Chapter 649 Pity and Contempt
Everyone in the village knows that among the Xiao Family's children, Xiao Hua is the smartest and most capable one. She excels in her studies and is considered one of the best girls in the entire village.
Naturally, Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Xiao think highly of her, which is why they let her attend high school, and now she has even been admitted to university.
Compared to other families' daughters, Xiao Hua is fortunate.
However, when compared to her own brother, Xiao Hua is valued much less by her parents.
Xiao Zhu is not good at studying and tends to be lazy, leaving most of the household work to the elders. As for himself, he's like a gyro that spins only when hit; if not prompted, he wouldn't know what to do.
Yet, such a son is still considered a treasure by Mrs. Xiao.
In case there is no conflict with the son, all is well. But when there's a slight conflict, even if it's clearly the son's fault, the one who gets suppressed is definitely Hua.
