Tie Dan's mother's expression changed slightly, and she felt uncomfortable. She felt the same way. Although her youngest son was filial, he was even more filial to his wife and father-in-law.
"Second sister, you can't stand not stirring things up, can you? What else do you want my brother to do to you? He gives you all the family's wealth, while he himself starves? I think you're just insatiable, like a snake trying to swallow an elephant. Be careful you don't overeat!" Ya Dan said angrily.
They stirred up trouble the very first day they came back, as if they wanted to create chaos. No wonder my sister-in-law didn't want to come back; with a few troublemakers around, she'd have to put up with their wrath even if she came back.
Sister Niu's face immediately darkened, and she shouted fiercely but weakly, "When did I say I wanted all of Tie Dan's assets? You're talking nonsense! What I said was that Tie Dan is not as good to his parents as his wife. He spends 350 out of 365 days a year with his wife and father-in-law, but not with his parents. I was wrong!"
Tie Dan lowered his head in shame. He had indeed spent too little time with his parents, and his second sister was right to scold him.
Sister Niu chimed in, "Tiedan, your second sister's words may be harsh, but they make sense. You can't forget your mother after you get married. Back then, you ate so much, and the whole family went hungry to raise you."
Tie Dan felt even more ashamed. He was simple-minded and pure-hearted, only remembering kindness and not grudges. The two sisters' coordinated efforts were indeed effective. Tie Dan was now filled with shame and felt that he had given too little to his family and should give more in the future.
Sister Niu and Sister Niu Er exchanged smug glances. They hadn't come unprepared. Before coming, the two families had a family meeting. They were determined to get as many benefits as possible from this trip. The small mountain village could no longer contain them. They wanted to settle down in the county town, live in a big villa, drive a rickshaw, and become the envy of everyone.
They don't think their demands are excessive. If it weren't for their selfless dedication, would Tiedan have achieved what he has today?
The feeling of being hungry is unbearable. They were never full and still had to do so much work. They were so hungry that they didn't get their periods until they were seventeen or eighteen. They were as thin as sticks and their health is not very good now. It's all because of that hunger back then, all for the sake of raising Tiedan.
So it's not unreasonable for them to make such small demands now, because they are daughters, they go hungry the most, and they make the greatest sacrifices.
Tie Dan lives a life of luxury in the big city, while they only want to buy a big house in the county town. Compared to Tie Dan's life, their request is not unreasonable.
Ya Dan frowned. When she was born, her family had already survived the difficult times, so she had never experienced hunger and knew nothing about these things. But based on her long-term understanding of her older sisters, she knew that these two had no good intentions.
"Have you no shame? Who has paid for our parents' living expenses all these years? Have you contributed a single penny? Who built this big house? Did you contribute a single brick? Not only have my brother supported our parents all these years, but he has also supported both of your families. And you still have the nerve to say that my brother is unfilial? Ha, do you have any conscience? You'd better watch out and be struck by lightning!"
Ya Dan got angrier and angrier as she cursed. Ye Qingqing had called her before she came, asking her to help Tang Yuanyuan mediate the conflict. Outsiders already knew about her brother and sister-in-law's grievances. How embarrassing! And these things in the family are useless. Instead of working hard to earn money, they just want to suck her brother's blood every day, stirring up trouble and fearing that the world is not chaotic enough.
Fortunately, her sister-in-law and Uncle Tang were reasonable and didn't bother with these things, otherwise her brother's house would have been torn apart by them.
