He Ruixue thought about it and realized that even if the system was powerful enough to reward her with money, it would be difficult to disclose the source of the money to others. So she nodded and said, "Okay, then you can talk to my second sister. If it's inconvenient for her, forget it."
Zhao Meiya slammed the table, "How dare she! She's been out there all these years and her heart has become wild. I don't care what happens to her normally. If she dares to treat you badly, I'll take the train with a stick in hand to find her."
"You're just saying it. Everyone in the village says you love your daughter the most. Otherwise, how could you support my second sister to study for so many years and let her travel all over the world?"
"I have no choice. She is a stubborn person. Even ten cows can't pull her back."
Suddenly, she remembered something and her expression changed, with a hint of indignation between her brows. "A few days ago, your second sister wrote to say that she would not be coming back for the New Year this year. The rumor in the village is that your second brother-in-law died. Otherwise, how could she not come back for the New Year for two years?
She's become more and more unreliable. She already disappeared during the Chinese New Year last year, and there's no news from her this year. How can your father and I hold our heads up high in front of our relatives?
In the eyes of the elderly, it is an unforgivable sin for young people not to come back for the New Year. When relatives visit, they always talk about how their children are doing and then ask about the younger generation's situation.
In previous years, the Chinese New Year was always Zhao Meiya’s proudest time. Although no one laughed at her last year, she still felt ashamed.
He Ruixue always spent the New Year alone, so she couldn't understand why she was so angry. She followed her lead and asked, "Why aren't you coming back again? Did your second sister tell you why?"
"I told you, your brother-in-law had an urgent mission and had to stay there during the New Year. Originally, it wasn't his turn, but he was so kind as to take over for someone else, allowing his comrades to go back for the New Year."
"Isn't it good that my brother-in-law is kind?"
"Oh, being kind is good, but it's not like the people in our family. Being kind to others ends up hurting your own family. That's a real idiot."
"Brother-in-law is not that kind of person."
Speaking of her second sister and brother-in-law, one sentence can sum it up - "two love-brained people running towards each other in both directions."
If one party is even slightly unfeeling, it will be a complete tragedy.
The second sister, He Xiasheng, is a standard heroine in old-fashioned melodramas. In order to accompany her husband, she was willing to give up her future, refused the generous treatment of a big hospital, and ran to a desolate island to join the army.
That’s not all. What’s even more shocking is that when she was seven months pregnant, she heard that her husband was seriously injured while intercepting an enemy torpedo. Despite all the dissuasion, she insisted on performing the surgery herself with her belly bulging.
The operation lasted thirteen hours. She was afraid of missing the opportunity for rescue, so she did not eat or drink during the whole process and was highly concentrated. She fainted after the operation was finished.
After waking up, she found out that the children were born prematurely and had a difficult birth. Fortunately, the twins were lucky enough to grow up healthily, but she herself had lost her fertility.
Instead of being sad, she felt fortunate, saying that it was worth sacrificing her unknown future child in exchange for her husband's survival.
To nourish her husband, she went out to the sea with others in the cold weather, her heels froze and bled, and she ran into the woods to pick medicinal herbs and was bitten by a venomous snake...
She has done a lot of similar stupid things without caring about her health. She is the ultimate love-brained person that even zombies passing by would despise.
My second brother-in-law, Qiao Rui, is no less capable. Although he is an indecisive person at heart, he firmly stands on his wife's side and does not hesitate to fight with his parents.
Because of a trivial matter in the eyes of others, he had a very embarrassing quarrel with his family and even completely cut off all contact with them.
Qiao Rui has five brothers and sisters in his family. He is the middle one and the least valued. Because he is very strong, he has done the most work and eaten the least since he was a child. He is treated like an old ox by the whole family.
He was so hungry that he quietly went outside to find some food, but it was always snatched away by his eldest brother. His parents only favored the eldest son. Not only did they not care about him, they also scolded him for being heartless and eating alone.
He was forced to join the army. He fought outside in the midst of artillery fire for five consecutive years without going home. There was not even a word of concern from his family. If it were not for the few dollars he received from the army every month, his parents would have thought he was dead.
Qiao's mother wanted him to marry her niece from her mother's side, but Qiao Rui ignored her and directly reported the marriage. When her mother heard the news, she came and made a fuss.
He threatened coldly, "What you're doing is destroying a military marriage. If you're not afraid of being locked up, then go ahead."
Qiao's mother was so angry that she rushed to her second sister's house, snatched the twins' toys and food, and gave them all to her eldest brother's son. When Qiao Rui came back, the twins were crying in the corner.
He carried the child to the bedroom, and then hit his eldest brother with his sandbag-sized fists, causing his eyes to crack, blood to spit out of his mouth, and half of his face to be swollen.
Mother Qiao felt sorry for her eldest son and cursed him non-stop, "You plague-monger! How dare you lay hands on your eldest brother? You unfilial son! The commander must have been blind to promote you to an official position! Stop hitting me! I'll sue you!"
Qiao Rui was determined and didn't budge. "Go ahead and sue me. I'm unfilial. At worst, I won't have a future. If you're capable, just force me to retire. Then, my brother won't be able to survive. I mean what I say!"
His expression at that time was very serious. Not only was Qiao's mother frightened, but the elders who followed were also shocked.
Of course, they were unwilling to ruin the future of this rare and promising descendant of the Qiao family, so they quickly dragged his mother back and dared not let her cause trouble again.
Two years later, Qiao Rui calmed down a little and thought about taking his wife and children back to the village to visit.
As a result, his mother and sisters-in-law were so disgusting that they stuffed all the family's dirty clothes into He Xiasheng's hands in the middle of winter and asked her to go to the river to wash them. They would not let her in until the clothes were clean. After the clothes were washed, they had to cook a meal, which must include meat and fish, saying that it was a test for the new daughter-in-law.
Qiao Rui was furious at the time. He rolled up his sleeves and started fighting with them. He was one against five, hitting the men with a stick, and his whole body was filled with cold anger.
