When my mother was hospitalized, the three cripples stayed with her every step of the way.

Since we didn’t need so many people to accompany us here, the eldest and second children went home first.

I came here a few times and replaced the third child to let him rest.

Because the third lame man went out to recruit a husband, even though he was going to serve other people's parents, conventionally speaking, the obligation to support his own parents had been transferred to the woman's parents-in-law.

He knows this, but this is his own biological mother. How can he feel at ease and think that he has no responsibility just because the husband who was sitting on the mountain has left?

Not only do I feel responsible, but I also feel that I have been trying to find a husband all these years, and I have not been filial to my parents at home, and I feel I have always been in debt to my parents.

Therefore, despite being able to do his best, Okura-mama couldn't come by herself, but when she asked him to stay in the hospital for a few more days to stay with her mother-in-law, he tried his best to accompany her old mother every step of the way.

It’s hard to get used to marrying a daughter. She often misses her mother, let alone marrying a grown man who shouldn’t have left home!

I don't feel that it's hard to stay in bed with me, but I feel the happiness of living with my mother again.

Seeing that my mother was about to be discharged from the hospital, my eldest brother, sister-in-law, and second brother all came.

Only the second sister-in-law was missing.

The three cripples are very strange and a bit abnormal.

Because the second sister-in-law has always been much better than the eldest sister-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law always pretends to shirk responsibility when her parents have problems. In recent years, the mother has relied on the second sister-in-law for most of her problems.

Now that my mother has been injured in a fall and is about to be discharged from the hospital, there is no way my second sister-in-law will not come!

Just because I felt something was wrong, I asked my second sister-in-law why she didn't come.

The eldest brother, sister-in-law, and the second brother all said nothing.

The eldest brother's expression is quite wonderful.

My sister-in-law’s nostrils were pointed upward.

Then the second brother's eyes turned red and he walked out of the ward.

The third brother knew something was wrong as soon as he saw it, so he followed him out.

Asked the second brother, the second brother didn't say anything at first, but finally couldn't help it, held the third brother's hand and cried.

"Third brother, why do you think our brothers' lives are so miserable?"

Ever since my mother broke her leg, my sister-in-law has been jumping up and down at home these days.

The doctor said that the femoral neck is too thin, so even if a young person breaks it, the probability of healing is not high.

My mother is over seventy years old. At such an old age, her bones have almost stopped growing, and she will probably be paralyzed on the kang in the future.

There is another problem. If it cannot heal, surgery will be required later, which will cost a lot of money.

Of course, that's something for later, but right now, it's definitely impossible for my mother-in-law to go back to her own home and live alone.

Now I can't take care of myself, I have to live with my son and daughter-in-law and let them take care of me.

All of a sudden, a mother-in-law who cannot take care of herself comes to the house and needs to be taken care of. She has to deal with feces and urine. Everyone will be worried, especially the sister-in-law.

But if she worries again, she won't be able to bring it up and not support it.

If she doesn't take care of the elderly, word spreads out that the surrounding villages will be in a bad state. From now on, her son will never want to marry a wife, and her daughter will always stay at home. There will definitely be no matchmaker coming to her door.

But after all, I was used to having a leisurely life. Especially since I felt like I was at a disadvantage even if I couldn't take advantage of it, I always felt that it would be too much of a disadvantage to bring my mother-in-law into the house like this.

She felt that she could find some excuse for the three cripples.

Her reason was that the third lame man had been sitting on a mountain looking for a husband for ten years, and the boss and second boss were in charge of his parents' affairs.

Now that the mother-in-law is paralyzed, it's the third lame man's turn to help, right?

So she ignored her past grudges and temporarily forgot about her second daughter-in-law's hatred for almost scolding her in the hospital, and ran to connect with her second daughter-in-law again.

It means that the two sisters will come to an agreement and then have a showdown with the three cripples when the mother-in-law is discharged from the hospital.

The three cripples didn't care about their parents before, but now they have to fulfill their responsibilities as a son.

At least three families should take turns serving the mother-in-law!

And because the cripple has not taken care of his parents for ten years, taking care of his mother-in-law should start at his home.

Anyway, with just one word, she wanted the third cripple to take her mother-in-law to her home.

The second daughter-in-law ignored her even more when she heard this.

It's even more unreasonable than asking the third child to pay for it in the hospital.

If the third child sits on a mountain to recruit his husband, he is living under someone else's roof. He himself may be kicked out at any time.

If you pick up a paralyzed old woman, you have to bring them back together!

How could someone as smart as my sister-in-law not know this truth?

With a proud look on her face, she whispered mysteriously to her second daughter-in-law:

"Don't I know this?

How can I take my wife there when I'm looking for a husband on a mountain?

If you ask the three cripples to take my mother back, they will definitely not be able to accept it.

Can't accept it and have a falling out?

It was just right that the three cripples and my mother were both driven back.

When he came back, he still lived in the old house, and he happened to live with my mother.

You said that our two families have so many children, and my mother can at most share the same bed with us. The third lame man and my mother are generous, so he has the nerve to send our mother to our two families?

Then nothing will happen to us.

He is willing to raise it himself, but it’s not that we don’t want to raise him!

You said this is great!"

The second daughter-in-law is an upright person, and she was immediately filled with indignation when she heard this:

“Sister-in-law, are you talking human language?

His third uncle had to work hard until he was more than thirty years old, and it was not easy to raise a family. It was not easy.

In order not to serve my mother, you want to cause your wife and children to break up.

Is this something humans do?

Aren’t you afraid of harming the world?”

The sister-in-law blushed and argued: "This is not my business alone. I'm just here to discuss it with you. If you win, you can win. If you don't, forget it. Why are you so anxious!"

He left bitterly.

The reason why she didn't fall out on the spot was because she was afraid that the second child's family would tell her what she said.

Although she doesn't cherish her reputation that much, her son is already twenty this year and he still doesn't have a wife. How can he find a wife if word spreads about it?

After I returned home, I became more and more angry.

The second child actually scolded her for being outrageous!

Even though he was scolded in person, she didn't dare to reply.

When had she ever felt so cowardly?

So I decided to take the initiative.

She believed that as long as she publicly broke up with the second family and broke things off, and then the second family came out and said something else, people would think it was personal revenge, and her words would have no credibility.

It's like she took back her words about how she was going to trick the three cripples.

He immediately called his three married daughters back, and she took charge of directing them. The three daughters were like frogs after the rain, singing a chorus of female voices, angrily scolding their second aunt.

The reason is of course not due to differences in pension arrangements, but because the second aunt bullied their mother.

Some of the neighbors came to offer advice, and some gathered around to watch the fun.

The eldest sister-in-law complained in various ways how unfair the family division was. The trees in the garden she was given were originally two fewer than those in the second son's garden, and they were not as big as the trees in the second son's garden, and so on.

The second daughter-in-law couldn't bear the scolding, her brain became hot, and she jumped into the reservoir out of curiosity. At least she was fished out after being seen.

After the elder sister-in-law heard about it, she didn't feel guilty. Instead, she thought she had won a great victory. This was a sign of cowardice.

Seeing that my mother-in-law was about to be discharged from the hospital, the couple and the second son went to the county hospital together.

On the way, my sister-in-law brought up the old matter again, and this time her attitude was tough.

He clearly informed the two brothers of his thoughts and warned them that you don't have to say anything. My wife is better than my mother. Let me talk to the three cripples.

The eldest brother was "afraid of his lip kiss", but Nono didn't dare to refute.

The second brother was afraid of his sister-in-law because of the incident where his wife jumped into the reservoir, and he no longer dared to exploit her.

When the third lame man heard what his second brother said, he felt as if he was struck by thunder.

Senseless!

It's not that he is unfilial, nor does he want to serve his mother.
