Chapter 156: Persuasion
How can this be possible?
So, they all said that they didn't care about the little gifts that Fu's mother gave them on a daily basis.
But, if you're telling the truth.
If Mother Fu no longer cared about their lives from now on, how difficult would their lives be in the future?
Anyway, it is definitely not as wealthy as before.
After all, it's been so many years.
Their family has long developed the bad habit of living a life of luxury.
Not only is he extravagant in spending money, but he is also used to being lazy.
At such a young age, he doesn't know how to make money with his own hands. He just stays at home all day long, eating and waiting to die.
Anyway, no matter what, there is that fool Fu's mother to back us up.
No matter what, considering Fu's mother's character of meddling in her mother's family affairs, and Fu Yu is so good at making money.
As long as Fu's mother was around, their family could always live a life of ease and comfort. Anyway, they would never lack money.
Even though they looked down on Mother Fu, at this moment, after hearing Mother Fu say that she wanted to completely cut off ties with them, how could they not be panicked?
It's like they've lost someone who can provide support for their family.
Besides, their eldest son is old enough to get married, and the money for the bride price and the house has already been paid.
But, there is more than one son in their family!
There is also a younger son who is waiting to get married. This year, the younger son is already eighteen years old, and it will be a blink of an eye. Without the financial support from Mother Fu, their family will not be able to survive at all.
In fact, the first person who panicked the most was not Fu’s mother, but her sister-in-law.
Fu's mother's sister-in-law was really frightened at this moment. She never expected that Fu's mother, who had been a coward all her life in front of her mother's family, could be so strong-willed at this moment and actually wanted to sever all relations with them.
How can that be possible!
God knows how good their life has been since Fu's mother came to support their family.
Moreover, she knew very well what kind of person the man in their family was. He just did nothing but eat and wait for death all day long.
Apart from flirting with other people's young widows at the entrance of the village, he would play mahjong, or go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a few bottles of Erguotou and drink until he was drunk every day.
He doesn't act like a father at all.
It has had a huge impact on the children in the family.
Otherwise, Fu's sister-in-law is a straightforward and aggressive person.
Deep down, she is very strong-willed, but she ended up marrying such a loser man. How could she not feel suffocated?
Especially, they know that the men in their own families cannot make any money at all and cannot provide a stable life for their mothers.
There were always quarrels in her home, she quarreled with her husband all day long. Life was not like life and home was not like home.
Even their eldest son has learned bad habits. He is just like his father, spending all day eating, drinking and having fun. He is almost 30 years old, but he does not do any serious work.
She urged her son every day to seize the time and find a proper job, and not to stay at home and wait for death, like his father who was a loser.
But the father and son are in the same boat, and no matter how she persuades or what she says, it doesn't work.
Even Fu's mother's sister-in-law scolded her son every day in order to persuade her eldest son to take the right path.
As a result, three people in the family came, all of whom were unwilling. They were Fu's mother, the loser man in her family, and her eldest son.
These three people joined forces to make her angry.
If you change someone else, no one would be able to stand it, right?
At that time, Fu's mother's sister-in-law even thought about divorce and made a big fuss at home all day long.
There are quarrels at home all day long.
Moreover, at that time, the youngest child in the family was only a few months old and needed his mother.
At that time, Fu's mother's sister-in-law really wanted to divorce him.
So, at that time, Fu's mother and brother from her mother's side were really scared.
Seeing that there was really no other solution, they directly called Fu's mother home and asked her to think of a solution.
After all, her parents' family is in trouble, and it is time for her, as their daughter, to lend a helping hand.
So, from then on, Fu's mother began to secretly support her parents' family.
Originally, her sister-in-law had some complaints about her, thinking that as a daughter who had already married out, she should not be involved in her mother's family affairs.
Besides, it is not a solution to keep providing support like this.
After all, even if Fu's mother helped them, she couldn't give them all, because they still had to live their own lives.
So, looking at it this way, in the final analysis, the most important thing is to find a way to let her man go out and find a job that can earn money for a living.
He can't rely on his sister for support all his life, right?
In that case, although their family would be much better off, they would not be truly wealthy.
It was not until later that Fu's mother became serious about it and gave their family a considerable amount of money every month.
It is enough to make a living.
Not only that, life is much better now than before. Plus, their family still has land left by the older generation, which they can rent to people in the same village and earn a small income.
Although it's not much, it's enough to support a family.
So, over time, Fu's sister-in-law, seeing her husband's stubborn nature, simply gave up struggling.
I thought, it is a bit cowardly, but their life now is not worse than before.
In fact, after receiving support from Mother Fu, more than half of the families in the village could not live as well as they did.
It's also a disguised way of letting out some anger.
Just bear with it.
If, if it were true, that loser man in her family wouldn't be able to earn that much money even if he went out to work for a month.
So, over time, Fu's mother's sister-in-law stopped making trouble and accepted the money sent by Fu's mother every month with peace of mind.
And so it has been going on for so many years.
In the end, they just didn't care.
I just feel that this kind of effort is what Mother Fu should do.
Besides, she is just a brother's wife. To their family, she is just an outsider.
If, for example, Fu's mother gave unreasonable support to her parents' home every month, Fu's mother and her brother would not say anything. It is obvious that there is no problem.
I have lived such a peaceful life for so many years.
But today, after this incident, Fu's mother actually said that she wanted to cut off all ties with their family and would no longer give them any money. How could that be possible?
If, without financial support, wouldn't their family have to live the same hard life as before in the future?
That won’t work!
There are so many people in the family, and everyone needs to eat. If we are out of money, life will be very difficult.
This is absolutely not possible!
Therefore, after hearing what Fu's mother said, her sister-in-law from her mother's family became extremely panicked.
If she had to live a hard life in the future, she didn't want to go through that kind of life again.
You know, in the past, when Fu's brother couldn't make money, their family really had trouble making ends meet.
The kind of child at home who cries loudly because he is hungry.
Not only did the family not have a penny, they couldn't even solve the basic problem of food and clothing. In the cold winter, the family could only rely on a quilt to keep warm, and there was not even any firewood to burn.
If, if Fu's mother really didn't support their family, considering her husband's current bad character, it would definitely be unrealistic to ask him to go out and find a job.
So after much thought, I decided that I must keep Fu's mother, this life-saving straw.
Moreover, after so many years of getting along with each other, Fu's mother's sister-in-law has long known that Fu's mother is not only a crazy brother-supporting woman, but also a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart.
Although she seems sharp-tongued on weekdays, when it comes to her family's affairs, she instantly becomes a lot gentler.
So every time someone in their family angered Mother Fu, as long as they said a few nice words, Mother Fu, no matter how angry she was, would put on a playful smile.
After a long time, they no longer took Fu's mother seriously.
But this time, Mother Fu's look clearly showed that she was heartbroken, and she really wanted to sever all ties with their family.
How could Fu's sister-in-law be willing to let this cash cow slip away?
Thinking of what her mother-in-law had just said, she even felt a little resentful.
If it weren't for her mother-in-law, stirring up trouble, how could such a thing have happened?
Fu's mother's sister-in-law couldn't help but glared at her mother-in-law, asking her to stop her mouth, knowing full well that all their family's income now came from Fu's mother.
Besides, Mother Fu is still useful nowadays. Although their eldest son is married, he even bought a house with the help of Mother Fu.
However, they have just gotten married, and the young couple are just starting their life. Their small family needs support. No one in their family can earn money, so they don't have the ability. If Mother Fu can continue to support their family, then in the future, when they have a grandson, she can help support them!
Besides, their youngest son will get married in two years. Don’t he need money to find a wife, give gifts, and buy a house?
If, at this critical juncture, Fu's mother was angry and ran away, their family would directly lose a large amount of income.
Fu's sister-in-law is young after all, and she is quite smart, not as stupid as her mother from her mother's side.
Of course, if this is the case, there will be more calculations in my mind.
She knew very well in her mind that the food that Fu's mother bought for her parents' home on weekdays, when added together, was just a small amount.
The real place to spend money is still to come.
In the future, my son’s marriage, childbirth, and the cost of raising the children will be big expenses.
Even if they looked down on Mother Fu, they should not offend her at this time.
Otherwise, who will bear such a huge expenditure in the future?
If they rely on that useless man in their family, won’t he end up starving with his wife, children, and grandchildren?
So at this moment, Fu's mother's sister-in-law has been making faces at her mother-in-law, asking her mother-in-law to say a few nice words to beg Fu's mother.
In any case, based on what they knew about Mother Fu's character, as long as they said a few soft words and tried to persuade her properly, she would definitely be able to take back what she had just said about wanting to sever ties with her mother's family.
But at this moment, Fu's mother's personality and temper were so stubborn that she could not receive the eye signals from her daughter-in-law at all.
Even if she received it, she didn't want to pay attention to it.
Because at this time, not only Fu's mother was angry, but her mother from her mother's side was also angry.
The mother and daughter are now arguing here.
Fu's sister-in-law really couldn't do anything about them, and she was extremely panicked.
Moreover, with her temper and personality, she really didn't want to bow her head and beg others, but for the sake of her family, she had no choice.
I could only shamelessly ask Mother Fu for help, and humbly said:
"Sister, what our mother said just now was all in anger, so don't pay attention to her."
"How can you sever the mother-daughter relationship just like that? After all, you are biological mother and daughter. Even if your bones are broken, your tendons are still connected. Isn't the blood flowing in your veins ours?"
"This time, we were wrong. Please forgive us this time. We can still be a family in the future."
Sister-in-law from Fu's mother's family, what she said sounded nice, but it is unknown how much sincerity there is in her words.
After all, it's all to stabilize Mother Fu.
Should she continue to support her parents and provide for her family?
