Capítulo 1371: Chapter 1371: We’ve All Grown Up
“Big brother, don’t say any more, you always say you wanted us to have a better life. Besides, my sister and I too, we aren’t good people either. We spent sister-in-law’s money and didn’t even rember her kindness.
You’re always influenced by and my sister, that’s why you feel sister-in-law owes us.
Speaking of owing the three people of our Li Family, who doesn’t owe sister-in-law.
I understand what you an. In the end, the children must follow my sister-in-law. Whether in the eyes of the law or by blood, sister-in-law cannot ignore them. Big brother, don’t worry, from now on, I’ll send sister-in-law so money monthly. Although my salary isn’t high and it may not be much, it’s our Li Family’s intention. We can’t let sister-in-law bear such a heavy burden alone.
It was our family who did wrong before, not sister-in-law. We three siblings must pay this debt together, we can’t let you bear it alone.”
Li Shuanwen spoke from his heart. Although he’s not flawless, his conscience often tortures him deep down, telling him that this is the right thing to do.
“Forget it, with your ager salary, it’s not enough to support your wife and child. Anyway, I already owe sister-in-law and can’t repay in this lifeti, so let owe her. I’ll repay in the next life.” Li Shuanzhu rejected his brother’s lofty words, being well aware of his brother’s situation.
The brothers had nothing more to say.
Li Shuanwen didn’t know what to say to comfort his big brother, but how could his big brother need comforting from him?
“These days I’m planning to take the kids back to the old ho, take them to visit our parents’ grave. Maybe this is my last ti visiting their grave. After that, it’s up to you and Guihua to handle our parents’ matters.
You know your sister’s personality is so independent and unempathetic. I disagreed when she wanted to marry Chen Gui back then because he has a stubborn streak, much like mine.
But she insisted on marrying him, and I couldn’t stop her. We had money at ho then, and with around, Chen Gui naturally wouldn’t dare cause trouble and would treat your sister well. But in the future, I’m afraid Chen Gui won’t treat her as well.
In the future, keep an eye on your sister. If it really doesn’t work, just let her divorce and live on her own.
Also, you should often persuade her to find a job. Without a job, life just doesn’t make sense. Her husband’s money only adds to his concerns if she spends it.
Look at sister-in-law, she had so much money in her hands, raising kids at ho, yet I treated her harshly, being picky. Don’t even ntion your sister, who has nothing and expects people to willingly spend money on her.
Plus, Chen Gui’s mother, sister-in-law, and younger brother are quite difficult to deal with. Now that your sister has no money, she must be suffering over there.”
Li Shuanzhu couldn’t let go of his brother and sister in this lifeti. After all, he’s been a guardian for so many years, always looking at his two siblings from a parent’s perspective.
Perhaps compared to his children, he cares even more about nurturing and supporting his siblings.
“Big brother, stop it. You always cared for us. From now on, I’ll find a way to care for sister too, but she has to listen to . You know her, once her temper flares up, she doesn’t listen to anyone.
Everyone grows up and has their own struggles, you can’t worry about it your whole life. Even parents can’t worry about their children forever, let alone you as the big brother.
Our second sister never learns from setbacks.”
Li Shuanwen also sighs, worried. His second sister really never learns.
Both knew they were right; Li Guihua would have to face hardships to begin understanding how to live.
……
Li Guihua truly faced a lesson; today she returned empty-handed to her in-laws’ house, and as soon as she entered, her mother-in-law and sister-in-law saw she had nothing in her hands, their faces imdiately darkened.
“Yo, here co the idle eater.”
Though the sister-in-law was only three years younger than her, her words were also very biting.
Previously, for the sake of money, they accommodated her. But now, since they have no money, whenever they see her, they endlessly tease her, with sarcastic and unpleasant remarks. With many harsh words, Li Guihua had quarreled with her sister-in-law several tis, always ending with both mother-in-law and sister-in-law joining in.
She was alone and outnumbered, eventually unable to escape, even complaining to Chen Gui, he just urged her to endure, since they’re family, fighting makes it look bad. Besides, living in their ho, they are the ones in the wrong.
After several instances, Li Guihua knew no one at ho supported her. Fighting and arguing, she couldn’t win.
“Look, now even your brother doesn’t care about you, what do you think you are? Really making both humans and dogs dislike you. Quickly go wash that pile of clothes and cook a al. You tell , with hands and feet like you have, refusing to work and earn money, what’s your purpose?”
The mother-in-law’s criticisms were endless, her words were extrely harsh.
“Where’s Xiaoqi?”
Li Guihua held back her anger, asking her mother-in-law. What choice did she have, facing a whole family alone, she was at a disadvantage.
“You don’t need to worry; I know my grandson and care for him. He’s sleeping in the room.”
At this mont, the sound of a child crying ca from the room. Li Guihua imdiately recognized it as her son’s sharp and desperate cry, she rushed inside without hesitation.
There, she saw her two-year-old son had fallen on the floor, crying so hard that he’d catch his breath between sobs. Clearly, he had just woken up and tried getting out of bed on his own but unexpectedly fell off.
Li Guihua picked up her son and caught a foul sll on him, checking his clothes that were covered with food scraps. Obviously, her mother-in-law hadn’t changed his outfit.
Fuming, Li Guihua took her son back to her room, ignoring her mother-in-law’s yelling behind her, “Hurry and wash clothes, cook the al! Kids cry, it’s normal, we can hold him later. I’m telling you if you don’t work or cook, don’t expect to eat.
We don’t support idle people!”
Li Guihua slamd the door shut angrily.
Chen Xin, the sister-in-law, dissatisfied, told her mother, “Mom, you’re too indulgent with her. With her attitude, my brother should teach her a lesson on being a daughter-in-law. How does she dare show such disrespect to her mother-in-law? Who does she think she is?”
Back then, when big brother wanted to marry Li Guihua, they all opposed it, thinking Li Guihua, despite being a college graduate, was openly aggressive and small-minded, couldn’t tolerate anyone speaking ill of her, as if treating herself like a princess.
But big brother insisted on marrying her, what choice did they have?
They finally let it go because Li Guihua had a house, and money, so they didn’t mind as much.
Yet now, Li Guihua, who was previously affluent, is worse off than a plucked phoenix, and continues to behave arrogantly. The sister-in-law felt uncomfortable about it.
