Chapter 125 Relatives' Children
In fact, during the years that my cousin went to the south, she and I kept in touch on WeChat. When she was in the most difficult time, I secretly transferred my pocket money to her, but I never told anyone.
My cousin told me that after she brought her brother-in-law back, her grandmother kept muttering that her daughter was a loss-making commodity. She spent so much money to raise her until high school, but in the end she didn't receive a penny in betrothal gifts, and her brother-in-law's family got a free ride.
If I had known this earlier, I wouldn't have let her go out. If she had found someone to marry in a nearby village, she could have received at least a hundred thousand yuan in betrothal gifts.
When my cousin told me this, her tone was filled with joy. "That old woman tore up my admission ticket. I'll remember her forever. I deliberately didn't tell her about my marriage and married her far away. Isn't it said that when a girl gets married, it's like spilled water? I'll spill it for her to see!"
Yes, it's all gone, and you still want to generate economic benefits? Dream on! I fully support my cousin.
"Then don't you miss your uncle and aunt?" I thought about it from her perspective. If I were in her shoes, I would also hate my grandma, but I couldn't bear not to see my parents.
She was silent for a long time before she said, "Without my father's tacit consent, how could the old woman dare to tear up my admission ticket? How could she know the importance of this thing? She doesn't even know which one is the admission ticket.
Your uncle never cared about my exams, but the day before the college entrance examination, he suddenly asked me where I put my admission ticket while eating?
He told me not to lose it, and said that if it was damaged I would not be able to pass the exam.
At that time, my grandmother asked what an admission ticket was and what it looked like.
My dad explained it to her in detail, and I was so stupid at the time that I didn’t even think they would tamper with it.”
The more I listened, the more heartbroken I became. I couldn't imagine if my dad had done the same thing as my uncle. I would have hated him to death.
When I first heard about this, I was glad that my father could earn money and would not care about the tuition fees. But is it really just about the tuition fees?
My dad clearly said that he would pay for my cousin's tuition, but they still didn't let her go to college.
While my dad and grandma were chatting, I sent a message to my cousin.
Me: [Sister, I’m going back to my hometown today and may stay for a few days. Will you come back for Chinese New Year this year?]
Xia Jundi: [You're going back? I hadn't planned to, but if you're here, I'll take a couple of days off. I haven't seen you in a while.]
Me: [Smiley face jpg I haven’t met my brother-in-law yet, how about bringing him back with me?]
Xia Jundi: [Okay, take him back to meet the people. I was thinking about when to meet you. I have something to tell you. I will leave early tomorrow morning and will be there by noon.]
Putting down my phone, I walked around the house and went to my grandma's room. I saw a photo of my grandma and a little boy on the cabinet. I recognized at first glance that it was my half-brother Xia Yixuan.
I sneered and took out the photo, pretending to be curious and asked, "Grandma, who is this boy? I have never seen him before."
Grandma was a bit embarrassed and didn't know how to respond. My uncle and aunt also looked a little strange. My father said hurriedly, "A child from a distant relative took a photo with your grandma when he came to visit."
"Oh, a distant relative, Dad. What relative? He looks a bit like you." I said thoughtfully.
My father coughed twice again and said, "We are relatives in some way. I don't know how to count it. This child is your brother, right?"
Are you just introducing this younger brother to me in such a perfunctory way?
"Is he my younger brother?" I repeated again, "Dad, if you didn't tell me, I would have suspected that you gave birth to a younger brother for me outside?" I said half-jokingly.
