Chapter 23: The Shadow of the Family

In the first few years of my parents' marriage, my father was always controlled by his father and stepmother. When we were young, my father's salary was provided by my grandfather. Because my grandfather and stepmother had many children to support, he only left it to his father.

Of course, my mother refused to pay part of the living expenses, so my parents quarreled constantly, and my father was always suffering from splints during those years.

In fact, for this kind of thing, a woman can slowly and gently bring a man to her side, because after all, we are a complete family. But how did my mother do it? She did not use the most powerful tenderness trick of women.

, but had a big quarrel with my father, which was known to all the neighbors and kept everyone in the family awake at night. Often in the middle of the night, the two of them would quarrel, and then my mother would start throwing things with ping pongs and hit my father. When my father couldn't bear it, he would

They fought back and the two of them got into a struggle. My brother and I were crying and urging them to stop.

It was in this messy memory that my brother and I grew up slowly. When we grew older, my grandfather's family stopped making trouble, but my parents' relationship was hurt, and my mother's temper was still so bad. But although my mother's temper was bad,

He is still very kind-hearted by nature, but the wife my brother later married was simply a shrew.

Because my parents had a bad relationship, they didn't have adequate advice on their children's marriage. When I was young, my brother was very good, handsome, had a good job, and had a promising future in a big factory. Later, he got hastily married to a woman, and his parents didn't.

To say more, I actually think that when it comes to the marriage of children, sometimes the opinions of parents are very important. After all, they are experienced people and can see people more accurately. But it is a pity that my parents, who have been arguing for many years, did not do this.

The consequences of my brother's later life were laid.

After my brother got married to that woman, the two of them were okay at first, but gradually my sister-in-law’s true nature was revealed. At first, my brother’s work was okay, but my sister-in-law only picked on him because of issues like making friends, but who is a normal man?

How many good buddies do you have? My sister-in-law’s approach is very extreme. She doesn’t allow my brother to make friends outside of work. Her quarrels are even worse than my mother’s. She can do it in front of my brother.

She could overturn the table where they were drinking in front of her, she could hit my brother on the head with a beer bottle, she could also stand on the street and curse for hours without stopping. Such a woman still has a relatively glamorous job.

So my brother has been putting up with it, and my parents' attitude is also that since they have children, just put up with it.

But such a marriage was always a time bomb. Later, when the state-owned enterprises were reformed, my brother's company laid off a large number of employees. My brother bought it out and started looking for something to do on his own. At this time, my sister-in-law despised him even more.

It was common for them to push him out of bed in the middle of the night and scold him violently, but even though they were at odds at that time, their little family was still going strong.

Later, one winter night, my brother and some relatives went out to do some errands. Unexpectedly, they came to a construction site. There was a trap there, which was not visible on the surface. As a result, my brother fell into it and suffered a serious injury.

The injury left him disabled.

A few days after my brother was hospitalized, my sister-in-law took him home despite the doctor's obstruction. When we went to see him, my brother was grinning in pain on the bed, which was unbearable to witness.

My sister-in-law put her hands on her hips and shouted to us without shame: "He has lost the ability to work, and he is still living in the hospital and burning money! I don't have money to pay for him! Come back and take care of him. Anyway, I left it here, he will be taken care of in three months."

I will continue to live with him, and if I can’t take care of him, I will divorce him.”
