Reborn in the Seventies: Pampered Wife, Owning some Farmland-Chapter 580: Do They Dare to Be So Arrogant? _1
Mother Yun said with a smile, "Having one son and one daughter combines to form the character โgoodโ".
Now Mother Yun knows, no matter how many sons and daughters one has, what truly matters is filial piety. Just one dutiful child is enough. ๐ง๐ณ๐ฆโฏ๐๐ฆ๐ท๐ฏ๐๐ฃ๐ฆ๐.๐ธ๐ฐ๐
"When can the whole family get together?" Wang Jianzhong prepared to meet the other nephews and nieces.
But Mother Yun made an excuse, "Big Brother, letโs wait until everyone has more free time!"
Lin Meiting was an intelligent woman. Upon hearing her sister-in-law mention her children, with a trace of bitterness, she realizes there are untold stories underneath.
"They donโt have time?" Wang Jianzhongโs face fell in irritation.
Mother Yun had unspoken grievances.
She explained, "Big Brother, donโt overthink it, thatโs not it."
Noting that her sister-in-law was still reluctant to speak, Lin Meiting held her husband back, "There might be some reason she doesnโt want to talk about it, letโs not press her any further."
How could Mother Yun bring up the familyโs disgrace to her elder brother?
"I just saw Hanhan, she seems quite nice." His niece had mentioned Hanhan before, a good cook, hardworking, and raised her child really well.
Looking at this house, it probably wasnโt cheap either.
"Hanhan is pretty great."
Wang Jianzhong put Little Huzi down, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Little Huzi looked left and right.
Mother Yun sighed repeatedly before beginning to recount the family hardships.
After listening, all Lin Meiting could do was exclaim: Everyone has a cross to bear.
Wang Jianzhong didnโt even know what to say to his younger sister.
"With such nephews, I wouldnโt acknowledge them either. Too selfish. Having a good daughter-in-law is much better than this."
When Mother Yun brought up past daughter-in-law incidents, her words were filled with bitterness, "These daughters-in-law, they all chose for themselves."
Wang Jianzhong sighed, "If only you had been more assertive, things wouldnโt have turned out this way."
"Big Brother...."
Lin Meiting quickly said, "Whatโs done is done. As long as they provide support every year, itโs enough."
The purpose of having children is to secure elderly care.
"Three hundred jin of grain isnโt enough." Two people and three hundred jin of grain, how will it suffice?
"Prices have been rising for three years. Medical bills are split evenly among three families."
Lin Meiting wondered about the niece-in-law who was the same age as her own niece. How does she view this situation?
The relative is the father of the niece-in-law, right?
Today, the situation had gotten so dire that Little Sister and her husband were afraid to bring their own child, but since Hanhan needs to attend school, who would take care of the child? The task inevitably falls on the relatives.
"In my opinion, you should stay in Kyoto."
Mother Yun refused, "No, thatโs not possible. Hanhan is studying now and Ahao is the sole caretaker. Here at home, we can at least find jobs. If we stay in Kyoto, it will only lead to issues with Eldest Brotherโs family and Second Brotherโs family."
"Youโve always been too soft-hearted. If you had been more assertive as their mother-in-law, would they dare to be so brazen? The two of you are simply too gentle."
Lin Meiting agreed on this point. People take advantage of kindness. These daughters-in-law have pushed their luck, making the mother-in-law suffer. If it were her daughters-in-law, she would make them divorce immediately.
"When you got married, I, as your elder brother, was unable to provide you with a dowry. I can buy you a small house in Kyoto. It should be enough for you and your husband."
Mother Yun promptly rejected it, "Big brother, thatโs not acceptable. Those were things of decades ago. Now that I have my children, if anyoneโs going to buy a house for me, it should be them."
"Little Sister, your Big Brother has been looking for you all these years, always blaming himself. If I hadnโt moved abroad back then, perhaps our family wouldnโt have become scattered like this."
