However, it's not so easy for selfish people to change.
Not only was Liang's younger sister like this herself, but her children also followed suit.
If her in-laws cannot satisfy her, she will make a scene regardless of the occasion.
When they first got married, her husband would still try to please her because she was pretty.
But after a few years, she gave birth to one child after another, and she became a haggard old woman. After a few years of being nagged, her husband gradually lost patience.
Although she wouldn't physically assault her, she would still be given the cold shoulder. Liang Xiaogu had been pampered since childhood, and she couldn't stand such a life.
She had several arguments with her husband that went nowhere, and somehow she ended up getting involved with a bachelor in the village.
She was caught red-handed by her in-laws while having a secret rendezvous with someone late last night.
Her husband's family has a younger brother who is very good at studying. He will be taking the imperial examination next year. Her husband's family doesn't want to make a big deal out of this, so they didn't insist on having her drowned in a pig cage.
Instead, they gave her a letter of divorce and kicked her out along with her children.
No matter how much she insisted that the children were her husband's, no one in her husband's family believed her.
After such an incident, Liang Xiaogu naturally wouldn't tell anyone herself. Instead, her husband's family called on elders from the clan to drive them back overnight.
An aunt who came along also told me this.
After all, her husband's family didn't want to make a big fuss about this, so they naturally wouldn't let her go back and talk nonsense.
The two people who came to drop off the person brought the person back, explained the situation, and then left.
Old Mrs. Liang was initially still indignant and wanted to call her children and grandchildren to bring people to her door to demand an explanation.
But none of his usually obedient children and grandchildren were willing to step forward.
What a joke! It's already shameful enough that the girl was divorced and sent back, not to mention that the fault was entirely hers.
They should be thankful that no one made a fuss. If this gets out of hand, they all have daughters, so does this mean they don't want their daughters to have a good life?
Even though Old Man Liang doted on his daughter, he didn't make a mistake on this matter and firmly suppressed Old Woman Liang, forbidding her from causing any more trouble.
But the two elders loved their daughter dearly, so even though she had done something so shameful, they didn't kick her out and kept her and her children there.
They even gave up the house that was originally intended for their second uncle's cousin's wedding to live in for the mother and son.
This matter caused quite a stir at home early this morning.
My second aunt was crying and cursing at home, saying that my aunt was coming back at this time and occupying my son's wedding room because she didn't want my son to get married and didn't want my family to be well. She was making a fuss about dividing the family property.
But the old lady used filial piety to suppress them completely, and even said that if they wanted to divide the family property, they would have to leave with nothing.
They dared not tell anyone about this, because if people knew that his aunt had done such a thing, then the unmarried boys and girls in the family would never want to find a spouse.
Although her child is still young, he will still be affected.
This is why they agreed without hesitation when they heard that Lin Jiujiu wanted them to move back in.
At least, if people find out in the future, they can say that their children grew up with their maternal grandparents, so their reputation won't be too bad.
Lin Jiujiu did not offer any opinion after listening.
Lin's mother, however, seemed somewhat surprised.
"How could you come back after such a terrible thing happened to your family?"
Lin Yun'er patted her mother's hand and said.
“This is something we younger generation shouldn’t know about. My mother-in-law kicked us out early this morning, telling us to leave quickly or we’d be stuck later.”
Lin Jiujiu could tell from her older sister's words that she seemed to have a good impression of her mother-in-law.
Judging from this, the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not bad.
Lin Jiujiu thought to herself, if that's the case, then she can pay her brother-in-law a higher wage in the future, and also take more money back to subsidize him.
Just as she was thinking this, Lin Yun'er suddenly spoke up.
"My mother-in-law said that my second aunt's cousin's wedding room was occupied. In order to appease the anger of the second branch of the family, the old lady will definitely try to find a way to vacate a room for him to get married."
The mother-in-law said that according to the old lady, she wanted to squeeze one of each of the family's unmarried brothers into one room, so that they could make room for half a room.
We were already sharing a room with my sister-in-law's family, with nearly ten people sleeping on one kang (a heated brick bed), and we didn't even dare to turn over at night.
If another teenager is crammed in, how will we be able to live here?
So, early in the morning, not only our family, but also my sister-in-law was woken up and told to take her child back to her parents' house. The house was locked, and they later said they had taken the key and couldn't open the door.
As Lin Yun'er spoke, a bitter look appeared on her face again.
Liang Xing also looked guilty.
Actually, none of them were lazy, but the old lady just refused to divide the family property.
They also kept all the family's money in their hands. Although they hadn't earned much over the years, their children's weddings had cost them a lot of money.
But they gritted their teeth and insisted that they could still squeeze in two rooms.
However, with such a large family of dozens of people, the question arose of who would live in the new house.
No one wanted to contribute their own money to build it.
After all, the houses built now are considered public property. When it comes time to divide the property, they will be divided together. This is equivalent to taking out one's own money to build houses for everyone. Nobody is a fool.
It wasn't easy for him to save up two separate savings, some of which were his wife's treasured possessions. He was counting on living a good life after the family split up.
Conversely, as the children in each house grew up, they were not as enthusiastic about doing chores as before, since no matter how much they did, it might not necessarily be their own in the end.
This caused the Liang family, which was doing reasonably well when Lin Yun'er married into the family, to become increasingly worse off.
She also gave her most treasured possessions to her family, which made everyone in the Liang family dislike her.
They felt that she was betraying her own family. Since she was willing to take out her most precious possessions, why couldn't she use them to build a house for the Liang family and improve their lives, instead of giving them to her own family?
Hearing what she said, Lin Jiujiu realized just how difficult her life had been in the Liang family.
Lin Jiujiu smiled and patted her shoulder, saying, "Sis, since there aren't enough rooms over there, why don't you give up your room?"
Tomorrow, Dad and my older brother will help you move. I'm also planning to discuss Hua Ge's schooling with my older sister.
Hua Ge'er is seven years old now, which is not considered early for him to start his formal education. Since Xiao Douding is also about to start school, I don't plan to send him to a school. Instead, I'd like to hire a tutor to teach him.
"Teaching one or two is the same as teaching, so let Yu'er learn to recognize a few characters from the teacher. Girls don't need to take exams, but it's good for them to know more characters."
He glanced at Liang Xing again and asked with a smile.
"Brother-in-law doesn't have any objections, does he?"
Liang Xing looked at Lin Jiujiu's smile and felt a little creeped out for some reason, as if he would be dealt with the moment he refused. He quickly waved his hand and said...
"No objection, no objection."
