Three Women in the Cage

She truly loved her eldest son. He had worked hard for half his life and finally found a wife, but he hadn't even had a few days of good life! He had become ill and wasted his best years.

She even wondered if her eldest son had not married that wife in the first place, he would not have brought with him a bunch of children. Without those children, he would not have developed so many illnesses. Without those illnesses, would he have been able to live a healthy life?

Besides, if she doesn't come to San'er's place, just like before, staying in that old house and guarding Da'er, wouldn't she be able to live comfortably and her husband wouldn't have to feel wronged? Da'er would always be Da'er and there would be no gap between them!

Since when did everything become uncontrollable and go off track in a direction that is getting worse and worse!

She began to not understand and was not clear!

It was like a complete mess, everyone was so helpless!

She began to miss her husband, her eldest son, and the grandchildren she had raised with great difficulty!

Ma Mei looked at the depressed Yang Ming and couldn't bear to see him so depressed. After struggling for a while, she finally sighed and said, "I really admire your family! You are poor but you have so many things to do. If it were an ordinary person, I would be dragged to death. I didn't want to care about these troubles at all! But what can I do? Since you and I are one, how can I let you suffer alone? I know you must be worried. I have thought about it. How about this? Let's go back and visit him first. If we can get some money and he can be cured, we will pay for it! But if you have to use money to keep him alive, you must listen to me. You can't waste money like this! This is very unwise. He suffers and we suffer too. It is absolutely meaningless! Do you understand what I mean?..."

Yang Ming knew all this, but he just couldn't accept it. He could obviously use money to extend his elder brother's life, but he was reluctant to give up the money and had to watch his elder brother fade away!

How could he bear it! That was his eldest brother, the one who had helped his parents support the family since he was a child! Although they rarely spoke to each other, the gratitude engraved in their hearts could never be erased!

However, he couldn't just squander his money to keep his eldest brother alive! He still had a home, a wife, children, and parents. He couldn't abandon his responsibilities and obligations!

With his eyes closed, he really couldn't respond to Ma Mei. At this moment, he felt as if his throat was cut by a knife, and the pain was so severe that he couldn't make a sound!

Ma Mei knew he was in trouble, and without listening to his response, she continued, "That's settled! We'll go back tomorrow. I'll call my sister-in-law and let her know in advance! Don't worry about it alone. Let's wait until we get back and see what's going on."

After saying that, she left Yang Ming alone in silence and walked straight to Yang's mother's room. She knocked on the door and said, "Mom! Pack up and come back with us tomorrow! Big brother has had such an incident, it's only right that we go back to visit him. It's also perfect since you haven't seen the old man for a long time. This time when you go back, you can have a good chat with him!"

Mother Yang didn't expect them to reach an agreement so quickly. After listening to what was said outside, she wiped away her tears and quickly agreed, "I know. I'll take care of it right away!"

She really missed her husband, her eldest son and her grandchildren, so she stopped being sad and started to get busy!

Tian Yun received a call from Ma Mei saying she was coming back, and immediately told Yang Yu, anxiously asking, "What do you think of their sudden return? Did they agree to take the money, or did they come back to check on Big Brother?"

It's no wonder Tian Yun was confused. After all, it was Yang Ming who called, offering to help! But it was Ma Mei who called back, saying she had to come back, and she didn't tell her what they had discussed. Seeing this, she knew something was wrong, so she hurried to ask Yang Yu!

Yang Yu didn't know their situation, but he thought, eventually he would come back and see what they said. There would be a result after all! So he said to Tian Yun, "No matter what! Let's wait until they come back!"

As they were talking, the phone rang again. Tian Yun asked with a puzzled look on her face, "Another call? Is there something new?"

After saying that, he came to the phone, picked up the receiver, and said in a gentle voice, "Hello! Sister-in-law?"

But I didn't expect another voice to come from the microphone

"Sister-in-law! It's me, Yang Su."

Yang Su's deep voice came.

Tian Yun didn't react for a moment and was stunned for a while. She never expected that her sister-in-law would call her at this time.

So he asked in confusion, "Sister-in-law? This is..."

Yang Su said angrily, "What? Big brother is sick and called third brother, why didn't you tell me? Do you dislike me?"

Today, she suddenly received a call from her third sister-in-law, saying that she was coming back. She didn't understand the situation at first! Later, she heard that her eldest brother was seriously ill and they came back to visit him. When she asked her if she knew the situation, she was speechless and said that she didn't know. This made her third sister-in-law feel very strange and made her feel very heartless!

So I called to ask, but I never expected that my sister-in-law would be so suspicious of me calling her, which made me feel unhappy!

It wasn't that Tian Yun didn't say anything on purpose. When she started to feel sick, she didn't tell anyone because she knew that even if she told her elder and younger sisters-in-law, it would be useless! They couldn't wait on her personally, nor could they afford to pay her a penny. Telling them would only cause more trouble for everyone. She was already troubled enough, so why bother worrying others?

Later, the elder sister-in-law found out that it was Yang's father who made a fuss and went to find the elder sister-in-law, otherwise the elder sister-in-law would not know at this time!

As for why Yang's father didn't go to find his sister-in-law, she thought, maybe even Yang's father knew that the elder sister-in-law was more reliable than the younger sister-in-law!

The sister-in-law was restricted by her husband's family and could not get close to them. She was full of disgust towards them. Over time, the relationship between the sister-in-law and them became more and more distant. Invisibly, when there was something, they naturally did not want to go to her.

I was afraid that if I went to find her secretly, she would dislike me, and her in-laws would also dislike me!

There was no way she could tell her third brother. She didn't care about her face in the face of life and death. Moreover, she knew that her third brother didn't despise them and had the ability to help them, so she informed him.

Now, listening to her sister-in-law's reproach, she said helplessly, "How dare I dislike you? It's really a special situation. I don't want to disturb you for fear of causing you trouble! Tell my third brother, but Mom is over there after all. I have to tell her about my eldest brother's illness, so that she won't be accused of delaying things! Now that you know, I won't hide it from you. Come and visit your eldest brother!"

After hearing this, Yang Su didn't want to argue anymore, so he replied, "Then I'll bring Chi Mu over tomorrow. Coincidentally, my third brother and the others are coming tomorrow too, so let's go together!"

Yang Su originally went there to take care of her third brother and his wife, fearing that they would accuse her of disregarding family affection. Otherwise, if it weren't for the fact that they were rich and she and her children could rely on them in the future, she would never have gone to join in the fun!
