But two days later, neither of them returned on time.

Aunt Yuan Fei passed away in the hospital.

The two had no choice but to attend the funeral before going back.

Mother Yuan took the two of them to his aunt's house early in the morning.

The master had set up the mourning hall in the yard, and people were constantly coming in and out to help.

In addition to the eldest daughter who had been taking care of her, my aunt's two sons also hurried back.

Because my aunt died of natural causes at an old age, no one was very sad. In rural areas, such a funeral is called a happy funeral.

There were several mahjong tables set up in the yard, and everyone was happily playing mahjong and chatting.

There was a constant stream of guests coming to the funeral.

The people nodded: This is similar to theirs, except that playing mahjong subverts their imagination a little.

People in later generations really have no taboos.

After the funeral, the closest relatives had dinner together in the evening.

Uncle Yuan Fei said to his two sons, "Okay, the work is done, and you should go back to work."

Yuan Fei's cousin was startled: "Old man, what about you?"

"What's wrong with me? I'm just in the house!" The uncle glanced at his daughter.

"No, what I mean is that you can't stay at home alone. I have to go to work again. What are you going to do?" My cousin was a little anxious.

"What kind of job do you have? Don't work! Just stay at home and take care of me!" My uncle said and was about to end the topic.

But my cousin refused: "I don't have time, I have to go to work, and I have children at home."

When my uncle heard this, he immediately became angry: "Is this how you show filial piety to me?"

My cousin put down her bowl and looked at her father in disbelief: "What's wrong with me? I've been by my side taking care of Mom since she got sick. The second and third brothers came back once or twice and gave her some money, but what else did they do? Huh?"

The second brother was not happy when he heard this: "Sister, how can you say that? We are busy working!"

This sentence instantly ignited my cousin's anger: "You are busy with work, don't I have my own job? Don't I have my own family? Do I have to take responsibility for this old man alone?"

Before his two sons could say anything, their uncle started yelling, "Why, you can't even take care of your mom, and you keep talking about her every day!"

Other relatives hurried to dissuade them.

My cousin burst into tears immediately: "I don't want to say it, I've taken care of mom for so long, and it's okay if I have nothing! But don't think I don't know that mom gave all her saved money to the second and third children!!"

The two men looked a little unhappy.

My uncle was furious: "So what? She's your mother! It's her right to do what she wants! You have no right to comment here!"

"Yes! I have no power! Then why do you only ask me to take care of the sick child, and never mention the second and third children? Just because they are men, I am a woman and I deserve to make sacrifices for you!!"

With a loud bang, my uncle threw the bowl and chopsticks to the ground: "Fuck you! Say it again!"

"It's the same no matter how many times I say it!" My cousin wiped her face fiercely: "Forget about my mother, don't expect me to take care of you for another day! Don't you always talk about your sons? Let them take care of you! I want to see if they are willing to do so!"

"You damn bitch!" My uncle picked up the wine glass on the table and was about to smash it on my cousin's head, but Yuan Fei was quick to grab his hand and take the glass away.

The relatives around started to persuade him.

"Ouch! People just left, what are you doing? Stop talking!"

"Yes, Lao Li! Come on, sit down!"

"Okay! Let's not talk about this!"

"Why don't you say it? If you don't say it, it won't exist!" The cousin looked at her two brothers with a desperate look on her face. "I'm putting this here. You guys can take care of his life. I won't take care of him anymore. Aren't all these years enough? Even if I take care of him longer, what's the use? I can't change my hatred for him. You guys can do whatever you want."

The second one is a little embarrassed, but you can tell me if it’s not enough, is that ok?”

Before my cousin could say anything, my uncle exploded again: "Why are you giving her money? It's only natural for her to take care of me! If she dares not to, I will go to her in-laws' house and scold them. I will see which family dares to want her!"

"Old man, stop talking!" The third brother was so anxious that he kept pulling him.

My cousin gave a bitter smile, and then said in a cold voice: "Go! You are either you or your son of a bitch! If I compromise under your threat, I will immediately hang myself at the door of your room! Let's see who dies first!"

"Sister!" The second brother said angrily, "That's how you talk to an old man!"

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? Are you selectively deaf to what he said about me? You are such a hypocrite!" My cousin was merciless.

"He is our old man after all!"

"Yes! I have been kidnapped by this sentence for half my life! Now I understand clearly what filial piety is. It depends on whether the other person is worthy of your filial piety! I don't want to do it now." My cousin said decisively.

My uncle glared and cursed, saying all kinds of nasty things at once, as if the other party was his mortal enemy.

My cousin sneered, picked up her bag and left.

The second brother hurriedly stopped her: "Sister, stop making trouble! I have to rush back to attend an important meeting tomorrow. I am just in a bad mood because my mother left. Don't take it to heart."

My cousin looked at him sadly: "Do you think I am just fooling around..." Then she laughed at herself: "Forget it, how can I expect you to understand?" She raised her head again with a cold look: "Get lost!"

"sister!"

My cousin ignored him, waved her hand and left without looking back.

My uncle was still shouting insults.

When the others saw this, they also left.

After they walked away, Yuan's mother said, "She deserved it. In my opinion, your sister should have left long ago! She took care of her until her mother passed away. She was very kind. Your uncle's character should be experienced by his two sons! I wonder if that old guy can say anything good about his sons!"

Mother Yuan sighed, "Your sister has had a hard life too. She has been the eldest since she was young. Your aunt always says that boys and girls are the same, but when something goes wrong, she turns to her daughters. But when she has something delicious, she gives it to her two sons. And few people can stand your uncle's bad temper."

"Will you go back?" Yuan Fei asked.

"I don't think so. I also hope she won't come back." Mother Yuan shook her head.

The people were furious again.

"How could this girl be so rebellious! I think she needs to be taught a lesson! Her mother has just been buried, and she is already saying such things! If it were my daughter, she would have been beaten to death!" No, my daughter has already married, shouldn't this kind of thing be done by the daughter-in-law?"

"Haha, can't you see? I don't want to cause trouble for my son, so I keep causing trouble for my daughter!"

"So what? Isn't it her parents' responsibility to give birth to her and raise her?"

"So they didn't raise two sons? Don't they need to take responsibility?"

People with different opinions are about to fight.

The rulers and ministers of all dynasties kept their mouths shut. People in the future may say whatever they want about this matter, but not now. Otherwise, it will cause unrest at best and threaten the status of the ruling class at worst.
