Chapter 50: A tough moment
"Xiaoxiao, stop talking. That's all your sister's nonsense. It's not true! How could my mother want us to support my eldest brother's family? It's not true!" Qin Dazhuang couldn't stand his mother's gaze.
He spoke awkwardly.
He immediately denied everything.
Jiang Xin stood at the door holding the child, and was thinking about helping her husband to argue.
But when Jiang Xinxin heard Qin Dazhuang's words, she felt cold.
It's like this every time.
It's like this every time.
Qin Dazhuang always protects the face of Qin's mother and uncle.
But he never considered her and the child.
Qin's mother became excited.
My son said it all.
"What do you know as a little girl? Your sister is just talking nonsense. Look, my son can't help it. That's not true! Your sister is such a troublemaker. She can talk nonsense about anything. Doesn't she know that her words can kill people?"
Arrogant and proud, her son always stands on her side.
She is very confident.
Nothing else, her son’s filial piety comes first.
"Brother-in-law, where did you hear my sister tell me this? Does my sister need to tell me this? Your sister-in-law has spread the word to everyone at work, saying that she has a good brother-in-law who subsidizes their family 20 yuan every month.
He also said how good your elder brother was to you and gave you the job, otherwise you would not be able to earn so much salary now. He said you are grateful. I didn't know that you are just a worker in an electronics factory, but your elder brother is a driver in a cotton wool factory.
Your elder brother kept the good job for himself and gave you the bad one, and you still want to repay him. Brother-in-law, you are really eye-opening! My mother even gave her job to my elder sister and asked my second sister to take over the job. Otherwise, you should also be grateful and give 20 yuan to your father-in-law's family every month."
Qin Dazhuang was dumbfounded by what he heard.
"Xiaoxiao, your sister and I only earn more than 50 yuan a month. If we give our parents another 20 yuan, we will be left with nothing."
The embarrassed expression makes people angry and hateful.
"Yes, if you give 20 yuan to your elder brother, you won't have to starve, but if you give 20 yuan to your father-in-law, you will have to starve. What's the logic behind this?"
Jiang Xiaoxiao's weird attitude made Qin's mother furious.
"My dear in-laws, why don't you care what your daughter is saying? I've heard of people supporting their own parents, but I've never heard of supporting their father-in-law."
Why should her son's money be given to the Jiang family?
"I've heard of people supporting their own parents, but I've never heard of people supporting their own eldest brother. Since my brother-in-law is so kindhearted that he even supports his own eldest brother, then what's the big deal about supporting my father-in-law? My mother-in-law even gave the job to her daughter, so it's only natural for him to support his own father-in-law."
Jiang Xiaoxiao refused to give in.
It was this twisted theory that Qin's mother even used to show off.
Why should my sister suffer with me?
Qin Dazhuang couldn't speak. As soon as he opened his mouth, his sister-in-law blocked him and he couldn't say a word.
The most important thing is that every word they say is heartbreaking. What they say is the truth and you don't even have room to refute.
"Mother-in-law, you just watch your daughter being so sharp-tongued here, a sister-in-law scolded her brother-in-law so badly that he couldn't even open his mouth. If this gets out, your daughter's reputation will be bad!"
Qin's mother refused to do it.
She can beat and scold her own son as much as she wants, he is her own son.
She could do whatever she wanted, but she felt uncomfortable when others scolded her son like that, as it was an infringement of her dignity.
Fan Xiuying sneered, "Oh, mother-in-law, you are right. My daughter is sharp-tongued and I, as a mother, can't control her. Besides, my daughter is telling the truth. Can't she tell the truth? Even if an outsider comes, I have to have a fight with her.
What did my daughter say that was wrong? Break it down word by word and see where she went wrong. "
This would sound like a threat if Jiang Xiaoxiao said these words to outsiders.
Who wouldn’t get mad after hearing this?
I've seen biased people, but I've never seen anyone so biased.
It is illogical to let the younger son's family support the older son's family.
How could Qin's mother dare to lose this person!
If Jiang Xiaoxiao really went out and said these things, her eldest son would lose face, so how could she, as the mother-in-law, have a good face?
"Mother-in-law, what you said."
Qin Dazhuang was a little confused. In the past, his mother-in-law and sister-in-law were very easy to talk to and were indeed nice to him. But he didn't expect that today his mother-in-law's attitude was so firm and his sister-in-law was even a little aggressive.
He couldn't figure out what was going on.
"So what are you going to do? Is Jiang Xin going to live in her parents' home forever and never go back?"
Mother Qin took a look at her son's useless appearance.
She could only speak. She didn't believe that Jiang Xin had just given birth to a child, and it would be good for her to have a falling out with her husband and mother-in-law.
Do you want to stay with your child at your parents' home for the rest of your life? You know, your parents can't afford to support two people.
"As long as my daughter is willing, she can live in her parents' home for the rest of her life. How can she not afford it? My daughter earns a salary that is more than enough to support her and her daughter. As long as she doesn't have to support that uncle, can my daughter not support herself?"
At this time, Fan Xiuying showed the best qualities of a good mother. She was determined to give her daughter a strong backing and keep the door open to her daughter.
Mother Qin glared angrily.
Seeing his mother-in-law's resolute attitude, Qin Dazhuang was a little scared. What should he do at this time? He could only look at his wife with pleading eyes, hoping that she would come out to ease the situation and not make things too awkward.
Jiang Xin didn't respond to her pleading look at all, but just walked up to Fan Xiuying with the child in her arms.
"Da Zhuang, you should go back, you should go back with your mother. Anyway, you have been thinking about taking care of your elder brother and your mother all the time, and you don't even think about me and the child. You know that the child is so hungry. The child has been born for a week, not only has he not gained any weight, but he is also losing a lot of weight.
Whose baby is so thin after being born? You knew that I didn't have any good food and there was no food for the child, but you didn't even have the courage to ask your eldest brother and your mother for money.
Mom, you always say nice things, always saying that the money was borrowed by my eldest brother, but if you borrow money you have to pay it back. I can't let my own child starve and at the same time lend money to my eldest brother. I'm telling you today that I will live in my mother's house and will not go back. I will go back when my eldest brother returns the money he borrowed from us.
Of course, if you think it's better for a daughter-in-law like me not to go back, then that's perfect. Qin Dazhuang, please find time to get the certificate. We can go through the formalities and live our own lives. I can live my own life with the children and save you from trouble."
Jiang Xin's words made Jiang Xiaoxiao secretly applaud. Her second sister had always given in, but finally she stood up for once.
I don't know if it was my words just now that forced her to take this step, or if I was just saying it out of anger.
Anyway, no matter whether it was a momentary impulse or she truly repented, as long as the second sister is strong, her life will eventually be different from before, at least it will not be so miserable.
