It's no wonder the two sisters-in-law of the Li family held a grudge against Li Fengqin. When they married into the Li family, Li Fengqin was still married. At that time, Li Fengqin had voluntarily given up her room and moved into the old house to sleep on the floor. Although the family was poor, the family members were kind and lived a peaceful life without any major conflicts. The three sisters-in-law got along well. Later, when Li Fengqin got married, Sun Dajiang gave her a betrothal gift of ten yuan and some other things. The old man didn't keep a penny, giving it all to Li Fengqin as a dowry. The two sisters-in-law had some complaints at the time, but he didn't say much.
Later, the mother-in-law fell ill and needed to be sent to the hospital urgently, but the family had no money. The eldest son and his wife went to Xiaoxi Village to borrow money from Li Fengqin. However, they were driven out by Sun Youwang and his wife without even seeing Li Fengqin.
Afterwards, Li Fengqin never came home to say a word or apologize, and she didn't even come to see her loving mother.
Since then, the two sisters-in-law have had many complaints about Li Fengqin.
Even though she later learned that Li Fengqin was being mistreated by her husband's family and had no idea her mother was ill, a sister-in-law was still a sister-in-law, and without the bond of blood, her resentment would not dissipate just because Li Fengqin was not having a good life, but would instead grow stronger and stronger.
The two sisters-in-law argued back and forth, becoming increasingly angry. In the end, they simply threatened, "If you dare to take her away, we'll divorce you."
Seeing the eldest sister-in-law like this, the younger sister-in-law also said, "Yes, then there is only her at home but not me."
The two of them left without even looking up after they finished talking.
Li Fengqin lowered her head, tears streaming down her face.
The two eldest brothers of the Li family hurried to comfort her, "Fengqin, don't cry. Your sister-in-law was just saying that out of anger. Don't pay attention to them. Just come home with us. You can live in peace at home from now on. Whatever we eat, you will eat as well."
Li Fengqin shook her head, tears streaming down her face. The more her two brothers behaved like this, the more she couldn't selfishly implicate them.
"I brought Zhuzi and Nizi to Xiaoxi Village. A daughter who is married off is like spilled water. That is my home."
The two brothers' expressions changed drastically. "No, you're going there to die. They will never let you go."
Li Fengqin was choked with sobs and couldn't speak. She didn't want to leave, but where could she and her child stay?
At this time, Captain Liu heard the news and came over. When he saw the situation, he knew what was going on without asking. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the countryside.
Many married daughters cannot make it in their husband's family and want to go back to their parents' family, only to find that there is no place for them there either. In the end, most of them end up in tragedy.
To put it bluntly, it's because a woman who is poor and has no way to make a living cannot survive if she leaves her parents' home or her in-laws' home.
Song Yun stood at the door for a long time without saying a word.
I don’t know what to say. Every family has its own problems. Poor Li Fengqin. I want to help her, but I don’t have the ability to do so.
What this woman needs is not just a little money, what she needs is a way to survive.
A house that can shelter you from the wind and rain, and a job that can support your family.
She couldn't help with either of these.
She can't do it, but Captain Liu can.
Song Yun looked at Captain Liu and said, "Uncle Liu, in a situation like Li Fengqin's, aren't there any policies in the brigade or the commune that can help her? After all, she's a military dependent. Even if her husband died, he's still a martyr's family member. How can we just leave her like this? Wouldn't that chill the hearts of those soldiers defending our country?"
