Locked: God is the matchmaker, neither you nor I can escape
Chapter 175 The Zhang Family’s Thoughts
After Xin Ye and Yan Yiyi came back from a day of looking after the store, they learned from Father Li that Mrs. Zhang had an accident.
The two of them couldn't help but look at each other: Uh... they haven't figured out how to do it yet, is Old Lady Zhang being punished by God?
Forget it, it has nothing to do with them directly anyway, so just let her fend for herself.
During dinner, Yan Yiyi formally asked Hua Murong to help supervise the building of the house. She and Xin Ye would go to the shop to look after it for two days. Father Li and Uncle Zhang would build the oven, and they would talk about the rest later. Neither of them liked being a supervisor.
Hua Murong would not supervise the work all the time. She only needed to leave a secret guard in charge. This glorious task fell on Hua Yiming.
The Li family was as relaxed and happy as usual that night, and Uncle Zhang's family was also relatively peaceful. Only in Old Zhang's family, except for the children, no one was quiet.
Old lady Zhang fell into a coma after hitting her head. She had a high fever at night and the fever did not subside even after she was given antipyretics. Several daughters-in-law took turns to take care of her, and the noise in the yard made the men unable to sleep well.
The eldest sister-in-law of the Zhang family, who had just taken a rest, returned to her room and lay on the bed. She found that her husband was still awake. After thinking again and again, she asked, "What does Lao Wu say? Although they have separated and lived separately, Mom is sick, he can't throw all the responsibilities to his brothers and sisters-in-law, right?"
Zhang Lao Da: "The fifth son's wife is still in confinement after childbirth."
"I know. I don't expect the fifth son's wife to take care of mom. What I mean is, doesn't he pay for mom's medicine? When dad took mom back from the public treasury, there was not much money left. She used all the money to support her good brother's family. Now she wants us to spend money to buy medicine for her treatment..."
When she said this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat and tears couldn't help dripping down the corners of her eyes. That was the money they had earned with great difficulty. Her own children had barely had enough white rice to eat, and all the money was given back to her parents' home by that old woman. She shouldn't be bullied like this.
No matter if they are her own children or those of other uncles, they are all her grandchildren. How could she have the heart to abuse her own grandchildren?
Boss Zhang could hear the strong resentment in his wife's voice, but he did not blame her. In fact, he was as resentful towards his mother as his wife. At this moment, he was extremely envious of the fifth brother, who had separated early and lived a simple life with his wife.
Because they had no children before, they were criticized for many years, but their life was pretty good. Now that they have a son, their future life will definitely be better than theirs.
At this moment, he wanted to divide the family. He was the eldest and his father lived with him. As for his mother...it would be better for any of them without her.
Zhang Lao Da turned over, hugged his wife in his arms, stroked her back, and whispered to comfort her: "Go to sleep, I will discuss it with some brothers. If the sky falls, your man will hold it up for you."
Mrs. Zhang buried her head in the man's arms and uttered a muffled "hmm".
She understood how difficult it was for her husband to be the eldest son. In fact, she was very envious of her younger brother-in-law who moved out with his fifth brother's wife that year. Even if she had to leave the house with nothing, she still wanted to move out.
However, her husband is the eldest son. The other brothers can be separated, but her husband has the responsibility and obligation to support his parents. She cannot escape the torture of the old hag. If the old hag passed away, their whole family would be relieved.
The second wife Zhang replaced the eldest wife Zhang to take care of the old woman Zhang. She stared at the old woman on the bed with indifference. If she didn't have the last bit of rationality left, she really wanted to strangle this old hag who only tortured her own family.
Zhang Laoer, who was alone on his pillow, tossed and turned, unable to sleep, thinking back to the scenes of the past years. When he thought about today when he learned that his mother had broken her head, his first question was, is she dead?
After learning that she was not dead, my first thought was not to be happy, but to blame God for not taking her life directly.
As far as he could remember, he had never felt maternal love. It was the same as having no mother at home, or even worse than not having one. He would rather have a stepmother who would beat and scold him, at least he could hate her and take revenge.
No matter how much resentment he had towards his own mother, he could not kill her. Apart from exploiting their interests, she did not starve them to death. They just lived a very tight life.
Zhang Laosan and his wife were discussing the division of the family property. They knew that there was no money left in the treasury and treating old woman Zhang would be a bottomless pit. If they let her drag down their entire family like this, they would have to die with her!
Zhang Laosi and Zhang Sisao were also unable to sleep and were discussing the division of the family property. As for Zhang Laopo's illness, they meant that it was incurable. They had no money as all the money had been spent by her on her good brother. Even if they went about smashing and looting, they would not have much money.
It’s not their fault that they don’t have money to treat the disease. It’s her fault.
After she dies, divide the family immediately!
After the fifth brother separated from the family, they lived a relatively comfortable life. They were not lazy people, so there was no reason for them to live so badly. They were in no way comparable to the fifth brother's family.
"I don't know what other people think. What if they are foolishly filial and insist on saving mom..." Mrs. Zhang was a little worried. They were all afraid of being criticized and scolded.
Zhang Laosi smiled coldly: "Whoever wants to treat it should pay for it. Anyway, we have no money. Our money was taken away by mother and sent back to her parents' home. There is no money for treatment at home."
"We all know this truth, but we are afraid that some people will be soft-hearted." Mrs. Zhang sighed helplessly. If the mother-in-law was a good one, they would save her even if they had to sell everything they had.
"Don't worry, my sisters-in-law will definitely not be soft-hearted, and my brothers are not foolishly filial. Even though we have been living in peace for so many years, ever since we went to my uncle's house and made trouble, we found that we were actually very dissatisfied with our mother, and even resented her.
Moreover, with the exception of Lao Wu, no one would not envy Lao Wu's comfortable life without the constraints of his parents.
Also, the fifth brother had come here before to make trouble for breaking up the relationship and dividing the clan, which shows his disappointment in his family and resentment towards his mother. Even if he has money, he won't give much, and will share it with us clearly. Maybe, he won't even give any money, saying that it was all used to save his wife and children. Who can say that he is not right?
The fifth brother has always been the most decisive one among us brothers, and he is also the most protective of his shortcomings. However, his only shortcoming before was his wife, but now he has a son. To him, our Zhang family is only a blood relative.
The fifth brother was raised by us brothers when he was young, so he has some affection for us brothers, but he can be said to be cold-blooded and ruthless towards his parents.
He hated his father for not doing anything. He was the head of the family, but he couldn't control his wife, allowing her to abuse his children. He hated his mother even more, for she was unworthy of being a mother."
The last sentence also reflects his inner thoughts.
