Chapter 97 Uncle's Sad History

My cousin got married and found a colleague who worked in an electronics factory. The marriage was pretty good. In just two years, he gave birth to a little granddaughter for them, which added a lot of happiness.

But there is a problem that my uncle was very distressed. My cousin's financial power was in the hands of my cousin's sister-in-law. My cousin was unwilling to pay the loan, so she could only bear it by her uncle and aunt. After eating together, they had to pay for their daily meal expenses, so that they had no savings in their hands.

As the granddaughter grew up, living became a problem. Because she was a girl, she could no longer live with her parents, and it was not suitable to live with her grandparents, so her granddaughter lived in the living room.

After a long time, my cousin's wife had an opinion. She finally spoke out and asked her uncle and aunt to rent a house. She must pay another rent for rent. The uncle and aunt put the difficulties on the table. If you can rent a house, you can pay the bank loan by your cousin and his wife.

My cousin's sister-in-law was unhappy and returned to her parents' home in anger. She stayed there for a month. My cousin called me twice, but she didn't come back, saying that her uncle and aunt lived in the house would not go home. You can live a life with your family, but this place does not belong to her.

My cousin was afraid of his wife and couldn't convince her, so she had to do her uncle and aunt's job.

In order to take into account the overall situation, my uncle and aunt did not want the couple to have conflicts. They gritted their teeth and moved out, rented an old one-bedroom house, and just made do with it.

The mortgage was finally paid off. My uncle and aunt thought it would be easier, but when they were old, the clothing factory didn't want to use them to do odd jobs anymore and were unemployed. Because they were temporary workers, they did not have pension insurance, and they lost their income after they were unemployed.

My cousin often visits them, but my cousin can’t make the decision. The salary is in the hands of my cousin’s wife. My cousin is just a person and can’t help my parents with money. My cousin’s wife’s reason is that her daughter wants to go to college and needs a considerable amount of money and has to save money to support her children’s schooling.

My uncle and aunt couldn't sit there and squandered the whole country, so my uncle found another temporary job to watch the community. He didn't earn much money, but he still had an investment. My aunt went to pick up garbage and could earn dozens of dollars a day.

My uncle may have been fired because he looked older. My aunt was in poor health and the two of them barely survived by the little money they earned from picking up garbage.

Considering that I would go home in the future, I hadn't seen my father for so many years and would come back after I died, it was really unreasonable, so I came back to contact my father and have a relationship.

Speaking of this, my uncle apologized to my father and me for his cold attitude when he sold those two thatched houses.

Listening to my uncle and aunt's miserable life experiences, I forgive all their inappropriate practices before.

At this time, I had a new idea. Since my uncle and aunt were not doing well in the provincial capital, it would be better to go back to my hometown. There is no problem with the spacious new house and the current living conditions of my family are not a problem to support them. Since my cousin and sister-in-law don’t want to care about them, I will care.

When I made this suggestion, tears flashed in my uncle and aunt's eyes again, but they agreed. My father had no objection. Now it depends on what my mother meant. If my mother doesn't object, they will come back.

I patted my chest and took over the work of persuading my mother. After going to the room, I looked for my mother and told her about my uncle and aunt's dissatisfaction and my plans.

At first, my mother disagreed. She said that she had lived a family long time ago and had nothing to do with each other's life. Now that she can't continue living, they don't have sons, so we have no obligation to care about them.

Seeing that my mother was determined, I immediately gave up after I explained something to him.

"I'm currently with the girl in the city and is under the inspection period. I have nothing to say about our family's financial conditions, and I don't have much objection to me. The focus of the investigation now is the character of our family. I am the only brother, and I don't have brothers and sisters. Even if I don't live under the same roof with my in-laws in the future, I will still have to take care of it. This is impossible to avoid. The measurement of my in-laws' personality, temperament, and character is the focus of my people's investigation. If I act too stingy, this marriage may not be possible."

My marriage has become my mother's heart disease. For her, everything has to make way for my marriage, even if she suffers a little grievance. I made up such a random reason, but she actually believed it.

"Originally, I have no other conflicts with your uncle and aunt except for the distribution of houses. Besides, that matter has passed long ago and it is not a problem at all. Now that our family is in good condition, I have no objection to them if they want to defect to your father, my brother. We can't let others say anything to us because of this matter, and it will not affect your marriage."

Seeing that my mother agreed, I happily wanted to go back and tell my uncle and aunt.

My mother grabbed me.

"Are you really saying it? That girl really interested you?"

"I mean! I mean! It depends on how you and your father perform."

I quickly responded and went home.

When my mother agreed, my father was happy, and my uncle and aunt were even happier. I immediately said that I would return to the provincial capital tomorrow. I went back to leave the house, deal with the dilapidated furniture and came back.

My father asked them to stay for two days before going back to do these things, which was not an urgent matter.

My aunt said it was the end of the month soon. If you don’t check out, it would involve the rent issue next month. It would be better to go back early and save the money in vain.

My father then agreed.

My mother entered the house.

Uncle and aunt naturally knew that their mother had forgiven them, and they could not finish their words of gratitude.

"We can't be polite here. It's time to cook and eat. Xiaoyu is very busy and has to go back to the county town after dinner."

Everyone was happy with one sentence. So my mother and aunt went to the kitchen to cook, and my father took my uncle to the back of the room for a walk to see the changes in the mountains. I took advantage of the fact that no one came to pick vegetables and entered the space to transplant melon seedlings.

Today's lunch was very sumptuous. I found that my aunt was also a good cook and her cooking skills were not inferior to her mother. Maybe I ate the rice cooked by my aunt when I was a child, but I had no impression of it.

The uncle and father and brother drank some wine, and the atmosphere was good.

I returned to the county town after lunch.

My uncle and aunt returned to the provincial capital the next day and came back a week later. It happened to be another Saturday, so I went to the township station to pick them up home.

This time, my uncle and aunt really didn't leave. They greeted my cousin. My cousin just verbally tried to keep him, but there was no way to deal with the helpless reality. He had to let his uncle and aunt go back to his hometown and send a message to thank his uncle and aunt for taking in his parents.

I scoffed at it.

This time, my uncle and aunt came back and asked a new question.

The half acre of land in the greenhouse is half of theirs. They want to grow some land. When they see that their parents have income from growing vegetables, they also plan to plant them. In order not to compete with their parents for business, they plan to set up stalls in the village.

Since people have arrived at my house, how can I ignore them? They are older than my parents, and I don’t want them to work so hard.

I asked my uncle, aunt and parents to run this greenhouse together, and my income was half the share. I think it was fair.

My father has no objection.
