"Mom, I told you we shouldn't marry someone from outside the family. Look, Shurui has been corrupted. Now he doesn't treat his older sister well at all."
"Big sister, what are you sending to Shurui for the New Year?"
"I can barely take care of myself when it comes to sending things. Those things aren't worth much over there anyway, so what's wrong with sending some?"
Ignoring the unreasonable older sister, Lu Shuxia took the children to play.
Aunt Lu interrupted Sister Lu and Grandma Lu, saying that Shuqi had become sensible and had sent New Year's goods back home, which Yu Yin had helped to prepare. She had even brought some for Grandma Lu and the others.
"Look, even Shuqi, who just arrived, knows to send things home. You've been gone for so long, and besides asking for money, why haven't you sent anything home?"
As she spoke, Aunt Lu pinched Lu Shuxin, clearly furious.
“What am I supposed to send? I’m exhausted from work every day. There are poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, and leeches everywhere. There’s work every day, and I never get a break. The food in the canteen is terrible; I never get enough to eat. I don’t even earn enough to cover my own food expenses. Other families get subsidies, but what have you ever sent me? Lu Shuqi can at least go to Lu Shurui’s house for a better meal, and my third aunt sends her things. As for me, I have nothing!”
After crying and shouting, Lu Shuxin ran out, but instead of reflecting on her own actions, Lu's aunt blamed Yu Yin and the others.
"Second brother's wife, I think Shumin is right. We can't marry women from outside the family; they're too stingy. We're all brothers and sisters; how can we not take care of each other?"
Aunt Lu, who was not used to Aunt Lu's behavior, retorted directly.
“These days, nobody comes here to eat and drink for free. Nobody’s food comes from thin air. Shu Rui and his wife have two children, and we haven’t seen you send them anything.”
"you……"
Aunt Lu was furious, but had no words to refute her.
"Alright, if you're not going to eat, then leave."
Grandma Lu made the final decision, and everyone fell silent.
Lu's mother didn't say a word from beginning to end.
