Three Women in the Cage

Listening to the worry coming from the phone, Tian Yun suddenly felt happy. The difficulties that had lasted for so long were finally going to be resolved!

She was so excited that she couldn't help but choked up and said, "Your elder brother's condition is getting worse and worse. He hasn't let me tell you, for fear that you would worry about him. Now I have no choice. If I don't tell you, I'm afraid you will blame me in the future..."

After pausing for a moment, calming down, he continued, "He can't get out of bed now, let alone live a normal life. I didn't want to disturb you, but the doctor said that without good medicine, I'm afraid..."

She finally couldn't continue speaking. The grievances she had suffered all along made her burst into tears!

Hearing Tian Yun's crying, Yang Ming frowned even more tightly. He didn't expect his elder brother to be so sick. He thought it was serious, but he didn't know it was so serious that it was life-threatening.

Worried, but unable to bear seeing her sister-in-law so sad, she comforted her into the microphone, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, isn't it just a matter of finding good medicine? Don't worry, I'll discuss it with Ma Mei and we'll definitely come up with a solution!"

He thought that as long as the problem could be solved with money, it would be controllable. As long as it was not a difficult or complicated disease, it could always be solved!

Tian Yun was sobbing, but after hearing what Yang Ming said, she stopped crying immediately and said into the microphone, "Third brother, since you said you would find a way, then I feel relieved! Mainly because I really have no other choice, don't blame me for bothering you. Your eldest brother has been making trouble with me because of this matter. Now I have contacted you secretly, and he might make trouble with me again. I am also doing this for your eldest brother. I am afraid that if something happens to him, what will happen to our family of orphans and widows? Now, we can only rely on you..."

Tian Yun didn't care about anything else and blurted out everything. Even if people said she was thick-skinned or her husband resented her, she didn't care as long as she could save her husband's life!

If anything happens to her husband, she has no idea how to support those children by herself!

I finally managed to escape the quagmire of my ex-husband, thinking I'd found someone I could rely on for the rest of my life. But ultimately, I was unlucky. Just when things were getting better, my husband got seriously ill! Suddenly, I was plunged into another, even deeper quagmire! An invisible burden, forced upon me, made my life even heavier!

She was worried and frightened, and didn't want to fall into such a quagmire again. She could only grasp at this straw and beg him to save her from the quagmire, so she cried to Yang Ming without caring about anything!

Yang Ming listened to her sobbing and couldn't help but think, if something really happened to his eldest brother, what would happen to the orphans and widows left behind? And how would his elderly parents accept it? Just thinking about it made him breathe hard! He thought to himself, no, it can't be like that. The consequences would be too terrible. He couldn't let that happen. No matter what, he had to protect his eldest brother, even if it cost a lot of money, he had to do it.

After thinking about it, he comforted the crying Tian Yun and hung up the phone in a hurry!

Ma Mei had heard Yang Ming's words and was a little unhappy that he agreed to help so easily. She wanted to explode on the spot, but for the sake of his face, she forced herself to hold back.

Now that Yang Ming had hung up the phone, he couldn't help it any longer. He stepped forward and said to Yang Ming in a blaming tone, "Why didn't you discuss it with me before agreeing to it?"

Yang Ming was still immersed in his worries about his elder brother's serious condition. Listening to Ma Mei's reproach, he said with a hint of impatience, "I'm going to discuss this with you. You heard it too. My elder brother's condition is serious and he needs good medicine to recover. Otherwise, his life is in danger. I can't just ignore it. I have to find a way to help him!"

His mind was now preoccupied with his elder brother's illness, so he spoke excitedly!

Ma Mei listened to his attitude, and thought about how much money it would cost to help them. She felt distressed and dissatisfied. She had always helped her eldest brother's family, and she had given them a lot of benefits. She thought she had settled the score, but she didn't expect that this family was simply taking advantage of her, and now she was relying on them to supplement their bottomless pit!

The more Ma Mei thought about it, the angrier she became. She was so angry that she yelled at Yang Ming, "Are you negotiating this? You've already made up your mind to help them. If you help them, you have to support them all the time. I tell you, I don't agree! The money we earn doesn't come from the wind. Why should you ask me to use the money I earned with great difficulty to subsidize them? Are we doing charity? Even if we are doing charity, the money we have spent on them is enough for charity. Think about how much money you have given to those poor relatives since I followed you? If not a thousand, then tens of thousands, right? Those I... "I won't say any more. You said they've taken care of the family since they were young, and you owe them something, and you feel bad and want to repay them! Fine, that's enough to repay them! I won't bother with it! But now, you're still using money to support a seriously ill person. That's not just a matter of a few thousand or tens of thousands, it's a bottomless pit that sucks blood! Have you ever thought about how much real money that would cost? Do we have that much money? Besides, we have our own families and children, and we have to shoulder our own responsibilities and obligations! If you help them so recklessly, how can we even live?"

Ma Mei's roar brought Yang Ming back to his senses. He stared at Ma Mei blankly for a long time, lowered his head in frustration, and sighed. What should he do?

Mother Yang stood aside, listening to Ma Mei's roar, and shouted impatiently in her heart, "Stop arguing, stop arguing! Please don't argue, discuss the matter of eldest brother! If you can help, then help, if you can't, then forget it! Just think of it as his unlucky fate. You must not let him cause unrest and break up the family!..."

After Yang's mother finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into tears and sobbed softly!

She knew very well the difficulties San'er faced. He had his own family, his own wife and children. How could she ask him to take care of them without any scruples as he had done before?

Besides, the eldest son was a bottomless pit, and she didn't want the third son to spend all his money and be dragged to death! She didn't want the eldest son to not survive in the end, and the third son to be separated from his wife and children because of money. That would be a sin!

After saying that, Yang's mother walked into the bedroom alone, closed the door heavily, sat on the edge of the bed, facing the door, tears streaming down her face!

She felt sorry for her eldest son who had lived such a hard life for half his life, but did not get a good ending! She thought about how he had delayed the best age for marriage because of taking care of his younger siblings. When he wanted to find a wife with a suitable background, he couldn't find a good girl. He waited for a long time in a daze, and finally found a wife who was married for the second time and had children! He thought that having a wife would be good and he could live a good life slowly. But when his life started to improve, he was caught off guard by a bolt from the blue, and their lives were instantly plunged into darkness again.
