Three Women in the Cage

When Tian Yun said this, she became excited. "If I could call, I would have called a long time ago! Your eldest brother wouldn't have waited until now. He's too proud to take advantage of the third brother. He said that as the eldest brother, how could I eat the third brother's hard-earned money? He has been forbidding me to call!"

"I thought, why not just lend it to me? That's fine, right? Your eldest brother is exposing my past again, asking me what I'll pay him back with? He's saying I'm still hoping to get it for free, so how can I possibly make a phone call? So, I'm just going to hold out like this, to avoid him saying I'm greedy! I don't have to worry about that!"

Yang Yu knew that his elder brother was stubborn, but he didn't know that even with such stubbornness, he still cared about things in the face of birth, old age, sickness and death!

I didn't know what to say to him for a moment!

But then he thought again, this disease needs to be treated with medicine, which will cost a lot of money. The eldest brother and his family definitely cannot afford it, so they have to borrow from the third brother. However, after borrowing from the third brother, they can never pay it back. In the end, everyone knows the reason and can only take care of him!

If it meant taking care of him, the third brother might not mind, but would his wife be willing? After all, they had just had a child, were taking care of an elderly person, and also supplemented the eldest brother's money every year. No matter how you look at it, they were doing pretty good!

If we let them continue to spend money to treat my eldest brother’s illness, I’m afraid there will be conflicts between the couple!

But I simply can't bear to watch my brother fade away like this!

What should she do? She was at a loss for a moment!

After a while of worrying, Yang Yu thought that he had to let his third brother know about this, so he took the initiative to say, "Why don't we give him a call and at least let him know? As for whether they take care of him or not, it's up to them. We won't make any demands! What do you think?"

Although Tian Yun wanted her third brother to take care of them, she was an outsider and couldn't bring it up. Now she thought it would be good for them to know! She agreed and said, "I think it's okay. Go make the call! After all, Mom has the right to know!"

So Yang Yu did not hesitate any longer and called his third brother's home. When the call was connected, it was Yang's mother's voice.

"Hello! Who is it?"

Yang Yu hadn't seen her since her mother went to live with her third brother. Now, hearing the familiar voice, she couldn't help but exclaim in surprise and joy, "Mom! It's me, Yu'er!"

When the person on the other end heard Yang Yu's voice, they also became happy. "Yu! Why did you think of calling me? It's so strange!"

Yang Yu's mood naturally brightened when he heard the teasing in Yang's mother's voice. Suddenly, he thought about the purpose of the call and asked tentatively, "Are my third brother and his family home?"

When Yang's mother heard this, she said in a displeased voice, "I was overthinking it. This call really wasn't for me!"

Yang Yu quickly explained, "It must be you. I haven't seen you in so long, how could it not be you! I just asked them about something. However, when they come back, you can mention it to them, it will be the same!"

Mother Yang wanted to ask Yang Yu to wait for them to return and then call her herself. But hearing her tone, she knew she could also take the lead, so she stopped worrying and said, "What's the matter? Tell me!"

Yang Yu hesitated for a long time, organizing his words before he said softly, "It's not a big deal. My eldest brother has been ill recently, and it seems he's quite ill. So, I thought I'd let my third brother know. Otherwise, he'll blame us for not informing him and treating him with disrespect!"

Yang Yu actually thought that if his third brother knew about it, he would definitely not stand idly by, so he called him tentatively.

Now that they're not home, I can't call them again, lest they think I'm coming just to ask for money! Now let Mother Yang mention it! I'll let my third brother know, and he'll definitely call back when he finds out. Then I can explain the truth in a logical way, and avoid being abrupt!

When Yang's mother heard that her eldest son was ill, she worriedly asked, "What happened to my eldest brother? What disease did he have? Is it serious?"

Three questions in a row, full of worry!

Seeing that his mother was beginning to worry, Yang Yu quickly comforted her, "Don't worry! It will just cost some money, but it won't be a problem if you have money..."

After hearing this, Yang's mother understood the reason for today's phone call and why Yang Yu asked about her third brother. It turned out that he wanted money, and who else could ask for money except San'er Fuyu?

However, she also understood that how could the third son be the head of the family? Without the consent of the third daughter-in-law, how could he move a penny?

Even if the third son used his own private money to take care of the eldest son, how could it fill that bottomless pit over time? Besides, what would the eldest son have to pay back?

She suddenly became anxious and hesitant, and didn't even notice when the call was hung up!

Just like that, after a hurried and agonizing wait, I finally waited for my son and daughter-in-law to come home from get off work!

Sitting at the dinner table, Yang's mother looked at her third son several times, hesitant to speak, looking uneasy.

Finally, when they were about to leave the table, someone called out, "Ming! Wait!"

Yang Ming looked back at his mother, confused. He felt that she was acting strangely today. Seeing that she looked very embarrassed, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you today? Why do you look like that? Are you feeling unwell?"

When Yang's mother heard what Yang Ming said, she became anxious. She wanted to say something but couldn't, and she was very anxious.

Seeing her like this, Ma Mei said impatiently, "What are you doing? If you feel uncomfortable somewhere, just tell us. If you don't tell us, how will we know? If we don't know, what should we do?"

Mother Yang was somewhat afraid of her daughter-in-law. When she heard what she had said, she didn't dare to delay and cautiously said, "It's like this. Yu'er called today and said that her eldest brother was ill and wanted me to let you know!"

After saying this, Ma Mei secretly glanced at their expressions and frowned slightly. Just as she was about to speak, Yang Ming spoke up worriedly, "Brother, I'm afraid your condition is serious. Otherwise, wouldn't your eldest sister have come to remind you? Let me call you back and ask for details!"

After saying that, he hurried to the landline, picked up the receiver, and dialed!

Seeing Yang Ming's attitude, Ma Mei didn't know what to say, so she had to follow him to the phone!

Mother Yang was also standing by, waiting anxiously!

"toot toot"

After a few calls, no one answered, and Yang Ming began to get anxious!

Unwilling to give up, I called again.

"toot toot"

After a few rings, someone finally answered the phone, and a surprised voice came from the other end.

"Hello! Is this Third Brother?"

As soon as Tian Yun saw the landline number, she knew it was Yang Ming calling, and she couldn't contain her surprise.

"Sister-in-law, it's me! My eldest sister called and said that my eldest brother is sick. What is the illness and how serious is it?" Yang Ming couldn't wait to ask as soon as he answered the phone!

Although he seldom communicates with his eldest brother, he has seen his eldest brother's support for the family since he was a child, and he has a desire to repay his eldest brother and eldest sister!

And because his elder brother and he are brothers and are family, he wants to help more. Now that he hears that his elder brother's condition is serious, he feels a little worried and uneasy!
