Chapter 1102: Give me a second child to keep you company (2)
Originally, the original owner had a good relationship with her parents, but after she had a younger brother, the relationship broke down. Although the original owner did have some thoughts and did not want a younger brother to share her parents' love and property, she was more worried in her heart. She was worried that her parents were old and did not have enough energy to raise and teach her younger brother, because today's children still need tutoring for homework when they go to school, and neither Mother Tang nor Father Tang were highly educated people. The original owner did not need tutoring from her family when she was a child, and she had good grades, but this younger brother might not be the case.
He was also worried that there would not be enough money at home. His mother could not work after giving birth, and Tang's father was just a chef in a restaurant in the town. His monthly income was not much. In the past, he could support the family and save a little money, but now there was a newborn baby, and the burden was much heavier. Milk powder and diapers were essential expenses. If he accidentally got sick, he would be even more out of money. What's more, the original owner was still in college and also needed money.
The original owner told her parents about her concerns, but her parents thought she was only thinking about their money, so they were very angry and scolded the original owner. They also told her not to think about the family's money in the future and that their property would only be left to their son.
In fact, the original owner's family did not have much money. They only had a two-story house in the village and a few tens of thousands of yuan in savings. After having a second child, it was obviously impossible to keep this little savings. The original owner also understood this. She did not care about her parents' money at all. She just reminded her parents how much effort it took to raise a child, but this annoyed her parents.
The conflicts became more and more intense. The original owner was not a person who could easily compromise, so she broke up with her parents after the winter vacation. After going to college, she never returned to her hometown. Her household registration was moved to the school after she was admitted to the university, so she no longer had any necessary contact with her family.
After graduating from college, she still had no contact with her family. However, she finally got a boyfriend and was about to get married, but suddenly she received a call from her hometown saying that her father had died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage and asked her to return home quickly.
After she returned home, before she had seen her father for the last time, her mother forced her to raise her younger brother and asked her to agree to bring her younger brother to live in the city where she worked. How could the original owner agree? After all, she had to work, so where would she have the time to take care of her younger brother? And she was about to get married, so it was even more impossible for her to take her younger brother to marry her boyfriend's family.
But her mother didn't listen to her difficulties and threatened to commit suicide if she didn't agree. The situation became so chaotic that the original owner's boyfriend finally found out that she had a younger brother to raise and realized that this was a bottomless pit, so he ran away in fear.
The original owner lost her boyfriend and was forced by her mother to raise her younger brother, with whom she had no feelings. She hated her younger brother and her mother who forced her, so she made up her mind to quit her job and immigrate abroad. She only sent some money back occasionally, but did not leave any contact information.
After twenty or thirty years, the original owner had a husband and children abroad, and finally decided to return home to take a look, only to find out that after she went abroad, her mother gave her younger brother to someone else for adoption, and she herself found an old man to marry!
No wonder she forced the original owner to raise a younger brother. It turned out that she didn't want to marry someone else with a burden, so she came to harm her daughter.
The original owner's story appears in the protagonist's story as a contrast. The heroine Qi Xinle is a girl from the neighboring village of the original owner. She also has a younger brother. Her parents died not long after her younger brother was born. Originally, she didn't necessarily need to raise this brother because she had just started college, but she said that blood is thicker than water. As an older sister, how could she not even care about her own brother?
So she was willing to be a nanny for her younger brother, and then this younger brother whom she raised caused her a lot of trouble. In the process of solving troubles for her younger brother again and again, she met her male protagonist, and then her younger brother, as a top-notch man, added bricks and tiles to the relationship between her and the male protagonist.
In short, the original owner is a background board. She is only criticized when the heroine Qi Xinle is shown to be kind and strong. It's nothing more than everyone praising Qi Xinle for being affectionate and a good sister, while the original owner is an ungrateful, ruthless and ungrateful person who doesn't even care about her own brother, and finally abandons even her own mother and runs away to live a carefree life abroad. She is so cruel and so on.
After Tang Shichu looked through the original owner's memories, he did not think that the original owner had done anything wrong. It was not her request to have her younger brother. It was Tang's father and mother who had him to satisfy their reproductive desire. The original owner also reminded her parents of the hardships of raising a child, but unfortunately they only thought that she was coveting their property.
Later, Tang's father died of a cerebral hemorrhage. Why did he have a cerebral hemorrhage? Because he wanted to earn more money to support his son, so he took the initiative to ask the restaurant to work overtime. However, he was old and in poor health. Wouldn't this overwork cause a cerebral hemorrhage?
If he hadn't had a second child, this problem could have been avoided and he wouldn't have died so early.
And Tang's mother, as the child's mother, is the one who should raise the child, but in order to marry another without being a burden, she forced her daughter, who had just entered society, to raise her younger brother. Didn't she know that this would bring obstacles to her daughter's marriage? Of course she knew, but for her own happiness, she would rather sacrifice her daughter's happiness.
Both parents are selfish, so the original owner, as a child who inherited half of their genes, was also selfish, didn't want to support her brother, and fled abroad, which is understandable, right? At least she is not really ungrateful, didn't she send money back to support Tang's mother in her old age?
From the beginning to the end, the most pitiful one should be the younger brother who was given to someone else for adoption. But there is nothing to be done about it, because he has to deal with a pair of irresponsible parents.
"Shichu, quickly hug your brother, he has pooped, I have to go find him a diaper..." The smile on Tang's mother's face froze. She smelled something and hurriedly said, handing the child in her arms to Tang Shichu.
Tang Shichu smelled the suffocating stench and stood up suddenly. Instead of taking the child handed over by Tang's mother, he said, "Mom, where is my brother's diaper? Let me get it!"
"It's on the bottom shelf of the closet in my and your father's room." Tang's mother replied. She thought Tang Shichu was hastily making excuses because he didn't dare to hug his brother, so she smiled and said, "How can you, as a sister, not even dare to hug your brother? You'll get used to it if you hug him more often in the future."
No, I don’t want to get used to it, Tang Shichu thought. Besides, it’s not that she doesn’t dare to hold the child. She just dislikes the child’s poop. Parents have a filter for their children and think that even their children’s poop is cute. But Tang Shichu is just a sister. She just thinks it’s smelly and disgusting and just wants to stay away from it.
