Among all the children in the alley, Jiang Pan'er disliked Jiang Lingyin the most.
Too showy, too arrogant, too careless, and... far too fortunate.
She and her sisters had never eaten meat since they were born. Only their eldest sister got to eat a bowl of egg custard, with tears in her eyes, on the night before her wedding. Their father had married her off to an old cripple in the village and received a huge dowry, enough to pay their younger brother's tuition.
Their mother often boasted to the neighbors, saying that although their father was usually unreliable, he really did care about them. The night before Big Sister got married, he had even woken their mother and asked her to make their daughter a bowl of egg custard.
Jiang Pan'er knew why her mother said that.
