As for the Third Daughter-in-law, Wei Xiaochun, she was not so good. Because this daughter-in-law was not chosen by Third Grandma Xu, but by the third son of the Kuang family, Kuang Aidang.
Wei Xiaochun and Fan Fang were both from Sandaokou, but the Wei family was a well-known poor family in Sandaokou.
During the famine, the men of the Wei family took turns eating at the homes of their married daughters. Therefore, during the famine years, many married daughters of the Wei family were driven back to their parents’ homes by their in-laws.
However, the men of the Wei family did not care at all. When they ran out of food, they went to another daughter’s home to make trouble.
Wei Xiaochun looked ordinary, but she was very good at manipulating people. It was unknown when the two of them got together, but by the time Third Grandma Xu found out about it, their relationship was already a done deal.
For this reason, Third Grandma Xu had to pinch her nose and recognize this daughter-in-law.
When Kuang Aidang got married, the two elders of the Kuang family decided to separate the family. They were also worried that Wei Xiaochun, an unstable factor, would cause trouble.
Facts had proved that the decisions of Old Mr. Kuang and Third Grandma Xu were correct.
Even though the family had been separated, Wei Xiaochun still instigated Kuang Aidang to cause trouble. However, because of the separation, the eldest and second families had sufficient reasons to reject Wei Xiaochun’s unreasonable request.
But after two years of being troubled by her, Kuang Aiguo and Fan Fang, the most kind-hearted Eldest Brother-in-law and Eldest Sister-in-law, were not as close to the Third Brother’s family as before.
Ye Wu, on the other hand, was a good person.
Every time Kuang Aijun sent something rare from the army, she would give a portion to the nephews and nieces of the Eldest Brother-in-law’s family.
Because of this, sometimes during the busy farming season, Fan Fang would take the initiative to ask Ye Wu to send the two children in her family to their family so that her mother-in-law could take care of them.
Because of Ye Wu as a medium, although Kuang Aijun was not in his hometown for many years, his relationship with his Eldest Brother had become closer.
Yesterday, such a big thing happened at home. The two elders of the Kuang family didn’t care about their Second Daughter-in-law who was sent to the health center.
It was Fan Fang who ran around and sent quilts and pillows to the Second Sister-in-law who stayed in the health center and paid more than 80 cents for medicine.
“Aidang, your Second Brother died. How much pension will the army give? Is it a one-time payment or a monthly payment? When your Second Brother was alive, he had a lot of allowances every month. Now his two children are still so young, the pension will definitely not be stingy, right?”
This year was the second year that Wei Xiaochun had been married. In all these years, she had only seen the Second Brother-in-law once.
That time, because Kuang Aijun received an urgent task from the army, the family didn’t say a few words before Kuang Aijun packed up and went back to the army immediately.
Therefore, if she said that she had any feelings for this Second Brother-in-law, it would be false.
What’s more, because they separated right after getting married, Wei Xiaochun actually still had some resentment toward the Kuang family, except for Kuang Aidang.
In the beginning, she tried her best to please Kuang Aidang, not because of him personally, but because of the carpentry skills of the old man of the Kuang family and the allowance of Kuang Aijun’s military service.
However, she did not expect that after marrying into the Kuang family, she did not enjoy these two benefits.
The two elders of the Kuang family presided over the division of the family among the three brothers. Except for the small brick house they live in now, half a year’s rations, and 20 yuan, they did not get any other benefits.
Wei Xiaochun felt that the two elders of the Kuang family were partial. The parents of other families loved their youngest son, but what did they give to their youngest son?
Wei Xiaochun did not believe it. Over the years, the two old people had only saved so much money, which showed that they either subsidized the eldest family or the second family.
“Why are you asking this?”
Kuang Aidang was not a particularly bad person. The most rebellious thing he had done was to marry Wei Xiaochun against his parents’ wishes. He was also easily influenced by Wei Xiaochun and thought that his parents were partial, so he had several fights with them.
Kuang Aidan had feelings for his Second Brother Kuang Aijun, so when he heard that there was a high probability that Kuang Aijun was likely to die, Kuang Aidang was sad all night.
At this moment, Wei Xiaochun kept staring at his Second Brother’s pension, which made Kuang Aidang feel uncomfortable.
“Why? Are you on guard against me? Do you think I’m the kind of person who is greedy for money?”
Wei Xiaochun glared at her man with a somewhat unhappy expression.
“I’m thinking about Zhuangwa’er and Baowa’er. Think about it, the Second Sister-in-law is only in her twenties this year. Can she stay a widow for the Second Brother for the rest of her life? I’m afraid that the Ye family will arrange for her to remarry soon. If the Second Brother’s pension is taken away by her, what will happen to the two children? Should they be raised by the Eldest Brother’s family or by the two of us?”
“That’s impossible. Second Sister-in-law doesn’t seem like that kind of person.”
Kuang Aidang shook his head. The Second Sister-in-law looked quite kind and honest, not like the kind of woman who would take the pension for her deceased husband and ignore the two children she gave birth to.
“You can know a person’s face but not his heart.”
