The third brother is a habitual liar. I knew there was something wrong when I heard what he said. The guy she likes is probably different from what he said.
After dinner, I went to talk to him and asked him if he needed my help in doing anything. After all, as the eldest brother, it is my responsibility to take care of my younger brother.
He said no.
"Brother, I know I've been secretly saving money. You've always known about it. Since you pretended not to know before, just keep pretending not to know in the future. As for my relationship, brother, don't worry about it or ask. Anyway, I have the ability to support my wife and your future children. I won't be a burden to you and your sister-in-law."
I just couldn't stand him talking like that. "What are you talking about? How can there be any burden or no burden between brothers? Since you are my brother, I must take good care of you."
He shrugged, said "whatever you want" and left.
When my third brother's wife came into the family, my mother was still very happy. She brought back all the betrothal money she had given out, and she also brought back all the things she could have given out.
Although it was placed in their room for their own use, it was still in this house. When my mother saw that the thing was still there, she could only be happy.
It seems that what the third brother said was right. The third brother's wife's family treats her very well.
After she came in, my mother no longer had time to target my wife.
Because she is not as hardworking as the third brother said, and she is even almost the same as the third brother in that she likes to be sneaky and cunning.
Every time my mother got angry and wanted to catch them, they would run faster than rabbits. Sometimes, knowing that my mother was angry, they simply didn't come home for dinner. Anyway, they had money and the third child was capable of getting things, so they would never starve.
As soon as they ran away, mother started throwing things around the house.
I told my wife early in the morning that if my mother was unhappy, she should go back to the house and not bring bad luck upon herself.
I know my mother's temper very well. When she is angry, she will see that I won't say or do anything to vent my anger, but it may not be the case for other people.
My wife still listens to me very much. Every time she sees my mother getting angry, she quickly runs back to her room.
If the mother can't catch one daughter-in-law, she can only catch another one.
But not long after, the second son's wife also became pregnant. There were two pregnant women in the house, and the mother didn't want to move either of them. She was so angry that she started throwing things around in the yard.
Fortunately, the third brother is not a wooden man. He knows that he and his wife still have to live in this family, and his mother is not a kind person.
Every time after getting into trouble, the third child would come back from outside with a sweet mouth, and occasionally he would bring back a pound of biscuits or half a pound of sugar for his mother.
My mother also knew that the third son had a habit of hiding some private money, but seeing that he was willing to show filial piety, she turned a blind eye.
Although there were some minor incidents during those years, the family was generally quite peaceful. How could there be no conflicts in a family? The upper and lower teeth in a person's mouth often fight.
I often think that it’s not bad to live like this. Although my mother is always partial to me, I can give the part of her favoritism to my two younger brothers.
After our mother passed away, we brothers separated the property peacefully. Even though we were separated, we were still close brothers and could continue to visit each other.
With this fantasy in mind, I work at least two full work points a day and wake up early every morning full of energy. I hope our whole family lives well.
It was not until the seventh year when the fourth child went to the army that my mother suddenly had the idea of finding a partner for him.
He even says that he wants to find an educated daughter-in-law, but we all know what he is thinking.
I told my wife that this kind of thing still depends on whether the fourth brother likes it or not. I already owe him a lot and I can't owe him more.
But no one can change what my mother has decided, and there is no way to persuade her. I can only let my wife take my second and third brother's wives to find a girl with good character and personality.
After all, the fourth child in our family is not bad either.
In the future, if the fourth child is not at home and mother wants to take control of that girl, we have to protect her to some extent.
What we didn’t expect was that mother would actually use this method to help the fourth child succeed.
I didn't sleep the whole night. As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard the girl's screams.
But what can we do? That's the medicine for breeding sows, Lao Si will die!
My wife also stayed with me the whole night without closing her eyes. She held my hand and squeezed it from time to time. Occasionally she would sigh, "Alas, this girl has suffered so much. We really need to treat her better in the future."
She is truly a person who does what she says.
But my mother definitely wouldn't want to see her getting along with my fourth brother's wife.
I specifically told him to act like he hated fourth brother's wife in front of mother, otherwise her life would be even more difficult.
The result was that my wife got beaten again.
Since the third son's wife came into the family, my wife hasn't been beaten for a long time. I felt very distressed, but at least the goal was achieved, and in return my wife was able to go to the educated youth site to accompany the fourth son's wife for a while.
Although I couldn't sleep all night because I missed my wife so much, I think it's good for her to go to the educated youth site to take a break.
But since the fourth son’s wife was confirmed and he retired from the army and went home, why do I feel like my wife is becoming more and more disgusted with me?
In the past, she always looked very admiring and thought I was very capable in front of me. But since she started living with the fourth brother’s wife, it seemed like everything I did was wrong.
Even during the rare times we were alone together, when I kissed her and hugged her, she began to complain that I was not gentle enough, even though I was the same before.
I was a little confused. I am a man who has learned from so many people in the village. Could it be that my formula is wrong?
So I began to deliberately imitate the way the fourth brother interacted with his wife.
I basically don't smile at others when I'm outside, and I also have a stern face when I get home. In short, I just don't smile.
I will only smile at my wife when I see her.
My mother was very worried about me during that time. She always asked me if I had any worries, whether I was not full or tired from work.
Probably in my mother's mind, whether one can have enough to eat, whether one is tired from work, and whether one can read and write are the most important things.
To be honest, I was actually kind of looking forward to the fourth brother and his wife getting married soon, but I was also kind of hoping that they wouldn't get married so soon.
Because after they got married, my wife had to live back home, and she would have to work as hard as before and wouldn't get any relaxation.
But if they get married, I can hug my wife to sleep every night again. God knows how much I will miss my wife at that time.
