Back to the 70s: My Wife is Both Fierce and Crazy

Chapter 37 Recalling the Past, Knowing My Parents' Humble Status

Uncle Bai had quite a lot of stuff, and he felt a bit bad about spending so much money, but looking at the pile of things at his feet, he felt it was all worth it.

Luo Chunhua smiled through her tears, gently stroking the things her daughter had bought.

Although she had never seen many of these things before, she had heard of them. She didn't think her daughter was buying things recklessly; on the contrary, she thought her daughter was doing a good job.

My daughter bought a lot of those expensive things like malted milk powder, milk candy, and brown sugar.

These things are the most nourishing for women. She has many daughters, and over the years, due to poor conditions, she has neglected them quite a bit.

Now that Xiaojing has the means, she's happy to buy these things to nourish her body.

money?
She doesn't care about anything else; nothing is more important than her children's good health.

My second and third uncles went back, but the children stayed behind; they'll all go to school together tomorrow anyway.

That night, as the mother and daughter were sorting through the things they had bought, Luo Chunhua, the mother, solemnly thanked her daughter.

"Mom, what nonsense are you talking about? I'm your daughter. Shouldn't you be happy that I can earn money? Why are you still being so particular about who your daughter is?" Bai Jing felt very uncomfortable after hearing this thank you.

This reminded her of her previous life, when her parents sold their house because of her nephew's illness and then moved to her second brother's in-laws' house.

The second sister's husband's family is of average means, but they have many houses and a lot of land.

And the location they occupied was also quite good.

The commune was built around a large river, and Ermei's husband's family lived right on the riverbank opposite the commune.

She could get to the commune by boat, which made her the best-married woman among her sisters.

But precisely because of this, her husband's family looked down on her family.

After the second sister brought her parents to live with her, her in-laws gossiped a lot.

Even though she built that home herself, not only her in-laws but also her two sisters-in-law gossiped a lot, saying that she was subsidizing her own family and even used this opportunity to bring her husband back to her parents' home to live, directly making her parents pay for and help them build a house and take care of their children.

The second sister herself was unhappy in her husband's family, let alone her own parents who were brought to her husband's family. Not only were they mistreated, but they were also treated like maids by her in-laws.

Although they don't live or eat with their second sister's family, they never hesitate to stay for a meal when it's ready, and they'll discuss the quality of the food.

For six or seven years, they endured mistreatment at their second sister's house. It wasn't until their grandson entered junior high school that the two elderly people, who had earned some money by farming and selling vegetables, decided to buy land and build a house.

When this happened, not only did the second sister's family disagree, but even Bai Jing herself was somewhat unhappy, feeling that her parents were making trouble for no reason. Although her life was difficult at that time, she had finally made it through. Wu Laosan had also grown up. Although he still liked to flirt with people, at least he could make money.

When their parents mentioned borrowing money from the three sisters to buy land, the three sisters were very reluctant.

Even if they were unwilling, they couldn't refuse once their parents had spoken.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. Bai Ling and her husband were different. They felt that their parents leaving them was a slap in the face, and that they were being wronged by living in their house.

But aren't you really feeling wronged?
Naturally, I feel wronged.

Although Bai Jing agreed to take the money, she also had a big argument with Wu Laosan over this matter. Whenever she asked him for help, he would always say sarcastic things to make her feel uncomfortable.

Although the words were unpleasant, he still did the work and helped with the tasks.

The third sister married the man who was the worst off among the three sisters, and she contributed the least money. However, her husband was honest and did everything himself, which made him the favorite of her parents.

The parents' favoritism upset the two brothers-in-law, who said things like the parents were biased.

Frustrated, Mr. and Mrs. Bai personally completed all the remaining work on the house after the main framework was finished.

It’s really bitter.

Mr. and Mrs. Bai were also hardworking people. After each family borrowed money, they reclaimed wasteland and farmed the land, spending four years to pay off all the money they owed their daughter.

The debt was paid off, but their health deteriorated.

The grandson dropped out of school early to take care of the elderly at home. At that time, Bai Jing herself didn't know what she was thinking, and she actually watched coldly.

Not only her, but her second and third sisters were the same. It wasn't until their parents passed away that they regretted it.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

My mother suffered a health problem when she was young, and she passed away in her sixties. She was in great pain when she passed away.

Unable to bear the blow, the father confessed his sins and then passed away.

And just like that, her once happy family was reduced to just her nephew.

The nephew, perhaps knowing something, left without saying goodbye to his three aunts.

When he returned, he was married with his wife and daughter. His circumstances were neither good nor bad, but misfortune seemed to have chosen him. In his early twenties, he was diagnosed with hepatitis B.

Upon hearing the news, the three aunts rushed over to check on them.

But is it too late to show concern now?

His nephew's wife did not leave him, and even chose to give birth to a son for him while she was still healthy.

Since their parents passed away and their nephew left home, the three sisters have never been able to reunite for a single year.

Either you blame me, or I blame you; we're not on the same page.

I don't know when it started, but they forgot that they were sisters born of the same mother.

The younger brother died young, and the children they left behind were all considered a burden. Afraid that he would come looking for them, they avoided him one by one.

It's fair to say that none of the family members had a good ending.

After their nephew fell ill, the three sisters had a good talk with him, and they all cried their eyes out. At their parents' home, where they were both healthy, the three of them knelt down and burned paper money and incense for their parents.

But the people are gone now, so who are they trying to impress?

After that incident, the three of them gradually became closer.

Also because my nephew is becoming more and more physically and mentally united.

No matter what, it can never be the same as the joy and happiness we had when our parents were still alive.

As Bai Jing thought about it, tears streamed down her face.

It is she who is unfilial, uncompetitive, and fails to fulfill her responsibilities as the eldest sister.

She only knew her own suffering, forgetting that no matter how hard her mother suffered, she never gave up on them.

Regret comes too late when you lose something.

"What's wrong?" Luo Chunhua was about to go to sleep, but she was immediately awakened by her daughter's crying. "Did something happen at the commune?"

Everything today felt like a dream. Luo Chunhua dared not fall asleep, afraid that when she woke up all the beauty would be gone.

But I never expected to hear my daughter crying.

Bai Jing could no longer hold back; she hadn't expected that she was one of those ungrateful wretches.

We can leave the father out of the conversation, but what did the mother do to wrong her?

Why is it that when she finally has the ability, her mother only asks her for a small favor, but she refuses to do it?
They made excuses and even accused their mother of using the blood of three families to support their younger brother's bloodline.

"Mother, sob, Mother, I'm sorry."

Although Luo Chunhua didn't know what had happened, all she could do now was hold her daughter and give her a sense of security. "Don't be afraid, Mom is here. If you've been wronged, tell Mom, and Mom will stand up for you."

Yes, parents may compromise themselves, but when have they ever compromised their children's?
