"What kind of people are these!" Qiu Ying immediately called her mother.
"What's going on between you and Yun Ya'zi? When maternal aunt came to visit, not only did you not entertain her properly, but you also kept the money she paid for medical treatment? We are all relatives, how can you do such a thing? How are your father and I supposed to face people!" Without waiting for Qiu Ying to speak, mother-in-law started scolding on the other end.
"Mom, what are you talking about?"
"Your maternal aunt has spread the word everywhere, saying that Yun Ya'zi helped someone pay a hospital bill, and when the money wasn't fully spent, he transferred the refund to his own card. He then used the excuse of a business trip to avoid returning the money to the person. Finally, a word from father-in-law made mother-in-law stop in her tracks: 'Do you trust outsiders more than your own daughter and son-in-law? Even if they are living well now, did they ever cause trouble when things were tough?' My father-in-law, you are like my own father. Brother-in-law, I bow to you!"
7.
Qiu Ying is pregnant!
This is a joyous occasion for both the the Hu family and the Jiang family!
The company is developing well, and after three years of the epidemic, it can be said that it is rising against the wind in various industries. The housing prices in Jiangcheng have dropped by almost 50% compared to 2019. We have bought a duplex and are waiting for the child to be born, so that both sets of parents can come to accompany Qiu Ying during her postpartum confinement.
Qiu Ying couldn't help but call her mom. It's the off-season for farming now, and her mother is clamoring to come and see her daughter.
I drove home to pick them up and arrived at mother-in-law's house, only to find not only the well-prepared elderly couple, but also the couple of maternal aunt that I detest.
"Your maternal uncle's illness has turned into cancer, so he has to go to the provincial capital for treatment." mother-in-law pulled me aside and whispered, "For the sake of your mother, let's put the past behind us and not bring it up again."
To avoid trouble, I took maternal aunt and her husband directly to the hospital in Jiangcheng before bringing them back to our house. Don't call me heartless, but with people like her, kindness is not reciprocated and can even lead to betrayal.
Our new home is over 200 square meters, and Qiu Ying led the elderly couple around upstairs and downstairs for a tour.
The next day, mother-in-law suggested, "No matter what, your maternal aunt and they are here for treatment, we should go to the hospital to see them."
After buying milk and fruits at the supermarket downstairs, we went to the tumor hospital. Before entering the ward, we heard maternal aunt loudly saying, "I can only lie by your father's bed and stare blankly. My back is sore from lying down all night, and my butt is so uncomfortable from the hard bench. I'm almost seventy years old. You two can't let me suffer here tonight, can you?"
Cuihua said, "You've left all the money at home for my brother to get married. Let my brother stay here with my father."
"Why should I? So what if the one lying in bed isn't your father!"
"I don't care, unless I get half of the family's money!"
"You're just a girl, why should you get a share of the family's property."
...
The two siblings, you say one thing and I say one thing, neither of us gives in.
When we arrived, no one even greeted us.
Mother-in-law put down the gift, approached and exchanged pleasantries, unafraid to provoke envy, and began to show off our new house. Maternal aunt immediately brightened up: "Moving to a new house is great! Isn't their old house vacant now? During this time, Gousheng'er and Cuihua have been working in Jiangcheng, so why not let them stay there first..." Mother-in-law was taken aback by maternal aunt's straightforwardness and bluntness, and for a moment, she didn't know how to react, so she looked at me. "My house has already been rented out," I said.
"I knew Yun Ya'zi would say this. Isn't it just paying the rent? Who wouldn't pay rent when they rent a place? Auntie also didn't say she's living here for free. She also pays rent, a hundred and twenty a month isn't too little, right? For us Annam, that's like a hundred catties of wheat! But, can't you let me off the hook for the water and electricity bills?"
"What nonsense, my place rents for three thousand a month, and you're only giving me 120, not even enough to cover the property management fees."
I said, "I've already paid the deposit, it's three thousand two hundred a month, signed a one-year contract, and I'm moving in soon."
On the way back, my mother-in-law hinted at me, "They are family after all. It's not easy for them to be here. If you can help, then help!" I agreed with my mouth, but I refused to give them the house. Why should I?
8.
After the first treatment, my maternal aunt called and said she wanted to come to our house before returning to Annam to sit and talk with my mother-in-law. I couldn't refuse this, so when I got home from work, my maternal aunt and her family of four were already sitting in our house. Looking at my newly replaced curved screen TV, Gousheng's eyes turned green and he said, "Brother-in-law, do you still need the TV in your original room?"
The company just landed a big project, so I need to go on a business trip to the Jiangnan region. With Qiu Ying being taken care of by her mother-in-law, I can leave without worries.
When I returned a week later, I felt that the atmosphere at home was not right. Qiu Ying was avoiding eye contact, and mother-in-law was also hesitant to look at me. It seemed like father-in-law wanted to talk to me, but after looking at the two of them, he sighed and held back.
At the dinner table, the two women were speaking as if their words were stuck in their throats, and father-in-law kept sighing one after another.
"I've only been away for a few days, what's going on with you guys?"
"Honey, I told you not to get angry!" Qiu Ying was hesitant.
After I left, maternal aunt kept complaining, talking about how much money was spent on medical treatment this time, how hard it is for the two kids to work in Jiangcheng, and how much suffering the old man went through during chemotherapy...
Mother-in-law is overflowing with sympathy, persuading my wife to let Gousheng and her brother live in our house for a few days. But it's easier said than done. Gousheng sold the TV in the house, Cuihua had someone remove the air conditioner, and that's not even the worst part. Gousheng was bragging to a girl in the hair salon about having a house in Jiangcheng and how wealthy he is. Those who are street-smart are sharper than monkeys. So, the woman, along with a man, pretended to be in a relationship with Gousheng and her brother, not only swindling their salaries but even contacting a real estate agent to sell my house. Fortunately, the agent was professional and after understanding the situation, they simply ignored them.
When Qiu Ying went to their house with a gift, most of the movable items in the house had been sold off by these two people! Mother-in-law was furious and called maternal aunt, who said even more outrageous things: "Ying and her husband are living so well. Just transfer the house to Gousheng's name. We don't have money now, but when we do, giving them a hundred or two hundred thousand should be enough."
mother-in-law Only now do I truly understand the nature of this family. It's infuriating, my blood pressure is through the roof. When we tried to kick the siblings out, they refused to leave, saying, "We're not leaving. We're taking this house. My mother said we can have it, and I'm getting married here..."
father-in-law When we tried to reason with them, the chubby girl even pushed him over. My wife went to protect her father and got slapped by that fat, wolf-like man.
All three of us called the police, but when they heard we were relatives, they told us to resolve it ourselves. Then the siblings became even more emboldened, saying, "See, even the public doesn't care! I'm claiming this house!"
In the past, I used to give face to my mother-in-law, but now she seems regretful. I comforted the mother and daughter, "It's okay, you don't need to worry!" Liu Ruyan is the lead actress in our company's short film. She has great acting skills and is in a relationship with our marketing manager. I explained the situation, and then the two of them went on stage. Soon, I received a phone call from the police station: "Zhao Gousheng and Zhao Cuihua are your relatives, right? The one called Gousheng was causing trouble, and the one called Cuihua is suspected of provocation. The other party is in the hospital. They said you should come and pay for the medical expenses and fines."
"Comrade police officer, it's true that those two are living in my house, but whether they are causing trouble or provoking, as adults they should take responsibility for their actions. I am not obligated to cover for them. You should handle it as you see fit, but I definitely won't pay any fines."
The phone call from my maternal aunt reached my mother-in-law again, filled with regrets, apologies, and excuses for the children's behavior. My mother-in-law looked at me pitifully and said, "Why don't you go and pay the fine for them? It wouldn't be a big deal to have them locked up..."
My usually quiet father-in-law slammed his tea cup on the table and said, "This is the children's home. Who are those people to you? Have you lost your mind?"
9.
Maternal aunt The elderly couple came over, and instead of going to the police station first, they came straight to our house: "Little sister, our family really has no money, can you help us pay the fine first? Don't worry, this is a loan from me to you, I will definitely pay you back."
"Maternal aunt, didn't you save over a hundred thousand for Gousheng to get married?"
The old lady glared at me fiercely.
- Liu Ruyan took the house I rented according to our lease agreement. Gousheng took a look at Liu Ruyan's curvaceous figure and beautiful appearance, and then acted shamelessly: "Sister, my family is going to buy this house, so you have to pay the rent to me. But since you look good, how about we live together in the same house, and I won't charge you rent..." She even tried to hold the person's hand and touch their face. Liu Ruyan immediately called for help, and her boyfriend rushed in and started hitting Gousheng. When Cuihua came back, she saw these two people bullying her brother, so she grabbed Liu Ruyan's boyfriend and threw him to the ground.
Security guards rushed in, first protected Liu Ruyan and the others, and then called the police.
All the testimonies of the witnesses directly nailed the siblings. The police station presented two options: first, to compensate for medical expenses, lost wages, etc.; second, if forgiveness cannot be obtained from the other party, they will be dealt with according to the Public Security Administration Punishment Regulations. Liu Ruyan and her boyfriend firmly refuse to sign a letter of forgiveness.
maternal aunt The old couple asked me to mediate again.
"I can't just go and talk to them without any basis!"
"We'll compensate, you go and ask how much they would agree to."
I estimated that, including the miscellaneous items they sold from my home, it's probably around twenty to thirty thousand. Thirty thousand yuan in my hands. 10.
Gousheng The one who worksInstant noodle factory got fired, Cuihua The one who works at the restaurant also got fired.
A family of four is going to move into my house.
mother-in-law wants to be generous, this time not only father-in-law is unwilling, even Qiu Ying is annoyed: "Mom, you forgot that their maid pushed my dad and slapped me!"
Mother-in-law murmured, "Let's just ignore them. If they come back to our hometown, they'll start criticizing our home again."
Qiu Ying said, "Mom, people like them, if you give them an inch, they'll take a mile. Even if you give your all, they'll still find fault with you. Let's just live our lives well and not care about what they say or do."
A family of four came to visit again, and maternal aunt with her big yellow teeth said to my mother-in-law, "Sister, our home is big enough. We'll stay here first. Let Yun Ya'zi find some jobs for our two kids. The salary doesn't have to be too high, just a little over ten thousand a month will do."
mother-in-law Looking at the three of us who were united in rejecting it in a tactful way: "No, it's not possible. Qiu Ying is pregnant, her mother-in-law, father-in-law, and younger sister-in-law are all coming to stay, there's really no room at home."
"You're right. How about this, let Yun Ya'zi rent two rooms for the siblings, it doesn't have to be too nice, just similar to their original home will do."
I readily agreed, "Okay!"
Those four pairs of eyes shone like 300-watt light bulbs.
"That kind of house would rent for at least 3000 a month. How long do you want to rent it for? Give me the money, and I'll arrange for someone to take care of it for you, guaranteed no problems."
"You! You're living so well now, how can you ask aunt for money? Are we still relatives or not?"
"Relatives like you, we're better off without!" I opened the door and said, "We're going on a trip these days, so we won't keep you here!" The two kids were almost educated by the government, maternal uncle was sick and listless, old woman was throwing a tantrum, and father-in-law held up his phone and said, "Hurry up and leave, save some face for yourselves. Don't make me expose everything you've said and done in our hometown group chat! You've always been saying that our daughter and son-in-law are no good. Let's have everyone judge and see if it's our children who are not good, or if it's you who have no shame."
father-in-law has changed his name to "Jiang Geli"!
Seeing the mother-in-law casting her gaze on me again, father-in-law raised his eyebrows and said, "Go cook!"
The always authoritative mother-in-law obediently went into the kitchen.
I kicked four people out and forcefully closed the door. It would be better if some people never came back.
