As for the woman's husband, he didn't utter a word from beginning to end, which shows that he must be like this at home, watching his wife bully his parents.
Because of concerns that the elderly man might get agitated and cause problems, he was initially placed in a separate reception room and was unaware of the situation here.
There were police officers asking questions over there. Although the old man didn't want to air his dirty laundry in public, he was quickly tricked into revealing information in front of the police.
After hearing what the old man said, even the police officers standing nearby looked indignant.
Damn it, why would I marry such a wicked wife? It's like marrying a wolf in sheep's clothing.
In the nearly fifteen or sixteen years since my son got married, the whole family has been financially drained.
According to the old man, his family was once a wealthy family in the village, with land and plenty of labor, and they lived a very harmonious and happy life.
But ever since the youngest son got married, the family situation has changed, first with arguments about dividing the family property.
Initially, the youngest son and daughter-in-law treated the elderly couple very well, showing them all kinds of care and concern. They also took care of all the housework, even picking up the broom if it fell on the ground. Back then, everyone in the town knew about this filial son and daughter-in-law, and the older generation was extremely envious. The elderly couple were also very happy.
In a moment of impulse, they divided most of the family's land and property among their youngest son. Meanwhile, the eldest son's family was forced by their parents to live in a dilapidated old ancestral house that leaked when it rained and snowed when it snowed. When the family was divided, the old couple protected the youngest son's family so much that they didn't even give the eldest son's family a bowl or chopsticks.
You should know that the eldest son's family also has a baby who is only a few months old and still crying for milk. This is a child that the eldest son and his wife have been longing for for more than ten years. How precious they are!
That day, after being forced to move into the dilapidated ancestral home, the child fell ill. The eldest son had no choice but to borrow money from his parents, practically begging on his knees, but the elderly couple and the younger brother's family didn't give him a single penny.
Her heart was completely cold. That very night, the eldest daughter-in-law took her husband and newborn son back to her parents' home, and from then on, she completely cut off contact with her family.
Over the past ten years, they have never visited each other. The eldest son and his wife are together, and their son has gone out to work and rarely comes back, only once every few years.
It's a pity that the old couple couldn't see people's true nature!
Sometimes, even if it's your own son, when he turns his back on you, he's worse than a pig or a dog.
Not long after the family split up, less than two years later, the old couple's life savings were all swindled away by their youngest son's family. Moreover, they had to get up before dawn every day to do farm work and housework, and the old man also had to go to the mountain to chop firewood to earn money.
The youngest son would occasionally go out to work for a few days with other villagers, but he spent most of his time at home, not doing any work, just waiting to be fed.
Not to mention the younger daughter-in-law, she never gets up before 10 or 11 o'clock. She's too lazy to wash her underwear and other things, so the old lady washes them for her. They're not well-fed or warmly dressed, and they still have to do so much work. The old couple aren't young anymore, so naturally their bodies can't hold up for long. They've been worn down over the years.
The old man is doing well now, but the old woman has been paralyzed in bed for several years and is just barely clinging to life.

Hearing this, the interrogating police couldn't help but feel sorry for the elderly couple. They weren't son and daughter-in-law at all; they were practically debt collectors.
