237. A widowed woman

After dinner, Tao Tao closed the door and gave Zhao Hongbin an acupuncture as usual.

Zhao Hongwei and his wife talked to their parents-in-law in the living room.

Yu Hongyan and the others asked about their elder brother’s income again.

I heard that Zhao Hongbin's various subsidies each month cost 10,000 yuan, and the couple was so excited that their voices increased.

Yu Hongyan said with a sharp voice: "Ten thousand yuan is equivalent to the income of a magnificent year. Comparing people with others is so annoying! Why is the difference between the two brothers so big?"

My father-in-law: "Who told Hongwei that he didn't go to school well back then? Hongbin relied on himself."

Yu Hongyan: "Yes! I can only blame myself for being unlucky! I married a poor person like Hongwei. My annual salary is not as much as my brother's one month's income. So Taozi doesn't need to go out to work, and she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. You can help with housework. I have to take care of my children and do housework when I am pregnant."

Mother-in-law: "Taozi also has an income. Her job is to take care of Hongbin, so Hongbin's unit pays her salary! Taozi gave Hongbin an injection twice a day and boiled medicine for Hongbin three times a day. She is also very busy at home and outside the house."

"Take care of your husband is also a job, and someone pays you a salary. How much does it cost?"

"It seems like 4,000 yuan! That's all kinds of subsidies added."

"Oh my God! Someone who takes care of her husband at home actually paid her salary, which was such a high salary. However, it seems that it was the elder brother who was taking care of you two elders! She took the salary income. Her 4,000 yuan was given to the person who was taking care of her. Whoever took care of her should give it to you."

Tao Tao stopped pricking the needle.

"Hongbin, when I went to pick them up today, your sister-in-law has been asking about your income since she got on the car. Now I feel that my income should not belong to me. What does she mean?"

"Taozi, I understand that the purpose of Hongwei and the other couple this time is nothing more than pregnancy. They want us to give them some money to prepare for having a baby."

"As brothers, they can help if they have difficulties, such as being sick or having big things. However, if they need your help at any time, it will be a bit inappropriate. You are not helping them, but harming them. You make them depend on them, and they lose the motivation to work hard and never be able to stand up."

"Yes! Before, I thought I could help them all the time, but after I was injured this time, I realized that I could not help them all my life. What if I lost my life this time, what should they do?"

"The best way to love children is to make them independent, and so are other relatives. What do you think your brother and the couple always keep an eye on other people's income? How much does it have to do with them? Besides, you have become like this now. He shouldn't care more about your physical condition, rather than just your income."

"Yes, this time I will no longer indulge their thoughts of getting something for nothing."

The two were talking when the cry of little Kapok collapsed came from outside.

Then, it was my father-in-law's voice, "Little Kapok, you are your sister, how can you fight with Xiaobao?"

Tao Tao stood up suddenly and ran directly outside the door.

In Kapok's room, Kapok's toys were scattered all over the floor, a doll's arm was removed, and there was a torn picture book on the floor.

My father-in-law was holding Xiaobao, and he was running his nose and smiling proudly at Xiao Kapok, but Xiao Kapok sat on the ground and cried.

Tao Tao held the little kapok in his arms.

"Little Kapok, what's wrong?"

"My brother stole my toys, broke my doll, tore my book, and hit me."

My father-in-law said: "She is a big one, and should give in to the small one."

"Dad, your education method is wrong. No matter what is big or small, you should follow the rules. These toys and books are for fun and reading, not for destruction."

"He is a three-year-old child, what do you know!"

"The child doesn't understand, so adults should teach him what to do!"

"Taozi, what do you mean is that I can't educate my children? Didn't Hongbin educate me? Is he not good? Would you marry him if you don't?"

"Dad, you have two sons. If you educate both sons well, I will admire you! Look, the boss is good, you teach him to make people, and the second child? You spoil, what are you spoiling?"

Yu Hongyan: "Oh! Dad and Mom, did you hear it? My sister-in-law said that you spoiled the second child and he was useless."

My parents-in-law's face looked ugly.

My father-in-law: "There is still a short time to stick out your fingers! The eldest brother went to school and the second brother stayed at home. There were more families in this situation. Why do you say that there was something wrong with my education?"

"I don't care whether your education is wrong or not, I just want to say that I can't let my daughter suffer grievances. Why should my daughter face such unfair treatment? It's still in her own family! She doesn't get respect. How can she feel safe as a child of such a young age?"

"So, this is in her family. If she cannot be wronged, it is only because others have been wronged, right?"

"Who is wronged? Kapok is so well-behaved. In kindergarten, there are so many children, she can get along with them in harmony. She has never had any conflicts with anyone. Why is it wrong for her to be at her own home?"

Yu Hongyan: "Sister-in-law, I always say that I am at home. Yes! We are all outsiders, and we can only look at your master's face properly when we get here."

"Hongyan, it turns out that you are still a little self-aware! Of course you are outsiders. In this family, only Hongbin and I, and Kapok, are the masters. You are just guests. When the guests come, we welcome you and respect you, but you can't treat yourself as your masters. Isn't this a mess?"

Hongyan: "My parents, look, you are here to help them as cows and horses. They just treat you as guests, so you should follow me back! Go back to help me take care of my children, and I'm almost going to have a second child again, and I can't be busy alone."

My father-in-law: "What's the point here? I don't want to stay anymore. If it weren't for Hongbin, I would have left."

"Hongyan, don't add fuel to the fire here, for fear that the world will not be disturbed."

"Dad, I've been wronged to stay here during this period. Now Hongbin can take care of himself and doesn't need your help. If you don't want to stay, just go back! Hongyan's place is good, so go to her place."

My father-in-law exploded instantly, "What's wrong! Can you still drive me away? This is my son's home, and the house is distributed to him by my son's unit. Who are you? The person who should leave is you, not me. I tell you Taozi, I have disliked you for a long time, and you have no income. You rely on my son's salary to buy this and that all day long. If you live like this, who is so useless to spend money? You are also pointing fingers at us."
