291 Second Aunt’s Story With Her Maternal Family (1)

In the evening, the daughters-in-law who went to their parents’ homes went home one after another.

However, Shi Yaoqing and his wife spent the night at his wife’s maternal home.

Shi Yaoqing and his wife had only been married for less than three years. They were newlyweds. It was reasonable for a wife to miss her family.

Grandmother looked at them and said with a smile, “You’re all back so early. Why don’t you stay at your parents’ house for a while and chat with them?”

Second Aunt said, “Usually, we go home whenever we want to. We usually talk about everything that we want to talk about!”

The main reason was that Second Aunt’s parents were no longer around. Her two elder brothers and one younger brother were already grandfathers, and her younger brother was about to reach the age of a grandfather.

Everyone was getting on in age, and their relationship was obviously not as close as before.

Logically speaking, the only girl in the family should be the most favored. Before her eldest brother and second brother married, she was indeed the most favored.

However, after her two brothers got married, her two sisters-in-law disliked their sister-in-law and hinted to her parents to get her married as soon as possible. If she did not get married, their family would not be able to live well anymore.

Her family was poor, to begin with. Her house was only a four-bedroom house. Her parents had one room, she had one, and her eldest brother had one. There was only one room left to share between the remaining siblings.

After the two brothers got married and each occupied a room, they tidied up the woodshed at home and let their younger brother stay there.

As a sister-in-law, she occupied a room. Of course, she was an eyesore.

Later on, after the children were born one after another, this house became even more impossible to live in.

Her parents had no choice but to get a matchmaker to matchmake her.

Second Aunt was a stubborn person.

She understood her parents’ difficulties, but she didn’t want to be married off just like that.

If the sisters-in-law wanted a room, she could just give it to them. She packed up her bags and went out of the village to work.

She didn’t go home during the holidays. Because it was no longer her home.

Later on, her good friend introduced her to Shi Liqiu.

Shi Liqiu was tall and handsome. Most importantly, he was sincere and reliable, which gave her a sense of security.

The two of them had not been in love for long before they got married.

When the two sisters-in-law saw that she had married someone from a good family, they urged her parents to ask for more betrothal gifts.

After all, there were more and more people in the family and they urgently needed to build a new house.

At that time, Second Aunt did not have the boldness of Eldest Aunt. Moreover, her parents were old and she had an unmarried younger brother at home. With the temperament of her two sisters-in-law, they might not be willing to help her younger brother get married.

Therefore, after discussing with Shi Liqiu, they gave her family a high betrothal gift.

According to the market at that time, the highest betrothal gift was only up to 6,000 dollars. However, their family asked for 10,000 dollars.

The Shi Family accepted the amount and prepared the betrothal gift.

This made Second Aunt feel very guilty toward the Shi family.

After marrying into the Shi family, her two sisters-in-law knew that she had married into a good family. From time to time, they would instigate her parents to ask her for money. One day, her father would ask for money because he was sick, and the next, her mother would ask for money because she was sick. In any case, they wanted money for various reasons.

It was not that Second Aunt was unwilling to give it to them, but she knew that if she did, the money would not reach her parents at all. It would only be in the hands of her two sisters-in-law.

After Second Aunt gave it a few times, she knew that there was nothing she could do if this continued.

After discussing with Shi Liqiu, she gritted her teeth and looked for her uncle to mediate. She said to her two sisters-in-law, “Eldest Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, it’s our duty to support our parents. However, according to the customs of our village, it’s to see our parents into old age. The son at home is to support his parents in their old age. If you don’t have a son, it’s the daughter’s duty to take care of them. If you really don’t want to support my parents, it’s fine. I’ll support them if you’re not afraid of being criticized by the entire village.”

The two sisters-in-law’s expressions changed drastically.

These words were a real slap to their faces.

The eldest sister-in-law’s expression was really ugly as she said, “Sister-in-law, your words are heart-wrenching. What do you mean by we’re unwilling to support our parents? Are we starving our parents now, or freezing them? Or are we chasing them out? Tell us clearly in front of Uncle. Don’t let us be mocked in the village!”

Second Sister-in-law nodded and said, “That’s right, Sister-in-law. We didn’t mistreat Dad and Mom. Don’t spout nonsense.”

Second Aunt nodded and said, “That’s right. It’s not that you don’t support Mom and Dad, but why are you unwilling to give them a single cent to treat their illnesses every time they fall sick? Why do you come to me every other day to ask for it?”

The eldest sister-in-law secretly glared at her in-laws and sneered. “Aiyo, you’re indeed a married daughter. Even when your parents are sick, they can’t ask you for a few dollars to see a doctor. You say that you’re taking care of your parents, but you still accuse your two brothers of not taking care of their father.

“If we really didn’t support our parents, we would have sent them to you long ago. Besides, our parents still have money on them. As long as they’re not seriously ill and have a cold, they don’t have to ask us at all. Of course, our parents can’t bear to spend money on treatment. They’re probably saving some for our brother-in-law to get married.”

Second Aunt and the two sisters-in-law argued endlessly over this matter. In the end, her parents cried.

It was true that they doted on their daughter, but it was one thing for rural people to dote on their daughters and it was another for them to give their assets to their sons.

Their family had a fierce and calculative daughter-in-law. Once her request was not met, she would clamor for a divorce.

In order to prevent their eldest son and his wife from getting a divorce, they had no choice but to wrong their only daughter.

Seeing her parents cry, Second Aunt was angry and heartbroken. She immediately felt that she had been too impulsive.

If she did this, it would be difficult for her parents to maintain their dignity front of her two sisters-in-law in the future.

Second aunt comforted her parents while her two sisters-in-law looked at them coldly.

Later, under the witness of her uncles, her second aunt gave her parents 2,000 dollars.

This money was enough for them to catch a common cold ten times over.

Mom and Dad looked at their daughter and only cried non-stop, saying that they had let her down.

Second Aunt said very calmly, “Dad, Mom, when I got married, the Shi family had already given me a betrothal gift that was higher than the other girls at that time. You came to my house every day to ask for money to see a doctor. The Shi family didn’t say anything about me. Mom, as a daughter, I won’t leave you in the lurch in the future. After all, you raised me up. In the future, I have the obligation to support you in your old age and take good care of you. But Mom, I hope you and Dad can be fair to me. My in-laws are easy to talk to. They’re good people and won’t say anything about me, but I feel bad. Dad, Mom, I’ll visit you often in the future!”

Later, Second Aunt’s father passed away in an accident. When he went to town, he got into a car accident. The driver paid 50,000 dollars and this was split between his two sisters-in-law.

After two years, her mother was paralyzed in bed. her two sisters-in-law would only give her food. It was impossible for them to clean their mother-in-law every day.

Therefore, the task of paying to take care of his mother was handed over to Second Aunt. At that time, her younger brother had already married a wife. She was a good person who would help take care of her mother-in-law.

Her mother, who had been taken care of by her daughter and daughter-in-law for two years, felt more and more sorry. She felt that she could not drag her daughter down anymore and committed suicide when no one was paying attention.
