Rebirth in the 70s: The Old Couple Who Abandoned Their Sons and Doted on Their Daughters

In her previous life, Song Qingyun and her old man enjoyed a life of luxury, supported by their seven daughters.

When Song Qingyun finally repented, none of her seven daughters had lived past...

Chapter 172 What is a brother-supporting demon?

In his previous life, Shuanzi’s wife was from Liujia Village, but Xia Weian forgot her name.

He remembered that the family had three daughters and two sons. The mother of the Liu family taught her daughters to think wholeheartedly about their younger brothers.

After marrying this daughter-in-law, she lived a down-to-earth life in the first six months, working in the fields, and was very capable.

He had a very harmonious relationship with Uncle Lao Gen and Aunt Gen, and was also gentle and considerate to Shuanzi. Gradually, the feelings between the two grew deeper.

Later, Shuanzi's wife became pregnant. Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen were very happy. Shuanzi was so happy that he didn't let his wife do any work.

As a result, Shuanzi's wife's temperament changed drastically after she became pregnant. She often took the nutritional supplements bought for her by her family back to her parents' home to give to her younger brother, and often asked Shuanzi to give her money.

At the beginning, Shuanzi would give his wife anything she wanted.

Later, Shuanzi's private money was all taken away by his wife, but his wife continued to ask for it, so Shuanzi could not give it to her.

Gradually, small quarrels began to arise between the two.

Aunt Gen is a kind-hearted person. She doesn't know what happened, but she still asks Shuanzi to give in to his wife. After all, women are emotionally sensitive when they are pregnant.

Shuanzi had no choice but to tell his parents about his wife asking him for money. Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen had never expected that their daughter-in-law would keep asking for money.

So the three of them went to find Shuanzi's wife and asked her why she wanted the money and whether something happened at home.

As a result, Shuanzi's wife spoke with great confidence.

"What's wrong with me asking for money?"

"I married into your family just to make money for my brother. My betrothal money belongs to my brother, and my family's money also belongs to my brother. Now I'm pregnant with your grandchildren, so what's wrong with you giving my brother some more money?"

Shuanzi's wife's words stunned Uncle Lao Gen, Aunt Lao Gen and Shuanzi.

"If you marry me now, your family and I will be two different families."

"What two families? My brother and I will always be one family." Shuanzi's wife was righteous and did not hide her feelings when they quarreled. She acted like a shrew and made the whole family restless.

Aunt Gen was so troubled by her noise that she fell ill and couldn't even go out to the fields.

Shuanzi was very angry.

During an argument, Shuanzi's wife threatened Shuanzi that if he didn't give her fifty yuan as a betrothal gift to his brother, she would jump into the river and get rid of the child.

Shuanzi didn't take it seriously at the time and just cursed, "Don't make trouble here, who has fifty dollars?"

Then, Shuanzi's wife really ran all the way to the river and jumped in.

It was dinner time at that time. Everyone saw Shuanzi's wife running over, but no one followed her. When everyone found her, Shuanzi's wife had been rescued, but the child was gone.

Shuanzi was heartbroken, and his wife started to make a fuss again. Later, Shuanzi couldn't help but slap her twice and sent her directly to the commune, explaining the situation and demanding a divorce.

Shuanzi's wife never thought that Shuanzi, who had such a good relationship with her, would actually file for divorce.

But divorce doesn't happen that way. Shuanzi's wife called her family members and smashed up Shuanzi's house.

Fortunately, Uncle Lao Gen was popular. When they found someone coming, the young men in the village all went to support Shuanzi. However, they arrived a little late, and Shuanzi had his arm broken.

Uncle Lao Gen’s house was also smashed to pieces. The group was sent to the police station and only received ten yuan in compensation in the end because they had no more money.

Shuanzi and his wife are divorced. He has a broken arm and cannot do heavy work. Aunt Gen is weak and cannot go out to work. The family can only rely on Uncle Gen.

Fortunately, Uncle Lao Gen had some savings, so he could make ends meet. However, the courtyard that was once full of laughter was now filled with a depressing atmosphere.

Shuanzi blamed himself so much that one dark and windy night, he could not bear it any longer and hanged himself.

Fortunately, Uncle Gen and Aunt Gen found it.

Aunt Gen cried so hard that Shuanzi slowly became strong and tried hard to get over his previous failed marriage. The price of this marriage was too, too tragic.

When Xia Weian thought about these things, he felt depressed.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Xia Suihe asked carefully.

Her perception has always been sharp. She noticed the moment Xia Weian's emotions fluctuated. She knew that her father was very unhappy.

Xia Weian quickly calmed down and said, "It's okay, Dad just thought of something unhappy."

"Then Dad, don't think about unhappy things. Think about happy things and you will feel better." Xia Suihe said seriously.

Xia Weian was amused and took out a hand to rub Xia Suihe's head.

Shuanzi also laughed, "Our Suihe is right, just think about something happy."

Xia Weian glanced at Shuanzi, was silent for a while, and finally said, "Shuanzi, is the girl I'm introducing to you a girl from the village?"

"I heard he's from Liujia Village." Shuanzi thought for a moment and replied somewhat embarrassedly.

"I think it's better not to look for a country girl." Xia Weian suddenly changed the subject.

Shuanzi was stunned. He almost forgot to turn the handlebars. When he came to his senses, the bike shook a little.

"Third brother, can I still find a city girl with my conditions?"

"Why not? I'll talk to Sister Li Hua later and ask her to keep an eye on it for you."

"Although the girls in the village are hardworking and capable, you are now a formal employee, so you should try to go to the city in the future."

"Children now follow their mother's household registration. If your wife's household registration is in the city, your child's household registration will also be in the city, which will make it more convenient for them to go to school."

"But marrying a city girl costs a lot of money. You need a bicycle, a sewing machine, and all those four big things. My family can't afford them," said Shuanzi.

It’s not that he doesn’t want to find a good girl, it’s just that he is aware of his situation.

Xia Weian didn't take it seriously. "What's the big deal? You're a regular employee now, making just over 30 yuan a month. Calculate how much you'll earn in a year."

"If you save a year's salary, it will be enough to give the city girl a betrothal gift and the four major items. I will help you find a way to buy the tickets when the time comes. We must consider the children. You don't want your children to have to farm in the future, do you?"

Xia Weian took a strong dose of medicine.

Shuanzi nodded, "That's true."

"Moreover, most country girls have many brothers and sisters. The older sisters have to raise the younger brothers, and the younger sisters have to help the older brothers. If you find a brother-supporting girl, how can you live?" Xia Weian said again.

"What is a brother-supporting demon?" Shuanzi looked at Xia Weian with an ignorant face.

Xia Weian coughed twice before realizing that there was no such word yet.

"I am dedicated to helping my brothers and sisters at home. I transfer everything from my husband's family to my parents' family. You can do small things here and there, but do you think you and your parents can bear it for the rest of your life?" Xia Weian said.

Shuanzi immediately shook his head.
