Liu Yafang lowered her head, with a bitter face and said nothing.
The old uncle was furious. What he hated most was the miserable look of his niece.
How can you live a happy life if you keep silent and never smile no matter whether the times are good or bad?
"What's wrong? My words are not working?!"
Liu Yafang was startled by the sudden loud voice and quickly looked up and whispered in defense:
"No, uncle, it's my fault for not speaking well."
My uncle has been a nagging man since he was young, and he likes to meddle in other people's affairs. Otherwise, he would not have come to visit because his sister was partial to him.
Seeing Liu Yafang mumbling without breathing, he was so angry that he lit his pipe and took a few puffs, almost choking:
"Yes, your family is doing well now. People say your brother-in-law bought it for you. It seems good that you two are just sitting around at home doing nothing."
But why do you seem to be clueless?
Your brother-in-law was able to open a business for his married sister. He moved from the town to the county. I heard that he made a lot of money every day.
Humph! You and Tie Gang are so good, you almost broke up because of his family. Your legs are lame, your face turns green from hunger year after year, and you just stay at home like this?
How come I didn’t know that you guys took over that business? Your sister-in-law took the Bi family’s wealth away!
You're such a good-for-nothing, just eat something nice…" The old uncle shook the new quilt twice in anger and continued, "Just cover yourself with something nice, and that's it? You're so short-sighted!"
Liu Yafang felt it was so sudden. How did the matter of dating come to this point?
"No, let's go to Kyoto. I thought it would be after the New Year, so I didn't tell you."
My uncle was choked.
Well, all his worries were in vain. He snorted again and pushed away his niece who was anxiously patting his back:
"You, whether it's for money or to find a partner for your brother-in-law, you have to hold on!
You have to keep the money in your hands, and you have the final say in his affairs!
Over the years, he had suffered so much, sent off the old lady of the Bi family, and served the old man. Even if he had no credit, he had worked hard!
Besides, what big deal could happen to anyone? For us farmers, raising an elderly person is our greatest achievement, especially since your old man is still lying on the kang, covered in feces and urine. You have to make Tiegang and his brothers respect you, and you have the final say in the Bi family, and you have to manage the money.
Don't be so stubborn just because your brother-in-law has just become capable for a few days. He is letting you live a good life now, but I tell you, he deserves it."
Wang Yafang's face showed embarrassment and negotiation, but she was actually moved by what she heard.
Her uncle's summary sounded easy, but it was indeed the result of her hard work day after day, year after year.
She could endure being hungry for a day or two, but she could endure it for seven years. Many times she was so miserable that she almost didn't want to live anymore.
The moment when Bi Tiegang came down from the mountain with a limp and was carried down;
Her daughter committed suicide by taking poison and lying on the kang;
Her two children were in their teens and went to the brick factory to carry bricks for others. At night, Bi Cheng lay on the kang, feeling sleepy but unable to sleep well.
Why? Her eldest son used the exact words: "Mom, I can't sleep anymore." She couldn't even sleep anymore. She was so tired that her whole body felt out of place and she was groaning in pain.
Her daughter got such good grades in the exam, but because of her criminal uncle, she was framed by someone and her bonus was deducted, and her place was almost taken away.
If there were no brother-in-law, and if nothing had happened to him, their family would at least have lived the life of an ordinary family in the village, and would not have been a well-known poor family in the surrounding villages.
Other people's family are famous for being rich, but her family is different. They are famous for being poor.
Over the years, people have been pointing fingers at me and talking bad about me.
Those who borrow money from her family should just be polite, but those who owe each other money should not get together to criticize her family.
The village is so small that people see each other everywhere. How many years have she and Goudan's father been like this?
Later, it became even more bizarre. Whenever she went to other villages, people would point at her and sigh at her. She had to behave herself wherever she went.
Just like now, very much like now.
Now, no matter whether her family borrows money or not, or whether they can get the reputation of the Bi family, they all look up to her.
Some of them I didn’t even know, but I still greeted them from a distance.
Liu Yafang was mentioned and recalled by her uncle for just two minutes, which was quite emotional.
People are just so fond of showing off. If someone's not doing well, they'll kick and smack them, but if someone's doing well, they'll flatter everyone they meet, even if they don't ask for anything. She now understands why so many people love to brag. She no longer resents her sister-in-law's boasting in the county town.
Liu Yafang spoke directly this time and said:
"Uncle, I know what's going on!"
My uncle is really a dear uncle. He is so worried and worried about his niece.
He half-closed his eyes in the smoke and leaned forward. This time he spoke softly, not wanting anyone eavesdropping to hear him. He stared at Liu Yafang with clear eyes and whispered vaguely:
"Brother Tiegang needs to get married and have kids, right? Take advantage of the fact that he's on his own now and you don't have a wife yet, so hold on to his money. No matter how capable he is, once he gets married and has a wife to manage the money, it will be difficult for you to spend or ask for a penny!"
Instead of thinking about yourself and Tiegang, you should think about Dacheng and Goudan, right?
There are two boys in the family. When they get married and build a big house, they will need money. When your brother's wife comes home and has a few more boys, your brother-in-law will have nothing to do with Dacheng and Goudan.
