Chapter 1600: In-laws' Conspiracy 12
Including the original owner, there are a total of eleven people living in this 30-square-meter one-bedroom, one-living-room tube-shaped building.
The big room was divided into two small rooms. Lu's father and mother lived in the inner room, while his eldest brother and sister-in-law and their two children lived outside.
A small room was also separated from the main hall, where my second brother, his wife and their son lived.
The original owner lived in the lower bunk of a bunk bed in the main room, and the upper bunk was occupied by his third brother. When his third brother turned over at night, the bed would creak so loudly that it could wake people up.
Moreover, the upper and lower bunks were very close to my second brother and sister-in-law's small compartments, and the house was not soundproofed, so the original owner could hear whatever the couple did or said at night.
The original owner could tolerate that environment, but Yuanchun didn't want to enjoy it.
Yuanchun didn't want to go back to her parents' home. Another reason was that Lu's mother favored boys over girls. From childhood to adulthood, housework was done by the original owner and Lu's mother, and her three brothers never got involved.
After marrying my sister-in-law, Lu's mother stopped working and acted like a mother-in-law. All the housework fell on the original owner and my sister-in-law.
The original owner was willing to serve the Lu family, but Yuanchun didn't want to serve them.
After the original owner was locked up in the vegetable cellar, the Wang family said that she had run away with a strange man, and the Lu family actually believed it and never looked for her once. They even felt that she was shameful and felt that their mouths were dirty when they mentioned her.
The original owner had been imprisoned for more than a year, and she was looking forward to her family coming to rescue her every day, but her family gave up on her without any doubt because of a word from the Wang family.
Yuanchun doesn't want to get too close to her family members like this in the future.
Although the original owner’s death had nothing to do with her maternal family, her maternal family’s inaction was also a contributing factor to the original owner’s tragic death.
Sure enough, when Lu's mother heard that her daughter's moving back home would affect her younger son's marriage, she immediately kept silent.
She said, "You can't stay in the guesthouse forever. We women still need a home. I'll ask your aunt tomorrow. If there's a suitable one, you can go find another one."
"Mom, don't ask. I just got divorced and don't want to find another one. Let's talk about it when I want to find one."
"You silly girl, why are you so disobedient? I'm doing this for your own good. Besides, your third brother's wedding gift money hasn't been collected yet. Can you help your third brother by going to one more family..."
"Mom, you kept half of the betrothal money given by the Wang family, and I won't say anything. If I marry again, I won't give you the betrothal money anymore. Do you want to sell your daughter again and again?"
"You...you want to piss me off to death. Who doesn't leave some of the dowry money for their daughter? Some people leave it all, and some even leave their daughter with only one set of clothes when she gets married. I gave you half of it as a dowry, and I'm doing you a favor. How come you don't know how to be grateful?"
"Ha ha……"
Yuanchun threw two words at her and ignored her.
At half past twelve, Sun Lijuan came to take over, and Yuanchun packed up and went home.
Mother Lu stood guard at the exit and asked her coldly, "You silly girl, tell me the truth. Did the Wang family compensate you for your escape this time?"
Yuanchun raised her lips and smiled, "Mom, the compensation money is for me, I won't give it to you. I gave you all my salary for the past two years. You kept 150 yuan of the 260 yuan betrothal money from the Wang family, and only bought me 60 yuan worth of things and gave me 50 yuan as a dowry. You got a total of 1,000 yuan from me. You didn't spend so much money to raise me, did you? You've already earned it, so forget about my compensation."
"You... you stupid girl, why are you trying to settle accounts with me? I gave birth to you, raised you, and now I want some money from you, but you are calculating so much. Don't you plan to have any family members in your family in the future?"
