Maybe she is really old. When Chen Chunhua occasionally recalls things from her past life, she can't remember them clearly.
Especially Liu Ni's appearance. She only remembered that Liu Ni was a timid child at that time. Whether she was a girl or married, she always kept her head down and spoke in a low voice.
I heard her husband would physically abuse her, and when he occasionally returned to her parents' home, his face would be covered in bruises. But she never seemed to ask for a divorce. I also heard her children weren't very kind to her and weren't filial...
And in this life...
Ma Liuni is called the biggest weirdo in the Ma family by outsiders, and is even the topic of conversation among families in Sihe Village after dinner.
She earns so much, but she just doesn't want to get married or have children. She just busy herself with her career every day.
When Ma Liuni was 20 years old, Lin Yulan and Ma Dexiang were still thinking about arranging a match for her and finding a husband.
When Ma Liuni was 25 years old, Lin Yulan and Ma Dexiang felt that they could no longer find a suitable family for Liuni, so they asked Chen Chunhua and Lin Guoqing to help find one.
When Ma Liuni was 30 years old, Lin Yulan was so anxious that blisters appeared on the corners of her mouth, and Ma Dexiang also begged Liuni to find a partner.
When Ma Liuni was 35 years old, Lin Yulan cried and said that if she didn't get married, she would never be able to have children. Ma Dexiang also sighed and said, "Can you let your father hold his head up high in the village?"
When Ma Liuni was 40 years old, Lin Yulan and Ma Dexiang finally gave up.
Liu Ni was also curious about why her parents were always thinking about her getting married. Could it be that people couldn't survive without getting married and having children?
Lin Yulan said that a woman's life is complete only when she gets married and has children.
Liu Ni: "...Since I'm not fully developed, can I get disability benefits? Where can I get it? Please help me get it, and you can spend it when you get it."
Lin Yulan was furious.
She also told her to find a partner and get married first, as she would be happier after getting married and having her own family.
"Nine like you?"
Lin Yulan slapped her shoulder angrily, "Can you please stop arguing with me! We have family planning now, so it's impossible for you to have so many children!"
"Are you happy then?"
Lin Yulan said confidently, "I'm happy! Although it was a bit hard to raise you, now you nine girls are all living so well. Every day, someone takes turns visiting me and your dad. Of course we are happy!"
Liu Ni corrected her, "It should be the eldest sister, the second sister, the third sister, and the fourth sister who had a harder time when they were young. If it weren't for us younger sisters, they would also think that life was okay."
Lin Yulan was in the wrong and didn't dare to say anything.
Ma Dexiang said that no matter whether a man or a woman, as long as they are married, they are no longer alone and will have someone to rely on in their life.
Liu Ni: "What do you have for Mom to rely on? Nine daughters?"
"Don't keep focusing on the nine children... Those are all social legacy issues, and they've all been resolved through policy now!"
"Then what do you rely on for Mom?"
Ma Dexiang was speechless for a moment, and it was Lin Yulan who came to his rescue.
"...At least if something goes wrong, the two of us can discuss it together, without having to worry alone. If you ever become ill and can't earn money, the family still has someone else who can work, so at least it won't fall apart!
And when you get old, you can't be alone forever! There will be a day when you get sick and can't walk anymore! Wouldn't it be nice to have someone to take care of you?!"
"Everything you mentioned can be solved with money." Liu Ni said calmly, sitting in her chair, "And the thing I have the most is money."
Ma Dexiang was furious. "Money, money, money! You think everything can be solved with money! Can you really live your whole life with money?"
"I can do it! Why can't I?" Liu Ni rolled her eyes and didn't indulge her father. "Don't always talk so high and mighty. If our family had been rich back then, wouldn't my four older sisters have been able to go to school? My fifth sister and I would have had to work part-time to earn our own tuition."
Ma Dexiang and Lin Yulan were the least qualified to argue with these children, because according to Lin Guoqing, at that time, they were just responsible for giving birth, and as for raising them, they just gave them food to eat, and the rest was all raised by the sisters helping each other.
The fact that they were still filial to their parents was only because they were all daughters, and their hearts were soft. The nine sisters were united, sharing the burden of caring for their parents in their old age. If they had given birth to nine sons... well, even four or five would have been enough. Who knows how miserable Ma Dexiang and Lin Yulan's later years would have been.
The above is from Lin Guoqing's drunken rant to Ma Dexiang. Liu Ni agrees deeply with this.
Although the other eight sisters are married and have children, and their relationships with their brothers-in-law seem to be good, none of them can be said to be truly dependent on their husbands to live their lives.
From Dani to Jiuni, everyone is working hard to make money and build a career. For example, Sanni is still learning a new language. Sini stays in the factory every day to develop new fabrics. Wuni studied hard over the years and earned a college degree. Then she upgraded from a junior college to a bachelor's degree, took postgraduate entrance exams, and has now been rated as a senior teacher and is working hard to become a full professor.
No one is paralyzed by the comfortable life in front of them. Using social status to guarantee one's family status is the foundation for a woman to gain a foothold. Everything else is empty.
Mountains can fall and water can run away, but only by relying on yourself, no matter there is a flood or the earth explodes tomorrow, you can continue to survive by relying on your own abilities.
So what her parents said about having someone to rely on after getting married, Liu Ni curled her lips, that was all bullshit!
"I have money, so anything that can be solved with money is not a big deal. With my money, I don't need to discuss it with anyone, I can make the final decision myself."
"I have money. I have a physical checkup every year. If something happens, I can buy back my health. Even if I can't make money due to poor health, I can still live better than most people on the interest. I don't need another person to support me."
"I have money. When I get old, I can hire a caregiver or go to a nursing home. I don't need to get married and find someone to take care of me... Besides, women generally live longer than men, so it's not certain who will take care of whom when the time comes!"
"Don't tell me I don't have children. The caregivers won't take good care of me, and the nursing home might abuse me... Even if I had children, they wouldn't necessarily be able to take care of me sincerely...
Anyway, I have so many nephews and nieces, so I might as well make a will. I will leave the bulk of my inheritance to the one who is most filial to me, and we can divide the remaining small portion equally. This way, I will ensure that there will be someone by my bedside in my later years."
"Then give birth to a child yourself! Wouldn't it be better to throw money at him then?! Don't you want to experience what it's like to be a mother? We still want to be grandparents!"
"...Are you two still in need of grandchildren?"
