walked in front of everyone.
It was then that Jiang Xin, for the first time, clearly looked at Nian Di’s face. The little girl looked about the same age as her, but in comparison, her life was a hundred times harder.
Not only was she extremely skinny, but her face was also haggard and sallow, her skin wasn’t good, and what should have been her jet-black hair was now completely malnourished and yellow like dried grass. Although it was neatly combed, it looked very unhealthy.
From a distance, one might think she was a child from a poor family, not even getting enough to eat.
It shouldn’t be like this. Mrs. Fu’s family’s life seemed to be quite well-off.
When Jiang Xin entered the house, she smelled a particularly fragrant aroma of ribs, clearly indicating that the daily meals at home were quite good.
But how could this little girl be starving to such an extent, looking so malnourished, that you didn’t even need a hospital check-up to find out?
Perhaps the family favors boys over girls, so they don’t treat this little girl well.
After all, Jiang Xin glanced down to the side, it should be Nian Di’s younger brother who looked about eight or nine years younger than Nian Di, not only wearing new clothes but also being raised plump and fair, obviously well-nourished.
Jiang Xin suddenly fell silent.
Her heart suddenly ached for this little girl named Nian Di.
Especially since Jiang Xin just heard Mrs. Fu and her relatives saying that they are arranging a blind date for this little girl tomorrow?
Doesn’t that mean she’ll have to get married at a young age, just like her?
Looking at this little girl, she seemed gentle and easily bullied. If she gets married and meets a bossy mother-in-law, won’t she be bullied?
After all, her family doesn’t seem like the kind that would protect her or shield her from the storm.
Basically, it’s nothing but a facade.
If this little girl gets married in the future, and her in-laws are not good, she’ll simply be cannon fodder.
If she marries into a good family, then she might have some good days.
Jiang Xin’s heart instantly became mixed with emotions.
And one can easily imagine the future for this little girl, given her family’s favoring of males over females. Once she is married off, she will surely be forced to support her natal family.
In the future, she’ll definitely become another facilitator for her brother, simply put, another Mrs. Fu.
Jiang Xin fell silent directly. She looked down at her skirts, which had just been stolen only a few hours ago, yet had been well-preserved.
Looking at Nian Di’s pitiable appearance, Jiang Xin, despite not having communicated with her at all, felt that this little girl was a good person.
Since Mrs. Fu had already spoken up and said a skirt could be left for this little girl, Jiang Xin naturally wanted to give her a chance to carefully choose one she liked.
Anyway, there was Mrs. Fu, the big fool, to pay for it.
So, Jiang Xin directly spoke up. As she bowed her head, her voice was quite gentle.
She said to Nian Di:
"Among these five skirts, is there one you like?"
"If there is, then pick the one you like and take it out. When the time comes, your aunt will pay for it."
Upon hearing Jiang Xin’s words, Nian Di’s eyes immediately lit up. She was at the age of loving to dress up, but because of her family’s situation, they lived in poverty.
In addition, her mother didn’t value her as a daughter and wouldn’t spend money on decorations for her to doll up.
Yet in her heart, she still longed for beautiful new clothes.
At this moment, upon hearing Jiang Xin say she could leave a new skirt, she instantly became joyful.
She cautiously gazed at the skirts, trying to pick out her favorite one.
Anyway, since everyone agreed, taking one skirt shouldn’t be an issue, right?
