Chapter 105 The only hope

And now, Liang's mother is again coming to earnestly persuade him.

Even though Liang Xiaoxia couldn't hear these words, she was tired of seeing them.

"Xiaoxia, just agree. Anyway, with your ears like this, you'll never be able to marry into a good family."

These words directly stung Liang Xiaoxia's heart.

She flung her mother's hand away and, like a wounded cub, began to sob and growl, "My ears are like this because of Liang Xiaohao!"

"My ears were clearly still curable, but you just wouldn't treat them."

“Don’t tell me you don’t have money. I know you all have some money, but you just want to leave it to Liang Xiaohao and think that my daughter isn’t worth spending money on.”

"I just want to ask you, if Liang Xiaohao had been injured back then, would you have not taken him to a major hospital for treatment?"

of course not!

Although she was stunned by her daughter's outburst, Liang's mother still spoke her truest thoughts.

If it had been Xiaohao who was injured, they would have taken him to a major hospital for surgery, even if it meant using their family savings, borrowing money, or selling their blood.

However, it wasn't Xiaohao who got hurt, it was Xiaoxia, their daughter.

Liang's mother argued dryly, "How can this be the same? You are a girl, and Xiaohao is a boy." Moreover, he is the only boy in the family, and he will be the one to take care of them in their old age, while a girl is destined to marry out and become an outsider.

"Does a girl not come out of your belly? Does that mean a girl isn't a person?"

This time, Liang Xiaoxia's heart was completely broken, and she finally understood her place in her parents' hearts.

She was just a tool to help her brother; they didn't care what she thought or whether she was willing.

"You can leave now. Anyway, I will not agree to marrying into the Wu family. If you think I'm in your way, I can move out."

As she spoke, she pushed Liang's mother out of the room and slammed the door shut.

Looking at the tightly closed door, Liang's mother suddenly felt as if she was about to lose her daughter.

Her eyes were filled with confusion.

But where exactly did she go wrong? She was only thinking of her daughter.
-
After closing the door, Liang Xiaoxia leaned against it, and it took her a long time to calm down.

She then sat down and picked up her phone, which had been on the table.

Her phone was still showing the page where she had successfully purchased the hearing aid.

Since starting work, Liang Xiaoxia's salary has been mostly taken by her parents under various pretexts. Now, she doesn't have much money left, but this 1000 yuan is a lot of money for her.

But when Liang Xiaoxia saw the link, she resolutely chose to buy it.

Actually, Liang Xiaoxia hadn't paid attention to Xu Qingling before. The reason she found out about this today was because she saw it trending on social media.

She wasn't even sure if the hearing aid's therapeutic function was actually real.

She knew it might be fake and completely useless.

But when she saw it, she hesitated for only a moment before deciding to buy it.

For Liang Xiaoxia, this was like a gamble.

If the gamble pays off, 1000 yuan can restore her hearing; if it fails, the 1000 yuan is gone.

In fact, this was the last glimmer of hope that Liang Xiaoxia left for herself.

Liang Xiaoxia knew that her mother was right; she was indeed easily swayed by emotions, and even after seeing reality clearly, she was still bound by family ties.

She knew that if she stayed at home forever, her mother would eventually persuade her to stay.

She knew that her mother's persuasion was still relatively mild at this point. When it really came down to forcing her to agree, her mother might choose to kneel down.

Once her mother kneels down, she really has no way to stop her.

At that time, she might have chosen to compromise.

She knew that she was weak and incompetent in that way, but the personality she had developed since childhood, the selfless dedication to her family and younger brother, was something she could hardly change.

Therefore, she pinned her last hope on this hearing aid.

She thought that if this hearing aid really worked, then with its treatment, her ears could be cured in just one month, and she would become a normal person again.

She would choose to leave this home, leave her parents, and stay away from her brother to live her own life.

If the hearing aid doesn't work, then she'll just have to accept her fate.

The hearing aid was shipped very quickly; Liang Xiaoxia placed her order today and it arrived the next day.

However, her mother brought the hearing aid in, followed by her father and younger brother.

The package had already been opened, revealing a hearing aid and an invoice inside.

"Xiaoxia, where did you get the money to buy this?"

“You’ve got 1000 yuan to spend on this useless thing.”

"Exactly, hearing aids are completely useless to you."

Liang's parents were heartbroken about the 1000 yuan, but they never expected that their daughter had secretly hidden the money.

Liang Xiaohao's face was full of sarcasm, thinking that Liang Xiaoxia was an idiot who had been tricked into buying a hearing aid.

"How could you open my package! That's my privacy!" Liang Xiaoxia was furious. She snatched the hearing aid away and carefully examined it, afraid that they would damage it.

"What privacy? You're our daughter. When you were little, your father and I saw you everywhere. What's wrong with opening your package now? Luckily we did, otherwise we wouldn't know you spent a lot of money on this useless thing." Liang's mother didn't realize she had done anything wrong at all, and instead acted as if it was perfectly normal.

It's as if her daughter is her possession, and everything must be open to her, nothing can be hidden from her, otherwise it's the daughter's fault.

Liang Xiaoxia knew that her parents' mindset was beyond correction. They had held this belief their entire lives.

"You should return this hearing aid immediately and get your money back."

"I don't want it, I'm spending my own money."

Liang Xiaoxia really wanted to blurt out that this was not an ordinary hearing aid, but a hearing aid that could cure her ear disease, but she held back the words.

They would just think she'd been scammed, and if Liang Xiaohao knew the hearing aid actually worked, he might even sabotage it.

After all, if she recovers, she won't be able to properly sacrifice and dedicate herself to him.

"Didn't you want me to marry the second son of the Wu family?"

"Give me a month to think it over. After a month, I will give you my answer."

"Really?"

"Really, a month is a long time. You can't wait that long, can you? I promise I'll give it a good think during this month."

"Okay, then I'll give you a month."

A month is neither a long nor a short time, but Mr. and Mrs. Liang can still wait.

The problem is that Leung Siu-ho's girlfriend is pregnant, and he can't wait any longer.

But they also knew that they couldn't push too hard at this point, or they feared Liang Xiaoxia would fight to the death.
