At that time, they felt that they were a family and should support each other, without thinking about whether or not it was possible.
But their mother-in-law told them that it's better to rely on yourself than on others. When they actually started earning money, they realized how great that feeling was!
That day, as they counted the money, their hearts pounded. After lying down, they both felt like they were dreaming. Finally, they pinched the man hard several times, making him howl in pain, and only then did they feel like it was real.
They weren't unaware that it wouldn't be good to let Kangping take charge of their future, but there was no other way at the time, and besides, they had already made sacrifices in advance.
But once she was able to earn money herself, those petty thoughts seemed to become unimportant. She and her younger brother and sister-in-law thought about how to earn more money every day.
How can they work harder? There's always a big pie in front of them: a shop, a house.
If they could never see or touch this pie, they might feel very tired and unable to persevere, but this thing is right there in front of them.
They are very happy because they can reach it with just a little effort.
The goal is visible and tangible; all that's left is to put in the effort.
When the two younger sisters-in-law arrived, they were a little worried that their mother-in-law would also bring them in and join them in their scheme.
To be honest, this is normal. The recipes were all given by my mother-in-law. If it were really like this, they would definitely agree, but they would feel uncomfortable about it.
Unexpectedly, she came up with a new solution for her two sisters-in-law, who were both greatly relieved.
Later, when her brother-in-law got married, her mother-in-law gave them part of the money to buy a house. They weren't angry. They had what they deserved at that time, and besides, the prices were high then. Her mother-in-law's contribution was quite generous, and she gave them plenty of face.
Unexpectedly, my mother-in-law even gave them some extra.
The mother-in-law said that all three sons were the same.
They were truly moved.
The mother-in-law helped them take care of the children, but not her brother-in-law, saying she was going home.
They were worried about whether their mother-in-law could take care of herself if she went back alone, and they felt even sadder because they didn't want to be separated from her.
They don't know when it started, but their mothers-in-law have become their pillar of support. Without their mothers-in-law, they always feel that nothing is right.
Later, when they returned to their hometown, they found that their mother-in-law was genuinely happy, her smile impossible to hide. Only then did they realize that their mother-in-law truly wanted to stay in her hometown.
Upon receiving the news, she and her brother and sister-in-law collapsed to the ground, feeling as if the sky had fallen. They struggled to their feet, their legs still weak.
They rushed to the hospital, hoping to take care of their mother-in-law.
My mother-in-law is very peaceful.
She seemed to have seen and understood everything. She went home with them for a reunion dinner and even prepared a silver ring.
They have a custom here: those who leave should have some silver in their mouths so that they won't feel attached to the world.
They hastily held the funeral, and only when no one was around did they break down in tears, at which point all their emotions could be released.
From then on, the mother-in-law who had protected them left.
Although it was their first time being daughters-in-law, they had seen too much: favoritism, beatings and scoldings, and sowing discord. Their mothers-in-law, while not treating them like their own daughters, truly treated them all equally and made plans for their future.
Mom, may you rest in peace.

Seeing everyone crying uncontrollably, Qianqian couldn't hold back her own tears.
Her mother-in-law was very good to her.
She knew what Kangping's family was like. In fact, Kangping had always told her the truth, and she had prepared herself mentally for the possibility of living with her mother-in-law after getting married.
I never expected my mother-in-law to be so open-minded. She helped my two sisters-in-law become wealthy and even gave them money to buy houses.
Everyone else thought that the mother-in-law didn't want to help them take care of the child, but that's not true. It was her parents who really wanted to take care of the child, so they discussed it with the mother-in-law, who agreed and even gave them a big red envelope. She also buys a lot of things for the child regularly.
None of the mother-in-law/daughter-in-law conflicts she had imagined occurred.
They even got along very well because they didn't live together.
She was very grateful to her mother-in-law, but she never expected that her mother-in-law would fall ill and pass away.
Those little ones also miss their grandma. Grandma taught them many things, and she would even help them scold their parents and uphold justice.
They would talk to their grandmother when they were confused, but their grandmother is gone now.
Grandma will never come back.
later--
All the children went to the schools they liked.
Kangping has always been doing practical things for the people and promoting the fruit industry in his village.
Kangping only learned later how much his mother had done when she returned to the village. The strawberries and loquats that seemed to be planted casually were actually based on the soil and climate of their village, and all the data was available.
Later, they developed their fruit and tourism industries based on that data; his mother even hung up some very beautiful tourism planning diagrams.
He has transformed the village into a popular tourist destination.

Kang Jin and Kang Song always followed their wives, and both families ran their own snack shops, which remained unchanged for decades.
They never thought about expanding their business; it remained across from the school, becoming the shop that many children remember. Later, they added other snacks, but the sign at the entrance never changed; it was always "Mother-in-law and Daughter-in-law Snacks."
They believe this is the best signboard, and even when their children grow up and start their own families, they will still stay here, guard this place, until the day they grow old.
When they get old, they go back to the village together to live out their retirement.
Back then, the village had a senior activity center and a senior canteen, where seniors could eat at half price.
Eating and drinking every day, playing cards, strolling along the highway, fishing—life is incredibly pleasant.
