"So you're just going to stand by and watch your brother starve to death?" He Caiping's face darkened instantly when she heard her daughter's refusal.
"Are you just going to stand by and watch your brother starve to death? He was born in the same womb as you; you were together when you were still in my belly."
How could you be so heartless?
He Caiping accused Shen Wenxiu of being a cold-blooded person, asking how she could stand by and watch someone die.
That's her twin brother.
"Mom, Wencai is perfectly capable; how can we let Wenxiu support him alone?"
Zhou Cunzong couldn't bear to see his wife being criticized, so he sat down next to her, took her hand, and then spoke to He Caiping.
"Mom, aren't you and Dad still alive? You two look remarkably healthy; you'll definitely live another forty or fifty years."
"With you two elders here, how could Wencai possibly starve to death?"
"Wencai is your precious son, you can't just watch him starve to death, right?"
"Besides, isn't my elder brother still alive? And isn't his son still alive too?"
“The eldest brother certainly wouldn’t want to see his younger brother starve to death, right? The nephew certainly wouldn’t stand by and watch his uncle starve to death either; they will definitely support Wencai.”
"With so many people still in the family, it's not like it's Wenxiu, a married older sister, who should be supporting Wencai, is the one to do so?"
Zhou Cunzong had a smile on his face, but what he said made He Caiping and her family of three look very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Brother Shen and his family had already gone to Sister-in-law Shen's family home to pay their respects for the New Year, and they did not hear what Zhou Cunzong said.
Otherwise they would definitely start cursing.
Especially Sister-in-law Shen.
She's already struggling to support her own children, so how could she possibly be willing to support a younger brother-in-law who isn't a mother?
If this brother-in-law is good-tempered and grateful, then so be it.
Is Shen Wencai that kind of person?
He was completely spoiled by his parents. He has no sense of responsibility and takes other people's efforts for granted.
In any case, Sister-in-law Shen is absolutely unwilling to support her younger brother-in-law.
“Cunzong, how could you say such a thing? Wenxiu is Wencai’s sister…” He Caiping tried to argue her point.
She just wanted someone else to take on the job of serving Shen Wencai and share the expenses.
She was willing to take care of her son, but she also got tired sometimes, and at those times she hoped someone could help her share the burden.
She certainly couldn't count on her eldest daughter-in-law, and she couldn't bear to let her eldest son suffer, so she could only set her sights on Shen Wenxiu.
Her second son and eldest daughter are not at home; they have both gone to the countryside. They are too far away to help her, so she can't rely on them.
Shen Wenxiu married nearby, and her husband's family is doing quite well. Her daughter is now also capable of earning money.
Then she would have to find a way to get close to Shen Wenxiu, get things from her to subsidize her son, and then ask Shen Wenxiu to help take care of her son.
"Wenxiu, Wencai is so pitiful, don't you feel any pity for him at all?"
“You are Wencai’s older sister, you can’t be so cold-hearted.”
Shen Wenxiu listened to her mother's words without feeling the slightest bit unsettled.
She listened to her finish speaking before she spoke—
“I don’t feel sorry for him at all.”
Shen Wenxiu said coldly, "He has never cared about me before, so why should I care about him?"
When she graduated from high school, if she hadn't made the decisive move to grab Zhou Cunzong and get married early, she might have been the one sent to the countryside.
Even so, she didn't have much when she got married.
Although her in-laws didn't give her much in betrothal gifts, she had never forgotten that her own family hadn't given her anything and even wanted to withhold her betrothal gifts for Shen Wencai.
When Shen Wencai was about to go to the countryside, his parents found a way to exchange a lot of money for him and a lot of tickets that he could use.
When Shen Wencai arrived in the countryside, his parents would send him things and money from time to time.
In contrast, after she married into the Zhou family, no matter how much her mother-in-law made things difficult for her, her parents never stood up for her.
Her mother also said that all women go through this, and which daughter-in-law hasn't been made difficult by her mother-in-law?
Now everyone's remembering that she and Shen Wencai are twins?
With such drastically different treatment, how could she possibly feel sorry for Shen Wencai?
"What do you mean? Are you saying I haven't been good enough to you?" As soon as He Caiping heard Shen Wenxiu's words, she knew what she meant.
She slammed her hand on the table and started cursing at Shen Wenxiu.
"How have I ever been bad to you?"
"You should be grateful that you can still go to school and finish high school. And now you're saying I haven't been good enough to you?"
"Go and see how many other families have children who can afford to study like you."
"I provide you with food, clothing, and education, and now you're accusing me of not being good enough to you?"
"Shen Wenxiu, put your hands on your heart, haven't I been good enough to you?"
"Shen Wenxiu, go out and see how many girls can live as well as you?"
He Caiping was furious at her daughter for being so heartless, and even thought that she hadn't been good enough to her?
“Go out and see those families who really don’t like their daughters; they don’t even let their daughters go to school.”
"I'm already being kind enough to let you go to school!"
Shen Wenxiu also stood up, "Isn't the reason I can go to school all because you were worried that Shen Wencai would be bullied at school?"
“After I finished third grade, you didn’t want me to continue because you felt that Shen Wencai had grown up and didn’t need me to protect him anymore.”
"I was able to finish elementary school, junior high school, and high school because I earned my tuition by doing odd jobs with you and my older sister."
