“Yu Shuang, your second brother’s family has it tough too, we should help them out more. ... We’re all family, so please turn a blind eye to some things and don’t be so petty. Besides, it won’t be long before your second brother and sister-in-law have stable jobs and can afford to rent a place on their own. Let’s be patient for now…”
As soon as Yu Shuang received the body, she heard the man in front of her earnestly advising her to be patient.
What is it that I have to tolerate?
This man had this fussy, nice-natured look on his face, earnestly advising others to be patient, which made me inexplicably itchy to take action.
She said impatiently:
"Get out."
The man pursed his lips, assuming his wife was still angry about the earlier argument, and that conflicts should be resolved promptly.
"Yu Shuang...you shouldn't get so angry over such a small thing, right? Second sister-in-law didn't mean it...you already have so many lipsticks, what's wrong with giving one to your sister-in-law?"
Yu Shuang interrupted impatiently.
"Get out, don't force me to take action."
The man was stunned; of course, he didn't believe his wife would actually hit him.
He reached out to grab Yu Shuang's hand, wanting to continue persuading her, when suddenly his pupils contracted and a fist the size of a sandbag appeared.
"bump!"
The man was punched to the ground.
Yu Shuang felt much better now.
She controlled her strength perfectly, giving the person a black eye and temporarily rendering them unconscious.
Finally, the air quieted down.
Yu Shuang surveyed the room while receiving the plot information.
The original owner, Yu Shuang, was a local of City A. Her parents died unexpectedly, but she was wealthy and owned a house.
If nothing unexpected happens, she can live a free and wealthy life.
She happened to fall for Zhang Guohua, a poor young man from the countryside who came to the city to work. After they started dating, they quickly got married.
Zhang Guohua was penniless. He was the eldest son in his family, with peasant parents, two younger brothers, and two younger sisters.
He dropped out of school at sixteen to work. He was honest and kind, and didn't smoke or drink. After working for more than ten years, he was still penniless.
I sent all my wages back home to my parents.
Perhaps the original owner was attracted to him because he was an honest and filial person, which led her to impulsively fall for him.
After obtaining the marriage certificate, Zhang Guohua naturally moved into the original owner's house.
The original owner used his connections to find him a decent job.
A year later, she gave birth to a lovely daughter, Zhang Duoduo.
All household expenses were covered by the original owner's savings.
As for Zhang Guohua's salary, he still sent it back to his hometown to his parents.
The original owner was rich and didn't care much.
Furthermore, it is only natural for children to repay their parents.
She was an only child and received all of her parents' love. She thought her parents were the best parents in the world, and therefore thought all parents were like that.
Then, Zhang Guohua's second younger brother got married and asked the original owner for money for the first time.
He had given all the money to his parents back home, and when he asked them for more, they refused, so he had to ask his wife for help.
"Honey, please lend me this once. How can I, as the older brother, not be able to afford a wedding gift?"
The original owner felt that her husband's decision to give all the money to the family without reservation was a mistake, and suggested that he give half of it in the future.
Zhang Guohua agreed.
The parents in the countryside were unhappy. Their income had been cut in half. How could this be allowed?
This is the first time they've come to the city to make trouble. In short, they must not be shortchanged on the money they are owed, otherwise they are being unfilial.
They also cursed their daughter-in-law for being vicious and for instigating their dutiful eldest son to be unfilial to his parents.
How could the original owner possibly be a match for such a shameless person?
He's obsessed with money, and you can't reason with him. His wife even pulled his hair and slapped him twice; he was both angry and aggrieved.
My worldview has been completely shattered. How could there be such parents in the world?!
What's even more infuriating is that the husband stayed silent like a quail the whole time, letting his unreasonable parents throw a tantrum.
Only afterwards did he begin to apologize and say nice things to coax her.
"Yu Shuang, we can't be unfilial..."
For the sake of his family's peace, Zhang Guohua repeatedly assured his family that he would send enough money home.
The elderly couple stayed in the city for a few days, eating, drinking, and having fun, before finally heading back home.
Later, the second brother went into business, the third sister got married, and the fourth brother went to university. Zhang Guohua then approached the original owner of the body with a troubled expression.
Even though the original owner was unwilling, she still paid the money for the sake of family peace.
She originally thought she could live off the interest from her savings for the rest of her life.
But the money was spent far faster than she had imagined.
How can we just spend without earning and squander our savings?
She cut back on expenses and reduced the family's standard of living, and also asked a friend to introduce her to a job.
The salary wasn't high, but there was some income, which made her feel much more settled.
But in just a few years, the family's money still dwindled significantly.
The husband's younger brother and sister-in-law almost always encounter various misfortunes and come to Zhang Guohua, their elder brother, to borrow money.
They're all brothers and sisters; if I had the ability, why wouldn't I help them?
Every time, Zhang Guohua would awkwardly ask his wife for money.
Later, it seems to have become a habit, and the signature "feeling troubled" expression was no longer needed.
The second brother's business had been consistently losing money, and most of the time when Zhang Guohua asked the original owner for money, he was just trying to fill the hole for him.
Finally, the original owner could no longer tolerate it and refused to give it to his brother, causing his second brother's business to fail.
The family of four traveled a long distance to City A to stay with their eldest brother.
They squeezed into the original owner's house.
A home is a mess, and all sorts of conflicts will inevitably arise.
In particular, some people are dishonest and stole many of the original owner's good things.
The adults and children had a rather unpleasant argument.
Zhang Guohua introduced them to jobs, and the couple, despite having stable employment, refused to move away.
Rent is expensive in City A, and everything from food and drink to basic necessities is expensive. They would rather squeeze in a little extra than spend that money.
